Right Patient, Right Treatment, Right Time: Utilizing Early, High-Efficacy Therapies to Improve Outcomes in RRMS
Recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of early and aggressive treatment strategies in reducing disability progression and the frequency of relapses in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), marking a paradigm shift in the treatment of patients with RRMS.

Beyond the Old Paradigms: Novel Approaches to the Treatment of Chronic Idiopathic Constipation
Chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) affects 35 million adults in the United States, making it one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders. Despite the high prevalence, CIC is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, which exacts a functional, psychosocial, and economic toll on patients and their loved ones. The current treatment goal in CIC is multi-symptom relief, but only 16% of patients with CIC are on prescription therapy, and they often only obtain partial relief, with many using la... |

Giving Shingles Immunization Your Best Shot: Implementing a Shingles Vaccination Protocol in Your Practice
Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a common secondary infection for older patients.

Retooling for Modern Management of Progressive MS: An Interactive, Case-Based Activity
The approval of ocrelizumab for primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) was groundbreaking, and more recently the MS community bore witness to another major breakthrough in MS management when siponimod was approved for secondary progressive MS (SPMS). Additionally, new investigational agents such as MD1003 (high-dose biotin) and masitinib are also being evaluated for treatment of PPMS, and clinical data for both show promise for patients with SPMS.
However, despite these advances, stu... |
