As We Age: Considering the Impact of Renal Impairment When Choosing an HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Formulation
Lack of knowledge about PrEP remains a major barrier for optimal PrEP uptake. Furthermore, knowledge of PrEP and long-term risk mitigation related to renal impairment and use in individuals with medical comorbidities is necessary for improving widespread uptake. This is particularly important in aging individuals who are at risk for contracting HIV, as they may have medical comorbidities and ris...

Call to Action for Health Equity: Racial Disparities in the Care of Patients with Cardiometabolic Disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for adults in the US. However, patients from minority populations with cardiovascular disease have disproportionately poor health outcomes and are particularly vulnerable to health disparities. Racial inequities in health also result in higher risk-burden in minority groups for metabolic syndromes such as Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes, which i...

Data-Driven Decisions in Crohn's Disease: Positioning Patients for Success
While there is a tendency for clinicians to rely on one approach to treating Crohn's disease (CD), making confident data-driven treatment decisions in moderate-to-severe CD is imperative for durable, long-term remission. The traditional approach that has been based on progressive, step-wise treatment intensification with re-evaluation of response according to symptoms does not improve long-term ...

Differentiators When Choosing Novel Treatment Options for EDS
Reducing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is an important treatment goal for patients with narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In order to achieve reduced EDS, cataplexy and sleep paralysis/hypnagogic hallucinations must be controlled to improve disturbed nighttime sleep, which then improves fatigue and brain fog and reduces psychosocial dysfunction, therefore improving quality of lif...

Implementing a Shingles Protocol in Pharmacies
Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a common secondary infection that can impose a significant burden, impacting cerebrovascular, cardiovascular, neurologic, ophthalmic, and dermatologic systems. Therefore, despite common perceptions, shingles is more than just a rash, and its extensive burden highlights the need for an effective prevention strategy. While highly effective vaccines exist, shingles va...

Irregular Care: Racial Inequities in the Management of Cardiac Rhythm Disorders
Structural racism and classism leads to many of the social determinants of health (SDoH) that cause disparities in cardiovascular (CVD) care, such as unequal preventative care, heart arrythmia treatment, and research inclusion. Interpersonal racism, including unconscious bias, worsens disproportionate CVD care, and is also a stand-alone factor for this health inequity. Underrepresented minority ...

Managing Patients with HFrEF Post-Discharge: Discussion of the Latest Evidence
In 2021, new practice guidelines, updated clinical pathways, and a universal definitions and classification document were released to help clinicians better diagnose, stage, and manage patients with heart failure (HF). The recommendations include direction on sequencing foundational therapies and integrating the latest FDA-approved additions to the HF armamentarium – SGLT2 inhibitors and an or...

Matching Treatment Choice to the Pathophysiology of Sleep
The neurobiology of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has no identified pathophysiology. This can make it difficult for clinicians to determine a target for therapeutic intervention; therefore, awareness of the mechanisms of action of current and novel therapies is vital when selecting an optimal treatment.
In the second episode of this CME Outfitters podcast...

Promoting Equitable Oral Health in Patients of Color
There are many vulnerable and underserved populations in oral health. Gaps in health and health care are often caused by the disconnect between medical and dental care and a fragmented system that has left 74 million people without dental insurance, leading to knowledge gaps and a lack of dental-medical collaboration and coordination in patient care. These issues are exacerbated in patients of c...

The Complete Response: Addressing Antidepressant Failure in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a profoundly debilitating, lifelong disorder. Many patients do not achieve remission with initial first-line antidepressant therapy, which is typically comprised of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Subsequently, patients endure a high burden of treatment failure, though it is often unrecogn...
