In this CME activity, based on a recent live webcast, leading experts examine the vital role of primary care physicians in the management of patients who have or are at risk of DR and DME and offer practical insight on current screening recommendations, risk factor management, and novel treatment options to improve outcomes. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Reconcile current guidance offered in evidence-based treatment recommendations regarding screening, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with suspected DR with or without DME, Counsel patients with DR with or without DME about the effects a timely diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment options can have on outcomes, Implement strategies that overcome barriers to ensure the timely and appropriate referral to ophthalmologic specialists who can utilize treatment regimens that have been shown to improve outcomes and/or encourage regression of DR, Discuss newer treatment options in a manner that overcomes patient-related barriers and encourages them to seek care from ophthalmologic specialists.

In this activity, an expert in obesity management discusses aspects of obesity management, including current recommendations, the role of weight-loss pharmacotherapies, evidence regarding current and emerging weight-loss pharmacotherapies, and patient-centered treatment approaches. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Summarize current treatment recommendations, with rationale for the long-term use of weight-loss pharmacotherapy in the management of obesity as a chronic disease, Evaluate recent evidence regarding available and emerging weight-loss agents, including current data on efficacy, safety, and anticipated effects in the context of obesity pathophysiology, Incorporate weight-loss pharmacotherapy in personalized obesity management plans, based on disease status and patient characteristics and preferences, Use motivational techniques to engage and support individuals in obesity management.

In this activity, a stroke and vascular neurologist shares a patient case to provide clinical relevance and a practical exploration of the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with a large hemispheric infarction (LHI). Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply current evidence-based guidelines to diagnose and treat patients with an LHI, Identify clinical characteristics associated with increased risk of cerebral edema in patients following an LHI, Summarize the benefits and limitations of current and emerging therapeutic strategies to prevent cerebral edema in patients following an LHI.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have intersecting risk factors, and their prevalence has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Accumulating evidence has shown that SGLT2 inhibitors not only improve glycemic control but also potentially target other chronic diseases at the cardiorenal intersection, resulting in improved cardiovascular and renal endpoints for patients with or without T2DM. Revised treatment guidelines from leading endocrinology and cardiology societies prioritize SGLT2 inhibitors, especially in patients with T2DM and atherosclerotic CVD, heart failure, and/or CKD. In this activity, based on a recent live webcast, a multidisciplinary panel of experts reviews FDA-approved indications, treatment guidelines, and the accumulating evidence for SGLT2 inhibitors in comorbid cardiometabolic diseases. To integrate clinical evidence into practice, the experts also present complex patient cases to offer strategies for personalizing treatment plans and improving outcomes for patients with T2DM, heart failure, and CKD. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: Recognize FDA-approved indications and the placement of SGLT2 inhibitors in current treatment guidelines, Summarize the proposed mechanism(s) supporting the therapeutic potential of SGLT2 inhibitors to target cardiorenal endpoints in patients with and without T2DM, Evaluate safety and efficacy results from clinical trials and real-world studies of SGLT2 inhibitors to optimize cardiorenal outcomes in patients with and without T2DM, Incorporate SGLT2 inhibitors, as appropriate, into the care of clinically complex patients with comorbid cardiovascular, renal, and/or metabolic diseases.

Obesity is a complex chronic disease that can cause serious health complications. Current guidelines advocate for the use of multiple interventions to address the genetic, behavioral, and metabolic factors that contribute to insufficient weight loss or weight regain. Weight-loss pharmacotherapy is a recommended approach with distinct mechanisms of action that can affect different aspects of obesity pathophysiology. In this activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, leading experts examine the pathophysiology of obesity, focusing on metabolic adaptation and the role of GLP-1 in energy consumption and expenditure and review the latest evidence for GLP-1–based agents. The panel also discusses clinically relevant patient scenarios to offer practical guidance on identifying ideal candidates for weight-loss medications and integrating these medications into individualized treatment plans in order to optimize health outcomes and promote long-term weight loss. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Recognize the role of weight-loss pharmacotherapy used adjunct to other treatment approaches for addressing obesity pathophysiology, including metabolic adaptation, Assess available evidence on current and emerging GLP-1–based weight-loss pharmacotherapies, including long-term efficacy and safety data, Incorporate GLP-1–based weight-loss pharmacotherapy, as appropriate, into individualized, evidence-based treatment plans for long-term obesity management.
