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.

Intravitreal treatments have advanced rapidly to become the mainstay of therapy for DR/DME. Anti-VEGF agents and corticosteroid implants have demonstrated efficacy for reducing vision loss from DR/DME and may be administered adjunctively to laser photocoagulation. Increasingly, studies comparing these treatments in combination, in sequence, or in head-to-head trials are becoming available, helping to refine decisions regarding the right therapy for the right patient at the right time. Additionally, new intravitreal treatments offer the potential of even higher efficacy, greater safety, or longer intervals between retreatments. Join our panel of noted retina specialists for an engaging discussion of emerging agents, including a review of recent reported clinical trials and their implications for advancing patient-centered care for DR/DME. The expert dialogue will be complemented by noteworthy insights from a patient with DR/DME who will share her personal insights on diagnosis and treatment. This three-part activity is divided into multiple chapters for ease of navigation and access: Part 1. Great Expectations: What Are We Asking of Patients Undergoing DR/DME Treatment?, Part 2. Seeking a Higher Standard of Care: Advances in Therapy for DR/DME, Part 3. Patient Considerations and Newer Therapies: The Practical Side of Advances in Therapy for DR/DME. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe challenges associated with current intravitreal treatment regimens for DR/DME from the patient perspective, Differentiate the benefits and limitations of current and emerging intravitreal agents for the treatment of DR/DME, Evaluate the evidence for current and emerging intravitreal agents to prevent vision-threatening outcomes in patients with DR/DME, Incorporate a personalized, patient-centered approach to the use of intravitreal therapies in patients with DR/DME.

In this activity, an expert in pediatric growth hormone deficiency (pGHD) discusses the latest advances in treatment and patient-centered approaches to care. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify appropriate pediatric candidates for growth hormone (GH) therapy based on approved indications, current recommendations, and relevant diagnostic test results, Evaluate evidence regarding the clinical characteristics (eg, efficacy, safety and tolerability, ease of administration, dosing frequency) of available and emerging GH therapies, Individualize pediatric GH therapy to include efforts that address patient needs and preferences, such as personalized dosing, therapeutic monitoring, and assistance with care transitions.
