In this activity, an allergy expert discusses the mechanism of action and current treatment approaches for managing IgE-mediated food allergies. Upon completion of this accredited CE activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss key limitations associated with current treatment approaches for managing food allergies, Differentiate the mechanisms of action of current and emerging treatments for IgE-mediated food allergies, Identify patients with IgE-mediated food allergies who would likely derive benefit from treatment with IgE-blocking therapies.

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.

Growing appreciation of the importance of B-cell–targeted therapies in multiple sclerosis (MS) management has spurred research into the potential role that Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors may play in MS management. In this activity, based on a recent live satellite symposium, expert faculty will put BTK inhibitors into context, starting with the expanding understanding of the inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes of MS, the roles of B cells, microglia, and T cells, and how the ongoing investigations of BTK inhibitors as possible MS treatments build upon the successes of B-cell–targeted therapies. They will also review the evidence related to current clinical trials and engage learners in a case-based discussion exploring how BTK inhibitors might someday be deployed to address unmet needs of individuals with MS. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Recognize characteristics and evidence related to the role of BTK inhibitors in addressing MS pathophysiology, Compare characteristics of BTK inhibitors with other B-cell–targeted therapies, Evaluate available data on the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BTK inhibitors in the context of addressing the treatment needs of patients with MS.
