In this activity, experts in dermatology and pediatric primary care discuss the management of patients with atopic dermatitis. A patient also joins the discussion to provide unique perspectives on living with atopic dermatitis and interacting with healthcare providers. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Diagnose atopic dermatitis in individual patients based on recognition of clinical manifestations and application of current diagnostic criteria and guidelines, Describe the mechanisms of action and clinical profiles of new and emerging topical and systemic therapies for atopic dermatitis, Select appropriate treatments for patients with atopic dermatitis based on current guideline recommendations, the safety and efficacy of available treatment options, comorbidities, and burden of disease, Employ shared decision-making approaches to create individualized treatment plans for atopic dermatitis, Implement patient/caregiver education strategies to improve adherence to atopic dermatitis treatment (eg, managing application-site pain associated with topical therapies) and assess the effects of treatment on patient quality of life

Fernando J. Martinez, MD, MS - Winning Strategies for Diagnosing and Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Go online to PeerView.com/YAX860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Optimal management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) begins with accurate diagnosis and ongoing, appropriate assessment of disease severity. The burden of COPD, and its associated morbidity and mortality, are not always recognized, and underdiagnosis remains prevalent. A personalized, evidence-based approach to the management of patients with COPD, including the selection of treatment based on various factors such as patient symptomatology, comorbidities, exacerbation risk, choice of inhalation device, and phenotypic characteristics, can help healthcare providers in guiding their patients down a path to successful treatment. Proper technique and adherence, as well as involving the patient in the creation of a COPD action plan and goal setting, so they may better manage COPD in their everyday life, are also key elements in a patient’s journey with COPD. In this activity, our expert panel explores the use of evidence-based guidelines in diagnosing patients and the therapeutic role of eosinophils. In addition, the panel discusses the creation of treatment plans, proper inhaler technique, and the importance of adherence for patients with COPD. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Employ evidence-based guidelines to accurately diagnose and monitor patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Discuss the potential role of eosinophils in selecting maintenance therapy for patients with COPD, Create maintenance treatment plans for patients with COPD, based on factors including efficacy, safety, patient symptomatology, comorbidities, and exacerbation risk, Apply strategies to ensure proper inhaler use and encourage goal setting and medication adherence for patients with COPD
