This PeerView MasterClass and Tumor Board video activity, based on an educational session from The Liver Meeting® (American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases) in Boston, features a panel of hepatology, oncology, surgery, and interventional radiology experts, who provide their clinical perspectives on cutting-edge science that has validated, newly available systemic treatment options in HCC. Coupled with each MasterClass, the Tumor Board segments feature reflective case-centered discussions on the crucial role that hepatology clinicians serve across the HCC continuum of care. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Evaluate the safety and efficacy data of multikinase and checkpoint inhibitors and antiangiogenic therapy indicated for advanced HCC, Summarize emerging clinical evidence on the use of novel systemic options in conjunction with or as an alternative to continued LRT for patients with intermediate HCC, Implement multidisciplinary team-based approaches to develop safe, personalized treatment algorithms that utilize novel components for patients with HCC

In this activity, experts in infectious diseases discuss employing PrEP and HIV prevention strategies across all age groups. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the biologic principles and HIV prevention benefit of PrEP, Discuss clinical data to support PrEP use in different age groups (eg, youth, adults, and older adults), Develop strategies for the healthcare team to employ culturally competent educational and counseling strategies to improve the uptake of prevention measures among patients at increased risk for HIV infection across the lifespan, Facilitate access to PrEP among youth, adults, and individuals aged 50 and older.

In this activity, an expert in influenza discusses the use of available and emerging antiviral therapies for the treatment of influenza. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Recognize the underutilization of antiviral treatment in the management of influenza despite recommendations from practice guidelines, Summarize the mechanisms of action, efficacy, safety, tolerability, and dosing of currently available and novel/emerging antiviral agents for the treatment of influenza, Incorporate currently available and novel/emerging antiviral therapies into the treatment of patients with influenza according to the latest clinical evidence and guideline recommendations.

In this activity, an expert in lung disease discusses the increased incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD) and the risk factors for developing NTM-LD while offering insights into the recognition of NTM-LD, the challenges associated with managing this condition, and the potential role of novel therapeutic strategies. The activity will focus on the overall goal of diagnosing NTM-LD earlier to ensure that patients benefit from timely and appropriate treatment leading to the best possible outcomes. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Identify strategies to optimally diagnose NTM-LD, including reducing time to diagnosis, rapid identification of risk factors, and utilization of clinical, radiographic, and microbiologic criteria, Cite recent evidence on the medical burden of NTM-LD and emerging therapeutic strategies, including data from registries, epidemiological studies, health outcomes, and clinical trials, Recognize best practices in NTM-LD treatment, including airway clearance, medication optimization, susceptibility testing, repeated cultures, and duration of treatment, Employ individualized, guideline-concordant approaches to treat patients with NTM-LD, taking into account strategies to optimize medication adherence, manage adverse events, and integrate newer therapies into clinical management.

No single prevention method or approach can stop the HIV epidemic on its own. Several interventions have proved highly effective in reducing the risk of, and protecting against, HIV infection, including male and female condoms, the use of antiretroviral medicines as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and the treatment of people living with HIV, to reduce viral load and prevent onward transmission. Despite the availability of this widening array of effective HIV prevention tools and a massive scale-up of HIV treatment in recent years, new infections among adults globally have not decreased sufficiently, and infections have actually increased in the United States among African American gay and bisexual men and Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued clinical practice guidelines for PrEP use in the United States, numerous implementation barriers remain, including questions about the effectiveness of PrEP, optimal settings for provision, cost, and the most effective ways to motivate healthcare practitioners to prescribe PrEP. Protocols to identify individuals who are most likely to benefit from PrEP have been developed, but addressing racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities poses additional challenges. This activity will marry Dr. Donna Sweet’s personal experiences in clinical utilization of HIV prevention strategies with practical, evidence-based guidance for patient care decisions, to provide additional motivation and rationale for participants to review their own current management strategies and adjust them as needed to optimize patient care. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Effectively engage clients in conversations about sexual health practices to assess HIV risk factors and support their ability to have healthy sex lives, Develop a set of comprehensive competencies (with a focus on PrEP interventions) based on a provider’s individual client needs, Apply current evidence with individual client needs/preferences when integrating HIV prevention options (eg, PrEP, PEP, viral suppression, female condoms) into practice, Employ culturally competent educational and counseling strategies to improve the uptake of prevention measures among clients at increased risk for HIV infection, Facilitate access to HIV prevention options by effectively connecting clients to available resources, support, and assistance, Describe currently available and emerging tools that have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission or acquisition, Describe currently available methods for client-friendly diagnostic tests that measure and improve adherence to medications.
