HCV Elimination in PWIDs and the Incarcerated

Activity Details

HCV Elimination in PWIDs and the Incarcerated

Activity Summary:
The Simply Speaking Hepatitis lecture series includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data utilizing a library of PowerPoint slide presentations developed and approved by key expert physicians and further reviewed and approved by the Planning Committee.

Recent advances in HCV treatment offer an unprecedented opportunity to eliminate HCV. Scaling up HCV treatment in persons who inject drugs (PWIDs) is necessary to positively impact the HCV epidemic in the US and globally. In addition, to eliminate HCV, there is a need to engage the criminal justice system by increasing routine screening and improving access to direct-acting antiviral agents to persons who are imprisoned. These slides will address important issues for PWIDs and the incarcerated with HCV, including epidemiologic trends, prevention strategies, and AASLD recommendations for contemporary HCV management approaches/challenges and harm reduction approaches.

Activity Summary:
The Simply Speaking HIV Management lecture series includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data utilizing a library of PowerPoint slide presentations developed and approved by key expert physicians and further reviewed and approved by the Planning Committee.

Persistent inflammation is a vexing phenomenon that contributes to comorbidities in persons with HIV as they live longer. Early initiation of ART is the cornerstone to minimizing harmful effects of HIV viremia and inflammation on target organ systems. In addition, greater attention is needed on preventative approaches to mitigate cardiovascular disease, renal insufficiency, bone disease/frailty, and cognitive decline. This activity will use a case-based approach to discuss age-related comorbidities in persons with HIV and prevention/management approaches for HIV and common comorbidities.

Essentials in HCV: Best Practices Before and After the Cure

Activity Summary:
The Simply Speaking Hepatitis lecture series includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data utilizing a library of PowerPoint slide presentations developed and approved by key expert physicians and further reviewed and approved by the Planning Committee.

Chronic HCV infection affects over 3 million Americans and is a leading cause of liver failure, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.

Atlanta Breast Cancer Symposium Enduring Video Archive

Activity Summary:
We are pleased to have recently held the Atlanta Breast Cancer Symposium (ABCS) on April 13, 2019 at the InterContinental Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia.

There are multiple professional education opportunities in breast cancer across the country. The difference of the ABCS with others is the emphasis in the molecular basis of breast cancer to be applied from early detection to management of advanced disease, beyond induction treatment.

The objective of the symposium is to educate the oncology community on the rapidly evolving field of breast cancer from molecular biology to the development and clinical application of highly specific molecules to interfere with the cellular machinery allowing the cancer cells to survive, proliferate, and spread.

These certified CME/CE enduring video archives, with panel discussions, provide access to the conference including clinical presentation and interactive panel discussions with the faculty and audience.

We hope you enjoy this activity!

Conversations in HCV: Elimination and Treatment Challenges

Activity Summary:
The national strategy for the elimination of HCV in the United States calls for a 90% reduction incidence of HCV and having 90% of those with HCV being treated. Significant strides have been achieved in simplifying HCV treatment regimens and improving SVR rates.

Pulmonary Hypertension for Urgent Care / Emergency Providers

Activity Summary:
Research shows that there is as much as a 2-year median lag between the time patients present with symptoms associated with PAH and a definitive diagnosis through right-heart catheterization. Millions of patients are seen annually in emergency and urgent care settings, often as their single point of contact with the US healthcare system.

These educational mini modules will outline the hallmarks of various forms of pulmonary hypertension, including PAH, in the hopes of triggering earlier referral for specific screening and diagnostic testing. In addition, recommendations for dealing with the already diagnosed PAH patient who presents for emergent/urgent care will be discussed.
