In this CME Outfitters livestream symposium, expert faculty will discuss the disease burden and impact of LGS on QoL for patients and caregivers, the utilization of diagnostic criteria and distinguishing features of both early- and late-onset LGS to achieve early and accurate diagnosis, and strategies to optimize LGS management across the lifespan of these patients.
Dr. Dixon-Salazar is a neuroscientist, geneticist, and patient advocate. Her desire to get her PhD was inspired by her daughter who developed Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) at the age of 2. She completed her PhD and postdoctoral work at UC, San Diego, where she studied the mechanisms of brain development and synaptic plasticity, identified genetic causes of rare disorders in children, and researched precision therapeutics in stem cell and animal models of pediatric disease. During her research tenure, and after 16 years of watching daily, unrelenting seizures in her child, she uncovered the driver of her daughter’s illness and identified a novel precision therapy that improved her child’s life.
Dr. Dixon-Salazar left academia after 15 years in the lab with a drive to decrease the amount of time it would take for patients to benefit from lab discoveries in epilepsy precision medicine. She worked as Associate Research Director at CURE Epilepsy helping to move funding forward for novel translational research in genomic medicine for patients with severe forms of pediatric-onset epilepsy. She then transitioned to the Director of Research and Strategy at the Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Foundation where she worked directly with patients to access precision therapies and partnered with researchers, clinicians, regulators, policymakers, therapy developers, and other advocacy groups to build a sustainable precision medicine infrastructure for all patients with epilepsy. Currently, Dr. Dixon- Salazar serves as the Executive Director of the LGS Foundation, where the mission is to improve the lives of individuals impacted by LGS through advancing research, awareness, education, and family support
In this CME Outfitters livestream symposium, expert faculty will instruct learners on the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of IBD. Learners will be guided on the role of the IL-23/Th17 inflammatory axis in IBD pathogenesis and how to appraise the clinical implications of anti-IL-23 agents used in the treatment of IBD. Faculty will model the development of individualized treatment plans for patients with IBD that are eligible for treatment with an IL-23-targeted agent.
In this CME Outfitters live webcast, expert faculty will elucidate the importance of comprehensive therapeutic and supportive care in preventing end-organ damage and improving QoL in patients with SCD. Learners will be guided through determining the effectiveness and challenges of current therapies to address the burden of disease in patients with SCD. Faculty will discuss emerging options in SCD treatment, including the long-term efficacy and safety of new interventions and investigational agents.
In this CME Outfitters live webcast, expert faculty will assess the burden of delayed diagnosis on patients with PBC, review evidence-based strategies for early, non-invasive detection, and discuss contemporary clinical pathways for treatment, including recent FDA-approved options. The program will also emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration and shared decision-making to empower patients and improve health outcomes through informed and equitable care. Learners will be equipped with evidence-based tools to help incorporate diagnostic and treatment approaches at the point of care.
In the fifth activity of this CME Outfitters podcast series on gynecologic cancers, expert faculty will present and discuss the very latest research that guides the use of first-line maintenance therapy for the treatment of OC.
In this CME Outfitters Infographic, expert faculty will explore the role of new advanced therapies in UC treatment algorithms, facilitating the transition to these therapies in patients with UC who are non-/under-responsive to traditional treatments, and utilizing traditional treatments as well as available biologics and small-molecule therapies to optimize outcomes in patients with IP.
In this CME Outfitters Podcast, expert faculty will discuss utilization of current and emerging screening and diagnostic tools in diverse populations for detection of AD early in the disease course; integration of culturally sensitive patient and caregiver education strategies to improve shared decision-making on brain health and/or AD management with patients; and implementation of MDT care when treating patients with AD.
In this CME Outfitters Infographic, expert faculty will present patient profiles to select and tailor ART treatment regimens based on individual needs, comorbidities and long-term health outcomes including maintaining viral suppression with drug resistance and treating HIV and HBV co-infections. “Escape-room” style activities will model practice environments with challenges designed by expert, multidisciplinary faculty to effectively engage learners using gaming elements to teach treatment options for PLWH.
