Cystic Fibrosis Life Transitions

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 15:48:21 GMT

Until the advent of highly effective CFTR modulator medications, cystic fibrosis was considered a pediatric disease, because most individuals did not survive into adulthood. Now, with more adults living with CF than children, priorities must change. In these interviews, we discuss what transitions to a longer life with CF entails: from pediatric to adult care; from the possibilities of motherhood and the need for family planning; from adulthood into older age and the infirmities common to all aging adults.

New Directions in Long-Acting ART and Long-Acting PrEP

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 10:05:00 GMT

How will the current research advancements in long-acting ART affect clinicians’ ability to provide better care for their patients with HIV? The recent data show that the low uptake and adherence to PrEP may be largely due to the pill burden and potential stigma of daily dosing. How might the newer longer-acting PrEP regimens challenge this reluctance?

Barriers To Minority Participation in MS Clinical Trials

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 10:01:00 GMT

In the clinical trials of new MS medications and procedures, why has the participation of racial and ethnic minority individuals been so low? Is it a difficulty with outreach? Are the patient barriers to participation underrecognized and underaddressed? Does historical mistrust of the medical community remain a strong negative? What should clinicians and trial designers do to increase diversity to improve care for all individuals with MS?

PLWH & SUD: A Clinical Perspective

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 08:00:09 GMT

The primary health concern for all individuals living with HIV should be managing their disease, particularly maintaining adherence to their ART treatment. Yet for many, the more immediate demands of their substance use disorder — whether for stimulants and/or opioids — take precedence and can readily become the central focus of their lives. What signals can help a clinician recognize a substance use disorder? How can they differentiate a clinical SUD from intermittent (even though harmful) substance use? What evidence-based treatments should they consider?

MS and Family Planning: The Clinician’s Perspective

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 08:00:35 GMT

Giving birth and raising a family. For many people with MS, the path to achieving those goals contains more questions than answers. Questions about timing — which should come first, pregnancy or disease stability on a DMT? Questions about genetics — can MS be passed on to the baby? Questions about fertility — is in vitro fertilization safe and effective, and how much does it increase disease activity? Questions their treating clinicians may not be able to answer with the most current research.

PLWH: Overcoming Post-Incarceration Care Disengagement

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 14:00:29 GMT

People living with HIV who’ve had criminal legal involvement face significant challenges that complicate their ability to remain in the HIV care continuum. Many, while incarcerated, have stopped treatment, and once back in the community have been reluctant to resume ART. Why? What are the key drivers behind their disengagement from care? What can clinicians do to encourage these patients to return to treatment? What strategies have been tried, and what’s been shown to work? What does the evidence say?

Managing HIV in an Aging Population

Fri, 23 Aug 2024 14:00:18 GMT

Widespread use of highly effective ART has increased the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) to close to that of the general population. But despite highly effective viral suppression, the risks for cardiovascular diseases continue to increase in these individuals. So too do the risks of neurocognitive impairment.

Clinical Management Considerations in Mild Asthma

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 13:00:55 GMT

Mild asthma. For patients showing wheezing and shortness of breath on moderate exertion, it’s one of the most common diagnoses, even when breath sounds are clear and pulmonary function testing is normal.

What makes mild asthma “mild”? The key guidelines base the stage of a patient’s asthma on how difficult it is to treat. Does that mean the frequency of symptom occurrence? How often a rescue inhaler needs to be used? The frequency and severity of pulmonary exacerbations?

How should mild asthma be treated? What are the risks and benefits of short-acting beta agonists versus long-acting beta agonists versus inhaled corticosteroids? Which combinations might be appropriate for which patients?

Join us in this issue of ePulmonology Review, as Dr. Fawzy from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine’s Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care discusses these and other issues important to providing the best care for patients with mild asthma.

Using the New Biomarkers in Clinical Practice

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 17:20:23 GMT

NfL — neurofilament light, from the blood, not the CSF. Is it a reliable indicator of MS activity, a predictor of relapse-related disability, and a monitor of treatment efficacy? OCT — optical coherence tomography. Fast, safe, reliable, and repeatable, it can reveal the cellular layers inside the retina. But how well does what OCT shows correlate with outcomes of importance in MS? And most important, how can these new biomarkers help clinicians care for their patients with MS now?

Hepatitis C has become “curable” for >90% of those infected. But while universal HCV elimination is medically possible, this goal is compromised by certain populations who remain underscreened, undertreated, and underserved and continue to spread the virus. One such population is people who inject drugs (PWID).

In this issue, Dr. Brianna Norton and Dr. Matthew Akiyama from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine analyze the most important data to explain how substance use impacts adherence and the risk of HCV reinfection.
