Osteoporosis in aging men is a growing public health problem yet remains under-recognized in primary and specialty care. Population-based cohorts show that adults aged ≥80 years now account for most hip fractures, and in this age group men experience higher perioperative morbidity and mortality than women at comparable ages. Contemporary US trend analyses confirm a high and in some groups increasing prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass among adults ≥50 years, with substantial burden among older men. Health-economic models and actuarial reports estimate more than two million osteoporotic fractures annually in the United States, costing about $17 billion in 2005 and rising to an estimated $57 billion over the past two decades, with further growth expected by 2040; men already account for more than one-quarter of this burden. Prospective outcomes work from the ICUROS US study and Medicare claims analyses underscores prolonged quality-of-life loss and markedly higher all-cause costs after fragility fractures, especially hip and vertebral fractures in older adults, including men.

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (nRDS) remains a leading cause of respiratory failure and morbidity among preterm infants worldwide, despite major advances in antenatal steroids, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and surfactant therapy. Contemporary guidelines emphasize early noninvasive respiratory support from birth, selective surfactant rescue once CPAP begins to fail, and structured, protocolized care across gestational age strata. Yet practice-pattern studies across high- and middle-income settings show wide variation in initial respiratory support, surfactant thresholds, and use of minimally invasive techniques, with extremely preterm and late preterm infants often receiving care that diverges from guideline-concordant pathways. These inconsistencies increase cumulative ventilator exposure and risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and other complications, underscoring a persistent implementation gap between best evidence and routine NICU care.

This 30-minute Symposium from the 2025 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference for PAs and NPs explores how to personalize psoriasis management and improve treatment selection based on patient specific history.

“With biologics we have gotten more specific. Before we had this big sweeping sword and now we have these precise, tiny knives. That is where we are at with going from previous agents to IL-23 and IL-17 blockers.” – Dr. Harrison Nguyen.

Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:

• Implement routine OSA screening for patients with obesity and other OSA risk factors.
• Identify tools that can aid in screening patients for OSA.
• Initiate diagnostic workups for patients with suspected OSA.
• Evaluate results from OSA diagnostic studies.
• Implement multidisciplinary approaches to formulate tailored management strategies for OSA that account for patient preferences and new therapeutic options.

This CME activity discusses the diagnosis and treatment of ATTR-CM and highlights key updates on ATTR-CM treatment presented at the HFSA Annual Scientific Meeting 2025 and AHA Scientific Sessions 2025.

Primary care clinicians and endocrinologists play a critical role in identifying and managing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) before it progresses. Results from a Med-IQ survey, however, revealed that approximately half of the respondents screen only 50% or fewer of their patients with obesity or type 2 diabetes. Patients with these conditions or other risk factors, such as metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, or elevated liver enzymes, should be screened using noninvasive tools like FIB-4, transient elastography (FibroScan), ELF, or VCTE.

Although lifestyle modification remains the cornerstone of treatment, pharmacologic options such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, pioglitazone, and resmetirom may be appropriate based on individual risk profiles. Most patients can be effectively managed in primary care or endocrinology settings, with hepatology referral recommended for patients with a high risk of advanced fibrosis.

Asthma remains a highly prevalent chronic respiratory disease, affecting more than 26 million people in the United States, including over 4.5 million children, with several thousand deaths and substantial emergency department and inpatient utilization each year despite effective preventives. Persistent symptoms, recurrent exacerbations, and preventable hospitalizations indicate gaps in risk stratification and in the consistent application of guideline-based care, even with comprehensive frameworks such as the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) strategy. Many severe attacks still occur, requiring parenteral bronchodilators, systemic corticosteroids, magnesium sulfate, oxygen, and respiratory-support devices, underscoring missed opportunities to optimize maintenance regimens and device use upstream.
