Listening First: Shared Decisions That Build Trust in Pediatric Obesity Care is a CME activity designed to support pediatricians in delivering effective, evidence-based care to children and adolescents with obesity. Despite the growing prevalence and risks of pediatric obesity, many clinicians face barriers such as limited training, low confidence, and discomfort initiating sensitive conversations.

This activity provides practical guidance on guideline-recommended screening, culturally and developmentally appropriate communication strategies, and the development of individualized treatment plans. With a focus on shared decision-making and building trust with families, participants will gain the tools needed to improve patient engagement and outcomes in pediatric obesity care.

The integration into practice of sustained delivery devices and therapies that offer longer duration of action have further revolutionized the management of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). However, selecting patients who will optimally benefit from these newer therapies can be challenging. Biomarkers of vascular instability are emerging, which could help guide treatment decisions and provide useful tools for monitoring disease control. This CE activity utilizes Curbside Consults, a dynamic and interactive case-based platform that will highlight these therapeutic strategies for the management of DME that reduce dosing frequency and enhance anatomic outcomes. Experts in the field also review the role of novel biomarkers to guide early clinical decision-making and evaluate treatment options for patients with DME based on the latest clinical evidence.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) rarely travels alone. Most patients carry overlapping cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic (CKM) risk, and this convergence is now central to how T2D should be managed, not a comorbidity footnote. Despite clear guideline recommendations, GLP-1 RAs and dual GIP/GLP-1 RAs with proven cardiovascular and renal benefit remain underused among patients who stand to gain the most. Patient complexity, an expanding evidence base for outcomes, and persistent clinical inertia all contribute to this gap.

Endocrinologists, endocrinology NPs and PAs, and the broader care team are positioned to close it. This training program, modeled on the CDC Training of Trainers approach, equips endocrinology-led teams to build CKM risk into everyday T2D decision-making: selecting and sequencing GLP-1-based therapies according to a patient’s cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic profile, not glycemic control alone. The content also addresses related benefits emerging in this drug class, including MASH and OSA, within the broader CKM framework.Designed to update clinicians on data presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists 43rd Annual Meeting held in Long Beach, CA, from July 30 to August 2, 2025

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.

Bronchiectasis is a complex and increasingly prevalent condition often overlooked in clinical practice, with frequent overlap with other respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma. Persistent airway inflammation, chronic infection, and mucociliary dysfunction drive disease progression, leading to significant morbidity and healthcare burden. As the clinical burden of bronchiectasis becomes increasingly recognized, there is an urgent need to better understand the underlying mechanisms of neutrophilic inflammation, alongside efforts to improve early diagnosis and explore current and emerging treatment options that target this vicious cycle.

In this activity, a panel of leading pulmonologists tackle the evolving challenges and emerging opportunities in bronchiectasis management. From diagnostic workup to airway clearance and exacerbation control, the discussion will blend expert insight with real-world clinical scenarios and patient perspectives.

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.

Despite major therapeutic advances, diabetic macular edema (DME) remains a leading cause of vision loss in adults with diabetes, with delayed diagnosis, treatment burden, and suboptimal responses continuing to challenge real-world outcomes. Although intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy is the established first-line standard of care, many patients experience persistent or refractory DME, and long-term visual gains in routine practice often fall short of results seen in clinical trials due to undertreatment and adherence challenges. Early identification of inadequate treatment response and timely therapy modification are critical, as untreated or insufficiently treated DME can result in significant, irreversible vision loss. Emerging evidence supports the use of newer anti-VEGF agents with extended dosing intervals, as well as the early integration of corticosteroid implants for patients with suboptimal responses. Corticosteroid therapies offer broad anti-inflammatory benefits and have demonstrated meaningful visual and anatomical improvements, particularly when introduced earlier in the disease course. In this CE Snips activity, expert faculty assess how to recognize when patients with DME demonstrate insufficient response to anti-VEGF therapy and when to integrate corticosteroid therapy based on current clinical evidence and real-world data.

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.
