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.

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.

Early identification of atypical motor patterns is crucial for timely intervention and optimizing developmental outcomes in infants. A simple yet effective method for assessing these patterns involves observing the baby during a 30-second, 4-position exam. This examination includes careful observation of the infant in the following positions:

* Supine: Note posture, spontaneous movements, and interaction with the environment.

* Horizontal Suspension: Observe head control, trunk extension, and limb movements against gravity.

* Pull to Sit: Assess head lag, trunk activation, and ability to assist with the movement.

* Prone: Evaluate head lifting, weight-bearing through the arms, and early mobility attempts. Gain valuable insights and download resources through this complimentary CME/CE course

“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.

Empowering the Care Team: Practical Strategies for Implementing BCMA Therapies in Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Through interactive cases and expert-led discussions, our ECHO® sessions and Community of Practice calls help community oncology teams:

• Characterize the safety and efficacy of BCMA-directed bsAbs for the treatment of MM
• Appropriately incorporate BCMA-directed bsAbs into cases of patients with MM that are representative of clinical practice
• Establish and follow workflows and lines of communication for monitoring and managing BCMA bsAb treatment-related adverse events
• Summarize the importance and benefits of CoPs to providing coordinated, multidisciplinary, and interprofessional care for patients with MM receiving BCMA-directed bsAbs
