Comprehensive Online CME: Expert Advice and Guidance

This online CME course is designed to help non-neurologists stay abreast of the vast field of clinical neurology, better diagnose and manage their patients, and make appropriate referrals. The 60+ lectures in Neurology for Non-Neurologists cover both common and uncommon neurological disorders.

Speakers — chosen for their clinical expertise and experience educating non-neurologists — cover all areas of clinical neurology in practical, focused 30-minute continuing medical education lectures. You’ll benefit from their expert advice, clinical guidance, and valuable take-home points, including:

• Numbness and Spells. The key to assessing spells is to determine whether the spells are fast (seconds), suggesting seizures, or TIA or slow (minutes), which suggest migraine.
• Gait Disorders. Testing gait is a very sensitive but not specific test of neurologic function.
• Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders. The diagnostic criteria for essential tremor have been updated to include bilateral action tremor of the upper limbs of at least 3 years’ duration, with or without head, voice, or leg tremor.
• Neuropathy: What You Should Know. Peripheral neuropathy is not one disease. Your first step in patient work up of a patient with suspected neuropathy is to characterize its phenotype so you can better tailor your management.
• and many more…

Activity Description / Statement of Need:
In this online, self-learning activity:

Transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive, multisystem, life-threatening disorder characterized by the extracellular deposition of misfolded, insoluble amyloid fibrils. The role of the TTR protein is to transport thyroxine and retinol-binding proteins, and it is vital for cognition, nerve regeneration, and axonal growth. TTR itself is innately amyloidogenic even without the presence of genetic mutations, which may account for wild-type ATTR (wtATTR), while a hereditary form of ATTR (hATTR) may be passed to offspring through autosomal dominant inheritance. Left untreated, the average life expectancy of ATTR is 3 to 15 years from symptom onset.

Target Audience:
The following HCPs: neurologists, cardiologists, and hematologists; physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists in the aforementioned areas of specialty; and any other HCPs with an interest in or who may clinically encounter patients with ATTR.
