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

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.

This brief accredited CME activity uses a quiz-based microlearning platform to present a patient case scenario and related questions, allowing clinicians to quickly test their knowledge of the essential components of evaluating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver and selecting an appropriate treatment strategy. They can then compare their responses with those of their peers. Rationale for correct answers and key educational takeaways are provided via video clips from expert faculty.

Using a quiz-based format, this accredited CME activity offers a brief, interactive microlearning experience centered around a clinical case scenario, enabling clinicians to quickly test their understanding of weight-related eligibility criteria for kidney transplantation, compare their answers with peer responses, and gain expert insights through video commentary. Faculty explore how obesity affects transplant candidacy, evaluation strategies, and potential interventions to optimize patients for transplant, as well as provide key takeaways to support informed, patient-centered clinical decisions.

In this brief 15-minute activity, you will:

– Choose optimal management approaches by answering nongraded questions within the activity (answers are collected for informational purposes only and used to assess the effectiveness of this educational activity)
– See how your answers compare with those of your peers
– View video clips providing expert insights

In this 15-minute activity, meet 2 patients with arm pain, one of whom also presents with neck pain. How would you manage these patients? This accredited activity uses an interactive, quiz-driven microlearning format to explore clinical case scenarios with targeted questions, allowing clinicians to quickly assess their knowledge. Clinicians can compare their responses with those of their peers and receive expert guidance through video commentary.

This accredited activity reviews advancements in lung transplant surgery, with a focus on robotic lung transplant and ex vivo lung perfusion.

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.

Recent advancements in refractive surgery techniques and technologies continue to evolve, offering expanded options for managing patients with refractive errors. Lens-based refractive surgery presents an alternative to traditional laser-based approaches, providing a broader range of correctable refractive errors and enabling personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. In this CE monograph, experts will explore the current role of lens-based refractive surgery for myopia correction, compare it with traditional laser-based refractive procedures, and share valuable clinical insights on selecting the most suitable patients for lens-based versus laser-based refractive surgery in the context of myopia treatment.
