Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Basil M. Kahwash, MD Patients with asthma who have experienced challenges with exercise may find that they are hesitant to exercise again in the future, or they may think it’s not safe to pursue. However, artificial intelligence (AI) may be a useful tool in promoting exercise in asthma patients due to its ability to generate a personalized approach for the patient with a quick turnaround. Explore the benefits between AI and exercise in asthma patients with Dr. Basil Kahwash, Assistant Professor of Medicine on the Clinical Educator Track in the Department of Medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He also spoke about this topic at the 2023 Annual ANAC conference in his session, titled “Managing Co-Occurring Conditions: A Clinical Update.”

Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Manpreet Mundi, MD Enteral nutrition intolerance is quite prevalent as it can be seen in up to 40 percent of patients who are tube fed.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Ananta Paine, PhD The diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis has not been easy due to the lack of knowledge about an established biomarker. To learn more, join Dr. Charles Turck as he speaks with Dr. Ananta Piane, Principal Investigator and Research Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, New York, to discuss his 500-patient cohort study to find out if there are underlying differences of psoriasis patients who did not convert to psoriatic arthritis with those who did.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Emerging data over the years has shown the role of GLP-1 receptor agonists, not only in terms of their initial role in managing diabetes and blood sugar but also the secondary benefit of sometimes massive amounts of weight loss. However, there hasn’t been a tremendous number of studies looking at the use of these agents in patients with HIV. Join Dr. Charles Turck as he dives into the data further with Dr. Darcy Wooten, Clinical Professor of Medicine and a Program Director for the University of California San Diego ID Fellowship Training Program in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Global Public Health.

Host: Andrew Wilner, MD, FACP, FAAN Guest: Neil Skolnik, MD The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) recently updated some of the recommendations for treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
