• 9 out of 10 adults with CKD are unaware of it. • People with CKD have the same risk for cardiovascular (CV) death as people with known atherosclerotic heart disease. • The risk for CV events and death increases with worsening albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). • Patients with risk factors for CKD (hypertension, diabetes, family history of CKD, or advancing age) should be screened by measuring both eGFR and urinary albuminto-creatinine ratio. • Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are first-line agents for treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and CKD or a history of atherosclerotic CV disease. • Dapagliflozin has demonstrated equivalent efficacy for reducing kidney events in patients with CKD irrespective of diabetes status, and a similar, ongoing trial with empagliflozin may provide potential confirmation.
• Discontinuing statin therapy results in increased cardiovascular risk. • The nocebo effect is a common reason for perceived statin intolerance. • Statin intolerance is much less commonly reported in clinical trials than in clinical practice, suggesting that patient education and other safeguards employed in clinical trials are important to include in clinical practice. • Several strategies are available that can enable continuation of statin therapy in patients who are truly statin-intolerant.

• Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that progresses through 3 distinct stages. • T1D can be diagnosed at any age, with a peak incidence at 10-14 years of age. • The incidence of T1D in the United States is rising. • Screening for T1D autoantibodies has positive clinical consequences, including reduction of diabetic ketoacidosis events, improved glycemic control, and positive impact on short- and long-term complications. • Primary care clinicians can play a critical role in promoting islet autoantibody screening.

However, questions remain regarding the benefit-risk relationship in certain settings since long-term use of ASA is not devoid of risk. Incontrovertible evidence supports the benefits of ASA treatment, which exceed the risks, in patients who have had a previous CV event (myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina, or transient ischemic attack). Nonetheless, the question remains for those patients who have not had a previous event (primary prevention), where the risk of CV events is lower and, consequently, the absolute benefit is also lower than in patients who have a history of a CV event or its equivalent (secondary prevention). Recent evidence from large-scale clinical trials shows that administration of low-dose ASA is associated with a reduced risk of CV events with a corresponding small absolute increase in the risk of major bleeding (eg, gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhagic stroke). Although the benefit and the risk of low-dose ASA in primary prevention are numerically similar, the clinical consequences of an increased risk of bleeding and a decreased risk of a CV event may not be equivalent. If these data are applied to patients with higher levels of CV outcome risk, more patients may potentially benefit from aspirin use in primary prevention.
At the end of the activity, participants will be able to • Recognize obesity as a chronic, relapsing, serious disease warranting long-term management and early intervention to minimize disease burden and decrease associated morbidity and mortality. • Destigmatize obesity to initiate and enhance patient engagement. • Apply guideline-recommended care for screening, diagnosis, and individualized treatment of adults and others with obesity. • Incorporate practical practice management strategies.

• Collaborate with patients to inform treatment decision-making that addresses their symptoms, goals, and concerns • Individualize guideline-recommended therapy to reduce chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations, improve lung function, manage daily symptoms such as breathlessness, and help achieve the patient's goals • Select an inhaler and an optimal dose of medication to best meet a patient's needs and capabilities.

• The 2020 Focused Updates to the Asthma Management Guidelines A Report from the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Coordinating Committee Expert Panel Working Group provides updated recommendations for 6 topics related to the management of individuals with asthma. • The classification of asthma severity and asthma control, as well as the concept of utilizing a stepwise approach to pharmacologic treatment, were not updated from the Expert Panel Report 3, released in 2007. • However, important updates in preferred therapies for intermittent and persistent asthma at treatment steps 1 through 5 were suggested. • Recommendations regarding biologic therapy were not included in the 2020 update, as only evidence and US Food and Drug Administration approvals through October 2018 were considered. • The most recent 2021 Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines are not included in this review but can be used in a complementary manner to assist primary care clinicians to optimize decisions regarding the cadecisions regarding the care of patients with asthma.
At the end of the activity, participants will be able to • Characterize the burden of herpes zoster infections. • Recommend the recombinant zoster vaccine to patients in accordance with guidance from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. • Implement strategies to increase patient acceptance of herpes zoster and other vaccinations. • Use available resources to increase awareness among patients about the importance and safety of recommended vaccinations.

The researchers conducted a case-control study on women patients referred to Dental School. The researchers collected 5 ml of peripheral venous blood from women for the laboratory process after performing periodontal examination. Participants were 124 women aged 25-50 years (62 cases and 62 control). The difference in serum levels of ALT and the difference in serum levels of AST between the two groups were not statistically significant. However, there was a significant correlation between liver enzymes and periodontitis parameters.
