Please join United Therapeutics and the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) for an Industry Hosted Webinar at noon CT on Tuesday, October 31. This presentation will provide an overview of pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). In this webinar, our speakers will define PH-ILD, discuss how ILD progresses to PH-ILD, and review symptoms of PH-ILD that patients may experience. We invite patients, caregivers, and family members to join the webinar. https://lnkd.in/gRNkai6x

🔥 IO based treatments are the first choice for patients with advanced HCC without active auto-immune disease and without liver transplant. What would you do in case of progression under IO based treatment for a patient with advanced HCC? Check out the interactive patient case video from Dr Timon Vandamme & follow a patient's journey through HCC & make treatment selection and sequencing decisions. Gain an understanding in the systemic treatment options for patients with advanced and intermediate HCC and know the right time to switch to 2nd line therapy.

How can we improve quality of life for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) while reducing hospitalizations and preventing relapse? In this brief program, Dr. Bruce Sands delves into the diagnosis, management, and monitoring of inflammatory bowel disease. He discusses the multifaceted goals of therapy in IBD, along with treatment targets for both Chron's disease and ulcerative colitis. Plus, he analyzes data on the utilization of both a treat-to-target approach and therapeutic drug monitoring for IBD management. Tune in to hear strategies for evidence-based treatment and discover advances in care. Stay up to date on IBD management: https://bit.ly/3T37ggA

1,500 coughs a day - imagine that! I had around 1,000 coughs a day (measured on my smartphone using Hyfe’s wellness app ‘CoughPro’) during a bout of bronchitis early this year, and it was, to put it lightly, horrible - a major impact on my quality of life, and it also interrupted my sleep. Some chronic coughers (with RCC, IPF, and other clinical indications) live with these cough numbers every day for many years. Finally, for the first time in over 60 years since FDA approved an antitussive, there are promising new therapies being developed and cutting-edge innovations in cough monitoring. These advancements help in understanding cough patterns, the nature of coughing (bouts, cough variability, etc), and detecting exacerbations and deterioration early via continuous passive monitoring. Lastly, a digital therapy (DTx) for refractory chronic cough is being developed, based on behavioral cough suppression techniques (practiced by SLPs and respiratory therapists) and individualized cough frequency dynamics. People around the world can already try some novel wellness cough suppression education materials on Hyfe’s ‘CoughPro’ smartphone application - check it out! #Cough #RCC #IPF #CoughMonitoring #Biomarker #AI #DigitalHealth #DTx

Cosmo's ability to quickly reveal unexpected correlations is powerful. In Epic's most recent research article, they discovered that type 2 diabetic patients prescribed metformin had reduced diagnosis rates for Alzheimers (-17%), cancer (-22%) and cardiovascular disease (-39%). Questions to ponder: -How do you think Cosmos will impact evidence-based medicine? -How do you see it expediting or driving research? -How do we churn through and prioritize the massive number of correlations to determine causation, then funnel those conclusions into updated standards of care?

Hello Connections! I am going to share about my article on Stomatitis Stomatitis is inflammation of the mouth. It affects the mucous membranes, which are the thin skin coverings on the inside surface of the mouth. Treatment can depend on the cause, but may include topical medications. Stomatitis is a type of mucositis, a condition defined as pain or inflammation of the mucous membrane. Mucositis is a relatively common side effect of chemotherapy and sometimes radiotherapy. It can affect the inside of the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat. Stomatitis that reoccurs and includes mouth ulcers is called recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) and is the most common disease affecting the mouth area, with around 5-25 percent of the United States population affected in some way. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

🩸 MDS is usually diagnosed when a patient is evaluated for low blood counts, although some MDS patients may show an elevated white blood cell count, platelet count, or both. The defining feature of MDS is a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy showing heavy infiltration with abnormal-looking bone marrow cells. MDS should be considered in any patient with unexplained cytopenias (low blood counts) or clinical findings related to anemia (insufficient amount of healthy red blood cells), infection or bleeding/bruising, morphologic dysplasia of blood or bone marrow, or unexplained bone marrow failure. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dh_f9Zmv #ThinkMDS #OrderaBloodCount #ThisIsBloodCancer
