Host: Valeria Caso, MD, PhD Guest: Ashkan Shoamanesh, MD How can you improve long-term secondary stroke prevention in patients with a history of noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)? An understanding of how to apply emerging clinical trial data is critical, as is the evaluation of potential alternative agents that could expand the therapeutic options for these patients. In this activity, our expert faculty will add to your knowledge by reviewing the coagulation cascade and the relevance of inhibiting factors XI and XIa in stroke management.

Host: Robert Shin, MD, FANA, FAAN Guest: Enrique Alvarez, MD, PhD Guest: Jiwon Oh, MD, PhD, FRCPC The field of multiple sclerosis (MS) is evolving at a rapid pace from disease modifying therapies (DMTs) to diagnostic/monitoring tools to fundamental principles that shape how clinicians think about the disease. Though such advancements are welcome, they continue to raise new questions about how to optimize management for individual patients. In this program, real clinicians who treat MS pose their most pressing clinical questions to an expert panel. These specialists then provide their best answers through literature and their own clinical experience.

Host: Omer Abdul Hamid, MD Guest: Nancy Kuntz, MD Guest: Migvis Monduy, MD There are many unmet needs associated with the use of anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids when treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or DMD. These include multiple, often debilitating comorbidities that occur with long-term exposure. Join Drs. Hamid, Kuntz, and Monduy as they discuss key clinical trial data for a novel corticosteroid that may be a safer and possibly more effective option for patients with DMD than our current standard of care.

Host: Stephen Krieger, MD Guest: Tirisham Gyang, MD Guest: Augusto Miravalle, MD, FAAN New strategies for early intervention in multiple sclerosis (MS) are focusing on progression independent of relapse. These strategies include incorporation of high-efficacy disease modifying therapies in the early stages of MS coupled with effective management of treatment-related adverse events. Join Drs. Stephen Kreiger, Tirisham Gyang, and Augusto Miravalle for a lively, case-based exchange that will provide key ideas to take back into the clinic.

Host: Heidi M. Munger Clary, MD, MPH Guest: Jay Salpekar, MD, FANPA A crucial aspect of epilepsy care that often goes underappreciated is the intersection of epilepsy and depression. Join Drs. Munger Clary and Salpekar, leading experts in the field, as they raise awareness about the high prevalence of comorbid mental health disorders, particularly depression, among epilepsy patients. Together, they explore the bidirectional relationship between epilepsy and depression, emphasizing the importance of early detection and comprehensive treatment. They’ll also cover implantable therapies, specifically vagal nerve stimulation devices, as potential tools to manage both epilepsy and depression.
