What’s the evidence supporting the existence of an MS prodromal phase — where the biology of the disease has begun but the symptoms typical of MS have not yet appeared? Are there biomarkers to help identify it? Imaging abnormalities? And how can diagnosing a prodrome benefit patients?Join us as we discuss these questions with Dr. Naila Makhani from Yale School of Medicine, in this video podcast issue of eMultipleSclerosis Review.Take our post-test to claim CME credits.Read this podcast's companion newsletter here.

Clinicians prescribing the increasingly higher efficacy B-cell depletion or S1P modulators therapies — how aware are they of the newer concerns about safety?

What do the data say?Join us, as Dr. Le Hua and Dr. Areeba Siddiqui from the Cleveland Clinic’s Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health explore these questions in this issue of eMultipleSclerosis Review.Take our post-test to claim CME credits.Read this podcast's companion newsletter here.

Why do cisgender and transgender women, and particularly women of color, account for such a disproportionate percentage of HIV infections in the US? Why are so many so reluctant to accept PrEP?

Too many individuals with MS are not receiving access to the most effective care. Why? What’s behind these disparities? And what can individual clinicians do to help remove the barriers that prevent equitable care for all patients?Join us, as Dr. Dorlan Kimbrough, from the division of Neurology, Multiple Sclerosis, and Neuroimmunology at the Duke University School of Medicine, discusses these topics, in this issue of eMultipleSclerosis Review. Take our post-test to claim CME credits.Read this podcast's companion newsletter here.

Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Rilpivirine, in combination with cabotegravir, provides a long-acting injectable option for both treatment and PrEP. But what risk factors have been associated with virologic failure? Doravirine appears to provide a favorable impact on weight and lipid outcomes, but with a lower genetic barrier to resistance. Which patients is it right for and in which ones should it be avoided?Join us as we discuss Newer NNRTI Agents in Clinical Practice with Dr. Darcy Wooten from the Division of Infectious Disease at the University of California, San Diego, in this issue of eHIV Review.Take our post-test to claim CME credits.To read a companion newsletter click here.
