Activity Summary:
Patients with plexiform neurofibromas (PN) associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) experience considerable morbidity, a poor quality of life, and increased mortality. Research efforts have led to earlier diagnosis, new monitoring approaches, emerging treatment options, and considerations for surgical intervention. To this end, it is critical that pediatric oncologists as well as other members of the multidisciplinary team neurologists caring for patients with NF1-PN are up to date on recent advances. In this podcast lecture library, Dr. Armstrong uses a case-based discussion to address the heterogeneity and complexity of this condition as well as considerations for the use of emerging therapies when making individualized management decisions among diverse patients.

Activity Summary:
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) remains a significant clinical challenge, particularly in complex cases like PAH-related right heart failure (RHF) and PAH in pregnancy, both of which are associated with high morbidity and mortality. This educational slide kit is designed to address these unmet needs by exploring two complex case studies: a PAH patient with RHF necessitating hospitalization, and a pregnant patient with PAH. These cases provide a platform for discussing the complexities involved in selecting initial treatment regimens, recognizing signs of disease progression, and making timely adjustments to treatment plans.

This lecture library aims to enhance clinicians' understanding of routine follow-up measures to prevent clinical deterioration and to familiarize them with emerging evidence that can inform management strategies. It also delves into specific protocols for managing pregnant patients with PAH, a particularly high-risk group, ensuring that healthcare providers are equipped to navigate these challenging scenarios with confidence. By addressing these diverse learning objectives, this slide kit seeks to improve outcomes in patients facing the most severe manifestations of PAH.

Activity Summary:
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) poses significant clinical challenges due to its complex nature and the risk of rapid disease progression. This educational slide kit addresses some of these complex challenges by focusing on two key patient scenarios: a newly diagnosed PAH patient and a high-risk patient with inadequate response to current treatments. These cases emphasize the importance of selecting the appropriate initial treatment regimens and highlights the routine follow-up measures necessary to prevent clinical deterioration.

The slide kit aims to equip clinicians with the skills to recognize parameters associated with disease progression and to make informed decisions about treatment modifications for high-risk patients. By exploring evidence-based strategies and various treatment options, this educational initiative seeks to enhance clinicians' abilities to manage PAH effectively, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Activity Summary:
Pulmonary hypertension among patients with interstitial lung diseases (PH-ILD) is currently under-recognized and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden. Individualized treatment approaches need to be incorporated in the continuum of care to improve early detection, accurate diagnosis, and improved patient outcomes. In this podcast series, Drs. Jean Elwing, Steven Nathan, and Ioana Preston inform and guide on recent insights to screen for, detect, and accurately diagnose PH-ILD. This on-demand audio presentation uses didactic, case-based, and conversational formats to provide practical guidance and increase familiarity with the latest best-practice approaches for treatment and management of PH-ILD, to ultimately improve the quality of life of patients.

Activity Summary:
Despite dramatic advances in the development of treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), it remains a chronic life-threatening illness for which there is no cure. Advances in knowledge within the field are eagerly anticipated.

These educational podcasts will spotlight important research into the basic science, diagnosis, treatment, and medical management of patients with PAH based on data presented at the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) Annual Meeting in Boston, MA October 6-9, 2024.
