Clinician's Roundtable

Georgia has the highest rate of new HIV diagnoses out of any state in the country, and so it’s imperative that we make this medication more accessible now in order to save future generations from living with HIV. To dive further into the benefits and challenges of this program, Dr. Mary Katherine Cheeley is joined by Dr. Dylan Baker, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Emory University and the Associate Medical Director of the Grady PrEP Clinic.

Research has shown that those living with HIV are more likely to be malnourished and experience nutrient deficiencies that play an essential role in their immunity. In the early days of HIV, a typical recommendation was to increase a patient’s calorie count. To discuss how the focus on nutrition has changed now that this patient population is living much longer, Dr. Charles Turck is joined by Dr. Sorana Segal-Maurer, Director of Infectious Diseases at New York-Presbyterian Queens and Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City.

For most patients living with HIV, antiretroviral therapy is extremely effective. However, HIV mutates with frequency, allowing it to become resistant to antiviral medication. To discuss how we can effectively treat these patients, Dr. Charles Turck is joined by Dr. Sorana Segal-Maurer, Director of Infectious Diseases at New York-Presbyterian Queens and Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City.

Although the rate of new HIV diagnoses in the United States is steadily declining, people in prisons are still disproportionately living with the virus, which is why researchers at Temple University are now developing an app aimed at improving HIV prevention and substance use treatment access for incarcerated women in Philadelphia. To learn more about this research, Dr. Mary Katherine Cheeley is joined by Dr. Sarah Bauerle Bass, Associate Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Director of Risk Communication Laboratory at Temple University.

Scientists at Temple University’s Lewis Katz School of Medicine have identified a novel gene-editing strategy aimed at eliminating HIV-1 infection with no adverse effects on cell mortality. Find out how this recent discovery could get us one step closer to a cure for HIV with Dr. Charles Turck and Dr. Kamel Khalili, the Laura H. Carnell Professor in the Department of Neuroscience and Chair of the Department of Microbiology, Immunology & Inflammation.

Diabetic patients have a significant risk for developing more advanced liver disease, and the disease that they’re particularly at risk for is steatotic liver disease. Dive into this episode to learn more with Dr. Charles Turck and Dr. Sujit Janardhan, Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition, and the Department of Transplant Surgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

The largest study to date on 4F-PCC was conducted as an FDA postmarketing requirement in partnership between Kaiser Permanente and CSL Behring. The purpose of this long-term study was to compare the 45-day risk of thromboembolic events and all-cause mortality in adults with warfarin-associated major bleeding after treatment with KCENTRA^®, Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (Human), or plasma. Take a deep dive into the data with Dr. Jennifer Caudle as she speaks with Dr. Michelle Kincaid, Trauma Surgeon and Director of Surgical Critical Care at Ohio Health Grant Medical Center in Columbus.

How do the guidelines recommend keeping our patients safe during the flu season? Dr. Paul Doghramji takes a look at these recommendations—and how clinicians can counsel their patients on them—with Dr. Marci Drees, the Chief Infection Prevention Officer and Hospital Epidemiologist at ChristianaCare in Wilmington, Delaware.

Influenza can increase the risk of hospitalization and disease severity, specifically for high-risk patients. Fortunately, the influenza vaccine can help combat this. Join Dr. Natalia Castillo Almeida, an Assistant Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Nebraska School of Medicine, as she shares key data on hospitalization rates and recommendations for vaccination.

Illinois lawmakers are taking steps to end intrusive mental health questionnaires for physician licensures. To learn more about Illinois House Bill 3109 and how you can get involved, join Dr. Michael Greenberg as he sits down with Dr. Bill Hauter, Illinois State Representative and Anesthesiologist.
