Host: Jacob Sands, MD Guest: Aaron Lisberg, MD Unfortunately, brain metastases are very common in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). That’s why the phase 3 TROPION-Lung01 trial examined the efficacy and safety of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) for advanced non-squamous NSCLC with brain metastases. Joining Dr. Jacob Sands to share the results presented at the 2024 ESMO Congress is thoracic medical oncologist Dr. Aaron Lisberg.

Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Lori Guyton, MD Guest: Douglas Scharre, MD As our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease continues to evolve, it’s critical to understand the clinical and pathologic changes underpinning Alzheimer’s disease as it may be able to help guide early diagnosis and clinically meaningful management decisions. That’s why Drs. Douglas Scharre and Lori Guyton speak with Dr. Jennifer Caudle about Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiology and how it translates to clinical practice. Dr. Scharre is a Professor of Clinical Neurology and Psychiatry as well as the Director for the Division of Cognitive Neurology at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, and Dr. Guyton is a practicing neurologist with Neurology of Southern Illinois in Herrin.

Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Lori Guyton, MD Guest: Douglas Scharre, MD Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease is growing, and these advances can help inform diagnosis and management strategies. In fact, as our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease evolves, our strategies to diagnose and manage the disease are changing to focus on early diagnosis and intervention. Joining Dr. Jennifer Caudle to discuss our current understanding of disease progression as well as the impact and benefit of diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease early are Drs. Douglas Scharre and Lori Guyton. Dr. Scharre is the Director of the Division of Cognitive Neurology at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, and Dr. Guyton is a practicing neurologist with Neurology of Southern Illinois in Herrin.

Host: Peter Buch, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP Guest: Douglas Drossman, MD While neuromodulators are primarily used to treat psychiatric disorders, they can also help normalize symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome by targeting the gut-brain axis. In fact, about half of all patients with IBS have the potential to benefit from neuromodulators. Dr. Douglass Drossman joins Dr. Peter Buch to discuss his research on how various neuromodulators can provide relief for IBS patients. Dr. Drossman is the President of the Drossman Center of Education and Practice of Psychosocial Care and Drossman Consulting as well as a Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine.

Guest: Kelly Gwathmey, MD ALS can take up to a year to diagnose, but researchers are hard at work trying to find ways to minimize diagnostic delays and errors. One such solution is the Rapid Access ALS Clinic, where patients were diagnosed an average of two months sooner. Here to talk about this work is Dr. Kelly Gwathmey, Professor of Neurology at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine who presented a session on this topic at the 2024 American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Annual Meeting.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Stacy Finkbeiner, PhD Guest: Bill Cote To gain insights into how tardive dyskinesia (TD) can impact the physical, psychological, social, and professional lives of patients, the IMPACT-TD Registry incorporated feedback from patients and caregivers to create an effective questionnaire. These patient-reported measures are key to the overall management of TD as they enable us to better understand how TD affects each individual. To learn more about the patient-reported outcomes from the IMPACT-TD Registry, Dr. Charles Turck speaks with Dr. Stacy Finkbeiner and Mr. Bill Cote. Dr. Finkbeiner is US Medical Director at Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Mr. Cote is the Senior Director of the National Organization for Tardive Dyskinesia.

Host: Ashley Baker, MSN, PMHNP Guest: Stacy Finkbeiner, PhD The IMPACT-TD Registry is an ongoing, real-world observational study that aims to better understand the multidimensional impacts of tardive dyskinesia (TD) on patients’ lives. To achieve this goal, the IMPACT-TD Scale was developed and used by clinicians involved with the study, and now the results from the interim analysis are available. Joining psychiatric nurse practitioner Ashley Baker to share the key findings on TD’s impact from the clinician perspective is Dr. Stacy Finkbeiner, U.S. Medical Director at Teva Pharmaceuticals.

Host: Ashley Baker, MSN, PMHNP Guest: Richard Jackson, MD The IMPACT-TD scale enables us to evaluate the effects of tardive dyskinesia across four key domains: psychological/psychiatric, social, physical, and vocational/educational/recreational. By using this assessment tool, we can not only gain a deeper understanding of how our patients are impacted by tardive dyskinesia, but it can also foster better communication and treatment outcomes. To learn more, psychiatric nurse practitioner Ashley Baker speaks with Dr. Richard Jackson, Associate Clinical Professor at the Oakland Beaumont University School of Medicine and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Michigan School of Medicine.
