Healthcare is a bewildering place for the uninitiated and is made worse when presentations are vague, long-term, and seemingly out-of-place. What to do with unexplained itching?

That child that seems fatigued and listless with the cherry tongue and low-grade fever: just send them home? How do you respond when your patient wants your opinion on the ‘benefits’ of marijuana?

Dermatology is considered one of the most difficult specialties. With over 3,200 diseases across the largest organ of the body, it can be a challenge even for the most seasoned expert.

Add to the fact that many skin problems may also be multi-layered! It is incumbent for all specialties to have a thorough understanding of the most basic skin issues. Join Victor Czerkasij for a fast-paced “Top New Year’s Dermatology Resolutions” that everyone can get on board with.

It is axiomatic to target LDL-C levels to lower cardiovascular risk. Over the past four decades, statins have been proven to reduce levels by over 50% and cardiovascular events by up to 30%. However, despite this, there is significant residual cardiovascular risk, LDL-C levels often remain above optimal levels, and there is a significant number of patients who cannot tolerate high-dose statins or any statin. Over the past decade, other lipid-lowering therapies, so-called “non-statins,” have been developed and added to statin or independent of statin (i.e., bempedoic acid), provide additional lipid-lowering and have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular risk even more. We will review the pathophysiologic mechanism for how lipoproteins contribute to atherosclerotic plaque development, briefly discuss how APO B100 and Lp(a) fit in, review serum lipid level goals, and, through cases, become comfortable knowing how to consider and incorporate non-statin therapies into lipid management to lower cardiovascular risk. Join us!

This is a “can’t miss” MCS as we learn answers to these questions and all of the practical pearls about these drugs including their safety, dosing, and expected weight loss.

“Don’t eat anything white” is not enough. As the provider and clinician, you have to say something more, especially if you have just given your patient their diagnosis of pre-diabetes or maybe type 2 diabetes. Understanding your limited visit time with patients, you have to be concise and help people move to action without feeling like they can’t ever eat a potato or piece of bread again.
