Chronic visceral acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), also referred to as Niemann-Pick disease type B, is a rare and progressive autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder that causes progressive accumulation of sphingomyelin and other lipids in tissues throughout the body and is associated with significant morbidity and reduced life expectancy. The diagnosis of chronic visceral ASMD is often delayed by months or years, because its complex signs and symptoms overlap with other diseases. In this activity, leading experts review current consensus recommendations for the diagnosis of ASMD in pediatric and adult patients.

Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which represents a major worldwide burden on public health, particularly in aging populations. Anemia affects the majority of patients with advanced CKD and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, hospitalization, and mortality. Anemia in CKD is predominantly because of a relative deficiency in erythropoietin (EPO) production by the kidney, although concomitant functional and/or absolute iron deficiency and systemic and local inflammation also frequently contribute to its induction and maintenance. The current standard of care for anemia secondary to CKD is the use of injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), alone or in combination with intravenous or oral iron supplementation. While ESAs have been shown to be effective in treating anemia for many patients with CKD, they have some well-recognized limitations. Thus, alternative treatments that limit EPO exposure would be useful additions to the therapeutic armamentarium for anemia in CKD. Stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) via prolyl-hydroxylase (PH) domain inhibition represents a potentially promising new therapeutic approach to treat anemia secondary to CKD. Activation of HIF orchestrates a coordinated response to promote erythropoiesis through the stimulation of endogenous EPO production, increased uptake of iron, and mobilization of iron stores. Indeed, several HIF-PH inhibitors are currently in development for the treatment of anemia in CKD, and available clinical trial data suggest that HIF-PH inhibitors offer a number of advantages over ESAs. In this activity, based on a live symposium, experts offer insight into best practices regarding the treatment of CKD-associated anemia and the important emerging evidence for HIF-PH inhibitors in settings where conventional ESA therapy is often of limited efficacy. Foundational guidance is combined with a discussion of real cases. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Describe the clinical consequences of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), Recognize the rationale for targeting hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stabilization with HIF prolyl-hydroxylase (PH) inhibitors as a treatment strategy for anemia as a result of CKD, Summarize current clinical trial data regarding the efficacy and safety of HIF-PH inhibitors for the treatment of anemia because of CKD in both nondialysis-dependent and dialysis-dependent patients, Identify patients with anemia because of CKD who would likely derive benefit from treatment with a HIF-PH inhibitor

Treatment of cancer has been transformed by the new immune checkpoint inhibitor class of agents that have shown remarkable benefit in many different types of tumors, but they can also cause unusual immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) that can affect any organ system. Expanding use of these immunotherapies in oncology means that emergency medicine professionals can expect to encounter an increasing number of patients experiencing various irAEs in emergency departments. Timely recognition, accurate diagnosis, and effective management of irAEs can ensure that patients derive maximum benefit from these therapies, and emergency nurses have an important role to play in evaluating and triaging these patients. This CNE educational on-demand activity combines lessons on everything emergency nurses need to know about cancer immunotherapies and irAEs with case discussions and practical guidance for keeping patients with cancer safe in the era of immuno-oncology. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Describe the basic principles of harnessing the human immune system in the treatment of cancer, including the mechanistic aspects of immune checkpoint inhibition and development of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs), Characterize the presenting symptoms of the spectrum of irAEs associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and combinations, including those most likely to be encountered by emergency nurses and other professionals in the emergency department (ED), Outline the general and organ/site-specific recommendations for the recognition, evaluation, diagnosis/differential diagnosis, and management of irAEs in the ED, Implement recommended strategies for triage, evaluation, diagnosis, and management of relevant irAEs in EM settings in collaboration with oncology specialists

Pancreatic cancer has retained its fearsome reputation amidst the clinical advances made in recent years in other solid tumor settings, and it is now the fourth leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States. But recently, new science has taken important steps in meeting the challenges posed by this disease. Beginning with the validation of modern chemotherapy platforms, which now can be sequenced to improve clinical benefits, clinicians are increasingly able to select more potent—and soon, more targeted—options for disease management. In the wake of these advances, other innovative therapies are being rapidly developed, from stroma- and BRCA-targeting agents, to immunotherapy and tumor treating fields. In this PeerView CaseBook on-demand activity based on a recent live symposium held at the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in Chicago, our expert panel profiles the modern management of pancreatic cancer, including the evidence for more personalized approaches to treatment decision-making across the disease spectrum. The panelists highlight new directions in therapeutic sequencing, explore the role of clinical trials as a driver for validating innovative strategies, and use real-world cases to crystalize strategies for initial therapy selection and sequencing, the function of biomarker testing, and patient referral to clinical trials. This engaging CaseBook activity also highlights important “patient voice” materials developed in collaboration with Let’s Win, an online community (letswinpc.org) for sharing information about innovative, science-based treatments for Pancreatic Cancer. Let’s Win is an affiliate of the Lustgarten Foundation. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Summarize recent evidence on the use of modern cytotoxic platforms and chemotherapy sequencing approaches, targeted agents, and tumor treating field therapy, among others, in the setting of advanced pancreatic cancer, Recommend appropriate therapeutic platforms across multiple lines of therapy for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer based on available evidence, guideline recommendations, and disease- and patient-specific characteristics, Identify patients with pancreatic cancer who are candidates for experimental therapy in a clinical trial, Manage adverse events associated with established cytotoxic and emerging therapies for pancreatic cancer.
