Seize the Day: Expanding Opportunities for Pneumococcal Immunization in Adults (Part 1)

Credits: 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Claim CME/CE credit: https://www.pri-med.com/online-education/podcast/seize-the-day-pt-1 Overview: The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) makes shared clinical decision-making recommendations when individuals may benefit from vaccination, but broad vaccination of all people in that group is unlikely to have population-level impact. Such a recommendation is applicable to pneumococcal vaccines whereby pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is recommended for all adults 65 and older, while the administration of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is based on shared decision-making. In this podcast, we will discuss the ACIP recommendations and the use of shared decision-making as it applies to pneumococcal vaccines.

Credits: 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ Claim CME/CE credit: https://www.pri-med.com/online-education/podcast/frankly-speaking-cme-178 Overview: As men age, over-active bladder (OAB) symptoms (urgency, frequency, nocturia) are commonly seen. Typically, these symptoms are secondary to the development of benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH). Alpha-blocking and/or antimuscarinic agents are commonly prescribed to treat such symptoms. In this podcast we review the COBALT study which examines the benefits of behavioral treatments (pelvic floor muscle training and fluid restriction before bedtime) alone or combined with drug therapy to treat OAB symptoms.
