Host: Lee Shulman MD, FACOG, FACMG Guest: Kristina Deligiannidis, MD The recent development and approval of two neuroactive steroids is likely to change the treatment paradigm for moderate to severe postpartum depression (PPD). These agents have a quick onset and function as GABAA positive allosteric modulators. Join Drs. Shulman and Deligiannidis as they address the burdens and impacts of PPD on mothers, babies, and partners, and deep dive into the pathophysiologic role and clinical findings associated with the use of neuroactive steroids in the management of PPD.

Host: Kevin Trice, MD Host: Michael E. Yurcheshen, MD, FAASM Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and experiencing non-restorative or poor-quality sleep; it often leaves individuals feeling unrefreshed upon awakening. Symptoms during the day may include fatigue, irritability, impaired focus, and excessive sleepiness. The condition can significantly deteriorate a person’s quality of life, leading to reduced productivity, impaired cognitive function, mood disturbances, and an increased risk of accidents or injuries due to daytime sleepiness. This educational program delves into the pathophysiology and diagnosis of insomnia as well as the role of the orexin system in the sleep/wake cycle. The program also evaluates the latest treatments, including the dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs), daridorexant, and lemborexant, and how these DORAs compare to other insomnia treatments with the aim of improving treatment choices, reducing adverse events, and improving patient outcomes.

Host: Atul Malhotra, MD Host: Neomi Shah, MD, MPH, MSc This curriculum focuses on the recognition and management of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with treated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Evidence-based treatment strategies for OSA will be reviewed, including best practices for the use of novel pharmacotherapeutics in the management of persistent EDS caused by OSA.

Host: Lee P. Shulman, MD, FACMG, FACOG Guest: Kenneth J. Moise Jr., MD This program is no longer available for credit. Program Chairman: Roberto Romero, MD, DMedSci Chief, Perinatology Research Branch Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Obstetrics Division of Intramural Research NICHD/NIH/DHHS Editor-in-Chief for Obstetrics The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology How well do you understand the biology of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN)? What about its connection to the FcRn receptor pathway and IgG? Drs. Lee Shulman and Ken Moise go beyond the basics taught in medical school immunology and look more closely at FcRn’s role in protecting IgG. With an improved understanding of these mechanisms, we can expand therapeutic targets beyond the fetus and newborn and finally put the needles away.
