Diagnosis and Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome for Community Clinicians - May 1, 2024
This activity will provide physicians and advanced-practice providers a good foundation of the symptoms, diagnostic approaches and treatment therapies for chronic idiopathic constipation) patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) and IBS-C (constipation). Special emphasis will be placed on the exploration of newly approved agents and those on the horizon of clinical practice. Key topics to be discussed include the diagnosis of IBS, the safety and efficacy of recently approved pharmacologic agents, and optimizing treatment and patient management approaches.
Improving Diagnostic and Treatment Outcomes of Cholestatic Liver Disease: May 1, 2024
This seminar will explore the general natural history of PBC and PSC and provide information on the latest drug therapies currently available as well as those under investigation. A special section will focus on the frequent complaint of itching and will focus on the management of Cholestatic Pruritus.
Santa Barbara Dermatology Meeting 2024 - May 2 – May 5, 2024
Each year, nationally recognized leaders in medical, procedural, and aesthetic medicine convene in Santa Barbara to discuss and review the current state of knowledge in their respective dermatologic specialties. This program in medical dermatology features key clinical topics, including atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, cutaneous cancers, rosacea, psoriasis, and other important issues. Aesthetic medicine continues to be a growing specialty in the milieu of the aging American population and medical consumers’ ever-increasing desire to achieve the best possible quality of life at any age.
Biochemistry Research Conference - Kamille Rasche, Micro/Immun Grad Student
Investigating the Role of B Cells and Secreted Antibodies in the Pathogenesis of Lung Adenocarcinoma; PI - Corey Watson
University of Louisville Dermatology Spring Meeting 2024 - May 10, 2024
This year the focus of our course is on Genodermatoses. The meeting will begin with patient viewing focusing on patients with skin manifestations of genodermatosis [some of the presentations will likely be posters when the live patients are not able to attend in person]. After a short break, we will begin with presentations by our residents of cases of the year. Following the resident presentations, we will discuss the patients who were presented. Our Visiting Professor will be asked to comment on each case as well. The case discussion will be followed by a lecture delivered by our visiting professor, John McGrath, MD, Professor of Molecular Dermatology, King’s College London, England.
Biochemistry Seminar - Matthew Harris, Harvard Medical School
Forward Genetic and Genomic Insights into Bioelectric Regulation of Coordinated Growth in Development and Evolution; guest of Ben Lovely
Neuro-Oncology Symposium 2024: Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy in Neuro-Oncology - June 8, 2024
Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that works to stimulate or suppress the immune system to teach the body to fight cancer. Studies in immunotherapy hope to help the immune system recognize and fight abnormal cancer cells that have traditionally suppressed immune responses. UofL’s 2024 Neuro-Oncology Symposium will focus on the developments in immunotherapy in neuro-oncology, current treatments and clinical trials, and the outlook for future brain tumor patient outcomes.
CV/Stroke Symposium: Updates in Cerebrovascular Disease - August 10, 2024
Cerebrovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Stroke is most commonly associated with cerebrovascular disease, but other conditions include aneurysms, vascular dementia, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Rapid identification and treatment of these diseases can not only be lifesaving but also minimize disability. Technological advances, including artificial intelligence and bypass surgery, have made great strides in identifying and treating cerebrovascular diseases. This seminar will discuss updates in the care and treatments of these disease.
Adult Critical Care Procedures Course - August 31, 2024
This is a critical care procedures course to learn the essential techniques for intubations, central lines (including cordis and dialysis catheters), arterial lines, and chest tubes on adult patients.
