Neat! Thanks for sharing:
Acromegaly Update - Focus on IGF-1 Morbidity and Mortality. This is a PHP
slide show presentation. Enjoy!
Dr. David Clemmons, Dr. Robert Gagle, Dr. Pam Freda, and Dr. Anne Kiblanski.
Overview:
Current information concerning the diagnosis and treatment of acromegaly
that encompasses an evolving body of knowledge about a disease not commonly
seen by most clinicians. Delays in diagnosis are common and clinicians are
faced with a variety of therapeutic options for treatment. This program has
been designed to review current information about the diagnosis and the
management of acromegaly, with specific emphasis on recognition of subtle
clinical symptoms resulting from the earliest exposure to excess Growth
Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I). The program will also
address recently published data concerning the role of IGF-I in the
management of acromegaly.
Schedule:
These enduring CME activities will be available to participants on an
on-demand basis through December 2006.
Educational Objectives:
To provide continuing education to endocrinologists and others involved in
the diagnosis of acromegaly in efforts to enhance:
Recognition of subtle clinical symptoms that result from the earliest
exposure to excess GH and IGF-I
Familiarity with the safety and efficacy of current therapeutic options
for normalizing GH and IGF-I levels
Understanding of the relationship between chronic long-term exposure to
excess GH and IGF-I and the subsequent co-morbidities and increased
mortality risk in patients with acromegaly
Target Audience
This accredited CME activity been designed for endocrinologists as well as
other clinicians and healthcare providers involved in the diagnosis and
treatment of acromegaly.
