At an Institute for Value-Based Medicine® (IVBM) event cohosted by The American Journal of Managed Care®, experts discussed efforts to implement obesity management science into practice.

Early intervention for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is crucial due to the high mortality rate, with emerging therapies like nerandomilast showing potential to reduce health care costs by preventing disease progression.

Despite guidelines recommending annual screenings, nearly half of patients with diabetes miss critical eye exams, explains Jose A. Martinez, MD, president and retina specialist at Austin Retina Associates.

A new study found that older patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation who underwent mitral valve surgery had significantly better outcomes than those who received medical management alone, including lower rates of heart failure hospitalization and death.
