Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is caused by iron deficiency, a common yet underrecognized clinical entity. Populations at greatest risk include children, menstruating and pregnant persons, and people of low socioeconomic status. Timely diagnosis and management of iron deficiency are key to preventing IDA and require thorough assessment of the underlying cause and appropriate iron repletion through either oral or parenteral therapy.

Invasive Fungal Diseases: 5 Pearls Segment

Invasive fungal diseases are increasingly common but often under-recognized due to outdated risk frameworks, misinterpretation of diagnostic tests, and unfamiliarity with antifungal therapies. Many clinicians struggle to appropriately identify at-risk patients, interpret fungal markers like Beta-D-Glucan and galactomannan, and initiate timely antifungal treatment. This podcast addresses these gaps by providing practical strategies for risk assessment, diagnostic testing, and evidence-based management of fungal infections.

Inpatient Management of Patients With Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis affects millions of U.S. adults and costs the U.S. health care system upward of $6 billion annually. Cirrhosis is underrecognized, and the only cure is transplantation.

Evidence-based practices and guidelines offer quality recommendations for clinicians, but many of these guidelines have changed recently. This article provides an update on the current guidelines for the inpatient management of cirrhosis.
