Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder, with a prevalence of 4% to 10%. It is a chronic condition characterized by abdominal pain in conjunction with altered bowel habits, abdominal distention, or bloating.

Iron deficiency is a common diagnosis and frequent cause of morbidity. However, there is significant variation in how it is diagnosed, with divergent practice patterns and uncertainty among providers. In this episode the team explores the state of current guidelines regarding how to implement iron testing and areas of ongoing clinical uncertainty including iron deficiency in chronic inflammation.
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Invasive fungal diseases are increasingly common but often under-recognized due to outdated risk frameworks, misinterpretation of diagnostic tests, and unfamiliarity with antifungal therapies.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. Complications, including bleeding, infection, ascites, and renal injury, contribute to high rates of hospitalization, readmission, and mortality in this population. 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.
