Effective treatments for this acute, bothersome illness are limited; inappropriate antibiotic prescribing and use of therapeutics with little evidence of effectiveness are common.

Join us while we discuss new evidence that reveals an association between low-to-moderate alcohol use in white middle-to-older aged adults and improved cognition.

Lung Cancer Screening: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Weights In - Frankly Speaking Ep 192

Credits: 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
Claim CME/CE credit: https://www.pri-med.com/online-education/podcast/frankly-speaking-cme-192
Overview: Currently a low-dose CT scan is the only screening test for lung cancer that is recommended by the American Cancer Society. In July 202, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued a draft recommendation statement on screening for lung cancer. The USPSTF suggests annual screening with low-dose CT for individuals aged 50-80 who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and who currently smoke or have quit smoking within the past 15 years. These recommendations expand screening eligibility, but they also suggest that screening be discontinued if a person has not smoked for 15 years, develops a health problem that substantially limits life expectancy, or is unable or unwilling to have curative lung surgery.
