Streptococcus (S.) pneumoniae is a common bacterium and one of the leading causes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), causing 27% of cases worldwide and 15% of U.S. cases – an important figure because CAP is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Not only is acute respiratory illness one of the top ten causes of death in the U.S., but it is associated with a 17% all-cause mortality rate 30 days after presentation and a 38% rate after one year. For those admitted to the ICU – accounting for nearly a quarter of those hospitalized with CAP the corresponding morality rates are 27% and 47%, respectively.

Cervical dystonia is the most common focal dystonia, characterized by involuntary muscular contractions resulting in abnormal head, neck, and shoulder movements in addition to posture that can cause tremor and pain. Early-onset dystonia can begin in infancy, childhood, or adolescence, and it generally progresses from focal to generalized. Adult-onset dystonia usually affects the upper part of the body; the origin of the dystonia determines the risk of spread. Cervical dystonia may appear as torticollis, laterocollis, anterocollis, or retrocollis. It may be distinguished from nondystonic hand tremor and essential tremor by the absence of limb tremor and the manner of neck movement. However, it is more difficult to distinguish from pseudodystonias, resulting in misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

Target Audience:

The following HCPs: medical neurologists; physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists who practice in neurology; and other clinicians who commonly encounter patients with cervical dystonia. 

Over 64,000 people develop and close 50,000 die each year of pancreatic cancer, and by 2030, pancreatic cancer is expected to surpass colorectal and breast cancer to become the second-leading cause of cancer death. Over 90% of whom have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and while the 5-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with localized disease is over 44%, patients with locally advanced (LAPC) or metastatic disease have a median overall survival of 12 to 14 months. Symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer are not usually evident in the early stages of the disease and may be intermittent and nonspecific, and more than half of patients have advanced disease by the time they are diagnosed.

Target Audience: Psychiatrists

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious pathogen belonging to the Pneumoviridae family that circulates seasonally with other respiratory viruses. The majority of the population is exposed to RSV, but children under the age of two years and older adults are at the greatest risk of significant morbidity and mortality. RSV infections are responsible for approximately 60-80% of pediatric bronchiolitis and 40% of pediatric pneumonia cases and are a major cause of global hospitalization and mortality. Almost 70% of children are exposed to RSV during their first year of life, and 90% are exposed within their first two years, resulting in an estimated 427,000 emergency department visits and 1.6 million pediatrician visits annually.

Target Audience:
HCPs including: Obstetricians, pediatricians, and family medicine physicians; physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists specializing in pediatrics; and any other HCPs involved or interested in the management of RSV in infants and high-risk children.

Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a heterogeneous group of disorders caused by proliferation of abnormal clonal mastocytes, which accumulate in the skin and/or other organ systems. Mastocytosis, including SM, was reclassified as a distinct disease subtype in 2016, when the World Health Organization (WHO) removed mastocytosis from the myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) group. The WHO defines 5 SM subtypes, ranging from indolent SM, which is associated with mild symptoms and near-normal life expectancy, to mast cell leukemia, which is an aggressive hematologic malignancy associated with median survival of less than 1 year.

Target Audience:
HCPs including: hematology/oncology specialists, allergists, and clinical immunologists, dermatologists; physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists who practice in those areas of specialty; and any other healthcare professionals with an interest in or who may clinically encounter patients with systemic mastocytosis.
