Treating Seizure Clusters in the Outpatient Setting

Seizure clusters have been associated with a high rate of hospital admissions, and if left untreated, there is an increased risk of developing status epilepticus, seizure-related injuries, higher mortality rates and an
increased risk of postictal psychosis.
Midazolam nasal spray (MDZ-NS) is a portable and easy to use drug-device for the treatment of seizure clusters in the outpatient setting that does not require administration by a healthcare provider. It is also more socially acceptable than rectally administered therapies.

Endometriosis | Unmasking the Silent Struggle

Endometriosis is greatly underdiagnosed in women, particularly because of its variable clinical manifestations that may mimic other conditions. It may be present in adolescents from the time of menarche and, rarely, can persist after menopause. Early detection and referral to a gynaecologist
reduces the time to diagnosis. A high-quality ultrasound can facilitate accurate diagnosis and surgical planning. Management is multidisciplinary and aimed at alleviating pain, increasing fertility and improving quality of life.

Maintaining the Protective Barrierof the Eye

Maintaining the Protective Barrier of the Eye

Health of the human ocular surface relies on a stable thin layer of tears which act as a protective barrier
against the external environment, keeps the surface moistened and maintains ocular epithelial surface
homeostasis. When inadequate lubrication due to decreased tear production occurs, tear substitutes
are considered first-line therapy. Artelac Ultra 4S eye drops provide intensive moisturising and support
regeneration of the protective barrier of the eye surface when it is dry or after surgery.

Managing Drug-induced GORD,Oesophagitis and Heartburn

Managing Drug-induced GORD, Oesophagitis and Heartburn

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterised
by a recurrent retrograde flow of gastric contents into the oesophagus and sometimes into the
oropharynx. The use of certain medications has been linked to the onset or worsening of GORD
symptoms. A common and effective treatment of oesophagitis and GORD is to reduce gastric acid
secretion with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).

Typical Reflux Disease | Recognition and management of resistance to therapy

Recognition and Management of Resistance to Therapy

Diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease depends on recognising the cardinal symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation, with faulty diagnosis contributing to apparent failures of medical management. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the mainstay of treatment for most patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, but 20 to 30% of patients remain symptomatic despite therapy. Management of persistent reflux symptoms, including heartburn, regurgitation and chest pain, that are not well controlled by medical therapy may require insightful physiological management. Systematic reviews have
found that minimally invasive laparoscopic antireflux surgery is superior to medical management in treating refractory reflux disease.

Treating Comorbidities in Heart FailureTackling the Hidden Burden

Treating Comorbidities in Heart Failure Tackling the Hidden Burden

Most patients with heart failure (HF) also have comorbidities that require clinical attention. HF is part of
a cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic syndrome, in which HF and its comorbidities share common metabolic and inflammatory pathways, and have common therapeutic targets. Comprehensive care should optimise guidelinedirected medical therapy while addressing these comorbidities. Recent advances in management include sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, finerenone, intravenous iron and vaccinations. GPs are well placed to deliver holistic, patient-centred care to patients with HF.

Cultivating Curiosity for Good ClinicalDecision-making and Life Satisfaction

Curiosity can be defined as a strong desire to investigate, learn, know or understand something new. It may be driven by a sense of wonder or the need to solve a puzzle. It can be viewed as an essential component of human motivation for exploration, discovery and learning that underpins intellectual
growth and creativity. Curiosity may be considered an indispensable trait for the practising physician, helping to connect disparate clinical dots, especially when there is an absent conventional roadmap.

Cardio-oncology – The Intersection Between Heart and Cancer Care

Cardio-oncology is a rapidly emerging subspecialty that has gained momentum due to increasing insights into how cancer and its various treatment options can adversely affect the cardiovascular (CV) system. Many modern cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy and radiotherapy, carry significant risk of cardiotoxicity, which can manifest acutely or many years after treatment. Cardio-oncology focuses on the different aspects of CV care for patients with cancer who are undergoing or who have completed cancer treatment and involves optimisation and management of CV health, early detection of cardiac complications of cancer treatment and long-term follow up and surveillance.
