Stroke Virtual Grand Rounds (1)
Stroke and its potentially debilitating consequences necessitate a preemptive approach in which patients are made aware of the risk factors and early warning signs of stroke and healthcare providers respond expediently with effective therapies that will minimize residual effects and ensure the best-possible quality of life for patients who have experienced stroke. Juxtaposed with this scenario are patients who fail to recognize an impending stroke, leading to a delay in treatment and possibly irreversible neurologic damage.
This educational initiative is designed to bring healthcare providers closer to an ideal of stroke care by providing up-to-date and clinically relevant information applied to a variety of situations. These will include the diagnosis and treatment of an acute stroke in evolution, as well as transient ischemic attack, secondary stroke prevention, primary stroke prevention in association with atrial fibrillation, and stroke or myocardial infarction cross-risk with peripheral arterial disease.
In this Virtual Grand Rounds series, a panel of experts in neurology and internal medicine will offer their perspectives on a series of cases that demonstrate the myriad challenges facing physicians who treat patients with or at risk of stroke. Evidenced-based practices in specialty and primary care medicine will be integrated into these cases for the purposes of highlighting the fundamental need for a continuum of stroke care and reaching the goals of optimizing patient recovery and preventing primary and secondary stroke.

HIV Virtual Grand Rounds (1)
For many patients, the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy has transformed HIV from a precipitous infection to a chronic condition controlled with well-tolerated and convenient oral therapy. Although evidence-based treatment guidelines underscore the importance of early recognition and therapy initiation, about 1 in 4 persons in the United States infected with HIV is undiagnosed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that providers include HIV testing as a part of routine patient care. This educational initiative is designed to provide healthcare providers with the most current information on effective screening, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV in the primary care setting. In this Virtual Grand Rounds series, a panel of experts in HIV care will demonstrate best clinical practices in the primary care management of patients with HIV with a series of case-based activities.

Vasculitis Highlights Report (1)
Vasculitis is a complex disease to diagnose and treat. The differential diagnosis is complicated by clinical presentations that vary depending on the localization and degree and type of organs involved. The presence or absence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) is a more recent addition to the proposed classification criteria. Although its role is unclear, the ANCA status has an impact on diagnosis and may affect treatments strategies. This educational activity features experts who provide highlights from key scientific presentations and/or abstracts presented at the 2011 The Fifteenth International Vasculitis & ANCA Workshop.
