Discover insights into the challenging landscape of Cushing syndrome, where adrenal variations require careful diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In this podcast, Sina Jasim, MD, MPH, Editor-in-Chief of the AACE Clinical Reports (ACCR) and Associate Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine, leads a compelling discussion on two unique cases featured in the ACCR article, Histopathologic Differences Between Adrenocorticotropic Hormone–Dependent and Adrenocorticotropic Hormone–Independent Adrenal Hyperplasia Causing Cushing Syndrome. Authors, Amir H Hamrahian, MD, Endocrinologist, Associate Professor, and Medical Director of the Comprehensive Adrenal Center at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Ezra Baraban, MD, Assistant Professor of Pathology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explain the diagnostic challenges for each case, the decision-making process between medical and surgical approaches, and the critical role of pathology in guiding clinical care.

Obesity is a complex, chronic disease of excessive or abnormally accumulated body fat that significantly increasing the risk of various medical conditions. As the most prevalent chronic disease in the United States—affecting 40% of the population—and impacting 1 in 8 people globally, finding reliable, clinically accurate, and patient-friendly information online can be challenging. To address this gap, AACE developed the “AACE Journey for Patients With Obesity,” a comprehensive resource designed to empower people with obesity to navigate their condition, treatment options, and wellness goals. In this episode, leading endocrinologists Elizabeth Bauer, MD, FACP; Cheryl Rosenfeld, DO, FACE, FACP, FSVM, ECNU; and Kenneth Izuora, MD, MBA, FACE, discuss the journey’s development using the latest guidelines, including the integration of adiposity-based chronic disease (ABCD) terminology, which addresses the stigma associated with obesity. They also highlight the collaboration with the Obesity Action Coalition to ensure the resource is patient-centered and explain how both patients and health care professionals can utilize it to enhance care and improve outcomes. Support for this podcast was provided in part by Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim.

Join Maria A. Mogollon, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, a Diabetes and Obesity Nurse Practitioner and former Internal Medicine physician in Venezuela, and Jeff Unger, MD, FAAFP, FACE, DACD, Director, Unger Primary Care Concierge Medical Group, renowned Board-Certified Family Physician, Diabetologist, and co-author of the AACE 2021 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Use of Advanced Technology in the Management of Persons with Diabetes Mellitus, as they delve into crucial topics in diabetes technology. Key topics discussed include the benefits and cost-effectiveness of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) compared to traditional finger-stick methods, practical implementation into practice workflows, interpreting CGM data, and identifying ideal candidates for CGM use. Through case studies and practical examples, they address common concerns and barriers to CGM adoption, providing valuable insights for healthcare professionals on how to have effective conversations with patients and integrate CGM technology into patient care.
