Second Opinion: Antimicrobial Resistance

By

March 15th 2022

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been an ongoing major public health issue for some time. In 2019, antimicrobial resistance was the leading cause of death worldwide, surpassing even HIV and malaria in mortality according to a study published in the Lancet in January. When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in 2020, many public health issues such as antimicrobial resistance took a back seat. In fact, antibiotic prescribing increased during this time as providers scrambled to care for patients. Now as COVID-19 cases continue to show a downward trend, antimicrobial resistance has become a significant priority again, and more of an emphasis is being placed on antibiotic prescribing practices. Anthony McDonnell and Dr. Javier Guzman discuss the findings of the study and the effects COVID-19 may have had in the prescribing practices.

Behind the Science: Behind Pharmacotherapy for Obesity

March 15th 2022

The notion that the key to obesity management is to “eat less, move more,” is a deeply rooted cultural belief that can still be resistant to the current truth that obesity is a chronic, relapsing disease. Obesity medicine experts confirm that while dietary change and exercise are essential to the success of a weight management program, used alone they will not sustain meaningful weight loss for persons with overweight, obesity, or severe obesity. Enter the generation of new drugs that target the specific underlying physiology of obesity and work along with diet, exercise, and other interventions to augment and sustain weight loss. Editors at Patient Care Online spoke with leading obesity medicine investigators about how the new medications can be integrated into primary care where patients are seen first and most consistently as they struggle against the disease of obesity.
