INTRODUCTION

Credit Hours: CME 0.75

Target Audience:

Faculty, residents, fellows, and community physicians in General Internal Medicine and subspecialties.

Educational Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Recognize the physiologic mechanism limiting successful and long-term weight loss.
  • Describe the effect of caloric restriction on the components of energy balance
  • Identify the variables associated with greater weight loss
  • Identify that patients with cutaneous vasculitis have markedly diminished health related quality of life across multiple domains.
  • Recognize that skin vasculitis has a significant impact on patient wellbeing, symptoms, and self-perception of health.
  • Describe the health-related quality of life impact of skin disease in vasculitis to help improve clinical decision-making
  • Describe Impact of ultra-processed food in IBD
  • List the barriers of studying diet in IBD
  • Recognize that the TRL-c levels measured by VAP are independently associated with the global cognitive performance and executive function
  • Explain how lipid-induced neurovascular injury and inflammation could play a role in cognitive decline


Abstract:
