- Nutritional
Challenges in Chronic Kidney Disease
This course is designed for the healthcare
professional who is either already
involved in the care of patients with
chronic kidney disease (CKD) or who
has an interest in this field. Clinical
practice guidelines are utilized as
a resource in this program and are
based on the National Kidney foundation
(NFK) outcomes quality initiative
(KDOQI). These guidelines were developed
following a rigorous investigation
and have helped health professionals
caring for the patient with CKD in
making more informed decisions regarding
their care.
- Lifestyle
Modifications for Diabetic Patients
The New Year offers a great opportunity
to motivate your patients with diabetes
to improve their nutrition and ability
to adapt healthy lifestyle choices.
Lifestyle changes have been shown
to greatly improve diabetes, resulting
in prevention of complications. This
6-week webinar series will provide
practitioners with information to
assist their patients with a variety
of changes from behavior modification
to weight management to deciphering
information regarding activity and
prevention. This program will benefit
clinicians who care for these patients
and will provide a good review for
the experienced dietician or diabetes
educator.
- Nutrition
and Cardiovascular Disease: Integrated
Care Through Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac Rehabilitation programs use
a multidisciplinary approach to get
patients back to their best functioning
level. This webinar focuses on the
major aspects of medical nutrition
therapy in cardiac rehab. Each session
incorporates standards from the American
Dietetic Association, the National
Cholesterol Education Program, the
American Association for Cardiovascular
and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, the
American College of Cardiology, and
the American Heart Association. Evidence-based
guidelines are used to apply to real-life
challenges.

Allergic
Asthma Resource Center
Developed in Partnership
with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation
of America(AAFA)
Despite
treatment, many of your patients' asthma
symptoms may not be under control. They
may have allergic asthma, the most common
form of asthma, which is triggered by
allergens
like pet dander, dust mites or mold.
An IgE test is one way to help determine
if your patients' asthma is allergic.
AAFA, as part of their "What’s
My IgE" educational program, encourages
healthcare professionals and patients
to discuss whether an IgE test is appropriate.
Visit the Allergic Asthma Resource Center
now for more information to help start
the discussion with your patients.

Title:
Myocardial
Infarction in Women: Promoting Symptoms
Recognition, Early Diagnosis, and Risk
Assessment
Authors: Samantha
J. Zbierajewski-Eischeid, RN, MS, and
Susan J. Loeb, PhD, RN
Abstract:
Even with national campaigns to help
increase awareness, most people don’t
realize that heart disease is now the
leading cause of death for women. Women
experiencing an acute cardiac event
often don’t recognize the symptoms or
are misdiagnosed by healthcare providers
because of atypical symptom presentation.
This leads to a delay in treatment and
less desirable outcomes. This article
highlights the range of symptoms and
events in women with MI and focuses
on how nurses can increase the publics’
awareness of this disease in women.
