Discover The Impact of Gemtesa, An Effective OAB Treatment: A Fresh Look In Oab Management In Long-Term Care Settings
The mainstay of OAB Treatment is the class of anticholinergics; these medications are on the BEERS list and recently have become known for their associated risk of cognitive impairment, dementia and AD. Vibegron, a beta-3-adrenergic agonist, is as equally efficacious as the anticholinergic class and has a favorable safety profile
Learning objectives:
• Review OAB, identify different types of urinary incontinence, and explain the burden on the LTC community
• Identify residents that have OAB and may benefit from treatment
• Compare the pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of OAB treatment options between the anticholinergic and beta-3- adrenergic classes and within the beta-3-adrenergic class
• Demonstrate understanding of vibegron efficacy and safety data (Phase2b, Phase 3, EMPOWUR, EMPOWUR extension study)

A Closer Look at Adjuvanted Vaccines: Preventing Seasonal Influenza in Older Adults
Older adults (≥ 65 years of age) are especially at risk of morbidity and mortality from seasonal influenza, and annual vaccination is recommended as their best defense. The adjuvanted influenza vaccine has been specifically developed for use in this age group. This presentation will focus on methods to evaluate seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness and will take a closer look at multiple seasons of vaccine effectiveness data available for adjuvanted influenza vaccines in those 65 years of age and older.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the clinical burden of seasonal influenza in older adults
• Understand the benefits of routine influenza vaccination
• Review clinical data for Adjuvanted Seasonal Influenza Vaccine in adults (≥ 65 years of age)
