Expert Interviews

Panelists discuss how advancing NK receptor research is reshaping menopause care, emphasizing education, innovation, and patient empowerment for lasting impact.

Panelists discuss how structured monitoring and interdisciplinary collaboration enable safe, effective integration of NK-targeted therapies into primary care.

Experts discuss how overcoming insurance barriers and providing thorough documentation are critical for initiating sleep apnea therapy, while early and ongoing patient support, including education, device fitting, and close follow-up, is essential to improve adherence and achieve lasting treatment success.

Experts discuss how overcoming insurance barriers and providing thorough documentation are critical for initiating sleep apnea therapy, while early and ongoing patient support, including education, device fitting, and close follow-up, is essential to improve adherence and achieve lasting treatment success.

Experts discuss how automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) therapy provides a personalized, accessible alternative to traditional continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), especially amid staffing shortages in sleep medicine, with advances in connected devices and artificial intelligence (AI)–driven tools helping clinicians optimize treatment and patient support despite limited resources.

Experts discuss how continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the cornerstone of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment, emphasizing the importance of early patient education, personalized mask fitting, and clear communication about the health risks of untreated OSA to improve adherence and highlight tangible benefits such as increased energy and safety.

Experts discuss the importance of in-lab sleep studies for patients with significant comorbidities or complex sleep disorders such as parasomnias, emphasizing the comprehensive monitoring and technician oversight they provide, as well as their role in confirming or clarifying home test results; they also highlight that clear patient instructions and maintaining usual routines are vital to ensuring accurate and reliable sleep study outcomes.

Experts discuss the evolving role of home-based sleep testing in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), noting its growing popularity due to convenience and patient comfort, while emphasizing that device simplicity, patient education, and pretest probability are key to reliability—though in-lab polysomnography remains essential for complex or comorbid cases, underscoring the complementary value of both approaches in modern sleep medicine.

Panelists discuss how NK receptor antagonists can be strategically positioned as core nonhormonal options within the broader VMS treatment landscape.

Panelists discuss how NK receptor antagonism may improve mood and sleep quality, linking thermoregulation with broader emotional and cognitive health benefits.
