I’m writing for Medscape about inpatient obesity interventions and hospital-based care models. I’m seeking US-based MDs or DOs (hospitalists, obesity medicine specialists, endocrinologists, or those involved in inpatient care). Please answer whichever of the following questions best fit your expertise — you don’t need to answer all. Willing to be quoted with full name, title, and affiliation, consent to light editing, and disclose conflicts of interest. Questions: What clinical factors make hospitalization a unique moment to initiate obesity treatment? In your experience, how often are patients with obesity discharged without a structured weight plan? Can you share examples of inpatient-to-outpatient obesity pathways or consult models, and the outcomes you’ve seen? What are the biggest barriers to embedding obesity care into inpatient medicine? If you could design the ideal inpatient-to-outpatient pathway, what would it include, and who should be accountable? Are there studies or pilots you find most convincing when making the case for inpatient obesity interventions? Requirements: US Based, Board-certified MD or DO with direct experience in obesity management, hospital medicine, or care transitions. Please include your full name, title, specialty, and affiliation.

Seeking U.S.-based experts in pulmonology to comment on innovations in COPD and asthma care I am working on a Medscape article about new approaches to managing COPD and asthma that go beyond standard inhaler therapy. I am seeking U.S.-based pulmonologists, researchers, or physicians with experience in pulmonary medicine to share insights on emerging strategies in clinical practice and research. Questions: What innovations in COPD and asthma care are you seeing beyond pharmacotherapy (e.g., breathing techniques, pulmonary rehab, personalized approaches)? Are you using or researching personalized oxygen protocols? If so, how do they compare with standard oxygen therapy? What role do biologic or precision-medicine therapies play in COPD and asthma management today? What barriers exist in implementing these newer approaches (cost, access, adherence)? How can primary care providers best incorporate or refer for these innovations? Looking ahead, what developments are most promising for improving COPD and asthma outcomes over the next 5 years? Consent Note: By responding, you consent to being quoted in a Medscape article with attribution. Quotes may be lightly edited for clarity, style, and flow. Please disclose any potential conflicts of interest (such as financial relationships with relevant companies or organizations).
