This patient is a 32-year-old male who presented with intermittent right chest stabbing pain since November 29th. He had a history of COVID-19 infection in September 2021. Imaging showed signs suggestive of chronic pulmonary embolism including Hampton's hump on CXR and enlargement of the right pulmonary artery on CT scan. Echocardiogram also supported chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. He was treated with 5 days of enoxaparin and then switched to dabigatran. Further workup was suggested to investigate possible causes of thrombophilia. The duration of anticoagulation in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is indefinite to prevent recurrent pulmonary embolism.

Brucellosis involves the liver in varying ways, ranging from benign subclinical increases in serum aminotransferase levels to chronic suppurative disease
A diagnostic schema is a cognitive tool that allows clinicians to systematically approach a clinical problem by providing an organizing scaffold. A commonly used schema for acute kidney injury (AKI) separates this problem into pre-renal, intrinsic, and post-renal causes. By approaching AKI using these categories, clinicians can systematically access and explore individual illness scripts as potential diagnoses.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

22. Final Diagnosis
• Pulmonary embolism
• Inactive disease
• Pulmonary hypertension
• suspect chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
• HbH disease
• without regular blood transfusion
• with splenectomy when 16 y/o
• Thrombocytosis
• IgA Nephritis with persisted hematuria and protienuria, CKD stage II
• Chronic venous insufficiency in the right popliteal vein
• Resolved event
• COVID-19 infection
• Suspected resolved thrombosis in the left popliteal vein
24. Incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in COVID-19 patients

J Emerg Med. 2022 Jun;62(6):716-724
34. In the absence of confirmed or suspected VTE
• All hospitalized adults with COVID-19 should at a minimum receive
pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis, unless the risk of bleeding even on
prophylactic dosing outweighs the risk of thrombosis
• LMWH is preferred over unfractionated heparin (UFH)
• In patients for whom anticoagulants are contraindicated or unavailable,
mechanical thromboprophylaxis (e.g., pneumatic compression devices) can be
used
• ICU patients: standard prophylactic doses of anticoagulants
• Non-ICU patients: therapeutic-intensity anticoagulation
