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

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. 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
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• To know the commonly used drugs in
bronchial asthma
• To understand the mechanism of action of the
major classes of drugs used in bronchial
asthma
• To know the adverse effects of these drugs
3. BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
• Chronic inflammatory disease
• Reversible episodes of airway
obstruction
• Due to hyperresponsiveness of
tracheobronchial smooth muscle
to various stimuli, resulting in :
-Bronchospasm
-Narrowing of airtubes
-Mucosal edema
-Increased bronchial mucus
secretion and mucus plugging
10. B. Corticosteroids
i. Systemic – Oral: Prednisone
Parenteral : Methylprednisolone,
hydrocortisone
ii. Non- systemic – Inhalational : Beclomethasone,
fluticasone, budesonide
C. Mast cell stabilizers – Nedocromil, ketotifen, sodium
cromoglycate
D.Leukotrine (LT) modulators
i. 5’- lipoxygenase inhibitors – Zileuton
ii. LT receptor antagonist – Zafirlukast, montelukast
11.
12. Role of beta agonists in asthma
MOA
β2 agonists have other beneficial effects including inhibition of
mast cell-mediator release, prevention of microvascular
leakage and airway edema, and enhanced mucocillary
clearance. The inhibitor effects on mast cell actions suggest
that β2 agonists may modify acute inflammation.
14. • Adrenaline – prompt but short-lasting action;
rarely used because of adverse effects
• Isoprenaline – prompt and marked
bronchodilatation; disadvantage – tachycardia
• Ephedrine – mild slowly developing
bronchodilatation; used for mild to moderate
asthma
• Salbutamol – inhaled drug – rapid onset, short
duration of action; used for acute attack
A/E: tremors, tachycardia, palpitation,
nervousness
15. • Terbutaline – can be used safely during
pregnancy
• Salmeterol – slow onset of action, long acting;
used for maintenance therapy and nocturnal
asthma
• Formoterol – faster onset of action, long acting;
used for acute attack and maintenance therapy
16. Limitations
• Non-selective sympathomimetics – cardiac side effects
(β1action) – not preferred in elderly or heart patients
• Long term use of salbutamol and terbutaline –
downregulation of receptors – diminished
responsiveness – worsening of disease
17. Anticholinergics
• MOA
• Atropine and ipratropium antagonize the
actions of Ach at parasympathetic,
postganglionic, effector cell junctions by
competing with Ach for M3 receptor
sites.
• This antagonism of Ach results in airway
smooth muscle relaxation and
bronchodilation.
18. Anticholinergics
• Mode of administration - inhalation
• Slow onset of action – better suited for regular
prophylactic use
• Indications –
– Asthmatic bronchitis
– Psychogenic asthma
COPD
Nebulized ipratropium + salbutamol – refractory asthma
19. Methylxanthines
• MOA –
i. Inhibition of phosphodiesterase – increased
cAMP and cGMP level
ii.Blockade of adenosine receptors
• Mode of administration - oral, i.m., i.v. , rectal
suppositories
20. Plasma therapeutic range – 5-20 µg/ml
Side effects :
• GIT: nausea, vomiting, gastritis, aggravation of
peptic ulcer
• CVS: tachycardis, palpitation, arrhythmias,
hypotension
• CNS: insomnia, headache, delirium,
restlessness, tremor
• Diuresis, flushing
• Rapid i.v. – syncope and sudden death
22. Corticosteroids
MOA:
• Decreases the synthesis of inflammatory mediators
• Prevent recruitment, proliferation and activation of
leukocytes
Systemic steroid therapy –
• Severe chronic asthma
• Status asthmaticus
Inhaled steroids –
Long term treatment of asthma
24. • MOA
– They block IgE-regulated calcium channels
essential for mast cell degranulation
– Prevent the release of histamine and related
mediators.
Mast cell stabilizers
