Antepartum haemorrhage (APH) is defined as bleeding from or in to the genital tract, occurring from 24+0 weeks of pregnancy and prior to the birth of the baby. The most important causes of APH are placenta praevia and placental abruption, although these are not the most common.
Types 1 and 2 are classified as minor placental praevia as these typically result in minor antepartum haemorrhaging. Types 3 and 4 are referred to as major placental praevia due to the risk of heavy haemorrhaging in the case of a rupture due to the location of placental attachment.
Disorders of the placenta including: FGR, pre-eclampsia, placental abruption and abnormal (velamentous) cord insertion are associated with over 50% of stillbirths and are frequently cited as the primary cause of death [1–3]. Abnormal placental structure and function significantly increases the risk of stillbirth.

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

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!
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
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
2. Introduction
• After childbirth or as you get older, you may notice that your pelvic
floor muscles have weakened.
• The pelvic muscles support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. When
they contract, the organs are lifted and the openings to the vagina,
anus, and urethra are tightened. When the muscles are relaxed, urine
and feces can be released from the body.
• Pelvic floor muscles also play an important role in sexual function.
Strengthening these muscles can reduce pelvic pain during sex and
increase the ability of achieving pleasurable sensations. During
pregnancy, pelvic floor muscles support the baby and assist in the
birthing process.
3. Introduction
• Pregnancy and childbirth can cause the pelvic floor muscles to
weaken, and so can other factors like age, obesity, heavy lifting, and
chronic coughing. Weak pelvic floor muscles can cause:
• incontinence
• uncontrollable passing of wind
• painful sex
• Pelvic floor muscle training is a proven conservative treatment or
preventive for pelvic organ prolapse. Research reports this practice
reduced the frequency and severity of symptoms of pelvic organ
prolapse.
5. 1. Kegels
• Pelvic muscle training, or Kegels, is the practice of contracting and relaxing
your pelvic floor muscles. You may benefit from Kegels if you experience
urine leakage from sneezing, laughing, jumping, or coughing, or have a
strong urge to urinate just before losing a large amount of urine.
• Main muscles worked: pelvic floor
• Equipment needed: none
• Identify the right muscles. The easiest way to do this is to stop urination
midstream. These are your pelvic floor muscles.
• To perform Kegels, contract these muscles and hold for 5 seconds. Release
for 5 seconds.
• Repeat this 10 times, 3 times a day.
7. 2. Squats
• Squats engage the largest muscles in the body and have one of the
largest payoffs in terms of strength improvement. When performing
this fundamental move, ensure your form is solid before you add any
resistance.
8. 2. Squats
• Main muscles worked: glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps
• Equipment needed: barbell
• Stand in an upright position, feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart
and toes slightly pointed out. If using a barbell, it should be rested behind
your neck on your trapezius muscles.
• Bend your knees and push your hips and butt back as if you’re going to sit
in a chair. Keep your chin tucked and neck neutral.
• Drop down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, keeping your
weight in your heels and knees bowed slightly outward.
• Straighten your legs and return to an upright position.
• Complete 15 reps.
11. 3. Bridge
• The bridge is a great exercise for the glutes. If done correctly, it also
activates the pelvic floor muscles in the process. Even without weight,
the pause and pulse of this move will have you feeling it.
12. 3. Bridge
• Muscles worked: glutes, hamstrings, pelvic floor
• Equipment needed: none
• Lie on the floor. Your spine should be against the ground, with knees bent
at a 90-degree angle, feet flat, and arms straight at your sides with palms
facing down.
• Inhale and push through your heels, raising your hips off the ground by
squeezing your glutes, hamstrings, and pelvic floor. Your body — resting on
your upper back and shoulders — should form a straight line down from
the knees.
• Pause 1–2 seconds at the top and return to the starting position.
• Complete 10–15 reps and 2–3 sets, resting 30–60 seconds between sets.
14. 4. Split tabletop
• Tabletop is a leg move that acts as the foundation of many moves in a
Pilates workout. By adding the split, you’re activating your hips and
pelvic floor muscles as well.
15. 4. Split tabletop
• Muscles worked: abs, hips, pelvic floor
• Equipment needed: mat
• Start with your back on the floor and knees bent so your thighs are
perpendicular to the floor and your shins are parallel to the floor.
• Your abs should be braced and your inner thighs should be activated,
legs touching.
• In a controlled movement, begin to slowly split your legs so each knee
falls outward, reaching a comfortable position.
• Slowly raise back to the start.
• Complete 10–15 reps and 3 sets.
17. 5. Bird dog
• An exercise in balance and stability, bird dog is a full-body move that
makes you engage many muscles at once, including the pelvic floor.
• Muscles worked: abs, back, glutes and hips
18. 5. Bird dog
• Equipment needed: none
• Start on all fours with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Your
back should be straight and your neck should be neutral.
• Brace your core and draw your shoulder blades down your back toward
your hips.
• To start the move, simultaneously straighten and raise your left leg and
right arm, keeping your pelvis and shoulders in a neutral position. Don’t
raise or lower your head. Hold for 2 seconds.
• Bend and lower your leg and arm down back to the starting position while
maintaining stability. Then switch, raising your right leg and left arm. This is
1 rep.
• Complete 10 total reps and 3 sets.
