Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common gynecological problem defined as abnormalities in menstrual cycle length, flow duration, or amount. It can be caused by organic lesions, anovulatory cycles, medications, or dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Evaluation involves history, physical exam, lab tests and imaging to determine the cause and guide treatment. Treatment options include general measures, medical therapy like hormones, and surgical interventions like endometrial ablation or hysterectomy if conservative treatments fail.

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

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. • It is a common gynecological problem.
• Defined as any abnormalities of cycle
length, duration of flow, and amount of
menstrual bleeding.
ABNORMAL UTERINE
BLEEDING (AUB)
5. Causes of abnormal uterine bleeding according to age group
Age group Causes
Pre-puberty Precocious puberty ( hypothalamic, pituitary, or ovarian origin)
Adolescence Anovulatory cycles , coagulation disorders
Reproductive age - Complications of pregnancy ( abortion, ectopic pregnancy, trophoblastic
diseases)
- Organic lesions ( leiomyomas, adenomyosis, polyps, endometrial hyperplasia ,
carcinomas)
-Dysfunctional uterine bleeding
-Anovulatory cycles
-Ovarian dysfunctional bleeding (i.e. inadequate luteal phase)
Perimenopausal -Dysfunctional uterine bleeding
-Anovulatory cycles
- organic lesions( hyperplasia, polyps, carcinoma)
Postmenopausal -Endometrial atrophy
-Organic lesions ( carcinoma, hyperplasia, polyps)
6. Organic cause
– Systemic Etiology
– Reproductive tract disease
– Iatrogenic
– Diagnosis of exclusion
– No anatomic abnormality
– No demonstrable organic cause
– Based on patient history
8. Associated with Anovulatory cycles
– The most frequent cause of dysfunctional bleeding is anovulation
(failure to ovulate)
– Anovulatory cycles result from subtle hormonal imbalances and are
most common at menarche and in the perimenopausal period.
Less commonly, anovulation is the result of:
– Endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease, adrenal disease, or pituitary
tumors
– Ovarian lesions, such as a functioning ovarian tumor (granulosa cell
tumors) or polycystic ovaries
– Generalized metabolic disturbances, such as obesity, malnutrition, or
other chronic systemic diseases
9. Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
(DUB)
A state of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) without any clinically
detectable organic, systemic, and iatrogenic cause.
DUB is defined as ABNORMAL uterine bleeding with NO
demonstrable organic cause.
• It is the most common cause of AUB.
• Two types: -Anovulatory (90%)
-Ovulatory (10%)
10. Anovulatory DUB (90%)
• Most women with DUB do not ovulate
• In these women, there is continuous estrogen production
without corpus luteum formation and progesterone production.
• This gives rise to continuously proliferating endometrium
which may outgrow its blood supply or lose nutrients with
varying degrees of necrosis.
Cause: Hypothalamic – Pituitary – Ovarian hormonal axis imbalance
11. Ovulatory DUB (10%)
• Progesterone secretion is prolonged because
estrogen levels are low.
• This causes irregular shedding of the uterine lining
and break-through bleeding.
12. The physiological mechanism of hemostasis in normal menstruation are:
Platelet adhesion
formation
Formation of platelet plug with fibrin to seal
the bleeding vessels.
Localized vasoconstriction
Regeneration of
endometrium
Biochemical mechanism involved are: In increased endometrial ratio of
PGF2α/PGE2. PGF2α causes vasoconstriction and reduces bleeding. Progesterone
increases the level of PGF2α from arachidonic acid. Levels of endothelin, which is a
powerful vasoconsinctor is also increased.
13. Pathophysiology of DUB
• Due to high level of estrogen and no progesterone production
• decreased synthesis of PGF2α and the ratio of PGF2α/PGE2 is low
• Thus, no vasoconstriction and causing bleeding prolong.
• low level of thromboxane in the endometrium = menorrhagia
• dysfunction of hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis (endocrine origin)
14. Polyp
Adenomyosis
Leiomyoma
Malignancy
Coagulopathy
common in adolescent women present
with heavy period; Von Willebrand’s
Disease
Ovulatory dysfunction
common in adolescent - anovulatory
bleeding
reproductive age – PCOS
Perimenopausal women – 2ry to
declining ovarian function
Endometrial Process
Iatrogenic
Common in
perimenopausal
women
FIGO CLASSIFICATION
Differential Diagnosis
16. • Source of bleeding (vagina ,urethra or rectum?)
• excessive bleeding is assessed by number of pads used, passage of clots (size and number), and duration of
bleeding.
• pattern of bleeding
Period not predictable & irregular – could be ovulatory dysfunction (2ry to PCOS or peri-menopausal
anovulation
Intermenstrual bleeding – Anatomic source (submucosal fibroids or uterine polyp)
Always had very heavy period – Could be coagulopathy
• assess the blood loss by admitting the patient during period.
• Any emotional upset or psychosexual problem should be elicited tactfully
• Use of steroidal contraceptives or IUCD insertion should be enquired.
• History of abnormal bleeding from the injury site, epistaxis, gum bleeding, or that suggestive of PID should be
enquired.
HISTORY
17.
18.
19. Excessive weight gain
• Look for signs of PCOS: Hirsutism & acne
• Sign of thyroid disease & evidence of insulin resistance
In suspected bleeding disorder
• Look for petechiae, ecchymosis, skin pallor or swollen joints
• In a suspected case of thrombocytopenic purpura, tourniquet test is performed
Pelvic Examination
• Bimanual examination including speculum examination to assess the size and
contour of the uterus
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
20. LAB EVALUATION
A complete blood count (CBC) is recommended for women with AUB to
look for anemia
It is recommended to perform a sensitive urine pregnancy test whenever
indicated, or if pregnancy is suspected.
Bleeding time, platelet count, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin
time are recommended in all adolescents and in adults with a positive
screen for coagulopathies. Further testing for von Willebrand disease,
ristocetin cofactor activity, factor VIII activity, and von Willebrand factor
antigen is recommended in consultation with a hematologist.
TSH test is done when clinically indicated
21. LAB EVALUATION
Imaging Recommendations on imaging
Ultrasonography is mandatory in AUB to evaluate uterus, adnexa and
endometrial thickness
Doppler ultrasonography: In suspected arteriovenous malformation,
malignancy cases and to differentiate between fibroid and adenomyomas
Hysteroscopy: For diagnosis and characterization of intrauterine
abnormalities
MRI: To differentiate between fibroids and adenomyomas and for mapping
exact location of fibroids while planning conservative surgery and prior to
therapeutic embolization for fibroids
Endometrial Biopsy – to rule out endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial
cancer
Suggested for women > 40 years old who have the risk factors such as
obesity & diabetes.
23. Rest is advised during bleeding phase. Assurance and sympathetic
handling are helpful particularly in adolescents. Anemia should be
corrected energetically by diet, hematinics, and even by blood
transfusion.
General
24. Medical
• Hormones: With the introduction of potent orally active progestins, they became
the mainstay in the management of DUB in all age groups and practically replaced
the isolated use of estrogens and androgens.
• Progestins: The common preparations used are norethisterone acetate and
medroxyprogesterone acetate
• Progestins have an antiestrogenic action
• The preparations are used:
• Cyclic therapy
• Continuous therapy
• To stop bleeding and regulate the cycle : Norethisterone preparations (5 mg
tab) are used thrice daily till bleeding stops, which it usually does by 3–7 days.
25. • In ovular bleeding: Any low dose combined oral pills are
effective when given from 5th to 25th day of cycle for 3
consecutive cycles. It causes endometrial atrophy
• It suppress the hypothalamo-pituitary axis
• Normal menstruation is expected to resume with restoration of
normally functioning pituitary–ovarian-endometrial axis
• It serves as a contraceptive as well.
Cyclic Therapy
26. • In ovular bleeding, where the patient wants pregnancy or in cases of irregular shedding or
irregular ripening of the endometrium, dydrogesterone (oral progestogen) 1 tab (10 mg) daily or
twice a day from 15th to 25th day may cure the state.
• This regimen is less effective than 5th to 25th day course. However, it does not suppress
ovulation.
• In anovular bleeding: Cyclic progestogen preparation of medroxyprogesterone
acetate (MPA) 10 mg or norethisterone 5 mg is used from 5th to 25th day of cycle for
3 cycles.
Cyclic Therapy
27. Continuous Therapy (progesterone)
• Progestins also inhibit pituitary gonadotropin secretion and
ovarian hormone production. Medroxyprogesterone acetate 10
mg thrice daily is given and treatment is usually continued for
at least 90 days.
28. Intrauterine progestogen: Levonorgestrel intrauterine
system (LNG-IUS)
• Induce endometrial glandular atrophy, stromal decidualization and endometrial
cell inactivation. It is effective for 5 years.
• It has minimal systemic absorption. Reduction of blood loss is up to 97
percent. In addition to its many other health benefits it is an effective
contraceptive measure.
• LNGIUS is recommended as a first line therapy for a woman with HMB in the
absence of any structural or histological abnormality.
29. Other drugs
• Mifepristone
• Anti-fibrinolytic agents – eg. tranexamic acid
• GnRH agonists
• Desmopressin – use for clotting disorder
• NSAIDS – Mefenamic Acid
30. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF DUB
• Uterine curettage
• Hysterectomy
• Endometrial Ablation (however
endometrial hyperplasia must be rule
out first by endometrial biopsy
31. Uterine Curettage
• It is done predominantly as a diagnostic tool for elderly women but at
times, it has got hemostatic and therapeutic effect by removing the
necrosed and unhealthy endometrium.
• It should be done following ultrasonography for detection of
endometrial pathology.
• The indication is an urgent one, if the bleeding is acyclic and where
endometrial pathology is suspected. Ideally hysteroscopy and directed
biopsy should be considered both for the purpose of diagnosis and
therapy.
32. Hysterectomy
• Hysterectomy is justified when the conservative treatment fails or contraindicated and
the blood loss impairs the health and quality of life.
• Presence of endometrial hyperplasia and atypia on endometrial histology is an
indication for hysterectomy.
• The decision can be made easily as the patient is approaching 40.
• Hysterectomy may be done depending on the route by vaginal, abdominal, or
laparoscopic assisted vaginal method.
• In this regard, the factors to consider are: uterine size, mobility, descent, previous
surgery, and presence of comorbidities (obesity, diabetes, heart disease, or
hypertension).
• Healthy ovaries may be preserved at the time of hysterectomy especially those under
45 years of age.

Editor's Notes
Menorrhagia occurs in 9-14% of healthy women.
Most common Gyn disorder of reproductive age women
Primary amenorrhea:
No menses by age 13
No secondary sexual development
No menses by age 15
Secondary sexual development present
Pathophysiology The physiological mechanism of hemostasis in normal menstruation are: (1) Platelet adhesion formation. (2) Formation of platelet plug with fibrin to seal the bleeding vessels. (3) Localized vasoconstriction. (4) Regeneration of endometrium. (5) Biochemical mechanism involved are: In increased endometrial ratio of PGF2α/PGE2. PGF2α causes vasoconstriction and reduces bleeding. Progesterone increases the level of PGF2α from arachidonic acid. Levels of endothelin, which is a powerful vasoconsinctor is also increased. In anovulatory DUB, there is decreased synthesis of PGF2α and the ratio of PGF2α/PGE2 is low.
Anovulatory cycles are usually not associated with dysmenorrhea as the level of PGF2α is low. Women with menorrhagia have low level of thromboxane in the endometrium. The endometrial abnormalities may be primary or secondary to incoordination in the hypothalamopituitary-ovarian axis. It is thus more prevalent in extremes of reproductive period—adolescence and premenopause or following childbirth and abortion. Emotional influences, worries, anxieties, or sexual problems sometimes are enough to disturb the normal hormonal balance.
