Recent advancements have been made in antidepressant drugs. Vilazodone was approved in 2011 and targets the serotonin transporter and 5-HT1A receptors. Levomilnacipran was approved in 2013 and potently inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. Desipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, is under investigation and selectively blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine while also inhibiting serotonin reuptake. Escitalopram was approved in 2002 and causes an increase in serotonin levels by preventing its reuptake. These drugs demonstrate improved mechanisms of action for the treatment of depression.

BREVE PREMESSA
La farmacogenetica studia l’influenza dei fattori genetici sull’attività di un farmaco, la sua assimilazione e il suo metabolismo allo scopo di massimizzarne l’efficacia terapeutica e minimizzare gli effetti avversi. I fattori genetici possono giustificare fino al 95% della variabilità interpersonale nella risposta e nelle reazioni avverse a determinati trattamenti farmacologici. Finora la diagnosi ed il trattamento farmacologico in psichiatria si sono basati principalmente sul un protocollo ‘trial and error’ tramite colloquio, osservazione clinica e analisi di laboratorio costituivano esclusivamente un complemento per valutare possibili effetti collaterali o i livelli plasmatici di alcuni farmaci. L’introduzione di test di farmacogenetica consente di fornire al clinico informazioni costitutive dell’individuo relativamente al metabolismo di molti farmaci e la potenziale risposta in determinati contesti clinici al fine di ridurre i tempi ottenimento del trattamento efficace personalizzato e arricchire con le più recenti informazioni genetiche la gestione terapeutica dei pazienti.
OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI
Introdurre i principi scientifici alla base del test genetico che si presenterà durante il corso, il significato, la funzione e la rilevanza clinica per la salute mentale di ciascun gene indagato dal test;
L’utilità clinica del test Genecept: presentare come vengono riportati i risultati del test e come meglio interpretarli;
Presentare alcuni casi clinici reali per discutere circa l’utilità di un trattamento farmacologico guidato dai risultati del test genetico rispetto all’approccio tradizionale ‘trial and error’

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

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!

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

3. WHAT IS DEPRESSION?(RANG AND DALE'S PHARMACOLOGY)
Depression is a common illness worldwide, with an
estimated 3.8% of the population affected, including 5.0%
among adults and 5.7% among adults older than 60 years.
Approximately 280 million people in the word have
depression (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-
sheets/detail/depression).
Depression is a heterogeneous disorder, with patients
presenting with one or more core symptoms.
Depression is may range from a very mild condition,
bordering on normality, to severe (psychotic) depression
accompanied by hallucinations and delusions.

4. Depression is associated with other psychiatric conditions, including anxiety,
eating disorders, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease and drug addiction.
There are two distinct types of depressive syndrome:
• Mood changes are always in the same direction.
• Commonly about 75% of cases.
• Associated with stressful life events, and usually
accompanied by symptoms of anxiety and agitation.
UNIPOLAR
DEPRESSION
• Depression alternates with mania.
• Usually appears in early adult life.
• Less common and results in oscillating depression and
mania over a period of a few weeks.
BIPOLAR
DEPRESSION

5. SYMPTOMS
5
Low mood
Excessive rumination of negative thought
Low self-esteem: feelings of guilt, inadequacy and
ugliness
Loss of motivation
Loss of reward
Loss of libido
Sleep disturbance
Loss of appetite
Weight loss
Overreacting
6. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DEPRESSION
Depression cannot be attributed to altered neuronal activity within a single
brain region.
Brain imaging studies have indicated that the prefrontal cortex, amygdala and
hippocampus may all be involved in different components of these disorders.
Pathophysiology of depression pathway involves the hypothalamic–pituitary–
adrenal axis-activated by stress Enhances the excitotoxic action of
glutamate, mediated by NMDA receptors and switches on the expression of
genes that promote neural apoptosis in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
6
8. TREATMENT(PRINCIPLES OF PHARMACOLOGY: THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC BASIS OF DRUG THERAPY, 2011)
The targets involved in antidepressive pathways are monoamines-
noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), which act on G protein–
coupled receptors, and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which
acts on a kinase-linked receptor (TrkB)
Antidepressive drugs acts on the target and results in switching of genes that
protect neurons against apoptosis and also promote neurogenesis.

RECENT ADVANCES IN ANTIDEPRESSANT DRUGS
1. VILAZODONE (Wang et al, 2016)
Year of approval-January 21,2011
Traget-5-HT transporter and 5-HT1A receptors
Mechanism of Action: Vilazodone increases serotonin levels in the brain by inhibiting the reuptake of
serotonin while acting as a partial agonist on serotonin-1A receptors. Due to this activity vilazodone has
sometimes been referred to as a selective partial agonist and reuptake inhibitor (SPARI).
Absorption: 72% when taken with food
Protein binding-96-99%
Half-life- 25 hrs
Metabolism- Vilazodone is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450(CYP)3A4 and also to a minor extent by
CYP2C19 and CYP 2D6.
Route of elimination: 1% of the dose is recovered unchanged in the urine and 2% of the dose is recovered
unchanged in the feces.
Adverse effects: Vomiting, Hallucination, Fainting, Tremors, Thirst, Weakness
Contraindicated in pregnancy
13. 2. LEVOMILNACIPRAN (Bruno et al, 2016)
Year of approval- July 25, 2013
Traget-5-HT and Norepinephrine
Mechanism of Action: Levomilnacipran potently binds with human serotonin (5-HT) and
norepinephrine (NE) transporters and inhibit 5-HT and NE reuptake.
Absorption: 92% for extended-release capsule
Protein binding- 22%
Half-life- 12 hrs
Metabolism- Levomilnacipran undergoes desethylation in the liver to form desethyl levomilnacipran
and hydroxylation to form p-hydroxyl-levomilnacipran.
Route of elimination: 58% of the dose is excreted in urine as unchanged levomilnacipran.
Adverse effects: Decreased appetite, Heart palpitation, Nausea, Erectile dysfunction, It may increase
suicidal thoughts in some children, teenagers or young adults, particularly in the first few months
of treatment. 13
14. 3. DESIPRAMINE (Maan et al)
Under investigation
Tricyclic antidepressant
Traget-5-HT and Norepinephrine
Mechanism of Action: It is the active metabolite of imipramine, a tertiary amine TCA. Selectively
blocks reuptake of NE from the neuronal synapse. It also inhibits serotonin reuptake but to a lesser
extent. Inhibition of neurotransmitter reuptake increases stimulation of the post-synaptic neuron.
Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from gastrointestinal tract.
Protein binding- 73-92%
Metabolism- Desipramine is extensively metabolized in the liver by CYP2D6 (major) and CYP1A2
(minor) to 2-hydroxydesipramine, an active metabolite. 2-hydroxydesipramine.
Route of elimination: 70% is excreted in the urine.
Adverse effects: Blurred vision, Constipation, Fatigue, Ringing in the years, Increased heart rate
14
15. 4. ZIPRASIDONE (Nelson et al)
Year of approval- 2001
Target- 5-HT2A receptor
Mechanism of Action: Binds to multiple serotonin receptors in addition to 5-HT2A and blocks
monoamine transporters which prevents 5HT and NE reuptake.
Absorption: Rapidly absorbed from gastrointestinal tract.
Protein binding-60% and 100% if taken with meal
Metabolism- Ziprasidone is heavily metabolized in the liver with less than 5% of the drug excreted
unchanged in the urine.
Route of elimination: Extensively metabolized after oral administration with only a small amount
excreted in the urine (<1%) or feces (<4%) as unchanged drug.
Adverse effects: Muscle pain, Diarrhea, Skin rash, Cough/Runny nose, Fainting, Heart palpitations.
15
16. 5. ESCITALOPRAM (Zhong et al)
Year of approval- August, 2002
Traget-5-HT
Mechanism of Action: These agents cause an increase in serotonin levels in neuronal synapses by
preventing the re-uptake of serotonin (5-HT) into the presynaptic terminals of serotonergic
neurons.
Absorption: 80%
Protein binding- 55-56%
Half-life- 27-32 hrs
Metabolism- The metabolism of escitalopram is mainly hepatic, mediated primarily by CYP2C19 and
CYP3A4 and, to a lesser extent, CYP2D6.
Route of elimination: 8% of the total dose is eliminated in the urine as unchanged escitalopram and
10% is eliminated in the urine as S-desmethylcitalopram
Adverse effects: Heartburn, Dry mouth, Yawning, Ringing in the ears.
Contraindicated in pregnancy and in the patients taking MAO inhibitor. 16
