Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
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

No Increased Risk of Malignancies in
Alemtuzumab-Treated Patients
• Thyroid malignancy was the most frequently occurring malignancy AE
― The rate of thyroid malignancy in the alemtuzumab clinical development program was 0.073 per 100 patient-years
― Trial evidence suggests no increased risk
― Ascertainment bias may have been a factor, due to additional screening for alemtuzumab patients with thyroid AEs
― Risk not significantly different vs retrospective cohort of 32,348 MS patientsb
• Continued assessment of malignancies in long-term follow-up studies and post-marketing experience
a 0.496 events per 100 patient-years; b Standardised incidence ratio (SIR): 0.98, 95% CI: 0.44–2.19. Expected number of events

Summary of Alemtuzumab Clinical Efficacy
Phase 2 Core and Extension Study
• Alemtuzumab 12 mg vs SC IFNB-1a demonstrated superior clinical outcomes in the phase 2 core and extension period1,2
• Alemtuzumab demonstrated durable efficacy on relapse rates in the extension study through 10 years3,4
Phase 3 Core Study
• Alemtuzumab demonstrated superior clinical outcomes in both treatment-naïve patients and in patients who had an inadequate
response to prior therapy vs high-dose SC IFNB-1a5,6
• Superior efficacy with alemtuzumab treatment vs high-dose SC IFNb-1a was also demonstrated in7,8:
― Previously treated patients regardless of the type of DMT available at the time of the study and as per the in- and
exclusion criteria7,8
Extension Study
• Alemtuzumab demonstrated durable efficacy on clinical endpoints in the absence of continuous treatment9-10
― Most patients did not receive re-treatment with alemtuzumab or another DMT after the initial 2 courses in the core study
through Year 69,10
― Patients who crossed over to alemtuzumab after receiving SC IFNB-1a in the core study demonstrated significant
improvement after switching11,12

• An open-label, single-group, multicenter phase 3b/4 study to provide long-term care for patients who
have completed the CARE-MS extension study
• TOPAZ is being conducted at ~180 sites in North America, Europe, Australia, and Latin America
• The primary objective is to evaluate long-term safety of alemtuzumab
• Secondary objectives are to assess the following:
― Long-term efficacy of alemtuzumab
― The safety of receiving other DMTs after alemtuzumab treatment
― Patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes and health resource utilization of patients who received alemtuzumab
― As-needed retreatment with alemtuzumab or other DMTs
53. 53
Mechanism of IARs After Alemtuzumab Treatment
Pathogenesis and Aetiology of Cytokine-Release Syndrome
• The interaction between Alemtuzumab-bound lymphocytes and CD16+ NK cells initiates a cascade of
events that results in the release of cytokines
• Cytokine release then generates clinical signs and symptoms described as IARs
IFNɣ=interferon gamma; IL-6=interleukin 6; NK=natural killer; TNFɑ=tumour necrosis factor alpha

IAR AEs Incidence by Treatment Course
Phase 3 Core and Extension
• IAR AEs were most frequent during the first treatment course1,2
― 2% had a serious IAR AE1,2
― There were no serious IARs reported from Course 4 to 6
• <4% of Alemtuzumab patients from CARE-MS I and II who enrolled into the extension went on to receive a fifth and/or sixth course of
Alemtuzumab1,3
― 40%–50% of them experienced IARs
a Serious adverse events were defined as those that were fatal, life-threatening, required or prolonged hospitalisation, caused
persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or required intervention to prevent permanent impairment or
damage; b Includes all patients who entered the extension study from CARE-MS I, and CARE-MS II.

Alemtuzumab Infusion Management
a Pretreatment with antihistamines and/or antipyretics prior to Alemtuzumab administration may also be considered; b If an IAR
occurs, provide the appropriate symptomatic treatment, as needed. If the infusion is not well tolerated, the infusion duration may
be extended. If severe infusion reactions occur, immediate discontinuation of the intravenous infusion should be considered.

Immune Competence After Alemtuzumab
Treatment (1/2)
• All patients given the diphtheria, tetanus, and poliomyelitis vaccine had seroprotective levels of antibodies to diphtheria and tetanus
before and after vaccination
― The percentage of patients seroprotected against polio increased after the vaccination
• Post Alemtuzumab treatment, responses to diphtheria, tetanus and polio were comparable with that of controls based on GMTR
(geometric mean of individual post-/pre-vaccination titres) values
• Participants had received alemtuzumab between 1.5 and 86 months previously
• Antibodies to common viruses were measured before alemtuzumab treatment, then at 1 and 9–11 months after treatment
a Derived from published data. b Tetanus GMTR could not be calculated because the majority of patients had antibody levels above
the upper detection limits of the assay. GMTR = geometric mean of individual post-/pre-vaccination titers.

Immune Competence After Alemtuzumab
Treatment (2/2)
• The proportion of seroprotected patients increased post- vs. pre-vaccination for both Hib and Men C, with seroconversion rates of 83
and 95%, respectively
• These seroconversion rates were similar to historical controls
a Serotype 3 and 8 seroconversion rates calculated from 15 and 20 patients, respectively, as the remaining patients had antibody
titres above the upper detection limit of the assays. b From published data. c Hib seroconversion rate calculated from 19 patients
because the remaining patients had antibodies above the upper detection limit of the assay. GMTR = geometric mean of individual
post-/pre-vaccination titers.
