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

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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.

Ancillary material for packaging
1. Dr. Anil M.Pethe
SEMINAR ON
Ancillary Materials Required for
Packaging
Shobhaben Pratapbhai Patel School of Pharmacy & Technology Management,
SVKM’S NMIMS, Mumbai
2. Introduction
o In packaging, ancillaries cover a large group of
products and play a vital role towards
completeness of a package.
o Quantum and volume-wise, though ancillary
materials have a smaller visible percentage of the
total packages used, nevertheless, their absence or
inadequacy may impair the performance of a
package–functionally, aesthetically and statutorily.
o In the case of packages, which come directly in
contact with the pharmaceutical product, the
safety aspects that apply to the primary package
also apply to the ancillary materials.
3. Functions of Ancillary Material
The ancillary materials along with the primary
packaging materials
provide product–package compatibility,
product preservation and
protection, containment, identification,
consumer convenience and consumer
protection.
4. Ancillary Material Required for
Packaging
o Adhesives,
o Printing inks,
o Labels,
o Caps and closures
o Reinforcement materials such as tapes and
straps.
5. Adhesives
o Adhesive bonding is the process of uniting materials
with the aid of an adhesive, a substance capable of
holding such materials together by surface
attachment.
o Polymers are widely used as adhesives because of
their versatility.
o The primary function of adhesives is to join parts
together.
o Adhesives do this by transmitting stress from one
member to another in a manner that distributes the
stress much more uniformly than can be achieved
with conventional mechanical fasteners.
7. Waterborne Adhesives:
o This is the oldest, and still, by far, the largest volume class of
adhesive used in packaging.
o These adhesives share the general advantages of ease and safety
of handling, energy efficiency, low cost, and high strength.
o Classified into two categories - natural and synthetic.
o Natural waterborne adhesives include starch, protein, animal
glue, casein and natural rubber latex. The largest class of natural
adhesive is based on starch.
o Synthetic waterborne adhesives are the most broadly used class
of adhesives in general packaging.
o Almost all are resin emulsions, specifically polyvinyl acetate
emulsions – stable suspensions of polyvinyl acetate particles in
water.
8. Hot–melt Adhesives
o Hot-melt adhesives have been the fastest growing important
class of adhesives in packaging for the last 25 years.
o Most of the volume goes into high-speed large-volume case
and carton-sealing.
o Hot melts can be defined as 100% solids adhesive based on
thermoplastic polymers that are applied when heated in the
molten state and set to form a bond on cooling & solidification.
o Their chief attraction is the extremely rapid rate of bond
formation, which can translate into high production rates on a
packaging line.
o The backbone of any hot-melt is a thermoplastic polymer.
o Most widely used material is the co-polymer of Ethylene and
Vinyl Acetate (EVA).
9. Solvent – borne Adhesives
o Solvent-borne adhesives find use in specialized applications
where waterborne or hot-melt systems do not meet the
technical requirements.
o Rubber-resin solutions are still used as pressure-sensitive
adhesives for labels and tapes.
o However, factors of cost, safety, productivity and above all,
compliance with clean-air law have led to a strong movement
towards waterborne or hot-melt alternatives.
o Solvented polyurethane adhesives are widely used in flexible
packaging for the lamination of plastic films.
o These multilayer film constructions find application in bags,
pouches.
10. Printing Inks
o Printing inks are coloured liquids or pastes,
formulated to transfer and reproduce an image
from a printing surface.
o They are used mainly to convey a message and
provide protection; however, they also can give a
decorative effect to the substrate to which they are
applied.
o Printing inks are used on a wide range of papers,
boards, plastic, glass and textiles surface in flat and,
in some instances, preformed shapes.
11. Raw Materials in Ink
o Pigments and dyestuffs together are probably the most
important items in printing ink formulation, as they convey the
visual identity of an ink and invariably contribute the major
component.
o The vehicle acts as a carrier for the pigments and other
modifiers in the ink.
o Resins, varnishes and oils are added to improve the printing
performance.
o Solvents are normally used to disperse the liquid part of the
printed ink, which is added to adjust the viscosity of the ink or
control the drying speed of specific printing inks.
o The other ink additives are plasticizers, driers, waxes,
antioxidants, surfactants and wetting agents.
12. Types of Inks used in Printing
o UV and Water based Inks
and Coatings
o Toluene Free Inks
o Universal Ink Concept
o Thermochromic Inks
o Fresh Check System
13. UV and Water based Inks and Coatings
o Increase in the production speed and the pressure for
the ecological cleaner system has led to water based
and radiation cure technology in place of
conventional system.
o The main driving force for the change is the
possibility of printing on a wide range of substrates
which was not previously possible to be printed with
conventional inks.
14. Toluene Free Inks
o The flexo printing process is growing world-wide. The
latest generation of flexo processes are coming into
the market.
o Various ink technologies are now available covering all
flexo segments like PE films, plastic films packaging,
foils, etc.
o The ink manufacturers are constantly improving and
adopting the flexo ink technology.
o One significant technology change, which is taking
place, is the shift from toluene based inks to toluene
free inks. The toluene free inks are based on
alcohol/acetate solvent combination.
15. Universal Ink Concept
o Universal ink concept has been developed for
flexible packaging using gravure and flexo
processes.
o The highlights of Universal ink systems are:
Very low solvent retention in the print
Trouble free running at maximum speed e.g. 450
mts/min
Instant adhesion on substrates like co-extruded BOPP,
OPA, PE, PET (plain, treated, primerised).
16. Thermochromic Inks
o There has been development of
thermochromic inks in the context of
time/temperature indicators, particularly in
the food, storage and transportation sectors of
the industry.
o A range of chemithermal flexographic inks that
react to a range of measured doses of either
light, heat or infrared radiation once laid down
into label form have been developed.
o The reaction was from clear to black over
specific ranges, i.e. up to 75°C, 90°C or 125°C.
17. Fresh Check System
o Firstly, in the food labeling industry ‘Fresh Check’
system of printing a ‘bull’s-eye’ onto the label, the
centre of which fills as the product life elapses, is
developed.
o Labels are pre-programmed to specific time-
temperature gradients and are kept under dry ice
until labeling onto the product occurs.
o Secondly, a range of printed labels designed for the
storage and distribution sector are produced.
o These changes from silver to black within one second
when the target temperature is reached and are
supplied for the ranges of 38-49°C and 65-125°C.
18. Adhesive Tapes
o An adhesive tape is composed of a backing element
in a long strip upon which an adhesive is applied.
o Its function is to attach the carrier backing to some
secondary surface.
o The attachment is made by activating the adhesive
with solvent, heat or finger pressure.
o Tapes are used for holding, bundling, sealing,
protecting, reinforcing, colour identification and box
closing.
19. Adhesive Tapes (Cont.)
o Gummed tapes, stamps, etc are the most commonly known
variety of solvent – activated tape, that is, the adhesive is
activated by wetting with water.
o For certain industrial application, an organic solvent activated
adhesive is used.
o A second type of adhesive tape is the thermoplastic or heat
activated variety. In this construction, the adhesive is made
sticky by the use of heat and pressure.
o The most rapidly growing line of adhesive tapes is the pressure
sensitive variety.
o This type of tape can be applied with hand pressure in the
absence of solvent or heat and sticks aggressively to most
common surfaces. Because of its extreme ease of application, it
has gained wide acceptance.
20. Pressure Sensitive Tape
o In such tapes, adhesives are composed of a rubbery type
elastomer combined with a liquid or solid resin tackifier
component.
o A mixture of resin may be used to provide a balance of
properties.
o Pressure sensitive tape is used for closing boxes, combining
packages, attaching packaging lists, colour coding, pallet
unitizing, adding carrying handles, splicing, providing ease of
package opening, protecting labels, reinforcing critical package
components, holding documents, besides a variety of other jobs.
o There are hundreds of specialty tapes available for specific
applications in packaging.
o The common theme is a backing material coated with an
adhesive that adheres with a light touch without a need for
activating solvent or heat.
21. Box-sealing Tape:
o The largest use of pressure-sensitive
tape in packaging is the closure of
regular slotted containers.
o A plastic film is coated on one side
with a pressure sensitive adhesive.
o The film may have a release treatment on one
side to allow easy removal of the tape from the
roll during dispensing.
o Some film backings also are treated or coated on
the adhesive side to increase the bond of the
adhesive to the backing.
22. Filament Tapes:
o A second broad category of packaging tape is pressure
sensitive filament tape, sometimes known as “strapping tape”.
o Filament tape is typically made of a film backing (polyester or
polypropylene) with reinforcing filaments embedded in the
pressure-sensitive adhesive.
o The most common filament is fibre glass, which provides a
high tensile strength with very little elongation.
o A few tapes have polyester or rayon filaments for extra impact
or cut resistance.
o Tapes are also available with integral polymeric filaments.
o The adhesive requirements for filament tapes are as critical as
those of box-sealing tapes. Care should be taken to choose a
tape with a balance of tack and shear-holding power.
23. Film Tapes
o Polymeric films have found numerous
applications as tape and label backings.
o The properties inherent in polymeric films
(impermeability, thinness, smooth surface, good
dielectric properties and inertness) are reserved
for many electrical, packaging and decorative
applications.
24. Strapping Materials
o Strapping is generally the last
but a key step in the packaging
operation.
o Strappings are normally used for
reinforcing, baling, palletising,
unitising, bundling and tying.
o It is very useful in brace
shipments of goods during
transit.
25. Types of Strapping Materials
o Metallic
• Round Wires
• Steel Straps (Bands)
o Non – metallic
• Polyester
• Nylon
• Polyolefin
