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

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. ANATOMY OF UVEA
Middle VASCULAR coat
of eyeball
Divided into 3 parts
Iris
Ciliary body
Choroid
Diameter- 12 mm
Pupil -opening in centre
, comparable to the
diaphragm of camera
3. IRIS
Iris - attached peripherally to
the middle of the anterior
surface of ciliary body
Thickness of iris
Least at IRIS ROOT- 0.5 mm
Maximum at collaterate 1.5
mm
Clinical importance-
IRIDODIALYSIS
During blunt trauma, damage
to the iris occurs most
commonly at the iris root,
where the iris rips away from
the ciliary body
4. ANTERIOR SURFACE OF IRIS
Ciliary zone- 1.6 mm wide
Crypts-where superficial
layer of iris is missing ,
central and peripheral
Contraction furrow
Pupillary Zone between
collarette and Pupillary
frill.(highly pigmented d/t
extension of posterior
pigment epithelium ,
represents anterior end of
optic cup)
5. MICROSCOPIC STRUCTURE
Iris consist of 4 layers from anterior to posterior
1.Anterior limiting layer
2.Iris Stroma
3.Anterior Pigmented Epithelium-give rise to dilator pupillae muscle
4.Posterior Pigmented Epithelium
6.
7. CILIARY BODY
Continuation of choroid at Ora
Serrata
Anterior side-part of angle and
posterior chamber, attachment to iris
Outer side lies against sclera with
suprachoroidal space in between
Inner side divided into two parts.The
anterior part (2 mm) with finger-like
processes is known as pars plicata
(corona ciliaris) and the posterior
smooth (4 mm) is known as pars
plana (orbicularis ciliaris).
8. LAYERS OF CILIARY BODY
1.SUPRACILIARY LAMINA-
pigmented collagen fibres,
continuation of suprachoroidal
lamina and anteriorly continues as
Anterior limiting membrane of
IRIS
2.STROMA OF CILIARY BODY
3.PIGMENTED EPITHELIUM- cont
of RPE, anteriorly cont asAnterior
pigmented epithelium of iris
4.NON PIGMENTED EPITHELIUM
cont of Sensory retina , anteriorly
cont as Posterior pigmented
epithelium of iris
5.INTERNAL LIMITING
MEMBRANE
9. CHOROID
Choroid Extends from Optic Disc to Ora Serrrata
1. SUPRACHOROIDAL LAMINA
2. STROMA OF CHOROID
3. CHORIOCAPILLARIES
4. BASAL LAMINA(BRUCH’S MEMBRANE/ LAMINAVITRA)
10. BLOOD SUPPLY
Short Posterior Ciliary arteries- 2 trunks from ophthalmic artery.
Each divides into 10 to 20 branches.
These branches pierce the sclera near optic nerve to supply the choroid in a segmental
manner.
Long posterior ciliary arteries- Nasal andTemporal, pierce the sclera on medial and
lateral side of optic nerve.They run forward in the suprachoroidal space, reach the
ciliary muscle.
At the anterior end they anastomose with each other and anterior ciliary arteries to
form the MAJOR ARTERIAL CIRCLE. Branches from this supply the ciliary
muscle.(each branch for each process)
Many branches from MAJOR arterial circle run through the iris towards the pupillary
margin and anastomose with each other- MINOR ARTERIAL CIRCLE
Anterior Ciliary arteries- Derived from the muscular branches of ophthalmic
arteries.7 in number, 2 from MR, SR, IR and 1 from LR.
Pass anteriorly in the episclera, give branches to Conjunctiva, limbus and sclera.
Pierce the sclera to anastomose with posterior cilary arteries Near the ROOT OF IRIS.
11. ANTERIOR UVEITIS
Definition: It is inflammation of anterior uveal
tract i.e, iris &anterior part of cilliary body
(pars plicata)
It is the mc form of uveitis
13. A. Anatomical Classification – (IUSG)
International Uveitis Study Group
1) Anterior Uveitis – Inflammation of iris and
anterior part of ciliary body.
2) Intermediate Uveitis – Involvement of
posterior part of ciliary body and extreme
periphery of retina. (Pars planitis)
3) Posterior uveitis – Retinochoroiditis,
choroiditis, retinitis, chorioretinitis
4) Diffuse or pan uveitis – Involvement of
entire uveal tract
14. B. Clinical Classification -
1) Acute – sudden symptomatic onset.
Persists for 3 weeks or less.
2) Chronic – Frequently insidious and
asymptomatic. Persists for months or years.
3) Recurrent
15. C. Etiological Classification
In most of the cases, probably, allergy is the cause.
1) Exogenous-
Introduction of organism into the eye through a perforating wound or ulcer.
2) Secondary infection-
Due to direct spread from adjoining structures-
Cornea
Sclera
Retina
3) Endogenous
4) Allergic inflammation: Result of an antigen-antibody reaction occurring in the eye
due to previous sensitization of uveal tissue to some allergen.The allergen is a foreign
protein.
Most of the cases of iridocyclitis do not have any specific cause and are probably
allergic in nature.
5) Auto-immune -
Immune disorders
e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter’s syndrome, Behcet’s
Syndrome.
16. Granulomatous Non-
granulomatous
1. Aetiology Organismal

18. SYMPTOMS
PAIN-
Dull aching
Worse at night
Referred along branches of trigeminal nerve
towards forehead &scalp
Redness –Hyperemia of anterior cilliary arteries
Decreased vision –Mild reduction
Factors responsible are: -corneal edema
- Aqueous flare&cells
- cilliary spasm (myopia)
- pupillary membrane
- complicated cataract
-cyclitic membrane
- vitreous exudates
- macular edema
Photophobia
Lacrimation
19. SIGNS
Lid oedema
Circumcorneal
congestion with
purplish hue due
to involvement of
deeper vessels
20. Corneal signs
1.Corneal oedema: Raised IOP /Toxins
2.Keratic precipitates (KPs)
-Nutrition of corneal endothelium is affected due to toxins
-Corneal endothelium becomes sticky and edematous
-Cells desquamated at places
-Inflammatory cells stick to endothelial layer as cellular deposits .
3. Posterior corneal opacity
21. Anterior chamber signs
1. Aqueous cells. It is an early feature of iridocyclitis.
– = 0 cells,
+0.5 = 1–5 cells,
+1 = 6–10 cells,
+2 = 11-20 cells,
+3 = 21–50 cells, and
+4 = over 50 cells
2. Aqueous flare. It is due to leakage of protein particles into the aqueous humour
from damaged blood vessels. It is demonstrated on the slit lamp examination by a
point beam of light passed obliquely to the plane of iris.
Grade :
0 = no aqueous flare,
+1 = just detectable;
+2 = moderate flare with clear iris details;
+3 = marked flare (iris details not clear);
+4 = intense flare (fixed coagulated aqueous
with considerable fibrin).
3. Hypopyon. When exudates are heavy and thick, they settle down in lower part of the
anterior chamber as hypopyon (sterile pus in the anterior chamber)
4. Hyphaema (blood in the anterior chamber): It may
be seen in haemorrhagic type of uveitis.
23. IRIS SIGNS
1..Loss of normal pattern
Acute-Edema+waterlogging
Chronic-Atrophy
2.Change in colour –
Acute-muddy
Chronic-hyperpigmented /depigmented
3.Nodules-Koeppes nodules
Bussaca nodules
4.Posterior Synechiae-segmental
-annular-360 adhesions these prevents circulation of
aqueous humor from posterior to anterior chamber causing seclusio pupil
lae,aqueous collects behind iris &pushes it anteriorly leading to IRIS BOMBE
formation
5.Neovascularisation of Iris
24.
