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!
micro teaching on communication m.sc nursing.pdfAnurag Sharma
Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
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

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

5. APPROACH
History —
Constitutional: Fever, night sweats, unintentional weight loss, fatigue
Cutaneous: Eczema, pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, rash, ulcers
Cardiac: Dyspnea, chest pain, palpitations, symptoms of heart failure
Respiratory: Nasal/sinus symptoms, wheezing, cough, chest
congestion
Gastrointestinal: Weight loss, abdominal pain, dysphagia, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, food intolerance, changes in stools
Nervous system: Transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident,
behavioral changes, confusion, balance problems, memory loss, change
in vision, numbness, weakness, pain
Other: Including symptoms attributable to lymphadenopathy or
hepatosplenomegaly (ie, new abdominal or chest discomfort, early
satiety), ocular findings, genitourinary complaints, myalgia, arthralgia,
and anaphylaxis
6. Medications – Current and past medications should be reviewed in
detail, since eosinophilia can be caused by almost any prescription or
nonprescription drug, herbal remedy, or dietary supplement
Dietary history should explore ingestion of raw or undercooked fish or
shellfish, meat, and vegetables as potential sources of parasitic infection
(eg, Trichinella, Toxocara, Paragonimus). Food allergies and self-
imposed dietary restrictions should also be explored.
Other exposures – May include infectious exposures including:
- Occupation (eg, Strongyloides infection in miners, ascariasis in
slaughterhouse workers)
- Recreational activities (eg, schistosomiasis in river rafters in endemic
areas)
- Travel or residence in countries that may be associated with infectious
exposures
Family history may be informative in rare cases of familial hematologic
7. Physical examination —
Complete skin examination and evaluation for lymphadenopathy
and hepatosplenomegaly.
Relevant physical findings include, rash, nasal/sinus findings,
signs of cardiac and/or respiratory abnormalities,
lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly/splenomegaly, or neurologic
findings.
8. Laboratory and diagnostic tests
Routine laboratory tests —
complete blood count (CBC) with differential count
chemistry panel that includes electrolytes and liver function tests
Blood smear —to assess eosinophil morphology and detect other
hematologic abnormalities
Tests for selected patients —
Cardiac troponin –in patients with AEC ≥1500/microL, cardiac
symptoms, or suggestive abnormalities on physical examination (eg,
dyspnea, fatigue, palpitations, heart murmur, cardiac dysrhythmia).
Vitamin B12 and tryptase – in patients with AEC ≥1500/microL,
abnormal blood smear, anemia or thrombocytopenia, splenomegaly, or
symptoms consistent with systemic mastocytosis (eg, urticaria,
anaphylaxis, flushing, or abdominal symptoms)
9. Imaging – a chest radiograph for patients with respiratory
symptoms (eg, dyspnea, cough, wheezing, rhinosinusitis).
atients with an unexplained infiltrate or AEC ≥1500/microL, we
suggest high resolution computed tomography (CT) and
pulmonary function tests.
Infectious evaluation – is greater in patients whose travel or
residence suggests possible exposure to parasites or other
infections
10. CLINICAL SCENARIOS
Suspected hematologic disorder — A hematologic cause should be
considered if findings from the initial evaluation do not persuasively point
toward a clear secondary cause of eosinophilia or to a characteristic
clinical syndrome (eg, eosinophilic esophagitis, episodic angioedema
with eosinophilia, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis)
Findings that should prompt testing for a hematologic disorder
Absolute eosinophil count (AEC) ≥1500/microL
Dysplastic eosinophils or leukemic blasts
Unexplained anemia, neutropenia, polycythemia, or thrombocytopenia
Elevated serum B12 or tryptase levels
Lymphocytosis (≥4000/microL)
Unexplained lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, or constitutional
symptoms
Resistance of eosinophilia to glucocorticoid therapy
11. Constitutional symptoms —
Possible causes of eosinophilia in association with constitutional
symptoms include
- Infectious, especially in the setting of appropriate travel or residency, or if
associated with gastrointestinal, respiratory, cutaneous, or other
symptoms.
- medications, especially if associated with appropriate exposure and/or
other manifestations
- Neoplastic disorders (eg, hypereosinophilic syndromes, lymphoma, solid
tumors) should be considered in patients with lymphadenopathy,
hepatomegaly, splenomegaly; anemia, thrombocytopenia
- Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, formerly called
Churg-Strauss) should be considered, especially if associated with
asthma, sinusitis, dyspnea, and/or mononeuritis multiplex.
- Autoimmune syndromes or immune dysfunction associated with
eosinophilia
12. Gastrointestinal — Eosinophilia associated with diarrhea,
abdominal pain, anorexia, or other gastrointestinal symptoms may
be due to infectious, autoimmune, or other causes.
Respiratory —Eosinophilia with cough, dyspnea, wheezing,
chronic nasal complaints, abnormal chest X-ray or computed
tomography (CT), and/or pulmonary emboli may be associated with
diverse causes, including asthma/allergies, medications,
autoimmune illnesses, infections, EGPA, and idiopathic conditions
Cutaneous manifestations (eg, rash, pruritus, dermographism,
erythroderma, thickening) can be seen in association with almost
any cause of eosinophilia (Eg atopy, medications, parasitic
infections, autoimmune/inflammatory conditions, HES and other
hematologic causes, primary immunodeficiencies)
