Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus.
This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing)
when you breathe out and shortness of breath
Asthma is a major noncommunicable disease (NCD), affecting both children and adults, and is the most common chronic disease among children.
Inflammation and narrowing of the small airways in the lungs cause asthma symptoms, which can be any combination of cough, wheeze, shortness of breath and chest tightness.
Asthma affected an estimated 262 million people in 2019 (1) and caused 455000 deaths.

Thyroid disorders are common in pregnancy . This is potential treatable cause of bad obstetric history .Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism both should be screened for clinically as well as by laboratory tests .
Due to availability of Thyroid testing ,it is more easily diagnosed and Treated.
Hypothyroid mother if not adequately treated ,there is poor mental development of the baby.
Due to awareness more and more diagnosis is made .There should be universal screening for thyroidal illness in pregnancy .

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.
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.

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

3. Definition of Asthma
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of
the airways characterized by
1. Airway hyper responsiveness to a wide
range of stimuli
2. Airflow limitation that is usually reversible
either spontaneously or with treatment
3. Inflammation of bronchi with Eosinophils,
T lymphocytes and mast cells
4. Prevalence
One of the most commonest Chronic Diseases,
affecting 4 to 5 % of the population.
Developed countries have highest prevalence
Prevalence is increasing specially in 2nd
decade
where 10 – 15% may be affected.
20% of work force may have occupational
asthma
5. Etiology
Two factors are involved in development
1. Atopy & allergy
2. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness
PRECIPITATING FACTORS
6. 1. Atopy & allergy
1. Atopy – a group of disorders(including
Asthma & hay fever) which appear to
1. Run in families
2. Have Wealing skin reactions to common
Environmental allergens
3. Have circulating antibody that could be
transferred to the skin of non sensitized
Term best used for individuals who readily
develop IgE antibodies to Env Ag
2. Allergens – are similar to those in rhinitis
9. Precipitating factors
2. Occupational
1. Non IgE Isocynates –
varnish/spray paint
2. IgE related
1. Animals/Ab- Labs
2. Flour – mill/bakers
3. Enzymes - detergents
3. Non Specific Factors
1. Cold air & exercise
1. Occurs after exercise
2. Histamine released due to
desiccation of secretion
2. Air pollution, dust, vapors,
fumes
3. Emotion
4. Infections
1. Drugs
1. NSAIDS – aspirin/Indocid
1. 5% of Asthmatics
2. Associated nasal polyps
3. COX 1 inhibition reduced
PGE2
4. Susceptibles over
production of LTC4
occurs by E, Mast cells
2. Beta blocker
1. No direct muscle
sympathetics
2. Parasympathetic
antagonism by
epinephrine Via ß2
3. ß2 block in asthmatics
10. Pathogenesis
Asthma is a inflammatory disease
Pathogenesis is complex and involves
Inflammatory cells
Mediators
Vascular leakage
Two key components
1. Inflammation – Th2 T cell driven IgE
synthesis
2. Remodelling
11. 1. Inflammation
Key cells are(number increased)
1. Mast cells- mediators act on muscle &
vessels. IL 4, IL 9
1. Histamine
2. PGD2
3. LTC4
2. Eosinophils
1. Attracted to airways by IL3, IL 5
2. Prime eosinophil for increased secretion
3. Macrophage & lymphocytes
12. Th 2 hypothesis
T lymphocytes may differentiate into
1. Th1( γ interferon, IL 2, IL 12) - Infections
2. Th2( IL3,4,5,13) – IgE response from B cells +
+
In infancy a shift from in utero Th2 bias to
Th1 occurs to fight infections
Reduction in infection allows Th2 bias to
persist & directs immune system towards
allergic type of response
13. Th2 HYPOTHESIS OF ASTHMA
In Asthma
−↑ Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13)
−↓ Th1 cytokines (IFNγ, IL-12,IL 2)
IgE-mast cells, eosinophils,
mucus gland hyperplasia
IL- 4
IL-13
IL- 5
ASTHMA IS A
Th2 DISEASE
20. Physical Examination
