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

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!
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

3. Objectives
The participant will be able to :
1. Discuss the principles and management of
wound repair.
2. Explain local anesthesia
concepts, pharmacology and possible
complications.
3. Perform simple interrupted suture technique.
4. discuss suture material choices and wound
healing processes
12. Wound Cleansing
Preparation
• Hand washing
• Hair removal
• Anesthesia
• Removal of gross foreign material
• Immersion/soaking
• Irrigation
13. Practical Suture Hints
• Comfort for you and patient
• Adequate lighting
• Usually sew toward yourself
• Where to begin? Side of wound, middle,
• landmarks
• Flap? – enter flap first
18. Wound Irrigation
• NSS 100-300 ml preferred
• Most effective to remove debride
• Use splash shield or 4X4 gauze
• High volume
• Low pressure
19. Suture Selection
• Small needles – fine repairs, e.g. face
• Larger needles – bigger bites
• More zeros (6-0) – smaller, thin suture
• Smaller suture – less tensile strength
20. Suture Classifications
• Absorbable
Chromic, Vicryl, Dexon
Digested by body enzymes or
Hydrolyzed by tissue fluids
• Non-absorbable
Ethilon, Monosof, Prolene, Silk
Encapsulated or walled off
21. Absorbable Suture
• Chromic, Dexon, Vicryl
• Below the skin
• Special areas – inside the mouth
• Situations where later removal difficult
• Eliminate trauma of suture removal
27. Skin Suture Placement
• Close wound in segments
• Sutures equidistant from skin edge on either side
• of wound
• Evert skin edges
• Wound margins loosely approximated
• Repeatedly bisect the wound
28. “Wound edges should be
approximated, not
strangulated!”
• Too tight = tissue necrosis
• Too loose = edges not aligned
30. Key Steps
• Initiate tie with surgeon’s knot
• Tighten the knot so it lays flat
• Second throw in opposite direction
• Two additional throws to secure knot
31.
32. Suture Removal
• Face/Neck 3 - 5 days
• Scalp 7 – 10 days
• Joints 10 - 14 days
• Back/Feet 10 - 14 days
33. Steri-strips
• Helpful for surface laceration
• Non-motion areas
• Avoid areas prone to getting wet
• Can use with sutures or derma bond
• Use Benzoin to provide additional adhesive
34. Tissue Glue Key Points
• Identify appropriate wound type
• Cleanse and dry wound area
• Apply three or four layers of tissue glue
• Dry between each layer to bond skin edges
35. Dermabond
• Possible for 1/3 of ED visits
• Low tension areas e.g. face, trunk
• Children, facial lacerations
• Straight, superficial lacerations
