A 54-year-old post-menopausal woman presents with right nipple discharge. Key history factors to obtain include when the discharge started, its characteristics, associated symptoms, past breast issues or surgeries, and family history of breast disease. On examination, both breasts and axillae should be palpated for lumps or lymph nodes, and the nipple examined for discharge amount and color. Differentials to consider and rule out include intraductal papilloma, duct ectasia, fibrocystic disease, and intraductal carcinoma, which can be distinguished through ductography, cytology of discharge, and mammography if a lump is present.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac which develops in an ovary. Most ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and cause no symptoms. Some cause problems such as pain and irregular bleeding. No treatment may be needed for certain types of ovarian cysts which tend to go away on their own. For other types, a surgery may be advised to remove the cyst.

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

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.

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

2. A 54 year old post-menopausal woman presents to the OPD with right nipple
discharge.
a. What are the history and examination findings you would look for?
b. What are the differentials you will consider? How will you rule out each?
3. In History
– History of presenting complaint When did start? How did it start? How did
the patient notice? Type of discharge(serous/ blood stained/ blackish or
greenish)? Amount of discharge( scanty or excessive), Any associated symptoms
like ( presence of lump, fever ,tenderness, nipple retraction), previous similar
complaints (if yes tx done for those complaints)
– Past surgical history of breast lump (if yes , its prognosis , tx and if any
complications)
– Family history Any breast diseases in family (if yes first/ second or third
degree)
– Past Obstetrical and gynecological history
4. On examination
We should look for
1. Palpation of both breasts (affected and non affected)
2. Palpation for any lumps (if yes describe as a swelling)
3. Palpation of the nipple , surrounding skin, look for cracked nipples, eczema
,nipple areolar complex, look at discharge color, consistency and amount.
4. Palpate the axilla for any lymph nodes
5. Characteristic Features
– Solitary Intraductal Papilloma Single Breast having Clear or bloody discharge
;sometimes a small lump may be present behind or near the nipple, this lump may
be tender sometimes.
– Duct Ectasia of Breast/Mammary Duct Ectasia Usually has greenish coloured
/blackish cloured discharge; sometimes can occur as a syndrome non puerperal
mastitis + nipple inversion + nipple discharge.
– Fibrocystic Disease of breast These rarely present with clear discharge, usual
presentation of these are smooth defined edges with fibrous texture and lumpy
nature. Usual complaint of these patinets is presence of lump.
– Ductal Carcinoma Insitu usually they don’t have any symptoms found on
screening mammogram, they might present with bloody discharge with nipple
retraction lump or thickening near the breast.
6. Differentials and rule out
– Solitary Intra-ductal Papilloma
– Duct ectasia
– Fibrocystic disease of Breast
– Intraductal Carcinoma
7. – Breast ductography is an established diagnostic technique that is sometimes useful for
women who present with nipple discharges. Ductography (also called galactography or
ductogalactography) basically involves injecting a ‘contrast enhancing’ die or substance
directly into the breast ducts and then performing an X-Ray. This allows the physician to follow
the course of fluids through the ducts and determine if and where there is any blockage (or
cell block).A simple, solitary papilloma will be elicited with wart like growth , ductal ectasia
may quite easily appear as a ‘blocked duct’.
– Cytology of the discharge may also reveal presence of what type of cells, normal physiological
cells (in case of fibrocystic disease )or cancerous cells(in case of DCIS)
– Diagnostic Mammogram is rarely useful in cases of nipple discharge, mammorgram is only
useful if you have an underlying breast lump and that would justify the nipple discharge (in
case of fibrocystic disease of breast)
