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
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
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
3. Look at yourself, the muscles, bones and the skin
are all made of cells, whose structure and
functions are determined by millions of proteins
in you.
The instructions for making all these proteins are "written" in a cell’s
DNA in the form of genes.
The central dogma of molecular biology
describes the two-step process:
1. Transcription
2. Translation
Thus information in genes flows into proteins:
DNA → RNA → protein
4. Transcription :is the synthesis of an RNA copy of a
segment of DNA.
mRNA (messenger RNA) is synthesized by the
enzyme RNA polymerase.
Translation: This mRNA comes out from cell
nucleus and goes to Ribosomes (protein making
factories).
Information in mRNA is decoded by ribosomes
and specific Amino acids are picked up from
cytoplasm and assembled to form polypeptides
which later fold into active protein to perform its
function
Two main process in protein synthesis (making)
Translation
5. Chemical Structures and Functions of Nucleic Acids
• Nucleic acids are polymers specialized for the storage,
transmission, and use of genetic information.
• They carry information inside the cells just as a disk in a computer
• DNA = deoxyribonucleic acid
• RNA = ribonucleic acid
• Nucleic acids are composed of monomers called nucleotides.
• Nucleotides consist of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a
nitrogen-containing base.
• Molecules made of pentose sugar + nitrogenous base BUT No
phosphate is called nucleoside
6. Chemical Structures and Functions of Nucleic Acids
• Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA): makes up
hereditary material of the cell (genes) and
contains instructions for making proteins
and RNA
• Ribonucleic acid (RNA): used in processes
that link amino acids to form polypeptides
• Pentose sugar:
• DNA = deoxyribonucleic acid (contains
deoxyribose)
• RNA = ribonucleic acid (contains ribose)
7. RNA and DNA:
Complementary base pairing can also
occur between DNA & RNA
C + G will still pair,
A will pair with U instead of T
8. • The “backbone” of DNA and RNA is a chain of sugars and phosphate
groups, bonded by a condensation reaction - phosphodiester linkages.
Chemical Structures and Functions of Nucleic Acids
The phosphate groups link
carbon 3′ in one sugar to
carbon 5′ in another sugar.
11. PROTEINS
Proteins are linear polymers made with
more than 20 different amino acids
Amino acids contain a basic amino group (-
NH2) and an acidic Carboxyl group (-
COOH) so they function as both base
(amino because it takes H) and acid
(carboxyl because it gives H).
The unique character of each amino acid is
determined by the nature of the R group
12. There are genetic codes for specific Amino acids
GENETIC CODE SPECIFIES 20 AMINO ACIDS (AA):
• All 20 Amino acids are encoded by nucleotide triplets
called codons
• Codon is a 3 letter genetic code (AUG)
• Genetic codon is Redundant meaning several AA are
specified by multiple codons
Slides prepared by Dr.Lakshmi
13. Structure of Amino acids
All Amino acids are monomers of protein.
All amino acids have two functional groups attached to the
carbon (alpha - α carbon):
carboxyl (COOH) and 2. amino groups (NH2)
The α carbon atom is asymmetrical because it is bonded to four
different atoms/groups
The side chains or R-groups also have functional groups.
Hydrogen
14. Slide 14
• A condensation reaction (loss of water) forms a peptide bond
between two amino acids
• The N-terminus and the C-terminus are separated from each other at
each amino acid, but the N-terminus is made to firmly bind to the C-
terminus of another amino acid and the C-terminus to the N-
terminus of another amino acid.
• The important point is that the bond itself is in the same format as –
COOH vs. NH2 – both right and left. This results in a peptide bond of
(the amide group)-CONH-.
Formation of Peptide Bonds
The peptide bond is inflexible—no rotation is possible.
15. • Dipeptide: a molecule containing two amino acids joined by a
peptide bond.
• Tripeptide: a molecule containing three amino acids joined by
peptide bonds.
• An oligopeptide, or peptide (oligo-, "a few"), consists of two
to twenty amino acids and can include dipeptides,
tripeptides, tetrapeptides, and pentapeptides.
• Polypeptide: a macromolecule containing many amino acids
joined by peptide bonds(more than 50).
• Protein: a biological macromolecule of molecular weight 5000
g/mol or greater, consisting of one or more polypeptide
chains.
Different types of peptides
16. Slide 16
Break down of Peptide Bonds
• A dehydration reaction occurs when two monomers bond
together through the loss of a water molecule
17. There are four levels of protein structure
• The shape of the protein determines
its function.
• protein part with many nonpolar
amino acids tend to fold into the
interior of the protein
• Primary = sequence of Amino acids
• Secondary = forms pleated sheet,
helix, or coil
• Tertiary = entire length of Amino
acids folded into a shape
• Quaternary = several amino acids
sequences linked together
18.
19. Functions of Proteins
1. •Enzymes—catalytic proteins (speed up the biochemical
reactions
2. Defensive proteins (e.G., Antibodies)
3. • signaling proteins - control physiological processes
(hormones)
4. Membrane transporters – regulate passage of substances
across cellular membranes
5. Receptor proteins—receive and respond to molecular signals
6. •Storage proteins store amino acids for later use
7. • Structural proteins provide physical stability and movement.
8. • Transport proteins carry substances within the organism
(e.G., Hemoglobin).
9. • Genetic regulatory proteins regulate when, how, and to what
extent a gene is expressed.
