Evaluation of Effect of Low Dose Fentanyl, Dexmedetomidine and Clonidine in S...iosrjce
In the present study effect of intrathecal hyperbaric Bupivacaine 0.5% with low doses of Clonidine
or Fentanyl or Dexmedetomidine were compared in elective lower abdominal surgeries. This was a prospective
randomized control trial. 90 patients belonging to ASA 1 &II, aged between 20-50 years were allocated into
three groups. Group-C: Clonidine 30µg, Group-D: Dexmedetomidine 5 µg, Group-F: Fentanyl 25 µg. The
onset of sensory blockade was comparable in all the three groups. The onset of motor blockade was earlier by
about 1.3 mins in Dexmedetomidine group when compared to Clonidine and Fentanyl group. Duration of
sensory blockade was prolonged in Dexmedetomidine group (346mins) when compared to Clonidine (300mins)
and Fentanyl (302mins) group. Time duration of motor blockade was prolonged in Dexmedetomidine group
(269mins) when compared to Clonidine (223mins) and Fentanyl (220mins) group. The haemodynamic
parameters were clinically and statistically insignificant The time of first request for analgesics by the patients
was more in Dexmedetomidine group (250mins) when compared to Clonidine (194mins) and Fentanyl
(189mins) group. The use of intrathecal Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to Bupivacaine is an attractive
alternative to Fentanyl or Clonidine for long duration surgical procedures due to its profound intrathecal
anesthetic and analgesic properties combined with minimal side effects.
Survival after cardiac arrest is poor but some therapies can make a difference. This presentation discusses the evidence for therpauetic hypothermia, normoxia, management of blood pressure and early cardiac catherterisation. It also makes the case that these might be elements of a bundle of care.

Extensive investigations of treatment strategies for patients with STEMIs have led to many improvements in care.
Yet optimal treatment strategies for patients aged ≥75 years with STEMIs are much less clear, and many knowledge gaps remain.
Age ≥75 years is an independent predictor of 30-day mortality in STEMI.
Although this higher mortality risk generally would dictate more aggressive treatments, recent data have shown, for example, that <1/2 of patients aged ≥80 years with STEMIs are treated with any reperfusion therapies at all.
Primary PCI with stenting immediately after coronary reperfusion salvage procedures jeopardizes myocardium, improves prognosis, and is the current standard of care for acute STEMI .

The pathophysiology of no-reflow involves microvascular obstruction secondary to distal embolization of clot, microvascular spasm, and thrombosis .

This is a 2.5 hour update/preview of the 2010 ECC guidelines for CPR and ACLS. It does not include "special situations" and does not include the PALS/NRP stuff (both of these presentations are coming later). It is in its final draft but has been ran through a paramedic refresher course with good reception.
DISCLAIMER: It does not contstitute a formal ACLS refresher course, nor is it intended too.
Also it incudes much content from my importance of CPR lecture, also on here.
The good news in resuscitation is that there have not been any new advances that mandate a change in practice since the 2016 ANZCOR Guidelines. The bad news is that despite our best intent, the ever-increasing research appears unable to demonstrate improved outcomes with any particular approach. Two of the most exciting areas (eCPR and post-resuscitation care) are being covered in detail at separate talks at this meeting. This presentation will focus on updating the audience on the more continuous approach to evidence evaluation, and the key recent publications that have made us at least re-evaluate our practices in BLS (including ventilation), ALS (including anti-arrhythmics) and peri-resuscitation care.

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

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
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

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.

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!
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.

ABSTRACT Improved technology has allowed us Technique
to develop support pumps that can be applied rap-
idly and safely. A system utilizing thin-walled(4mm
inner diameter)percutaneously inserted sheaths has
been designed for rapid bedside arterial and cen-
tral venous cannulation to establish femoral arterial
and venous cardiopulmonary bypass. The system
utilizes two 30-cm-longlarge-bore,thin-walled (end
and side holes)venous cannulas and a single 15-cm-
long (end hole) arterial reperfusion cannula, which
is connected to a pediatric oxygenator and a vortex
pump head. Five patients with refractory cardiac ar-
rest who could not be resuscitated by conventional
means were revived with this system. Application
time was approximately five minutes. This system
appears to be an easily applied and reliable short-
term mechanical support device.
Percutaneous cannulation of a femoral artery
and both femoral veins is carried out as follows.
Sodium heparin, 300 units per kilogram of body
weight, is administered. With a standard groin

Summary
Background Extracorporeal life-support as an adjunct to cardiac resuscitation has shown encouraging outcomes in
patients with cardiac arrest. However, there is little evidence about the benefit of the procedure compared with
conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), especially when continued for more than 10 min. We aimed to
assess whether extracorporeal CPR was better than conventional CPR for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest of
cardiac origin.
Methods We did a 3-year prospective observational study on the use of extracorporeal life-support for patients aged
18–75 years with witnessed in-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac origin undergoing CPR of more than 10 min compared
with patients receiving conventional CPR. A matching process based on propensity-score was done to equalise
potential prognostic factors in both groups, and to formulate a balanced 1:1 matched cohort study. The primary
endpoint was survival to hospital discharge, and analysis was by intention to treat. This study is registered with
ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00173615.
Findings Of the 975 patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest events who underwent CPR for longer than 10 min,
113 were enrolled in the conventional CPR group and 59 were enrolled in the extracorporeal CPR group. Unmatched
patients who underwent extracorporeal CPR had a higher survival rate to discharge (log-rank p<0·0001) and a better
1-year survival than those who received conventional CPR (log rank p=0·007). Between the propensity-score matched
groups, there was still a significant difference in survival to discharge (hazard ratio [HR] 0·51, 95% CI 0·35–0·74,
p<0·0001), 30-day survival (HR 0·47, 95% CI 0·28–0·77, p=0·003), and 1-year survival (HR 0·53, 95% CI 0·33–0·83,
p=0·006) favouring extracorporeal CPR over conventional CPR.
Interpretation Extracorporeal CPR had a short-term and long-term survival benefit over conventional CPR in patients
with in-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac origin.

Introduction
Sudden cardiac arrest still has a low survival rate despite
the introduction of cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR),1
and this rate has remained unchanged since
1993.2,3
Investigations have also shown that survival rate
declines rapidly when the duration of CPR exceeds
10 min, and even more rapidly if it exceeds 30 min.3–5
Extracorporeal life-support as a device for cardiac
received CPR of more than 10 min. We also aimed to
assess whether the survival benefit of extracorporeal CPR
over conventional CPR seen in previous studies7–9
might
have been due to selection bias.

(ECPR)
The ED ECPR Algorithm: A 3-Staged Approach
When patients present to the ED in the peri-arrest phases of
cardiovascular collapse, decisive action by the emergency
physician can make the difference between life and death.
Additionally, critical information necessary to determine
whether a patient is a candidate for aggressive intervention is
often unavailable or becomes available piecemeal. At the same
time, we know that successful neurologic outcomes are
inversely associated with the time it takes to reestablish brain
perfusion (either intrinsic perfusion with ROSC or extracorporeal perfusion with ECLS).
Therefore, we developed a 3-stage algorithm for early initiation of ECPR at our
institution.
The ECPR algorithm typically involves 2 physicians. With the first physician supervising
ACLS (AKA the “code doc”), the second doctor is responsible for percutaneous femoral
venous and arterial access (AKA the “line doc”). On average, it takes 20 to 30 minutes to
complete all 3 stages, which provides enough time to allow the patient to achieve ROSC
via traditional means. Concomitantly, the critical care ECLS nursing team is called, and
the portable ECLS unit is brought from the intensive care unit to the ED. Here is a
schematic:

continue as for all other ECMO uses. Because ECPR required rapid cannulation and ECMO
access, correct connection of the arterial and venous cannulae to the corresponding limbs
should be checked using a “Time-Out’ system prior to ECMO flow.
B. Patient Management on ECMO: CNS protection during and after CPR is critical. Therapies
known to improve survival and CNS outcomes after CPR such as:
1. Total body hypothermia should be included. Cooling should be achieved by applying ice
to the head during CPR and for 48 – 72 hours after ECMO cannulation.
2. Neurological exams should be performed following discontinuation of neuromuscular
blocking agents after hemodynamic stability is achieved in collaboration with the neurologist.
C. Management of Left Atrial Hypertension: Evaluation for LA hypertension should be
undertaken soon after the patient is placed on ECMO and LA decompression should be
considered if left atrial pressure is thought to be elevated.

Abstract
Background: Given the expanding scope of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its variable impact
on drug pharmacokinetics as observed in neonatal studies, it is imperative that the effects of the device on the
drugs commonly prescribed in the intensive care unit (ICU) are further investigated. Currently, there are no data to
confirm the appropriateness of standard drug dosing in adult patients on ECMO. Ineffective drug regimens in these
critically ill patients can seriously worsen patient outcomes. This study was designed to describe the
pharmacokinetics of the commonly used antibiotic, analgesic and sedative drugs in adult patients receiving ECMO.
Methods/Design: This is a multi-centre, open-label, descriptive pharmacokinetic (PK) study. Eligible patients will be
adults treated with ECMO for severe cardiac and/or respiratory failure at five Intensive Care Units in Australia and
New Zealand. Patients will receive the study drugs as part of their routine management. Blood samples will be
taken from indwelling catheters to investigate plasma concentrations of several antibiotics (ceftriaxone,
meropenem, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, piperacillin-tazobactum, ticarcillin-clavulunate, linezolid,
fluconazole, voriconazole, caspofungin, oseltamivir), sedatives and analgesics (midazolam, morphine, fentanyl,
propofol, dexmedetomidine, thiopentone). The PK of each drug will be characterised to determine the variability of
PK in these patients and to develop dosing guidelines for prescription during ECMO.
Discussion: The evidence-based dosing algorithms generated from this analysis can be evaluated in later clinical
studies. This knowledge is vitally important for optimising pharmacotherapy in these most severely ill patients to
maximise the opportunity for therapeutic success and minimise the risk of therapeutic failure.

Rationale Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may provide mechanical pulmonary and circulatory support for
patients with cardiogenic shock refractory to conventional medical therapy. Prediction of survival in these patients
may assist in management of these patients and comparison of results from different centers.
Aims Toidentify pre-ECMO factors which predict survival from refractorycardiogenic shock requiring ECMO and create the
survival after veno-arterial-ECMO (SAVE)-score.
Methods

Patientswithrefractorycardiogenicshocktreatedwithveno-arterialECMObetweenJanuary2003andDecember2013
wereextractedfromtheinternationalExtracorporealLifeSupportOrganizationregistry.Multivariablelogisticregression
was performed using bootstrapping methodology with internal and external validation to identify factors independently
associated with in-hospital survival. Of 3846 patients with cardiogenic shock treated with ECMO, 1601 (42%) patients
were alive at hospital discharge. Chronic renal failure, longer duration of ventilation prior to ECMO initiation,
pre-ECMO organ failures, pre-ECMO cardiac arrest, congenital heart disease, lower pulse pressure, and lower serum
bicarbonate (HCO3) were risk factors associated with mortality. Younger age, lower weight, acute myocarditis, heart
transplant, refractory ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, higher diastolic blood pressure, and lower peak inspiratory
pressure were protective. The SAVE-score (area under the receiver operating characteristics [ROC] curve [AUROC]
0.68 [95%CI 0.64–0.71]) was created. External validation of the SAVE-score in an Australian population of 161 patients

Abstract
Rationale: Increasing use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(ECMO) for acute respiratory failure may increase resource
requirementsandhospitalcosts.Betterpredictionofsurvivalinthese
patients may improve resource use, allow risk-adjusted comparison
of center-specific outcomes, and help clinicians to target patients
most likely to benefit from ECMO.
Objectives: To create a model for predicting hospital survival at
initiation of ECMO for respiratory failure.
Methods: Adult patients with severe acute respiratory failure
treated by ECMO from 2000 to 2012 were extracted from the
Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) international
registry. Multivariable logistic regression was used to create the
Respiratory ECMO Survival Prediction (RESP) score using
bootstrapping methodology with internal and external
validation.
Measurements and Main Results: Of the 2,355 patients included
in the study, 1,338 patients (57%) were discharged alive from
hospital. The RESP score was developed using pre-ECMO variables
independently associated with hospital survival on logistic
regression, which included age, immunocompromised status,
duration of mechanical ventilation before ECMO, diagnosis, central
nervous system dysfunction, acute associated nonpulmonary
infection, neuromuscular blockade agents or nitric oxide use,
bicarbonate infusion, cardiac arrest, PaCO2
, and peak inspiratory
pressure. The receiver operating characteristics curve analysis of the
RESP score was c = 0.74 (95% confidence interval, 0.72–0.76).
External validation, performed on 140 patients, exhibited excellent
discrimination (c = 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.89–0.97).
Conclusions: The RESP score is a relevant and validated tool to
predict survival for patients receiving ECMO for respiratory failure.

and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.71–0.76) in the othe

Predicted hospital survival in the
external validation cohort according to
RESP score is described in Figure 1B.
Overall observed survival was much lo
in risk class V and VI (i.e., RESP score
22) than in risk class III, II, and I
(i.e., RESP score > 21) (15.5 vs. 91.5%
respectively). The external validation of
RESP score on the PRESERVE dataset
exhibited excellent performance (c = 0.
[95% CI, 0.89–0.97]) in contrast to mu
poorer discrimination of the SAPS II (
0.60 [95% CI, 0.51–0.70]) and SOFA sc
(c = 0.58 [95% CI, 0.48–0.67]) in the

Discussion
To our knowledge, this is the largest re
of patients who have received ECMO f
severe acute respiratory failure and
comprises 2,355 patients from multiple
countries over a 13-year period. This la
population has allowed creation of a w
calibrated and discriminatory survival
model comprising twelve pre-ECMO
variables (RESP score; http://www.
respscore.com).

risk models in ECMO (9, 15, 16). More
detailed biologic and chronic health data
may have enhanced the accuracy of our
model (15). Fifth, all items of the RESP score
were not recorded in the external validation
dataset (i.e., neuromuscular blocker use,
plateau pressure instead of peak pressure).
Finally, it is worth remembering that the
RESP score has been developed on patients
already on ECMO. It has not been validated
for prediction of survival in a more general
population of patients with severe acute
respiratory failure where ECMO has not
(yet) been instituted.
In conclusion, the overall hospital
survival of 2,355 patients with severe
acute respiratory failure extracted from
an international cohort over a 13-year
period was 57%. The RESP score offers,
through 12 simple pre-ECMO items,
a relevant and validated tool to predict
survival for patients receiving ECMO for
