This document discusses guidelines for breastfeeding in special cases such as HIV-positive mothers, mothers with tuberculosis or other illnesses, mothers who smoke or drink, and mothers with multiple births. It recommends that HIV-positive mothers exclusively breastfeed if they receive antiretroviral treatment, as this reduces transmission risk to below 2%. For mothers with tuberculosis, it recommends continuing exclusive breastfeeding while treating the mother with antibiotics. For other conditions, it evaluates risks and benefits of breastfeeding versus alternatives on a case-by-case basis. The overall message is that breastfeeding has significant benefits and can often continue safely in special cases by following evidence-based guidelines.
In this ppt, I have discussed some special cases when a mother may be unsure if and how to breast feed her infant. In these special conditions, what should a doctor advise

Whether we like it or not, the health of our society is bad and getting worse. As technology continues to develop, convenience does as well and ordering food is literally as simple as the clicking of a button.
Long gone are the days of having to find your own food, let alone having to drive to a restaurant to get dinner.
Cooking dinner looks less and less appealing when compared to the food conveniences and choices amongst diners, catering services, fast food and takeout.
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death, just in the United States alone.
This is a compilation of recommendations for feeding of HIV-exposed infants based on WHO-UNICEF and the DOH Administrative Order. Ideally, patient's choice should still be considered whether exclusively breastfeeding or exclusively replacement feeding.
Breastfeeding is a precious moment comes in every mother's life. It nourishes both mother and her baby. Along with benefits, there are some myths also which are associated with breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding during COVID-19 infection NEHA MALIK
Breastfeeding is particularly effective against infectious diseases because it strengthens the immune system by directly transferring antibodies from the mother. As with all confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases, mothers with any symptoms who are breastfeeding or practicing skin-to-skin contact should take precautions.

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.

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

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
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
1. Breastfeeding& special cases
1. 1. Exclusive Breast Feeding In Special Cases… “Doc… Should I or Shouldn't I?” “Madam,
You Should or you Should not!”
2. 2. We Will Look Into Following Cases In Brief: PLHA Mother Mother with Active
Pulmonary Tuberculosis Mother who fails to quit Smoking or/& Alcohol Mother on Anti
cancerous Chemotherapy Infant with Diarrhea Infant with ARI Multiple pregnancies
Any other condition you want to think of?
3. 3. Mother: “Doc, should I breastfeed my baby, I am HIV+”? Without Non breast ARVs, HIV-
infected mothers have 10 to 15% chance of passing HIV through breast milk, and still lower if
on ARV feeders are at high risk of: Malnutrition, ARI, Diarrhea- All leading causes of deaths!
Baby may survive, only to suffer later in life from DM, Allergies, Au to- immune diseases
4. 4. Without ARVs <5% with ARV& guidelines <2% with ARV& guidelines
5. 5. Breastfeeding protects Especially the youngest infants IFE 1/4 Times more likely to die if
not breastfed Studies Quote infant mortality even up to 21% among normal population, w ho
are not breastfed! Age in months WHO Collaborative Study Team. Effects of breastfeeding
on infant and child mortality due to infectious disease in less developed countries: a pooled
analysis. The Lancet 2000;355:451-5 Risk of death if breastfed is equivalent to one.
6. 6. Risks of not breastfeeding Particular high risk of: Diarrhoea and ARTI Malnutrition Can
lead to: - Ill health - Poor development - Affect can last for life - DEATH Aceh
7. 7. Mother: “Doc, should I breastfeed my baby, I am HIV+”? Doc: “Madam, AFASS”
8. 8. For Person Living with HIV/AIDS If Baby is HIV+ due to Prenatal Transmission If Baby
is HIV-ve or Baby’s status is not known Advise Exclusive Breast feed, just as for a HIV-
ve mother Acceptable Feasibility Work it out according to AFASS Safe Affordable
Sustainable
9. 9. So to summarize: Ask for: HIV status of the child Viral load in the mother- higher the
maternal plasma HIV load (>3.7 log 10 copies/mL), higher the risk! CD4 Count< 200/ ml
Breast health ARV therapy Motivation& SE Status of the mother& family to Assess
AFASS Whatever you advise the mother to do, do it exclusively
10. 10. You, as doc decide according to (AFASS): Breastfeed with ARV intervention or,
Avoid All breastfeeding, Continue ARV mother, compulsorily for Start prophylactic ARV
for infant: Daily NVP un till 1 week after Stopping Breast feed, compulsorily For non breast
feeders, Start prophylactic ARV for infant: Daily NVP till 4- 6 weeks of age, compulsorily
11. 11. Moral of the Story: HIV+ Mothers should exclusively breastfeed their infants for the first
6 months of life, introducing appropriate complementary foods thereafter, and continue
breastfeeding for the first 12 months of life. Mothers known to be HIV-infected who decide
to stop breastfeeding at any time should stop gradually within one month. Infants should
continue prophylaxis for one week after breastfeeding is fully stopped.
12. 12. Alternatives to breastfeeding include: For infants less than six months of age:
Commercial infant formula milk as long as AFASS is met, Expressed, heat-treated breast
milk NO to Home-modified animal milk in the first six months of life. All children need
complementary foods from six months of age.
13. 13. There’s always a tug of war… In a Doc’s mind! Between 5% minus 2% & 21%
14. 14. Break a Myth Mixed feed is bad, so Is Abrupt Cessation of breast feeding good for the
baby of a HIV+ mother?...
15. 15. Break a Myth Mixed feed is bad, so Is Abrupt Cessation of breast feeding good for the
baby of a HIV+ mother?... NO
16. 16. Baby of a Mother with Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis Continue exclusive breast
feeding till 6 months of age,& thereafter as in normal population. Start ATT for mother
immediately… Mother will be non infective within 2 months of regular ATT Preventive
Chemotherapy for baby- INH 5mg/kg/day* 6 months Use face mask while around the baby,
2. till 2 months after starting ATT BCG Vaccine at birth… Something is better than Nothing!
Re- immunize with BCG after stopping Preventive Chemotherapy
17. 17. Remember, its not only mother, Anybody (with TB) around can infect the baby with
Tuberculosis!
18. 18. Break a Myth Is ATT drug concentration in breast milk sufficient for the baby?...
19. 19. Break a Myth Is ATT drug concentration in breast milk sufficient for the baby?... NO
20. 20. Baby of a Mother who fails to quit smoking/ alcohol!! QUIT SMOKING & ALCOHOL!
It is better to exclusively breast feed the baby than to top feed her even if her mother
smokes! Breast milk does pass nicotine to the baby, but more harm happens due to
passive smoking& the smoke dust which invisibly “clings” to your body, hands, clothes, hair&
even beddings! Remember, Anybody smoking in the house would leave the smoke dust to
harm the baby
21. 21. Baby of a Mother who fails to quit smoking/ alcohol!! Alcohol passes freely into
mother's milk & peaks about 30 to 60 minutes after consumption, 60 to 90 minutes when
taken with food. Avoid breast-feeding until alcohol has completely cleared breast milk. This
typically hrs, depending on your body weight. takes 2-3 So, If you plan to drink alcohol,
consider having a drink just after breast-feeding so that the alcohol begins to clear your
breast milk during the natural interval between breast-feeding sessions. Remember,
infant’s hepatic system is immature till 2- 3 months age, even small amounts of alcohol can
be detrimental!
22. 22. Break a Myth Does Pumping and dumping breast milk speed the elimination of alcohol
from your body…
23. 23. Break a Myth Does Pumping and dumping breast milk speed the elimination of alcohol
from your body... NO
24. 24. Breast feeding multiple pregnancies Do Not put off breastfeeding because you're
having multiple babies. It's possible to breastfeed twins and even triplets. Many are
breastfed until they are weaned. Multiple babies are more likely to be born prematurely, so
there are even more benefits to breastfeeding. Breast milk is better for premature babies
as their gut is immature and it's easier for them to tolerate and digest
25. 25. Break a Myth Will there be a “lack of milk”, if there are multiple babies born?...
26. 26. Break a Myth Will there be a “lack of milk”, if there multiple babies are born?... NO
27. 27. Thank you!
