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!

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

2. Failure of differentiation or separation of
parts
3. Duplication
4. Overgrowth
5. Undergrowth
6. Congenital constriction ring syndrome
7. Generalized skeletal abnormalities &
syndromes
3. Overgrowth (Macrodactyly)
• Rare congenital anomaly (Incidence : 0.9%)
• Most frequently involved : Index finger
• Etiology : Uncertain
– Abnormal nerve supply, blood supply & humoral mechanism
• Associated with syndactyly (10%)
• Two types (Barsky)
– Static
• Deformity is present in infancy.
• Diffuse enlargement of the digit. Distal and palmar tissues more enlarged
– Progressive
• Associated with angular deformity
• Occurs in early childhood as a rapidly enlarging digit (banana shaped
finger)
• Clinical Features
– Enlarged digit
• Thickened skin & hypetrophied nails
• Phalanges always involved. (Metacarpal may be enlarged)
– Unilateral, and multiple digits are affected two to three times as
often as single digits.
– If the thumb is involved, a characteristic abduction and
hyperextension deformity
– Loss of motion
– Trophic ulcers
4. Treatment - Macrodactyly
• No role of conservative treatment
• Indications for surgery
– Enlargement (Cosmetic)
– Angulation (Obstructed grasp & pinch)
– Carpal tunnel syndrome
– Causalgia
• Debulking
– Most common procedure
– As much excess tissue as possible is excised from one half of
the digit; 3 months later, the other half is debulked
– Digital nerves be stripped of one half their fascicles (to
prevent recurrence)
• Physeal arrest after the digit has reached estimated
adult length
– Holes drilled through the physes
– Resection of the physes
– High-speed drill for epiphysiodesis of all phalanges
• Digital shortening
– Amputation of the distal phalanx
– Amputation is used to provide relief only as a last resort
• Complications
– Recurrence
– Flap necrosis
5. Undergrowth
• Deficiency in any of its anatomical parts—osseous,
musculotendinous, or ectodermal
• Hypoplastic thumb
– Incidence : 1.3% - 3.6%
– Shorter than normal or, in the most severe manifestation,
totally absent.
– Types:
• short thumb
• adducted thumb
• abducted thumb
• floating thumb
• absent thumb
• clasped thumb.
6. Short thumb
• The normal thumb extends to about the level of the
proximal interphalangeal joint of the index finger; a
thumb is considered “short” if its length is less than
this
• Hypoplasia of any or all osseous components
• Associated with syndrome
– Metacarpal is short and slender : Fanconi, Holt-Oram
syndrome.
– Metacarpus is short and broad : Hand-foot-uterus
syndrome, myositis ossificans progressiva.
– A slender distal phalanx may be associated with
Fanconi or Holt-Oram syndrome.
• Shortening of the proximal phalanx of the thumb may
be associated with brachydactyly.
• The thumb may be radially deviated (“hitchhiker's
thumb”) or very short and stubby (“potter's thumb”
or “murderer's thumb”).
• Treatment
– Deepening of the web space
– Two-limb or four-limb Z-plasty.
7. Adducted thumb
• Due to absence or partial absence of the
thenar muscles
– Lack a functional FPL
– The radial collateral ligament of the
thumb & MCP joint may be deficient.
• Shortened & tapered thumb with
flattened thenar eminence and a
deficient first web space.
• Unilateral involvement
• Autosomal dominant transmission
• Treatment
– Correction of the adduction contracture
• Two-limb or four-limb Z-plasty
• Sliding dorsal flap raised from the radial
side of the index finger.
– Restoration of opposition
• ring flexor superficialis tendon
opponensplasty
• abductor digiti quinti opponensplasty
8. Abducted thumb
• Extremely rare deformity
• Due to abnormal insertion of the FPL
muscle into an otherwise normal EPL
muscle
• Associated with
– Deficiencies in the thenar musculature
– Adduction contracture of the first
metacarpal with web space deficiency
• Types
– A : Stable CMC joint
– B : Unstable CMC joint
• Treatment
– Release of the bifurcated tendon insertion
and reattachment to the metacarpal neck
– Release of the tendon distally and
reattachment to the distal phalanx
– Release of the anomalous slip to the EPL
muscle, with an ulnarward shift of the EPL
at the metacarpophalangeal joint
9. Floating thumb (Pouce Flottant)
• Small, slender thumb arises from the
radial border of the hand.
• Thumb originates more distally than
usual, and there is neither extrinsic
nor intrinsic muscle function
• There are two phalanges, a
fingernail, no metacarpophalangeal
joint, and no first metacarpal
• Trapezium and scaphoid also often
are absent
• Treatment
– Amputation is the treatment of
choice, followed by index finger
pollicization
10. Absent thumb
• Most severe hypoplastic thumb
deformity
• Associated with
– Radial ray deficiency
– Holt-Oram syndrome
– Trisomy 18
– Rothmund-Thomson syndrome
• Treatment
– Pollicization or recession of the
index finger
– Best time for pollicization : 6-12
months
– Recession is preferable in an older
child with a strong lateral pinch
between the index and long fingers
11. Clasp thumb• Thumb is positioned in adduction and extreme flexion at
the MCP joint.
• Imbalance between the flexors and extensors of the thumb
– Hypoplasia or absence of the EPB muscle
– EPL may be absent.
• Clinical feature
– Thumb flexed into the palm
– No active extension at the MCP joint is shown after prolonged
observation and particularly by age 3 months
• Types
– Group 1 : deficient extension only
• Most common; Usually bilateral
• Sex linked inheritance
– Group 2 : flexion contracture combined with deficient extension
– Group 3 : hypoplasia of the thumb, including tendon and muscle
– Group 4 : deformities that do not fit easily any of the other three
categories
• Treatment
– Conservative : Early splinting in extension and abduction. (Group 1)
• Plaster splint changed every 6 weeks and continued for 3 to 6 months.
– Operative (Tendon transfer for inadequate EPL)
• PL, BR, ECRL, EIP, and flexor superficialis muscles
• Chondrodesis of MCP joint
12. Hypoplastic hands & digit
• Incidence
– Hypoplasia of the entire hand : 0.8%
– Brachydactyly (Short fingers) : 5.2%
• The most common hypoplastic bony segment :
middle phalanx (brachyphalangia).
• Autosomal dominant trait
• Seen in malformation syndromes
– Treacher Collins
– Bloom
– Cornelia de Lange, Holt-Oram, Silver, and Poland
syndromes
• Treatment
– Lengthening procedures (If shortening > 1cm)
• Improve the appearance of the metacarpal row
• Increase grip strength.
– Extraperiosteal toe-phalanx transplantation as
an interpositional or terminal graft for the
extremely hypoplastic digit
13. Constriction band syndrome (streeter’s
dysplasia)
• Incidence : 2%
• Etiology- constricting amniotic band &
intrinsic causes have been proposed
• Patterson clasification-
a. Simple constrictions
(partial/circumferential)
b. Constrictions with distal deformity
(lymphedema +/-)
c. Constrictions with acrosyndactyly
(Fenestrated syndactyly)
d. Intrauterine amputation
• Treatment
– Excision of band and the defect should be
closed with multiple Z-plasty
– Release of acrosyndactyly
14. Camptodactyly (arched finger)
• Painless, progressive flexion contracture of
PIP joint
– MCP joint hyperextended
• Due to imbalance in flexors
& extensors
• Incidence <1%
• Autosomal dominant trait
• Little finger (>70% cases)
• 3 types:
type I : Newborn (M=F, 80%)
type II : Adolescent females
type III : Multiple digits/with
syndromes
• Treatment : Not satisfactory results
– Conservative : Splinting until extension achieved
– Operative : Release of FDS tendon & transfer into
extensor apparatus
15. Congenital trigger thumb

tendon at A1 pulley .
• Fixed flexion of IPJ (thumb locked in
flexion)
• “Notta node” – palpable nodule
over flexor aspect of MCP joint of
thumb proximal to A1 pulley.
• Frequently B/L.
• Treatment

16. Kirner’s deformity
• Progressive palmar radial curvature
of the distal phalanx of little finger
• Seen at 8 to 10 years of age
• Deformity usu bilateral and
symmetrical
• Progressive deformity, not painful
• Distortion & widening of physeal
plate along with curvature of the
diaphysis of the distal phalanx.
• Radiograph: Broadened epiphysis
with irregularity in metaphysis
• Treatment: Multiple opening wedge
osteotomy
17. Madelung deformity
• Abnormality of the palmar ulnar part of the
distal radial physis
• Progressive ulnar and volar tilt at distal
radial articular surface with dorsal
subluxation of the distal ulna.

• Commonly bilateral
• Autosomal dominant pattern
• Types:
– Posttraumatic
– Dysplastic (dyschondrosteosis or diaphyseal
aclasis)
– Genetic (Turner syndrome)
– Idiopathic
• Deformity
– Radius curved, with its convexity dorsal and
radial
– Ulna subluxated dorsally, enlarged ulnar head,
decreased ulnar length
– Carpus subluxated ulnarward and palmarward
into the distal radioulnar joint
18. Madelung deformity - Treatment
• Indication of surgery: Severe deformity
or persistent pain due to ulnocarpal
impingement of the carpus
• Distal radial osteotomy with ulnar
shortening (Milch recession)
• Osteotomy combined with Darrach
excision of the distal ulnar head
– The radial osteotomy may be a closing
or opening wedge as needed for
alignment
• Resection of the abnormal portion of
the radial physis and insertion of fat as
a form of surgical prophylaxis
Not congenital but rather acquired problems related to a discrepancy between a tight flexor tendon sheath and enlarged FPL.
Surgery should not be delayed beyond age 3 years
