Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection that causes an acute fever and blistered rash, mainly in children.
The name may be derived from the French term for chick pea, chiche pois. Another theory is that the word 'chicken' was derived from a slang term for 'child'. Chickenpox is also known as varicella.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).

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

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

Corona Virus (COVID 19)
2. Definition
COVID 19 stands for Corona Virus Disease 2019
which originated in Wuhan Province of China and
quickly spread across the world.
Corona is a large group of viruses which can
infect both humans and animals with cold related
diseases.
The intensity of the infection ranges from common
cold to acute respiratory syndrome.
3. Epidemiological Data
The outbreak of Corona virus was reported in Hubei
Province of China the end of December 2019.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared that it has
already reached the status of a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
The pandemic had spread to 114 countries across the globe
at the time.
More than one million cases of the disease are predicted just
with in few days.
The disease has sacrificed the life of 52,855 people across the
world leaving world leaders and health workers in a
perplexing situation due to high surge of patients and
suspected people to health facilities and quarantine centers.
The old are much more likely to get infected and die from
corona virus infection, the young are certainly not immune
from it.
6. How long does the virus stay alive on different
materials?
Paper – 4-5 days
Wood (tables, chairs) – 4 days
Metal (Scissors) – 2 days
Glass – 4 days
Gloves – 4-5 days
Other plastic products – 5 days
It is advisable to clean our hands with soap and
water before and after using the utensils. It is
necessary to keep these household utensils clean as
well.
7. Sign and Symptoms of Corona Virus
Infection
Fever
Cough
Fatigue
Pneumonia
Shortness of breath
Vomiting and Diarrhea in some cases
After being infected, people may carry the virus from
a couple of days to 14 days before they start to notice
any of these symptoms.
8.
9. Diagnosis
Suspect cases are screened for with nucleic acid
amplification tests (NAAT) such as RT-PCR.
Routine confirmation of cases of COVID-19 is based on
detection of unique sequences of virus RNA by NAAT such as
real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction
(rRT-PCR) with confirmation y nucleic acid sequencing when
necessary.
Serological Testing
Serological surveys can aid investigation of an ongoing
outbreak and retrospective assessment of the attack rate or
extent of an outbreak. In cases where NAAT assays are
negative ad there is a strong epidemiological link to COVID-19
infection, paired serum samples (in the acute ad convalescent
phase)could support diagnosis once validated serology tests
are available. Serum samples could be stored for these
purposes.
10. Diagnosis
Viral Sequencing
In addition to providing confirmation of the presence of the virus
regular sequencing of a percentage of specimens from clinical cases
can e useful to monitor for viral genome mutations that might affect
the performance of medical countermeasures, including diagnostic
tests.
Various diagnostic test mechanisms are being developed to test
COVID 19.
COVID test from Roche
FDA approved Cepheid – the test developed by California, US
based Cepheid – which takes only 45 minutes to determine if
someone has COVID-19
To test for COVID 19, a health care provider uses a long swab to
take a nasal sample. The sample is then sent to a lab for testing.
11. Antibodies test Approved by FDA
The test checks for protective antibodies in a finger
prick of blood, revealing whether a patient has ever
been exposed to the coronavirus and nor may have some
immunity.
That’s an important difference from current tests, which
look for fragments of coronavirus genes that indicate
an ongoing infection.
It may show that it’s safe for people who are immune to
the coronavirus to leave their homes and rejoin the
workforce
Also, antibody testing could provide a better idea of how
widespread coronavirus infection is in the population
and improve calculation of the death rate.
12. Case Definition of COVID-19
Suspect Case
A. A patient with acute respiratory illness (fever and at least one
sign/symptom of respiratory disease (e.g. cough, shortness of
breath), AND with no other etiology that fully explains the clinical
presentation AND a history of ravel to or residence in a country or
area or territory reporting local transmission of COVID-19 disease
during the 14 days prior to symptom onset
Or
B. A patient with any acute respiratory illness AND having been in
contact with a confirmed or probable COVID-19 case in the last 14
days prior to the onset of symptoms;
Or
C. A Patient with severe acute respiratory infection (fever and at
least one sign/symptom of respiratory disease (e.g. cough, shortness
of breath) AND requiring hospitalization AND with no other
etiology that fully explains the clinical presentation.
13. Case Definition of COVID-19
Probable Case
A suspect case for whom testing for COVID-19 is
inconclusive
Inconclusive being the result of the test reported
by the laboratory
Confirmed case
A person with laboratory confirmation of COVID-19
infection, irrespective of clinical signs and symptons
14. Who should be tested for COVID 19?
The CDC has identified those who are at the highest
priority for testing including
Hospitalized patients who show symptoms
Healthcare professionals who within 14 days of
symptom onset had close contact with a laboratory
confirmed COVID case.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has been
urging countries around the world to adopt a
comprehensive testing strategy with its director
general Tedros Adhanom Gebreyesus calling for
countries to “test every suspected case”.
15. A test by Abbot Laboratories – five minutes
A test by Bodysphere Inc. – two minutes
A serological testing kit which collects the results by
using antibodies in the blood to determine current or past
infection.
This test can only detect the virus in people who have had
the infection for several days.
16. Transmission
Covid-19 is not airborne.
The virus that causes Covid-19 is mainly transmitted through
droplets generated when an infected person coughs sneezes
and speaks.
These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air. They quickly
fall on floors or surfaces
You can be infected y breathing in the virus if you are within 1
metre of a person who has Covid-19 or by touching a
contaminated surface and hen touching your eyes, nose or
mouth before washing your hands.
To protect yourself keep at least 1 metre distance from others
and disinfect surfaces that are touched frequently. Regularly
clean your hands thoroughly and avoid touching your eyes,
mouth and nose.
17. Complications
In advanced cases, the patient can have very serious
complications which can lead to death, such as:
Sever pneumonia
Renal (kidney) failure
18. Complications
The virus can cause pneumonia which is an
infection causing the air sacs in the lungs to fill with
fluid. It has also been linked to bronchitis which is
an inflammation of the airways in the lungs.
Elderly people and people who already have a
medical condition such as heart disease or diabetes
are the most at risk of suffering from complications.
People with weakened immune system are also at a
higher risk. These includes people with HIV, cancer
and people who do not get enough nutrition.
19. How it transmits between people
1. Direct contact with infected patients.
2. Droplets during the patient’s coughing or sneezing.
When people cough or sneeze they spray small
liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which
may contain the virus.
3. Contact with patients tools and then directly
touching the nose, mouth or eyes.
20. Treatment
Currently, there is no approved antiviral
medication for the infection. Treatment is directed
at relieving symptoms which may include relieving
pain and cough.
These supportive medical care is provided to help
relieve the acuteness of the symptoms and control
complications.
The patients must be put on ventilators (oxygen
supply machines) as they experience severe
respiratory distress.
Bed rest and fluid intake are also recommended.
21. Blood plasma and Off-Label use of
Hydroxychloroquine
Supposed treatment measures
The blood plasma of recovered coronavirus patients
Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine) - anti-malarial drug
From an official standpoint, plaquenil is currently only approved by the
FDA for prescription treatment of conditions such as malaria, lupus, and
rheumatoid arthritis. The United States government has approved
plaquenil for compassionate use (treatment of severely ill patients with
no other recourse) and endorses its use for all corona virus patients. The
medication has nevertheless not been formally approved for treatment of
patients with the novel coronavirus.
Rumors about anti-retroviral (HIV) drugs like Lopinavir use in
combination.
22. Medication Related Precautions
Currently there are confusions over the use of
Ibuprofen (Advil) to treat symptoms of COVID-19.
At the moment, the NHS only recommends taking
paracetamol for Covid-19 symptoms, even though it
admits there is no strong evidence showing
ibuprofen worsens symptoms. The BMJ also states
that ibuprofen should be avoided when managing
COVID-19 Symptoms.
23. Prevention
There is no vaccine for the prevention of the
acquisition of the new corona virus infection.
World Health Organization (WHO)
24. Prevention Methods
Avoid handshaking
Keep social distancing (physical distancing)
Make sure you follow good respiratory hygiene. This
means covering your mouth and nose with your bent
elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes as hands
touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses.
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or
clean your hand with alcohol based sanitizers
Cook well meat products and eggs
Stay home. If you have fever, cough and difficulty
breathing seek medical attention.
25. Prevention
For healthcare professionals, wearing
Medical masks or respirator (N95 or FFP2)
Protective goggles, face shield
Gloves
Apron, gown
26. Fatality
The infection is highly fatal causing 51,354
mortality across the globe since it was first identified
in the Hubei Province, Wuhan city of china.
The death toll is dramatically increasing even in
countries with better health care system.
Out of 1,000, 168 coronavirus cases, only 210,191
patients have recovered from the infection so far.
This data was compiled on April 3, 2020, statistical
variation within daily reports is expected.
27. Safety Recommendations
Avoid handshaking
Keep social distancing (Physical distancing)
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between you and
anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Stay at home – avoiding social gatherings
Wash your hands with soap and water frequently for at
least for 20 seconds to kill any viruses on your hands
Using chemical sanitizers to clean one’s hands to kill the
virus
Use alcohol as a sanitizer is also possible after diluting to
appropriate level
Quarantining the infected and suspected persons
Washing clothes /exposing to sunshine
Lockdown
28. Reasons for the High Fatality
Unpreparedness for the pandemic – the world
didn’t expect the virus would spread across the world
at this level.
Lack of facilities and supplies – so many
doctors and nurses who know how to protect
themselves were sacrificed due to lack of protective
supplies and the rash in the treatment process
Disobedience of the community to containment
measures of governments
The high surge of patients beyond the capacity of
the health facilities
29. Way Ahead
The pandemic has spread uncontrolledly across the
globe.
The elderly are more predisposed to COVID 19 and
should therefore take extra precautions and stay
safe.
Citizens should abide with stay home or any other
containment measures recommended by their
