This document provides information on Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and acute gastroenteritis. CAD is caused by plaque buildup in the coronary arteries which can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath, or heart attack. Symptoms of acute gastroenteritis include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps, fever, and dizziness. The document then provides details on the case of a 58-year-old male patient presenting with vomiting, abdominal pain, chest pain, and general weakness. His medical history and examination results indicate diagnoses of CAD, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and acute gastroenteritis. He is started on treatment including aspirin, statins, beta blockers, antiemetics

Angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) is chest pain or discomfort that occurs if an area of your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood.
Angina may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. The pain also can occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina pain may even feel like indigestion.
Angina isn't a disease; it's a symptom of an underlying heart problem. Angina usually is a symptom of coronary heart disease (CHD).
CHD is the most common type of heart disease in adults. It occurs if a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up on the inner walls of your coronary arteries. These arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart.
Plaque Buildup in an Artery
Figure A shows a normal artery with normal blood flow. The inset image shows a cross-section of a normal artery. Figure B shows an artery with plaque buildup. The inset image shows a cross-section of an artery with plaque buildup.
Plaque narrows and stiffens the coronary arteries. This reduces the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, causing chest pain. Plaque buildup also makes it more likely that blood clots will form in your arteries. Blood clots can partially or completely block blood flow, which can cause a heart attack.
Angina also can be a symptom of coronary microvascular disease (MVD). This is heart disease that affects the heart’s smallest coronary arteries. In coronary MVD, plaque doesn't create blockages in the arteries like it does in CHD.
Studies have shown that coronary MVD is more likely to affect women than men. Coronary MVD also is called cardiac syndrome X and nonobstructive CHD.
Types of Angina
The major types of angina are stable, unstable, variant (Prinzmetal's), and microvascular. Knowing how the types differ is important. This is because they have different symptoms and require different treatments.
Stable Angina
Stable angina is the most common type of angina. It occurs when the heart is working harder than usual. Stable angina has a regular pattern. (“Pattern” refers to how often the angina occurs, how severe it is, and what factors trigger it.)
If you have stable angina, you can learn its pattern and predict when the pain will occur. The pain usually goes away a few minutes after you rest or take your angina medicine.
Stable angina isn't a heart attack, but it suggests that a heart attack is more likely to happen in the future.
Unstable Angina
Unstable angina doesn't follow a pattern. It may occur more often and be more severe than stable angina. Unstable angina also can occur with or without physical exertion, and rest or medicine may not relieve the pain.
Unstable angina is very dangerous and requires emergency treatment. This type of angina is a sign that a heart attack may happen soon.
Variant (Prinzmetal's) Angina
Variant angina is rare. A spasm in a coronary artery causes this type of angina. Variant angina usually occurs while you're at rest, and the pain can be severe. It usually hap
Endocarditis is inflammation of your heart's inner lining, called the endocardium. It's usually caused by bacteria. When the inflammation is caused by infection, the condition is called infective endocarditis. Endocarditis is uncommon in people with healthy hearts.

Angina also known as angina pectoris is a medical condition characterized by chest pain usually left sided due to inadequate blood supply (ischemia) to the heart muscles due to obstruction (like presence of blood clot), narrowing or contraction (vasospasm) of the supplying coronary arteries.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping power of your heart muscles. While often referred to simply as “heart failure,” CHF specifically refers to the stage in which fluid builds up around the heart and causes it to pump inefficiently. You have four heart chambers.

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

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.

2. INTRODUCTION TO DISEASE
CAD:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) also known as atheroselerotic heart disease, coronary heart
disease. Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries — the major blood vessels
that supply your heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients — become damaged or diseased.
Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque) on
your arteries are usually to blame for coronary artery disease.
When plaques build up, they narrow your coronary arteries, causing your heart to receive less
blood. Eventually, the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or
other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms. A complete blockage can cause a heart attack.
Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades, it can go virtually unnoticed until
you have a heart attack. But there's plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease
Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle.
GASTROENTERITIS:
It is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract
that involves both the stomach and the small intestine resulting in vomiting or diarrhea or both an
abdominal pain . Dehydration may occur as a result. In most cases it is caused by rotavirus in
children and norovirus in adults. It is also caused by bacteria and parasites. Transmission occur du
to consumption of contaminated food or water. Signs and symptoms usually begin 12-72 hours
after contracting the infectious agent. If due to viral agent, the condition usually resolves within on
week. Some viral causes may also be associated with fever, fatigue, headache and muscle pain. If
the stool is bloody the cause is more likely to be bacterial. Some bacterial infections may be
associated with severe abdominal pain and may persist for several weeks.
3. SYMPTOMS
CAD:
Chest pain (angina). You may feel pressure or tightness in your chest, as if someone were standing on
your chest. The pain, referred to as angina, is usually triggered by physical or emotional stress. It typically
goes away within minutes after stopping the stressful activity. In some people, especially women, this pain
may be fleeting or sharp and noticed in the abdomen, back or arm.
Shortness of breath. If your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, you may develop
shortness of breath or extreme fatigue with exertion.
Heart attack. If a coronary artery becomes completely blocked, you may have a heart attack. The classic
signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing pressure in your chest and pain in your shoulder or
arm, sometimes with shortness of breath and sweating. Women are somewhat more likely than men are to
experience less typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack, including nausea and back or jaw pain.
Sometimes a heart attack occurs without any apparent signs or symptoms

20. GASTROENTRITIS:
Most cases of gastroentritis does not require any treatment and the symptoms will improve
within few weeks.medication is required in severe cases.
Oral rehydration salts are recommended for people who are vulnerable to the effects
of dehydration, such as elderly people.
Unless your symptoms are severe, medication to treat gastroenteritis is not usually needed. The
medications that are used to treat the symptoms of gastroenteritis are outlined below.
Antidiarrhoeal medications
Antidiarrhoeal medications are used to treat the symptoms of diarrhoea. Loperamide is a widely
used antidiarrhoeal medication for treating gastroenteritis.
Anti-emetic medications are used to help prevent or reduce vomiting.
Common anti-emetics include stemetil (prochlorperazine) and metoclopramide (which can be
given by injection directly into your muscles as well as orally).
Antibiotics are not usually recommended for treating gastroenteritis because:
most gastroenteritis cases are caused by viruses.even if gastroenteritis is caused by bacteria,
research shows that antibiotics are often no more effective and they can cause unpleasant side
effects
Hospital treatment
Admission to hospital is usually recommended when:
repeated episodes of vomiting mean that you are unable to keep down any fluids
you have symptoms that suggest severe dehydration, such as not passing any urine
Treatment in hospital will involve administering fluids and nutrients intravenously (directly into
a vein).
