1. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can both cause neurologic side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, "chemobrain", and damage to the central nervous system.
2. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy commonly causes pain, weakness, or imbalance and is generally dose-dependent and reversible, though some neuropathies may persist. Radiation-induced peripheral neuropathy typically causes gradually progressive weakness months to years later.
3. Radiation therapy carries risks of acute and chronic effects in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, including encephalopathy, leukoencephalopathy, vascular injuries like stroke, and spinal cord syndromes. Long-term risks include radiation necrosis, cerebral atrophy, and delayed leukoencephalopathy

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!
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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

Ozempic: Preoperative Management of Patients on GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Saeid Safari
Preoperative Management of Patients on GLP-1 Receptor Agonists like Ozempic and Semiglutide
ASA GUIDELINE
NYSORA Guideline
2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
2. introduction
• The arc of medical advance
– Supportive care
– Crude but sometimes effective
– Artful and often effective
• Survivor = courageous
– Not all of this will be encouraging
• Who I am
– Simple country neurologist
• Chemotherapy
– PNS
– CNS
• Radiation therapy
– PNS
– CNS
3. chemotherapy-induced
peripheral neuropathy
• pain, weakness, or imbalance can develop
• generally dose-dependent
• generally reversible, BUT
» symptoms can “coast”
» some irreversible neuropathy can occur
• risk is probably greater in people with pre-existing
neuropathy
• chemo affects structural & energy-producing elements in
nerve cells
4. chemotherapy induced
peripheral neuropathy
o vincristine
» weakness is prominent
» can cause autonomic and cranial nerve deficits
o cis-platinum
» accumulates in sensory nerve cells
» imbalance and loss of sensation is prominent
» can cause tinnitus, hearing loss
o oxaliplatin
» also accumulates in sensory nerve cells
» acutely, cold-induced pain and tingling in throat and limbs
» muscle cramps
» painful neuropathy
o taxanes
» sensory loss and some weakness
» can also cause autonomic dysfunction
o bevacizumab
o thalidomide
5. chemotherapy-induced
peripheral neuropathy
• no generally accepted prevention
• Ca/Mg infusions may have benefit (Oxaliplaten)
• several other treatments have been investigated
• glutathione
• N-acetylcysteine
• glutamine
• oxcarbazepine
• neurologic monitoring may help guide therapy
• neurologic examination
• QST
• bumps
• sweat testing
6. chemotherapy induced
peripheral neuropathy
• treatment of CIPN pain is difficult
– most drugs that have been proven beneficial in painful diabetic
neuropathy have had negative trials in CIPN
– recent modestly positive trial with Duloxetine
– topicals safe
» baclofen/amitriptyline/ketamine study marginally positive
» topical lidocaine
– reasonable to try other medications used for neuropathy pain
7. “chemobrain”
• a lot to learn yet; mechanisms under investigation
• affects concentration, processing speed, and
memory
– patient-specific factors may contribute
• treatment is symptomatic
– general health measures
– cognitive interventions
– treatment of sleep disruption, anxiety, depression if present
– consider medications
8. risks of chemotherapy in the CNS
QuickTime™ and a
decompressor
• encephalopathy usually resolves within days
are needed to see this picture.
– ifosfamide
– MTX
• PRES
• stroke (Bevacizumab, other VEGF inhibitors, L-asparaginase)
• aseptic meningitis (esp with MTX or ara-C given IT)
• spinal cord syndrome – ara-C
• cerebellar syndrome – ara-C
• paclitaxel acute pain syndrome – axial joints, days in duration
• oxaliplaten cold sensitivity
• ATRA (x-retinoic acid) pseudotumor-like syndrome
– chronic CNS effects
• leukoencephalopathy following MTX
9. effects of radiation therapy in
CNS
• can injure normal cells as well as tumor cells
• inflammation
• interruption of BBB
10. radiation-induced
peripheral nerve injury
– typically causes gradually progressive weakness
– develops months-years after radiation
– progresses for years
– blood thinners and steroids have been proposed
– Pentoclo (pentoxyphylline/tocopherol/clodronate-
prednisone)
– optic nerve and nerves of head and neck can be affected
after treatment of skull base or pituitary tumors
» intravitreal bevacizumab
11. Short-term CNS risks of
radiation therapy
• acute syndromes (days-weeks)
– acute encephalopathy
» breakdown of BBB
» swelling around brain tumors and exacerbation of
tumor symptoms
» headache, nausea
• subacute syndromes (2 weeks – 4 months)
– transient worsening of symptoms from brain tumors
– somnolence
– localized brain dysfunction affecting normal brain in field for
extracranial tumors
– subacute syndromes are due to transient demyelination
» can mimic tumor progression
» may improve with steroid therapy
12. long-term CNS risks with
radiation therapy
• radiation necrosis 3 mos – 2 years
– when related to radiation for brain tumors, can be
difficult to distinguish from tumor recurrence
– surgery, steroids, Bevacizumab
QuickTime™ and a
decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
• spinal cord syndrome (Brown-Sequard)
• cerebral atrophy, often with white matter change
– can be associated with cognitive/memory symptoms
• SMART syndrome
– stroke-like migraine attacks after RT
13. long-term CNS risks with
radiation therapy
QuickTime™ and a
decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
• delayed leukoencephalopathy
– white matter (deeper brain structures) affected
– can affect memory and personality
– commonly related to methotrexate with radiation
– attempts to treat with methylphenidate, donepizil
• radiation-induced vasculopathy (stroke)
– large blood vessels in neck (often head and neck
tumors)
– small blood vessels in brain (brain tumors)
– radiation-induced cavernous malformations and
aneurysms
