This document discusses diabetes mellitus and insulin. It defines the two major types of diabetes as Type 1 (caused by beta cell destruction) and Type 2 (caused by relative beta cell deficiency and decreased tissue sensitivity). The key signs and symptoms of diabetes are described. The discovery of insulin by Banting, Best, and others in the 1920s is summarized. The mechanisms of action, absorption, and types of insulin are outlined. Factors affecting glucose homeostasis and the treatment of diabetes with insulin are also summarized.
This PPT covers Drug therapy for Hyperlipoproteinemia/ hyperlipidemia. It includes the basic concepts of Lipoproteins like LDL,HDL,VLDL, LDL and Chylomicron. Pharmacotherapy of all hyperlipidemic drugs are covered.

Insulin is a peptide hormone, produced by beta cells of the pancreas, and is central to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, skeletal muscles, and fat tissue to absorb glucose from the blood. In the liver and skeletal muscles, glucose is stored as glycogen, and in fat cells (adipocytes) it is stored as triglycerides.
Glucose is the main sugar found in the blood. The body get glucose from the food we eat.
This sugar is an important source of energy and provides nutrients to the body’s organs, muscles and nervous system.
Blood sugar concentration, or glucose level, refers to the amount of glucose present in the blood of a human.

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.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
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.
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
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.

15. 1869 - Paul Langerhans
- Pancreas contains 2 distinct types of cells
- Acinar cells – secrete digestive enzymes
- Islet cells - some other function
1889 - Minkowski &Von Mering
- Pancreatectomized dogs exhibit a syndrome similar to human Diabetes
1903 – 1909 - Nicolas Paulesco
- Injection of pancreatic extracts reduces urinary sugar & ketones in diabetic dogs
- Published the results indicating isolation of glucose-lowering substance
History of Insulin
16. 1921:
• Frederick Banting (Canadian surgeon), with permission of
• J.J.R. Macleod (Professor of Physiology,Toronto), together with
• Charles Best (Fourth year medical student)
- Assessed Antidiabetic principle of pancreas
- Assumed that the pancreatic extract was destroyed by the proteolytic enzymes
- Ligated the pancreatic duct – Acinar tissues degenerated – Islets undisturbed
• With help of J. B. Collip (Chemist with expertise in extraction & purification of Epinephrine)
• Extracted the active extracts
17. 1922:
• LeonardThompson – 1st patient to receive the active extract of pancreas
• Age of 14 years, presented with blood glucose level of 500 mg/dl
• Despite rigid diet control, he excreted large quantities of glucose in urine
• Without insulin, he would likely have died
• After administration of pancreatic extract,
- Marked decrease in blood glucose level & urinary excretion
- Marked clinical improvement
⇓
Eventually, stable extracts were obtained & patients were treated
From porcine & bovine sources
18. 1923: Nobel prize to Banting & Macleod
• Since conflicts about credits,
• Banting shared his prize with Best
• Macleod with Collip
1958: Nobel prize to Frederick Sanger
• Amino acid sequence of insulin
1964: Nobel prize to Dorothy Hodgkin and coworkers
• Three-dimentional structure of insulin

20. • Doses & concentrations of insulin are measured in InternationalUnits (I.U.)
• In past, hormone preparations were impure
• Bioassay was used to standardise the hormone
1 Unit of insulin:
• “The amount required to reduce the blood glucose
concentration to 45 mg/dl (2.5 mM) in a fasting rabbit.”
U-100 :
• Insulin suspension at a concentration of 100 U/ml
• ∼ 3.6 mg/ml
U-40 andU-500
Insulin Bioassay
22. • Distribution: only extracellularly
• Peptide – if given orally, degraded in g.i.t.
• Metabolism: Liver > muscles, kidney
• Nearly half of it entering in portal vein is inactivated in the first passage through liver
• Liver – exposed to much higher (4-8 fold) concentration than other tissues
• Degradation – disulphide bonds are reduced,A & B chains separated.
• Plasma half life : 5 – 9 min
Fate of Insulin
23. (1) Hypoglycaemia:
• Most frequent, most serious
• Patients with ‘labile’ diabetes, in whom insulin requirements fluctuate unpredictably
Reasons:
• Injection of large dose of insulin
• Missing a meal after injection
• Vigorous exercise
Reactions to Insulin
24. • Symptoms:
Due to counter-regulatory sympathetic stimulation:
• sweating, anxiety, palpitation, tremor, etc.
Due to deprivation of brain of glucose (Neuroglucopenic):
• Dizziness, headache, behavioural changes, visual disturbances, fatigue, weakness, etc.
Finally, if blood glucose is < 40 mg/dl:
• Mental confusion, seizure, coma, irreversible neurological deficit
25. Hypoglycaemic Unawareness:
• After long term treatment – 30% patients lose adrenergic symptoms
• Diabetic neuropathy can abolish the autonomic symptoms
• In patients who experience frequent episodes of hypoglycaemia
Treatment: (Hypoglycaemia):
• Glucose is a must, orally or i.v. – reverses the symptoms rapidly
• If glucose not available or patient not able to take glucose orally,
• Glucagon 0.5 – 1 mg i.v., or
• Adrenaline 0.2 mg s.c.
26. (2) Insulin resistance:
If insulin requirement > 100 U/day
Common with beef / pork insulin, less with human insulin
Mechanism:- Antibody to homologous contaminating protein
(3) Local reactions:
• Swelling, erythema, stinging
• Lipodystrophy of s.c. fat, if same site is used repeatedly.
(4) Allergy:
• Due to contaminating proteins
• Urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis
(5) Edema:
• Due to Na+ retention
29. • Facilitates glucose transport across cell membrane;
• Skeletal muscles & fat are highly sensitive
• Intracellular glucose is the limiting factor in these & some other tissues
• Other tissues, it is largely independent of insulin
• Ketoacidosis – interferes with glucose utilization by brain – diabetic coma
• Muscular activity - ↑ed glucose entry without insulin need – insulin sparing effect
• Upregulation of GLUT synthesis
• Regulates dynamic equilibrium between,
Intracellular pool of vesicles containing GLUT4 & GLUT1, and
GLUT vesicles inserted into the membrane
Actions on Glucose
30. • ↑ed Phosphorylation of glucose (first step in glucose utilization)
• Stimulates enzyme glycogen synthase – ↑ed glycogen synthesis
• Inhibits glycogen degrading phosphorylase – ↓ed glycogenolysis in liver
• Insulin inhibits gluconeogenesis (from protein, FFA, glycerol) by ↓ed synthesis of PEP
carboxykinase
Insulin deficiency:
• Proteins & AAs are funnelled into liver – converted into carbohydrate & urea –
underutilization & over production of glucose – hyperglycaemia – glycosuria
31. • Insulin Inhibits lipolysis & stimulatesTG synthesis

Factors affecting absorption of insulin
37. • Older preparations – beef & pork pancreas
• 1% (10,000 ppm) other proteins (proinsulin, pancreatic proteins, insulin derivatives, etc.)
• Potentially antigenic
Highly purified insulin preparations:
• ‘single peak’ & ‘monocomponent’ (MC) insulins - < 10 ppm proinsulin
• MC insulins are more stable, less insulin resistance or injection site
38. Limitations:
• Peak action only after 2-3 hours
• When injected just before meal,
creates mismatch between
meal & insulin availability
• S.c. injection is not suitable for
low constant basal level of
action in interdigestive period
• Slow onset is not applicable to
i.v. injection, as hexamers
dissociate rapidly – prompt

39. • To overcome the fore mentioned problems
• Rapidly acting
• Peak less, longer acting insulins
• Insulin is rendered insoluble by –
Precipitating it with excess of zinc & increasing particle size, or
Complexing it with protamine
• Available preparations –
Lente insulin ( insulin – zinc suspension )
NPH / Neutral Protamine Hagedorn / Isophane insulin
‘Retard’ or ‘Modified’ Insulin Preparations
40. NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) or Isophane insulin:
• Protamine is added to fix the insulin molecules
• S.c. injection – dissociates slowly
• Intermediate action
• Combined with regular insulin (70:30 or 50:30)
• Twice daily (before breakfast & dinner)
Ultralente Semilente Lente

41. • Recombinant DNA technology
• E.coli – ‘prb’ (Proinsulin Recombinant Bacterial)
• Yeast – ‘pyr’ (PrecursorYeast Recombinant)
• emp – Enzymatic Modification of Porcine insulin
• More water soluble & hydrophobic than porcine or bovine insulin
• Slightly more rapid s.c. absorption
• Earlier & more defined peak
• Slightly shorter duration of action

hyperglycaemia
59. Limitations:
• No definite advantage over multidose s.c. insulin has been demonstrated
• Cost
• Strict adherence to diet, exercise
• Risk of pump failure
• Care of the device
• Infection at the site
• Suitable for selective type 2 DM patients only
62. • Insulin injected s.c. without a needle
• Jet flow of insulin is injected directly into s.c. tissue
63.
64. • Intraperitoneal
• Rectal
• Oral (by combining insulin with liposomes or coating with impermeable polymer)
• Advantage:
• Higher concentrations into portal circulation, i.e. more physiological
65. Concept:
• To compensate the spatial distance between patient and physician using
telecommunication devices
• Drug delivery via insulin pump is remotely controlled by GSM modem
