NVBDCP.pptx Nation vector borne disease control programSapna Thakur
NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
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

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

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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.

12. Inhibition/Slowness of thinking
•Thinking is goal directed
•But proceeds so slowly, with such morbid
preoccupation with gloomy thoughts, that the
person may fail to achieve those goals.
13. •Difficulty in concentration
• There is loss of clarity of thought and poor
registration of those events he needs to
remember
•Seen in – depression
rarely in Manic stupor
•Can be mistakenly diagnosed as dementia
14. Disorders of

of thinking
Disorders of
Continuity of
thinking
• Perseveration
• Thought block
17. Thought block
•Occurs when there is sudden arrest in train of thought,
leaving a ‘blank’
•an entirely new thought may then begin
•Seen in patients with- schizophrenia
anxiety
18.
19.
20. Obsessions
•Thought that persists and dominates an individual’s
thinking despite the person’s awareness that it is
without purpose and irrelevant.
•Important feature-
A. thought causes sufferer a great anxiety and guilt.
B. Appears against patient’s will
•We can only call a mental event an obsession if it is
normally under the control of the patient and can be
resisted by the patient.
21. Compulsion
s•Obsession Compulsion(motor acts)
•Important feature- compulsions will cause relief in
symptoms of anxiety caused d/to obsessions.
•Obsessions are seen in- obsessional states
schizophrenia
organic states
•But compulsive features are common in post
encephalitic parkinsonism.
22.
23. Thought Alienation
•THOUGHT ALIENATION- Patient has the
experience that their thoughts are under the control of
an outside agency or that others are participating in
their thinking.
•THOUGHT INSERTION- thoughts that do not
have the feeling of familiarity of being his own, but he
feels that they have been put in his mind
commonly associated with schizophrenia
24. •THOUGHT WITHDRAWL- Patient believes
that his thoughts are in some way being taken out
of his mind;
a feeling of loss resulting from this process
•THOUGHT BROADCAST- patient
experiences his thoughts withdrawn from his mind
and then projected over a wide area
25.
26. Delusions
•Unshakable assumption about the world the patient
inhabits, which he does not create by a process of logical
conscious thought but from false premises.
•Cannot be deduced from other morbid phenomenon
•Delusion like ideas- can be deduced from other morbid
phenomenon
•Overvalued ideas- thought that, because of the
associated feeling tone, takes precedence over all other
ideas for a long time
27. •Primary delusions are seen in-
schizophrenia, certain organic states as
well as psychotic illnesses.
•Schneider (1959) suggested that delusional
experiences can be reduced to three forms:
– delusional mood
– delusional perception
– sudden delusional idea.
28. •In the delusional mood, the patient has the
knowledge that there is something going on
around him that concerns him, but he does not
know what it is.
•In the delusional perception is the attribution of
a new meaning, usually in the sense of self-
reference, to a normally perceived object.
• In the sudden delusional idea, a delusion
appears fully formed in the patient’s mind.
29. Secondary delusions & Systematization
•Can be understood as arising from some other morbid
experience such as
- depressive mood
-psychogenic or stress reactions
•Ex- a depressed person with decreased self esteem may
think he is responsible for a crime which he did not commit
in reality
30.
31. DELUSION of GRANDIOSITY:
•Patients may believe they are God, the Queen of
England, a famous rock star, skilled sportspersons or great
inventors.
•These delusions may be supported by auditory
hallucinations, which tell the patient that they are
important
•Most commonly associated with Manic psychoses in the
context of bipolar affective disorder
32. DELUSION OF PERSECUTION:
•It may occur in the context of
primary delusional experiences,
auditory hallucinations,
bodily hallucinations, or
experiences of passivity.
•Ideas and delusions of reference can occur in
schizophrenia,
depressive illness and
other psychotic illnesses.
33. DELUSION OF LOVE:
•Also described as ‘the fantasy lover syndrome’ and
‘erotomania’.
•The patient is convinced that some person is in love with
them although the alleged lover may never have even
spoken
•Might pester the victim with letters and unwanted
attention of all kinds.
•Occasionally, it may be found in abnormal personality state.
34. DELUSIONS OF ILL-HEALTH:
•Patient develops concerns about health and may develop
delusions or overvalued ideas of ill health
•Individuals with delusions of ill health believe that they
have a serious disease, such as cancer, tuberculosis, AIDS, a
brain tumour, etc.
•Delusions of ill health can be seen in:
depressive illnesses,
schizophrenia
35. DELUSION OF GUILT:
•In mild depression, the patient may be self-reproachful
and self-critical.
•In severe depressive illness, self-reproach may take the
form of delusions of guilt, when the patient believes that
they are a bad or evil person and have ruined their family.
•In very severe depression, the delusions may even appear
to take on a grandiose character and the patient may
assert that they are the most evil person in the world.
•Delusions of guilt may also give rise to delusions of
persecution.
36. DELUSION OF POVERTY:
•The patient with delusions of poverty is convinced
that they are impoverished and believe that their
family is going through misery.
•Typical of depression.
37. DELUSION OF INFIDELITY:
•Patient tends to have morbid jealousy
•Often he is suspicious, sensitive and mildly
jealous before the onset of the illness.
•Delusions of infidelity may occur in:
– schizophrenia
– organic brain disorders
– alcohol dependence syndrome
– affective psychosis
38. NIHILISTIC DELUSIONS:
•Occur when the patient denies the existence of their body
/mind / their loved ones and the world around them.
•They may assert that they have no mind, no intelligence,
or that their body or body parts do not exist
•Seen in:
-severe, agitated depression
-schizophrenia
-delirium.
39.
40. FEATURES OF HEALTHY THINKING
According to Schneider:
•Constancy: characteristic of a completed thought that does
not change in content unless it is superseded by another
consciously derived thought.
• Organisation: contents of thought are related to each
other in consciousness and are separated in an organized way.
• Continuity: There is a continuity of the sense continuum
41. Schneiders’ features of formal thought disorder
• Thought slides into a supplementary
thoughtDerailment
• Major thought is substituted by a
supplementary oneSubstitution
• Senseless omission of a thought or a
part of itOmission
• Heterogeneous elements of thought are
interwoven with each otherFusion
• Disordered intermixture of constituent
parts of one thoughtDriveling
42. Formal thought disorders
are characterized by
disturbance in the form or
flow and connectivity of
thought
Formal Thought Disorders
43. 1. TANGENTIALITY:
•Patient tends to wander away from the intended
point
•Such that the central idea is not communicated
•Ex-
Q- Where is your home address?
A- You touched a good topic. I bought my home for
3 crore but due to demonetisation I had only 70L.
And I don’t know I am very frustrated and pissed
of…
44. 2. WORD SALAD
•a/k/a - Schizophasia
•Incoherent and incomprehensible mixture of words
and phrases
45. 3. NEOLOGISM
•New words that are constructed by the patient or
ordinary words that are used in a new way
•New words are such formed that
-derivation cannot be understood
-distortion of another word
-word that has been incorrectly constructed
•In motor aphasia, phonetic structure of word is
distorted
46. 4. LOOSENING OF ASSOSCIATION
•Speech disturbance involving a disorder of logical
progression of thought
•Manifested as a failure to communicate verbally
adequately
•Unrelated and unconnected ideas shift from one subject to
another
47. 5. CLANG ASSOCIATION:
•Refers to a sequence of thoughts stimulated by the sound
of preceding words rather than their meaning
•May lead to rhyming
•Seen in manic patients
Editor's Notes
Example- I had my flight yesterday..flight was of jet airways..jet airways flight has air hostess..air hostess was sapna..sapna is the name of my friend’s wife..wife eats chicken..chicken lives in farms..
Normally, a person experiences one’s thinking as being one’s own,
But in this there is a loss of control& possession of thought.
for example, the patient gives a detailed account of their coronation or marriage to the king. )
If there is no response to their letters, they may claim that
their letters are being intercepted, that others are maligning
them to their lover, and so on.
