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!

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
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.

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
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.

Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
1. • Veterinary Gastrointestinal surgery
• Presented by
• Dr. Rekha Pathak
• Senior scientist , IVRI
The photographs have been collected from
different sources i.e. Internet, text books
etc
5. • Offers protection –
against – corrosive
/ digestive effects
of gastric acid and
pepsin (auto
digestion and
ulceration)
6. • Reduced mucosal
bl. Flow- local
ischemia – sepsis/
hemorrhagic shock
– sudden expulsion
of apical mucin –
circumscribed popn
of cells
7. • Reflux of bile salts
from duodenum to
stomach – bile salts –
more destructive than
pancreatic juices- act
as detergents that
solubilize lipid - cell
memb and inhibit the
ion transport sys.
8. • bile content – greatest – pyloric antrum –
ulcer region of stomach
• hyper secretion of HCL
– gastrinoma ie non beta islets cell tumour of
pancreas and hypergastinemia
– in renal failure (gastrin is removed by
kidneys)
9. – increased histamine: mastocytoma and Endotoxemia
and hemorrhagic shock
– NSAIDS- reduced secretion of mucus
• alters the biochemical composition of mucin
• ingestion of chemicals(arsenic ,cresote)
• Signs: vomiting (not immediately after
ingestion)
• eating – gastric pain- relieved by vomiting
• Hemet emesis and melena
• slow bleeding: coffee colored blood
• sudden - massive and semi clotted blood
10. • generalized peritonitis: gastric perforation
(mostly doesn’t occur due to effective sealing
with omentum)
• wt. loss – hepatic/ neoplastic
• additionally in calves : due to bleeding ulcers –
recumbent suddenly – cold extremity- subnormal
temp. tachycardia and dehydration- hypovolemic
shock and death 24 hrs
11. • Abomasal ulcers :
suckling calves and
adult cattle
(buffaloes)
• adult: 1st few wks of
partu.(stress and
lactation)
• Stress related
(summer months
independent of
partu.)
13. • Type I erosion and
ulcers with slight
hemorrhage
• Type II bleeding
ulcers
• Type III perforation
with acute
circumscribed
peritonitis
• Type IV perforation
with diffuse peritonitis
14. • Diagnosis:
• TRP ; pain on left
of xiphoid
• Abomasal ulcer:
pain on rt. side
15. • RG: double contrast:
create
pneumoperitoneum
and give barium
meal
• Barium: ulcers appear
as outpouchings from
lumen containing the
contrast material
17. • Endoscopy: not
in threatened
bleeding cases
(allows biopsies)
• Exploratory:
laparotomy if life
threatening
hemorrhage
18. Treatment
• Surgical excision
• Cranial midline incision
• Carefully palpate from fundus to pylorus
• If ulcers then – adhesion, serosal scarring
and irregular thickened areas on gastric
wall
19. • Inspect the
pancreas-
gastrinoma- p.
nodules
• If gastrinoma- en
block resection of a
lobe or complete
pancreas(90%
removal – no
endocrinal
insufficiency)
20. • If no ulcers found
• Open stomach- find the bleeding site- also
on pyloric antrum(equidistant from lesser /
greater curvature)
• Extend to duodenum if necessary
21. • Small ulcers :
elliptical incision-
mucosa closed –
simple continuous
– 3/0 or 4/0
absorbable chromic
and interrupted
Lambert on serosa
and muscularis
• Multiple ulcers on
pyloric part –
bilroth I
gastrectomy
technique
22. • Bilroth technique I :
ligate the rt. Gastric
artery near pylorus on
the lesser curvature
• Rt. Gastroepiploic
vessels ligated
• Take care not to injure
the pancreas
• Pyloric and gastric
branches supplying the
area to be resected are
ligated
23. • 2 st. intestinal
clamps are placed
across the pyloric
antrum
• another 2 are
placed distal to the
pylorus and avoid
the common bile
duct.
• Excise the pyloric
sphincter and canal
24. • Gastric mucosa is
apposed with 3-0
synthetic
absorbable suture
in an Cushing
pattern starting
from the lesser
curvature and
continuing towards
the greater
curvature
25. • Equal in size to the
duodenal dia
• Apposed – 3-0 –
synthetic absorbable,
polypropylene, or
nylon – lamberts
pattern
• Duodenum is then
anastamosed with
stomach
26. Gastric acute dilatation and
torsion
• Gastric dilatation-
volvulus (GDV)
• Only dilation common
in puppies
• Overeating/
parasitism
• Larger and giant
breeds – deep
chested
28. • Pathophysiology
• Rotation after dilation
• Aerophagia – source
of intragastric gas
• Distended stomach
(gas + fluid) – more
prone to rotation
• Prevents eructation –
esophagus and
emptying from
duodenum
• Distension increases
29. •Presses the caudal vena/ portal vein –
reduced venous return – red. CO. –
red. Tissue perfusion and shock
•Ischemic bowel – release toxins-
endotoxemia-shock and hypotension
•Red. Ventilation- pressure on
diaphragm
30. • Acid base and electrolyte disturbance
• Myocardial ischemia
• Rotation of stomach – strangulation
of gastric vessels- edema and anoxia
–gastric wall ulceration and necrosis
31. • Clinical signs
• Acute onset of cranial abd. Distention
• Vomiting
• Profuse salivation-pain
• Prolonged CRT, Pallor, weak pulse
• Shock (pooling of blood in spleen due to rotation
of splenic vessels, hypovolemia and
hypotension)
• Dyspnea
32. • RG signs: differentiate simple gastric
distension from GDV
• Gas filled stomach- 50-75% - splenic
position is normal if no volvulus
• In GDV –pylorus is located cranial/dorsal –
fundus
• Position of spleen may not be normal
33. • A tissue density line
dividing the gas filled
stomach into
compartments
• VD - pylorus is near
or near to the left of
the midline
• Gastric perforation-
pneumoperitoneum
• Clockwise 270
• Anticlockwise 90
34. • Preoperative care
• Gastric
decompression
• Needle
trocarization 18 G
needle
• Thrust on rt. Or
left wall – point of
greatest distension
35. • 2-3 needles – relieves
gas component of
distension
• Alternatively – if not
effectively reduced –
stomach
• Pass the s.tube
through mouth gag-
resistance is
encountered in gastro
esophageal junction –
rotate and advance
36. • Removal of
intragastric gas –
trocarization- corrects
the gastro esophageal
angle-allows passage
of S. tube
• Passage of st doesn’t
mean absence of g.
rotation
• Withdraw the tube
after decompression
37. • Sometimes for
decompression –
temporary Gastrotomy is
constructed
• Close the Gastrotomy
wound and proceed for
surgical correction of
rotation (Decompression
doesn’t always result in
normal gastric position)
• Shock therapy
38. • Surgical correction of volvulus
• If surgery is delayed – gastric necrosis worsens
• Reposition the stomach by derotating it
• Avoid injury to splenic v. (digital palpation of
esophagus reveals the direction of rotation
• Pylorus is a good / useful landmark – firm
consistency)
• See the viability of gastric tissue – necrosed
and non-viable – esp. the greater curvature is
damaged
39. • Serosal color,
thickness of wall and
vascular patency
• Partial gastrectomy
• Hemoperitoneum -
centesis of abdominal
cavity- splenic torsion
and gastric torsion
• Blue-black
areas/diffuse
petechial /ecchymotic
stomach- gastrectomy
not indicated –
becomes normal after
decompression
40. • Spleenectomy – damaged
• Gastropexy- red. Rate of
GDV
• Pyloric antral region is
fixed to the adjacent rt.
abdominal wall
• Gastropexy is always
performed on the rt. Side
of the stomach – some
rotation – still occur-
bet.left gastric wall and
left abd.wall
41. G. neoplasm
• Avg. age 8 y
• Alimentary tract: oral
cavity – rarely in
stomach
• Persistent vomiting
unrelated to eating
42. •Within the antrum on the lesser
curvature
•Metastasis: liver, lungs, spleen
•Leiomyoma/
rhabdomyosarcoma/polyps
(solitary or multiple)
43. • Polyps – due to
sharp fragment of
bones- resting for
long in antrum -
injure mucosa –
herniation of sub
mucosa
• Clinical signs;
anorexia
44. • Loss of wt.
Obstructing
gastric out flow
• Normal
peristalsis is
interfered
• Anemia
• Abd. Pain
45. • Emesis unrelated to
ingestion of food /water
• Melena
• palpation
• Exploratory laparotomy
47. • Endoscope
• Ultrasonography
• Adenocarcinoma:
most common
• Sex predilection for
males
• Treatment
• Chemotherapy: not
successful
48. • Surgical
• Gastrectomy: Partial
gastrectomy is done
• Removal of any portion of
the stomach and up to (30-
40%) in antrectomy
• Partial gastrectomy – 40-
70%
• Subtotal gastrectomy : 70-
90%
• Antrectomy: reconstruction-
gastroduodenostomy
(bilroth I ) or
gastrojejunostomy(II)
49. • Two variations of partial
gastrectomy
• A-C : stay sutures are
placed to elevate the
stomach and to minimize
leakage
• Necrotic tissue is excised
with a rim of viable tissue
• A two layer inverting
closure is used
• D-I : atraumatic forceps
are placed across viable
tissue and necrotic tissue
is excised
50. • The stomach body is
subsequently closed with
a parker- Kerr line
• The first inverting layer
suture is placed over the
clamps
• Remove clamps, pull and
invert the suture line
• Second inverting suture
row
52. • Bilroth II –
performed if more
radical gastrectomy
is required, if there
is excessive
duodenal
involvement or
both
53. Bloat
• Bloat : Major problems- GIT – cattle and
buffaloes
• Higher in buffaloes
• Acute/chronic
• Gaseous bloat – free gas - dorsal part of
rumen
• Frothy bloat – gas trapped with ingesta-
dispersed throughout the rumen content
54. • Acute: rapid feeding and sudden diet
change – large ruminants
• s. ruminants – large quantities of grain
ingestion/cereals
• More pressure on diaphragm –
hypoventilation and red. Venous return to
the heart
55. • signs: bulge on Para lumbar fossa
• Abdominal distension
• Cyanotic mm
• v. serious – lying down – asphyxiated –
open mouth- protruded tongue and
tachycardia
56. • Treatment: puncture wall – left side with
trocar and canula
• if frothy – antifoaming agents – turpentine
oil (80ml) + mustard oil (500-1000 ml)
• antifroth prepn. – bloatosil
• gives immediate relief to ailing animal
• avoid conc. – 2-3 days and leguminous
fodder
57. • Resort to rumenotomy / rumenostomy
• S. animal: IV- RL or oral soda bicarb
• Chronic bloat: TRP (FBS) – reticuloperitonitis/
fibrinous pneumonia – pleuritis involving the
vagus nerve
• Liver abscess, splenic cyst and abscess, enlarged
mediastinal lymph nodes, pyloric stenosis
• Rumen fistulation / rumenotomy can be done
58. • Rumen fistulation:
• Anesthesia and
surgical prepn.:
standing position
• Sternal recumb. –
