Echocardiography uses ultrasound to examine the heart. Different techniques are used, including M-mode for motion over time, 2D for cross-sectional imaging of anatomy and measurements, and Doppler to study blood flow velocity and direction. Views are obtained by positioning the transducer in different locations and orientations to visualize cardiac structures in various planes, such as parasternal long and short axis, apical 4-chamber, and subcostal. Proper transducer positioning is important for high quality imaging of the heart.
A transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE, is an alternative way to perform an echocardiogram. A specialized probe containing an ultrasound transducer at its tip is passed into the patient's esophagus. This allows image and Doppler evaluation which can be recorded. It has several advantages and some disadvantages compared with a transthoracic echocardiogram.

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!

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.
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

Echo.basics
1.
2. Echocardiography is simply an ultrasound examination of
the heart.During the examination, various different
ultrasound modes or techniques are employed.
-'M' mode produces a graphic tracing of the movement of a
cardiac structure such as a valve leaflet over time.
-Two dimensional echocardiography allows real time
cross sectional imaging of the heart . This technique
provides most of the information regarding the anatomy,
most measurements of the heart.
-Doppler echocardiography uses ultrasound to study the
velocity, direction and character of flowing blood through the
structures of the heart.
18. Each immage is determined by:
-The transducer position (parasternal, apical, subcostal,
suprasternal) Transducer position is altered by placing
the transducer at various locations on the thorax
-The tomographic view (long axis, short axis, 4- chamber,
5 chamber(.
which is often manipulated by a combination of angulation
and rotation of the transducer from the same position.
LOOK TO THE DIRECTION OF THE
ULTRASOUND BEAM
21. Parasternal long axis
With the transducer in the 3rd or 4th right intercostal
space immediately adjacent to the sternum and
patient in left lateral decubitus a long-axis view of
the heart is obtained which bisects the aortic and
mitral valve, Proper positioning of the probe results
in the ascending aorta being relatively horizontal in
orientation.
Lower intercostal positions may be necessary in
patients with vertically oriented hearts due to
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
22.
23.
24.
25.
26. Right ventricular inflow and outflow
Inferomedial angulation from the parasternal long-axis
position is performed to obtain the "right ventricular
inflow" view which includes the right atrium,
coronary sinus, septal and anterior leaflets of the
tricuspid valve and basal right ventricle
•Superior angulation of the probe permits depiction
of the right ventricular outflow tract, including the
pulmonic valve and main pulmonary artery.

30. From the PLA orientation, a 90° clockwise rotation of
the transducer with superior and inferior
transducer manipulations permits delineation of the
parasternal short axis (PSA) views:
-At the base (aortic valve) view
-Mid (mitral valve ) view
-Mid ( papillary muscle) view
-And apical levels view
Parasternal short axis
70°to 110° clockwise
34. At the basal (aortic valve) level, the right atrium, septal
and anterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve, right
ventricular free wall, right ventricular outflow tract,
pulmonic valve, main pulmonary artery, and left
atrium can be seen "surrounding" the centrally
oriented aortic valve.
All three leaflets of the aortic valve may be identified,
forming a "Y" configuration during ventricular
diastole and "upside-down triangle" during
ventricular systole
35.
36.
37. Slightly inferior angulation mitral valve
level appears and the mitral orifice has a
characteristic "ovoid" or "fish-mouth"
appearance. the anterior mitral leaflet is
located superiorly.
- Slightly more inferior angulation results
in visualization of the contracting left
ventricle at the papillary muscle level ,
-More inferior angulation will visualize LV
at apex level

38. With the patient maintained in the left lateral
decubitus position, the transducer is placed near
the apex of the heart with an inferior orientation
In the apical four-chamber view, all four
chambers of the heart may be seen The left
ventricle appears as a truncated ellipse,RV
triangular with the interventricular septum, apex
formed by LV, and lateral walls visualized.

44. Apical five-chamber
•Anterior angulation and slight clockwise rotation of
the transducer permits imaging of the left
ventricular outflow tract, right and left leaflets of
the aortic valve, and proximal ascending aorta
.Anterior angulation alone (without rotation) often
allows imaging of the left atrial appendage.
45.
46. Apical two-chamber
Counterclockwise rotation from the apical
fourchamber orientation 60° results in
acquisition of the apical two-chamber view
In this orientation, the inferior and anterior
walls of the left ventricle are visualized,
along with the left ventricular apex and left
atrial chamber.
51. Apical three-chamber
Further 60° counterclockwise rotation from the apical
two-chamber permits acquisition of the apical 3-
champer view. the left ventricular outflow tract,
infero-post.wall ,anterior septum, aortic leaflets,
and proximal ascending aorta are seen The
posterior mitral leaflet is displayed to the left of the
screen and appears "shorter" than the anterior
leaflet. The leaflets demonstrate an eccentric
closure point.
60°
52.
53. Subcostal four-chamber
The subcostal views may be obtained either with the
patient in supine position with the knees bent to
relax the abdominal musculature. The transducer is
positioned immediately below or to the right of the
xiphoid process. This allows visualization of the
basal, mid, and apical right ventricle, the inferior
interventricular septum, and anterolateral left
ventricular walls. The interatrial septum is oriented
nearly perpendicular to the ultrasound beam.
54.
55.
56. Medial rotation of the
transducer results in
imaging of the hepatic
veins and inferior vena
cava as it enters the
right atrium .Further
angulation and posterior
direction allows imaging
of the abdominal aorta
57.
58. Subcostal short axis
In cases in which parasternal views are inadequate,
rotation of the probe inferiorly from the subcostal
four-chamber orientation will sometimes permit a
subcostal short-axis view at the base and mid-
ventricle. The anatomy depicted is similar to that
described for the parasternal orientation
59. Suprasternal view
With the patient supine and the neck extended, the
transducer is placed in the suprasternal notch to
obtain a long-axis image of the distal ascending,
transverse, and proximal descending aorta.
The take- off of the left carotid and left subclavian
artery may also be appreciated. Centrally positioned
and "beneath" the aortic arch is a short-axis of the
right pulmonary artery This view may be particularly
valuable for the evaluation of suspected patent
ductus arteriosus, aortic coarctation, or aortic
dissection.
