This document summarizes different types of enteritis:
1. Acute enteritis is an acute inflammation of the small intestine most commonly caused by food or drink contaminated with pathogens. Symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea and fever.
2. Chronic enteritis is the chronic inflammation of the small intestine which may be hemorrhagic, necrotic, or granulomatous. Hemorrhagic enteritis in turkeys is caused by a Type II Adenovirus and causes sudden death and blood in the vent. Necrotic enteritis in poultry is caused by Clostridium perfringens and results in intestinal thickening and dark diarrhea.

Have you ever had
the "stomach flu?" What you probably had was gastroenteritis - not a
type of flu at all. Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the lining of the
intestines caused by a virus, bacteria or parasites. Viral gastroenteritis is
the second most common illness in the U.S. It spreads through contaminated food
or water, and contact with an infected person. The best prevention is frequent
hand washing.
Symptoms of
gastroenteritis include diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, fever
and chills. Most people recover with no treatment.
The most common
problem with gastroenteritis is dehydration. This happens if you do not drink
enough fluids to replace what you lose through vomiting and diarrhea. Dehydration
is most common in babies, young children, the elderly and people with weak
immune systems.
The slide is about enteric fever, also called typhoid fever. It explains the relevant anatomy, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, presentation, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It also specifies the prevention by way of lifestyle and vaccines
Foodborne diseases, also called foodborne illness, is an illness caused by eating contaminated food. Infectious organisms including; bacteria, viruses and parasites or their toxins are the most common causes of food poisoning
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
Itโs work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

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
ย
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

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
ย
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 Departmentโs official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Enteritis
(entero+itis) is inflammation of the small
intestine. It is most commonly caused by food or
drink contaminated with pathogenic microbes.
Symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping,
diarrhea, dehydration, and fever.
3. Acute enteritis
Acute enteritis - an acute inflammation of a small
intestine.
Etiology. Frequently arises at many infections
(cholera, typhoid, staphylococcal and virus
infection contaminations, sepsis, etc.), it can
appear especial at alimentary toxinfections
(salmonellosis, a botulism), poisoning (chemical
poisons, toxicant funguses, etc.). It is known
alimentary Acute enteritis (hyperalimentation, the
use of rasping food, spices, strong alcoholic drinks,
etc.) and allergic (an idiosyncrasy to foodstuff,
medicines).
4. Pathological anatomy. The acute enteritis can be
catharal, fibrinous, purulent, ulcerative.
a)In catharal enteritis, which meets most frequently,
the mucous membrane is hyperemic and
edematouse covered by serous, sero-mucous or
serous-purulent exudation. The inflammatory
infiltration involove not only in mucous membrane,
but also submucosal a layer. The dystrophia and a
desquamation of an epithelium are seen, especial on
apexes of villi.
5. b)In fibrinous enteritis, is more often an ileitis, the
mucosa of an intestine is necrotic and penetrated by
fibrinous exudation therefore on a surface of it there
are grey or gray-brown membranes. In dependence
on depth of a necrosis the inflammation can be
crupouse or diphteric.
c)The purulent enteritis is characterized by diffuse
infiltration of walls of an intestine by pus or
formation of pustules, is especial on a place of
lymphoid follicles.
6. d)At ulcerative enteritis destructive processes can
involve basically group and solitary lymphatic
follicles of an intestine, as it is observed in
typhoid. Thus the necrosis and ulceration have
wide-spread (flu, sepsis) or focal character.
Complications of an acute enteritis include a
bleeding, perforation of a wall of an intestine with
development of a peritonitis (for example, at a
typhoid), and also a dehydratation and a
demineralization (for example, at a cholera). In
some cases the acute enteritis can transformate
into chronic.
7. Chronic enteritis:
the chronic inflammation of small intestine.
>It may be haemorragic,necrotic or granulomatus.
a)Haemorrhagic Enteritis
A viral disease of turkeys, similar to pheasant Marble
Spleen disease, caused by Type II Adenovirus distinct
from classical fowl adenovirus and occurring in most
turkey-producing areas. The virulence of the virus
varies but morbidity may be 100% and mortality 10-
60%.
8. Signs
Sudden deaths.
Blood from vent of moribund birds.
Drop in feed and water consumption.
Diarrhoea.
Course 10-21 days.
Post-mortem lesions
Petechiae in various tissues.
Intestine distended with blood.
Spleen mottled and enlarged.
Microscopic - spleen shows lymphoid hyperplasia.
9. b)Necrotic Enteritis
An acute or chronic enterotoxemia seen in chickens,
turkeys and ducks worldwide, caused by Clostridium
perfringens and characterised by a fibrino-necrotic
enteritis, usually of the mid- small intestine.
Mortality may be 5-50%, usually around 10%.
Infection occurs by faecal-oral transmission.
Signs
Depression
Ruffled feathers
10. Inappetance.
Closed eyes.
Immobility.
Dark coloured diarrhoea
Post-mortem lesions
Small intestine (usually middle to distal) thickened
and distended.
Intestinal mucosa with diptheritic membrane.
Intestinal contents may be dark brown with
necrotic material
11. c)Granulomatous enteritis
ยท
Cause : form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
similar to Chron's disease in humans. Malabsorptive
and maldigestive condition most commonly affecting
the small intestine, although the large intestine can be
affected in advanced cases
although Mycobacterium avium has been implicated
in a few cases and familial predisposition is suspected
in horses .
12. โขยท Signs : insidious or rapid weight loss, poor
condition, lethargy, dependent edema, +/-
diarrhea, intermittent colic (Abdomen: pain โ
adult) and alopecia. Demeanor can remain bright
with good appetite or anorexia may be reported.
