HIV AND AIDS is the most critical disease in the world.
Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).At the end of 2015, 17.0 million people were receiving ART worldwide; this represents 46% (43–50%) of the 36.7 million (34.0–39.8 million) people living with HIV.
HIV/AIDS remains one of the world's most significant public health challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.There is no functional cure for HIV or AIDS, meaning that there is no procedure or medication which has been scientifically proven to reliably eliminate the virus from a person's body or reverse the damage to the immune system.
"The global HIV/AIDS epidemic is an unprecedented crisis that requires an unprecedented response. In particular it requires solidarity -- between the healthy and the sick, between rich and poor, and above all, between richer and poorer nations. We have 30 million orphans already. How many more do we have to get, to wake up?"
-- Kofi Annan

Genital herpes is an important public health disease that can cause substantial morbidity if it is undiagnosed and untreated. Clinicians should suspect HSV infection in all patients presenting with ulcers in the genital area. Genital HSV infection increases the risk of HIV infection and people with both infections are more likely to transmit HIV to their sexual partners.

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
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

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

4. Pediculosis (Crabs) Animal parasite found in pubic hair of men and women Also, found on hair on chest, arms and face Do not live in scalp hair
5. Symptoms Itching Tiny dark brown spots on the skin or undergarments where they come in contact wth the affected area.
6. How Pediculosis is Spread Bodily contact w/ a person who has crabs Towels, clothing, bed sheets and toilet seats Adult lice can live up to ten days, while eggs (nits)live no longer than one month in clothing or bedding
7. Treatment Shampoo or lotion for pubic lice KWELL & RID Remaining Nits can be removed with a fine tooth comb.
9. Herpes A sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection.
10. How common is it? Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of five women 14 to 49 years of age) than in men (about one out of nine men 14 to 49 years of age). Genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, 16.2%, or about one out of six, people 14 to 49 years of age have genital HSV-2 infection.
11.
12. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called “fever blisters.” HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection.
13. Symptoms The first outbreak usually occurs within two weeks after the virus is transmitted, and the sores typically heal within two to four weeks. Other signs and symptoms during the primary episode may include a second crop of sores. flu-like symptoms, including fever and swollen glands.
14. Treatment There is no treatment that can cure herpes, but antiviral medications can shorten and prevent outbreaks during the period of time the person takes the medication.
15. Prevention Abstain from sexual contact, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.
16.
17. HIV Symptoms Rapid weight loss Fever Diarrhea Night sweats Feeling very tired Thrush (yeast infection of the mouth) Vaginal yeast infections (that often keep coming back after you have been treated).
21. True or False There is a cure for AIDS & HIV? (False)
22. How does AIDS spread? Exchange of bodily fluids: *Semen *Vaginal fluid *Blood *Other bodily fluids containing blood (for example, menses, bloody saliva) *Breast milk.
27. Gonorrhea A bacterial infection caused by Neisseria Gonorrhoeae that grows in warm and moist areas Such areas are cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, urethra, mouth, throat, eyes and anus. Creates a white discharge and inflammation of tissues.
28. Symptoms Can be seen between 2-5 days, but in men up to a month Burning and pain during urination Colorful or white discharge from infected areas Increased urination frequency
29. Illnesses Can lead to sterility Urinary tract infection Kidney failure Painful intercourse Meningitis Disseminated infections
30. How is it spread Spread by contact penis, vagina, mouth or anus. To babies from an infected mother
31. How is it spread Spread by contact penis, vagina, mouth or anus. To babies from an infected mother
32. Treatment A single shot of ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 125 mg or a single dose of Cefixime 400 mg taken by mouth are currently the recommended Antibiotic treatment Azithromycin (Zithromax) 2g in a single dose may be used for people who have severe allergic reactions to ceftriaxone, cefixime, or penicillin. Penicillin used to be the standard treatment, but it is not used any longer because it does not cure gonorrhea all the time. The CDC also Recommendeds against using a class of antibiotics called Fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin,ofloxacin, or levofloxacin).
36. Hepatitis An inflammatory disease in the liver created by inflammatory cells in the tissues of the organ It can be self healing over time, or can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis. There are 4 types of hepatitis, each one being worse case than the previous. Usually described by ascending order of A, B, C and D
37. Symptoms Unfortunetly symptoms for hepatitis is not very easy to see as it includes flu, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite and weight loss. The most common and easiest way is Jaundice, the yellowing of the white area of the eyes or darker urine.
38. Illneses Over time 80% of infected people will develop liver cirrhosis, fibrosis even cancer.
39. How is it spread Can be spread through unprotected sex Sharing of contaminated and non-sterilized needles or objects dealing with bodily fluids Infected mothers pass onto children
40. Treatment and Prevention Vaccines exist A and B but not C, E is underdevelopment and testing. To prevent spreading use sterile equipment for tattoos, or even sterile equipment for cocaine snorting. If infected, prevent alcohol consumption since it will create more damage to the liver.
