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

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

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

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.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
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.

2. Febrile seizures
A “febrile seizure” or “febrile convulsion” is a seizure
accompanied by a fever in the absence of intracranial
infection.
Febrile seizures are seizures that
occur between the age of 6 months and 5 years or 6 years
with a temperature of 38°C or higher
that are not the result of central nervous system infection or
any metabolic imbalance.
and that occur in the absence of a history of prior afebrile
seizures
3. The most common seizure disorder during
childhood.
The incidence approaches 3–4% of young children.
Simple febrile seizures
Generalized at onset usually tonic–clonic
Last less than 15 minutes,
Occur only once in a 24-hour period.
In a neurologically and developmentally normal child.
4. Complex or atypical febrile seizure.
If there are focal features.
Seizure lasts longer than 15 minutes .
Recurs within 24 hours.
If the child has preexisting neurologic challenges.
Febrile status epilepticus is a febrile seizure lasting
longer than 30 min.
6. 30–50% of children have recurrent seizures with later episodes of fever
Note
< 12 months at 1st attack : 50% 2nd attack
> 12 months at 1st attack : 30% 2nd attack
Those with 2nd attack : 50% at least one another attack.
Although approximately 15% of children with epilepsy have had febrile
seizures.
only 2-7% of children who experience febrile seizures proceed to develop
epilepsy later in life.
9. Risk Factors for Recurrence of Febrile Seizure
Risk Factors for Recurrence of Febrile Seizure
Major
• Age < 1 year
• Duration of fever < 24 hours
• Fever 38-39°C
Minor
• Family history of febrile seizures
• Family history of epilepsy
• Complex febrile seizure
• Daycare
• Male gender
• Lower serum sodium at time of presentation
10. Risk Factors for Occurrence of Subsequent Epilepsy
After a Febrile Seizure
Risk Factor Risk for subsequent
epilepsy
Simple febrile seizure 1 %
Recurrent febrile seizures 4 %
Complex febrile seizures (more than 15
minutes duration or recurrent within 24
hours)
6 %
Fever < 1 hour before febrile seizure 11 %
Family history of epilepsy 18 %
Complex febrile seizures (focal) 29 %
Neurodevelopmental abnormalities 33 %
11. Genetic Factors
The genetic contribution to the incidence of febrile
seizures is manifested by a positive family history for
febrile seizures in many patients.
In some families, the disorder is inherited as an
autosomal dominant trait
Multiple single genes that cause the disorder have
been identified in such families.
12. Evaluation
Each child who presents with a febrile seizure requires a
detailed history and a thorough general and
neurologic examination.
Febrile seizures often occur in the context of otitis media,
roseola and human herpesvirus (HHV) 6 infection,
shigella, or similar infections, making the evaluation more
demanding.
In patients with febrile status, HHV-6B (more frequently)
and HHV-7 infections were found to account for one-third
of the cases.
13.
14. Lumbar Puncture
Meningitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis .
Seizure-induced CSF abnormalities are rare in children and all
patients with abnormal CSF after a seizure should be thoroughly
evaluated for other causes.
Indication of LP
lumbar puncture should be performed for all infants younger
than 6 months of age who present with fever and seizure
Or if the child is ill appearing.
Or at any age if there are clinical signs or symptoms of concern.
15. Optional LP
A lumbar puncture is an option in a child 6 - 12 months
of age who is deficient in Haemophilus inflenzae type b
and Streptococcus pneumoniae immunizations
or for whom immunization status is unknown.
A lumbar puncture is an option in children who have
been pretreated with antibiotics.
16. Electroencephalogram
If the child is presenting with the first simple febrile
seizure and is otherwise neurologically healthy, an EEG
need not normally be performed as part of the evaluation.
An EEG would not predict the future recurrence of febrile
seizures or epilepsy even if the result is abnormal.
EEG is not warranted after a simple febrile seizure but
complex seizure or with other risk factors for later epilepsy
17. Blood Studies
Blood studies (serum electrolytes, calcium, phosphorus,
magnesium, and complete blood count) are not routinely
recommended in the work-up of a child with a first simple
febrile seizure.
Blood glucose should be determined in children with
prolonged postictal obtundation or with poor oral intake
(prolonged fasting).
Serum electrolyte values may be abnormal in children after
a febrile seizure, but this should be suggested by
precipitating or predisposing conditions elicited in the
history and reflected in abnormalities of the physical
examination.
18. Blood Studies
If clinically indicated (e.g., in a history or physical
examination suggesting dehydration), these tests
should be performed.
A low sodium level is associated with higher risk of
recurrence of the febrile seizure within the following
24 hr.
19. Neuroimaging
A CT or MRI is not recommended in evaluating the child after a first
simple febrile seizure.
The work-up of children with complex febrile seizures needs to be
individualized.
This can include an EEG and neuroimaging, particularly if the child is
neurologically abnormal.
Approximately 11% of children with febrile status epilepticus are
reported to have (usually) unilateral swelling of their hippocampus
acutely, which is followed by subsequent long-term hippocampal
atrophy. Whether these patients will ultimately develop temporal lobe
epilepsy remains to be determined
20. TREATMENT
In general, antiepileptic therapy, continuous or intermittent, is not
recommended for children with 1 or more simple febrile seizures.
Parents should be counseled about the relative risks of recurrence of
febrile seizures and recurrence of epilepsy, educated on how to handle
a seizure acutely, and given emotional support.
If the seizure lasts for longer than 5 min, acute treatment with
diazepam, lorazepam, or midazolam is needed .
Rectal diazepam is often prescribed to be given at the time of
reoccurrence of a febrile seizure lasting longer than 5 min.
Alternatively, buccal or intranasal midazolam may be used and is often
preferred by parents. Intravenous benzodiazepines, phenobarbital,
phenytoin, or valproate may be needed in the case of febrile status
epilepticus
21. Because of the potential for side effects, daily administration of
anticonvulsant medication is not recommended.
Administration of antipyretics during febrile illnesses does not prevent
febrile seizures.
Antipyretics can decrease the discomfort of the child but do not reduce
the risk of having a recurrent febrile seizure, probably because the
seizure often occurs as the temperature is rising or falling.
22. Chronic antiepileptic therapy may be considered
for children with a high risk for later epilepsy.
Currently available data indicate that the
possibility of future epilepsy does not change with
or without antiepileptic therapy.
Iron deficiency is associated with an increased
risk of febrile seizures, and thus screening for that
problem and treating it appears appropriate.
Editor's Notes
n of FEB 2 is known: it is a sodium channel gene, SCN1A.Almost any type of epilepsy can be preceded by febrile seizures, anda few epilepsy syndromes typically start with febrile seizures. Thse aregeneralized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS +), severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (also called Dravet syndrome), and, inmany patients, temporal lobe epilepsy secondary to mesial temporal sclerosis.
