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

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!

2. Content
Introduction
Causes
Types of Flail Chest
Pathophysiology of Flail chest
Clinical Features
Diagnostic modalities
Management of Flail Chest
Complications
Prognosis
3. INTRODUCTION
A flail chest occurs when a
segment of the rib cage
breaks under extreme
stress and becomes
detached from the rest of
the chest wall.
This is usually defined
as at least two fractures
per rib (producing a free
segment), in at least three
ribs.
4. Flail chest is an injury that involves 3 or more consecutive rib
fractures in two or more locations, producing a comminuted
fracture with a free-floating, unstable bony segment that is
detached from the remainder of the chest wall.
Associated injuries are common and should be aggressively
sought.
Pulmonary contusion is the most common local disturbance
in association with flail segment. Mortality is significant.
5. Most Common – Vehicle Accidents (76%)
Second most common – Falls, especially in elderly
population (weak, frail bones) (14%)
Third most common – blunt trauma in children,
especially those with genetic conditions, eg.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
CAUSES
6. Blunt Trauma- Blunt force to
chest. E.g. automobile crashes
and falls.
Penetrating Trauma- Projectile
that enters chest causing small
or large hole. E.g. gun shot and
stabbing.
Compression Injury- Chest is
caught between two objects
and chest is compressed.
7. TYPES OF FLAIL CHEST
ANTERIOR – Near costochondral region
POSTERIOR – safer
LATERAL - in ribs shafts
FLAIL STERNUM
8.
9.
10. CLINICAL FEATURES
Shortness of Breath
Paradoxical Movement
Bruising/Swelling
Crepitus (Grinding of bone ends on
palpation)
Tachycardia
Hypotension
11.
12. During normal
inspiration, the
diaphragm contracts
and intercostal
muscles pull the rib
cage out. Pressure in
the thorax decreases
below atmospheric
pressure, and air
rushes in through the
trachea.
During normal expiration,
the diaphragm and
intercostal muscles relax
increasing internal
pressure, allowing the
abdominal organs to push
air upwards and out of the
thorax.
The flail segment will be pulled
in with the decrease in pressure
while the rest of the rib cage expands.
a flail segment will also be
pushed out while the rest
of the rib cage contracts.
13. ASSESMENT
Frequent and prompt Respiratory assessment
Adequate oxygenation
Analgesia to improve ventilation.
Clearing secretion
Stabilize the thoracic cage
Deep breathing exercises
Intubation and mechanical ventilation may be required to prevent further
hypoxia
15. Principle of Management of Flail Chest
ABC’s with c-spine control as indicated
High Flow oxygen
Adequate analgesia (Including opiates)
Intra-plural local analgesia
Observe the patient for development of
Pneumothorax and even worse Tension
Pneumothorax
If Tension Develops Needle Decompress affected
side • Surgery -> internal operative fixation.
Rapid Transport! Remember a True Emergency
16. Splint and Bandage
Use Trauma bandage and Triangular
Bandages to splint ribs.
Can also place a bag of D5Won area
and tape down. (The only good use of
D5WI can find)
17. Analgesia
-Mainstay
Opioid Analgesics (risk of respiratory
depression)
NSAIDs
Thoracic or high lumbar Epidurals
with or without Opioid additives.
Posterior rib blocks (lasts up to 24
hours)
Instillation of L.A. into pleural space
through ICD (controversial)
18.
19. Intubation & Ventilation
(Rarely indicated)
Indicated for hypoxia due to pulmonary contusions.
The severity of flail injuries and associated contusions frequently
require endotracheal intubation and positive pressure mechanical
ventilation- IPPV. Double lumen tracheal tube with each tube
connected to a different ventilator
Optimal ventilatory management is crucial
Judicial IV fluids to avoid fluid overload.
23. Physiotherapy
To aid better drainage of secretions
To rebuild musculature
To reposition chest wall
Coughing exercises
Resistance exercises
Trunk exercises
24. Rehabilitation
12 week outpatient program for at least 3 days a week
patient should be seen for 30–45 minutes a day after a
5-10 minute warm up session.
After discharge, patient should be given an exercise
regimen to be performed at home.
25. COMPLICATIONS
Pneumonia
ARDS
Lung abscess
Emphysema
Hypoventilation
Atelectasis
Mediastinal flutter (mediastinal
structures tend to swing back n forth)
26. Prognosis
Mortality Rate of flail chest ranges from 10- 25%
Ventilation has little effect on outcome
