Gastrointestinal agents are drugs used to treat gastrointestinal disorders like achlorhydria, hyperacidity, constipation, and diarrhea. Acidifiers increase acid concentration in the GI tract and are used to treat achlorhydria. Dilute hydrochloric acid maintains or increases stomach acid levels and pH. Antacids neutralize excess stomach acid in hyperacidity. Common acidifiers and antacids include ammonium chloride, dilute hydrochloric acid, and sodium bicarbonate.

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
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

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.

Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
2. Gastrointestinal agents: These are the drugs which
are used in treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such
as achlorhydria, hyperacidity, constipation and
diarrhea.
3.
4. Acidifying agent or Acidifiers: Acidifiers are the agent which
increases acid concentration in GI Track. These drugs are
used in treatment of achlorhydia.
The empty stomach has pH 1.5 -2 and rises to pH 5-6 when
food is ingested. The stomach has low pH because of the
secretion of HCl. Gastric HCl act by destroying the bacteria in
the ingested food and drinks. It softens the fibrous food and
promotes the formation of the proteolytic enzyme pepsin. This
enzyme is formed from pepsinogen at acidic pH (>6). Pepsin
helps in the metabolism of proteins in the ingested food.
Therefore lack of HCl in the stomach can cause Achlorhydria.
Therefore acidifiers like dilute Hydrochloric acid is used to
maintains or increases the level of hydrochloric acid in
stomach, thus maintaining proper pH of the stomach.
5. Acholorhydria: It is an condition in which there is
absence or insufficient secretion of hydrochloric acid
in stomach called as achlorhydria.
So dilute Hydrochloric acid is used to treat Achlohydria.
Dilute Hydrochloric acid helps to maintains or
increases the level of hydrochloric acid in stomach,
thus maintaining proper pH of the stomach.
Symptoms of achlorhydria:
•Abdominal & epigastric pain
•Loss appetite
•Mild diarrhoea
•Confusion
•Sensitivity to spicy food.
•Frequent movements of bowel.
6. Classification of Acidifying agent or
Acidifiers
Acidifying agent or Acidifiers are classified
in to four types
•Gastric Acidifiers
•Urinary Acidifiers
•Systemic Acidifiers
•Acids
7. •Gastric Acidifiers: These are the drug which are used to
increase the acidity of the stomach in patient suffering
from Achlorhydria. So dilute Hydrochloric acid is used to
treat Achlohydria.
Dilute Hydrochloric acid helps to maintains or increases the
level of hydrochloric acid in stomach, thus maintaining
proper pH of the stomach.
•Urinary Acidifiers: These are the drugs which are used to
remove acidic urine from the body or to maintain the Ph of
the urine.
•Systemic Acidifiers: These are the drug which is able to
neutralize the alkaline body fluids, especially blood.
•Acids: These are used as pharmaceutical aids in the
preparation of medicaments.

13.
14. Combination of antacid preparations
As single antacid cannot meet all the requirements for an ideal antacid,
it is very difficult to prepare single ingredient antacid preparation
without side effects. Hence most of antacid preparations are available
in market in the form of combination. Most of the combinations are
based on two principles-
In an attempt to balance the constipating effect of calcium and
aluminium compounds, they are combined with laxative effect of
magnesium compound.
•Some of these products contain a fast acting antacid with others
having longer duration of action.
