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.
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

1. Surgical Management of Hepatocellular
Carcinoma in Egypt in the Era of Liver
Transplantation and of Interventional Radiology
Refaat Kamel
Honorary Fellow of the European Board of
Transplantation
2. INTRODUCTION
• HCC is reaching epidemic proportions in
Egypt and will be on the rise.
• After controlling HCV, it will be the main
indication for LDLT in the coming years.
• Surgical Management of HCC should be
seen in the context of the various
modalities of treatment i.e. surgical
resection, transplantation and
interventional radiology.
• These should not be looked at in a
mutually exclusive way but rather in a
complimentary way
• An educated choice should be applied
with the added ingredient of wisdom
The Aim of the presentation is to demonstrate the place of surgical resection
Among the various modalities of treatment
3. Combinations of Therapy

• Patients with BCLC stage B and stage C HCC can tolerate
hepatic resection with low mortality, acceptable
morbidity, and survival benefits if resection is performed
under strict intraoperative ultrasonographic guidance
• These results indicate that BCLC recommendations need
revision Torzilli G, et al. Arch Surg. 2008;143:1082-90.
24. 3. Surgical Bridging the patient to LT
• For HCC within Milan Criteria the risk of drop out
is 12-56% within 6-12 months (lesion >3cm)
versus 0-10% for lesions <3 cm. This justifies
primary resection followed by bridge or salvage
transplantation for tumours <5cm.
• Also allows to know unfavourable pathologies
with a minimal waiting time of 3 months and up
to 6 months

27. Advantages
• Best possible complete
control of the tumour
• Possibility of selecting
patients with poor
prognostic signs in the
pathology such as
undifferentiated tumour,
satellite lesions,
microvascular ivasion,
capsular effraction
Disadvantages
• Higher cost
• Higher Periprocedural
risks
• Limited number of
suitable patients.
• Can Render the
transplant more
technically demanding
Surgical Bridging
Plays a role in well compensated patients with low pressure gradients with lesions not amenable
to other forms of treatment as lesions near the gall bladder pedunculated lesions, surface
and left lobe lesions
28. Bridging Resection followed by Transplantation
• In selected patients, liver
resection prior to
transplantation does not
increase the morbidity or
decrease the long term
survival following LT.
Therefore, liver resection can
be integrated in the treatment
strategy of HCC.
• The 5 year survival after
transplantation was 61% for
the primary transplant group
compared to 59% for the
secondary transplant group.

31. • Biologic behavior is probably as important as size and
number of tumors in terms of predicting post liver
transplantation events in the setting of hepatocellular
carcinoma and also risk of drop out
• Biopsy of HCC or use of advanced biomarkers
should be moved to a more common use in evaluating
patients with HCC outside of the Milan criteria. The
histopathology and the biomarkers may assist in
defining patients who have a poor prognosis and are
more likely to have recurrence of disease, and thus
practitioners can appropriately modify treatment options
opting more for surgical resections and interventional
radiology.
The Missing Link
32. 4. SURGICAL DOWNSTAGING
• The term applies to treatment aimed
at converting patients with tumour
burdens beyond conventional criteria
(for number, size, AFP, and viable
tissue at image) to within the limits of
Milan and UCSF criteria with the
purpose of making patients originally
excluded suitable for transplant
candidacy
33. Criteria for downstaging
• 1 lesion > 5 cm and up to 8 cm
• 2–3 lesions with 1 or more lesions > 3 cm
and not > 5 cm, with total tumor diameter
up to 8 cm
• 4–5 lesions with none > 3 cm, with total
tumor diameter up to 8 cm

41. Take Home Message
• A multidisciplinary approach for the management of patients
with HCC is ideal for optimising their choices.
• Multimodality treatments are not exclusive but rather
complimentary.
• The choice should be an educated one
• SURGERY RETAINS ITS ROLE AT THE LIMITATIONS OF
OTHER MODES OF TREATMENT
• Pushing the boundaries is a human habit!!
• The scene in HCC is very dynamic
• New players all the time (adjuvant therapy, TARE, etc.)
• Allow aggressive tumours to announce themselves
