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!
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.

HEAT AND COLD THERAPY.pptx
1. HEAT AND COLD THERAPY
Mdm Rozila Binti Ibrahim
September 2022
2. Learning Outcome
At the end of the session, student would be able to;
• Identify the definition and physiologic effect of heat and cold
compress
• Describe the type and principle of the heat and cold application
• Understand the side effect and complication heat and cold
application
• Elaborate nurses’ responsibility in application heat and cold to the
patient
10. LOCAL EFFECTS OF HEAT
• Old remedy use for aches and pains, promote
comfort and relief.
• Heat cause vasodilation, increase blood flow to
affected area, bringing oxygen, nutrient,
antibiotics and leukocytes.
• Often use clients with musculoskeletal problem,
joint stiffness from arthritis, contractures and
low back pain.
11.
12. LOCAL EFFECT OF COLD
• Cold lowers the body temperature due to
vasoconstriction.
• Vasoconstriction reduces blood flow reduce
oxygen and metabolic supply, decrease removal
of waste and produces skin pallor and coolness.
• Prolonged expose to cold result in impaired
circulation, cell deprivation and subsequent
damage tissue from lack of oxygen and
nourishment.
• The sign of tissue damage due to cold are a
bluish-purple mottled appearance of the skin,
numbness, blister and pain.
• Often use sport injury eg; sprains, strains,
fractures. Reduce swelling and bleeding
16. Hot water bag
• The water temperature not more than100°F (37.8°C) for babies and
children.
• 120°F - 100°F / (49°C - 37.8°C) for adults
• Hot water bags is also called hot water bottles, are rubber bags filled
with hot water and used for heat therapy. It is used to manage pain,
such as headache or arthritis, or keep yourself warm on a cold night.
• Hot water bottle are safer than electrical heating pads, which can
start fires or cause electric shocks.
• Hot water bags may cause injury if we don’t use carefully.
17. SYSTEMIC EFFECT OF HEAT AND COLD
Heat applied to localized area. Application to large body area may
cause excessive peripheral vasodilation drop in BP painting.
Extensive cold application and vasoconstriction, clients BP increase.
Shivering is general effect of prolong cold, respond to warm itself.
18. Thermal tolerance
• Various part of body differ in tolerance to heat and cold.
• The physiologic tolerance individual also varies:
Body part: back, hand and foot not very temperature sensitive.
Inner aspect of wrist, forearm, neck, perineal area - > sensitive
Size exposed: The large area expose, the lower tolerance.
Individual tolerance: very young and very old have lower tolerance.
Length of exposure: People feel hot and cold application most
while temperature is changing, after period of time, tolerance
increase.
Intactness of skin: Injured skin area more sensitive to temperature.
22. Aquathermia Pad
• Aquathermia pad is a plastic or
rubber pad
• contains small channels, it contains
water.
• This water flows through the small
channels of pad. T
• may either used as heating or
cooling pad.
• If the patient needs to take heating
pad on any site of body, then hot
water is added in the aquathermia
pad, and then it is placed on the site.
• Likewise in case of cool pad, cold
water is added to aquathermia pad,
and place it on the site. An electrical
control unit is also attached along
with a motor.
23. Indication of Aquathermia pad
• swelling,
• redness,
• muscle pull,
• muscle sprain and inflammation.
• relief edema.
• relax stiff muscles and contracted muscles of body.
29. Nurses role caring
patient with heating pad
• Do not apply very hot (above 106°F
or 41.1°C) applications can cause
tissue damage can occur
• Ensure heating pad in good
condition - not torn, not wet, cable
not broken
• Nurses’ role to prevent complication
example electrical shock
• Not more than 30 minutes
• Client wearing cloth. Avoid direct
application on client skin
• Client body is dry.
30. ARM AND FOOT SOAK
• Soaking your feet in warm water is good for
relaxation. It can help you fall asleep easier because
warm water can stimulate blood circulation.
• CONTRAST ARM / FOOT BATHS: This modality is often
given when someone has poor circulation to their
hands or feet (cold hands/feet) or has muscular
and/or fascial tightness in their forearms and hands
(or legs and feet).
31. Sitz bath
• Soak the client pelvic area.
• Often use basin or special tub or chair
immersed client midthight to iliac
crest or umbilical.
• Use warm water 40C to 43OC…reduce
if client not tolerated.
• Duration for bath 15 – 20 minutes
32. Cooling sponge bath
(tepid sponging)
• To reduce client fever. Promoting
heat loss through conduction and
vaporization
• For high fever only. Temperature >
38⁰C.
• Consideration for rapid skin drop
cause chills that actually increase
heat production.
• Often given antipyretic medication
to reset hypothalamus set point.
• Use normal water temperature
33. Nurse role
provide tepid
sponging
• Sponge face, arms, legs, back
and buttock. Abdomen and
chest not usually sponged.
Use technique “dap and tap
gently” instead of rub. Avoid
rubbing because it will
produce heat.
• Leave area wet
• Use 6 towel to place at large
superficial blood vessels help
transfer of heat:
X 1 at forehead
X2 at both axillary
X2 at both femoral side
X1 for dap over the body
34. Cont…tepid
sponging
• Tepid sponging should
be done not more than
30 minutes.
• Discontinue the tepid
sponging if client
becomes pale or
cyanotic or shivers or if
the pulse becomes rapid
or irregular.
• Reassess temperature at
15 minutes and after
completing the tepid
sponging.
