HIV DURING PREGNANCY, this is very common and very dangerous disease during pregnancy. this is for medical and nursing student. i tried to make understand of students.
Most pregnant women who carry group B streptococcus (GBS) bacteria have healthy babies.
But there's a small risk that GBS can pass to the baby during childbirth.
Sometimes GBS infection in newborn babies can cause serious complications that can be life threatening, but this is not common.
Extremely rarely, GBS infection during pregnancy can also cause miscarriage, early (premature) labour or stillbirth.
GBS is one of many bacteria that can be present in our bodies. It does not usually cause any harm.
When this happens, it's called carrying GBS, or being colonised with GBS.
It's estimated about 1 pregnant woman in 5 in the UK carries GBS in their digestive system or vagina.
Around the time of labour and birth, many babies come into contact with GBS and are colonised by the bacteria.
Most are unaffected, but a small number can become infected.
If a baby develops GBS infection less than 7 days after birth, it's known as early-onset GBS infection.
Most babies who become infected develop symptoms within 12 hours of birth.
Symptoms include:
• being floppy and unresponsive
• not feeding well
• grunting
• a high or low temperature
• fast or slow heart rates
• fast or slow breathing rates
irritability
Late-onset GBS infection
Late-onset GBS infection develops 7 or more days after a baby is born. This is not usually associated with pregnancy.
The baby probably became infected after the birth. For example, they may have caught the infection from someone else.
GBS infections after 3 months of age are extremely rare.
Breastfeeding does not increase the risk of GBS infection and will protect your baby against other infections.

HIV positive mother and her bABY, RISK OF TRANSMISSION, ANTENATAL CARE, INTRA...LalrinchhaniSailo
Globally, an estimated 1.3 million women and girls living with HIV become pregnant each year. In the absence of intervention, the rate of transmission of HIV from a mother living with HIV to her child during pregnancy, labour, delivery or breastfeeding ranges from 15% to 45%. As such, identification of HIV infection should be immediately followed by an offer of linkage to lifelong treatment and care, including support to remain in care and virally suppressed and an offer of partner services.
In 2019, 85% of women and girls globally had access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). However, high ART coverage levels do not reflect the continued transmission that occurs after women are initially counted as receiving treatment. Achieving retention in care and prevention of incident HIV infections in uninfected populations remain high priorities to reach global elimination targets. Since the global shift to, and accelerated rollout of, highly effective, simplified interventions based on lifelong ART for pregnant women living with HIV, virtual elimination of MTCT – also known as vertical transmission – has been shown to be feasible.
Tuberculosis in prenancy by dr alka mukherjee dr apurva mukherjee nagpur ms i...alka mukherjee
Prevention of Tuberculosis
The BCG vaccine has been incorporated into the National immunization policy of many countries, especially the high burden countries, thereby conferring active immunity from childhood. Nonimmune women travelling to tuberculosis endemic countries should also be vaccinated. It must, however, be noted that the vaccine is contraindicated in pregnancy [72].
The prevention, however, goes beyond this as it is essentially a disease of poverty. Improved living condition is, therefore, encouraged with good ventilation, while overcrowding should be avoided. Improvement in nutritional status is another important aspect of the prevention.
Pregnant women living with HIV are at higher risk for TB, which can adversely influence maternal and perinatal outcomes [73]. As much as 1.1 million people were diagnosed with the co-infection in 2009 alone [2]. Primary prevention of HIV/AIDS is, therefore, another major step in the prevention of tuberculosis in pregnancy. Screening of all pregnant women living with HIV for active tuberculosis is recommended even in the absence of overt clinical signs of the disease.
Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) is another innovation of the World Health Organisation that is aimed at reducing the infection in HIV positive pregnant women based on evidence and experience and it has been concluded that pregnancy should not be a contraindication to receiving IPT. However, patient's individualisation and rational clinical judgement is required for decisions such as the best time to provide IPT to pregnant women

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!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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.

2. HIV
•Human Immuno-Deficiency Viruses (HIV-1 and HIV-2 ) is the retrovirus
having the enzyme reverse transcriptase which permits genomic RNA to be
transcribed into double stranded DNA.
•Most of the worldwide cases are caused by HIV-1.
2
4. Modes of transmission
1. Sexual Contact
- homosexual and heterosexual activity is common mechanism of
transmission.
- women are 20 times more likely to get HIV with vaginal
intercourse.
2. Trans-placental
3. Blood product transfusion
4. Intravenous drug use with needle sharing
5. Through breast milk
4
5. Perinatal Transmission of HIV
• Vertical transmission to the neonates is 14-25%
• Transplacental transmission occurs 20% before 36 weeks
50% before delivery and 30% during labor
• Vertical transmission is more in case of preterm births and prolonged
rupture of the membranes
• Risk of the vertical transmission is directly related to the maternal viral
load and inversely to the maternal immune status (CD4+)
• Maternal anti-retroviral therapy reduces the risk of the vertical
transmission by 70%
5
6. Etiopathogenesis
• The virus attaches to the T lymphocytes known as CD4+
cells whose main function in the immune system is to
combat viruses,bacteria and other pathogens.
• Once the virus is in the genome of the host then it gets
multiplied which will eventually cause the host cell
damage.
• There is now gradual depletion of the CD4+ cells as well as
the failure of the B lymphocytes to produce antibodies to
HIV.
• These events lead to progressive loss of host immune
defense and leads to AIDS. 6
8. Effects of the HIV infection
•Although maternal mortality and morbidity rates are not
increased in seropositive asymptomatic women but it appears that
the adverse fetal outcomes may be increased, like:
-increased incidence of abortion
- Prematurity
- Intra uterine restriction growth (IUGR)
- Perinatal mortality
8
9. Clinical Presentation
• Initial presentation may be malise,fever,headache,sore throat,
lymphadenotathy,and maculopapular rash.
• Progression of disease may lead to the multiple opportunistic
infection such as candidiasis, tuberculosis, pneumocystis
• Patient may also have neoplasm such as cervical carcinoma,
lymphomas, and Kaposi sarcoma
• Generalized lymphadenopathy, oral hairy leukoplakia, aphthous
ulcers, and thrombocytopenia are common.
• Weight loss, lymphadenopathy or protracted diarrhea may be
associated with the constitunal symptoms
• CD4+ count<200 cells/mm3 is a diagnostic of AIDS 9
10. Higher levels of inflammatory cytokines and a decrease in regulatory T cells in
late pregnancy may contribute to maternal and fetal morbidity 10
11. Diagnosis
• Enzyme immunoassay is used as a screening test for HIV antibodies.
-This is extremely sensitive but is less specific.
• Polymerase chain reaction is also done for early diagnosis
-This is the technique of amplifying viral DNA.
• This method is confirmed by Western blot test or by the
immuno-fluorescence assay
-Western blot detects specific viral antigens
p24(capsid),GP41(envelope) and GP120/60.
11
13. 1.PRENATAL CARE
• voluntary serological testing- to all pregnant women
• In seropositive cases- additional test for STDS, such as
hepatitis B virus, syphilis,chlamydia,herpes and rubella
• counselling about the risk of HIV transmission of the fetus
and neonates.
• progression of disease is accessed by: CD4+ count, viral load,
and the assessment is done every 3-4 months.
• Women with CD4+ count(≤350 cells/mm3) or HIV RNA level
≥ 50,000 copies/mm3 should be initiated with HAART.
13
14. •Stages of HIV infection:
•Stage - I (HIV infection): CD4+ T-lymphocyte ≥500/mm3;
• Stage-2 (HIV Infection):CD4+ T-lymphocyte count of 200-
499/mm3;
•Stage-3 (AIDS): CD4+ T-lymphocyte count of ≤200/mm3
•T lymphocyte count in each trimester. If the count falls to less
than 200 cells/mm3,the patient should receive prophylaxis
against Pneumocystis carinii and other opportunistic infections
14
15. f) Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy(HAART) to all HIV-1 positive
women
-triple therapy is preferred as the first line defense and to be
started any time between 14- 28 weeks.
principles of highly active antiretroviral therapy:
- suppress viral multiplication
- to reduce perinatal transmission
- reduce the risk of drug resistance
g) Prophylactic antibiotics should be started when there is
opportunistic infection.
(sulfamethaoxazole –trimethoprim or dapsone)
15
16. Antiretroviral Therapy
a) Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor
zidovudine, zalcitabine, lamivudine, Abacavir
b) Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
nevirapine,delavirdine,efavirenz
c) Protease inhibitors
indinavir,saquinavir,ritonavir,Atazanavir
d) Entry inhibitors
enfurvirtide
• WHO recommends first line ART regimen to include:
Zidovudine (ZDV), + Lamivudine (3 TC), + Nevirapine (NVP) or
ZDV + 3 TC + EFV (Efavirenz).
16
17. 2. INTRAPARTUM CARE
a)zidovudine given IV infusion at the onset of labor(vaginal
delivery) or 4 hours before cesarean delivery.
- loading dose 2mg/kg/hr. ,maintenance dose 1mg/kg/hr. until the
cord clamping is done.
b) a single dose of nevirapine at the onset of labor and a single dose
of it to the newborn at age 48 hours is an alternative requirement for
women who had no prior therapy.
c) elective cesarian delivery reduces the risk of vertical transmission
by about 50%.
d) high viral load (>10000 copies/ml) lower CD4 count, rupture of
membrane >4 hours, and breast feeding double the risk of MTCT.
18
18. e) Mechanical suctioning devices should be used to remove secretions
from the neonates airways.
f) Factors for increased perinatal transmission: previous child with HIV
infection, mother with AIDS, preterm delivery, decreased maternal
CD4+ count, high maternal viral load.
g) Post exposure prophylaxis with triple therapy for 4 weeks ,reduces
risk of seroconversion by more than 80%. ( zidovudine 200 mg TID
+lamivudine 150 mg BID+ 800 mg TID+ indinavir 800 mg TID)
19
19. 3. POSTPARTUM CARE
a) breastfeeding
doubles the risk but if the alternative methods are not available
for infant nutrition then the risks associated with the
breastfeeding may be accepted
b) zidovudine SYRUP
2mg/kg is given to the neonates 4 times daily for first 6 weeks
of the life. High risk neonate should be treated with the
HAART. The infant is tested at D1, weeks 6,12 and 18 months of age.
c) Neonatal care
• Antiretroviral therapy (ARV) i.e. ZDV monotherapy should be given to all neonates within 4
hours of birth.
• When all these tests are negative and the baby is not breastfed a confirmatory HIV antibody
test is done at 18 months. Once this test is negative, the child is declared to be free of HIV
20
20. 4. Contraception
-barrier methods of contraception is effective in preventing
transmission of the virus. IUCD is found safe and effective. Condoms,
should be used regardless of using other devices.
5. Counselling
-pre-pregnancy and early pregnancy counselling for HIV infected
patient is essential.
21
21. Breast feeding and HIV transmission
• Vertical transmission is increased by breast feeding
• Breastfeeding increases transmission by 30-40%.
• the probability of HIV transmission per liter of breast milk ingested is
estimated to be similar to heterosexual transmission with unsafe sex in adults.
• Most transmission occurs in first 6 months
• The risk of infant transmission increases with increased levels of maternal HIV
RNA in plasma or breast milk.
• The who has recommended continuing breast feeding promotion with early
weaning by 6 months for women living in developing countries in which the
infectious disease and malnutrition are the primary causes of the infant
deaths.
22
22. • Maternal and infant antiretroviral prophylaxis strategies during the
breastfeeding period are comparably effective in reducing the rate of
transmission, but antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the preferred
strategy.
• The WHO recommends that ART be initiated in all pregnant and
breastfeeding women,as soon as there is a risk of mother-to-child
transmission of HIV in order to minimize this risk
• Infant antiretroviral use remains important as postexposure
prophylaxis after delivery and in settings in which maternal
antiretroviral use is delayed or interrupted during breastfeeding
23
23. • Exclusive breastfeeding, in combination with antiretroviral
interventions, is recommended for the first six months of life as it
leads to nutritional and immunologic benefits for the infant.
• Subsequently, breastfeeding, along with antiretroviral prophylaxis
and appropriate complementary feeding, should continue for another
six months given the increased infant morbidity associated with
earlier weaning
