Hodgkin's lymphoma is a malignant tumor of the lymphatic system characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. Common symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or above the collarbone, chest pain, cough, difficulty breathing, night sweats, fever, and weight loss of over 10% in six months. Hodgkin's lymphoma is diagnosed through lymph node biopsy and treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or stem cell transplantation.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the prototypic multisystem autoimmune disorder with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations encompassing almost all organs and tissues.
The extreme heterogeneity of the disease has led some investigators to propose that SLE represents a syndrome rather than a single disease.
Lupus was first recognised as a systemic disease with visceral manifestations by Moriz Kaposi (1837–1902).
Topic of presentation: Lymphoma. Pathology of Lymphoma, stages of Lymphoma, types of Lymphoma. Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma are discussed along with their sub types clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Hodgkin’s disease was initially described as an inflammatory
disease (hence the term “disease”), but is clearly
recognized and treated as a malignant lymphoma (hence the
more accurate term Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is used
synonymously with Hodgkin’s disease).
The management of Hodgkin’s lymphoma has evolved from
extended-field radiation alone as the main therapy to a
combined-modality approach with
chemotherapy and radiation, or chemotherapy alone.

Lymphoma is a cancer of lymphocytes. The most common place for abnormal lymphocytes is in lymph nodes (glands) particularly
under the arms, in the neck and in the groin.
Lymphoma is solid tumors of the immune system arising from cells of lymphoid tissues; lymphocytes, histiocytes, and reticulum cells. It can happen anywhere in the immune system, but usually in lymph nodes, spleen, marrow, and tonsils. Location and the behavior of lymphomas separate them from leukemia.The malignancy starts and restricted to lymphoid tissues and progress to involve the BM and appears in PB, at this stage it may be named, “lymphosarcoma cell leukemia.
Lymphoma is a cancer that affects the lymphatic system, part of the body's immune system. It originates in lymphocytes and can be Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, weight loss, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves tests like biopsies and imaging. Treatment includes chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, depending on the type and stage of the lymphoma. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes.
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

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.

2. Hodgkin's lymphoma is a
malignant tumor of the lymphatic system
that is characterised histologically by the
presence of multinucleated giant cells
(Reed-Sternberg cells) and associated
abnormal and smaller mononuclear cells
originating from B lymphocytes in the
germinal centres of lymphoid tissue.
3. SYMPTOMS:
Most patients present with an enlarged but otherwise asymptomatic lymph
node, typically in the lower neck or supraclavicular region.
Mediastinal masses are frequent and are sometimes discovered on a
routine CXR.
Patients might complain of chest discomfort with a cough or dyspnoea.
Systemic symptoms of drenching night sweats, unexplained fever >38°C,
and weight loss of >10% over six months are termed B symptoms and are
identified in approximately 25% of patients.Alcohol-induced pain at sites of
nodal disease is specific but occurs in fewer than 10% of patients.
Findings on examination include lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly,
splenomegaly, and superior vena cava syndrome; there may also be
features caused by paraneoplastic syndromes - eg, cerebellar
degeneration, neuropathy or Guillain-Barré syndrome.
4. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Infectious mononucleosis, AIDS, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,
Tuberculosis, Leukaemia, Sarcoidosis
Myeloma, Toxoplasmosis, Cytomegalovirus infection,Tularaemia
Radiation therapy, chemotherapy or combined therapies are the
treatments used in managing Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Both chemotherapy and radiation therapy increase the risk of
developing secondary solid tumours - eg, cancers of the lung,
breast, and stomach.
Vaccinations: polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine and influenza
vaccine should be given to all patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Meningococcal group C conjugate vaccine and Haemophilus
influenzae type b vaccine are also recommended, especially for
patients receiving treatment and those with asplenia or splenic
dysfunction.
The role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for
Hodgkin's lymphoma is being explored.
