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!
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

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.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

NVBDCP.pptx Nation vector borne disease control programSapna Thakur
NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
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

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.

5. Planning
• For our preparation for the film, we came up
with several ideas on how to cover the topic.
• We had 2 initial idea, they were:
• Show a before and after shots of a homeless
person.
• Show several homeless people from around
the county and with the effects of
homelessness.
6. Research into homelessness (statistics)
• 76% of clients were male
• 24% of clients were female
• 39% of clients were from BME communities
• 64% of clients had issues with substance use (drugs and/or alcohol)
• 64% had a physical health condition (medical condition, vision or hearing
impaired and/or required regular medication)
• 70% of clients had mental health issues (diagnosed, suspected, depression
and/or self harming)
• 54% of clients had educational needs (learning disabilities, difficulty
reading, difficulty with numeracy, managing money and paying bills)
• 8% had been in care
• 48% of clients were ex-offenders or had been in prison
Found from
http://www.mungos.org/homelessness/facts/homelessness_statistics/
8. Research into the reasons that
homelessness happens
• People are forced into homelessness when something bad happens and
they don’t have the support of family or friends to fall back on. Many of
these situations could happen to any of us: it might be redundancy, a
relationship breakdown, poor mental health, alcohol/substance addiction
or domestic abuse.
• Without a strong system of support around a person, one incident can
spark a chain of events that lead to homelessness. Triggers include:
• Marriage or relationship break-up
• Addiction to/dependence on alcohol, prescription or illegal drugs, or
gambling
• Job loss, which leads to repossession or inability to pay rent
• Mental illness
• Physical illness
• Escaping an abusive relationship
• Getting into debt
• Death of a loved one
• Leaving institutions (such as army or prison)
http://streetsoflondon.org.uk/about-homelessness
9. What would attract an audience?
• We conducted a questionnaire which we
asked 10 people to take part in.
• We asked: What would make you want to
watch a video about homelessness? The
results show that people would like included:
Clear understanding of what it is about, good
music, pull at the heartstrings.
10. What needs to be included
• Music
• Relevant footage
• Relevant pictures
• Statistics
• Important information
• Names of shelters that could help.
11. What we don’t want it to be
• Boring
• Irrelevant
• Long
• Hard to watch, must not want to make the
audience walk away.
12. Storyline
• The video to do with homelessness shows a
homeless person after they have found a
shelter and rebuilt there life to a better place,
it then shows what there life was like and how
it was hard for them to cope without alcohol
and other substances. Throughout the video
statistics and relevant information is shown so
that the audience can find out more about the
topic through the whole production and not
the footage.
15. Location and equipment
• All aspects of the film was taken in
Watlington, the footage was filmed next to
church alley and the photography was taken in
a near by courtyard.
• Equipment used was: A video camera, DSLR
camera, tripod, and editing equipment.
16. Creating the video
• When creating the video we used our idea combined with the
storyboards to make the video come alive, once choosing our actor
we then worked on a plan as to where when and how. Whilst this
was being considered, Sophie took photos that would be used to
show the former life of the ex-homeless person. After the pictures
where taken and uploaded onto premier pro we focused on the
video, first we shot the after shot we took our actor to the location
and asked her to improvise and imagine how the person would be
feeling. We then changed outfits and created our props and got to
work shooting the final scene which was our homeless person. We
came across a few problems such as the dye coming out of our beer
bottle which was improved by editing and several people walking
through when shooting was taking place, however we just reshot at
a less busier time, the final problem we came across was lighting as
sometimes the sun shone into the camera we changed the angle
and reshot.
17. Choosing the music
• For the music we needed a serious tone to it.
We decided to use a moving piece to go
alongside with what we have shot in black and
white.
• We had various different pieces of music to go
along side our video yet the one we chose, we
felt fit the criteria in the best way.
18. Legal/copyright
• We used copyright free music for our
production. We downloaded it from a website
that allows you to obtain music copyright free
for free.
• All videos and pictures seen in the production
are our own videos that we shot our self.
19. Editing
• In editing we decided to change the colour to
black and white to create dramatic effecting.
We used transitions between pictures to
allow them to merge together for a fuller
effect in the production.
20. Roles
Sophie ‘s roles – pre production ( location,
production script, storyboards.)
Main production ( photography, footage and
editing.)
Hayley's roles – pre production ( risk
assessment, cast contact list.)
Main production ( photography and editing. )
21. Improvements
• As it was quite a challenging subject as there is
not a specific population of how many people are
actually homeless.
• We decided to add a drama into it. If we were to
do it again we would create several other stories
to show the different types of homeless and how
they live, we would make it longer and a lot
easier to understand, we would follow the brief
more carefully and produced a well-balanced
production using all features that our client
wanted.
22. Examples
• Below is an example of a you tube video made
to help awareness of homelessness
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDkOnqQ
8Xzk
•
23. Comparing example to own work
The You tube video is created by videos and
photographs from the internet, it shows the
audience facts and figures as to the homelessness
in the UK.
Our video is created from videos and photographs
taken by us also using facts and figures to show
detail.
A main difference between the two videos is that
the you tube video is just a sequence of pictures
and videos whereas ours has more of a drama to it.
25. Feedback (public)
We asked 20 members of the public what they thought of
our film.
18/20 people said that the film was intellectual and it was
easy to understand what it was about.
2/ 20 people said that it was put together well however if
they saw it then there views would stay the same.
5/20 people said that they enjoyed the contrast between
the photos and the footage.
14/20 said that the music is what drew the film to there
attention.
Overall the project was put across well in the public.
