Hypersensitivity refers to excessive or harmful immune reactions. There are four main types:
I. Type I is an immediate reaction mediated by IgE antibodies binding to mast cells. Common examples include allergic reactions.
II. Type II involves IgG or IgM binding to cells, activating complement and causing cell lysis. Examples include hemolytic anemia.
III. Type III occurs when antigen-antibody complexes are deposited in tissues, activating complement and attracting inflammatory cells. Examples include serum sickness.
IV. Type IV is delayed hypersensitivity mediated by T cells. The tuberculin skin test detects exposure to tuberculosis bacteria.
Type II Hypersensitivity-Antibody mediated cytotoxic HypersensitivityAnup Bajracharya
Type II Hypersensitivity is antibody-mediated immune reaction in which antibodies (IgG or IgM) are directed against cellular or extracellular matrix antigens with the resultant cellular destruction, functional loss, or damage to tissues.

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

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.

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!

2. Hypersensitivity
• Hypersensitivity (also called hypersensitivity
reaction or intolerance) refers to excessive, undesirable
(damaging, discomfort-producing and sometimes fatal) reactions
produced by the normal immune system.
• Hypersensitivity reactions require a pre-sensitized (immune) state of
the host.
Hypersensitivity Types
• On the basis of mechanisms involved and time taken for the reaction,
hypersensitivity reactions can be divided into four types:
I. type I
II. type II
III. type III
IV. type IV
3. Type I hypersensitivity
• Type I hypersensitivity is also known as immediate or anaphylactic
hypersensitivity.It develops within few minutes of exposure to an allergen.
• Anaphylactic reactions are mediated by IgE and other factors involved in
inflammation (inflammation means the protective response of the tissues to
the damage or destruction of cells). When the body is exposed to an allergen,
the IgE immunoglobulins are produced.
• These immunoglobulins bind with the surface receptors of mast cells and
circulating basophils.
• Mast cells are the granulated wandering cells found in connective tissue and
beneath the mucous membrane in the throat, lungs and eyes.
• During subsequent exposure of the body to the same allergen, the allergen
IgE antibody reaction takes place.
• This leads to degranulation of mast cells and basophils, with the release of
some chemical mediators such histamine. The chemical mediators produce
the hypersensitivity reactions.
• Most serious reactions are fall in blood pressure (due to
vasodilatation),obstruction of air passage and difficulty in breathing (due to
bronchoconstriction) and shock
4. Anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reaction
• The reaction is systemic, which involves multiple organ systems, and
is a direct result of the release of chemical mediators from mast cells
and basophils.
• Specifically, the condition anaphylaxis requires the patient to be
sensitized, and their reaction mediated through IgE antibodies. An
anaphylactoid reaction doesn’t need the presence of IgE antibodies
for a hypersensitivity reaction to occur.
• Substances initiating the anaphylactoid reaction, such as radiopaque
contrast media, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and
aspirin cause a direct breakdown of the mast cell and basophil
membranes.
• Thus, an anaphylactic reaction occurs only after the patient has been
previously exposed at least once to the antigen and is sensitized; an
anaphylactoid reaction can occur following a single, first-time
exposure to certain agents in nonsensitized patients.
5.
6. Diagnosis and Treatment
• Diagnostic tests for immediate hypersensitivity include skin (prick
and intradermal) tests,
• measurement of total IgE and specific IgE antibodies against the
suspected allergens. Increased IgE levels are indicative of an atopic
condition,
• Symptomatic treatment is achieved with antihistamines which block
histamine receptors. Chromolyn sodium inhibits mast cell
degranulation,
• Hyposensitization (immunotherapy or desensitization) is another
treatment which is successful in a number of allergies, particularly
to insect venoms
• The primary treatment of anaphylaxis is injection
of epinephrine, the administration of intravenous fluids, and
positioning the person flat
7. Type II hypersensitivity
• Type II hypersensitivity is also known as cytotoxic hypersensitivity and
may affect a variety of organs and tissues.
• The antigens are normally endogenous, although exogenous chemicals
(haptens) that can attach to cell membranes can also lead to type II
hypersensitivity.
• Drug-induced hemolytic anemia, granulocytopenia and
thrombocytopenia are such examples.
• The reaction time is minutes to hours.
• Type 11 reactions involve the activation of complement by the
combination of IgM or IgG antibodies with an antigenic cell.
• This activation stimulates the complement to lyse the affected
cell,which might be either a host cell or foreign cell that carries a
foreign antigenic determinant (such as a drug)on its surface.
8. • Additional cellular damage may be caused within 5-8
hours by the action of macrophages and other cells that
attack antibody –coated cell.
• Eg. Transfusion reactions, in which red blood cells are
destroyed as a result of reacting with circulating
antibodies.These involve blood group system
Diagnosis and treatment
Diagnostic tests include detection of circulating antibody against
the tissues involved by immunofluorescence
• Staning procedures also used in diagnosis
• Treatment involves anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive
agents.
9. TYPE III HYPERSENSITIVITY
• Type III hypersensitivity is also known as Arthus or
immune complex hypersensitivity. The reaction may be
general (e.g., serum sickness) or may involve individual
organs including skin (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus,
reaction), kidneys (e.g., lupus nephritis) joints (e.g.,
rheumatoid arthritis) or other organs.
• The reaction may take 3 - 10 hours after exposure to the
antigen.
• Excess amounts of antibodies like IgG or IgM are
produced in this type. The antigen-antibody complexes
are precipitated and deposited in localized areas like
joints causing arthritis, heart causing myocarditis and
glomeruli of kidney producing glomerulonephritis.
10. Diagnosis and treatment
• Diagnosis involves examination of tissue biopsies for deposits
of Ig and complement by immunofluorescence.
• Treatment includes anti-inflammatory agents.
11. Type IV hypersensitivity
• Type IV hypersensitivity is also known as cell mediated or delayed type
hypersensitivity.
• The classical example of this hypersensitivity is tuberculin (Montoux)
reaction which peaks 48 hours after the injection of antigen (tuberculin)
• Mechanisms of damage in delayed hypersensitivity include T lymphocytes
and monocytes and/or macrophages.
There are two different types of reactions capable of causing
tissue injury in this way.
1.delayed type hypersensitivity is mediated by CD4+ helper T
cells
2. cell mediated cytotoxicity, is mediated by CD8+ T cells.
• Cytotoxic T cells (Tc) cause direct damage whereas helper T (TH1) cells
secrete cytokines which activate cytotoxic T cells and recruit and activate
monocytes and macrophages, which cause the damage.
• The delayed hypersensitivity lesions mainly contain monocytes and a few T
cells.
12.
13. Diagnosis and treatment
• Diagnostic tests include
• Montoux test
• patch test (for contact dermatitis)
• mitogenic response
• IL-2 production.
• Corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive agents are used in
treatment.

15. •A tuberculin skin test (also called a Mantoux
tuberculin test) is done to diagnose tuberculosis (TB). The
test is done by putting a small amount of TB protein
(antigens) under the top layer of skin on your inner forearm.
If you have ever been exposed to the TB bacteria
(Mycobacterium tuberculosis), your skin will react to the
antigens by developing a firm red bump at the site within 2
days.
