POST TEST
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and cause vision loss.
Congenital (Buphthalmos): Congenital glaucoma (CG) is a developmental glaucoma that results from the abnormal development of the aqueous drainage structure, characterized by an elevated intra-ocular pressure, enlargement of globe (buphthalmos), corneal edema and optic nerve cupping, and presenting clinically with the characteristic triad of epiphora, photophobia and blepharospasm.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60.
This slide contains information regarding corneal ulcer and glaucoma. This can be helpful for proficiency level and bachelor level nursing students. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

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

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
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.

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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
6. INTRODUCTION
Glaucoma is an ocular disease characterized by
elevated intraocular pressure(IOP) optic nerve
cupping with or without visual field loss.
several types of Glaucoma exist with their different
causes and pathophysiology.
7. Definitions
Inflammatory glaucoma is a condition in which ocular
inflammation causes a persistent or recurrent increase in
intraocular pressure (IOP), resulting in anatomical and
physiological changes. There maybe progressive optic
nerve cupping with corresponding retinal nerve fiber loss
and visual field defect. Mostly associated with uveitis
(uveitic glaucoma ).
Uveitis is inflammation of uveal tissue (iris, ciliary body
and choroid). It is characterised by presence of cells or
cellular aggregates that are sometimes visible in the
chambers during examinations.
9. SIGNS
• Decrease VA
• IOP may or may not be elevated
• Ciliary congestion (ciliary injection)
• Corneal: odema, kerathopathy [bullae] ,
stroma scaring, KPs
• Anterior chamber: shallow , cells, hypopion.
• Anterior / Posterior Synaechia
• Optic Nerve Cupping and destruction of
Retina Nerve fibres
10. • Iris: They may be neovascularization of iris,
posterior synechia, peripheral anterior
synechia, iris bombe.
• Pupils: may be mild dilated or moderately
dilated, reacts sluggishly to light, or fixed.
• Lens: Iris pigments on anterior capsule,
posterior sub capsular opacity.
• Fundus :+/- glaucomatous changes of optic
nerve, retinitis, macular oedema.
11. CLASSIFICATION
1) Angle- closure with pupillary block : when there is
360 degree posterior synaechia]
2) Angle closure without pupillary block: [protein cell
and exudates can migrate during the inflammatory
process into the anterior chamber angle, causing
blockage of the angle]
3) Open angle: Here, there is trabeculitis causing
resistance to aqueous drainage thus accumulation
of fluid leading to destruction of the optic nerve
and retinal nerve fibres
12. PATHOGENESIS
Angle –closure with pupillary block
• It occurs when inflammatory cells and
proteins in aqueous humour, forms
adhesion between iris and lens forming
posterior synechia .
• Posterior synechia obstruct aqueous flow
from the posterior to anterior chamber.
13. • Pressure in the posterior chamber is
increased producing anterior bowing of
the peripheral iris(iris bombe)
• Resulting in shallowing of anterior
chamber.
• Inflamed iris easily sticks to the
trabeculum and the iridocorneal contact.
• This may be permanent with development
of peripheral anterior synechia
18. Open- angle glaucoma
1. In acute anterior uveitis the IOP is
usually normal or sub normal.
It may be steroid induced or caused
by combination of other machanisms; .
There may be ciliary short down. But
most commonly as acute inflammation
subsides, the cilliary body function
returns.
19. Trabecular obstruction; proteins,
fibrin, debris from inflamed iris
blood vessel enter aqueous
humour and anterior chamber
and disrupt the aqueous flow.
Acute trabeculitis: Cytotoxic
agents from inflammatory cells
further causes oedema of
trabecular meshwork.
20.
21.
22. 2 . In chronic anterior uveitis there is
trabecular scarring and/or sclerosis
secondary to chronic trabeculitis.
.
23. • Pathogenesis of elevated IOP may be
uncertain because multiple mechanisms
may be involved such as steroid
responders.
• Assessment of glaucomatous damage
may be disturbed by small pupil or
opacity in the media. Poor visual acuity
may affect accurate results
• Iris vessels may give diagnostic confusion
(NVG).
24. MANAGEMENT OF INFLAMMATORY
GLAUCOMA
Identify the cause and treat
Medical therapy of elevated IOP and
making sure you assess for steroid
induce ocular hypertension.
Surgical therapy
25. IDENTIFICATION, CAUSE AND TREATMENT
History taking
Slit lamp examination
Fundoscopy examination
Gionoscopy examination
Laboratory examinations e.g. ESR,TOXO,
ASLO tests
26. MEDICAL THERAPY
1. CORTICOTERIODS
e.g. prednisolone, tablets, frakidex, eye
drops and ointment, flucon eye drop,
maxidex oint and eye drop, etc reduced
inflammation
27. 2. CYCLOPLEGICS e.g Atropine,
mydriaticum.They reduce photophobia
and pains [ciliary spasms]. They should
be used with caution.
3. BETA BLOCKERS eg Timolol, Timosol,
carteol.
28. 4. CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS e.g.
Acetazolamide (diamox ) reduces aqueous
humour production and increases uveosclera
outflow
5. ALPHA 2 AGONIST e.g. Brimonidine eye
drop
29. 6. PROSTAGLANDINS e.g. Travatans,
Increases outflow throw uveal
pathway and ciliary muscle
Site effect may worsen inflammation
and increase risk of macular oedema
in uveitis
7. HYPEROSMOTIC AGENTS eg mannitol
30. SURGICAL THERAPY
Iridotomy is done in eyes with papillary-
block angle closure glaucoma with uveitis.
The hole can become ocluded .
Surgical iridectomy can be done to prevent
pupilary block.
Trabeculectomy..
Cyclodistructive procedure [cyclocryo]
