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

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
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.
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

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
2. Insecticides: these are chemicals used to control insects by killing them preventing them
from engaging in undesirable or destructive behaviours.
- US EPA
Chemical nature of Insecticides: Organic, Inorganic, Synthetic, Biological (biopesticide).
Toxicity: It is the ability of a insecticide to injure/kill a living organism.
Human health related toxicity: It is based on acute risk to human health (that is the risk
of single or multiple exposure over a relative short period of time)
- WHO
3. Toxicity can be two types based on the dosage, exposure length and exposure area;
• Acute toxicity- It refers to those adverse effects occurring following oral or dermal
administration of substance, or multiple doses given within 24 hours, or an inhalation
exposure of 4 hours.
• Chronic toxicity- It is the ability of a substance to cause adverse health effects
resulting from long-term exposure to a substance.
#Note-
The toxicity of a insecticide can’t be changed but risk of exposure can be reduced with
the use of proper Personal Protective Equipment’s (PPE), proper handling and
application procedure.

Categorisation of pesticides
7. Respiratory Exposure
• Due to presence of volatile components of pesticides, potential for
respiratory exposure is more.
• Inhalation of sufficient amount of insecticide may cause serious damage
to nose, throat and lung tissues.
• Low volume equipment (ULV or fogging) pose more threat to respiratory
exposure due to production of smaller droplets and the risk increases
with the concentration dosage of insecticide.
• Working with wettable powders can be hazardous because the powder
may be inhaled during the process of mixing.
• Increase in temperature leads to increased vapour level of many
insecticides which worsen such exposure.
• It is recommended that insecticides should not be applied at air
temperature above 30°C.
• Insecticides with high vapour hazards should be applied with sufficient
equipment for respiratory protection.
8. Dermal exposure
• It is the most common route of pesticide
poisoning.
• Absorption will continue as long as the pesticide
remains in contact with the skin.
• Pesticide formulation vary broadly in
physicochemical properties and in their capacity
to be absorbed through the skin.
• The rate of absorption is different for each part of
the body.
• The head (especially the scalp and ear canal) and
the genital areas are particularly vulnerable.
• Applicators are more vulnerable to exposure of
residues on application equipment, protective
clothing or treated surfaces after pesticide
application.
• A cut or skin abrasion can greatly increase
pesticide absorption.
9. Eye exposure
The tissues of the eyes are particularly absorbent. Enough pesticide can be
absorbed through the eyes to result in serious or fatal poisoning. Granular
pesticides pose a particular hazard to the eye depending upon the size and weight
of the individual particle. Eye protection is needed when measuring or mixing
concentrated or highly toxic pesticides.
Protect yourself from eye exposure. Follow these guidelines:
1. Always wear eye protection when you measure or mix pesticides.
2. Always wear eye protection when pesticide sprays or dusts may contact
your eyes.
3. Do Not wipe your eyes with contaminated gloves or hands.
4. Be prepared to respond to accidental eye exposure quickly.
5. Protective face shields or goggles should be worn whenever there is a
chance that pesticide sprays or dusts may come in contact with the eyes.
10. Ingestion (oral exposure)
Pesticides taken through the mouth result in the most severe poisoning, compared to
other types of exposure. Pesticides can be ingested by accident, through carelessness, or
intentionally. The most frequent cases of accidental oral exposure are those in which
pesticides have been stored in an unlabelled bottle or food container. There are many
cases where people, especially children, have been poisoned by drinking pesticides from
a soft drink bottle. People have also been poisoned by drinking water stored in
contaminated containers. Workers handling pesticides or application equipment can also
consume excessive levels of pesticides if they do not wash their hands before eating or
smoking.
Protect yourself from oral exposure. Follow these guidelines:
1. Always store pesticides in their original labeled containers.
2. Never put pesticides in an unlabelled bottle or food container.
3. Never use your mouth to clear a spray hose or nozzle, or to begin siphoning a
pesticide.
4. Always wash after handling pesticides and before eating, drinking, smoking, or
using the toilet.
5. Never leave pesticides unattended.
6. Avoid splashes or dusts when mixing pesticides.
7. Label your pesticide measuring containers.
11. Injection
• Substances may enter the body if the skin is penetrated or
punctured by contaminated objects.
• Effects can then occur as the substance is circulated in the blood
and deposited in the target organs.
12. There are four different class of insecticides:
• Organophosphates
• Carbamates
• Organochlorines
• Synthetic Pyrethroid
13. Organophosphates & Carbamates
• It has been used as insecticide worldwide for more than 50 years
• It is estimated to be 30,00,000 people exposed to organophosphate or carbamate
agents each year with upto 3,00,000 fatalities.
• Toxicity generally results from accidental or intentional ingestion of, or exposure to,
insecticide/pesticide.
• Other potential causes of toxicity includes ingestion of contaminated fruit, flour, or
cooking oil, and wearing contaminated clothing.
• OP and Carbamates exhibit similar clinical manifestations with toxicity and require similar
management
14. Mechanism of Toxicity
• Inhibition of Ach-Esterase enzyme
• OP phosphorylate serine hydroxyl group at the site of action of
acetylcholine.
• Once OP binds to AChE, the enzyme can undergo one of the
following:
Endogenous hydrolysis of the phosphorylated enzyme by esterase's
or paraoxonases
Reactivation by antidote pralidoxime (2-PAM)
Irreversible binding and permanent enzyme inactivation (aging
phenomenon)
• Accumulated Ach activate muscarinic, nicotinic, CNS receptors
15. Mechanism of Toxicity
Excess Ach in the synapse can lead to 3 sets of symptoms and signs:
1) at postganglionic muscarinic synapses lead to SLUDGE/ BBB.
2) At nicotinic motor end plates causes persistent depolarization of
skeleton muscle resulting in fasciculations, progressive weakness
and hypotonicity.
3) OP cross the blood-brain barrier, they may cause seizures,
respiratory depression and CNS depression for reasons not
completely understood.
OP binds to RBC cholinesterase & plasma cholinesterase
(pseudocholinesterase) in the serum.
The kinetics of the enzyme will reach zero within 10 hours with
formation of OP-AchE complex.
16. Clinical Manifestations
• Pesticides can rapidly be absorbed through the skin, lungs, GI tract and
mucous membranes.
• Symptoms usually occur within a few hours after GI ingestion and
appear almost immediately after inhalation exposure.
• The clinical presentation of acute cholinergic toxicity include
Bradycardia, miosis, lacrimation, salivation, bronchorrhea,
bronchospasm, urination, emesis and diarrhoea.
• Diaphoresis may occur because sweat occur because sweat glands are
regulated through sympathetic activation of postganglionic muscarinic
receptors.
• At times, however, mydriasis and tachycardia may be observed, as
sympathetic ganglia also contain nicotinic receptors.
17. Clinical Manifestations
Cardiac-
• It includes heart block and QTc prolongation are occasionally
observed in OP agent poisoning.
Respiratory-
• Fatalities from acute OP agent poisoning generally result from
respiratory failure due to a combination of:
depression of the CNS respiratory center
neuromuscular weakness
excessive respiratory secretions
bronchoconstriction
18. Clinical Manifestations
Neurological (Intermediate)-
• 10-40 per cent of patients poisoned with OP develop a distinct
neurologic disorder 24 to 96 hours after exposure.
• Consists of characteristic neurological findings including
• Neck flexion weakness
• Decreased deep tendon reflexes
• Cranial nerve abnormalities
• Proximal muscle weakness, and
• Respiratory insufficiency
Delayed neurotoxicity-
• OP induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN) typically occurs 1-3 weeks
after ingestion of one of a small number of specific OP agents.
19. Laboratory Evidence of OP poisoning
• Laboratory evidence of OP poisoning may be obtained by measuring
decrease in:
Plasma pseudocholinesterase (PChE) and
RBC acetylcholinesterase (RChE) activities
• Significant depression of enzyme activity may occur but still fall within
the normal range.
It is most helpful if the patients has a pre-exposure baseline
measurement for comparison (eg, as part of a workplace health
surveillance program)
• 25 per cent or greater depression in activity of RBC cholinesterase
shows a reliable measure of the toxic effect.
20. Carbamate Poisoning
It poisoning produces reversible AchE inhibition, and spontaneous
recovery of enzyme activity may occur within several hours,
making these tests less useful.
21. Pyrethroids
• They act as ion channel toxins
• They delay the closure of voltage-sensitive sodium channels & to
prolong neuronal excitation (action potential)
• They have low mammalian toxicity
22. Modes of exposure
• Occupational exposure
• Household/ indoor exposure (low risk)
• Use of permethrin as a topical treatment or sampoo for head
lice or scabies (low risk)
24. Organochlorines
• The most widely known organochlorine insecticide is DDT.
• DDT is mainly stored in the fat.
• There is also evidence that DDT and its metabolite p,p
dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) may have endocrine-
disrupting potential and carcinogenic action.
• In utero exposure to both DDT and DDE has been associated with
neurodevelopmental effects in children.
• The general class of organochlorine insecticides has been
associated with health effects, such as endocrine disorders,
effects on embryonic development, lipid metabolism, and
hematological and hepatic alterations.
25. Treatment
• Airway, breathing and circulation (ABC)
• Patients with dermal and inhalation exposure are more likely to cause
nosocomial poisoning then patients with GI exposure. Patients with GI
exposure should also be decontaminated.
• Case reports have described nosocomial poisoning in clinicians treating
patients who have been exposed to OP;
• Case report also describes OP toxicity from mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
• Atropine is most commonly given intravenous (IV) form at the
recommended dose of 2-5 mg for adults and 0.05 mg/kg for children on
observation of following signs-
- Dryness of mouth
- Flushing of face
- Dilation of pupils
26. Treatment
• WHO recommends oxime therapy for any patients with clinical
significant poisoning.
• Decontamination, supportive care, aggressive antimuscarinic
therapy, seizure control and administration of oximes are
cornerstones of management
• Irrespective of class of insecticide oxime and atropine can be
used regardless of the nature of the toxic compound.
27. Dose-response
• A given amount of a toxic agent will elicit a given type and intensity of
response.
• A dose-response relationship is defined as a consistent mathematical
and biologically plausible correlation between the number of
individuals responding on a given dose over a period of exposure.
• A dose-response relationship is represented
by dose-response curve.
• Dose-response curve is represented by
plotting the dose of the chemical versus the
response in the test population.
• Dose-response curve provides information
regarding the potency of the compound. Dose-response curve
28. Limitations of dose-response terms
• It is difficult to select a test species that will closely duplicate
the human response to a specific chemical.
• Most lethal and toxic dose data are derived from acute (single
dose, short term) exposures rather than chronic (continuous,
long term) exposures,
• The LD50 or LC50 is a single value and does not indicate the toxic
effects that may occur at different dose levels.
