Insomnia is defined as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or early awakening despite opportunities for sleep, associated with impaired daytime functioning for at least 3 nights per week for over a month. It can be acute (under 3 months) or chronic. Assessment involves evaluating sleep history, screening for sleep apnea and mental health issues. Treatment goals are improving sleep quality, decreasing distress, and improving daytime function. Non-pharmacological therapies like CBT, sleep hygiene, and sleep restriction are recommended initially. Hypnotics may be used short-term but have risks and should be avoided for chronic insomnia if possible. CBT-I is the cornerstone treatment and can be combined with short-term medication
It focuses on sleep medicine - sleep disorders, sleep stages, DSM classification, types, classifications, and pharmacological and non pharmacological management.

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!

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.

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

3. insomnia :
difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or early awakening despite
the opportunity for sleep that is associated with impaired daytime
functioning and occurs at least 3/wk for at least one month.
4. • Insomnia can be:
acute (lasting up to 3 month )
chronic (lasting >3 month )
Insomnia (without comorbidity)
Insomnia with comorbidity:
• o Medical disorders
• o Psychiatric disorders
Insomnia with another primary sleep disorder
5.
6. • Chronic insomnia consequences :
cognitive difficulties (e.g., problems with memory, attention, and
concentration; confusion),
anxiety and depression,
poor quality of life,
risk of suicide,
substance use relapse,
possible immune dysfunction,
increased risk of CVD (e.g., HTN, MI, or DM ) and all-cause
mortality.
7. • Excessive daytime sleepiness caused by insomnia can
lead:
to diminished work performance,
increased absenteeism,
MVC , accidents at work, fewer promotions,
increased accidents and falls in older persons,
10. ASSESSMENT
• Detailed sleep Hx
• screen for sleep apnea.
• screen for depression/anxiety disorder (GAD-7/PHQ-9)
• CONSIDER screening for other mental health conditions
if relevant (Bipolar/ADHD).
• CONSIDER screening for other medical issues such as
pain syndromes, and disease states in all other systems
that can disrupt sleep.
• Ask the patient to keep a sleep diary
11.
12. MANAGEMENT
• The ultimate treatment goals:
• qualitatively and quantitatively improve sleep
• decrease related distress.
• improve daytime functioning
13. NON- PHARMACOLOGICAL RX
• Behavioral interventions are effective and recommended
as an initial approach to the treatment of chronic
insomnia based on RCT .
• Sleep hygiene
• Stimulus control therapy
• Sleep restriction therapy
• CBT
14. SLEEP HYGIENE
• exercise regularly (not within 4hrs of bedtime);
• avoid large meals and limit fluid intake in the evenings;
• limit caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol intake 4-6 hrs before
before bedtime.
• use the bedroom for sleep .
• maintain a regular sleep-wake cycle without daytime
napping.
• avoid negative stimuli at bedtime:
• loud noises,
• bright lights.
• extreme temperature variations.
15. STIMULUS CONTROL THERAPY
• Lie down to sleep only when feeling sleepy
• Avoid wakeful activities at bedtime (e.g., watching
television, talking on the phone, eating)
• Leave the bed if unable to fall asleep within 20 minutes
and return when sleepy
• Maintain a consistent sleep-wake cycle(temporal control
therapy ) :
set the alarm for the same time each morning regardless of how
much sleep occurs during the night.
16. SLEEP RESTRICTION THERAPY
• Limit time in bed to the number of hours actually spent
sleeping (not less than five hours); sleep time gradually
increases as sleep efficiency improves.
• There is a risk of excessive daytime sleepiness with this
approach.
17. CBT
• CBT-I significantly improves chronic insomnia
and daytime functioning for 2 years.
• is a combination of cognitive therapy,stimulus control
therapy, and sleep restriction therapy with or without the
incorporation of relaxation therapy.
18. HYPNOTICS
• There is good evidence for the efficacy of hypnotic drugs
in short-term insomnia but they do not treat any
underlying cause.
• adverse effects, :
• daytime sedation
• poor motor concentration
• cognitive impairment.
• In older people, in particular, the magnitude of the
beneficial effect of hypnotics may not justify the
increased risk of adverse effects (ie, falls and cognitive
impairment).
19. • Hypnotics should be prescribed at the lowest effective
dose for as short a period as possible.
• In transient insomnia:1-2doses of a short-
acting hypnotic
• Short term insomnia :intermittent dosing of a
short acting hypnotic given for no more than 3 weeks.
• Chronic insomnia :
• rarely benefits from the routine use of hypnotics
• should where possible be avoided.
20. • licensed hypnotic drugs :
• benzodiazepines (temazepam) .
• Z-drugs (zopiclone, zolpidem and zaleplon).
• NICE recommends that switching hypnotics should only
occur if there are documented adverse effects from a
particular agent.
21. BENZODIAZEPINES
• Effective
• many people develop tolerance ,
• Less therapeutic benefit from chronic use,
• dependence after 2-4 weeks of regular use.
• A withdrawal symptoms
• Rebound insomnia which is worse than the
original symptoms.
• Risk of misuse,
• only for severe, disabling insomnia
• The lowest dose for <4wks
22. THE ‘Z DRUGS’
• Zaleplon, zolpidem and zopiclone (the Z-drugs) are
nonbenzodiazepine hypnotics.
• Although the Z-drugs differ structurally from the
benzodiazepines, they are also agonists of the GABA
receptor complex and therefore enhanceGABA-mediated
neuronal inhibition.
• developed with the aim of overcoming some of the
disadvantages of benzodiazepines
23.
24.
25.
26. • Promethazine25-50 mg : is an alternative for
patients in whom other hypnotics are not recommended.
• It has a long half-life and there is the potential for hang
over effect.
27.
28. TAKE HOME
• CBT-I is the cornerstone of treatment for insomnia.
When CBT-I is combined with medication it may produce
faster improvements in sleep than CBT-I alone. If
combining CBT-I and medication, after the initial phase,
it is best to continue CBT-I while tapering/discontinuing
medication.
29. ACUTE INSOMNIA
• Treat acute insomnia only if there is a substantial
negative impact on daytime performance.
• Intervene early and suggest behavioral therapy .
• Consider using short term (e.g., two weeks)
pharmacotherapy with close follow-up based on the
severity and urgency of the presentation.
• Start medication at same time as CBT-I.
• Follow-up to monitor progress in two to four weeks.
