Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
Ā
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 Departmentās 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 2252.1Ā±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years ā 64.8%, 20 years ā 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6Ā±1525.6 days), 148 LCP ā more than 10 years (LS=5054.4Ā±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7Ā±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 N0āN12, 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 N0āN12 (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.

āPredicting the Internet's catastrophic collapse and ghost sites galore in 1996.
(From the Ether) (Industry Trend or Event)(Column)InfoWorld | December 04, 1995 |
Metcalfe, Robert M. | Almost all of the many predictions now being made about 1996
hinge on the Internet's continuing exponential growth. But I predict the Internet, which
only just recently got this section here in InfoWorld, will soon go spectacularly supernova
and in 1996 catastrophically collapse. Here's why there soon will be only World Wide
Web ghost pages: Money. Investors poured a lot of money into the Internet but ā¦.ā
4. Claiming today is your birthday or
that you are getting married will
increase your Klout score
temporarily, as will contacting high
Kout people and getting them to
react back to you. But these
strategies are not sustainable.
5. Being involved in a number of different
networks and social media sites helps,
but quality trumps quantity. Many high
Klout people are not constantly active
on sites, may be silent for long periods.
Being influential in the real world also
helps.

8. When a cell phone with an

10. I run Leonard Cohen Nights musical
tribute events celebrating Leonard
Cohenās birthday in September in
Edmonton. Vicky Hynes runs a three day
Feast of Cohen between Christmas and
New Years, in St. Johns, Newfoundland.
In 2004 she asked me and my wife to
join them for their event as a special
guest. We arrived December 28 th with
plans to attend the December 29 th
performance at 8 pm.
11. The evening of the 29th and
morning of the 29th we had
nothing to do and it sat there
majestically looking back at us!
āCome to meā it seemed to say.
16. My coat was very
slippery and we
were cold enough to
have stopped
shivering, an
ominous sign!
17. The circuit board of
the phone kept
freezing up and
shorting our from
the sea spray but by
warming the phone
and battery in my
hand and replacing
one battery as the
other froze I was
able to make the
call.
18. Five stayed on the safe
ground above us and one
rappelled down to our
steeply inclined icy rock
perch. He connected the
two of us and our digital
camera to the rope and we
gradually inched back to
safety one by one.
19. We freshened up and were
able to make it to our seats
of honor at the Feast of
Cohen show right on time
at 8 pm!
20. If the default position of human
beings is to have a cell phone, is it
correct to say that we are saved by
cell phones regularly, or is that the
wrong way to think about it? We
reset lifeās expectations to where
we are always able to reach others
when we need them. That becomes
just normal life.
21. Is it possible we are safer because
of technology and just donāt realize
it? Safety accompanies abundance
and post-scarcity.
Is it possible Klout is making us
better more goal directed Internet
citizens?
