The document discusses the rights of elderly people and an aging global population. It outlines three main categories of rights for elders: protection from abuse, participation in society, and a positive social image. The rights discussed include the right to life, liberty, security, healthcare, adequate living standards, non-discrimination, and freedom from torture. Several international agreements aim to protect and promote elder rights, while more still needs to be done to address discrimination and establish meaningful roles for the growing elderly population worldwide.
Remarkable progress is being made on HIV treatment. Ahead of World AIDS Day, UNAIDS has launched a new report showing that access to treatment has risen significantly.
Aging is a natural process, which leads to weakening of the body and the mind. The productivity and the working ability also decreases of a person. It is the duty of the state as well as the family of a person to take care of him in his old age. However, due to rampant illiteracy and lack of awareness, many senior citizens are not aware of their rights. This presentation seeks to discuss the rights and facilities available to the elderly and international conventions regarding senior citizens.

What does the right to health entail?
When we talk about the right to health we are not just talking about the physical or mental well-being of a person. The right to health involves many other things without which you cannot enjoy good health. The most authoritative interpretation of the right to health is outlined in Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and has been ratified by Namibia and many other countries.

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.

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.

2. Older People and Human Right
Over the past several decades a massaive change has
taken place in a key demographic area of the planners
human population : age. the oldest old are the most rapidly
expending segment of the eldery population , currently the
oldest old make up 11 percent of the 60+ age group and will
grow to 19 percent by 2050.
3. Con..
• more recenly middle age has become recognized as a
distnictive phase and increasingly there is a trend to
differentiate between the young elderly (those aged
between 65 and 74 years) and old elderly (those aged
over 75 years) thre is also the distiniction between the
third age (those aged 50-74 years ) and the fourth age.
4. world aging scenario
• population agening is happening in all regions and in
countries at various levels of development . it is
progressing fastest in developing countries including in
those that also have a large population of young people.
• current 15 countries with more than 10 million older
persons, seven of these are developing countries .
5. Rights of Elders’
The rights of aged persons can be broken down into three
main categories :
1. Protection : refers to secuirng the physical ,
psychological and emotional safety of elderly prersons with
regard to their unique vulnerability to abuse and ill treatment
.
2. Participation : refers to the need to establish a greater
and more active role for older persons in society .
6. Con...
3. Image : Refers to the need to define a more psitive , less
degrading and discrimatory idea of who elderly persons are
and what they are capable of doing .
7. Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The universal declaration asserts that everyone has the :
Right to life , liberty and secuirty of person .
Everyone is entitled to social secuirity .
Realization of any economic, social and cultural rights that
are assential to that individual’s dignity and personality
development .
Every one should have the opportunity to participate in
cultural activities in their community.
8. Con...
Everyone is entitled to standard of living adequate for
ones’ health and well-being including food, clothing ,
houing and medical care as well as any needed social
services provided by the goverments of nation states.
Most important to elderly perosns , in the event of
unemployement , sickness, disability ,widowhood or old
age , one has the right to secuirity due to circumstances
beyond one’s control.
9. Rights of Elders
Right to life
Rights to liberty
Rights to secuirity
Right to healthcare
Rights to an edequate standard of living
Right to non-discrimination
Rights to participation
Right to be free from torture or cruel in human treatment .
10. Right to life, liberty and secuirity
• The right to life: the right to life is the superme right of
human being , it is basic to all human right and without it
all other rights are without meaning.
• The right to liberty : the right to liberty protects the
physical liberty og the person through a cluster of
interrelated rights.
• The right to secuirty : the right to secuirty is closely
associated with the light to liberty in which context to state
to require to keep its citizens safe, renging from the threat
of domestic violences.
11. Right to health and care
The right to health and care
“The right to health means that governments must generate
comditions in which everyone can be as healthy as possible
such condition range from ensuring availbility of health
services, healthy and safe working conditions ,adequate
housing and nutritious food, the right to health does not
mean the right to be healthy” (WHO)
12. Con..
The human rights to health means that everyone has the
right to the highest attainable standard of physical and
mental health, which include access to all medical services ,
sanitation , eduquate food, decent houing , healthy working
conditions, and a clean environment.
13. Right to non-discrimination and
participation
• The right to non-discrimination: Elderly people should
not be though of us useless to society simply because
some of them may need more care than the average
person .
• The right to participation : is sometimes threatened due
to prevailling negative images societies hold of the aged,
the aged are often not given the same opportunities as
others to be productive members of society .
14. Right to be free from torture or cruel in
human treatment
Un-Article 15 freedom from torture or cruel in human
treatment or punishment
1.No ne shall be subjected to torture or to cruel , in human
treatment or punishment , in particular no one shall be
subjected without his /her free consent to medical or
scientific experimentation .
2. states parties shall take all effective legislative ,
adminstrative , judical or other measures to provent persons
with disabilities on equal bases with others.

17. Remarks
Much is currently being done on an international level to
prepare for the ensuring crisis of our world’s aging
population, it is widely recognized that the eldery are often
victims of discrimination and abuse and that their unique
needs are often not sufficiently met by their governments
and communities.
Additionally, societies have still not clearly estabilished a
new, more active role for our world’s elderly citizens.
