Malarial fever is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which are transmitted via the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The most common species that cause malaria in humans are P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. falciparum. The parasite's lifecycle involves stages in both the human host and the mosquito vector. In humans, the parasites infect liver cells and red blood cells, causing symptoms that include fevers, chills, and anemia. Control and prevention of malaria focuses on destroying mosquito vectors, preventing infection through repellents and anti-malarial drugs, and treating infected patients.
Protozoan parasites characterized by the production of spore-like oocysts containing sporozoites were known as sporozoa.
They live intracellularly, at least during part of their life cycle

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!

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

malarial fever and its management and preventable measures
1. A brief on malarial fever
and its outcomes

Presented by:-

2. Definition of malaria:-
• It is an infection of hepatocytes and RBC’s caused
by protozoan parasites of genus plasmodium.
• Because of their malaria causing abilities, these
species commonly referred as malarial parasites.
3. All resides in the RBC
Mosquitoes are the vectors (most common- female anaphelous)
species to cause different types of malaria
P. vivax, P. ovale, P. Malariae, P. Falciparium and P. Knowlesii.
Geographically distributed in tropical and temperate countries
P. vivax is most commonly distributed and prevails in the
temperate regions of the world.

6. Life Cycle of P. vivax
• P. Vivax is the most common of the human infecting malaria
fever parasites.
• Causes benign tertian or vivax malaria, characterized by a
48 h cycle b/w first fever and subsequent chills and fever.
• Hosts: diagenetic
a. Man:
asexual cycle in two phases
First in liver – liver schizogony and cryptomerozoites and
metacryptomerozoites are realeased.
Second in RBC – erythrocytic schizogony and forms gametes
b. Mosquito:
Sexual cycle is completed in female anopheles
It involves gametogony and sporogony realeasing sporozoites.

Symptom onset
10. Symptoms of malaria first appear several
days after the infection of the parasite.
Each attack of fever shows three stages:
1. Cold Stage
• At the onset of malaria patent suffers
from severe shaking chill.
• Cold stage lasts for 20 min
2. Hot stage
• As the chill subsides, the body temp rises
as high as 106°F. and lasts for 1-4 h.
3. Sweating stage
• As the temp lowers down, patent sweats
profusely.
• Fever comes down and temperature
becomes normal
11. Other signs and symptoms:-
• Haemolytic anaemia,
•Jaundice,
• Dark pigmented urine (black water fever),
• Hepatomegaly,
• Spleenomegaly,
• Headache,
• Dry cough,
• Weight loss
14. Malaria fever occurs when schizont in RBC bursts and set free
their merozoites and malarial pigment haemozoin in the plasma.
Anemia is inevitable due to:
• Destruction of RBC
• Infected RBC become more fragile and rupture easily
• Parasite produce haemolysin- brings haemolysis
• In chronic case- spleen becomes enlarged
Control of Malaria
Control Measures falls into three categories:
1. Elimination or destruction of vector
2. Prophylaxis (prevention of infection)
3. Treatment of infected patents
15. [A]. Destruction of anopheles
Most effective and surest way of controlling malaria and can be
done through
• Destruction of adult mosquitoes: method used are killing of
hands, traps, fumigation, spraying and sterilization .
• Elimination of breeding places: swampy, marshy and water
logging areas are cleared out, bushes and shrubs are cleared
off etc.
• Destruction of larvae and pupae of mosquito through proper
drainage (Flowing water), oil screens, chemical larvicides and
biological methods.
[B]. Prevention of infection
• Through the use of insect repellent, nets, gloves and by
screening bedroom windows.
[C]. Treatment
• Chlorquine and quinine: anti-erythrocytic stage drugs.
• Primaquine and pyrimethamine: anti-exoerythrocytic stage
drugs.
