Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) is the most common type of autoimmune arthritis. It is triggered by a faulty immune system(the body’s defence system) and affects the wrist and small joints of the hand, including the knuckles and the middle joints of the fingers.
Treatments have improved greatly and help many of those affected. For most people with RA, early treatment can control join pain and swelling, and lessen joint damage.
Perform low-impact aerobic exercises such as walking, and exercises to boost muscle strength. This will improve your overall health and reduce pressure on your joints.
People who receive early treatment are more likely to feel better sooner and lead an active life. They are also less likely to have the type of joint damage that leads to joint replacement.
Expertise is vital to make an early diagnosis of RA and to rule out diseases that mimic RA. Rheumatologists are experts in RA and can design a customized treatment plan that is best for you.

Most people who have rheumatoid arthritis take some type of medication. Medications for RA typically fall into five categories:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs);
steroids;
disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS); biologics;
and janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors.
When prescribing a medication, a physician will take into account the patient’s age, disease activity, and other medical conditions, but each patient is unique. Figuring out which medication or combination of medications work best for an individual can be challenging and often requires a process of trial and error.
Hazards of OTC medication - a community pharmacy practiceSriramNagarajan16
Over the counter (OTC) medication most common practice in India and concurrently patient complaint due to
OTC encounter by healthcare practitioner also uncountable. In OTC practice one can buy medicines without
prescriptions of register medical practitioner (RMP). In India, peoples are always practice OTC to relieve pain
and treat symptoms of the common cold, flu, and allergies. In present study, a survey was conducted in different
places of central India and collected data especially from Ratlam and Mandsaur District of Madhya Pradesh
state, India. During the survey, information was obtained from the individuals used OTC medication as per predesigned questioners. Subsequently, documented information was evaluated to find out risk of OTC medication,
if any. In evaluation, it was found that about 21% OTC drug may cause moderate to severe hazardous effect to
the patients used OTC medication. Patients with complaints of fever; body ache etc. used only NSAIDs from
OTC and later diagnosed as chikungunya, when complaints persisted and visit doctors’ clinic. OTC medication
has tremendous risk which may fatal for patients and chances of produce new complications due to misuse of
drugs. So, medication should be taken after diagnosis by register medical practitioner that will make a healthy
society.
Naming drugs is not easy. Drugs are named according to a well-thought of arrangement in which the different syllables can express accurate pieces of information about the chemical structure, uses or action of the drug.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

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
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
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.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

3. This summary is not for you if:
„„
You have a type of arthritis other than RA, such as osteoarthritis.
„„
Your doctor has not suggested that you take DMARDs or
corticosteroids for your RA.
„„
You are under age 18. This information is from research on adults.
What will this summary tell me?
This summary will tell you about two types of medicine to treat RA:
DMARDs and corticosteroids. It will explain what research has found

4. Understanding Your Condition
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease that causes pain, swelling,
and stiffness in the joints. In some people, it can also cause the
joints to become damaged and deformed.
„„
Although it can affect any joint in the body, RA is most commonly
found in the hands, wrists, feet, and knees. Usually, if it is found in
one hand, it will appear in the other as well.
„„
Sometimes RA can cause problems with body parts other than your
joints such as your heart, lungs, eyes, or mouth.
„„
RA usually lasts many years or an entire lifetime. For some people,
RA can last for only a few months to a few years with treatment,
although this is rare.
„„
The symptoms of RA (pain, swelling, stiffness) can get worse for
some periods of time (called a “flareup”) and then get better for
some periods of time.

5. What causes RA?
The cause of RA is unknown, but researchers think the condition may
be passed down in families. The pain and symptoms of RA happen
when your immune system (the system of the body that helps defend
you from germs) attacks the healthy lining of your joints. Doctors are
not sure why the immune system in some people attacks their joints.
How common is RA?
„„
RA is less common than other kinds of arthritis such as osteoarthritis.
„„
More than 1 million people in the United States have RA.
„„
Women are more likely to have RA than men. About 7 out of every
10 people with RA are women.
„„
Although RA can happen at any age, it usually develops between
ages 30 and 50.
How can treatment help?
Although there is no cure for RA, treatment can:
„„
Relieve pain and swelling
„„
Slow down or stop joint damage
„„
Help lower the number of symptom “flareups” (times when pain or
swelling is the worst)
„„
Improve your ability to do daily activities such as bathing, getting
dressed, doing chores, reaching, and lifting
3
6. What medicines are used to treat RA?
RA is treated with several different types of medicines, including:
„„
Pain relievers: Over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin,
acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®), or
naproxen (Aleve®)
„„
Corticosteroids: Medicines that can relieve RA pain and swelling
for a little while
„„
Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs): Medicines
that can decrease symptoms, slow or stop joint damage, and improve
your ability to do daily activities
Sometimes DMARDs and corticosteroids are taken together to treat
RA. This summary looks at the research on how well DMARDs
work when taken alone or with corticosteroids.

7. Understanding Your Options
What are DMARDs?
DMARDs are a family of medicines that stop the body’s immune
system from attacking and destroying joints. If you have severe
RA symptoms or are not getting enough relief from pain relievers
or corticosteroids, your doctor may suggest a DMARD. DMARDs
may be taken with each other or together with pain relievers
and corticosteroids.
There are two kinds of DMARDs: nonbiologic and biologic.
Nonbiologic DMARDs
Like most medicines, nonbiologic DMARDs are produced from
chemicals. They are usually taken daily or weekly as pills, but some
can also be given as shots. Nonbiologic DMARDs include:
Hydroxychloroquine
(Plaquenil®)
„„ Leflunomide (Arava®)
„„
Methotrexate (Folex®,
Rheumatrex®, Trexall®)
„„ Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine
EN-Tabs®, Sulfazine®)
„„
Biologic DMARDs
Biologic DMARDs are proteins similar to those made in your
body, but these proteins are created in laboratories. Biologic
DMARDs must be given as shots or through an IV (intravenous)
tube into a vein in your arm. Biologic DMARDs include:
Abatacept (Orencia®)
„„ Adalimumab (Humira®)
„„ Anakinra (Kineret®)
„„ Certolizumab pegol
(Cimzia®)
„„
Etanercept (Enbrel®)
„„ Golimumab (Simponi®)
„„ Infliximab (Remicade®)
„„ Rituximab (Rituxan®)
„„ Tocilizumab (Actemra®)
„„
5
8. Some biologic DMARDs such as infliximab (Remicade®), rituximab
(Rituxan®), and tocilizumab (Actemra®) must be given through an IV
tube at a doctor’s office or clinic. This could take up to 2 hours. Other
biologic DMARDs come in injection pens that you can use at home.
Most biologic DMARDs are given once a month, once every other
week, or once a week. Your doctor may change your schedule
depending on how well you are doing.
What are the possible side effects of nonbiologic and
biologic DMARDs?
Because nonbiologic and biologic DMARDs work in different
ways, they have different side effects, some of which are serious.
Possible Side Effects of DMARDs

In
adalimumab [Humira®], etanercept [Enbrel®], golimumab [Simponi®], and infliximab [Remicade®])
have been associated with:
……
Serious infections such as tuberculosis (called “TB”), fungal infections such as yeast, pneumonia,
or food-borne illnesses such as listeria
……
Cancer, usually lymphoma (cancer in the lymph glands, which are part of the immune system)
„„ risk of serious infections or cancer is increased by taking two or more biologic DMARDs together
The
or by taking a biologic DMARD with a nonbiologic DMARD. The exact risk to people with RA who are
taking a DMARD is not known.
„„
Rituximab (Rituxan®) can cause a severe reaction the first time you take it. It could also cause a
life-threatening rash.
This information comes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labels of these medicines.
6
9. What are corticosteroids?
Corticosteroids are a kind of medicine that works like a certain type
of hormone in your body. Corticosteroids can help reduce swelling
and stop the body’s immune system from attacking healthy joints.
Corticosteroids are taken as pills, liquids, or shots and include:
„„
Methylprednisolone (Depo Medrol®, Medrol®, Solu-Medrol®)
„„
Prednisolone (Delta-Cortef ®, Econopred®, Orapred®, Pediapred®,
Prelone®)
„„
Prednisone (Liquidpred®, Deltasone®, Sterapred®)
What are the possible side effects of corticosteroids?
Possible side effects of corticosteroids listed by the FDA include:
„„
Swelling in the lower legs
„„
Mood swings
„„
Weight gain
„„
„„
Increased blood pressure
Increased pressure
in the eyes
Possible side effects from taking corticosteroids for longer than a few
days or weeks include:
„„
High blood sugar, which
can cause or worsen diabetes
„„
Increased risk of infections
„„
Loss of calcium from
bones, which can make
it easier to break a bone
„„
Irregular menstrual periods
„„
Thin skin that bruises easily
„„
Longer time for wounds
to heal

10. What does research say about nonbiologic DMARDs?
How well they work to treat RA:
„„
Methotrexate (Folex®, Rheumatrex®, Trexall®) and sulfasalazine
(Azulfidine EN-Tabs®, Sulfazine®) work about the same to reduce
symptoms, reduce the number of joints affected, improve the ability
to do daily activities, and slow down or stop joint damage.
„„
Leflunomide (Arava®) appears to work about as well as methotrexate,
but there is not enough research to know this for certain.
Side effects:
„„
All nonbiologic DMARDs appear to cause about the same
amount of side effects, but there is not enough research to know
this for certain.
What does research say about biologic DMARDs?
How well they work to treat RA:
„„
Biologic DMARDS work to decrease or completely stop
symptoms, improve the ability to do daily activities, and slow
down or stop joint damage.
Side effects:
„„
Taking a biologic DMARD increases the risk of developing
serious infections.
„„
Taking biologic DMARDs for long periods of time does not
increase the risk of having serious side effects.
What does research say about combining medicines?
How well they work to treat RA:
„„
8
If treatment with one DMARD does not relieve symptoms, taking
a biologic DMARD together with the nonbiologic DMARD
methotrexate works better than taking only one to improve the
ability to do daily activities and slow down or stop joint damage.
11. „„
Adding a corticosteroid to treatment with a nonbiologic DMARD
improves the ability to do daily activities more than taking a
nonbiologic DMARD alone. Adding a corticosteroid may also slow
down or stop joint damage more than taking a nonbiologic DMARD
alone, but there is not enough research to know this for certain.
„„
For people who have had RA for less than 3 years, taking two or
three nonbiologic DMARDs plus a corticosteroid works better
than taking only one nonbiologic DMARD.
„„
For people who have had RA for less than 3 years, taking the
nonbiologic DMARD methotrexate together with a biologic
DMARD decreases or completely stops symptoms and slows
down or stops joint damage in people whose RA was quickly
getting worse.
„„
For people who have had RA for a long time without any
improvement, taking three nonbiologic DMARDs together
reduces symptoms and the number of joints affected more than
taking one or two nonbiologic DMARDs.
Side effects:
„„
Taking a nonbiologic DMARD with a biologic DMARD does not
cause more side effects than taking the biologic DMARD alone.
„„
Taking two or more biologic DMARDs together can cause more
serious side effects than taking only one.
„„
Taking a corticosteroid together with a nonbiologic DMARD
does not make treatment more difficult to tolerate.
„„
In people who have had RA for less than 3 years, taking two
or three nonbiologic DMARDs plus a corticosteroid does not
make treatment more difficult to tolerate than taking only a
nonbiologic DMARD.
9
12. What does research say about how nonbiologic and
biologic DMARDs compare to each other?
How well they work to treat RA:
„„
The biologic DMARDs adalimumab (Humira®) and etanercept
(Enbrel®) help decrease symptoms about the same as the nonbiologic
DMARD methotrexate.
Side effects:
„„
There is not enough research to know if certain side effects happen
more often with nonbiologic or biologic DMARDs.
Making a Decision
What should I think about when deciding?
More research is needed to know which RA medicines might work
best for different people. There are several things to consider when
choosing a medicine to treat your RA:
„„
The trade-offs between the possible benefits and side effects for
each medicine
„„
Which medicine best fits your lifestyle, what is important to you
(your values), and your preferences
…… You may want to think about how comfortable you are with
taking pills, getting shots, or taking the medicine through an IV
tube. You may also want to consider how often you are able to go
to the doctor’s office or clinic and how much time you are able to
spend there.
„„
10
The cost of each medicine
13. What are the trade-offs?
Only you and your doctor can decide whether taking a DMARD
for your RA is worth the risk of possible side effects. You and your
doctor should discuss:
The amount of pain or joint damage you have and whether
treatment with a DMARD can help
„„ The risk of serious side effects from DMARDs
„„ Signs to look for to help you notice serious side effects so they
can be treated or so your medicine can be changed
„„ Whether adding a corticosteroid to your treatment with
DMARDs might help
„„ Other options besides DMARDs that might help your RA
„„
What are the costs?
The costs to you for nonbiologic and biologic DMARDs and
corticosteroids depend on:
Your health insurance plan
„„ The amount (dose) you need
„„ Whether you take the medicine
as a pill, as a shot, or through
an IV tube
„„
Whether a generic form of
the medicine is available
„„ Whether the company that
makes the medicine offers
financial help to lower the cost
„„
Corticosteroids can be taken for short periods of time (30 days) or
longer, depending on your specific needs. The cost for corticosteroids
is around $3 to $15 a month. The cost to you depends on how much
of the medicine you need and how long you will need to take it.
