This case report describes a late pseudoaneurysm that developed at the puncture site in a 30-year old male with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLA) who underwent coronary angiography. Two weeks after the procedure, an enlarging pulsatile bulge was detected at the puncture site. Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection resolved the pseudoaneurysm. The authors speculate that patients with chronic inflammatory diseases treated with anticoagulation and steroids may be predisposed to late pseudoaneurysm formation due to vessel wall weakness. Close follow-up is recommended for high-risk patients.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
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
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
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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!

2. Background
— Patient
characteristics:
— 30-‐year-‐old
male
— Hx
of
systemic
lupus
erythematosus
(SLE)
since
the
age
of
15.
— Diagnosed
as
APLA
syndrome
at
the
age
of
19
after
an
embolic
event
involving
the
spleen.
— On
chronic
warfarin
therapy,
corticoesteroids
and
anti-‐
inflammatory
drugs
(plaquanil).
— Positive
family
history
of
CAD.
3. Clinical
Characteris3cs
— Effort
dyspnea
and
non-‐specific
chest
pain
— Echo-‐Doppler
demonstrated
LVEF
of
50%
&
regional
wall
motion
abnormalities
(apico-‐inferior
hypokinesis)
— Referred
to
an
elective
coronary
angiography.
4. Procedural
Characteris3cs
— 5
days
prior
to
the
procedure
the
oral
anticoagulation
therapy
was
replaced
by
LMWH
(60
mg
bid),
while
continuing
the
steroids
and
the
anti-‐inflammatory
medication.
— The
last
dose
of
LMWH
was
given
the
morning
of
the
procedure,
about
8
hours
before.
— ASA
100
mg
was
added
at
admission.
5. Procedural
Characteris3cs
cont’
— Coronary
Angiography
— Right
radial
approach
— 6F
radial
vascular
sheath.
— Prior
to
angiography
we
routinely
inject
through
the
vascular
sheath:
UFH
2500
units
and
2
cc
of
5
mg
of
Verapamil
diluted
to
10
cc
with
NS
0.9%.
— Coronary
angiography
was
performed
utilizing
a
Judkin’s
technique
and
demonstrated
normal
coronary
arteries.
— No
additional
UFH
or
Verapamil
was
administered.
— The
vascular
sheath
was
immediately
removed
and
local
hemostasis
performed
manually.
— The
patient
was
discharged
4
hrs.
after
the
procedure.
6. Procedural
Outcome
— 3
days
after
parallel
therapy
with
warfarin
and
LMWH,
when
a
therapeutic
INR
was
achieved,
the
LMWH
was
interrupted.
— Two
weeks
after
the
procedure,
a
2x2
cm
pulsatile
bulge
appeared
at
the
puncture
site
and
the
patient
was
referred
to
a
Dupplex-‐US
of
the
puncture
site.
12. Discussion
— Late
appearance
of
pseudoaneurysm
is
rare
with
few
reported
cases
in
the
literature.
— pseudoaneurysms
are
caused
by
trauma,
vasculitis,
infections
and
iatrogenic
causes-‐all
promoting
weakness
of
the
vessel
wall
supporting
structures.
— Pseudoaneurysm
rupture
and
bleeding
to
the
forearm
can
have
devastating
outcome.
— We
speculate
that
patients
presenting
with
chronic
inflammatory
diseases
(SLE,
APLA,
vasculitis),
treated
by
both
anticoagulation
and
steroids
all
may
predispose
to
aforementioned
complication.
13. Discussion
— Recommendation:
— Considering
alternatives
to
diagnostic
angiography
— MSCT/SPECT/CMR
— Close
follow-‐up
is
warranted
in
patients
predisposed
to
this
complication.
— Issues
of
controversy
— Anticoagulation
— Option
I:
Due
to
its
short
half-‐life,
a
continuation
of
LMWH
for
one
week
before
re-‐initiation
of
warfarin
is
suggested.
— Option
II:
Performing
the
procedure
on
warfarin
with
low
initial
INR
— Sheath
removal
and
compression
(manual
vs.
mechanical)
