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

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.

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!

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

2. One of thermotherapy is pelo-therapy or fangotherapy (from
greek word ‘pelos’= ooze or mud.
Fangotherapy is a type of treatment where thermal mud that
contains high concentrations of minerals are spread over the
body to help cleanse, purify, and revitalize the skin. After the
mud is applied, the treatment also commonly involves bathing,
perspiring, and a massage.
Mud corresponds to the Earth element of the five elements,
which the universe is made up of. It has been in use since ages
for curing many diseases. It is discovered that mud refreshes
and rejuvenates the entire body, warding off lethargy. It is even
considered very beneficial for healing wounds and skin diseases.
3. Structure of medicinal mud:
1. Crystalline skeleton – basis of mud includes silicate
particles, phosphate, gypsum, carbonates, salts of calcium and
magnesium, scrap cockle-shell, and oddments of plants. The sizes of particles
not more than 25 x 10³m
2. Colloidal complex – includes ferrum composite, aluminium, and organo-
mineral connection (sulfur, slicate and others). Sizes of particles not more
than 10⁶m.
3. Muddy solution – consists of salts, dissolved
water, sodium, magnesium, zink sulphate, trace substance and others.
Parts of Mud:
1. Biological active substances.
2. Microorganism
3. Organic Substances
4. Nonorganic Substances
4. Medicinal mud, according to origin is subdivided
into:
•Peat Mud- derivate from incomplete decompositionof marsh plants in
condition of lack air and increased humidity. Contains many organic matters
such as cellulose, amino acids, humic acids, various ions and 90% of water. It
has high thermal capacity and residual heat.
•Silty Mud
i) sulphide- from silty ground deposition of sea gulfs, salty lakes and mineral
lakes. Main component is iron sulphide which determine the dark color of
sulphade mud. (black or dark grey)
ii) sapropel- silty ground deposition of fresh lakes with low mineralization
and small amount of sulphide but a lot of organic and biological fossil
substance, trace substance and 13 groups of microorganism. It has variable
colour from brown to pink.
•Pseudovolcanic Mud
i) Knoll mud- derivate in oil and gas area. It come up surface through the
tetonic flaw. It is semifluid consistency and contains bromine, iodine, boron
and hydrocarbonates.
ii)hydrothermal- foundin fissile volcanic activity. It contains carbon dioxide,
hydrogen sulphide and trace substance.
5. Properties
•Chemical properties depend on its mineralization, M.(amount contained in
an unit volume of muddy solution of water soluble salts.)
•Mass of salts dissolved by water made by cations
sodium, magnesium, calcium and anions chloride, sulphate and carbonate.
•High absorptive capacity (medical method and bactericidal)
•Biologically active substance become organic (if organic matters more than
10% of dry substance) or inorganic (if metric lower than 10%)
•nce contains vitamins A and B in muddy solution.
•Thermophysic (temperature of mud depends on organic matter such as
humus and bitumens). It has high thermal capacity and heatconductivity but
low residual heat.
•Plasticity defined by the crystalline skeleton.
•Antibacterial activity(microorganism: putrefactive
aerobs, anaerobes, nitrose bacteria etc)
6. Main effects
•General effects (inc. PR, inc. Body temp.,immunostimulant, vasodilative,
dec. oxyhemoglobin, dec. blood level of creatinine, dec. triglycerides, dec.
alkaline phosphatase.
•Local effects (improve metabolic process in skin, stimulate bone cells
activity, provides relaxation to the eyes, stimulate synthesis of synovial fluid
and myorelaxant.)
Biological Effects
•Increase flow of lymph and blood circulation
•Resorptional
•Analgesic
•Antispastic
•Heating of tissue
•Immunomodulator effect
•Trophic effect
•Bactericidal
•Antiinflammatory
7. Indication Contraindication
•Bone and joints diseases •Acute inflammation

bronchitis, pneumonia. •Thyrotoxicosis
•Skin diseases: Psoriasis, Lucoderma
and Leprosy, Urticaria
•Conjunctivitis, hemorrhage in the
eyeball, itching of the eyes
•Raynauld’s syndrome, trophic ulcers.
8. Method treatment.
Mud therapy includes mud pack and mud bath.
Mud Pack
The advantages of the mud pack include retention of moisture and the prolonged coolness
as compared to other packs. The cool moisture of the pack relaxes the pores of the skin,
draws the blood to the surface, relieves inner congestion, promotes heat radiation and
eliminates morbid matter. Then a smooth paste of the clay is made with warm water. It is
cooled and spread over a strip of cloth. This mud bandage is placed on the body and
covered with protective material like flannel. It is kept for 10 to 30 minutes. It is very
effective in lessening the external heat, breaking up morbid matter, relieves from the
inactivity of labor pain etc. However, before the application of mud pack, fomentation is
done for five to ten minutes.
Mud Bath
It is applied to a large portion of the body. The clay is first grounded and then sifted to
remove impurities and then made into a smooth paste with warm water. The paste is
spread on a sheet and wrapped around the body. It is then covered with one or two
blankets. The mud bath is followed by cleansing bath by a hot water shower and then a
cold water shower. The bath tones up the skin and reenergizes the skin tissues, by
improving blood circulation. The duration of the bath lasts from 30 minutes to one hour.
These baths are very beneficial as they enliven the body from within, providing it cool and
relaxation.
9. Nota bene!
•Mud applied on skin gradually with temperature 39-40 C
•Avoid involvement front of the chest, head and external
genital area
•General application done for 30 minutes while local
application done within 10-15 minutes.
•At the end of therapy, mud removed by washing.
