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
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

Manipal Teaching Hospital
Download more documents and slide shows on The Medical Post [ www.themedicalpost.net ]
2. INTRODUCTION
• Not uncommon
•Always due to some underlying cause
•25% cases cause – unknown
•Often first sign of neurological disorders
•Powerful predictors of long term
cognitive and developmental impairement
3. Pathophysiology
1.Large group of neurons undergo
excessive, synchronized depolarization which
results from –
a) Increase in excitatory
neurotransmitters (glutamate)
b) Decrease in inhibitory
neurotransmitters (gamma amino
butyric acid- GABA
4. PROBABLE MECHANISMS
c. Disruption of ATP – dependent resting
membrane potentials - Failure of Na - K
pump – flow of sodium into the neuron
& potassium out of neuron
d. Membrane alteration - Increased Na
permeability
5. Incidence
• 1 in 200 healthy newborns
• 0.5 -0.8% Term babies
• 6-12% <1.5 kg (1 in 4 premature and
LBW
• Many seizures are very subtle – go
undetected
7. SEIZURE PATTERN
2.Clonic - Focal / Multifocal –
twitching migrate haphazardly
from one limb to another,
occur due to HIE & birth
trauma
3.Generalised seizure - rare
8. SEIZURE PATTERN
4. Focal clonic –
Localized & often assoc with loss of
consciousness
They are signs of bilateral c’bral disorder
Common in metabolic disorder, birth
trauma and c’bral infarction
9. SEIZURE PATTERN
5. Tonic seizure –
- Stiffening similar to decerebrate
posture but with eye signs and
heavy breathing
- Often associated with apnea
- Seen in IVH, preterm and
Kernicterus
10. SEIZURE PATTERN
6.Myoclonic seizures
• Rare in newborns
• Single/multiple flexion
movements, slow and jerky
• Seen in developmental defects and
anencephaly
12. Features Jitterine Seizure
ss
Frequency of jerks 5-6 / sec 2-3 / sec
Abnormal gaze-Eye Nil Present
movement
Autonomic disturbance Nil Increase HR, BP)
EEG Normal Abnormal
13. ETIOLOGY
A. Perinatal causes
1. Neonatal encephalopathy - 20-
40% of seizures
2. Intracranial hemorrhages- CNS
trauma, SAH, PVH,
14. B. METABOLIC CAUSES
• Hypoglycemia
• Hypocalcemia – most common metabolic
cause for NNS
• Hypomagnesemia
• Hypo / Hypernatremia
• Pyridoxine dependency
• IEM - Disorders of amino acid
metabolism
24. Second line investigations
• TORCH screening
• IEM screening – urine organic acids
• - S. amino acid assay
• Imaging – CT scan
- MRI
- EEG brain
25. Management
• Collect all samples
• IV line
• Thermoneutral environment
• Glucose 10% - 2-4ml/kg as bolus followed by
10% glucose as drip @ 8mg/kg/min
• IV calcium – gluconate 2ml/kg
26. ANTICONVULSANTS
Phenobarbitone
15 - 20mg / kg IV loading dose
3.5 - 5mg / kg / day maintenance dose
Phenytoin
15 - 20 mg / kg IV at 1mg / kg / min
4 - 8 mg / kg day maintenance dose
Midazolam 0.02 - 0.4 mg/kg IM
0.02 - 0.1mg/kg IV
0.06 - 0.4mg/kg/hr
Others Lorazepam, diazepam, Paraldehyde
28. ANTICONVULSANTS
↓↓
• Barbiturate coma – pentobarbital& thiopental
on ventilator – try to wean every 24 hrs
↓↓
• GA with isoflurane or halothane +
neuromuscular blockade (muscle paralysis)
29. TREATMENT
1. Optimise ventilation
Maintain CO, BP, Serum electrolytes & pH
2. Treat underlying diseases- Metabolic abnor
malities,meningitis,Narcotic withdrawal
3. Pyridoxine dependency- 50mg IV, repeat
every 10 min till control- maintenance dose –
5mg/kg PO daily
6. Hyperbilirubinemia –phototherapy,
exchange transfusion
30. Benign familial neonatal seizure
• Typically occur in first 48- 72 hrs of life
• Disappear by age 2-6 months
• A family history seizures is usual
• Development - normal
31. Benign idiopathic NNS
• Typically Presents at day 5 of life
• Also called 5th day fits
• Multifocal in type
• No cause detected
32. FOLLOW UP -
ANTICONVULSANTS
1. Stop all others except maintenance PB
2. Maintenance PB : 2wks - 2months
3. Risk of recurrence
Little: transient metabolic abnormalities
30-50% : HIE
High : Cortex malformations
33. PROGNOSIS
Normal Outcome: 56%
Neurological sequelae: 30 - 40%
Death : 15-25%
Chronic seizure disorder: 15-20%
Outcome depends on
1. Level of maturity
2. Etiology
3. Neurological examination
4. EEG / Imaging studies
35. POOR PROGNOSIS
• Low APGAR score ≤ 6 at 5min
• Onset o seizures within 24 hrs of life
• Presence of myoclonic attacks
• Abnormal EEG
• 3 or more days of uncontrolled seizures
36. Thank you
