Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can affect millions each year. It accounts for 15-19% of maternal deaths globally. Physiological changes in pregnancy can both mask and increase susceptibility to sepsis. The pathophysiology of sepsis involves a complex cytokine storm response to infection that leads to widespread endothelial damage, capillary leakage, and multi-organ dysfunction across the cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal and other systems. Prompt recognition and treatment of sepsis is critical to preventing maternal mortality, as early intervention can prevent many sepsis-related deaths.
Sickle cell anemia is an autosome linked recessive trait that can be transmitted from parents to the offspring when
both the partners are carrier for the gene (or heterozygous). The disease is controlled by a single pair of allele, HbA
and HbS. Out of the three possible genotypes only homozygous individuals for HbS (HbS, HbS) show the diseased phenotype. The ability to predict the clinical course of SCD during pregnancy is difficult. It is mandatory to follow up the patient closely from the very beginning i.e. from preconception to antenatal till labor. SCD is associated with both maternal and fetal complications and is associated with an increased incidence of perinatal mortality, premature
labor, fetal growth restriction and acute painful crises during pregnancy.

A widespread infection causing organ failure and dangerously low blood pressure.
Septic shock is a life-threatening condition caused by a severe localised or system-wide infection that requires immediate medical attention.
Symptoms include low blood pressure, pale and cool arms and legs, chills, difficulty breathing and decreased urine output. Mental confusion and disorientation may also develop quickly.
Emergency treatment may include supplemental oxygen, intravenous fluids, antibiotics and other medications.
requires a medical diagnosis
Symptoms include low blood pressure, pale and cool arms and legs, chills, difficulty breathing and decreased urine output. Mental confusion and disorientation may also develop quickly.
People may experience:
Whole body: low blood pressure, chills, fatigue, fever, or low body temperature
Respiratory: fast breathing or shortness of breath
Also common: fast heart rate, low urine output, or mental confusion
Treatment consists of fluids and blood pressure support
Emergency treatment may include supplemental oxygen, intravenous fluids, antibiotics and other medications.Diagnosis
Patients with sepsis may present in a myriad of ways, and a high index of clinical suspicion is necessary to identify subtle presentations. The hallmarks of sepsis and septic shock are changes that occur at the microvascular and cellular level and may not be clearly manifested in the vital signs or clinical examination. This process includes diffuse activation of inflammatory and coagulation cascades, vasodilation and vascular maldistribution, capillary endothelial leakage, and dysfunctional utilization of oxygen and nutrients at the cellular level.
Cardiac monitoring, noninvasive blood pressure monitoring, and pulse oximetry are indicated in patients with septic shock.
Laboratory tests
The following are investigative studies to detect a clinically suspected focal infection, the presence of a clinically occult focal infection, and complications of sepsis and septic shock:
Complete blood count with differential
Coagulation studies (eg, prothrombin time [PT], activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT], fibrinogen levels)
Blood chemistry (eg, sodium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, glucose, lactate)
Renal and hepatic function tests (eg, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, lipase)
Blood cultures
Urinalysis and urine cultures
Gram stain and culture of secretions and tissue
Imaging studies
The following radiologic studies, as indicated, may be used to evaluate patients with suspected sepsis and septic shock:
Chest, abdominal, or extremity radiography
Abdominal ultrasonography
Computed tomography of the abdomen or head Lumbar puncture A lumbar puncture/spinal fluid test is indicated in the following circumstances:Clinical evidence or suspicion of meningitis Clinical evidence or suspicion of encephalitis

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

2. Incidence and
significance
• Sepsis is a life threatening condition with millions of people
being effected every year.
• Africa and Asia together account for 80% of maternal
mortality and sepsis accounts for 15-19% of all maternal
deaths
• Incidence of sepsis in pregnancy is 0.3% compared to 0.6%
in general population , although the mortality is much higher
in pregnancy ranging from 15% in severe sepsis to 30% in
septic shock.
3. • Third leading cause of
maternal mortality and the
leading cause of preventable
maternal deaths.
• Its importance can be further
signified by the fact that
early recognition and
treatment can prevent these
deaths and also reduce
perinatal mortality. And
physiological changes in
pregnancy further challenge
early recognition.
The following topic shall discuss causes and
pathophysiology of sepsis to help us recognize
and treat better
4. Definition
• Sepsis = ancient greek word ‘sepein’ = ‘to rot’
• 2016 SCCM definition –
life threatening organ dysfunction caused by a
regulated host response to infection.
• Sepsis exists on a continuum of severity ranging
from infection and bacteremia to sepsis and
septic shock, which can lead to MODS and death
5. Sepsis or no sepsis?
Physiological changes in pregnancy
• Physiological changes in pregnancy pose a
challenge to diagnose sepsis in pregnancy

RISK FACTORS
8. PATHOGENESIS
• Most of what is known concerning sepsis comes from study
of endotoxin -lipopolysaccharide-LPS
• The lipid A moiety is bound by mononuclear blood
cells,becomes internalized and stimulates release of
mediators and a series of complex downstream events.
Clinical effects manifested by cytokine effects.
• Most of the pathogens produce endotoxins e.g klebsiella ,
some produce exotoxin eg. Clostridium,Staph
9. invasion
• Begins with inflammatory response against microbial endo and
exotoxins
• CD4 T cells and leukocytes stimulated
reaction
• Proinflammatory compounds-TNF-α, Interleukins, cytokines, proteases,
oxidants, bradykinin – result in:
• CYTOKINE STORM - procoagulant activity, gene activation,
receptor regulation and immune suppression
response
• Pathophysiological response to this cascade is selective vasodilation
with maldistribution of blood flow
• Leukocyte and platelete aggregation cause capillary plugging
• Worsening endothelial injury with profound capillary permeability
capillary leakage and interstitial fluid accumulation
13. • CAPILLARY LEAKAGE INITALLY CAUSES
HYPOVOLEMIA, IF CRYSTALLOID GIVEN
• HIGH CARDIAC OUTPUT, LOW SYSTEMIC
VASCULAR RESISTANCE CONDITION
• MYOCARDIAL DEPRESSION

• COLD PHASE
• POOR PROGNOSIS
• CEREBRAL, RENAL AND PULMONARY
DYSFUNCTION
• DEATH
Hemodynamic effects of sepsis syndrome. Values
for normal women at term are shown by dots. With early sepsis,
there is high cardiac output and low vascular resistance. With fluid
resuscitation, cardiac output increases even more, but so does
capillary hydraulic pressure. With continued sepsis, there may be
myocardial depression to further increase capillary hydraulic pressure.
Decreased plasma oncotic pressure (serum albumin [g] ×
6 mm Hg) contributes to interstitial lung fluid and endo/epithelial
leak causes alveolar flooding

15. • Depending on degree of injury and inflammatory
response there is a pathophysiological and clinical
continuum- ranging from subtle signs to septic
shock(hypotension unresponsive to IV hydration)
16. Summary
• Sepsis is a continuum from infection to septic
shock.
• Physiological changes in pregnancy mask and also
predispose these women to sepsis.
• Prophylaxis and knowing the risk factors can
prevent most of the sepsis.
• Sepsis involves complex pathophysiology involving
multiple systems, and a background knowledge of
these changes is required to make a diagnosis
• Early recognition and early treatment is the
main stay.
