The document provides a short overview of the Omicron COVID variant. It notes that Omicron was first identified in South Africa in November 2021 and that the first US case was identified on December 1st. Common symptoms include fever, cough and tiredness while serious symptoms include difficulty breathing. It is believed to be more transmissible than previous variants. PCR tests can still detect the variant and studies are ongoing on rapid tests. Current treatments are expected to be effective and vaccination provides protection against severe illness. WHO recommends measures like distancing, masks, ventilation and hand hygiene to stop spread.
Coronavirus Disease, officially named as COVID-19, started as an epidemic in a live animal market in Wuhan, China, and spread throughout the world at an alarming rate. It was declared a pandemic by WHO on 11th March, 2020. The virus causing the disease was initially named 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), but later officially renamed by WHO as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome- Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This virus is related to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV that caused epidemics in China and Saudi Arabia in 2002 and 2012, respectively. The virus primarily affects the lungs, and causes death in a small proportion of patients due to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The data on this new disease is very early, and might change as new data emerges.

Influenza is a respiratory infection caused by a virus (germ). Influenza occurs most often during the winter and easily spreads from person to person. Most people who get influenza feel sick for a week or two and recover. In some people, influenza leads to more serious lung infections.

Features, Evaluation and Treatment Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The WHO and other organizations have issued the following general recommendations:
Avoid close contact with subjects suffering from acute respiratory infections.
Wash your hands frequently, especially after contact with infected people or their environment.
Avoid unprotected contact with farm or wild animals.
People with symptoms of acute airway infection should keep their distance, cover coughs or sneezes with disposable tissues or clothes and wash their hands.
Strengthen, in particular, in emergency medicine departments, the application of strict hygiene measures for the prevention and control of infections.
Individuals that are immunocompromised should avoid public gatherings.
Patients and families should receive instruction to:
Avoid close contact with subjects suffering from acute respiratory infections.
Wash their hands frequently, especially after contact with sick people or their environment.
Avoid unprotected contact with farm or wild animals.
People with symptoms of acute airway infection should keep their distance, cover coughs or sneezes with disposable tissues or clothes and wash their hands.
Immunocompromised patients should avoid public exposure and public gatherings. If an immunocompromised individual must be in a closed space with multiple individuals present, such as a meeting in a small room; masks, gloves, and personal hygiene with antiseptic soap should be undertaken by those in close contact with the individual. In addition, prior room cleaning with antiseptic agents should be undertaken and performed before exposure. However, considering the danger involved to these individuals, exposure should be avoided unless a meeting, group event, etc. is a true emergency.
Strict personal hygiene measures are necessary for the prevention and control of this infection.

WHO declares Omicron as variant of concern?
It was 26 November 2021 that WHO declared that the world was facing a new variant of concern: Omicron.21K (omicron) is of primarily concern because of the detection of large number of mutation in its spike gene Figure 1. Most of these variants plays an important role in antibody recognition and ACE2 binding and are in the N-terminal or receptor-binding domain.

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

Omicron [SARS-CoV-2 variant: B.1.1.529]
The Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Evolution (TAG-VE) is an independent group of
experts that periodically monitors and evaluates the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and assesses if specific
mutations and combinations of mutations alter the behavior of the virus. The TAG-VE was convened on
26 November 2021 to assess the SARS-CoV-2 variant: B.1.1.529.
History:
The B.1.1.529 variant was first reported to WHO from South Africa on 24 November 2021.
December 1, 2021: The first confirmed U.S. case of Omicron was identified.
Omicron COVID Variant Symptoms
1. Most Common Symptoms: Fever, Cough, Tiredness, Loss of Taste or Smell.
2. Less Common Symptoms: Sore Throat, Headache, Aches, Pains, Diarrhoea, Rash on
Skin, Discolouration of fingers or toes.
3. Serious Symptoms: Difficulty Breathing or Shortness of Breath, Loss of Speech or
Mobility, or Confusion or Chest Pain.
Omicron is more transmissible (e.g., more easily spread from person to person) compared to
other variants.” It may be more transmissible.
Testing
The widely used PCR tests continue to detect infection, including infection with Omicron, as
we have seen with other variants as well. Studies are ongoing to determine whether there is any
impact on other types of tests, including rapid antigen detection tests.
3. Page 2
Effectiveness of Current Treatments:
Enhance surveillance and sequencing of cases.
Share genome sequences on publicly available databases, such as GISAID; reporting
initial cases or clusters to WHO.
Perform field investigations and assessments to understand if Omicron.
Countries should implement effective public health measures to reduce COVID-19
circulation overall, using a risk analysis and science-based approach.
WHO Recommended Actions to stop the spread?
Keep physical distance of at least 1 meter from others
Wear a mask
Open windows to improve ventilation
Avoid poorly ventilated or crowded spaces
Keep hands clean
Get vaccinated
Vaccines
Current vaccines are expected to protect against severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths due
to infection with the Omicron variant.
