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!
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. Definition
Term used to describe a group of destructive
inflammatory diseases involving the peripheral cornea
whose final common pathway is characterized by
sloughing of corneal epithelium and keratolysis.
Crescent-shaped, juxtalimbal corneal stroma
associated with an epithelial defect, presence of
stromal inflammatory cells, and stromal
degradation.
Conjunctival, episcleral, and scleral inflammation
are usually evident
Up to 50% related to systemic disorders
May progressive circumferentially to involve entire
cornea
May progress to corneal melting leading to
perforation
3. WHY IN PERIPHERAL CORNEA ?
Peripheral cornea
Unique anatomical & immunological features
The peripheral cornea is adjacent to the vascularized limbus
Close to sclera / episclera / conjunctiva
Unlike the avascular central cornea, the peripheral cornea is
closer to limbal conjunctiva and derives part of its nutrient supply
from the limbal capillary arcade, a source of immunocompetent
cells.
Associated with sub conjunctival lymphaticsafferent arm
↑ IgM in periphery large
↑ Langerhans cells
Reservoir of inflammatory cells
More susceptible to immunological damage
4. What is the Pathogenesis?
The peripheral cornea is adjacent to the
vascularized posterior limbus
Capillary arcades extend 0.5mm into clear cornea
The peripheral cornea and nearby limbus are
unique in their cellular milieu
Peripheral Cornea has more Langerhans cells,
higher concentrations of IgM, and complement
(C1)’
5. .Antigen-presenting cells that express class IIMHC antigens
are capable of mobilization and induction of T cell
responses.
Circulating immune cells, immune complexes,and
complement factors tend to depositadjacent to the
terminal capillary loops of thelimbal vascular arcades
They produce collagenase. Vasculitic processes also cause
damage to vessel walls
This produces a variety of immune phenomena that
manifest in the peripheral cornea

7. History
PUK is frequently a manifestation of an occult systemic disease.
chief complaint/characteristics of present illness/past medical history/ family
history/and a meticulous review of systems.
Ocular symptoms vary, but nonspecific foreign body sensation with or
without eye pain, tearing, photophobia, and reduced visual acuity (secondary
to induced irregular astigmatism), are the most common symptoms for patients
with PUK
.Loss of vision can occur quickly when PUK progresses.
PUK associated with RA, WG, PAN, and RP is often linked with scleritis, and
eye pain may be pronounced in these individuals.
PUK in patients with Mooren ulcer may also produce pain, although there is no
scleral involvement.
Bilateral disease may be present in 21% of patient
8. RA, SLE, PAN, WG, or RP may present with the following symptoms, which
should be emphasized in the review of systems :General -
Constitutional symptoms, such as chills, fever, poor appetite, recent weight
loss, and fatigue
Skin - Rashes, nodules, vesicles, ulcer, nail changes, and periungual infarcts
Respiratory - Coughing, wheezing, pneumonia, and shortness of breath
Cardiac - Chest pain or discomfort and dyspnea
Gastrointestinal - Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing,
and diarrhea
Musculoskeletal - Muscle or joint pain, arthritis, back pain, and limitation of
motion
Neurologic - Headaches, seizures, psychiatric, paralysis, and
numbness/tingling
Other systemic symptoms - Deafness, swollen ear lobes, ear infections,
)vertigo, and noises in ears (suggestive of RP
9. Ocular&Systemic Examination
Physical Examination should be complete and include an overview of the head
(including the nose, mouth, and external ear), trunk, joints, and extremities. Skin lesions
should also be noted.
Ocular Examination A complete ophthalmic examination should be performed
with special emphasis on the conjunctiva, sclera, and cornea. Anterior chamber, vitreous,
and fundus examinations are also important.
slit lamp examination reveals a crescent-shaped destructive lesion of the
juxtalimbal corneal stroma associated with an epithelial defect, stromal
yellow-white infiltrates composed of inflammatory cells, and varying degrees
of corneal stromal thinning (minimal to full thickness) adjacent to the limbus.in
severe cases, the peripheral cornea is progressively destroyed
circumferentially and centrally.
PUK accompanied by necrotizing scleritis almost always indicates the presence
of a potentially lethal systemic disease.The anterior chamber should be
evaluated for depth and inflammation.A posterior segment examination is
typically indicated to help determine the underlying etiology.
13. Medical therapy
Ocular
Preservative free artificial tears, closure of puncta with plugs
or cautery, and bandage soft contact lenes are used to treat
associated dry eye and promote epithelialization of the ulcer.
Cyanoacrylate adhesive may be applied to the ulcer bed to
limit ulceration in cases of impending perforation. This may
also prevent influx of white blood cells from the tear film.
Amniotic membrane.
If the perforation is in the very periphery of the cornea, you
can create a conjunctival bridge over it
Topical antibiotics are used to prevent bacterial superinfection
14. Systemic
Systemic immunosuppression is often required to control ocular
inflammation. Initial treatment initially is with steroids in the form of
prednisone (1 mg/kg/day) or methylprednisolone (1 g/day x 3 days).
Steroid sparing agents are indicated in the case of impending
perforation, disease uncontrolled with steroids, or patients with
associated rheumatoid arthritis as they are at increased risk for
vascular events. Steroid sparing agents include antimetabolites such as
methotrexate, azathioprine, or mycophenolate mofetil, T cell inhibitors
such as cyclosporine or tacrolimus, alkylating agents such as
cyclospophosphamide and chlorambucil, and biologic agents such as 5-
infliximab and rituximab.systemic tetracyclin
15. Medical follow up
Medications and dosages are adjusted based on the level of
clinical response. Systemic medications may be managed in
collaboration with a Rheumatologist or other medical specialist
16. surgical intervention
Indications for surgical intervention include
corneal perforation or excessive corneal thinning with
impending perforation. Surgical options include
lamellar, penetrating or crescentric keratoplasty, as well as
possible corneo-scleral keratoplasty with a partial thickness
scleral resection in cases of sceral melting.
Resection of the conjunctiva adjacent to the area of peripheral
ulcerative keratitis may also be performed to limit
inflammation originating from the conjunctiva.
17. Surgical follow up
Close follow up after surgical intervention is necessary. Patients
should be monitored for recurrence of disease as well as infection
or rejection of the graft
18. Complications
Complications include infection and perforation of the ulcer.
Prognosis
Visual prognosis is related to the severity of disease. Patients with
associated systemic disease have an increased mortality rate
from vascular events
19. Thinning in the 'Quiet' Eye
Dellen
are localized areas of thinning, or drying, of the peripheral cornea. Dellen are
usually located adjacent to an area of tissue swelling, tissue growth,
inflammation, or eyelid abnormality. These abnormalities may alter the eye's
normal ability to spread the tear layer uniformly
20. Furrow degeneration:
usually asymptomatic,may occur as an idiopathic condition in elderly as a lucid
area separating corneal arcus from the limbus.Epithelium is intact, No
vascularization,Corneal thinning may occur .May be associated with systemic
diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis..
No treatment is required in idiopathic degenerations
21. Pellucid marginal degeneration
have severe thinning, usually inferiorly, within a couple of millimeters of the
limbus. Though there's no redness, pain or inflammation, it causes significant
irregular astigmatism, so the patient tends to complain of a slow, progressive
worsening of vision." On topography, PMD will have an area of inferior
steepening that resembles a crab claw, physicians note. "For PMD, glasses
sometimes help, though the management typically involves a rigid gas
permeable contact lens or a hybrid lens
22. Terrien's marginal degeneration.
This presents as a marginal furrow, usually bilateral, and is most common in
men between 20 and 40 years of age. It starts as a non-ulcerated area of
thinning located superiorly, and it slowly progresses from there. "You'll see
vascularization in addition to the thinning, often with a leading edge of lipid,"
However, the epithelium is also intact with this condition. The thinning can be
progressive, and can progress circumferentially or centrally. And, since it starts
superiorly, the patient usually gets against-the-rule astigmatism.
23. Thinning in the 'Hot' Eye
no treatment for the thinning, you can manage the astigmatism with glasses or,
failing that, RGPs or hybrid lenses
you first assess the defect's size, location and whether it's associated with a
hypopyon,""None of the immune conditions cause a hypopyon . if there's a hy-
popyon, it's a bacterial infection until proven otherwise. "Scrape it, culture it .
a non-infectious peripheral ulcerative keratitis, however, first suspect
rheumatoid arthritis or another autoimmune condition such as wegner
granulomatosis,hepatitis
If Investigation is negative so think of mooren ulcer
24. Mooren's ulcer, or a peripheral ulcerative keratitis of unknown
etiology.
"Mooren's is typically more chronic, progressive and very painful,.
"It will begin in the periphery and spread both circumferentially and
centripetally. The key sign is that there will be a leading, undermined edge of
de-epithelialized tissue. There will also usually be blood vessels crossing the
edge.there's also a milder form of Mooren's ulcer that's more limited and
actually responds well to medical therapy consisting of lubrication and low-
dose steroids and tarsorraphy
