A decrease in red blood cells when the body can't absorb enough red blood cells.It is an organ specific autoimmune diseases in which the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the stomach.
It was considered as a deadly disease due to the lack of available treatment.
Pernicious anemia is most common in caucasian persons of north European ancestry than in other racial groups.
Megaloblastic anaemia is a red blood cell disorder due to the inhibition of DNA synthesis during erythropioesis.
Mitotically, the inhibition of the DNA synthesis impaires the progression of the cell cycle development from G2 to (M) stage.
Megaloblastic anaemia is a type of anaemia characterized by the formation of unusually large, abnormal and immature red blood cells called as megaloblasts by the bone marrow, which are released into the blood. To know more visit here: www.lazoi.com
Aplastic anemia is one of the stem cell disorder which leads to pancytopenia in the peripheral blood and decrease production of all cell line in bone marrow. it require bone marrow transplantation to cure the patient.

Anemia is a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a main part of red blood cells and binds oxygen. If you have too few or abnormal red blood cells, or your hemoglobin is abnormal or low, the cells in your body will not get enough oxygen.
amyloidosis(including history,physical and chemical properties, classification, variants, staining characteristics, lab diagnosis,morphological patterns according to organ involved ,), basically for undergraduates and residents in pathology
This would give an idea of the various bleeding disorders, associated clotting factors and more specifically management in the dental office of the patients with bleeding disorders
It is hematological disorder caused due to impaired DNA synthesis . It is deficiency of vitamin B12 and folate or both resulting in disorderd. Megaloblastic anemia is a form of macrocytic anemia. Macrocytic anemia is a blood disorder that causes your bone marrow to make abnormally large red blood cells. It’s also a type of vitamin deficiency anemia. CAUSES - Megaloblastic anemia happens when you don’t have enough vitamin B12 or vitamin B9 . vitamin B12 deficiency because their diet doesn’t include enough vitamin B12-rich foods like meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. conditions or have had medical treatments that affect their ability to absorb vitamin B12. Those conditions include
Pernicious anemia: This autoimmune disorder keeps your body from absorbing vitamin B12. Gastrectomy: This surgery removes part of your stomach, which may affect vitamin B12 absorption. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: This rare condition keeps your body from absorbing vitamin B12. Blind loop syndrome: Blind loop syndrome happens when food you’ve digested stops moving through your intestines, causing bacteria overgrowth that uses up vitamin B12. Fish tapeworm infestation: You can get a
tapeworm infection or infestation by eating infected fish that was undercooked. Tapeworms feed on vitamin B12.
Pancreatic insufficiency: This condition affects your pancreas’ ability to make enough digestive enzymes to break down food, which means you may not get all the nutrients you need,including enough vitamin B12 or vitamin B9.CLINICAL MANIFESTATION -Megaloblastic anemia symptoms are similar to symptoms of other types of anemia:Fatigue: This is feeling too tired to complete daily activities.Weakness: You may feel as if you don’t have enough muscle strength to get around easily or manage daily activities.Pallor: Your skin is more pale than usual.Shortness of breath (dyspnea): You may feel as if you can’t catch your breath or take a deep breath.
Feeling light-headed or woozy: Feeling as if you may faint.
Vitamin B12 deficiency sometimes affects your nerves, causing symptoms like tingling sensations, loss of sensation or muscle weakness. INVISTIGATION - physical examination and asking questions about your symptoms. They may do the following blood tests: (CBC): Healthcare providers use this test to evaluate your red blood cell count and function (PBS): This test is a technique healthcare providers use to examine your blood cells. Unlike some blood tests analyzed by a machine, healthcare providers perform the analysis by looking at blood cells under microscope.
Reticulocyte count: reticulocyte count measures the number of immature(reticulocytes) in your bone marrow. Healthcare providers measure reticulocytes to find out if your bone marrow is producing enough healthy red blood cells. MANAGEMENT-vit b12 supplements and vit .B 9 supplements.

Microbial biotechnology is the use of microorganisms to obtain an economically valuable product or activity at a commercial or large scale.
Like any other man-made technology, microbial biotechnology has both positive and negative effects on the environment.
Biotechnology may carry more risk than other scientific fields: microbes are tiny and difficult to detect, but the dangers are potentially vast.
The use of biotechnical methods—including genetically-engineered microorganisms—is indispensable for the manufacture of many products essential to mankind.
For better or for worse, it is the mankind's task to tackle the problems that are associated with the use of this technology, and which to a high degree are located in the field of unwanted environmental impacts.
The use of biotechnology should be restricted to enhancing the quality of life for plants, animals and human beings only. Anything beyond that is unnatural and highly disastrous to us.
AMR & Alternative Stratergies - MicrobiologySijo A
Antibiotic resistance poses one of the most important health challenges of the 21st century.
The rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria has already led to a significant increase in human disease and death.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that approximately 2.8 million people worldwide are infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, accounting for 35,000 deaths each year in the U.S. and 700,000 deaths around the globe.
When a pathogen enters the body, it’s confronted by elements of the innate immune system, which constitute the first line of defense.
Once breached, the adaptive response takes over, but it typically takes few days to be effective.
Immunity is the processes that occur to defend the body against foreign organisms or molecules.
Immunity includes:
Inflammation.
Complement activation.
Phagocytosis.
Antibody synthesis.
Effector T lymphocytes.
Obligate intracellular, unable to self-replicate.
Once inside living cells, viruses induce the host cell to synthesize virus particles.
The genome is either DNA or RNA (single or double stranded).
Viruses do not have a system to produce ATP.
Viruses range in size from 25 to 270 nm.
Viral tropism!!
The classification of viruses is based on nucleic acid type, size and shape of virion, and presence or absence of an envelope.
Viral Structure
I . Virion is the entire viral particle.
2. Capsid is the protein coat that encloses the genetic material.
3. Capsomer is the protein subunit that makes up the capsid.
4. Nucleocapsid is composed of the capsid and genetic material.
5. The envelope is the outer coating composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which is composed of viral-encoded glycoproteins and sometimes viral encoded matrix proteins. The envelope is derived from a host cell's membrane.
Some viruses use the plasma membrane, whereas others use endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, or nuclear membranes. Naked nucleocapsids are viruses with no envelopes.

Beta-glucan is most important, because it is the target of antifungal drug caspofungin.
Fungi are eukaryotic organisms VS bacteria (prokaryotic).
The cell membrane of fungus contains ergosterol, unlike human cell membrane which contains cholesterol.
Most fungi are obligate aerobes or facultative anaerobes, but none are obligate anaerobes.
The natural habitat of most fungi is environment, require a preformed organic source of carbon, association with decaying matter.
C. albicans is an exception!!!
Since antigen and antibody reactions are specific, they can be used to identify each other.
These diagnostic tests are particularly useful in diagnosing for examples: infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and in typing of blood and tissues prior to transplantation.
Specimens for bacteriology investigation should be forwarded as soon as possible to the laboratory in leak-proof, sterile containers.
Neutral glycerol saline should be added to stool sample if there is any delay before laboratory examination.
Complete early morning urine specimen (250 ml), for diagnosis of renal tuberculosis.
Plain tube (blood) for serology.
Blood clot may be cultured by adding a selective culture medium, e.g., for enteric organisms.

Biofilms are common in the natural world.
Biofilms are a collective of one or more types of microorganisms that can grow on many different surfaces.
The vast majority of the earth’s microorganisms (99 %) live in biofilms.
Microorganisms that form biofilms include bacteria, fungi, algae and some enteric viruses.
The biofilm matrix is an important part of the biofilm containing the microbial cells, exopolysaccharides, and water.
Usually, the microbial cells in a biofilm are embedded in the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) Produced by themselves which is also called Slime.
EPS contains extracellular DNA, proteins, and polysaccharides which form slime.
Microbial cells in the biofilm are different from the planktonic cells that are single cells and can float on a liquid medium.

Pathogen related proteins of inequality are proteins are structurally diverse group of plant proteins that are toxic to invading fungal pathogen
They are widely distributed in plants in trace amounts, but are produced in much greater concentration in pathogen attack on stress full.
PR proteins are either extremely acidic or extremely basic and therefore a highly soluble and reactive.
these are low molecular weight proteins which accumulate 2 significant level in infected plant tissues.
Fungi (singular: fungus) are a kingdom of usually multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophs (cannot make their own food) and have important roles in nutrient cycling in an ecosystem. Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually, and they also have symbiotic associations with plants and bacteria.
Entamoeba histolytica was first discovered by Losch in 1875.
It is worldwide distribution.
It is prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries where sanitary conditions are poor.
In india, it is prevalent in Chandigarh, Tamil Nadu & Maharashtra.
It is found in the colon of man.
It is monogenetic because the whole life cycle completed within a single host, i.e. man.

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

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!

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.
2. Pernicious Anemia
• A decrease in red blood cells when the body can’t absorb
enough vitaminB12.
• It is an organ specific autoimmune diseases in which the
body’s immune system attacks the lining of the stomach.
• It was considered as a deadly disease due to the lack of
available treatment.
• Pernicious anemia is most common in caucasian persons of
north European ancestry than in other racial groups.
3. Vitamin B12
• Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that keeps your nerves
and red blood cells healthy. It is responsible for the smooth
functioning of several critical body processes.
• It helps to form red blood cells.
• It is found in animal foods including meat, fish, eggs, milk and
other dairy products.
4.
5. Causes
• Intrinsic factor(IF) is a glycoprotein made in the stomach that
is necessary for the absorption of vitB12.
• When the stomach does not make enough IF, the intestine
cannot properly absorb vitamin B12.
• As a result it can cause permanent damage to nerves and
other organs.
• Also parietal cells located within the gastric mucosa are
destroyed.
• It also raises risk for developing stomach cancer.
6. Macrocytes
• Without enough vitamin B12,the body will produce
abnormally large red blood cells called macrocytes.
• Due to their large size they do not leave bone marrow.
• Gradually it decreases the amount of oxygen carried red blood
cells in the blood stream and leads to fatigue and weakness.
• So this is also called Macrocytic Anemia/Megaloblastic
Anemia.
• Very rarely it is passed through families. This is called
Congenital pernicious Anemia.
• Babies with this type of anemia do not make enough intrinsic
factor.

10. • Test that may done include:
(1)Bone marrow examination
(2)Complete blood count (CBC)
(3)Reticulocyte count
(4)Schilling test
(5)LDH level
(6)Methylmalonic acid level(MMA)
11. TREATMENT
The goal of the treatment is to increse your vitamin
B12 level.
• Eating foods high in vitamin B12 and folic acid can
help to prevent vitamin B12 deficiency caused by a
poor diet.
• Some people may also need to take vitaminB12
supplement by mouth.
• Certain type of vitB12 may be given through the
nose.
