The latest guidelines on the management of a COPD patient ( Stable COPD, patient with an exacerbation of COPD), latest modalities of treatment of a COPD patient
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.
MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
20. • Assess symptoms
• Assess degree of airflow limitation using spirometry
• Assess risk of exacerbations
• Assess comorbidities
Use spirometry for grading severity
according to spirometry, using four
grades split at 80%, 50% and 30% of
predicted value
Assessment of airflow limitation
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2015
22. Reporting Standards
• Largest FVC obtained from all acceptable efforts should be
reported.
• Largest FEV1 obtained from all acceptable trials should be reported.
• May or may not come from largest FVC effort.
• All other flows, should come from the effort with the largest sum of
FEV 1 & FVC.
• PEF should be the largest value obtained from at least 3 acceptable
maneuvers.
24. Pre & Post Bronchodilator Studies: Withholding
Medications
25. Reversibility
Reversibility of airways obstruction can be assessed with the use of
bronchodilators.
• > 12% increase in the FEV1 and 200 ml improvement in FEV1
OR
• > 12% increase in the FVC and 200 ml improvement in FVC.
26. Reversibility
Reversibility of airways obstruction can be assessed with the use of
bronchodilators.
• > 12% increase in the FEV1 and 200 ml improvement in FEV1

E- I don’t use
35. Assess Risk of Exacerbations
To assess risk of exacerbations use history of exacerbations and
spirometry:
•Two or more exacerbations within the last year or an FEV1 < 50 %
of predicted value are indicators of high risk.
•One or more hospitalizations for COPD exacerbation should be
considered high risk.
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2015
36. Assess COPD Comorbidities
COPD patients are at increased risk for:
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Osteoporosis
• Respiratory infections
• Anxiety and Depression
• Diabetes
• Lung cancer
• Bronchiectasis
These comorbid conditions may influence mortality and
hospitalizations and should be looked for routinely, and treated
appropriately
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2015
37. Revised combined COPD assessment
• A refinement of the ABCD assessment tools is proposed that separates spirometric
grades from the “ ABCD “ groups
• ABCD groups will be derived exclusively from patient symptoms & exacerbations
history
• Spirometery in conjugation with patient symptoms & exacerbation history remains
vital for :
1) Diagnosis
2) Prognostication
3) Therapeutic approaches

41. • LABAs and LAMAs are preferred over short-acting agents except for patients with
only occasional dyspnea (Evidence A).
• Patients may be started on single long-acting bronchodilator therapy or dual long-
acting bronchodilator therapy, In patients with persistent dyspnea on one
bronchodilator treatment should be escalated to two (Evidence A).
• Inhaled bronchodilators are recommended over oral bronchodilators (Evidence A).
• Theophylline is not recommended unless other long-term treatment bronchodilators
are unavailable or unaffordable (Evidence B).
Key Points for the Use of bronchodilators
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2017
42. • Long-term treatment with ICS may be considered in association with LABAs for
patients with a history of exacerbation despite appropriate treatment with long-
acting bronchodilators (Evidence A).
• Long-term therapy with oral corticosteroids is not recommended (Evidence A).
• In patients with exacerbations despite LABA/ICS or LABA/LAMA/lCS, chronic bronchitis
and severe to very severe airflow obstruction, the addition of a PDE4 inhibitor can be
considered (Evidence B).
Key Points for the Use of anti- inflammatory agents
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2017
43. Key Points for the Use of anti- inflammatory agents
• In former smokers with exacerbations despite appropriate therapy, macrolides can be
considered (Evidence B )
• Statin therapy is not recommended for prevention Of exacerbations (Evidence A).
• Antioxidant mucolytics are recommended on in selected patients (Evidence A).
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2017
44. • Patients with severe hereditary alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and established
emphysema may be candidates for alpha-1 antitrypsin augmentation therapy
(Evidence B).
• Antitussives cannot be recommended (Evidence C).
• Drugs approved for primary pulmonary hypertension are not recommended for patients
with pulmonary hypertension secondary to COPD (Evidence B).
• Low-dose long acting oral and parenteral opioids may be considered for treating
dyspnea in COPD patients with severe disease (Evidence B).

51. • All Group A patients should be offered
bronchodilators treatment based on it’s
effect on breathlessness ( this can be
either short- or long-acting
bronchodilator ).
• This should be continued if symptomatic
benefits is documented.
• Alternative mono bronchodilator class
may be used if needed after evaluating
effect on symptoms.
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2017
Bronchodilators
Continue , stop or

Group A
52. • Initial therapy should consist of long-acting
bronchodilator “ long-acting inhaled bronchodilators
are superior to short-acting inhaled bronchodilators
taken as needed ( prn) and are therefore
recommended.
• There is no evidence to recommend one class of long-
acting bronchodilators over another for initial relief of
symptoms in this group of patients.
• In the individual patient, the choice should depend on
the patient's perception of symptom relief.
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2017
Group B
A long – acting bronchodilators
( LABA or LAMA )
LAMA + LABA
Persistent
Symptoms
53. • For patients with persistent breathlessness on monotherapy—
the use of two bronchodilators is recommended.
• For patients with severe breathlessness initial therapy with two
bronchodilators may be considered.
• If the addition of a second bronchodilator does not improve
symptoms, we suggest the treatment could be stepped down
again to a single bronchodilator.
• Group B patients are likely to have comorbidities that may added
to their symptomatology and impact their prognosis and these
possibilities should be investigated.
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2017
Group B
A long – acting bronchodilators
( LABA or LAMA )
LAMA + LABA
Persistent
Symptoms
54. • Initial therapy should consist of a single long acting
bronchodilator, in two head to head comparisons the
tested LAMA was superior to the LABA regarding
exacerbation prevention, therefore we recommend
starting therapy with a LAMA in this group.1
• Patients with persistent exacerbations may benefit
from adding a second long acting bronchodilator
(LABA/LAMA) or using a combination of a long acting
beta 2- agonist and an inhaled corticosteroid
(LABA/ICS). 1
• As ICS increases the risk for developing pneumonia in
some patients, our primary choice is LABA/LAMA.1

• EMA supports the risk/benefit profile of ICS-containing therapies in COPD “there should be
no change to the way in which these medicines are used.” 2
• Risk of patients with COPD developing serious pneumonia is particularly elevated and dose-
dependent with fluticasone propionate use, and comparatively much lower with
budesonide.3
• No prospective head-to-head studies have been performed to determine relative risk of
adverse events between ICS-containing treatments
55. We recommend starting therapy with a LABA/LAMA
combination because:
•In studies with patient reported outcomes as the primary
endpoint LABA/LAMA combinations showed superior
results compared to the single substances.
“If a single bronchodilator is chosen as Initial
treatment, a LAMA is preferred for exacerbation prevention
based on comparison to LABAs “
•A LABA/LAMA combination was superior to a LABA/ICS
combination in preventing exacerbations other patient
reported outcomes in Group D patients.

56. • In some patients initial therapy with LABA/ICS
may be the first choice.
• These patients may have a history and/or
findings suggestive of asthma-COPD overlap.
• High blood eosinophil counts may also be
considered as a parameter to support the use
of ICS, although this is still under debate

57. In patients who develop further exacerbations
on LABA/LAMA therapy we suggest two
alternative pathways:
•Escalation to LABA/LAMA/ICS.
“Studies are underway comparing the effects
of LABA/LAMA vs. LABA/LAMA/ICS for
exacerbation prevention. “
•If LABA/ICS therapy does not positively
impact exacerbations/symptoms a LAMA can
be added.

considered:
•Add roflumilast : This may be considered in patients
with an FEVI < 50% predicted and
chronic bronchitis, particularly if they have
experienced at least one hospitalization for an
exacerbation in the previous year.
•Add a macrolide : The best available evidence exists
for the use of azithromycin.
Consideration to the development of resistant organisms
should be factored into making
•Stopping ICS : Evidence showing no significant harm
from withdrawal supports this recommendation .

Withdrawing ICS abruptly or inappropriately is associated with a significant decrease in
lung function, quality of life and may precipitate an increase in exacerbations and
accelerate lung function decline

•Significant decline in trough FEV1 of 43 ml (p < 0.01)2
•Significant decline in health status (p = 0.047)2
•Numerical increase in exacerbations2

Compared with FLU/SAL Diskus, BUD/FORM Turbuhaler was associated with reduced risk :
of exacerbations by 27 %, here presented as Rate ration and event/100 patient/year; 80/100 vs 109/100
Budesonide/formoterol treated patients had 26.0% fewer oral steroid courses
and 29.0% fewer antibiotic courses
reduced risk of hospitalizations due to COPD by 29%
and 21.0% lower risk for ER visits in the budesonide/formoterol treatment group
