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

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
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

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.

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!

“Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks.” (wikipedia quote)
Please introduce yourselves and say who you are and where you work, what your research interests are, and what you hope to gain from this session
Physician image: http://tinyurl.com/muu3j5l
Can you please tell me what kind of research you do or what your specialty is. And I’d also like to hear what your favorite social media are in your academic life. I’m not an expert on all social media so I’m hoping that you can share with us your expertise throughout this workshop.
Social media provide learning and collaboration opportunities to busy clinicians, medical educators, residents and medical students.
Social media data can be Text, audio (podcasts), visual (Pinterest, mindmaps, photos), video, or actions (follows, likes, shares, retweets, links…)
Question: How often do you use social media? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Seldom or never?
Question: What is your favorite social media tool? (a blog, facebook, twitter, youtube, etc.)
Connect with other researchers and educators around the world, discover the latest research in your area(s), collaborate with others on your research projects, Promote your research work beyond the academic world, Engage and seek feedback (peer-review) from researchers, the public, etc., Share your research in creative ways to inspire more interest and perhaps win more grants
You can build a scholarly network (or several) quickly and dynamically, Social media helps you stay up to date in real time with your field, share your resources, Reach those the research was intended to help, Create debate & influence academic peers, Spark public interest & raise the profile of research, Increase the changes of securing research funding, Open the door to potential collaborators
Think about your goals for using social media: do be respected in the academic community? To make a contribution to global knowledge? To be known for your credibility and reputation, to develop your career, and to collaborate with the best? Others?

Today, there’s a shift away from Facebook to Instagram, twitter, WhatsApp and snapchat.
To use any of these tools you need to make a profile.
There are social media tools for interacting & communicating with people, for sharing resources, and for networking.
Visitors and residents is a simple way of describing a wide range, or continuum of, modes of online engagement. It has proved to be a useful way to come to an understanding of individuals’ motivations when they use the web in differing contexts.
We are not proposing that one mode of engagement is better than the other, simply that different modes are employed depending on the individual’s motivation and context at the time.
In visitor mode individuals do not leave any social trace online. (e.g. google search)
When in resident mode the individual is going online to connect to, or to be with, other people. This mode is about social presence. "Residents, on the other hand, see the Web as a place, perhaps like a park or a building in which there are clusters of friends and colleagues whom they can approach and with whom they can share information about their life and work. A proportion of their lives is actually lived out online where the distinction between online and offline is increasingly blurred." White and Le Cornu (2011) (posting on FB or posting comments on blogs, tweeting, etc.)
The functionality of a tool doesn’t predict its mode of use. i.e. some tools are used very differently by different users

Activity: Look at your colleagues profiles on various social media sites. What would make them better? What do you like about their profiles? Then, search your name or ‘handle’ on the Internet and see what you find? Where are you mentioned? Etc.
Profiles are universal on all social media platforms. Profiles on website, blog and social media (uptodate online presence)

Remember, once you’ve joined various social media, you need to actually tell people that you’re there on your business cards, your ppt presentations, on your name badges at conferences and in your email signature
Social media and Research
-promotes open access and sharing
-Interact with other academics and clinicians
-identify research partners and establish relationships
-peer review and feedback
-collaborate on projects
-raise your own profile, communicate your expertise, promote publications, increase visibility and impact
-Keep informed of research developments
-at conferences, engage with other participants, provide feedback
-Analyse events/social processes as they happen
-crowdsourcing or ‘citizen science’ (help to gather or analyse data)
With 225 million users issuing half a billion tweets per day, twitter represents the richest dataset to hit academia, a virtual Petri dish of real-time data.
But make sure not to generalise the results when researching twitter to a broader community
-Document the spread of diseases. In 2013, Adam Sadilek at the University of Rochester in New York and his colleagues used Twitter to follow the spread of flu virus in New York City. They used machine learning algorithms to search 4.4 million tweets for signs that people were feeling unwell. The system could differentiate between actual and metaphorical sickness, so “I’m sick of this traffic”, for example, wouldn’t register as illness. Combining this with GPS data, the team was able to see how the flu was travelling and predict when twitter users would fall ill. It could, perhaps, one day be used to warn people when they’re about to enter an area with a high infection rate. AND, researchers from the Univ of Virginia are using information from twitter and other social media to track adverse track reactions. It may lead, in the future, for physicians and pharmaceutical companies to monitor reactions to drugs in real-time.
To find information relevant to your research interests – use hashtags, recruit potential collaborators
Scoop.it! is a web-based platform for collecting and curating content around themes. It also allows 'curators' to comment on the materials they collect and share the additions to their collections through a wide range of other social media platforms (including Twitter). This gives it a form of micro-blogging capability, especially as visitors to the site can also interact around the curated content and build conversations about it.
Are any of you already using social media in your research or for your research? Please tell us about your experiences.
Bloom’s taxonomy: remember, understand, apply, analyse, evaluate and create (or knows, knows how, shows, and does)
Flipped classroom – students watch videos of lectures and reads recommended readings and listens to podcasts before the class then in class focus on applications by interacting with each other
Does it work? The literature shows that enthusiasm is increased in flipped classrooms compared to traditional classrooms, test scores go up
How do you use it? Use ppt or keynote to make presentations ahead of time, perhaps embedding videos in them, make a podcast of a lecture, etc. and post on Medicol
You might want to create a list using a hashtag # on a particular topic that students can follow for class annoucements, contributions, network and listen
Blogs – have students reflect their experiences on the ward and share with classmates, they can share knowledge here, build community and reflect on experiences, etc.
Make sure you monitor whatever social media you assign to your class
Participatory and social media enable new forms of communication and collaboration that allow us to share and discuss teaching and research ideas in new ways. Communities in these spaces are complex and distributed.
We need to rethink how we design, support and assess learning.
We are seeing a blurring of boundaries: teachers/learners, teaching/research, real/virtual spaces, formal/informal modes of communication…
Changes the dynamic of education from ‘Sage on the stage’ to ‘guide by the side’
Social media is perfect for constructivist learning. Passive spoon feeding of information is not the 21st century way to learn. Sage on the stage vs guide on the side.
Informal social learning networks, communities, collectives,
Learning should be accessible, anytime, anywhere, any place
Learning is social discourse, collaboration & knowledge-sharing
Twitter – to disseminate information
Blogs – venue for sharing and receiving information, may also be reflective
Wikis - to collaborate on text and documents
RSS – helps bring information in

The Instagram timeline of the US CDC
Instagram is an online mobile photo and video sharing and networking service that lets you post and share photos and videos with text captions and hashtags on their timeline. Instagram Direct lets users send private messages to single contacts or groups
The app has great potential to serve as a social networking platform in visually rich disciplines such as clinically dermatology, clinical infectious diseases and radiology because of its strong photo and video sharing affordances. Photo-sharing apps such as Instagram are also being used for information exchange about public health crisis such as Zika virus and Ebola. WHO and the US CDC use Instagram to disseminate visually rich public health messages that both educate and interest the general public, and for risk communication during public health crises and man-made or natural disasters.
WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. WhatsApp Messenger is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia and yes, those phones can all message each other! Because WhatsApp Messenger uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing, there is no cost to message and stay in touch with your friends.
In addition to basic messaging WhatsApp users can create groups, send each other unlimited images, video and audio media messages. The service has recently implemented end to end encryption to protect user privacy, making it suited to clinical applications. But it remains the poster’s (doctor’s) full responsibility to protect their patients’ privacy and confidentiality and also observe any applicable content copyright.
There are over thirty articles on the positive outcomes of using WhatsApp in telemedicine cases.
A 2016 article by Gould et al in BMJ Innovations 2016 WhatsApp group-chat dynamic enables journal doctors to contact and learn from senior doctors more easily when they may not previously have felt able to phone them directly.

While this is the most popular tool that allows people to upload and share their research papers (>35 million academics as users have uploaded 8 million texts as of 2016 (Shawna Wagma, April 12, 2016 “Some academics remain skeptical of Academia.edu because it’s not owned by an education institute (despite the .edu URL) but by a private company that may be using this information for unknown purposes. Others say that disagree and say that the benefits outweigh the risks because research shows that uploading a paper to Academia.edu generates significantly more citaiton than uploading to a personal homepage.
