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.

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.

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

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
2. Plastic Frame Materials
The first classification of a frame is by the material used in its construction: either
plastic or metal.
Several types of both are used to make frames.
The first plastics used for spectacle did not perform well in cold weather because
of their brittleness.
Later cellulose nitrate (zylonite) was widely used.
Cellulose nitrate accepts a good polish, but is flammable if brought to a
sufficiently high temperature.
Because of the danger posed, cellulose nitrate has been banned by the FDA and is
no longer used for spectacle frames.
3. Cellulose Acetate
A material used extensively for spectacle frames is cellulose acetate.
The basic cellulose material may be extracted from cotton or wood pulp and then
further processed.
When derived from cotton, these fibers are called cotton linters.
This cotton or wood material is treated with a mixture of anhydride and acetic acid
using sulfuric acid as a catalyst.
Plasticizers and aging stabilizers are then added to this material.
Cellulose acetate does become brittle with age
4. Some allergies are attributed to wearing cellulose acetate frames, though this is
rare.
More often skin problems are not so much allergic reactions to the material itself,
but to those things which can be absorbed by the material.
Higher quality cellulose acetate frames are coated in order to seal the surface.
When left uncoated, cellulose acetate may absorb materials which might be
allergen producing.
A good frame coating will contain a UV inhibitor.* This inhibitor in the coating
keeps frame color from fading.
5. Optyl
Epoxy resin is used for spectacle frames and is known under the trade name of
Optyl.
A liquid resin and a hardener are mixed together and drawn into the frame molds
using a vacuum process.
The material is thermoelastic. This means that it will bend when heated and will
return to its original shape when reheated.
Optyl is approximately 30% lighter than cellulose acetate.
Because of its stability, Optyl is appropriate for those who might be allergic to
other types of frame materials.
6. Nylon and Nylon-Based Materials
Nylon.
Nylon is a material of high flexibility.
When used alone in spectacle frames, nylon will lose that flexibility unless
periodically soaked in water overnight.
Otherwise, over time, it will become brittle. “Pure” nylon was previously used
extensively for sports eyewear.
It has also been used for over-the-counter sunglasses.
It is now being combined with other material for added strength and stability,
remaining a part of the array of frame materials in use.
7. Polyamide/Copolyamide.
Polyamide is a nylon based material that is quite strong.
Because it can be made thinner and is only 72% of the weight of cellulose acetate,
polyamide has a real weight advantage.
Polyamide frames can be made opaque or translucent.
Frames made from polyamide are resistant to chemicals and solvents, and are also
hypoallergenic.
8. Carbon Fiber
Carbon fiber material is used to create a thin, strong frame.
This material is made from strands of carbon fibers combined with nylon. It is not
adjustable and is consequently used mainly for frame fronts.
The temples are generally made from another material.
The principle advantage is the light weight that can be achieved.
Carbon fiber is 60% the weight of cellulose acetate.
Not only is the material light weight, but because of its strength, it can also be
made thinner.
Since carbon is black, frame colors will be opaque and are limited.
9. Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a material usually associated with lenses, but can be molded into
frames.
Frames made from polycarbonate are primarily for sport or safety purposes.
When made for nonprescription purposes, the lenses and frame are molded as one
unit.
Frames (and lenses) made from polycarbonate are very impact resistant.
They are better suited for the type of sports glasses that are held in place with
elastic straps or for shield types of glasses that may be used either alone or worn
over conventional glasses
10. Rubber
Some sports eyewear and sunglass frames may be made from a combination of
nylon and rubber.
As would be expected, these frames are flexible and will return to their original
shape, but are not adjustable
11. Metal Frame Materials
In the past, gold-containing alloys were the more predominant metals used for
spectacle frames.
Great progress has been made in metal frames because of the electrolytic
treatment techniques, which allow for corrosion resistance and finished beauty.
It is also common for frames to be made with more than one material.
The temples may be from one material for flexibility, the frame front from another,
and the connecting pieces something different still.
12. Aluminum
Aluminum is both strong and extremely lightweight.
It can be finished in a wide variety of colors and does not corrode.
Aluminum does not solder or weld well, so must be made such that its parts are
assembled with screws or rivets.
It holds the adjustment well, but has no flexibility.
If it bends, it stays that way.
13. Stainless Steel
It is made mainly from iron and chrome and is highly resistant to corrosion.
Stainless steel is strong.
When made very thin, it has an element of springiness and flexibility that makes it
well suited for temples.
Adjustments are difficult and often do not hold.
Stainless steel is one of the more nonallergenic materials.
14. Titanium
Titanium is a versatile and abundant material that has become increasingly
common for use in ophthalmic frames.
The advantages include the following:
1. Titanium is extremely light in weight. When compared with conventional metal
frame materials, titanium is 48% lighter.
2. Titanium is very strong, which allows titanium frames to be designed
exceedingly thin. Thinness also contributes to still more weight reduction.
15. 3. Titanium is very corrosion resistant. This makes titanium an excellent choice for
people in hot climates or those working in conditions where they would be
perspiring a great deal.
4. Titanium is hypoallergenic. It should be noted that titanium is often used in
combination with other metals.
16. Bronze
Bronze is a metal alloy traditionally made from copper and tin.
It is suited for spectacle frames because it is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and
takes color well
