The document discusses sports nutrition, covering topics like energy systems in the body, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, hydration and electrolytes, and dietary guidelines for athletes. It explains that sports nutrition involves studying how diet relates to athletic performance and addresses fluid and nutrient needs based on the type and intensity of exercise. Carbohydrates are emphasized as the primary fuel source that needs to be replenished through diet.
Sports nutrition is the study and practice of nutrition and diet as it relates to athletic performance. It is a science that provides and maintains food necessary for health, growth and physical performance.
Researchers suggests that athletes can benefit from nutrition education – increasing KAP i.e. knowledge, Attitude and practices (Abood et al, 2006).

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.

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.

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. Sports NutritionSports Nutrition
Sports nutrition is the study and practice of nutrition
and diet as it relates to athletic performance.
It is concerned with the type and quantity of fluid
and food taken by an athlete, and deals with
nutrition such as vitamins, minerals, supplements
and organic substances such as carbohydrates,
proteins and fats.
Although an important part of many sports training
regimens, it is most commonly considered in
strength sports (such as weight lifting and
bodybuilding) and endurance sports (for example
cycling, running, swimming).
3. ENERGY SYSTEMS
The human body must continuously be supplied
with energy to perform its many complex
functions.
Two metabolic systems energy for the body –
one dependent on oxygen and the other able to
function without oxygen.
Both of these systems provide energy, however,
the use of one system over the other depends on
the duration, intensity and type of physical
activity.
4. ANAEROBIC ENERGY SYSTM
There are to energy system in the body
phosphagen system and lactic acid system hat
can operator in the absence of the oxygen.
These system are capable of producing ATP
energy at a high rate.
They are utilized when the rate of energy
production demanded of the exercise exceeds
that of the aerobic system alone.
The main limitation of this system is the relatively
small amount of ATP that can be made before
fatigue ensues.
5. Aerobic Energy System
The aerobic system supplies all of the energy for low
to moderate intensity exercise.
It supplies energy for sleeping, resting, sitting, walking
and other firms of low intensity physical activity.
As the activity becomes more intense, to the point that
it can only be sustained for a matter of a few minutes,
the aerobic system can no longer provide energy at a
sufficient rate.
At this stage, ATP production is supplemented by the
lactic acid and phosphagen system. Exercise that
relies heavily on oxygen for the provision of energy is
called an aerobic exercise.
6. Energy
Energy requirement of sportsperson and athletes
vary widely depending upon the intensity of the
activity involved.
For the purpose of defining energy requirements,
sports and athletic events are divided into two
broad categories like power and non-power
events, with additional categories representing
activities of different intensities.
7. The energy requirements under power categories
(throwers, sprinters, jumpers, boxing, wrestling,
weight lifting) range from 3500-6000 kcal/day,
while those under nonpower (other athletics,
hockey, volleyball, swimmers) and other skilled
category (archery, Yatching) range from 3500-
4500 kcal/day.
It is important that the daily energy intake is
contributed by carbohydrates, fats and protein.
Percentage energy from these three sources
should be 50-55%, 30 and 15-20% respectively.
8. Carbohydrate
on comparing the average work time on
consumption of mixed diet, high fat/ protein diet
and high carbohydrate diet, the longest work time
was observed with a high carbohydrate diet.
Since the RDA for carbohydrate is 50-55% of
total calories, and many carbohydrate, and many
carbohydrate rich foods are fiber-rich food-which
means lots of chewing and higher satiety due to
the bulking capacity of dietary fiber.
9. However, for athletes with very high energy
requirements of over 3000-5000 kcal a day,
consuming and byproducts are concentrated
carbohydrate foods i.e.,
refined starchy foods, nuts and oilseeds. Milk and
byproducts are advised. Still, a nutrient rich diet
remains central for adequacy sake, while vital,
energy alone is nit enough to support
performance.
10. CARBOHYDRATES
COMPLEX
(contain other
useful nutrients)
Preferred option for carb
intake due to being an
efficient energy source,
readily used.
Stores depleted quickly so
need to be replaced
frequently
SIMPLE
Carbohydrates
stored as
GLYCOGEN in
the muscles and
liver.
Muscles cannot
perform without it.
Therefore need to
be replenished
11. Protein
According to the RDA, a normal person is required
to consume 0.8 g to 1.0 g protein/kg body weight.
Protein intake equal to 15-20 % of total calorie will
meet the protein requirements of most athletes.
ICMR, 1985, recommends 12-14 % of total energy
requirements and upper limit could be placed at 2
g/kg body weight. Consuming more protein than 2.0
g/kg body weight results in increased protein
oxidation, urea formation, diuresis and can increase
risk for dehydration.
12. Vitamins and minerals
Owing to increased energy requirements and
exercise-induced production of free radicals, higher
amounts of B- vitamins with anti- oxidant properties
are required for athletes.
The B-vitamin requirement is 1mg/1000 kcal for
thiamin and riboflavin and10-20mg/1000 kcal for
niacin. Intake of retinol may be placed at 1000-2000
micrograms per day.
Vitamin E, which is an antioxidant should be taken at
the level of 10-20 IU.
Vitamin C, which is also essential for iron absorption,
its intake should be 100-200mg/day.
13. Specially for the female athletes between 13 and
19 year of age. Female athletes, who train
heavily, have a high incidence of amenorrhea
and thus conserve iron stores.
In any case, iron intake should not be less than
50-75 mg for sports men and 60-100 g for sports
women.
14. Vitamin and Minerals
Vitamin
(a) Intake to keep enzymes saturated with adequate
tissue store.
(b) Different additional supplement of certain antioxidant
vitamins and to guard against any dietary
inadequacy.
Minerals
(a) Electrolytes are important-supplements given during
sports events.
(b) Iron : Additional iron supplements to prevent sports
anemia ; Haem iron supplement would be better.
(c) trace minerals : Zn, Cu, Se important. Selenium is
an antioxidant.

16. Water and Electrolytes
Water probably has a greater effect on athletic
performance than any other nutrient. Most people
obtain around two thirds of their water intake from
drinking fluids and between 20-40 % from solid foods.
Athletes, on the other hand, must obtain as 90 % of
their water intake by drinking water.
The two group of athletes most vulnerable to
dehydration are marathon runners and wrestlers.
Dehydration is serious problem for athletes.
17. It is important to understand nutritionally related
factors that cause fatigue & reduced
performance.
These being : - depletion of muscle stores
& dehydration
18. Hydration and Performance
• Dehydration leads
to:
• Increased body
temperature
• Elevated heart rate
