The structure of the human brain is extremely complex. It is made up of billions of neurons that are linked together by trillions of connections. Each part of the brain performs a certain set of functions. Damage to a specific area of the brain causes distinct clinical symptoms. Knowledge of neuroanatomy, functioning of different sections of the brain, and clinical manifestations caused by injury to a part of the brain are critical in locating a neurological lesion. The complexity of this knowledge frequently presents a problem to health practitioners. This activity emphasizes the significance of the physical examination in the localization of a neurological lesion. It is intended to provide a concise and easy-to-review summary of the subject.

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!

Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
3. It is defined as the sudden onset of
neurological deficits due to an
abnormality in cerebral circulation with
the signs and symptoms lasting for more
than 24 hours or longer
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
4. It is defined as the sudden onset of
neurological deficits due to an
abnormality in cerebral circulation with
the signs and symptoms lasting for less
than 24 hours
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
5. Third leading cause of death
The incidence of stroke is about 1.25
times greater for males than females

Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
9. Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or
leg, on one side of body
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or
understanding
Sudden blurring of vision
Sudden onset of dizziness, loss of balance or
coordination
Sudden, severe headaches with no known cause
Other important but less common stroke symptoms
include:
• Sudden nausea, fever, & vomiting distinguished from a viral
illness by speed of onset (minutes or hours vs several days)
• Brief loss of consciousness or a period of decreased
consciousness (fainting, confusion, convulsions, or coma)
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
10. Ischemia results in irreversible cellular
damage with a core area of focal
infarction within minutes
• Transitional area surrounding core is termed
ischemic penumbra & consists of viable but
metabolically lethargic cells
Ischemia produce cerebral edema, that
begins within minutes of insult &
reaches a maximum by 3 to 4 days.
Swelling gradually subsides & generally
disappears by 2 to 3 weeks
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
11. Oedema elevates ICP, leading to
intracranial HT & neurological
deterioration associated with

of 3 - 6 months with minimal neurological
deficit
• Severe stroke: there is no complete recovery
of the symptoms even after 1 years. Always
ends up with severe neurological deficit
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
15. Depending on the duration
• Acute stroke: to a period of one week or until
spasticity develops

• ACA Syndrome
• PCA syndrome
• Vertebro basilar artery syndrome
Vertebral artery
Basilar artery
Internal carotid artery
• Lacunar syndrome
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
17. • Stage 1: recovery occurs in a stereotyped
sequence of events that begins with a period of
flaccidity immediately following acute episode.
No movement of limbs can be elicited
• Stage 2: basic limb synergies or some of their
components may appear as associated reactions.
Minimal voluntary movement may be present.
Spasticity begins to develop
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
18. • Stage 3: Gains voluntary control of movement
synergy although full range is not developed.
Spasticity has further increased
• Stage 4: some movement combination that do not
follow the synergy are mastered first with
difficulty & later with more ease. Spasticity
begins to decline
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
19. • Stage 5: more difficult movement are learnt as
the basic limb synergy lose their dominance
over motor roots. Spasticity further declines
• Stage 6: disappearance of spasticity, individual
joint movement become possible & coordination
approaches normal. Normal motor function is
restored
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
20. Contralateral hemiplegia (UL & face more
affected than LL)
Contralateral hemisensory loss (UL & face
more affected than LL)

lead to bradykinesia or involuntary movements
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
37. 8. Altered motor programing
• Motor praxis is ability to plan & execute
coordinated movement
• Lesions of premotor frontal cortex of either
hemisphere, left inferior parietal lobe, & corpus
callosum can produce apraxia.
• Apraxia is more evident with left hemisphere
damage than right and is commonly seen with
aphasia.
Ideational apraxia
Ideomotor apraxia
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
38. 9. Postural Control & Balance

stability
• Problems may exist when reacting to a
destabilizing external force (reactive postural
control) or during self-initiated movements
(anticipatory postural control).
• Pusher syndrome: characterized by active pushing
with stronger extremities toward affected
side, leading to lateral postural imbalance
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)

development of cerebral edema (within 3 days)
& cerebral infarction (within 3 to 5 days) by
showing areas of decreased density.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
52. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
