This document discusses tetanus, the causative bacterium Clostridium tetani, symptoms of tetanus, and the use and production of tetanus antitoxin. Specifically, it notes that tetanus is caused by C. tetani bacteria entering wounds and releasing a neurotoxin. Tetanus antitoxin is a solution of proteins from immunized horse blood that neutralizes the tetanus toxin to prevent or treat symptoms like muscle spasms. The document outlines the process for determining the potency of tetanus antitoxin compared to a standard preparation through mouse experiments.

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!

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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. Tetanus is a bacterial
disease marked by
rigidity and spasms of
the voluntary muscles
Also known as
“Lockjaw”
3. Tetanus is cased by the Clostrium tetani
bacterium.
Clostrium tetani spores are able to survive for a
long period of time outside the body. They are
most commonly found in animal manure and
contaminated soil, but may exists virually
anywhere.
When Clostridium tetani enter the body, they
multiply repidly and release tetonospasmin, a
neurotoxin. When tetanospasmin enters he
bloodstream, it rapidly spreads around the body,
causing tetanus symptoms.
Clostridium tetani enters the body mainly through
skin cut or puncture wounds. Thoroughly
cleaning any cuts helps prevent an infection from
developing.
4. Stiffness in neck and other muscle
Difficulty in swallowing
Irritability
Spasms in jaw and neck muscle
High blood pressure
A fast heart rate
5. Tetanus antitoxin is a sterile,
non pyrogenic solution of
refined and concentrated
proteins chiefly globulin
containing antitoxin
antibodies obtained from
the blood plasma of horse
that have been immunized
against tetanus toxin.
6. It has a potency of not less than 400 Antitoxin units
per ml based on the US standard tetanus antitoxin
and US control tetanus test toxin is tested in guinea
pig.
Tetanus antitoxin neutralizes the toxin produced by
Clostridium tetani.
7. PRINCIPLE
The potency of tetanus antitoxin is determined
by comparing the dose necessary to protect the
mice against the paralytic effects with that of
the standard anti toxin preparation.
8. STANDARD PREPARATION
1. 2nd INTERNATIONAL STD. For Tetanus antitoxin
established in 1969 consisting freeze dried horse serum.
2. 1 ampoule= 1400 units
ANIMAL MODEL
Mice weighing between 17-22gm
9. Extract C. Tetani from 8-10 culture
1 volume toxin+ 2 volume glycerine. Saturate the
filtrate with ammonium sulphate.
Collect the ppt and dry over phosphorus Pentoxide
Dried powder preserve in ampoules 0oC
over phosphorus pentaoxide.
10. Determination of lp/10 dose
Lp/10 dose: the smallest quantity of toxin which when mixed
with 0.1 unit of standard antitoxin preparation injected
subcutaneously in mice, causes tetanic paralysis within 4 days.
The test (lp/10) dose of toxin is the amount present in 0.5 ml of
toxin efficient to cause titanic paralysis in all 6 mice injected
with it within 4 days.
All the 6 animal in the group should get paralyzed.
11. STANDARD ANTITOXIN
