Dr. Darpan Nepali presented on the gastrointestinal system, specifically on the causes, diagnosis, and management of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The presentation reviewed the major causes of upper GI bleeding including esophageal and gastric sources. Initial management focuses on resuscitation, risk stratification using scoring systems, and urgent endoscopy. Endoscopic findings and scoring systems can help determine need for hemostatic therapy and predict rebleeding risk. Management differs for variceal versus non-variceal bleeding sources.
Approach to Management of Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) BleedingArun Vasireddy
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is gastrointestinal bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, commonly defined as bleeding arising from the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. Blood may be observed in vomit (hematemesis) or in altered form in the stool (melena). Depending on the severity of the blood loss, there may be symptoms of insufficient circulating blood volume and shock. As a result, upper gastrointestinal bleeding is considered a medical emergency and typically requires hospital care for urgent diagnosis and treatment. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding can be caused by peptic ulcers, gastric erosions, esophageal varices, and some rarer causes such as gastric cancer.
The initial assessment includes measurement of the blood pressure and heart rate, as well as blood tests to determine hemoglobin concentration. In significant bleeding, fluid replacement is often required, as well as blood transfusion, before the source of bleeding can be determined by endoscopy of the upper digestive tract with an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Depending on the source, endoscopic therapy can be applied to reduce rebleeding risk. Specific medical treatments (such as proton pump inhibitors for peptic ulcer disease) or procedures (such as TIPS for variceal hemorrhage) may be used. Recurrent or refractory bleeding may lead to need for surgery, although this has become uncommon as a result of improved endoscopic and medical treatment.

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!

Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
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

- pulse rate rises 25% or more
- systolic BP falls 20mmHg or more
23. CONT…
Sign of liver diseases or portal hypertension
Sign of GI diseases
Sign of bleeding abnormalities
Bloody / black stool on per rectal examination
25. MANAGEMENT
1. Stabilize the patient : protect airway, restore circulation.
2. Identify the source of bleeding
3. Definitive treatment of the cause
Priorities are:
26. RESUSCITATION AND INITIAL
MANAGEMENT
Protect airway:position the patient on side
IV access: use 1-2 wide bore cannula
Take blood for : Hb, PCV ,PT and cross match
Restore the circulation : if pt is haemodynamically stable give
N.S infusion , if not give colloid 500ml/hr and then crystalloid
and continue until blood is available.
27. Monitor urine output
Watch for sign of fluid overload(raised JVP, pulmonary
edema, peripheral edema)
Commence IV PPI, omeprazole 80mg IV followed by 8mg/hr
for 72hours
Keep the patient nill by mouth for the endoscopy.
28. Transfuse blood for
Obvious massive blood loss
Hematocrit < 25% with active bleeding
Symptoms due to low hematocrit and haemoglobin
Platelet transfudion should be offered to patients who are
actively bleeding and have a platelet count <50000
29. Cont…
Fresh frozen plasma should be used for patients who have
either a fibrinogen level <1 g/l or INR > 1.5 times normal.
30. Utility of NG Tube
Most useful situation :pt with severe haematochezia and
unsure if UGIB vs LGIB
- positive aspirate ( blood/ coffee ground )indicates
UGIB
- prevent aspiration
Can provide prognostic info:
-red blood per NGT: predictive of high risk endoscopic
lesion
- coffee ground : less severe / inactive bleeding
33. Blood Tests
Haemoglobin: may be normal during acute stages
until haemodilution occurs.
Urea and electrolytes : elevated urea suggests severe
bleeding
Cross matching
Liver function test and coagulation profile.
34. Cont…
The BUN-to- Creatinine ratio increases with UGIB. A ratio >36
in a patient without renal insufficiency is suggestive of UGIB
Prothrombin time(PT), activate partial thromboplastin time
and International Normalized Ratio(INR) should be checked .
35. ENDOSCOPY
Initial diagnostic examination for all patients
presumed to have UGIB.
Endoscopy should be performed immediately after
endotracheal intubation(if indicated), hemodynamic
stabilization, and adequate monitoring in an ICU.
37. BLEED CRITERIA
B : ongoing bleeding
L : low systolic BP
E : elevated PT
E : erratic mental status
D: disease i.e unstable medical comorbidity
38. Simple scoring systems
Albumin <3.0
INR>1.5
Mental status altered
Systolic BP<90
65+years old
Mortality, length of stay
AIMS65
BUN < 18mg/dl
Hg >13/12 g%
SBP>100mmHg
HR<100bpm
Low risk patient
FAST TRACK BLATCHFORD
40. RISK CATEGORY
Rockall score >8 means high risk of death.
Rockall score <3 means excellent prognosis
41. BLATCHFORD SCORE
Predicts need for endoscopic therapy
Based on readily available clinical and lab data
Most useful for safely discriminating low risk UGIB
patients who will likely Not require endoscopic hemostasis.
42.
43. Pre- endoscopic Pharmacotherapy
For Non- Variceal UGIB
-IV PPI:80mg bolus then 8mg/hr drip
-rationale: suppress acid, facilitates clot formation and
stabilization
-Duration: atleast until endoscopy, then based on findings
44. ENDOSCOPY –NONVARICEAL UGIB
Early endoscopy (within 24hrs) is recommended for most
patients with acute UGIB.
Achieves prompt diagnosis, provides risk stratification and
hemostasis therapy in high- risk patients,
45. Endoscopic Hemostasis Therapy
Epinephrine injection
Thermal
electrocogulation
Mechanical
(hemoclips)
Combination therapy
superior to
monotherapy
46. Nonvariceal UGIB- POST-
endoscopy management
Patients with low risk ulcers can be fed promptly , put on oral
PPI therapy.
Patients with ulcers requiring endoscopic therapy should
receivePPI ggt for 72hour.
*significantly reduces 30 day re-bleeding rate vs placebo(67%
vs. 22.5%)
N Engl J med 2000;343;3010
Arch intern Med 2010
47. VARICEAL BLEEDING
Occurs in 1/3 of patients with cirrhosis
1/3 initial bleeding episodes are fatal
Among survivors, 1/3 will rebled within 6 weeks
Only 1/3 will survive
1 year or more
49. Vasoconstrictor therapy
Goal :reduces splanchnic blood flow
Terlipressin –only agent shown to improve control of bleeding
and survival
Octreotide (somatostatin analog)
- standard dose: 50mcg bolus, then 50mcg/hr drip for 2-5
days.
50. Antibiotics
Prophylactic antibiotics reduces incidence of bacterial
infection, significantly reduces early rebleeding
- ceftriaxone 1g IV Qd for 5-7 days
- Alt : Norfloxacin 400 mg BD
51. Resuscitaion
Promptly but with caution
Goal : maintain haemodynamic stability , Hbg 7-8g% , CVP
4-8mmHg
Avoid excessively rapid expansion of volume, may
increase portal pressure, greater bleeding
60. INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY
Persistent hypotension
Failure of medical management or endoscopic hemostasis
Co-existing condition( perforation, obstruction,
malignancy)
Transfusion requirement (4units in 24hrs)
Recurrent hospitalization
61. TAKE HOME MESSAGE
Early resuscitation
Nasogastric lavage
High dose PPI therapy
Urgent endoscopy therapy for moderate to severe UGI
bleeding.
Nonvariceal bleed should be treated with combination
therapy
Patient should be treated for specific cause/ disease.
