This document discusses gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), also known as gastric torsion, in dogs. It covers the pathophysiology of GDV, clinical signs, diagnosis using radiography, preoperative care including decompression, and surgical correction procedures such as derotating the stomach and gastropexy to prevent future episodes. GDV is a life-threatening condition where the stomach dilates and rotates on its axis, causing shock and gastric necrosis if not promptly treated.

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

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
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.
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.

(Part-II)
• Presented by
• Dr. Rekha Pathak
• Senior scientist , IVRI
The photographs have been collected from
different sources i.e. Internet, text books
etc
2. Gastric acute dilatation and
torsion
• Gastric dilatation-
volvulus (GDV)
• Only dilation common
in puppies
• Overeating/
parasitism
• Larger and giant
breeds – deep
chested
4. • Pathophysiology
• Rotation after dilation
• Aerophagia – source
of intragastric gas
• Distended stomach
(gas + fluid) – more
prone to rotation
• Prevents eructation –
esophagus and
emptying from
duodenum
• Distension increases
5. • Presses the caudal vena/ portal vein –
reduced venous return – red. CO. –
red. Tissue perfusion and shock
• Ischemic bowel – release toxins-
endotoxemia-shock and hypotension
• Red. Ventilation- pressure on
diaphragm
6. • Acid base and electrolyte disturbance
• Myocardial ischemia
• Rotation of stomach – strangulation
of gastric vessels- edema and anoxia
–gastric wall ulceration and necrosis
7. • Clinical signs
• Acute onset of cranial abd. Distention
• Vomiting
• Profuse salivation-pain
• Prolonged CRT, Pallor, weak pulse
• Shock (pooling of blood in spleen due to rotation
of splenic vessels, hypovolemia and
hypotension)
• Dyspnea
8. • RG signs: differentiate simple gastric
distension from GDV
• Gas filled stomach- 50-75% - splenic
position is normal if no volvulus
• In GDV –pylorus is located cranial/dorsal –
fundus
• Position of spleen may not be normal
9. • A tissue density line
dividing the gas filled
stomach into
compartments
• VD - pylorus is near
or near to the left of
the midline
• Gastric perforation-
pneumoperitoneum
• Clockwise 270
• Anticlockwise 90
10. • Preoperative care
• Gastric
decompression
• Needle
trocarization 18 G
needle
• Thrust on rt. Or
left wall – point of
greatest distension
11. • 2-3 needles – relieves
gas component of
distension
• Alternatively – if not
effectively reduced –
stomach
• Pass the s.tube
through mouth gag-
resistance is
encountered in gastro
esophageal junction –
rotate and advance
12. • Removal of
intragastric gas –
trocarization- corrects
the gastro esophageal
angle-allows passage
of S. tube
• Passage of st doesn’t
mean absence of g.
rotation
• Withdraw the tube
after decompression
13. • Sometimes for
decompression –
temporary Gastrotomy is
constructed
• Close the Gastrotomy
wound and proceed for
surgical correction of
rotation (Decompression
doesn’t always result in
normal gastric position)
• Shock therapy
14. • Surgical correction of volvulus
• If surgery is delayed – gastric necrosis worsens
• Reposition the stomach by derotating it
• Avoid injury to splenic v. (digital palpation of
esophagus reveals the direction of rotation
• Pylorus is a good / useful landmark – firm
consistency)
• See the viability of gastric tissue – necrosed
and non-viable – esp. the greater curvature is
damaged
15. • Serosal color,
thickness of wall and
vascular patency
• Partial gastrectomy
• Hemoperitoneum -
centesis of abdominal
cavity- splenic torsion
and gastric torsion
• Blue-black
areas/diffuse
petechial /ecchymotic
stomach- gastrectomy
not indicated –
becomes normal after
decompression
16. • Spleenectomy – damaged
• Gastropexy- red. Rate of
GDV
• Pyloric antral region is
fixed to the adjacent rt.
abdominal wall
• Gastropexy is always
performed on the rt. Side
of the stomach – some
rotation – still occur-
bet.left gastric wall and
left abd.wall
