2 Dear Colleagues, Invitation We cordially invite you to participate in the 3 rd Biochemistry Dr B. Naganna oration and CME program on Platelets: bench to bedside, being organized by the Dept of Biochemistry, Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences, Tirupati. The CME includes award of Biochemistry chair oration to Dr. Debabrata Dash, Professor Department of Biochemistry, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi for his contribution to the field of Medical Biochemistry. CME aims to focus on platelets right from their basic role in physiological, biochemical and pathological processes to their role in clinical practice as therapeutic agents/ targets of therapeutic agents. The CME will thus cover the broad areas relevant to these small specialized blood cells which have emerged as important markers of disease pathophysiology. The participants for the CME will be registered on payment of a registration fees of Rs500/-. Delegates will be provided with delegate kit along with the resource material. Andhra Pradesh Medical Council has awarded 2 credit hours for the CME Dr. T. S. Ravikumar Director Cum Vice-Chancellor Dr. P.V.L.N. Srinivasa Rao Dean & Organizing Chairperson Dr. Aparna R. Bitla Organizing Secretary

3 THEME OF THE CME Platelets: bench to bed-side Platelets are specialized blood cells. While the initial concept was that these cells play a role in physiologic and pathologic processes of hemostasis (primary and secondary); the current understanding has shown them to be involved in many other areas including Inflammation, Tumour metastasis, Wound healing, Host defense(innate and adaptive immune response) etc Platelet function is modulated through important stimulatory and inhibitory signaling pathways. Tests to assess platelet function include simple tests such as platelet count, mean platelet volume etc or advanced assays to assess platelet aggregation, platelet activated clotting test, measurement of clot strength etc. Platelets are important markers of disease. Low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) and several platelet function disorders associated with increased risk of bleeding is seen in Aplastic anaemia Lymphomas Leukemias Viral infections etc While platelet activation and elevated platelet counts (thrombocytosis) are associated with increased risk of thrombotic complications as seen in Acute coronary syndrome, Ischaemic stroke Intermittent claudication Venous thromboembolism etc. Treatment for platelet disorders includes platelet transfusion for thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction or anti-platelet agents for prevention or therapy of arterial thrombosis. With this background the current CME aims to provide an update on the knowledge base of platelets right from their basic role in physiological, biochemical and pathological processes to their role in clinical practice as therapeutic agents/ targets of therapeutic agents.
