CANDIDATES FOR HIPPOCAMPAL SPARING 14
Methodology
To evaluate which patients would be higher priority candidates for hippocampal sparing, 3,000 participant treatment plans were evaluated via a cross-sectional differential research method. The method of research used in this study is considered differential and cross-sectional because groups of participants are different ages are compared on a set of variables and because participates of this study were assigned to groups based on preexisting factors.
Patients over the age of 18 and parents of participants under the age of 18 were asked to take part in the research. The aim of research was explained to them and informed consent was obtained by all participants prior to participating in the study. It was explained to participants, or parents of the participants, that data was going to be collected based on the treatment they received and that no additional experimentation with radiation was to be added to their treatment for the benefit of the research study, therefore, there was no additional risk to their treatment plan implemented by this differential research study. The study was subject to external review several credible institutions including the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO).
Participants. Participants of this study were subjects who required WBRT and were evaluated in two categories. The two categories were based on treatment intent and will be separated into preexisting palliative and prophylactic categories. With age thought to be the most influential variable, participants in each category were further categorized into two subcategories based on age. Subjects of this study included subcategory A participates who were required to be 25 years of age and younger and subcategory B participants who were required to be 26 years old age and older based on prior research on brain development studies done by Giedd & Rapoport.
The cumulative sample size for the research study was 2,000 participants. 500 subcategory A and 500 subcategory B participants were included in each intent category. Subject exclusions included patients who were on hospice care, those on a concurrent chemotherapy regimen during their radiation therapy treatment and patients who had a treatment plan change after beginning their initially recommended treatment.

Each cancer center then treated an average of 6 new WBRT patients per month, 2,000 of which agreed to participate in the study. Data was collected from each ph ...
Point of Care Testing (POCT) refers to medical testing that is conducted outside of a laboratory setting, typically near or at the location of a patient. This can include testing in a physician's office, at home, in the field, or in a hospital room. POCT is usually performed using portable, handheld, or small benchtop devices. Here are some main features and advantages of POCT:
Convenience and Speed: Since POCT can be done at or near the patient's location, it eliminates the need to send samples to a lab and wait for the results. This can result in quicker diagnosis and treatment.
Immediate Decision Making: With instant results, healthcare providers can make immediate decisions about a patient's care, leading to improved patient outcomes.
Reduced Costs: While some POCT devices can be expensive, they may reduce overall healthcare costs by shortening hospital stays, reducing the number of follow-up visits, and preventing complications.
Simplicity: Many POCT devices are designed to be user-friendly, allowing non-laboratory personnel or even patients themselves to conduct tests.
Connectivity: Modern POCT devices often come with connectivity options, enabling the integration of test results into electronic health records.
Versatility: There's a wide range of tests available for POCT, from blood glucose testing to rapid strep tests and coagulation tests.
However, it's also important to note some challenges with POCT:
Quality Control: Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of POCT results can be challenging, especially if tests are being conducted by non-laboratory personnel.
Cost: Some advanced POCT devices can be costly, and there may be additional costs associated with training and quality control.
Regulation and Oversight: Because POCT is performed outside of the traditional lab setting, there can be challenges related to oversight, regulation, and ensuring that tests meet necessary standards.
In summary, while POCT offers many advantages in terms of speed and convenience, it's essential to ensure that tests are accurate, reliable, and meet necessary standards.
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) in India play a crucial role in the detection and management of various diseases, including infectious diseases like malaria, dengue, and more recently, COVID-19. Here's an overview of RDTs in India:
Importance in Disease Management: In a vast and diverse country like India, with varied healthcare infrastructure across its regions, RDTs provide a quick and effective way to diagnose diseases, especially in remote areas where sophisticated laboratory setups might not be available.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

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.
