The 5 R's of radiobiology are repair, reoxygenation, redistribution, repopulation, and radiosensitivity. They explain why radiotherapy is fractionated into multiple smaller doses. Repair allows cells to recover from sublethal damage between fractions. Repopulation and redistribution impact how radiation sensitivity changes over time. Reoxygenation improves oxygenation of hypoxic tumor cells between fractions. Together these concepts maximize cancer cell killing while minimizing damage to normal tissues.

Particle beam – proton,neutron & heavy ion therapyAswathi c p
particle therapy is advanced external beam therapy used to treat cancer , which uses beams of protons or other charged particles such as helium, carbon or other ions instead of photons. charged particles have different depth-dose distributions compared to photons. They deposit most of their energy in the last final millimeters of their trajectory (when their speed slows). This results in a sharp and localized peak of dose, known as the Bragg peak.
Conventional radiotherapy treatments are delivered with radiation beams that are of uniform intensity across the field (within the flatness specification limits). Wedges or compensators are used to modify the intensity profile to offset contour in irregularities and produce more uniform composite dose distributions such as in techniques using wedges. This process of changing beam intensity profile to meet the goals of a composite plan is called intensity modulation
IMRT refers to a radiation therapy technique in which nonuniform fluence is delivered to the patient from any given position of the treatment beam to optimize the composite dose distribution. The optimal fluence profiles for a given set of beam directions are determined through inverse planning. The fluence files thus generated are electronically transmitted to the linear accelerator, which is computer controlled, to deliver intensity modulated beams (IMBs) as calculated.

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.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
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
8. Lethal damage:
• irreversible and irreparable
damage that leads to cell
death.
Eg.
• Dicentric chromosome
• Ring chromosome
• Anaphase bridge
8
9. Potentially lethal damage:
• Causes cell death under ordinary circumstances but can be
modified by postirradiation environmental conditions.
• If cells are prevented from dividing by creating suboptimal
growth conditions for 6 hrs after irradiation, the damage can
repair.
• Invitro: by keeping cells in saline or plateau phase
9
10. Sublethal damage:
• Repairable in hours under ordinary circumstances unless
additional sublethal damage is added.
• Repair of sublethal damage reflects the repair of DNA
breaks before they can interact to form lethal chromosomal
abberations
10
11. Repair
• Base Excision Repair
• Nucleotide Excision Repair
• DNA DSB Repair:
– Homologous Recombination Repair
– Nonhomologous End Joining
11
15. Nonhomologous End Joining
• Occurs in G1 phase of
cell cycle
• Fast but error prone and
thus potentially
mutagenic
15
16. • By splitting radiation into small parts, cells are allowed
to repair the sublethal damage
• Damage repair depends upon the ability of cells to
recognise the damage and activate the repair pathways
and cell cycle arrest
• Malignant cells often have suppressed these pathways
• Normal tissues are able to repair by the time next
fraction is given
16
18. • Cells may be in different phases of cell cycle during irradiation( S-
phase being radioresistant and M-phase being most
radiosensitive).
• Resistance and sensitivity depends upon the level of sulfhydryl
compounds(radioprotector) in the cell.
• A small dose of radiation given over a short period will kill a lot of
sensitive cells and less of resistant cells.
• Surviving cells continue the cycle and may reach sensitive phase
when second dose of radiation is given
18
21. • Repopulation is the process of increase in cell
division seen in normal and malignant cells
after irradiation.
21
22. Repopulation in normal tissues
• The time to onset of repopulation after irradiation and the rate at
which it proceeds vary with the tissue.
• Acute-responding tissues(stem cells, progenitor cells, GI epithelium,
oropharyngeal mucosa,skin) begin repopulation early.
• Late-responding tissues(Renal tubular epithelium, oligodendrocytes,
schwann cells, endothelium, fibroblasts) begin repopulation after
completion of conventional course of radiation.
22
23. Repopulation of malignant tissues
• The mechanism applies to malignant tissues as well.
• Some tumours exhibit accelerated repopulation, a marked increase
in their growth fraction and doubling time and decrease in cell cycle
time, at 4 wks. Eg. SCC of head and neck, cervix.
• It is a dangerous phenomenon that is countered if treatment time
extends over 5 wks.
• It is mediated through radiation-induced receptor activation and
cellular growth stimulation that occur after a single radiation exposure
of 2 Gy.
23
25. • The current standard treatment times confer a benefit by allowing
regeneration of acute-responding tissues, which reduces toxicity.
• Attempts made to deliver the therapy more quickly has caused the
acute responses to become more severe and dose-limiting.
• Growth factors like hematopoietic growth factors( G-CSF, GM-
CSF, erythropoietin, IL-11), keratinocyte growth factor protect the
tissues from radiation injury
25
27. • Tumours under 1mm size are fully oxic but beyond this size they
develop the region of hypoxia.
• Hypoxia in tumours can result from two different mechanisms.
1. Acute Hypoxia
2. Chronic Hypoxia
27
28. Acute Hypoxia
• Develop in tumour as a result of the temporary closing or blockage of
a particular blood vessel owing to the malformed structure which
lacks smooth muscle and often has incomplete endothelial lining and
basement membrane.
• At the moment when a dose of radiation is delivered, a proportion of
the tumor cells may be hypoxic, but if the radiation is delayed until a
later time, a different group of cells may be hypoxic.
28
29. Chronic Hypoxia
• It results from the limited diffusion distance of oxygen in respiring
tissue that is actively metabolizing oxygen.
• The distance oxygen can diffuse in respiring tissue is about 70µm.
• Cells that are hypoxic for long periods become necrotic and die.
29
32. Process of Reoxygenation
•Tumors contain a mixture of aerated and
hypoxic cells.
•A dose of x-rays kills a greater proportion of
aerated than hypoxic cells.
• The pre-irradiation pattern tends to return
because of reoxygenation of hypoxic cells.
• If the radiation is given in a series of
fractions separated in time sufficient for
reoxygenation to occur, the presence of
hypoxic cells does not greatly influence the
response of the tumor.
32
34. Mechanism of Reoxygenation
• Reoxygenation in tumours have:
– Fast component :
• seen in acute hypoxia
• occurs within hours
• reoxygenation occurs when temporarily closed vessels reopen
– Slow component:
• seen in chronic hypoxia
• occurs within days
• reoxygenation occurs when the tumor shrinks in size and the
surviving cells that were previously beyond the range of
oxygen diffusion, come closer to a blood supply
34
35. • The concept of reoxygenation applies mostly to animal tumours
that are experimentally studied.
• The human tumours are assumed to reoxygenate from the
evidence that many tumours respond to the doses on the order of
60Gy in 30#s.
35
37. •Apart from previous 4 R’s, there
is an intrinsic radiosensitivity or
radioresistance in different cell
types.
•The radiosensitivity of the tumor
cells is now thought to be the
primary determinant of tumor
response to radiation.
