The document discusses acid-base balance and regulation in the human body. It covers:
1) Chemical compounds can act as proton donors (acids) or acceptors (bases), and acids and bases react to form salts. The body maintains blood pH through buffers like bicarbonate and proteins.
2) The lungs, kidneys, buffers and liver all play roles in regulating arterial pH. The lungs excrete carbon dioxide through respiration as compensation for metabolic acidosis or alkalosis. The kidneys reclaim bicarbonate and generate new bicarbonate through secretion of hydrogen ions.
3) Disturbances to acid-base balance result in acidosis or alkalosis,

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

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. 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.

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

Acid Base Balance
Introduction
To maintain cellular function, the body has
elaborate mechanisms that maintain blood
H+ concentration within a narrow range—
typically
: 37 to 43 nmol/L
(pH 7.35 to 7.45), &
ideally : 40 nmol/L
(pH = 7.4)

serious clinical consequences.

Types of acids in the body
Volatile acid
– Can leave solution and enter the atmosphere (e.g. carbonic
acid)
– Produced by aerobic metabolism
Fixed acids
– Acids that do not leave solution (e.g. sulfuric and phosphoric
acids)
– Generated during catabolism of amino acids
Organic acids
– Participants in or by-products of aerobic and anaerobic
metabolism
– Metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid, ketone bodies
7. Vittal
Acid-Base Physiology
Most acid comes from carbohydrate and fat
metabolism (15,000 to 20,000 mmol of CO2 daily)
CO2 combines with water (H2O) in the blood to
create carbonic acid (H2CO3), which in the presence
of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase dissociates into
H+ and HCO3−.
The H+ binds with Hb in the blood and is released
with oxygenation in the alveoli, the above reaction is
reversed, creating H2O and CO2, which is exhaled
Very little metabolic acid is produced - which is
eliminated by kidney and liver.
8. Vittal
Acid-Base Physiology
Most base comes from metabolism of anionic
amino acids (glutamate and aspartate) and
from oxidation and consumption of organic
anions such as lactate and citrate, which
produce HCO3−

pH
pH : the negative logarithm of the
hydrogen ion concentration
o a "decrease" in pH means an "increase" in acidity.
Standard pH: (Hasselbalch, 1916)

Arterial pH = 7.4
Venous pH = 7.36

PaCO 2
PaCO 2 :
the partial pressure of carbon dioxide.
The normal value in arterial blood is
40 mm Hg (or 5.33 kPa)
PaCO2 ∝ CO 2 production + inspired CO 2
Low PaCO2 reflects the rate of CO2 elimination
Principal physiological cause of hypocapnia is
hyperventilation Intentional, incidental (HFV, ECMO)

Bicarbonate
HCO 3 - : concentration (in mEq/L) of the
bicarbonate ion is not measured, it is calculated
from the PCO2 and pH
Standard Bicarbonate : (Jorgensen and Astrup, 1957)

conditions: PCO2=40 mmHg, and 37oC, and
saturated with oxygen.

component.

component.
In essence the method calculated the
