Andy conducted a science fair project on multiple sclerosis (MS) to understand if patching or changing circuits in the brain and spinal cord could slow down the progression of the disease in his mother who has severe MS. He created an experiment using wires to represent nerves in the body and found that the entire wire needs to be wrapped continuously to allow nerve impulses to travel successfully, similar to how damage to the myelin sheath in MS prevents proper nerve signaling. Andy concluded that MS is a chronic neurological condition caused by the immune system attacking the body where there are currently some treatments to delay progression but no cure, and he wants to be a future scientist that finds a cure for the disease.

Long-Term Care: Scan the Options
Long-Term Care: Scan the Options is a project Davis & Neal produced for the South Central Alabama Development Commission, Area Agency on Aging (SCADC) which serves Bullock, Butler, Crenshaw, Lowndes, Macon and Pike Counties, Alabama. This project included a booklet, posters and postcards to help seniors and caregivers become knowledgeable of the options, cost and availability of long-term care and how to make arrangements for care. The content and art were produced by Neal.

Disordered Brain Modeling Using Artificial Network SOFM
Autism is known as a neurobiological developmental disorder which affects language,
communication, and cognitive skill. In the case of autism attention shift impairment and
strong familiarity preference are considered to be prime deficiencies. Attention shift
impairment is one of the most seen behavioral disorders found in autistic patients. We
have model this behavior by employing self-organizing feature map (SOFM).

Benign brain tumors are not
very serious and therefore are
not cause for concern.
Fiction:Benign tumors tend to
grow and crowd out precious
cranial space and, thus, apply
pressure or restrict blood flow to
particular brain regions. If these
benign growths are inoperable
or uncontrolled, they will kill the
victim. Malignant brain tumors
may be lethal, but they may
also be surgically removed or re-
duced with medication or radia-
tion. All brain tumors require at-
tention and may be lethal if left
untreated. Treatment with
surgery, medication, or radiation
is most successful for slowly
growing, encapsulated tumors.

Carolyn Post Shaking Baby Syndrome---
Shaken baby syndrome (SBS) is defined by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NIH) as "a type of inflicted traumatic brain injury that happens when a baby is violently shaken". The syndrome is generally characterized by subdural hemorrhages, retinal hemorrhages, damage to the spinal cord and neck, fractures of the ribs and bones, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (NIH, 2018, Strouse, 2018). Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined by NIH as "a form of acquired brain injury...occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain". Levels of TBI include mild, moderate, and severe and depend on the extent of damage to the brain (NIH). Symptoms can include loss of consciousness, headache, confusion, light-headedness, dizziness, blurred vision or tired eyes, ringing in the ears, bad taste in the mouth, fatigue or lethargy, behavioral or mood changes and trouble with concentration, memory, attention, and thinking (NIH). While the prognosis of a patient with TBI varies with the severity of the injury, infants and young children who suffer from SBS have a worse prognosis, from possible blindness to neurological and mental disabilities such as cerebral palsy and/or cognitive delays (NIH).
Traumatic brain injury and shaken baby syndrome share a common feature of damage caused to the brain from external forces. As the brain develops from infancy into young adulthood, neurological pathways are being formed and reinforced through repeated experiences (Liberty, 2014). When trauma such as being violently shaken is experienced in a developing brain, those pathways can be disrupted, broken off and no longer connected. Dr. Sibcy (Liberty, 2014) explains that the brain develops from the bottom to the top and from the right to the left and literally "wires itself" as growth and development progress. When the wiring process is interrupted or exposed to trauma, injuries such as axonal injury can occur (McKee & Daneshvar, 2015). Axonal injury, a shearing of the axon (the part of the neuron that transmits messages from the cell body), can be a result of TBI and SBS. When the pathway is disrupted, it often is unable to be repaired due to the distance axons can cover in the brain. This can result in devastating effects on the brain, causing major disruptions in development.

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

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
