Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

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

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
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

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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.

Antenatal ultrasound
1. ANTENATAL ULTRASOUND AS A
DIAGNOSTIC MODALITY FOR
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES
Presented by: Dr. Prashant Srivastava
MD (Pediatrics)
2. ULTRASOUND
• Important role in the care of pregnant women
• Safe, non-invasive, non-ionising radiation,
accurate and cost effective investigation for fetus
• Based on the principle of SONAR
• High frequency sound waves generated from a
transducer penetrate through tissues of different
densities and reflected energy to the transducer
is amplified and displayed on screen
3. Uses of Antenatal Ultrasound
1. Establish the presence of a living embryo/fetus
2. Age of pregnancy
3. Diagnosing congenital abnormalities in fetus
4. Position of fetus and placenta
5. Amount of amniotic fluid
6. Assess fetal well-being
It’s disadvantage is being observer dependency.
4. Antenatal USG in 1st Trimester
• Following fetal details are noted-
a. Recording the presence or absence of fetal life
b. Identification and documenting the fetal number
c. Gestational age
d. Major structural abnormalities (e.g anencephaly)
5. Antenatal USG in 2nd and 3rd Trimester
• Fetal viability, number.
• Amount of amniotic fluid
• Fetal age and growth estimation
Head Circumference and shape of skull
Femur Length
Abdominal Circumference
• Congenital abnormalities
6. Evaluation of Fetal Anatomic
Structures
• Cerebellum and Cerebral ventricles
• Spine
• Stomach-bowel, abdominal wall at the area
of the umbilical cord insertion
• Bladder and kidney
• All 4 limbs
• Four chamber view of the heart
7. Fetal Age Estimation in 1st Trimester
• Identification of Gestational sac- Correlation of fetal
age with LMP
• Fetal Age Estimation in 2nd & 3rd Trimester
i. Bi-parietal diameter measurement- Around 9
weeks until end of pregnancy
ii. Head circumference measurement-Gestational age
prediction when abnormal skull shape, measured
on same plane as bi-parietal diameter
iii. Abdominal Circumference measurement- Less
accurate for estimating gestational age
iv. Femur length- Fetal age assessment
8. Nuchal Translucency
• Evaluation of subcutaneous fluid behind the fetal
head, neck and torso between 11-13+6 weeks
gestation.
• Single most effective screening test for fetal
aneuploidy
• Increased nuchal thickness (>95th centile) is
associated with fetal chromosomal defects
• Fetuses with increased NT with normal karyotype
are at increased risk for structural anomalies
• Fetuses with increased NT must undergo detailed
2nd trimester scan and fetal Echo
9. Second Trimester USG
• Best performed at 18-20 weeks
• Detailed anatomic survey of fetus
• Approx. one-third of fetuses affected with trisomy
21 have a major or minor structural variation
identifiable on USG.
• Other detectable abnormalities- holoprosencephaly,
facial cleft, cystic hygroma, diaphragmatic hernia,
posterior fossa cyst, major heart defects, duodenal
atresia, hyperechoic bowel, omphalocele, early FGR,
talipes
10. • Detecting structural anomalies in 2nd trimester
helps in identifying abnormalities a/w severe
morbidity or incompatible with life and parents can
take a informed decision for MTP.(e.g anencehaly,
meningomyelocele)
• Few anomalies like urinary tract abnormalities,
microcephaly, skeletal dysplasia are progressive
and late in onset and may not be detectable at 18-
20 weeks USG.
11. Soft Markers (Not abnormalities in
itself but indicate risk of congenital
abnormality)
Biometric Parameters Morphologic signs
Short length of femur
Short length of humerus
Pyelectasis
Increased nuchal fold
Ventriculomegaly
Hypoplastic or absent nasal
bone
Early FGR
Choroid plexus cyst
Echogenic bowel
Echogenic intracardiac foci
Aberrant right subclavian
artery
13. Anterior Abdominal Wall Defects
• Gastroschisis, omphalocele, limb body wall
complex
• Omphalocele, if a/w other congenital
abnormalities and chromosomal aneuploidy, has
high risk of antenatal mortality.
• Isolated omphalocele has good post surgical
prognosis in neonatal period.
• Gastroschisis is not a/w other congenital
abnormalities, but complex postnatal period
depending on extent of organ involvement.
15. • Limb body wall complex and pentalogy of
Cantrell are universally lethal during antenatal
life.
• Antenatal detection of these abdominal wall
defects helps in-
Planning for amniocentesis to detect
chromosomal anomalies in omphalocele a/w
other congenital anomalies
Delivery in a tertiary care centre with pediatric
surgery backup.
16. CNS Abnormalities
• Common neural tube defects- Anencephaly,
encephalocele, hydrocephalus with or without
spina bifida
• Large open neural tube defects, especially at
upper vertebral levels (cervical, thoracic) have
poor prognosis
• Smaller lesions like meningocele without cord
tethering may be detected later in pregnancy or
after birth due to small size and lack of classical
signs of tentorial herniation or neurological
deficits and have a good prognosis with surgery
18. Congenital Cardiac Defects
• Complex cardiac defects like hypoplastic left or
right ventricle, large atrioventricular septal
defects, valvular atresia/severe valvular stenosis-
worse prognosis due to anomaly itself or a/w
other congenital anomalies or chromosomal
aneuploidies.
• Cardiac defects which are relatively non-lethal or
have good surgical prognosis- Isolated septal
defects, isolated TGA, Fallot’s tetrology with
good size pulmonary artery, TAPVCs, milder
varieties of coarctation of aorta
19. Further antenatal monitoring is necessary for
Detection of worsening of cardiac function,
signs of heart failure or development of hydrops
Deciding the timing of delivery
Deciding the level of hospital care for delivery
with availabilty of NICU, cardiac surgeon and
cardiac anesthetist
20. Congenital Lung Malformation
• Fetal thoracic masses- CPAM,BPS
• If a/w hydrops, these are fatal.
• Congenital pulmonary airway malformation volume
ratio (CVR)- Helps in determining the risk of
development of hydrops.
• CVR- Volume of the mass normalized for gestational
age. CVR> 1.6 predicts increased risk of developing
hydrops.
• In post-natal period, early thoracoscopic surgery is
required if available & in competent hands and if
neonate is symptomatic
21. Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
• If diagnosed before 26 weeks, a/w liver
herniation and a low lung to head circumference
ratio (LHR<1)- Poor prognosis after birth
• LHR – Ratio of opposite normal lung area to
head circumference
• Antenatal management includes antenatal
monitoring for development of hydrops, cardiac
dysfunction, delivery at a tertiary care centre,
following standard protocols after birth after
initial stabilization and then, surgical
management
22.
23. Fetal Genitourinary Anomalies
• Bilateral renal agenesis is incompatible with life
• Common- urinary tract dilation disorders like
PUJ obstruction, VUR, posterior urethral valves,
urethral atresia (complete/partial)
• All these present with varying degree of
hydronephrosis, depending on severity of
obstruction
• All urinary tract dilatation abnormalities need
antenatal USG monitoring at monthly intervals
for worsening, oligohydroamnios, cortical
thickness, echogenicity and fetal maturity
24. SFU Grading of Ante-natal HDN
Classification Renal pelvic anteroposterior
diameter (APD)
Second trimester Third trimester
Mild 4-6 mm 7-9 mm
Moderate 7-10 mm 10-15 mm
Severe >10 mm >15 mm
25. Gastrointestinal Anomalies
• USG findings- hyperechogenic bowel,
polyhdramnios
• Common anomalies- Esophageal atresia with or
without TEF, duodenal atresia, intestinal atresia
• Higher the obstruction, earlier the presentation
in antenatal period by polyhydramnios and
proximally dilated loops.
• Delivery at tertiary care centre and early surgical
intervention reduces morbidity and better
prognosis
26. Ano-rectal Malformation
• USG – Less sensitive and specific to detect ARM
• Frequently a/w sacral agenesis and lower limb
hypoplasia as part of caudal regression
syndrome
• VACTERL- Association between vertebral, anal,
cardiovascular, tracheo-esophageal, renal and
limb malformation
27. • USG findings suggestive of ARM
i. Absence of the circular rim of hypo-
echogenicity in the perineum- Imperforate anus
ii. Enterolithiasis and dilated fetal colon – Indirect
evidence of ARM
• Suspected ARM need fetal MRI in 3rd trimester
28. GUT ROTATIONAL ANOMALIES
• Antenatal USG shows polyhydramnios, distended
stomach, collapsed bowel loops, ascites
• ‘Single bubble’ sign due to distended stomach point
towards rotational anomalies
• Whirlpool sign- Abnormal relationship b/w SMA &
SMV
• Barber pole sign- Duodenal atresia
• Some anomalies like fetal volvulus can be life
threatening
• If twisting of bowel loops cause twisting of
mesenteric artery, it lead to bowel necrosis
29. Biliary System Anomalies
• USG is less specific for detecting
abnormalities of biliary system antenatally
• Abnormalities that might be detected-
Agenesis, left-sided, septated or bilobed gall-
bladder
• GB with an irregular wall a/w a cyst of the
extrahepatic biliary tract should raise
suspicion of CBA.
30. Antenatal diagnosis of PUV
• Bladder wall thickening >3 mm is considered
abnormal.
• Amniotic fluid volume and appearance of fetal
renal cortex- predictors of post-natal renal
function.
• Presence of bilateral hydroureteronephrosis with
or without oligohydramnios
• Dilated posterior urethra with a thickened fetal
bladder- characteristic appearance of keyhole
31. • Megacystitis- Large Fetal bladder
measuring>10 mm in sagittal plane, non-
specific indicator of PUV, uretral atresia or
stenosis, prune belly syndrome, megacystis-
microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis
syndrome and cloacal anomalies.
33. Oligohydramnios
• Amniotic fluid <200 ml at term or amniotic fluid
volume <5th centile for gestational age
• AFI<5 cm at 28-40 weeks or single vertical pocket
<2 cm
• It can be due to-
Renal agenesis, urinary obstruction
Spontaneous rupture of membranes
IUGR, Intrauterine infection
Fetal chromosomal and structural anomalies
(potter’s syndrome)
Drugs: PG inhibitors, ACE inhibitors
34.
35. Fetal complications due to
Oligohydramnios
• Abortion/Intrauterine fetal death
• Prematurity
• Deformities- CTEV, contractures, amputation
• Malpresentations
• Fetal distress
• MAS
• Low APGAR
36. Polyhdramnios
• Amniotic liquor >2000 ml
• AFI >25 cm or >95th centile for gestational age and a
large vertical pocket >8 cm
• Excessive production of liquor amnii can be due to
Anencephaly, open spina bifida, transudation from
exposed meninges
absence of fetal swallowing reflex,
esophageal/duodenal atresia/neonatal intestinal
atresia, facial clefts/neck masses,
hydrops fetalis, cardiothoracic anomalies
Aneuploidy, multiple pregnancy
37.
38. CONCLUSION
• Antenatal USG is a good diagnostic technique for
detecting major congenital abnormalities in
babies.
• It helps in directing towards further diagnostic
evaluation like amniocentesis, CVS, fetal MRI,
genetic testing etc
• It helps in taking decision towards continuation
or termination of pregnancy
• It helps in choosing place of delivery and better
perinatal & postnatal management
