Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium that infects the stomachs of approximately half of the world's population. It is the primary cause of peptic ulcers and is associated with chronic gastritis and gastric cancer. In Pakistan, a study found the prevalence of H. pylori infection to be 74.4%, with risk factors including presence of household animals and larger family size. H. pylori infection is usually treated with a combination of proton pump inhibitors, antibiotics, and bismuth to achieve eradication rates as high as 93%.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)fathi neana
Like all healthy ecosystems, Richness of microbiota species characterizes the GI microbiome in healthy individuals. Conversely, a loss in species diversity (Dysbiosis) is a common finding in several disease states. The types of Dysbiosis are: 1- Loss of beneficial bacteria. 2- Overgrowth of potentially pathogenic bacteria. 3- Loss of overall bacterial diversity. 4- Overgrown in an area they’re not supposed to be in like the small intestine (SIBO).
The overgrowth of microbes in the small intestine results in: 1- fermentation of food in the small intestine, producing hydrogen and other gases. 2- They can also degrade the thin mucus layer and come in contact with the gut barrier, causing inflammation and intestinal permeability (Leaky gut). 3- This can lead to a variety of unpleasant symptoms and consequences like food allergies , sensitivities and chronic inflammatory processes. 4- SIBO leads to both maldigestion and malabsorption as the bacteria interfere with normal enzymatic and metabolic activity of the small intestine. 5- Additionally, these bacteria are associated with increased serum endotoxin and bacterial compounds stimulating production of (pro)inflammatory cytokines. 6- Iron is typically absorbed in the duodenum and the jejunum and SIBO can interfere with this absorption resulting in microcytic anemia. 7- Vitamin B12 is absorbed in the ileum and patients with SIBO often have B12 malabsorbtion which leads to megaloblastic anemia and B12 deficiency.
The best treatment for SIBO, like other forms of bacterial imbalance – or DYSBIOSIS is rehabilitating our microbiome.”

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

Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.

Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

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
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. History & Taxonomy of Helicobacter
Family not yet named (17 species by rRNA sequencing)
First observed in 1983 as Campylobacter-like
organisms (formerly Campylobacter pyloridis) in the
stomachs of patients with type B gastritis
Nomenclature of Helicobacter was first established
in 1989, but only three species are currently
considered to be human pathogens
Important Human Pathogens:
Helicobacter pylori (human; no animal reservoir)
H. cinaedi (male homosexuals; rodents)
H. fenneliae (male homosexuals; rodents)
4. Helicobacter pylori is major human pathogen
associated with gastric antral epithelium in
patients with active chronic gastritis
Stomach of many animal species also colonized
Urease (gastric strains only), mucinase, and
catalase positive highly motile microorganisms
Other Helicobacters: H. cinnaedi and H.
fenneliae
• Colonize human intestinal tract
• Isolated from homosexual men with proctitis,
proctocolitis, enteritis, and bacteremia and are
often transmitted through sexual practices

United States: 30% of total population infected
• Of those, ~1% per year develop duodenal ulcer
• ~1/3 eventually have peptic ulcer disease(PUD)
70% gastric ulcer cases colonized with H. pylori
Low socioeconomic status predicts H. pylori infection
Developing Countries:
Hyper endemic
About 10% acquisition rate per year for children
between 2 and 8 years of age
Most adults infected but no disease
• Protective immunity from multiple childhood infections

10. Prevalence and risk factors of Helicobacter
pylori infection among Pakistani population
Objective: Prevalence of H. pylori infection is higher in
developing countries including Pakistan. The basic purpose of
this study was to investigate the prevalence of H. pylori
infection and determination of possible risk factors.
Methodology: A prospective epidemiologic survey of H. pylori
infection was accomplished in 2008 and 2009 involving 516
asymptomatic individuals of Barakaho, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Data were obtained by questionnaire and H. pylori positivity
was checked by 13C UBT.
.
11. Results: A total of 516 individuals participated in the study
of which 384 (74.4%) were positive for H. pylori infection.
The prevalence was 73.5% in males and 75.4% in females
(p = 0.622) and increased with increasing age (p < 0.001).
Presence of household animals (p = 0.004) and more
family members (p = 0.025) were significantly correlated
with H. pylori prevalence while no association was seen
with other risk factors such as education level, drinking
water source, number of rooms in house and monthly
family income.
Conclusions: High prevalence of H. pylori infection in
Pakistani population is comparable to the data of
developing countries. H. pylori infection was significantly
associated with presence of household animals and more
family members

The methods of diagnosis for H. pylori infection have been traditionally divided into invasive and noninvasive.
The invasive techniques require the demonstration of the organism on biopsy samples with endoscopy and biopsy.
The noninvasive testing methods detect the presence of antibodies made against H. pylori and do not require endoscopic examination.
Antibody test (rapid, qualitative test), accuracy less than other tests, least expensive
Stool antigen test accuracy approaching breath test, ?Intermediate cost
Urea breath test, very accurate, some extra time, expense required
