There is no direct evidence of radiation-induced genetic effects in humans, even at high doses. Estimates indicate the rate of genetic disorders from parental radiation exposure is extremely low, on the order of a few disorders per million live births per rem of exposure. The biological effects of radiation depend on factors like radiation quality, quantity, dose, and exposure conditions, with higher energy loss effects typically causing greater damage. Both direct and indirect radiation actions can cause immediate and long-term effects in humans like cancer and genetic disorders.

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.

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!
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.

1. There is no direct evidence
of radiation-induced genetic effects in
humans, even at high doses. Various
analyses indicate that the rate of
genetic disorders produced in
humans is expected to be extremely
low, on the order of a few disorders
per million live born per rem of
parental exposure.
2. The potential biological effects and damages caused by
radiation depend on the conditions of the radiation exposure.
The different kinds of radiation have different energy loss effects LET.
It is determined by:
quality of radiation
quantity of radiation
received dose of radiation
exposure conditions (spatial distribution)
3. Energy loss effects depends on nature and probability of interaction
between radiation particle and body material.
Particles with high energy loss effects cause typically greater damage.
To normalize these effects as an empirical parameter the
Relative Biological Effectiveness RBE of radiation for producing a
given biological effect is introduced:
The RBE for different kinds of radiation can be expressed in terms of
energy loss effects LET.
4. For low LET radiation, RBE LET, for higher LET the RBE
increases to a maximum, the subsequent drop is caused by the overkill
effect.
These high energies are sufficient to kill more cells than actually available!
5. Radiation damage to body organs, tissue, and cells is a
purely statistical effect
As higher the radiation dose as more likely some effects will
occur. As higher the LET and/or the RBE as more likely damage may
occur. The effects are typically described by empirical dose-response
curves.
Schematic representation of dose-response function E(D) at low doses D
for high-LET (curve H) and low-LET (curve L1,) radiations. L2 is the
extension of the linear beginning of L1.
6. Radiation can cause immediate effects (radiation
sickness), but also long term effects which may occur many
years (cancer) or several generations later (genetic effects).
Biological effects of radiation result from both direct and
indirect action of radiation.
Direct action is based on direct interaction between
radiation particles and complex body cell molecules, (for
example direct break-up of DNA molecules)
7. Indirect action is more complex and depends heavily on the
energy loss effects of radiation in the body tissue and the subsequent
chemistry.
1. Radiation deposits energy into the body tissue by energy
loss effects
compton scattering, photo-excitation for g- and X-rays
scattering and ionization processes for a-, p, n-particles (LET)
2. Energy loss causes ionization and break-up of simple body
molecules:
H2O H+ + OH
3. OH radical attacks DNA-molecule.
4. Resulting biological damage depends on the kind of alteration and
can cause cancer or long-term genetic alterations.

9. The time scales for the short and long term effects of radiation are
symbolized in the figure and listed in the table
10.
11. There are many biological effects a high dose of radiation can cause:
The results are based on several data sources on radiation
exposure to humans
survivors of the atomic bomb detonations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
medical exposure to patients (in particular in the early forties and fifties)
evaluations of populations with high occupational exposure
evaluations of populations with high radiation background (high altitude)
12.
13. Skin Effects
The first evidence
of biological effects of
radiation exposure appears
on the exposed skin.
The different stages
depend on the dose and on
the location of the exposure.
14. Acute Radiation Syndrome
The body consists of cells of different radiation sensitivity, a
large dose of radiation delivered acutely does larger damage than
the same does delivered over a long period of time.
The body response to a large acute dose manifests itself in
the acute radiation syndrome.
15. The first (prodomal) symptoms show up after 6 hours
These symptoms subside during the
latent period, which lasts between one
(high doses) and four weeks (low doses)
and is considered an incubation period
during which the organ damage is
progressing
The latent period ends with the onset of
the clinical expression of the biological
damage, the manifest illness stage, which
lasts two to three weeks
Survival of the manifest illness stage practically guaranties full recovery
of the patient
16. The severity and the timescale for the acute radiation syndrome
depends on the maximum delivered dose.
The first symptoms show up after 6 hours
If the whole body exposure exceeds a critical threshold rate of
50 -100 rad the symptoms show up more rapidly and
drastically.
17.
18. Long term radiation risks are more difficult to assess.
The predictions are based on the use of risk models.
The main problem are the insufficient statistical long term data
about radiation victims which make reliable model predictions difficult.
19. In particular for low LET exposure linear and quadratic dose-
response models differ considerably in their risk assessment
20.
21.
22. The risk assessment depends on the age of the exposed
person, different organs have a different response to radiation,
therefore the risk of cancer differs considerably.
23.
24.
25. The total lifetime detriment incurred each year from radiation
by a worker exposed to the limits over his/her lifetime should be no
greater than the annual risk of accidental death in a " safe" industry
environment.
Annual rate of fatal accidents ranges from 0.2104 (service industries)
to 5104 (min in industries).
For an averaged measured effective dose of 2.1 mSv for
radiation workers, the total detriment to receive radiation damage is:
21 103 Sv/y 4.0 102 Sv1 = 8.4 104y1 0.001 y1
This level is in the range of the average annual risk for
accidental death for all industries.
26. To control the distribution of exposure over a working career
the annual effective dose is limited to 50 mSv (not including medical
and natural background exposure)
To account for the cumulative effects of radiation, an age-dependent
limit of 10 mSv • age (y) is introduced.
Workers at age of 64 at the end of their career with an
accumulated effective dose of 640 mSv would have a lifetime detriment of:
0.64Sv • 4.0•10-2Sv-1 = 2.6•10-2
in comparison their lifetime risk of a fatal accident over their 50 y working
career is of comparable order:
50y • 5.0•10-4y-1 = 2.5•10-2
For specific organs special limits for the annual equivalent
dose are recommended.
