Background. The effect of exercise on specific impairments and activity limitations in
people with hip osteoarthritis (OA) is limited.
Objective. The study objective was to evaluate the long-term effect of exercise therapy and
patient education on range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, physical fitness, walking
capacity, and pain during walking in people with hip OA.
Design. This was a secondary outcome analysis of a randomized clinical trial.
Setting. The setting was a university hospital.
Participants. One hundred nine people with clinically and radiographically evident hip
OA were randomly allocated to receive both exercise therapy and patient education (exercise
group) or patient education only (control group).
Intervention. All participants attended a patient education program consisting of 3 group
meetings led by 2 physical therapists. Two other physical therapists were responsible for
providing the exercise therapy program, consisting of 2 or 3 weekly sessions of strengthening,
functional, and stretching exercises over 12 weeks. Both interventions were conducted at a
sports medicine clinic.
Measurements. Outcome measures included ROM, isokinetic muscle strength, predicted
maximal oxygen consumption determined with the Astrand bicycle ergometer test, and
distance and pain during the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Follow-up assessments were
conducted 4, 10, and 29 months after enrollment by 5 physical therapists who were unaware
of group allocations.
Results. No significant group differences were found for ROM, muscle strength, predicted
maximal oxygen consumption, or distance during the 6MWT over the follow-up period, but
the exercise group had less pain during the 6MWT than the control group at 10 months (mean
difference��8.5 mm; 95% confidence interval��16.1, �0.9) and 29 months (mean differ-
ence��9.3 mm; 95% confidence interval��18.1, �0.6).
Limitations. Limitations of the study were reduced statistical power and 53% rate of
adherence to the exercise therapy program.
Conclusions. The previously described effect of exercise on self-reported function was
not reflected by beneficial results for ROM, muscle strength, physical fitness, and walking
capacity, but exercise in addition to patient education resulted in less pain during walking in
the long term.

Objectives To review the effects of physical activity on health and behavior outcomes and develop evidence-based
recommendations for physical activity in youth.
Study design A systematic literature review identified 850 articles; additional papers were identified by the expert
panelists. Articles in the identified outcome areas were reviewed, evaluated and summarized by an expert panelist. The strength
of the evidence, conclusions, key issues, and gaps in the evidence were abstracted in a standardized format and presented and
discussed by panelists and organizational representatives.
Results Most intervention studies used supervised programs of moderate to vigorous physical activity of 30 to 45 minutes
duration 3 to 5 days per week. The panel believed that a greater amount of physical activity would be necessary to achieve similar
beneficial effects on health and behavioral outcomes in ordinary daily circumstances (typically intermittent and unsupervised
activity).
Conclusion School-age youth should participate daily in 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity that
is developmentally appropriate, enjoyable, and involves a variety of activities. (J Pediatr 2005;146:732-7)

ecommendations for appropriate amounts of physical activity for the US
population, including school-age youth, have been developed by several
organizations and agencies.1 Although recent reviews have summarized the
benefits of regular physical activity on the health of youth and its potential for reducing the
incidence of chronic diseases that are manifested in adulthood,
2-5
a more systematic
approach is indicated. This report presents results of a systematic evaluation of evidence
dealing with the effects of regular physical activity on several health and behavioral
outcomes in US school-age youth, with the goal of developing a recommendation for the
amount of physical activity deemed appropriate to yield beneficial health and behavioral
outcomes.
METHOD
Under a contract with the Divisions of Nutrition and Physical Activity and
Adolescent and School Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the
Constella Group, an expert panel was convened to review and evaluate available evidence
on the influence of physical activity on several health and behavioral outcomes in youth
aged 6 to 18 years. The co-chairs of the panel selected panelists on the basis of expertise in
specific areas: adiposity, cardiovascular health (lipids and lipoproteins, blood pressure, the
metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular reactivity, heart rate

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.

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.
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

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
