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!

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.

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. 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
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
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

Molecular Classification
Ancillary Techniques in diagnosis of Bone
tumours
3.
4. • Chondroblastoma is no longer in the intermediate (rarely
metastasizing) tumor category.
• Reported rate of metastases is <1%, and consequently
chondroblastoma is better classified as a benign tumor.
Chondrogenic Tumors
5. • 95% of chondroblastomas harbour a p.K36M
mutation in either H3F3A (chromosome 1) or
H3F3B (chromosome 17)

23. Cases of osteosarcoma showing different patterns of c-
FOS expression
Epithelioid osteoblastoma
• The presence of epithelioid osteoblasts does not
consistently predict an aggressive clinical course
• some osteo blastomas > 4 cm with locally destructive
features and repeated recurrences may lack epithelioid
cytomorphology.
24.
25. • Originates within the intramedullary cavity

metastatic rate of < 5% and 5-year and 10-year overall
survival rates of 90% and > 80%.
26. • Parosteal osteoarcomas are low-grade malignant bone-forming
neoplasm that arises on the cortical surface of bone.
• cartilage cap in some parosteal osteosarcomas is mildly
hypercellular and the chondrocytes show mild atypia and lack
the perpendicular columnar arrangement seen in osteochon
dromas.

radiation therapy of primary GCT)
• areas of giant cell loss and increased stromal
cellularity.
• Focal areas of marked pleomorphism,

In the 2013 WHO classi- fication, the terminology “ACT” was introduced as a synonym for CS1 and classified as intermediate (locally aggressive) to reflect the clinical behavior of well-differentiated/low-grade lesions.4 The argument was that such lesions, especially in the long bones, behave in a locally aggressive manner and do not metastasize; therefore, they should not be classified as having full malignant potential.
primary and secondary types are characterized by mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase isoforms IDH1 and IDH2, which have been detected in approximately 50% to 60% of primary and secondary central chondrosarcomas.
Chondrosarcoma (CHS) is a rare malignant tumor that produces cartilage matrix. The estimated overall incidence of CHSs is 1 in 200,000 per year [1], and it is the third most frequent malignant bone tumor after multiple myeloma and osteosarcoma.

Patients with dedifferentiated chon- drosarcoma have a dismal prognosis, most often because of widespread lung metastases
telangiectatic osteosarcoma, and small cell osteosarcoma are included in the section of osteosarcoma NOS.
Clear cell and chondroblastoma-like osteosarcoma subtypes were classified as histologic subtypes of osteosarcoma in the 2013 WHO classification but were deleted in the 2020 classification.
Osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma are common bone- forming tumors and typically present during the second
decade of life. They have no malignant potential, but osteoblastoma can behave locally aggressive [1, 2]. Both le- sions are more or less histologically indistinguishable, and distinction is predominantly based on size (diameter below or above 2 cm, respectively) [3]. In addition, osteoid osteomas are usually located in the long bones and present with noctur- nal pain relieved by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), while osteoblastomas have a preference for the posterior column of the spine. The most essential feature in osteoid osteoma is the radiographic presence of a central lu- cent area (nidus), which is surrounded by dense sclerotic bone tissue. In the nidus, regular trabeculae of woven bone are present. These trabeculae are lined by active osteoblasts with vascularized stroma in between. In osteoblastoma, the distri- bution of woven bone can be slightly less organized, as com- pared to the nidus of an osteoid osteoma.
They have no malignant potential,
In some instances it may be difficult, and occasionally impossible to differentiate osteoblastoma from the so-called osteoblastoma-like osteosarcoma.7,8 The controversial con- cept of the histologically labelled “aggressive osteoblastoma” also plays a role in the differential diagnosis of unusual cases. Aggressive osteoblastoma was initially defined as an osteo- blastoma with a distinct epithelioid morphology and therefore also referred to as epithelioid osteoblastomas.9 However, not all epithelioid osteoblastomas are clinically aggressive. Fur- thermore, some nonepithelioid osteoblastomas, usually larger than 4 cm, are associated with bone destruction and locally aggressive behavior which adds to the controversy around the term “aggressive” osteoblastoma.10 To compound the diag- nostic challenge, rare cases of osteoblastomas transforming into osteosarcomas have been reported

The diagnosis of so-called aggressive osteoblastomas morpho- logically characterized by the presence of large, epithelioid osteoblasts is controversial and not recommended using the term of “aggressive osteoblastoma” as the presence of epi- thelioid osteoblasts does not predict an aggressive clinical course in osteoblastoma.
Low-grade central osteosarcoma (LGCOS) is a low-grade malignant bone-forming neoplasm that originates within the intramedullary cavity and consists of fibroblastic tumour cells with low-grade nuclear atypia and well-formed neoplastic bony trabeculae.
Parosteal osteosarcoma is a low-grade malignant bone-forming neoplasm that arises on the cortical surface of bone.
Parosteal osteosarcoma and low-grade central osteosarcoma are two types of low-grade osteosarcoma that show similar clinical behaviors, histological features, and genetic background (ie, amplified sequences of 12q13–15, including MDM2 and CDK4).
Low-grade malignant bone-forming neoplasm

Most tumors previously considered giant cell lesion of the small bones
(primarily located in the hands and feet) represent a true solid variant of ABC
“giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG)” should be limited to lesions from gnathic location
ABC is a benign neoplasm of bone containing multi- loculated blood-filled cystic spaces.113 It occurs in all age groups but is most common in children and adolescents. It usually arises in the metaphysis of long bones, especially the femur, tibia, and humerus, and the posterior elements of vertebral bodies. CT and magnetic resonance imaging findings show characteristic fluid- fluid levels.
USP6 gene at chromosome band 17p13.2 are found in neoplastic spindle cells in 70% of ABCs but not in other tumors containing ABC-like changes
GCT of bone is a locally aggressive and rarely metasta- sizing neoplasm composed of neoplastic mononuclear stromal cells admixed with macrophages and osteoclast-like giant cells
Malignant GCTs account for <10% of all GCTs.
Early lesions: highly cellular, combination of cellularity, atypia, and haphazard bone deposition caused the lesion to resemble high-grade osteosarcoma.
Prolonged therapy showed decreased cellularity and abundant new bone, deposited as broad, rounded cords or long, curvilinear arrays.
Histologically, PDC is composed of cohesive sheets or nests of poorly differentiated epithelioid cells, often with a focal rhabdoid morphology
Mitotic activity is increased,
that is associated with a broad variety of diagnostically
challenging tumor entities, each with diverse clinical courses
The diagnostic cytologic finding is that of plump epithelioid endothelial cells with round nuclei, small nucleoli, and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm containing occasional vacuoles
Classic variant includes cords and nests of epithelioid cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and occasional intracytoplasmic vacuoles in a characteristic myxohyaline stroma
decalcification is essential for adequate histologic evaluation of bone tissue,
NGS-based studies resulting in the unraveling of the molecular landscape of diverse bone tumors.
the possibility of sample exhaus- tion associated with the limited amount of assays per slide, and the dependency of probe availability.
As a conceptual framework, molecu- lar alterations of bone tumors can be divided into two categories: simple or complex karyotype. Simple karyotypes include recurrent trans- locations, such as those predominantly seen in round cell tumors
pecific translocations, mutations, or amplifications.

Combined binary ratio labelingeFISH illustrates a complex chaotic karyotype, with numerous regions of amplification and deletions, combined with many translocations.
