Exclusive breastfeeding means babies are given only breast milk and nothing else for the first 6 months. Breast milk provides optimal nutrition for growth and immunity. The WHO recommends initiating breastfeeding within the first hour of birth and exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. Weaning is the gradual introduction of complementary foods between 5-6 months while continuing breastfeeding. Appropriate weaning foods are introduced one at a time and increase in amount and complexity as the baby ages.
Breastfeeding, also called nursing, is the process of feeding a mother's breast milk to her infant, either directly from the breast or by expressing (pumping out) the milk from the breast and bottle-feeding it to the infant

Antenatal exercises are exercises performed by the women in their antenatal period to enhance the circulation and prevent various kind of complications. It also gives a feeling of well being to the women.
Postnatal care (PNC) for the mother should respond to her special needs, starting within an hour after the delivery of the placenta and extending through the following six weeks. The care includes the prevention, early detection and treatment of complications, and the provision of counselling on breastfeeding, birth spacing, immunization and maternal nutrition. To standardise the PNC service, you are advised to use the screening, counselling and postnatal care cards. These cards ensure that you have covered all the essential steps in every home visit.

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

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.
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

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.
2. STATISTICS OF EXCLUSIVE BREAST FEEDING
• According to WHO statistics globally 3 in 5 not breastfeed in the first hour of life
• WHO says 820000 children could be saved yearly if all children were optimally
breastfed
• Only 41% of infants 0 – 6 months of age are exclusively breastfed.
3.
4. INTRODUCTION
According to the WHO& AAP breastfeeding is the normal way of providing
young infants with the nutrients that they need for healthy growth and development.
Breastfeeding helps against a number of infections, prevent allergies, and protect
against a number of chronic conditions.
5. BREAST FEEDING
DEFINITION
Breastfeeding is the feeding of an infant or young child with
breast milk directly from female human breast (i.e ,via lactation) not
from a baby bottle or other container
-WHO
6. EXCLUSIVE BREAST FEEDING
Exclusive breast feeding means babies are given only breast milk
and nothing other than breast milk such as cow’s milk, food, drinks and
not even water.
During the first 6 month exclusive breast feeding is followed.
7. Meaning of Breastfeeding
• B- Best for baby
• R- Reduces incidence of
allergies
• E- Economical - no waste
• A- Antibodies greater
immunity against infections
• S- Stool inoffensive - never
constipated
• T- Temperature always correct
and constant
• F- Fresh milk - never goes sour
in the breast
• E- Emotional bonding
• E- Easy once established
• D- Digested easily within two
to three hours
• I- Immediately available
• N- Nutritionally balanced
• G- Gastroenteritis greatly
reduced
8. HORMONES IN BREASTFEEDING
• PROLACTIN – helps in milk production ( Anterior pituitary)
• OXYTOCIN - helps in ejection. ( Posterior pituitary)
9. EXPRESSION OF LATCH
• L= lacth on
• A= audible swallowing
• T= type of nipple
• C= comfort
• H= hold positioning
10. PHYSIOLOGY OF LACTATION
Milk producing reflex
When the baby cries
The sensory nerve ending in breast is stimulated
The impulse is carried to hypothalamus by
vagus nerve
In hypothalamus, anterior pituitary release
prolactin into the blood
Prolactin in blood , acts on milk producing cells
in breast.
Thus , milk produced.
“ the more the baby sucks, the more the milk is
secreated”
11. PHYSIOLOGY OF LACTATION
• Mammogenesis (preparation of breasts): In this, basically there is
growth of ductal system and lobulo-alveolar system.
• Lactogenesis (synthesis and secretion from breast alveoli): Actual
milk secretion starts on the 3rd or 4th postpartum day. The breasts
become engorged, tense, tender and feel warm. Secretory activity is
enhanced by Prolactin.
• It is also enhanced directly by growth hormone thyroxine,
glucocorticoids and insulin. During pregnancy, the level of prolactin is
high but there is no lactation because of steroids, estrogen and
progesterone. These hormones makes the breast tissue unresponsive to
prolactin.
12. • Galactokinesis (ejection of milk): Ejection of milk depends upon:
• Sucking of baby
• Contractile mechanism which expresses the milk from the alveoli
into the ducts.
• Galactopoiesis (maintenance of lactation):
• Prolactin appears to be the most important galactopoietic hormone.
• For maintenance of effective and continuous lactation, sucking is
essential. It helps to remove milk from the glands, and also causes
release of prolactin.
17. • 1. Colostrum:
• Colostrum is the fluid secreted by the breasts in the last few weeks of
pregnancy
• It secretes during first 3 to 4 days after delivery until lactation begins.
• It is a deep yellow serous fluid
• It is alkaline in reaction.
• It has high specific gravity.
• It contains vitamins A, D, E, K, white blood cells and antibodies
(IgA). The immunoglobulin coats the lining of the babies immature
intestines helping to prevent pathogens from invading the baby's
system.
• It has low carbohydrates, fat and potassium
18. 2.Transitional milk:
• Transitional milk is lower protein breast milk.
• It replaces the colostrum.
• It is secreted about 3 to 6 days after delivery,
• Breast milk increases in quantity and changes in appearance and composition.4.
3. Mature milk:
• After two weeks, mature milk is secreted.
• It is thin and watery in texture.
• It is high in fat content and lactose.
• It is high in linoleic acid and cholesterol content.
• It is good for brain development.
19. 4. Fore milk:
• Fore milk is secreted at the start of a feed.
• It is watery, rich in protein, sugar, vitamins, minerals and water.
• It helps to satisfy baby's thirst.
5. Hind milk:
• It comes later towards the end of a feed.
• It is richer in fat content.
• It provides more energy and satisfy baby's hunger.
• For optional growth baby needs fore and hind
• milk.

26. • B. Advantages for Mother
• 1. Lactation suppresses ovulation in mothers who give exclusive breast
feeding to their infants and serves as a natural contraceptive.
• 2. Breastfeeding lowers the risk of ovarian and breast cancer.
• 3. Breastfeeding is convenient for the mother as she is not required to
clean the bottle and prepare milk whenever she feeds the baby.
• 4. Breastfeeding the baby helps mother lose extra weight that she had
put during pregnancy.
• 5. Breastfeeding promotes involution of uterus, thus brings back the
mother in shape after delivery.
27. INITIATION OF BREASTFEEDING
WHO recommendations regarding initiation of
breastfeeding are
• Early and uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact
between mothers and infants should be facilitated
and encouraged as soon as possible after birth.
• All mothers should be supported to initiate
breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth or
within the first hour after delivery.
• Mother should receive practical support to enable
them to initiate and establish
28. TECHNIQUES
POSITION OF MOTHER AND BABY
• The baby should be properly positioned to achieve effective latching.
• The mother should wear comfortable apparel, with the breast well exposed for
the infant to be able to latch.
• The infant’s mouth, chin and umbilicus should be lined up with the head in a
neutral position.
• The infant is brought to the breast, with the nose touching or close to the breast.
29. • The gum line should overlap the areola, and the nipple straight back into
the mouth.
• The tongue moves forward beyond the lower gum, cupped and forming a
reservoir.
• Milk is removed for the lactiferous sinuses, the jaw moves down creating
a negative pressure gradient that helped transfer milk to the pharynx.
34. RESULT OF BAD ATTACHMENT
• Painful nipples
• Damaged nipples
• Engorgement
• Baby unsatisfied and cries a lot
• Baby feeds frequently and for a long time
• Decreased milk production
• Baby fails to gain weight
35. PATTERNS OF BREAST FEEDING
FRIST FEED: normal delivery – ½ hour
caeserian – 1 hour
Demand feed : whenever baby cries
Duration of feeding : one breast completely than the other
Interval : 6 – 8 times a day
36. BURPING
Burp the baby after feeding at each breast and at the
end of the feeding
When burping the baby, remember to apply some
gentle but firm pressure on the abdomen.
Helpful positions to burp include:
1. Propped up with baby's tummy against the shoulder.
2. Lying tummy-down across the lap.
3. Sitting up, leaning over with the supportive hand
under baby's arm.
37. CONTRA INDICATION FOR BREAST
FEEDING

• Breast massage, warm compresses
• analgesics
42. INVERTED NIPPLE
• Make difficult in attachment
• Improper suckling may cause
sore and excoriated nipple
Treatment
• Manual eversion
• Plastic syringe
• Nipple shield
46. STORAGE OF BREAST MILK
• Human milk can be stored at room temperature
for 6-8 hours.
• Expressed milk can be stored in an insulated
cooler bag with ice packs for 24hours.
• Breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for
about 5 days at about 40°F.
• It can also be kept in a freezer compartment of a
fridge for up to 2 weeks at 0-5°F.
• It can be stored in a deep freezer for about 3-12
months.
47. PRESENT STATE OF BREAST FEEDING
PATTERN
• The government of India has always been promoting at national and
International for an exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 month and
introduction of complementary for after 6 month and then after with
continued with the Indian tradition of prolonged breastfeeding and
introduction of complementary foods from 6 month of age through
ceremony
• India now has one of the strongest legislation to protect from
commercial influence.
49. WEANING
Meaning of weaning
Weaning means- to free from a habit
Process of gradual and progressive transfer of the baby from the
breastfeeding to the usual family diet
Weaning does not mean discontinuity of breast feeding. Weaning foods are
given in addition of breast feed when the amount of breastfeeding is
inadequate.
50. DEFINITION
• Weaning is defined as ‘the systematic process of introduction of
suitable food at the right time in addition to mother’s milk in order to
provide needed nutrients to the baby’
- (UNICEF, 1984).
51. Qualities of complementary foods
1.Liquid at
starting then
semisolid
and solid
2.Clean
and Fresh
4. Hygenic
3.Easily
digestible
52. 5.Easy to
prepare
6. High in
energy
7. Based on
cultural
practice and
traditional
beliefs
8.Well
balanced
53. Principles of introduction of weaning food
1. Weaning foods should provide extra requirement as per need of the
baby
2. Initially small amount should be given then increase gradually in
course of a week
3.New food to be placed over the tongue of the baby to get the taste of
food and to feel the consistency.
4. A single weaning food is added at a time.
5. Weaning should be started between 5 to 6 months of age but
breastfeeding to be continued up to 2 years of age.
54. 6. Additional food can be given in the day time. Initially it can be given
once, then twice or thrice.
7. New foods should be given when the infant is hungry, but never
force the child to take the feeds.
8. Delayed weaning result in malnutrition and growth failure.
9. Observe the problems related to weaning process. The infant may
have:- - indigestion - pain in abdomen - weaning diarrhea - skin rashes -
psychological upset
55. Preparing and storing the weaning foods
1.Hands-carefully washed with soap and water before preparing food
2.Utensils – washed and scrubed thoroughly
3. Clean cooking place and chopping board
4.Foods should be-
-Fresh for weaning
-prepared immediately
-cooked and boiled well
-mashed with clean pestle, fork or spoon
-use clean water for washing and making weaning food
-not store for more then 2 hours
56. WEANING FOOD ACCORDING TO AGE

the child needs
58. PROBLEMS DURING WEANING
• If on starting weaning, breast feeding is stopped suddenly, it
can have adverse psychological effect on the child.
• Weaning food, if prepared unhygienically or not digested
properly can cause diarrhoea.
• If weaning food are not nutrient rich, the child can develop
malnutrition.
• Children may develop indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea
or rashes if they are allergic to certain foods.
60. INTRODUCTION
BFHI is a global movement, spearheaded by WHO and UNICEF that aims to
give every baby the best start in life by creating a health care environment where
breastfeeding is the norm. Maternity wards and hospitals applying the principles in
the joint statement are being designated baby friendly to call public attention to
their support for sound environment.
61. GOALS
1. To transform hospitals and maternity facilities through
implementation of the “ten steps”.
2. To end the practice of distribution of free and low - cost supplies of
breast milk substitutes to maternity wards and hospitals.
