Cow’s milk protein allergy and intolerance practical issuesApollo Hospitals
The main objective of this very brief review article is to draw the attention of the practicing paediatrician to key issues from a practical standpoint in the diagnosis of both cow's milk protein allergy and intolerance and, even more importantly, clinical features that help to distinguish between these two entities. It also educates the reader regarding a growing realization based on scientific evidence from the developing world that these are entities which need to be recognized even in this part of the world. This article provides useful practical tips to the practicing paediatrician regarding the specific indications and timing of referral to a paediatric gastroenterologist for the management of individuals with cow's milk protein allergy or intolerance. The article does not discuss the management of cow's milk protein allergy and intolerance.

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

Can we prevent allergies in children? Michael S. Blaiss, MD
1. Can we prevent
allergies in children?
Michael S. Blaiss, MD
Clinical Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine
University of Tennessee Health Science Center
Memphis, Tennessee USA
2. Introduction
Allergic disorders continue to escalate throughout the
world
• Asthma-8.2% of US population; 9.4% of children
• Up to 30% in some populations, particularly
developed countries
• Food allergies are becoming most common in infants
and children
Most present management treats symptoms; none of
our treatments cure these conditions
Are there things we can do to reduce the risk of
allergies developing in our “high risk” population?
3. Who do we target to reduce
the risk of the atopic march?
4. Is Parental Atopic History a
Reliable Predictor of Allergy?
Family history increases the risk of developing
allergy, HOWEVER…
• Most infants with allergy do not have a family
history of atopy.
• Most infants with a family history of atopy
don’t develop allergies.
Parental history is not a reliable predictor of allergy

5. Family History
50% to 80% of children will have some form of
allergy if both parents have an atopic history…

9. Maternal Dietary Avoidance
Intervention
Faith-Magnusson, K. JACI 1992
The 209 mothers to be, enrolled in a randomized,
prospective, allergy-prevention study from allergy-
prone families, totally abstained from cow's milk
and egg from gestational week 28 to delivery.
Looked at the development of allergic disease at 5
years of age in their children, compared with the
development of allergic disease in the children of
the control mothers
There was NO significant difference in eczema,
allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and asthma
11. Methods
Estimated maternal peanut and tree nut intake (n = 61,908)
using a validated mid-pregnancy food frequency
questionnaire.
At 18 months, parental report of childhood asthma
diagnosis, wheeze symptoms, and recurrent wheeze (>3
episodes) was collected.
Current asthma at 7 years as doctor-diagnosed asthma
plus wheeze in the past 12 months and allergic rhinitis as a
self-reported doctor’s diagnosis.
Odds ratios (ORs) comparing intake of 1 or more times per
week versus no intake.
18. Is the Low Prevalence of Peanut Allergy in
Israel Due to Hypoallergenic Peanut
Products?
S. J. Maleki, S. L. Hefle, et al. JACI 2005 San Antonio
.
RATIONALE: In Israel the majority of
infants less than 12 months old regularly
consume peanut products in contrast to
the UK where infants avoid peanut
products
Are the peanut protein allergens
different in Israel than UK and USA?
19. Peanut Allergy in Israel
RESULTS: Peanut protein levels from Israeli and U.K.
products were found to be between 68-100%. The Ara h
1, Ara h 2 and Ara h 3 proteins in each peanut product
were intact and the levels were comparable as seen in US
and UK
CONCLUSIONS: The contents of peanut protein,
individual major allergens and IgE binding capacity of the
popular snacks from Israel CANNOT explain the large
discrepancies in the prevalence of peanut allergy among
the two countries.
IS PROTECTION DUE TO EARLY INTRODUCTION OF
PEANUT??

No! No! No!
A one-time ingestion of a small amount
of cow’s milk, egg, peanut, etc. MAY
lead to oral tolerance
Studies are going on—We may see an
oral vaccine of these foods given once in
infancy in the physician’s office.

42. Partially Hydrolyzed Whey Formulas and
Allergy Risk Reduction
Partially hydrolyzed whey formulas may be
effective in reducing the risk of atopic dermatitis.
They are designed for routine use to reduce the
risk of cow’s milk allergy symptoms.
Unlike extensively hydrolyzed casein formulas,
partially hydrolyzed whey formulas are routine
infant formulas and not intended for therapeutic
use in infants who have already presented with
allergic disease.

46. Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food
Allergy in the United States: Summary of the NIAID
Sponsored Expert Panel Report; JACI 2010
Guideline 39: The EP suggests that the
use of hydrolyzed infant formulas, as
opposed to cow’s milk formula, may be
considered as a strategy for preventing
the development of FA in at-risk infants
who are not exclusively breast-fed (‘‘at
risk’’ is defined in Guideline 32)
Cost and availability of extensively
hydrolyzed infant formulas may be
weighed as prohibitive factors
47. Recommendation
Maternal dietary restrictions during pregnancy and
breastfeeding are not recommended.
There is evidence that exclusive breastfeeding for
at least 4 months compared with feeding intact cow
milk protein formula decreases the cumulative
incidence of atopic dermatitis and cow milk allergy
in the first 2 years of life.
48. Recommendations (cont.)
There is evidence that breastfeeding for at
least 4 months protects against wheezing in
early life and decreased risk of asthma
Breastfeeding should be recommended
because of other beneficial effects, BUT if
breast feeding is not possible, an extensively
hydrolyzed casein or partially hydrolyzed
whey formula is recommended (rather than
conventional cow’s milk formulas)
Soy formulas and other formulas (eg, goat’s
milk) are not recommended for reducing food
allergy risk
49. Recommendation (cont.)
Solid foods should not be introduced before 4 to
6 months, though studies are needed for a one
time introduction of allergenic foods during this
time frame for oral tolerance
Delaying the introduction of solids past 6 months
shows no evidence of a protective benefit—
regardless of type of formula used or
breastfeeding. This includes solids that are
thought to be highly allergenic
