Multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) have become major health threats as they are resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents. CRE caused over 9,000 infections and 610 deaths annually in the US according to a 2013 report. VRSA infections are difficult to treat due to resistance to vancomycin, the drug of last resort for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics has contributed to the rise of MDROs through selective pressure and gene transfer. Hospitals have implemented antibiotic stewardship and infection control

In today’s healthcare environment, there is an increasing emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) and their impact on patient and community health and hospital financials. There are now new regulatory standards from The Joint Commission (TJC) that require hospitals to implement ASPs, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed making it mandatory that hospitals implement an ASP in order to participate in Medicare and Medicaid. Regardless, a solid ASP is critically important to patient wellbeing, public health, and a hospital’s bottom line. This webinar will focus on how to bring a successful ASP to life in your hospital with a business plan and buy in from key stakeholders across the organization.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent an important class of novel biopharmaceutical modalities. ADCs are heterogeneous molecules with high complexity, containing numerous product-related features that contribute to the quality, efficacy, and safety of drugs. Most ADCs are synthesized by conjugating a cytotoxic compound or payload to a tumor-specific monoclonal antibody. The payloads are conjugated using amino or sulfhydryl-specific linkers that selectively react with lysines or cysteines on the antibody surface.

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.

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
