The document discusses the changing concepts of public health over time. It outlines 4 phases - the disease control phase from 1880-1920 which focused on sanitation reforms; the health promotion phase from 1920-1960 which added a focus on individual health; the social engineering phase from 1960-1980 which addressed chronic diseases and risk factors; and the 'Health for All' phase from 1981-2000 which aimed to provide a basic level of health for all people. It also provides some examples of important figures in public health like Edwin Chadwick and outlines how public health systems have contributed to increased life expectancy worldwide through programs like immunization.

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
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
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.

3. IN TR OD U C TION
Public health refers to all organized measures
(whether public or private) to prevent disease,
promote health and prolong life among the
population as a whole.
Its activities aim to provide conditions in which
people can be healthy and focus on entire
populations, not on individual patients or
diseases.
Thus, public health is concerned with the total
system and not only the eradication of a
particular disease.
4. DEFINITION
• CEA Winslow, a leading figure in the history of public health,
defined the term public health as follows:
• "The science and art of preventing diseases, prolonging life and
promoting health and efficiency through organized community
efforts for the sanitation of the environment, the control of
community infections, the education of the individual in personal
health, the organization of medical and nursing services for the
early diagnosis and preventive treatment of disease and the
development of the society machinery which will ensure to every
individual in a community, a standard of living adequate for the
maintenance or improvement of health".
5. PHASES OF PUBLIC HEALTH
• In the history of public health, four distinct phases may be
demarcated.
1. Disease Control phase (1880 –1920)
2. Health promotional phase (1920–1960)
3. Social engineering phase (1960–1980)
4. 'Health for All' phase (1981–2000 AD)
6. 1) DISEASE CONTROL PHASE.....
(1880-1920)
Public health during the 19th century was largely a matter of
sanitary legislation and sanitary reforms aimed at the control of
man's physical environment, e,g., water supply, sewage
disposal, etc.
Clearly these measures were not aimed at the control of any
specific disease, however these measures vastly improved the
health of the people due to diseases and death control.
7. 2) HEALTH PROMOTIONAL PHASE....
(1920-1960)
• At the beginning of the 20th century a new concept, the concept of
"health promotion" began to take shape.
• It was realized that public health had neglected the citizen as an
individual and that the state had a direct responsibility for the health of
the individual. In addition to Disease Control activities, one more goal
was added to public health, that is, health promotion of individuals.
• It was initiated as personal health services such as mother and child
health services, school health services, industrial health services,
mental health and rehabilitation services.
8.
9. Since the state had assumed direct
responsibility for the health of the
individual, two great movements
were initiated for human
development during the first fault of
the present century, namely:-
A] Provision of basic health services
through the medium of Primary Health
centres and sub centres for rural and
urban areas is an important
development in the history of public
health.
B] The second great movement was the
community development program to
provide village development through
the active participation of the whole
community and by the initiative of the
community.
10. • 3) SOCIAL ENGINEERING PHASE....
(1960- 1980)
• With the advances in preventive medicine and practice of public
health, the pattern of disease began to change in the developed
world. Many of acute illness problems have been brought under
control.
• However, as old problems were solved, new health problems in the
form of chronic diseases began to emerge, e.g. cancer, diabetes,
cardiovascular diseases, alcoholism and drug addiction etc.
especially in the affluent societies.
11. • A new concept, the concept of risk
factors as determinants of these
diseases came into existence.
• The consequences of these
diseases, unlike the swift death
brought by the acute infectious
diseases, was to place a chronic
burden on the society that created
them fully. These problems brought
new challenges to public health which
needed reorientation more towards
social objectives.
12. PUBLIC HEALTH ENTERED A NEW PHASE IN
THE 1960S, DESCRIBED AS THE SOCIAL
ENGINEERING PHASE
13. NEW PRIORITY WERE GIVEN TO
Social and behavioral aspects of disease and health.
Public health moved into the preventive and
rehabilitative aspects of chronic diseases and
behavioral problems.
14. • 4) 'HEALTH FOR ALL' PHASE....
(1981- 2018 AD)
> As the centuries have unfolded, the glaring contrasts in the
picture of health in the developed and developing countries
came into a sharper focus despite advances in medicine.
> Most people in the developed countries, and the elite of the
developing countries, enjoy all the determinants of good health,
adequate income, nutrition, education, sanitation safe drinking
water and comprehensive health care.
> In contrast, only 10 to 20 percent of the population in the
developing countries enjoy ready access to health services of
any kind.
15. • The global conscience was stirred leading to a new awakening that the
health gap between rich and poor within countries and between
countries should be narrowed and ultimately eliminated.
• It is conceded that the neglected 80% of the world's population too have
an equal claim to healthcare, to protection from the killer diseases of
childhood, to Primary Health care for mothers and children, to treatment
for those ills that mankind has long ago learned to control, if not cure.
• Against this background, in 1981, the members of the WHO
pledged themselves to an ambitious target to provide health for all by
the year 2000 that is attainment of a level of health that will permit all
people to lead a socially and economically productive life.

was first appointed by the
World Health assembly on 9th
November 2006.
• She is responsible for
curbing communicable
diseases including
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and
other vaccine preventable
diseases.
22. EFFECTS OF
CHANGING
CONCEPT OF
PUBLIC
HEALTH.
One of the earliest examples of a public health system was during the
Roman times, when a system for disposing of human waste was
developed in order to prevent the population from disease.
One of the biggest accomplishments of worldwide public health programs
is immunization, and the eradication of diseases like polio because of
immunization.
One of the first examples of immunization came as early as 100 BC in
China. Children were inoculated against smallpox by putting the pus from
a lesion of an infected individual into a scratch on their arm to prevent
them from contracting the disease
Another example of the early public health programs was in the
14th century during the Black Death in Europe. Officials found that they
could stop the spread of disease by burning portions of the cities
where infestations had been so prevalent. We now know that the disease
was rodent borne. So, burning the cities killed off the infestations of rats
that were spreading the disease.
23. The idea of quarantining those with infectious diseases came about during the
medieval period. This was also an early example of a public health measure.
Even the development of regular garbage collection programs as cities grew is an
example of a public health program. Scientists quickly discovered how dangerous
garbage was to public.
One of the primary reasons that average life expectancy across the world has increased
so dramatically in the last few years is the development of public health systems which
have brought vaccinations public health departments and health education program to the
masses.
Today's public health departments focus their efforts on broadening public health's reach
through education in addition to the work they've performed for example, newer public
health programs often educating the people about risky behaviors such as obesity
alcoholism and unsafe sex. These programs seek to reduce the number of health issues
