Although not yet fully mainstream, functional programming has finally reached a critical mass of awareness among developers. The problem, however, is that many developers are up against an even greater critical mass of existing code. Much of this code purports to be object oriented, but beyond the use of the class keyword, falls somewhat short of putting the OO to good use.
Many techniques identified as functional have broader applicability. This session will explore how some FP habits can be incorporated into OOP practice.

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
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
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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:

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

Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
2. Objectives
• Provide an overview of nursing informatics’
historical development.
• Explore the concept of nurses as knowledge
workers.
• Discuss the evolving roles and competencies
of nursing informatics practice.
3. Introduction
• The world has witnessed an unprecedented number of
technological advances during the last 100 years.
• The early 20th century witnessed the invention of the
car and the airplane. These modes of transportation
drastically changed how people work and play.
• The entertainment world was dramatically altered by
the invention of radio and television.
• The introduction of the computer altered the way data
and information were viewed and utilized and changed
the way business was conducted.
• The computer is changing nursing and health care.
4. WHAT IS NURSING INFORMATICS?
• The term informatics was derived from the
French term informatique, which means to
refer to the computer milieu (Saba, 2001).
• The Health Information and Management
Systems Society (HIMSS) defines informatics
as “the discipline concerned with the study of
information and manipulation of information
via computer-based tools” (2006, p. 44).
5. History
• Health care began to use computers in the 1950s.
• Computers, in this era, were typically used in the business office
to track financial aspects of health care (Saba & McCormick,
2006).
• In the 1970s, nursing began to realize the importance of
computers to the nursing profession and became involved in the
design, purchase, and implementation of information systems
(Saba & McCormick, 2006).
• In the 1980s, medical and nursing informatics specialties
emerged. The personal computer was introduced, which allowed
for flexibility in how these clinical systems were used. It also
brought to everyone’s attention that not just NI specialists, but
all healthcare personnel, would need to know about these
systems (Hannah et al., 2006; Saba & McCormick, 2006).
6. History (con’t)
• The first certification exam for NI was taken in 1995
(Saba & McCormick). The post-2000 era saw an
unprecedented explosion in the number and
sophistication of both computer hardware and
software. Electronic patient records became an integral
part of clinical information systems.
• Telemedicine became possible and was recognized as a
specialty in the late 1990s (Saba & McCormick,2006).
• NI has experienced rapid growth in the last 40 years,
and it does not appear to be slowing. It will be
interesting to see what will happen over the next 40
years.
7. Goal of Nursing Informatics
• In 2008, ANA updated the Scope and
Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice.
ANA lists the goal of NI as: “The goal of NI is to
improve the health of populations,
communities, families, and individuals by
optimizing information management and
communication (p.1)”.
8. The Nurse as a Knowledge Worker
• It has been established that nurses use data and
information. This information is then converted to
knowledge. The nurse then acts upon this knowledge
by initiating a plan of care, updating an existing one
or maintaining status quo.
• Knowledge can be defined as “the distillation of
information that has been collected, classified,
organized, integrated, abstracted, and value added”
(HIMSS, 2006, p. 49).
9. The Nurse as a Knowledge Worker
• The term knowledge worker was first coined by Peter
Drucker in his 1959 book, Landmarks of Tomorrow
(Drucker, 1994).
• Knowledge work is defined as nonrepetitive,
nonroutine work that entails a significant amount of
cognitive activity (Sorrells-Jones & Weaver, 1999a).
• Drucker (1994) describes a knowledge worker as one
who has advanced formal education and is able to
apply theoretical and analytical knowledge.
10. The Knowledge Needs and
Competencies of Nurses
• The amount of information available is vast
and expanding exponentially, which makes the
healthcare industry the most knowledge-
intense environment (Snyder-Halpern,
Corcoran-Perry, & Narayan, 2001).
• Computers, technology, and the informatics
fields are assisting healthcare workers in
dealing with this information explosion.
11. Knowledge Needs
• Nurses rely on an extensive amount of clinical
information and specialized knowledge in order to
evaluate the processes they have implemented and
measure the corresponding outcomes (Snyder-Halpern,
Corcoran-Perry, & Narayan, 2001).
• Nurses rely on their own knowledge, but there are
times when this is not adequate and they must access
information in order to provide safe patient care. A
national survey was conducted and found that
consulting a peer was the most frequent way that
information was obtained.
12. Nursing Informatics Competencies
• One challenge that health care is currently
facing is the vast differences in computer
literacy and information management skills
that healthcare workers possess (McNeil,
Elfrink, Beyea, Pierce, & Bickford, 2006).
• Staggers, Gassert, & Curran (2001) believe
that nursing students and practicing nurses
should be educated on core NI competencies.
13. What Is Nursing Informatics
Specialty Practice?
• NI is an established and ever-evolving
profession that began when computers were
introduced into health care.
• Nursing Contributes to Healthcare Informatics
• Scopes and Standards: NI is important to
nursing and health care as it focuses on
representing nursing data, information, and
knowledge.
14. Nursing Informatics Roles
• The roles that the INS may engage in are
numerous. One position that nurses do quite
well in is the role of the project manager,
which is a result of their ability to manage
multiple complex situations at one time
(HIMSS Nursing Informatics Awareness Task
Force).
15. Specialty Education and Certification
• Nurses who choose to specialize in nursing informatics have
two certifications available to them.
• The first is through the American Nurses Credentialing
Center (ANCC). The ANCC exam is specific for the
informatics nurse. The applicant must be a licensed
registered nurse (RN) with at least 2 years of recent
experience and have a baccalaureate degree in nursing
(BS/BSN). The applicant must have completed 30 contact
hours of continuing education in informatics.
• The second certification exam is sponsored by HIMSS.
Candidates who successfully pass this exam will carry the
designation of certified professional in healthcare
information and management systems (CPHIMS).
16. Rewards of NI Practice
• The INS participates in informatics
organizations that allow INSs to network and
share experiences with each other. This allows
them to bring these new solutions back to
their respective organizations and improve
informatics issues.
17. Summary
• Nursing informatics is an emerging relatively nursing
specialty that combines nursing science, information
science, and computer science.
• Informatics practices support nurses to effectively and
safely care for their patients as the information that
they need is made more readily available.
• Nurses have been actively involved in this field since
computers were introduced to health care.
• With the advent of EHRs, it became apparent that
nursing needed to develop its own terminology and NI
has been instrumental in this process..
