Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal stem cell disorder caused by the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene from the Philadelphia chromosome. CML progresses through chronic, accelerated, and blast phases. It is characterized by excessive proliferation of myeloid cells. Diagnosis involves detecting the Philadelphia chromosome via cytogenetics or molecular testing. Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors targets the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein and controls disease progression.

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.

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.

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

Median Survival : 3-7 yrs ( Before 2000): 10 Years Survival 30%
(After 2000) : 10 Years Survival 85%
Mortality : 10-20% (before TKI)
02% (After TKI)
5. ETIOLOGY

• No monozygotic or other family member
• No relation with Benzine/fertilizer/insecticide /viruses.
• Not frequent after alkylating agent/ radiation
• After Nuclear accident/ Radiation Treatment = 5-10 yrs
• High Dose Radiation
6. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• The t(9;22) (q34;q11.2) > 90% of classical CML cases
• a balanced reciprocal translocation long arms of
chromosomes 9 and 22
• It is present in hematopoietic cells (but not stromal
cells)
• Not in other cells in the human body.
7. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY cont...
• ABL1 are translocated next to the major (BCR) gene
on chromosome 22,
BCR-ABL1 A hybrid oncogene
• p210BCR-ABL1 major BCR
• p190BCR-ABL1 (mBCR) -a worse outcome
• p230BCR-ABL1 (μ-BCR)-a more indolent course

9. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY cont...
This BCR-ABL1 exhibits --constitutive kinase activity –
• Excessive proliferation
• Reduced apoptosis
A Growth Advantage Over Their Normal Counterparts.
10. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY cont...
• The constitutive activation of BCR-ABL1 results in
autophosphorylation and activation of multiple
downstream pathways that modify
• Gene Transcription
• Apoptosis
• Skeletal Organization
• Degradation of Inhibitory Proteins
11. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY cont...
• These transduction pathways may involve RAS,
mitogenactivated protein (MAP) kinases, signal
transducers and activators of transcription (STAT),
phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3k), MYC, and others
• These interactions are mostly mediated through tyrosine
phosphorylation and require binding of BCR-ABL1 to
adapter proteins such as GRB-2, CRK, CRK-like (CRK-L)
protein, and Src homology containing proteins (SHC).
12. BCR-ABL1
The cause of the BCR-ABL1 molecular rearrangement is
unknown
Molecular techniques that detect BCR-ABL1 at a level of 1 in
100000000 identify this molecular abnormality in the blood of
• Up To 25% Of Normal Adults
• 5% Of Infants
• 0% Of Cord Blood Samples
This suggests that BCR-ABL1 is not sufficient to cause overt CML in
the overwhelming majority of individuals in whom it occurs.
Because CML develops in only 1.5 of 100,000 individuals
annually
13. TKI
• TKIs bind to
BCR-ABL1 kinase domain (KD)
• preventing the activation of transformation pathways
• inhibiting downstream signaling
As a result,
• proliferation of CML cell inhibited
• apoptosis induced
Leading to the reemergence of normal hematopoiesis

19. Hematologic Findings
• Leukocytosis ranging from 10–500 × 109/L
• Left-shifted hematopoiesis with predominance of
neutrophils and the presence of bands, myelocytes,
metamyelocytes, promyelocytes, and blasts (usually
≤5%)
• Basophils and/or eosinophils increased.
• Thrombocytosis is common
• Anemia is present in one-third of patients
20. Biochemical abnormalities
• Low Leukocyte Alkaline Phosphatase Score
• High Levels of Vitamin B12
Uric Acid
Lactic Dehydrogenase
Lysozyme.
The presence of unexplained and sustained leukocytosis,
with or without splenomegaly, should lead to a marrow
examination and cytogenetic analysis
21. Marrow Findings
• Hypercellular with marked myeloid hyperplasia
• High myeloid-to-erythroid ratio of 15–20:1
• Marrow blasts are 5% or less; when higher, they carry a
worse prognosis or represent acceleration (if they are
≥15%)
• Increased reticulin fibrosis (by Snook’s silver stain) is
common, with 30–40% of patients demonstrating grade
3–4 reticulin fibrosis.
22. Cytogenetic & Molecular studies
• t(9;22)(q34;q11.2), which is found in 90% of cases
• Philadelphia-chromosome abnormality
• Complex translocations (variantPh)
involving three or more translocations
masked Ph
• Prognosis & Rx Response – similar
• 5–10% of patients may have additional
chromosomal abnormalities
23. Cytogenetic & Molecular studies cont...
• FISH and PCR -diagnosis of CML more sensitive- CML burden
• peripheral samples
• FISH analysis - quantify the percentage of Ph-positive cells,
• if FISH is used to replace marrow cytogenetic analysis in monitoring
response to therapy.
• FISH may not detect additional chromosomal abnormalities (clonal
evolution); thus,
• a cytogenetic analysis is usually recommended at the time of
diagnosis.
24. Cytogenetic Response
• A partial cytogenetic response is defined as
the presence of 35% less Ph-positive
metaphases by routine cytogenetic analysis.
• This is roughly equivalent to BCR-
ABL1transcripts by the International Scale (IS)
of 10% or less.
25. Cytogenetic Response
• A complete cytogenetic response - the absence of Ph-
positive metaphases (0% Ph positivity).
• equivalent to BCR-ABL1 transcripts (IS) of 1% or less.
• Major molecular response - BCR-ABL1 transcripts (IS)
≤0.1%, or roughly a 3-log or greater reduction of CML
burden from baseline.
• A complete molecular response - BCR-ABL1 transcripts
(IS) <0.0032% (undetectable by current techniques),
roughly equivalent to a more than 4.5-log reduction of
CML burden from baseline
26. Findings in CML Transformation
• Progression of CML is usually associated with
leukocytosis resistant to therapy
• increasing anemia
• fever
• and constitutional symptoms
• increased blasts and basophils in the
peripheral blood or marrow.
27. Criteria of accelerated-phase CML
Historically associated with median survival of less than
1.5 years
• the presence of 15% or more peripheral blasts
• 30% or more peripheral blasts plus promyelocytes,
• 20% or more peripheral basophils
• cytogenetic clonal evolution (presence of chromosomal
abnormalities in addition to Ph),
• thrombocytopenia <100 × 109/L (unrelated to Therapy)
28. Criteria of accelerated-phase CML
• The median survival of accelerated phase
evolving from chronic phase has also
improved from a historical median survival of
18 months to an estimated 4-year survival rate
of 70% on TKI therapy.
• Therefore, the criteria for accelerated-phase
CML should be revisited because most have
lost much of their prognostic significance.
29. Blast Phase
• Blastic-phase CML is defined by the presence
of 30% or more peripheral or marrow blasts
• or the presence of sheets of blasts in
extramedullary disease (usually skin, soft
tissues, or lytic bone lesions).
