Blood is the main body fluid which delivers necessary nutrients to cells and wastes away from the same cells. Blood disorders are when something in your blood prevents it from doing its job. While some blood disorders are caused by genes, some can develop as a result of other diseases, medications or a lack of nutrients in your diet.
Purpose:
The Purpose of this webinar is to bring knowledge and awareness about blood disorders and their management.

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

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

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.
2. What Are Blood Disorders?
• Any health condition in which
something is wrong with part of
the blood is a blood disorder.
Some blood disorders are cancers.
Common blood cancers include:
• • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
• • Acute myeloid leukemia
• • Multiple myeloma
• Other blood disorders are benign
(not cancerous). Both cancerous
and benign blood disorders can
affect the whole body.
3. Inside Your Blood
• To understand blood
disorders, it helps to know
a little bit about blood. It
has different parts: red
blood cells, white blood
cells, and platelets. They
each have different jobs.
Red blood cells carry
oxygen. White blood cells
fight infection. Platelets
help our blood to clot after
an injury. The liquid part
that carries these cells and
other substances is plasma.
4. • When there aren’t enough red blood
cells, doctors call this anemia.
• When there aren’t enough white
blood cells, doctors call this
leukopenia.
• When there aren’t enough platelets,
doctors call this thrombocytopenia.
Sometimes there are too many of
certain blood cells. Other times, the
blood has too little or too much of
something it needs to work normally,
such as a clotting factor
What happens in blood disorders?
5. Symptoms of Blood Disorders
Blood disorders can cause symptoms anywhere in the body. Some common symptoms include:
Bleeding
Bruising
Swollen lymph nodes
Fatigue
Weakness
Shortness of breath
Fevers
Infection
The symptoms
will depend on
which blood
disorder it is
and which part
of the blood
isn’t working
normally. Many
other things can
cause those
symptoms
6. There are several different
types of causes. Many blood
disorders are genetic and
passed down from one
generation to the next.
happen as a result of other
diseases
What Causes Blood Disorders?
Some happen as a side effect
of certain medicines or when
people don’t get enough of
certain nutrients in their diets.
Sometimes doctors don’t know
the cause.
7. Iron-Deficiency Anemia
There are many types of
Iron-deficiency anemia is a
one that happens when people
don’t have enough iron. Your
body needs iron to make
red blood cells. This type of
may happen if you don’t get
iron in the food you eat or
doesn’t take iron in well.
other health conditions lead to
type of anemia. Treatments
include iron supplements,
iron-rich foods, iron
infusions, or blood
transfusions.
8. Sickle cell disease, or sickle cell anemia, is
an inherited blood disorder. It happens
when an abnormal protein in red blood
cells makes them hard, sticky, and
shaped like a letter “C.” These abnormal
abnormal red cell die, causing anemia.
They also can get stuck in small blood
vessels to cause pain, stroke, or other
problems. Medicines can help to prevent
these complications.
Sickle Cell Disease
9. Thalassemias are also inherited.
They happen when a faulty gene
causes the body to make too few
red blood cells and hemoglobin.
Thalassemias
10. A missing or faulty protein
causes this inherited
disease.The body needs
this protein for blood to
clot normally. So, people
with this condition often
have excessive bleeding
bleeding and bruising.
Doctors treat it with
medicines that replace the
missing protein or make
cells release more of it
Von
Willebrand
Disease
11. Hemophilia
Hemophilia is another
inherited bleeding
happens in people who
one of two other
important clotting factor
proteins. Doctors treat it
with infusions to replace
missing factor.
12. Venous Thromboembolism
This disorder happens when a blood clot forms in deep veins. If the
leg or pelvis, doctors call it deep vein thrombosis (DVT). If a clot
travels to the lungs, doctors call it pulmonary embolism. It happens
after surgery, injury, or in people with other health conditions.
medications to prevent clotting or procedures to remove or catch
13. Leukemia
Leukemia is a blood cancer in which the
body makes abnormal blood cells.
Usually, but not always, these are
abnormal white blood cells. The
abnormal leukemia cells can crowd out
other blood cells. There are many types
of leukemia, which can be either acute or
chronic. Treatments include
chemotherapy, targeted therapy,
radiation, and stem cell transplant
14. Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is another type of
blood cancer. It happens when the bone
marrow makes too many of certain white
blood cells. As a result, people with
multiple myeloma can have too few of
other white blood cells, red blood cells,
or platelets in their blood. Treatment
may include surgery, radiation,
medicines, or stem cell transplant
15. Diagnosing Blood Disorders
If a doctor thinks you might have a blood disorder, they will ask you questions and
tests. Blood tests can tell if your blood cell counts are in the normal range and if
they look healthy. Doctors may order a genetic test. Sometimes they might test
marrow, too, since bone marrow makes new blood cells. A primary care doctor
might order some of these tests. You might also see a hematologist, a doctor who
