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.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
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
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

This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
2. Cohort Study
Cohort study is undertaken to support the
existence of association between suspected cause
and disease
A major limitation of cross-sectional surveys and
case-control studies is difficulty in determining if
exposure or risk factor preceded the disease or
outcome.
4. What is Cohort ?
Ancient Roman military
unit, A band of warriors.
Persons banded together.
Group of persons with a
common statistical
characteristic. [Latin]
E.g. age, birth date,
5. What is Cohort ?
Cohort is a group of people who share common
characteristic or experience within the defined
period of time.
E.g. birth cohort, marriage cohort, Exposure
cohort, Synthetic cohort etc.
7. Indication of a Cohort study
When there is good evidence of exposure and
disease.
When exposure is rare but incidence of disease
is higher among exposed
When follow-up is easy, cohort is stable
When ample funds are available

17. General consideration while
selection of cohorts
Both the cohorts are free of the disease.
Both the groups should equally susceptible to
disease
Both the groups should be comparable
Diagnostic and eligibility criteria for the
disease should be defined well in advance.

Selection of study subjects
Obtaining data on exposure
Selection of comparison group
Follow up
Analysis
19. Selection of study subjects
General population
Whole population in an area
A representative sample
Special group of population
Select group
occupation group / professional group
Exposure groups
Person having exposure to some physical, chemical or biological
agent
e.g. X-ray exposure to radiologists
20. Obtaining data on exposure
Personal interviews / mailed questionnaire
Reviews of records
Dose of drug, radiation, type of surgery etc
Medical examination or special test
Blood pressure, serum cholesterol
21. Obtaining data on exposure
Environmental survey
Water, Air, Sanitation status etc.
By obtaining the data of exposure we can
classify cohorts as
Exposed and non exposed and
By degree exposure we can sub classify cohorts
22. Selection of comparison group
Internal comparison
Only one cohort involved in study
Sub classified and internal comparison done
External comparison
More than one cohort in the study for the purpose
of comparison
e.g. Cohort of radiologist compared with
ophthalmologists
23. Selection of comparison group
Comparison with general population rates
If no comparison group is available we can
compare the rates of study cohort with general
population.
Cancer rate of uranium miners with cancer in
general population
24. Follow-up
To obtain data about outcome to be
determined (morbidity or death)
Mailed questionnaire, telephone calls, personal
interviews
Periodic medical examination
Reviewing records
Surveillance of death records
Follow up is the most critical part of the study
25. Follow-up
Some loss to follow up is inevitable due to death
change of address, migration, change of
occupation.
Loss to follow-up is one of the draw-back of the
cohort study.
29. Estimation of risk
Relative Risk
incidence of disease among exposed
RR = ______________________________
Incidence of disease among non-exposed
a/a+b

c/c+d
30. Estimation of Risk
Attributable Risk
Incidence of disease among exposed –
incidence of disease among non exposed
AR = _______________________________
Incidence of disease among exposed
33. Incidence Rates
Incidence of lung cancer among smokers
70/7000 = 10 per 1000
Incidence of lung cancer among non-smokers
3/3000 = 1 per thousand
34. Relative Risk and Attributable Risk
RR = 10 / 1 = 10
(lung cancer is 10 times more common among
smokers than non smokers)
AR = 10 – 1 / 10 X 100
= 90 %
(90% of the cases of lung cancer among
smokers are attributed to their habit of smoking)
35. Strengths of Cohort studies
Can establish population-based incidence
Accurate relative risk (risk ratio) estimation
Can examine rare exposures (asbestos > lung
cancer)
can establish cause - effect
minimizes selection and information bias
36. Strengths of Cohort studies
•
Can be used where randomization is not
possible
•
Magnitude of a risk factor’s effect can be
quantified
•
More than one disease related to single exposure
•
Multiple outcomes can be studied (smoking >
lung cancer, COPD, larynx cancer)
37. Weaknesses of Cohort studies
Often requires large sample
long time to complete
expensive
Ethical issues
Non response, migration and loss-to-followup biases
Unexpected environmental changes may
influence the association
