MRI mammography is more accurate than mammography in detecting breast diseases. A study compared MRI and mammography on 15 patients and found MRI detected 12 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in the right breast that mammography missed, and 10 cases of DCIS in the left breast that mammography also missed. MRI mammography had a sensitivity of 100% while mammography's sensitivity was only 18% in detecting breast cancers. MRI is better able to detect lesions obscured by dense breast tissue and can find additional, missed tumors in the other breast of cancer patients. However, further large-scale studies are still needed to continue validating MRI mammography.

It concerns about neoplastic tissue's elasticity and breast elastography.
Physicians have used palpation to detect differences in tissue stiffness as an aid to diagnosis based on the fact that the mechanical properties of tissues are often dramatically affected by the presence of disease processes such as cancer, inflammation, and fibrosis. Elastography depends on the same differences in mechanical properties between healthy and abnormal tissues using imaging to detect these differences at depths not reachable by manual palpation and presents data in color-coded display, can be performed with ultrasound, using manual pressure or low frequency sonic waves, or by MR Elastography imaging.

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

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

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.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

mammography:
some palpable or non palpable lesion is not visible by
mammography (Kopans, 1992).
radiodense breast tissue can obscure cancer
mammography also is not good enough to differentiate whether the
lesion is benign or malignant (Kopans, 1992).

22. EXPLANATION OF BIRADSEXPLANATION OF BIRADS
CATEGORYCATEGORY
CE-MRI is the fact that tumors enhance and enhance more than
normal tissues.
Tumors need many blood vessels to grow;
the concentration of the contrast agent at their location will be
higher than in surrounding tissues
appear as brighter areas in the images.
For MRI mammogram, BIRADS categories are categorized
according to the enhancement curve for different types of
tissues.
(Mehnert et al., 2006)
23. Type of
curve: BIRADS Explanation
Type I a. BIRADS 1 (negative)
A kinetic behavior with a persistent uptake is considered a sign of
benignity
b. BIRADS 2 (benign)
Type II BIRADS 3 (probably benign)
A kinetic behavior with a clear plateau phase can be found both in
benign and in malignant features
Type III
BIRADS 4 (suspicious abnormality)
or BIRADS 5 (highly suspicious of
malignancy)
Kinetic behavior with a strong uptake followed by a rapid washout
is considered a sign of malignancy
Enhancement curve for different types of tissues
Mehnert et al. (2006)
24. SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITYSENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY
Sensitivity of the right breast:
Out of 15 films, 12 films of MRI mammogram that show BIRADS 3
and above
11 was proven by biopsy confirmed have ductal carcinoma in situ
(DCIS).
Only 1 film actually only benign finding.
Specificity of the right breast:
3 films of MRI mammogram show BIRADS 1 and 2
all was reported as the same as previous radiologist’s report which
confirmed negative for cancer.
25. SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITYSENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY
Sensitivity of the left breast:
Out of 14 films, 10 films of MRI mammogram that show BIRADS 3
and above
10 was proven by biopsy confirmed have ductal carcinoma in situ
(DCIS).
Specificity of the left breast:
4 films of MRI mammogram show BIRADS 1 and 2
all was reported as the same as previous radiologist’s report which
confirmed negative for cancer.
26. SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITYSENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY
The sensitivity for malignant lesion detection for both right and
left breast was:
100 % for MRI mammogram
18 % for mammography.
Out of 21 samples with DCIS;
Mammography identified 2 cases (10%)
MRI mammography identified 21 cases (100%).
Overall mammograms missed up to 90 % of the breast cancers
that are present at the time of screening.
