They are members of the family Coronaviridae, enveloped and positive stranded RNA viruses. The virions are typically decorated with large, club-or petal-shaped surface projections (spikes) which in electron micrographs of spherical particles create an image reminiscent of the solar corona.
Pathogenesis and Clinical manifestation
COVID-19 has 5 clinical variants based on severity;
• Asymptomatic form – in this form, one gets infected without manifesting any symptom whatsoever. The person thus ends up just as a mere carrier, spreading the infection to others.
• Mild disease –this affects the upper respiratory tract producing symptoms such as sneezing, mild fever, cough, malaise, etc; The infected individual recovers rapidly, with or without any supportive treatment.
• Moderate disease –this is a lower respiratory tract infection, which may present as pneumonia and would need some supportive treatment, but may not be sick enough to need oxygen therapy.
• Severe disease – this group develop severe pneumonia and get so sick that they need oxygen therapy.
• Critical disease – this group of patients get so bad and develop acute respiratory disease syndrome and ventilator respiratory failure, so much that they would need a ventilator to survive.

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

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

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
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.
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.

Dengue.pptx
1. Dengue
• Each year, up to 400 million people
get infected, 100 million people get
sick, and 40,000 die from severe
dengue
• Biological agent for dengue is a type
of flavivirus, 4 types of related
dengue-viruses (DV1, DV2, DV3 and
DV4). Single person can be infected 4
times
• Spread through the bite of infected
Aedes species (Ae. aegypti or Ae.
albopictus) mosquito (also vectors of
chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika
viruses) Image Credit @CDC
(CDC, 2021)
3. Distribution
Severe dengue was first recognized in the 1950s during dengue epidemics in the
Philippines and Thailand. Before 1970, only 9 countries had experienced severe
dengue epidemics.
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes originated in Africa, but they have spread through
tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Today, almost half of the
world’s population live in areas with a risk of dengue, including the Americas,
Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific Islands
Dengue fever is now considered the most critical mosquito-borne viral disease in
the world
Number of cases increased dramatically in recent years, WHO(2022) notes
increasing travel and trade, changing land patterns and climate crisis.
CDC,
2021
4. Transmission
Through infected mosquito
bites (Aedes species)
From mother to child
during birth
Through infected blood,
laboratory, or healthcare
setting exposures (rare)
CDC, 2021
WHO, 2022
Transmission
5. Symptoms
• Can be mild or severe.
• Develop within 4 to 10 days of infected mosquito
bite
• 1 in 4 infected will get sick
• Most common symptoms include fever (break-
bone fever), nausea, vomiting, rash, aches and
pains (behind the eyes) or any warning signs
• Warning signs usually begin 24-48 hours after the
fever is gone. Includes belly pain, tenderness,
vomiting, bleeding from nose or gums, blood in
vomit or stool, restlessness or fatigue
Severe Dengue
1 in 20 infected will develop severe symptoms
Can be life-threatening
Can result in shock, internal bleeding, and even
death
Past exposure increases the chances for severe
dengue
Pregnant women and infants at higher risk
Need to immediately see an HCP if any warning
signs
CDC, 2021
WHO, 2022
6. Diagnosis of Dengue
• Depending upon time of patient presentation, different diagnostic methods can
be used.
1. Virus isolation- Virus may be isolated from the blood during first few days of
infection, various RT–PCR tests can be performed
2. Virus may also be detected by testing for a virus-produced protein, called NS1
using rapid diagnostic tests.
3. Serological- Serological methods, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assays (ELISA), may confirm the presence of a recent or past infection
7. Treatment
• No specific treatment for dengue fever
• Patients should rest, stay hydrated and seek medical advice
• Supportive care such as fever reducers and pain killers (acetaminophen or
paracetamol) can be used to reduce pain and aches
WHO,
2022
8. History of Dengue in Brazil
• The first case described in Brazil in 1685.
• Aedes aegypti was eradicated in Brazil in the 1950s, but returned in the 1980s
• Endemo-epidemic outbreaks occurred every three to five years in Brazil until
2010
• In 2016, dengue cases exceeded 1.6 million, record high at the time
• In 2017 and 2018, the number of annually reported dengue cases declined to
~250,000, the lowest since 2005
• In 2019, dengue cases again rebounded, setting a new record of ~2.1 million
reported cases in Brazil
Brito et al, 2021
9. Current dengue situation in Brazil
• Currently, Brazil is the country with highest number of dengue cases worldwide
(In 2022, and as of February 7, Brazil already had 29,886 cases), alongside
high COVID-19 cases
• The Brazilian Ministry of Health reported 544,460 dengue cases, including 240
deaths, recorded between 3 January 2021 and 1 January 2022.
• Three out of four Brazilian municipalities are heavily infested with the
mosquito Ae. aegypti.
ECDC, 2022
Worldometer, 2022
10. Prevention and control measures for dengue in Brazil
Federal- provides guidelines
for vector control, allocates
resources to the states,
purchases insecticides and
equipment such as vehicles
with chemical sprayers
State - assist and
supervise municipalities,
acquire consumables
and small equipment
such as nylon nets and
lids for water tanks or
mosquito traps, and
gather information about
the municipalities
Municipal-
Operations such as
management of vector
control, professionals
and actions, following
central-level
recommendations.
• All three level of
government
responsible
• Dengvaxia vaccine
is approved but only
recommended for
individuals with a
history of dengue
infection
11. Vaccines for Dengue
• Dengvaxia was launched in 2016, with Philippines being the first country to access it. In 2017,
after 830,000 children received the first dose, a controversy emerged after alleged deaths of
healthy children following vaccination
• Currently, Dengvaxia is approved for use but only recommended for individuals with a history of
dengue infection. It is associated with an increased risk for hospitalization and severe dengue
among those who have their first natural infection after vaccination
• 3 doses of the vaccine is administered every 6 months
12. Challenges in controlling Dengue
• Reducing the density of Ae. aegypti, the main link in the transmission chain,
remains a challenge.
• Some vector control initiatives have been conducted like re-emphasizing
insecticide use, but most mosquito populations are resistant
• Initiatives such as sterilizing mosquitoes by genetic modification or irradiation or
even infecting mosquitoes with Wolbachia, have so far shown no success in
vector control
• Ongoing battle against water accumulation near dwellings in regions with
tropical and subtropical climates due to the insecure system of water supply,
sewage and solid waste collection, among others. These conditions favor the
proliferation of the Ae. aegypti mosquito in cities, making it difficult or almost
impossible to combat the vector
13. How to stop Dengue spread?
• Conduct community surveillance, remove sources of water for breeding as well as
control mosquito populations using adulticides/larvicides
• People should be educated on using measures to prevent mosquito bites like using
mosquito repellents, nets, mosquito traps, wear protective clothing, have well-screened
houses.
• Without vaccines, effective drugs, or sensitive diagnostic tests, the only available
response to reduce disease severity and case fatality is early intervention and clinical
management through enhanced care, supported by accessible, sensitive and specific
useful diagnostic tests
• It is important to continue to support the research for more effective diagnosis and
treatment of dengue and for new methodologies of vector control and disease
prevention.
