This document discusses drugs that can induce birth defects and the challenges of epidemiological research on this topic. It notes that 3-4% of live births experience major birth defects, and 40-90% of women consume at least one drug during pregnancy. Various drug classes like antibiotics, anticoagulants, NSAIDs, alcohol, and high-dose vitamin A are mentioned as potential teratogens. Methodological issues addressed include the rarity of specific birth defects requiring large sample sizes, recall bias in studies, and the need for cohort and case-control study designs. Solutions discussed involve different types of cohort studies and reviewing case reports to better understand adverse drug effects and design further research.

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.
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

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

2. THE NATURE OF BIRTH DEFECTS
AND THEIR RELATION TO DRUG
• Birth defects are part of the human condition
having been observed through out history.
• Major birth defects, typically defined as those
that are life threatening , require major surgery ,
or present a significant ability, affect appx. 3-4%
of live born infants.
• 40-90% women consume 1 drug during
pregnancy
5. CLINICAL PROBLEMS TO BE
ADDRESSED BY EPIDEMIOLOGY
RESEARCH:
• teratogenesis is a critical aspect of a drugs
benefit/risk profile, and such information obviously
should be available to prescribers and consumers.
• teratogenesis raises uniquely imp. And clinical
issues.
• First , the fetus is the “ innocent bystander with respect to
its mother therapy.
• Second ,teratogenesis is not a concern limited to women
who are pregnant when drug treatment is initiated ; it
must also be a concern among women who might become
pregnant after a drug is prescribed .
6. DRUGS KNOWN TO BE
TERATOGENIC:
• 3 approaches applied to the few drugs known to be
teratogenic .
1. in rare instances , such as was the case for thalidomide in
most countries , the drug was prohibited from the
general market.
2. For most known teratogens , such phenytion and
valporic acid , the absolute risk to the fetus is modestly
elevated and the drug is felt to fill and imp. Clinical need.
3. The third approach involves a formal program of
physician and patient education combined , in some
cases , with restricted access to the drug. The education
component is intended to assure that physicians and
their patients are informed about drug teratogenicity
and the importance of avoiding the pregnancy.
7. METHODOLOGIC PROBLEMS TO
ADDRESSED BY EPIDEMIOLOGY
RESEARCH:
• serious birth defects occur in apprx, 3-4% of live
born infants , we can’t consider birth defects as a
single , homogeneous outcome.
• In fact , physical birth defects include a wide
range of malformations that vary in many ways,
including their gestational timing , embryologic
tissue of origin , and mechanism of development.
8. SAMPLE SIZE
CONSIDERATIONS:
• The fact that epidemiology studies must consider
rates of specific birth defects has a dramatic
effect on sample size requirements, both for
estimating risk and for providing assurances of
safety.
• With respect to risk in a population of women
taking a given drug , cohort study with sample
size of a few hundred exposed pregnancies might
be sufficient to identify a doubling of 3-4%
overall rate of birth defects.
9. EXPOSURE
• 2 exposure:
1. Non prescribed drugs: effects of non
prescribed drugs on the fetus are largely
unstudied
2. Recall bias: case control, Recall bias is also
substantially increased when women are asked
about use according to various indications and
it is further increased when drugs are asked by
specific names.
10. CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
SOLUTIONS:
• Cohort and case study designs are the favored
approaches used to generate and test hypotheses
regarding drugs and birth defects.
• The overall rarity of birth defects, and particularly
specific defects, argues for the use of the case–
control design when exposure prevalence is
sufficiently high.
• Such studies may be conducted on an ad hoc basis
or within the context of case–control surveillance.
11. Cohorts
• Three types of cohorts relevant to the
pharmacoepidemiologic study of birth defects
1. studies designed to follow large populations
exposed to various agents,
2. use of data sets created for other purposes,
3. follow-up studies of selected exposures.
This approach involves following a population of
pregnant women with collection of data on
exposures, outcomes, and covariates.
12. Case Reports
• Review of well-documented case reports can
provide useful insight into the spectrum, severity,
and natural history of an adverse drug effect, as
well as its reversibility, predictability, and
preventability.
• Understanding these factors should be a critical
component of any decision to design or
implement an research program.
