Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

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
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
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

22. Question 6
• The first known description of this condition was
given by Hippocrates in the 5th century
BCE.However,the name by which we know it is a
neologism coined by Rene Laennec in 1819 from
the Greek for "yellowish, tawny" (referring to the
orange-yellow colour of the diseased organ). On a
lighter note – PG Wodehouse called it a disease
to be proud of, because if you died of it, at least
people knew you had money because you need
to spend money to develop this disease.

profession but later on came to be specifically used for a
traditional healers, medicinal priests,sorcerers,an expert in
diagnosing diseases , people who can cure diseases with help of
spirits etc.
• X can be divided into 10 types – a person who masters all the
types is called a big/great X.

• The Balmis Expedition (1803–1806) was a three-year
mission to the Americas led by Dr. Francisco Javier de
Balmis. The expedition sailed on Maria Pita and carried
22 orphan boys (eight to ten years old) as the mainstay
of the mission.
• The person whose work they utilized wrote - "I don’t
imagine the annals of history furnish an example of
philanthropy so noble, so extensive as this."
• Considered the first international health mission, what
was the specific purpose of the mission and what role
did the orphan boys play in it?
32.
33. Answer 9
• Small Pox vaccination/ the boys acted as
successive careers of the disease.
34. Question 10
• This phenomenon is called Presque Vu (meaning –almost seen)
and is commonly referred to by the term ___ _ ___ _____ .The first
empirical research on this phenomenon was published in 1966 in
the Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior.
• There are two major competing explanations for its occurrence .
The direct-access view posits that the state occurs when memory
strength is not enough to recall, but is strong enough to trigger a
recall. The inferential view claims that this phenomenon isn’t
completely based on inaccessible, yet activated targets; rather
they arise when the rememberer tries to piece together different
clues about the memory. FITB

• Alexander Fleming’s Germ art. He did these
artwork on petri dishes using bacterial
colonies which release pigments of different
colours.
42. Question 12
• Subsequent adaptations and improvisations of the original
source have played up X’s role as a professional expert on a
particular type of entity to the extent of making it his primary
occupation, but according to the original source this doctor
from Holland’s primary expertise is that he “knows as much
about obscure diseases as any one in the world".
• He is further described thus – “ He is a philosopher and a
metaphysician, and one of the most advanced scientists of his
day, and he has, I believe, an absolutely open mind.”
• Who am I talking about?
45. Question 13
• Where specifically is snoring treated with a mixture
of cow dung and wood apple being rubbed on the
head followed by spinning the person 21 times and
hanging him for 21 hours ? In this place – you are

48. Question 14Francis Galton was a multifaceted personality from the 19th century
who made lasting contributions to several spheres of science and
mathematics- including several health related fields – isuch as using
statistical methods to the study of human differences and inheritance
of intelligence, and introduced the use of questionnaires and surveys
for collecting data on human communities for anthropometric
studies. He was a pioneer in eugenics, coining the term itself and the
phrase "nature versus nurture.”
• He was inspired to do all this by a book published by his cousin –
which transformed his life. Galton devoted much of the rest of his
life to exploring variation in human populations and its
implications, and other hypotheses put forward in the book.
• So who was his famous cousin?
51. Question 15
• Seeing XY said to be the earliest and most common
hallucination following intake of hallucinogenic
drugs and also in many cases of alcoholic
hallucinosis or delirium tremens. It is rare though
not impossible for the XY to actually exist in nature
– as a variety of albino X could be Y as well as white.
• The association between XY and alcohol is has
resulted in many cocktails being named XY.
54. Question 16
• X was one of the more successful female artistes of the 1970s
– and gained recognition and commercial success both as a
vocalist and a drummer. However she was a long term
sufferer from Y and ultimately died from complications of the
disease in 1983 at the young age of 32.
• Public awareness of Y was transformed by X ’s death. Her
young age (32) coupled with her fame as an entertainer
captured public attention and received extensive media
coverage. It prompted other celebrities, such as Jane Fonda
and Lynn Redgrave, to come forward and share their
struggles with Y. Give me X and Y(4 +6)
