a brief discussion of AAS, an analytical technique use for heavy metal analysis. Atomic absorption spectroscopy is a quantitative method of analysis of any kind of sample; that is applicable to many metals
AAS can be used to determine over 70 different elements in solution, or directly in solid samples via electro thermal vaporization.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is a very common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in samples.
It is very reliable and simple to use.
It also measures the concentration of metals in the sample.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is an analytical technique that measures the concentration of an element by measuring the amount of light that is absorbed at a characteristic wavelength when it passes through cloud of atoms
As the number of atoms in the light path increases, the amount of light absorbed increases.
Applications: Presence of metals as an impurity or in alloys can be perform.
Level of metals could be detected in tissue samples like Aluminum in blood and Copper in brain tissues.
Due to wear and tear there are different sorts of metals which are given in the lubrication oils which could be determined for the analysis of conditions of machines.
Determination of elements in the agricultural samples.
Water sample analysis (e.g. Ca, Mg, Fe, Si, Al, Ba content).
Food sample analysis.
Analysis of animal feedstuffs (e.g. Mn, Fe, Cu, Cr, Se, Zn).
Analysis of additives in lubricating oils and greases (Ba, Ca, Na, Li, Zn, Mg). analysis of soils.
Clinical sample analysis (blood samples: whole blood, plasma, serum; Ca, Mg, Li, Na, K, Fe).
Analysis of Environmental samples such as- drinking water, ocean water, soil.
Pharmaceutical sample Analysis: Estimation of zinc in insulin preparation, calcium in calcium salt is done by using AAS. Principle: The sample, in solution, is aspirated as a spray into a chamber, where it is mixed with air and fuel.
This mixture passes through baffles, here large drops fall and are drained off. Only fine droplets reach the flame.
Light from the hollow-cathode lamp passes through the sample of ground-state atoms in the flame.
The amount of light absorbed is proportional to the concentration.
The element being determined must be reduced to the elemental state, vaporized, and imposed in the beam of the radiation in the source.
When a ground-state atom absorbs light energy, an excited atom is produced.
The excited atom then returns to the ground state, emitting light of the same energy as it absorbed.
The flame sample thus contains a dynamic population of ground-state and excited atoms, both absorbing and emitting radiant energy. The emitted energy from the flame will go in all directions, and it will be a steady emission.
Because the purpose of the instrument is to measure the amount of light absorbed, the light detector must be able to distinguish between the light beam emitted by the hollow cathode lamp and that emitted by excited atoms in the flame.
All blood cells are derived from a pluripotent stem cell, through a process known as haemopoiesis. These stem cells have two important properties: self-renewal accompanied by proliferation (rapid increase), and differentiation into progenitor cells (like a stem cell, has a tendency to differentiate into a specific type of cell) committed to a specific cell line. Each of the cells produced has an important role-

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

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

Knee anatomy and clinical tests 2024.pdfvimalpl1234
This includes all relevant anatomy and clinical tests compiled from standard textbooks, Campbell,netter etc..It is comprehensive and best suited for orthopaedicians and orthopaedic residents.
3. • Flame photometry is a device used in
inorganic chemical analysis to determine to
conc. Of certain metal ions. Such as Sodium,
potassium, lithium and calcium.
• In flame photometry neutral atoms are
obtained by introduction of sample into flame.
Hence the name flame photometry since
radiation is emitted it is also called as flame
emission spectroscopy.
4. Principle
When a solution of metallic salt is sprayed as fine droplet
into a flame due to heat of the flame, the droplets dry
leaving a fine residue of salt. This fine residue converts into
neutral atoms.
Due to the thermal energy of the flame the atoms get
excited and there after return to ground state. In this
process of return to ground state excited atoms emit
radiation of specific wavelength. This wavelength of
radiation emitted is specific for every element.
This specific of wavelength of light emitted makes it a
quantitative aspect. While the intensity of radiation
depends on conc. Of the element.
5.
6. Components
1. Burner: - This is the part which produce excited atoms. Here the
sample solution is sprayed into fuel and oxidant combination. A
homogenous flame of stable intensity is produced.
2. Monochromator:-Filter and monochromator are needed to
isolate the light of specific wavelength from remaining light flame.
For this sample filter are sufficient as we are study only few
element like Ca, Na, K and Li. So a filter wheel with for each
element is taken. When a particular element is analyzed the
particular filter is used so that is filters all other wavelength.
3. Detector:- Flame photometric detector is similar to that used in
spectrophotometer. The emitted radiation is in the visible region
(400nm-700nm) further the radiation is specific for each element
so simple detectors are sufficient for purpose like photo voltaic
cells, photo tubes etc.
4. Record and Display:- These are the device to read out the
recording from detectors.
7. Flame photometry uses/Application
1. For qualitative analysis of samples by
comparison of spectrum emission
wavelength with that standards.
2. For quantitative analysis to determine the
conc. Of group IA and IIA elements.
Example- Na, K, Cl, etc.
8. Limitations
1. Limited number of elements that can be analyzed.
2. The sample requires to be introduced as solution into
droplets, many metallic salts, soil plants and other
compounds are insoluble in common solvents Hence
they cannot be analyzed by this method.
3. Since sample is volatilized if small amount of sample
present it is tough to analyze by this method. As some
it gets wasted by vaporization.
4. Further during solubilisation with solvents other
impurities might mix up with sample and may lead to
errors in the spectra observed.
10. • Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy was invented
by Alan Walsh in 1950’s for the qualitative
determination of trace metals in liquids. The
superiority of the technique over other is
based on the fact that by this technique 50-60
elements can be determined without any
interference from trace to big quantities.
11. Principle
When a solution having a mixture of metallic
species is introduced into the flame, the
solvent evaporates and vapour of metallic
species is obtained. Some of metal atoms can
be raised to an energy level sufficiently high to
emit characteristics radiation of metal-a
phenomenon that is used in flame
photometry. Here a large amount of metal
atoms remain in non-emitting ground state.
12. These ground state atoms of a particular
element are receptive of light radiation of
their own specific resonance wavelength. In
this way, when a light of this wavelength
passes through a flame, a part of light will be
absorbed and this absorption will be
proportional to the intensity of atoms in the
flame.
Note:- So in atomic absorption spectroscopy
the amount of light absorbed is determined
because the absorption is proportional to the
concentration of the element,
13.
14. Component of atom absorption
spectroscopy
The apparatus consist of:
a) Radiant Source.
b) Atomizer
c) Monochromator
d) Lenses and Slits and
e) Detectors.
15. a) Radiant Sources: Generally a hydrogen lamp is
used as continuous source of radiation.
b) Atomizer: Generally burners are used to break
the liquid sample into droplets which are then
allowed to enter into flame. The droplets are
then evaporated and sample element is left in
residue. The residue is then decomposed by
flame. Thus in this process the sample is
reduced to atoms.
c) Hollow Cathode Lamp: For atomic absorption
spectroscopy the radiation source is a hollow
cathode lamp (shown in figure).
16. It consists of the following parts:
Cathode: is made of the element to be determined or
coated with it.
Anode Anode is made of tungsten, zinconium or nickel.
Window is made of Pyrex glass depending on wavelength
of emitted radiation.
The lamp is filled with neon or argon gas.
17. d)Monochromator: Generally the
monocchromators are gratings and prisms.
e)Filters or slits: Filters or slits are used for isolation
of required spectral line if element has a simple
line spectrum. Filter photometers are used for
determination of potassium, sodium calcium,
magnesium etc. in samples.
f)Detectors: Generally photomultipliers are used as
detectors. In some instruments two filters and
two detectors are used to compensate the
fluctuation in the sources.
18. Applications
There are many applications for atomic absorption:
Clinical analysis (blood sample: whole blood,
plasma, serum; Ca, Mg, Li, Na, K, Fe)
Environmental analysis: Monitoring our
environmental – eg finding out the levels of
various elements in rivers, seawater, drinking
water, air, and petrol
Mining: By using AAS the amount of metals such
as gold in rock can be determined to see whether
it is worth mining the rocks to extract the gold.
19. Comparison between Atomic Absorption
and Emission Spectroscopy
Absorption Emission
Measure trace metal concentration in
complex matrices.
Measure trace metal concentration in
complex matrices.
Atomicabsorption depends upon the
number of ground state atoms.
Atomic emission depends upon the
number of excited atoms.
Itmeasures the radiation absorbed by
the ground state atoms.
It measures the radiation emitted by
the excited atoms.
Presence of a light source. Absence of the light source.
The temperature in the atomizer is
adjusted to atomize the analyte atoms
in the ground state only.
The temperature in the atomizer is big
enough to atomize the analyte atoms
and excite them to a higher energy
level.
