The document discusses the accessory organs of the skin, including hair, nails, and glands. It describes the structure of hair follicles and how they produce hair. It notes the different types of glands in skin like sebaceous glands, which produce oil, and sweat glands, which are either eccrine or apocrine. Eccrine glands produce sweat across most of the body, while apocrine glands are in armpits and genital regions. The skin provides protection, regulates temperature, and acts as a sensory organ.
This presentation will give you a clear idea about the Integumentary system that what is it and what is it for and how it is very much essential for the body. Skin is the most important thing to be understood in this Integumentary system.

REGION OF THE INTEGUMENT
Integere is defined as to cover, which bring the meaning of integumentary. This system covers the body part that include human skin, nail, and hair. These integument works as defenses against foreign microbes, prevent microbial penetration wherever body tissues are exposed to the external environment. It also functions to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and regulate body temperature. In order to do these things, the integumentary system works with all the other systems of body, each of has a role to play in maintaining the internal conditions that a human body needs to function properly.
ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN THE INTEGUMENT
The most obvious external part that cover the human body is skin which has many
functions, most of which are involved in protecting and regulating body internal functions in a variety of ways:
Protects the body internal living tissues and organs
Protects against invasion by infectious organisms
Protects the body from dehydration
Protects the body against abrupt changes in temperature
Helps dispose of waste materials
Acts as a receptor for touch, pressure, pain, heat, and cold
Stores water and fat
The skin is not only a mechanical barrier between the external environment and the
underlying tissues but is dynamically involved in defense mechanisms and other
important functions as well.
Anatomy of Skin
The skin consists of two layers, an outer epidermis and an inner dermis.

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!

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

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
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

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.

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.

3. Accessory Structures of the Skin
Hair
A characteristic feature of the human skin is the
apparent lack of hair on most of the body
surface. This is actually not quite true. Most of
the skin is haired although the hair in most areas
is short, fine and only lightly pigmented.
Truly hairless are only the palms of hands and
soles of feet, the distal phalanges and sides of
fingers and toes and parts of the external
genitalia.
4. Hair (cont:)
In those parts of the skin which we perceive as "hairy" we find
terminal hairs. The free part of each hair is called the shaft.
The root of each hair is anchored in a tubular invagination of
the epidermis, the hair follicle, which extends down into the
dermis and, usually, a short distance into the hypodermis.
The hair that you groom daily is actually dead keratinized cells.
Each hair follicle has an associated bundle of smooth muscle,
the arrector pili muscle. This muscle inserts with one end to
the papillary layer of the dermis and with the other end to the
dermal sheath of the hair follicle. This makes your hair stand
up on its end.
5. Hair Color and Texture
Hair color is determined by the amount and type of
melanin present.
Melanocytes become less active with age. Gray
hair is a mixture of pigmented and non-pigmented
hairs.
Red hair results from a a modified type of melanin
that contains iron.
The shape of the hair shaft determines texture.
Round shaft – straight hair
Oval shaft – wavy hair
Flat shafts – curly or kinky hair
Perms use chemicals to flatten shafts and makes hair curly.
Alopecia is the term for hair loss.
6. Accessory Structures of the Skin
Nails
Plates of stratified squamous
epithelial cells with hard keratin
Protect distal ends of phalanges
Cells are keratinized in the nail root
Nail growth occurs in the lunula
Cuticle is a fold of stratum
corneum on the proximal end of
nail
7. Exocrine Glands
Sebaceous glands or oil glands are simple branched areolar glands. They
secrete the sebum (seb = oil) an oily product. Sebum is usually secreted into
a hair follicle. Sebum is a natural skin cream: it helps hair from becoming
brittle, prevents excessive evaporation of water from the skin, keeps the skin
soft and contains a bactericidal agent that inhibits the growth of certain
bacteria.
Sebaceous glands are scattered all over the surface of the skin except in the
palms, soles and the side of the feet.
Vernix caseosa - white covering on fetus. Blackhead
Pimple
8. Exocrine Glands
The exocrine gland are:
Sweat glands or sudoriferous glands are simple coiled
tubular glands. They are divided into two principal types:
eccrine and apocrine.
9. Exocrine Glands
Eccrine glands are the most common. Their secretory
portion can be located in the dermis or in the
hypodermis. They produce sweat, a watery mixture of
salts, antibodies and metabolic wastes. Sweat prevents
overheating of the body and thus helps regulate body
temperature.
10. Exocrine Glands
Apocrine glands are found mainly in the skin of the
armpits, of the anogenital areas and of the areola of the
breasts. Their secretory portion can be located in the
dermis or in the hypodermis. Their excretory ducts open
into hair follicles. Their secretion is more viscous than
that of the eccrine glands. They start secreting at puberty
and may be analogous to the sexual scent glands of
other animals.
12. Physiology of the Skin
Protection - the epidermis provides a barrier to
fluid loss from the body (this protective function is
impaired in patients with burns).
barrier function - intact skin prevents the entry of
micro-organisms into the body. Antimicrobial
proteins are produced by the epidermis - they act
by piercing holes in the outer membranes of
micro-organisms.
Resistance to wear and tear - continuous
replacement of the outer epidermal cells that
wear off - new cells are produced in the deepest
layer of the epidermis and gradually migrate
towards the surface
13. Skin can excrete water, salt, and small amounts of
waste products such as urea.
Vitamin D can be synthesized in skin exposed to
sunlight (vitamin D can also be obtained from the
diet)
The skin provides a barrier to ultraviolet light. The
melanocytes contain melanin, which absorbs UV
radiation, and also distribute the pigment to
neighboring cells. Skin exposed to sunlight
becomes wrinkled and creased. Changes seem to
be due to disruption of collagen and elastin in
dermis, and loss of fibroblasts which make new
proteins.
14. The integumentary system is well-
supplied with receptors for touch,
pain, temperature, vibration and
pressure
Sensory information is relayed to
the central nervous system via
sensory nerves
Social interactions are influenced
by facial expressions, blushing,
touching, etc.
15. Fun Facts
House dust is mainly skin flakes!
If you laid out all your skin on a flat surface, it would have
an area of about 2 square meters.
Skin weighs about 2.5 kilograms - the largest organ in the
body.
What hurts if you pull it, but doesn't hurt if you cut it? Your
hair, of course!
Skin is elastic - it springs back into shape when stretched.
Some medicines (estrogen, nicotine) can pass through the
skin, but others cannot (insulin). Why is that? Because
only fat-soluble substances can enter the skin, not water-
soluble ones.
Your hair stands on end and you develop 'goose bumps'
because there are tiny muscles attached to the hair
follicles and they contract when you are frightened or cold.
