This document discusses long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and potential risks and conditions for use. It notes that long-term PPI use has been associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dementia, though the relationships are uncertain. For conditions like GERD, NSAID use, and Barrett's esophagus, the benefits of PPIs usually outweigh the small and uncertain risks. The document provides guidance on what to tell patients about risk/benefit assessments and recommends the lowest effective dose and intermittent use when possible to reduce potential side effects.

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
New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
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.

2. Introduction:
• The possible side effects of Long-term PPIs include:
• Gastric carcinoids
• Gastric carcinoma
• Decreased absorption of minerals (e.g., iron, calcium)/ vitamin B-
12,magnesium.
• Fractures.
• Enteric infections (e.g., C . difficile.)
• Pneumonia.
• CV events.
• Recently associations with (CKD) &dementia.
3. Long-term PPI side effects : CVD,CKD,Dementia:
• Hazard ratios for PPI use & dementia or CKD were ≤1.5 &when
hazard ratio<2 , it is not possible to determine whether the
association is valid or the result of residual bias.
• if a true cause-&-effect exists, even small effect sizes can result in
meaningful risk for common interventions&conditions.
4. CONDITIONS WITH POTENTIAL LONG-TERM PPI USE:GERD
• Most GERD patients (2/3 with erosive esophagitis) who stopped
therapy after heartburn resolution did well with intermittent 2–4-
week courses of daily therapy reinstituted if twice-weekly
heartburn recurred: 70% had 0–1 relapses& 30% changed to daily
PPI during almost 1-year follow-up.
• 80–100% are willing to continue on-demand therapy, with 60–80%
decrease in PPI consumption compared with daily therapy.
• Guidelines recommend erosive esophagitis to remain on daily
maintenance PPI due to the higher risk of recurrent erosions, but no
data document that lack of daily PPI are harmful or increases the
risk of developing Barrett’s &complications as stricture,so
improvement in symptoms &QOL is the primary goal.
• Even when PPIs are prescribed daily, patients commonly stop &
start therapy, defining their own adequate symptom control.
5. CONDITIONS WITH LONG-TERM PPI USE: Barrett’s
• PPIs may decrease progression to neoplastic Barrett’s esophagus
• ACG guidelines recommend that patients with Barrett’s esophagus
receive once-daily PPI but this “deserve consideration” without refl
ux symptoms .
• AGA guidelines recommend that risks&potential benefits of long-
term PPI be discussed carefully with Barrett’s patients given the
0.1% annual risk for progression of non-dysplastic Barrett’s
esophagus to adenocarcinoma ,any absolute beneft will be small.
6. CONDITIONS WITH LONG-TERM PPI USE: NSAIDs
• Guidelines recommend PPI or misoprostol co-therapy in NSAID
users with increased risk for bleeding:
• Age >65 years
• High dose/ multiple NSAIDs.
• Prior ulcer
• Concurrent anti-thrombotics or corticosteroids.
• RCTs document that PPI co-therapy decreases endoscopic ulcers
&recurrent ulcer bleeding.
7. CONDITIONS WITH LONG-TERM PPI USE: Anti-platelets
• Guidelines recommend PPIs in patients with increased risk of
bleeding:
• H/O ulcer or GIB.
• Concomitant anti-thrombotic.
• Age>60 years plus corticosteroid therapy.
• In low-dose aspirin users PPIs reduce endoscopic ulcers ( 20 ),
recurrent ulcer bleeding &in those taking concomitant clopidogrel,
UGIB.
8. CONDITIONS WITH LONG-TERM PPI USE: Dyspepsia
• PPI therapy is recommended for patients ≤55 years of age with
uninvestigated dyspepsia who are H . pylori negative or in
populations with H. pylori prevalence <10% & it is more effective
than placebo, antacids, or H2RAs.
• A 4–8-week course is suggested, with another course if symptoms
recur.
• Guidelines do not specifically recommend long-term daily PPIs but
patients who respond can be managed without further
investigation & long-term self-directed therapy may be considered.
• PPI has a smaller benefit for functional dyspepsia: number-needed-
to-treat=10–15.
9. LONG-TERM PPI USE: what to tell patients
• Dementia &CKD
• We cannot conclude that these associations are valid&patients
should not accept these reports as fact,but we cannot conclude that
risks do not exist.
• But benefits outweigh potential risk.
• If PPIs are indicated, using the lowest effective dose &if possible,
intermittent rather than daily therapy hopefully should decrease
the risk of potential side effects.
• NSAIDs/anti-platelets
10. LONG-TERM PPI USE: what to tell patients
• NSAIDs/anti-platelets
• The benefi t of daily PPI in high-risk patients taking NSAIDs&/or
anti-platelet agents is well documented and exceeds the small &
uncertain risks.
11. LONG-TERM PPI USE: what to tell patients
• GERD:
• We suggest that patients taking PPIs for GERD stop therapy >2
weeks after symptoms resolve, use H2RAs or antacids for
infrequent symptoms, employ adjunctive life-style modifications, &
institute intermittent PPI courses of ≥2–4 weeks for symptom
recurrence (≥2 episodes per week)& On-demand therapy is also
reasonable.
• If patients require daily PPI to control symptoms, we reassure them:
the gain in quality-adjusted-life-years with long-term symptom
control in all such patients should far exceed any decrease due to
possible rare, serious adverse events.
• In patients greatly concerned about side effects, the reduced quality
of life due to worry about side effects may exceed the gain achieved
with symptom control& patients may choose to accept symptoms
or try other therapies (e.g., surgery).
12. LONG-TERM PPI USE: what to tell patients
• Barrett’s esophagus
• In Barrett’s patients not requiring daily PPI for GERD symptoms, we
suggest that the absolute risk reduction in cancer with daily trt is
uncertain & low (1% in 15–20 years assuming 50–67% relative risk
reduction), as is the risk of serious adverse events.
• Patient preference is key in decisions regarding long-term PPIs in
patients with GERD or Barrett’s esophagus.
13. LONG-TERM PPI USE: what to tell patients
• Dyspepsia
• If PPIs are effective we use intermittent therapy, although some
patients may require long-term daily PPIs to control symptoms.
14. LONG-TERM PPI USE: what to tell patients
• Inappropriate/unstated indications:
• The most important intervention we perform is stopping PPIs in the
many patients without appropriate indications.
• For example, many hospitalized patients receive PPIs, which are
then continued as outpatient treatment& PPI use is inappropriate in
~70–80% of these patients.
• Even uncertain rare risk is unacceptable if a medication provides no
clear benefit.
15.
16. Complementary/ Alternative Medicine Induced ALF:
• CAM-induced DILI is at least as severe in presentation as that
observed due to PM with higher rates of transplantation &
lower transplant-free survival in those who progress to ALF.
• There is increasing incidence of CAM-induced liver injury &
emphasizes the importance of early referral /evaluation for
liver transplantation when CAM-induced liver injury is
suspected.
