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

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
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

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.

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.

• Disclaimer – The author is not responsible for any person’s using this guide or for their interpretation of it.
• Hip arthroscopy rehabilitation should be done under the care of a suitably qualified Chartered Physiotherapist or
equivalent therapist, and any concerns raised immediately to your Hip Surgeon.
• DO NOT USE THIS GUIDE TO REPLACE ADVICE FROM YOUR SURGEON OR THERAPIST.
• DO NOT USE IT TO REPLACE GOING FOR FACE TO FACE INDIVIDUAL CARE
• This guide is not intended to replace your Surgeon’s protocol, but to be used alongside it. Louise has gathered together hip
arthroscopy guides/protocols from around the world, research papers and books, her learning from attending international hip
conferences, and from individual teaching from top hip arthroscopy surgeons, to personally formulate this amalgamation of
material. She has also collected data, recording her own patient’s experiences of hip arthroscopy rehabilitation over the last 10+
years that has helped mould this booklet and have a clinician’s perspective based a wide variety of cases rather than a research
study sample (these have age, health factors, sports and joint condition criteria and so make recommendations based on a certain
group of the population). This guide is general, and can not cover every eventuality. It also needs to be highlighted that some
patients having the surgery have suffered for a long time and maybe in a physically depleted state and they are going to be at a
different starting point to an athlete who is fit, strong and having immediate surgery on an acute labral tear.

THE ‘HAPI’ STUDY
PRE-OPERATIVE EXERCISES FOR
HIP ARTHROSCOPY SURGERY
• The HAPI program was designed in 2012 to address the specific muscle weakness in the hip flexors,
extensors, external rotators, adductors and abductors which have been identified in FAIS acetabular labral
tear subjects 26, 27, 28. As the study was a controlled research trial, all the patients had to do the same plan
so I could compare the effects of a set intervention.
• We also looked at the research in a wider sense to include calf strengthening, as Lewis et al 29 presented
findings to suggest increased ankle push-off could help decrease forces through the hip. We noted that
anecdotally many papers commonly reported hip flexor tightness; therefore gentle mobility work was
incorporated 30,31. Another very common feature we noticed in clinical practice was a weak, poorly controlled
single leg squat, so we thought it a good idea to try and improve that functional movement. This movement
was found to be a pre-operative indicator of post-operative function in total hip replacement patients in a study
published in 2011 32 . Since then there has been evidence published in 2016 stating 1 to 2 years after hip
arthroscopy, deficits in single-leg squat performance exist that have the potential to increase hip joint
impingement and perpetuate postoperative symptoms 33 .

HIP ARTHROSCOPY REHABILITATION
THE EVIDENCE
• What research is out there for us to base our protocol on?
• There are many papers with clinical commentaries on hip arthroscopy rehabilitation 46,47,48, case series studies 49,50,,
but only one randomized controlled trial (RCT) - the FAIR trial 51 .
• In a study published in 2018, 28 Surgeons and 62 Physios in Scandanavia both rated physiotherapy as an important
part in the rehab process and advocated a progression based on a combination of a criteria and time 52.
• Published in December 2020, a systematic review concluded phase based rehab protocols can help achieve
predictable improved outcomes 65 .
• In 2021 the International Society for Hip Arthroscopy Physiotherapy group published their consensus 93 statement on
how FAIS should be assessed and treated and guidelines for hip arthroscopy rehabilitation.

HIP ARTHROSCOPY REHABILITATION - PHASES OF REHAB
• Staging a guide that is time framed is not always realistic, and can cause some patients huge distress when they
feel they are not meeting time bound goals, therefore we have set out four phases of post-op rehab, where there
may be an overlap of phases. The ‘weeks’ associated with each phase are not set in stone and only there as a
general guide.
• Each patient will have different goals. If a non-athletic patient is pain free, with good symmetrical range of
movement and power, is back at work/hobbies, and is happy with this recovery, it may not be appropriate to push
them to do exercises aimed at elite sports people, such as in Phase four. Thus, for these patients, their end point
may be Phase three exercises but possibly carried on for a longer period of time.
• In this guide there are criteria to be met, and relevant tasks to be performed satisfactorily before moving
onto the next phase.

NOTE ON PHASE THREE
• Phase three may be the final stage of rehab for
some patients
• The exercises in Phase Four may be not appropriate or necessary for what level of
recovery they are aiming for.
• If your level is getting back to Pilates, walking, swimming and a bit of cycling, then
achieving the goals for Phase Three may be enough and it may be that you need to
spend longer than 4 weeks at this level. It can be a good idea to continue with a
maintenance set of exercises you do 2-3 times a week once recovered.
• However, for running, football, tennis, martial arts which involve speed, quick changes
of direction and explosive movements, Phase Four is necessary.

Phase four is not for
everyone – discuss

HIP ARTHROSCOPY REHABILITATION
A FINAL WORD
It is not unusual to have a rehab journey that has ups and downs. If you were to draw a graph of recovery, it is often not linear
but more resembling a roller coaster. If you have a flare-up, the key is to assess why you may have had a backward step and
to trouble shoot it and maybe seek help from your Physio or Surgeon.
Sometimes the cause can be doing exercises that are too advanced – mastery of the basics are essential, so they may need
re-visiting. Sometimes it can be neglecting specific maintenance exercises or not having a balance of a variety of exercises.
Are you overdoing one particular activity? Repeating the same movement too much? Or have you been sat or stood in a way
your hip doesn’t like.
Know your hip, and understand that although hip arthroscopy aims to repair the cartilage (where possible) and change the
boney architecture to reduce impingement problems, there are some things it can not change. Speak to your Surgeon and
Physio about what are realistic expectations with your individual, unique hip.
And finally, try not to compare yourself to others. We are all different. Be kind to yourself and your own special hip !
