The document discusses various viral infections that can cause meningoencephalitis and myelitis. It provides details on imaging findings and differential diagnoses for different viruses. Key points include that herpes simplex virus is a common cause of viral encephalitis in the US. Japanese encephalitis virus typically causes bilateral thalamic hyperintensities on MRI. Congenital cytomegalovirus can cause microcephaly, cerebral calcifications, and cerebellar hypoplasia. HIV encephalitis is suggested by atrophy and symmetric periventricular or diffuse white matter disease on MRI.

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

GMC Kota
2. Viral Infections of CNS
Hundreds of viruses exhibit tropism for the central
(CNS) and/or peripheral (PNS) nervous systems.
Viral infection of the nervous system can result in a
variety of clinical presentations including acute or
chronic meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, ganglionitis,
and polyradiculitis.
Viruses may also incite para- or postinfectious CNS
inflammatory or autoimmune syndromes -(ADEM)
3. VIRUSES THAT CAUSE
MENINGOENCEPHALITIS
Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1, HSV-2)
Other herpes viruses: varicella zoster virus (VZV),
cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV),
human herpes virus 6 (HHV6)
Adenoviruses
Influenza A
Enteroviruses, poliovirus
4. VIRUSES THAT CAUSE
MENINGOENCEPHALITIS…
Measles, mumps and rubella viruses
Rabies
Arboviruses—for example, Japanese B encephalitis, St
Louis encephalitis virus, West Nile encephalitis virus,
Eastern, Western, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis
virus, tick borne encephalitis viruses, Chandipura
virus, Dengue virus, chikungunya, KFD.
5. VIRUSES THAT CAUSE
MENINGOENCEPHALITIS…
Bunyaviruses—for example, La Crosse strain of
California virus
Reoviruses—for example, Colorado tick fever
virus
Arenaviruses—for example, lymphocytic
choriomeningitis virus
Paramyxovirus – Nipah virus, hendra virus
7. Herpes simplex encephalitis
Most common endemic encephalitis in the USA ,
causes 10-20% of all viral encephalitis.
In India exact incidence is not known.
Early diagnosis is important.
HSV1 causes 95% of HSE.
HSV2 causes 80-90% of neonatal encephalitis
8. Imaging Findings
Abnormal signal and enhancement of medial
temporal and inferior frontal lobes
Limbic system: Temporal lobes, insula,
subfrontal area and cingulate gyri typical
Typically bilateral disease, but asymmetric
Basal ganglia usually spared
13. limbic encephalitis
• Rare paraneoplastic syndrome
associated with a primary tumor,
often lung and ovarian teratoma in
female
• Predilection for limbic system,
often bilateral
• Hemorrhage is not present
• Imaging may be indistinguishable
• Symptom onset usually weeks to
months (vs acute in HSE)
14. Infiltrating neoplasm
• Low grade gliomas often
involve medial temporal lobe
and cause epilepsy
• Gliomatosis cerebri may
involve the frontal and
temporal lobes, may be
bilateral
• No enhancement in early
stages
• Onset usually indolent
17. MRI Findings of Acute Viral Myelitis
TlWI:
Expanded cord, fills canal
May show central low signal simulating syrinx, but
intensity higher than CSF
T2WI:
Diffuse increase in signal intensity through
involved segment
Tl C+: Variable, non-focal enhancement of involved
cord segment
20. Idiopathic" transverse myelitis
Identical clinical picture
No etiology found
Up to 40% of cases preceded by
upper respiratory tract infection
Presence of CSF lymphocytes and
neutrophils indicative of some type
of inflammation in most cases
Typically long segment of cord
involvement by swelling, edema,
vague diffuse enhancement
21. Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Up to 33% may have isolated cord
lesions
Most lesions are focal (1-2
segments), may be multiple
20% demonstrate mono
segmental involvement
Acute lesions exhibit focal
enhancement with short segment edema
No peripheral nervous system
involvement
90% of cases show oligo clonal bands
23. HSV 2
HSV2 along with TORCH agents are major causes of
neonatal encephalitis.
Infections result from maternal birth canal or
transplacental spread
Unlike HSV1, HSV2 infection in neonates is diffuse.
24. HSV 2
Imaging findings are nonspecific.
CT scans in early disease may be negative or show subtle areas
of low density
Conventional MR and DWI show lesions better.
Lesions may be multifocal involving almost any area of brain
or limited to temporal lobes brainstem and cerebellum.
Watershed infarcts may be seen
In-utero infections can result in microcephaly,
encephalomalacia or calcification.
25. Axial T2WI MR shows areas
of high signal in frontal lobes
WM due to acute HSV-2
•Axial T1WI MR shows
diffuse cystic
encephalomalacia and
prominent CSF-
containing spaces
•Ca++ in basal ganglia
(BG), thalami, cortex,
subcortical WM
25
32. LCM-Macrocephaly (43%) > microcephaly
(13%)
Toxo-Cerebral calcifications are random PseudoTorch-
Auto recessive
Progressive cerebral and cerebellar
demyelination
Basal ganglia Ca++
+/- Periventricular Ca++
33. Japanese encephalitis (JE)
MC mosquito borne encephalitis In world.
JE is endemic to Indian subcontinent & is most
common cause for epidemic encephalitis ,
particularly in the NE state of Assam and eastern
UP.
Epidemics occur in the summer rainy season which
favor breeding of mosquitoes.
34. Japanese encephalitis (JE)
Homogeneous T2 hyperintensities in BG and
thalami,symmetric or asymmetric
Most characteristic finding in JE- Bilateral
thalamic hyperintensities ± hemorrhage
JE is meningoencephalitis
35.
36. HIV ENCEPHALITIS
Best diagnostic clue: Combination of atrophy
and symmetric, periventricular or diffuse
white matter (WM) disease suggests HIVE
Pathology/imaging varies with patient age,
duration of the disease.
MTR allows differentiation of HIVE from PML
37.

• Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy-Chara.by Involvement of subcortical
U fibre.
• CMV-associated CNS disease
• Herpes virus encephalitis
• Toxoplasmosis
