Intestinal obstruction occurs when there is a partial or complete blockage of the small or large intestine, interrupting the normal flow of intestinal contents. Causes include adhesions, bands, hernias, volvulus, tumors, and gallstones. Symptoms depend on the cause and location of the obstruction. Imaging studies like plain x-rays can show signs of obstruction like dilated bowel loops and air-fluid levels. Management involves treating the underlying cause, decompressing the bowel, providing IV fluids and electrolytes, and surgery if conservative measures fail or if the bowel is nonviable. Surgical options include resection of nonviable bowel and anastomoses.
In these slides we will go through the surgical anatomy of the gut,pathophysiology of intestinal obstruction, clinical presentation and management. Also we will discuss specific types of intestinal obstruction.

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

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

3. INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION
Partial or complete blockage of the lumen of small or large intestine causing an
interruption in the normal flow of intestinal contents along the intestinal tract
4.
5. First 12 hours – decreased absorption; after 12 hours – increased secretion
Distal to intestinal obstruction – normal peristalsis and absorption until it becomes
empty and collapse
6. STRANGULATION
Blood supply to bowel is compromised and the bowel becomes ischemic
The morbidity and mortality depend on duration of ischemia and its extent
CAUSES
Direct pressure on bowel wall – Hernial orifices, adhesions/bands
Interrupted mesenteric blood flow – volvulus, intussusception
Increased intra-luminal pressure – closed loop obstruction
7.
8. CLOSED LOOP OBSTRUCTION
Bowel is obstructed at both proximal and distal points
Distension is primarily confined to the closed loop
11. IMAGING
IN PLAIN XRAY
Dilated bowel loops
small bowel > 3 cm
Proximal large bowel > 9 cm
Transverse colon > 5.5 cm
Sigmoid colon > 5 cm
Multiple air fluid level
step ladder pattern
Jejunum : Valvulae conniventes - concertina or ladder effect
Ileum : featureless
Colon : Haustral folds
12.
13.
14. ADHESIONS
Most common cause of intestinal obstruction
Lifetime risk of requiring hospital admission following abdominal surgery is 4% and
the risk of requiring a laparotomy is around 2%
Early fibrinous adhesions - disappear when the cause is removed
Late fibrous adhesions - mature fibrous tissue; dense
15. BANDS
Congenital : eg. obliterated vitellointestinal duct
A string band following previous bacterial peritonitis
A portion of greater omentum usually adherent to the parietes
16. VOLVULUS
Twisting or axial rotation of a portion of bowel about its mesentery
>180 degree torsion - obstruction to the lumen
>360 degree torsion - vascular occlusion in the mesentery
Bacterial fermentation adds to distension --> increased intraluminal pressure -->
impairs capillary perfusion
Primary - d/t congenital malrotation of gut, abnormal mesenteric attachments,
congenital bands
Secondary - d/t rotation of a segment of bowel around an acquired adhesion or
stoma
17. SIGMOID VOLVULUS
Rotation nearly always occurs in anti-clockwise direction
seen most often in elderly patients with chronic constipation
a/w chronic psychotropic drug use
Younger patients present earlier and the prognosis is inversely related to duration of
symptoms
Fulminant presentation - sudden onset, severe pain, early vomitting, rapidly
deteriorating clinical course
Indolent presentation - insidious onset. slow progressive course, less pain, less
vomiting
18.
19.
20. INTERNAL HERNIA
A portion of small intestine becomes entrapped in one of the retroperitoneal fossae or in a
congenital mesenteric defect
Potential sites of internal herniation
The foramen of Winslow
A defect in the mesentery
A defect in the transverse mesocolon
Defects in the broad ligament
Congenital or acquired diaphragmatic hernia
Duodenal retroperitoneal fossae
Cecal/appendiceal retroperitonreal fossa
Intersigmoid fossa
21.
22. OBSTRUCTION FROM ENTERIC
STRICTURES
Tuberculosis or Crohn’s disease
Subacute or chronic presentation
Management : Resection and anastomosis. In Crohn’s disease Strictureplasty may
be considered in presence of short multiple strictures without active sepsis
24. Gall stone ileus
Elderly
Fistula formation d/t direct erosion of GB wall by a large gallstone
MC – Cholecystoduodenal fistula
2nd MC – Cholecystocolic fistula
Impaction 60cm proximal to IC valve
Riggler’s triad : small bowel obstruction, pneumobilia, ectopic gall stones
25. Management
Milk the stone proximally
Intraluminal crushing
Enterotomy by Longitudinal incision
Elderly patient with comorbidity : Enterotomy
Young patient with no comorbidity : Enterotomy, cholecystectomy, CBD
exploration
Bouveret syndrome – gall stones causing duodenal obstruction
26. One portion of the gut invaginated into an immediately adjacent sement;
almost invariably the proximal into the distal.
Peak incidence : between 5 and 10 months of age
CAUSES
INFANTS : Peyer’s patch enlargement - weaning, common viral pathogens
OLDER CHILDREN : Meckel’s diverticulum, Polyp, appendix, Henoch-
Schonlein purpura
ADULTS : Polyp, Tumour, Submucosal lipoma
TYPES : Ileo-ileal, Ileo-colic, Colo-colic
