Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is a condition characterized by osteonecrosis of the femoral head typically seen in children between the ages of 4-8 years old. It results from disrupted blood supply to the femoral capital epiphysis, leading to bone death and deformity of the femoral head over time. Treatment involves relieving pain, protecting weight bearing, restoring range of motion, and minimizing femoral head deformity. Younger children with milder involvement are often treated conservatively with bracing and activity restriction while older children or those with more severe involvement may require surgical procedures like varus derotation osteotomy to improve containment of the femoral head within the acetabulum. The goals of treatment are to improve mobility
Madelung deformity is an abnormality of the palmar ulnar part of the distal radial physis in which progressive ulnar and volar tilt develops at the distal radial articular surface, with dorsal subluxation of the distal ulna.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) or Aseptic Necrosis of the hip is caused by a disruption to the hip’s blood supply which results in the deterioration and often collapse of the ball of the thigh bone (femoral head). Early identification and treatment of the condition increases the likelihood that a patient’s hip will recover. Surgery may be required in severe cases to repair or revascularize (restore circulation) the hip or to replace the hip in neglected/end stage cases.

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
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

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
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.

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
4. Definition

disruption of blood supply of the femoral capital
epiphysis
resulting in epiphyseal osteonecrosis and
chondronecrosis
with cessation of growth of the epiphysis.
Results in deformed femoral head

28. MRI
Best for Early Diagnosis
For accurate visualization of femoral head and acetabulum
Mandatory before surgery : To look for exact degree of extrusion and
uncoverage
Perfusion and diffusion MRI- useful prognosis
29. Bone Scan
Sensitive for early diagnosis
Sometimes overestimates the severity
Arthrogram
Clearly shows the femoral head configuration and containment –best for
hinged abduction
Can assess hip congruity in various positions
Can assess in which position head best contains
30. Differential Diagnosis
Transient Synovitis
Epiphyseal Dysplasia
Tuberculosis
Chondroblastoma
Other causes of osteonecrosis of femoral head
32. Treatment : Goals
Relief of pain : NSAIDs/Bed Rest
Avoid weight bearing
Restore ROM
Minimize femoral head deformity at the completion of healing
Can be
Conservative
Operative
33. Treatment :Conservative
Reserved for
Younger children(usually<6 years)
With Herring A or B hips
Includes:
Protected Weight bearing
Activity restriction
Physiotherapy
Abduction Braces
34. Treatment :Operative
Indicated for
Children usually>6 years with Herring B hips
All children with Herring B/C or C hips
Prerequisites :
Near normal abduction
Arthrogram showing containable congruent hip.
Includes:
<8 years- Proximal femoral varus osteotomy
> 8 years- pelvic osteotomy
35. Treatment : Approach
3 Distinct Time Frames

Late in the course of the disease
After healing (Sequelae)
37. Improving Mobility
Extremely important
For joint function
Prerequisite for containment
Methods :
Traction
Physiotherapy
Petrie cast
38. Containment
Biological plasticity
Like jelly/icecream mold
When to contain??
<6 years – consider containment only if extrusion occurs
6-12 years – consider containment even before extrusion occurs
>12 – do not consider containment
Do not consider containment if hip is stiff
40. Varus Derotation Osteotomy
Advantages:
Prevents deformity of the femoral
head by preventing extrusion
Accelerates healing
Disadvantages
Residual shortening may be
present
Abductor Limp
Trochanteric prominence
41. Treatment : Late Phase
Goal :
To minimize the extent of femoral head deformation that has already occurred
due to extrusion
Treatment Options :
Remedial
Salvage Surgery
Problem in late phase : Hinged Abduction
Treatment : Valgus osteotomy
42. Treatment after healing (Sequelae)
Goal
Improve function
Relieve Pain
Delay onset of OA
Treatment approach will depend upon specific cause of pain or disability
44. Medical Management
Bisphosphonates- have been tried but poor results due to poor vascularity
Local bisphosphonates –under trial
Bone Morphogenic Proteins(BMPs)- researches going on
45. TAKE HOME MESSAGE
Perthes disease is a idiopathic self limiting disease.
Usually presents with a painless limp.
Careful history and examination is necessary to rule out other conditions.
Although Xray is sufficient for diagnosis, MRI and bone scan are important for
early diagnosis and management.
Treatment depends on stage of disease.
Containment of the femoral head in the acetabulum is the mainstay of treatment.

Group I and II have better prognosis whereas III and IV have poor prognosis
Head at risk signs –given by caterall
-Bisphosphonates works by delaying resorption of necrotic bone and thus preventing collapse of femoral head.
-BMP- promotes osteoclastic activity and thereby stimulating the healing process
