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
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

5. • 207 million cases reported in 2012 (80% from
Africa)
• 627,000 deaths (90% from Africa)
• <5yrs make up 77% of the deaths
• Causative agent = Plasmodium species
• 4 spp that infect humans

• They differ in biologically important
characteristics
– Host preference
– Where and when they bite
– Where they rest
– Breeding site
• These influence transmission of malaria and
methods for control
8. • An. gambiae s.s
• Anthropophilic (feeds exclusively on humans)
• Endophilic (rests indoors)
• Humid climate
• Fresh water breeder
• An. arabiensis
• Exophagic and exophilic
• Opportunistic feeder (anthropophilic & zoophilic)
• survival in hot and arid conditions
• Fresh water breeder

Host Cell
Chromatin – This is the nucleus of the parasite and is
usually round in shape and stains purple/red.
Cytoplasm - Early stages usually ring shaped, but
varies as it matures and also with species. Usually
stains blue but also varies with age and species of the
parasite.
Pigment - Coarse brown/black precipitates on
parasite cytoplasm which are by-products of parasite
metabolism. Colour may vary depending on species.

Merozoites
Pigment
Cytoplasm
Formed as a result of simple division of the parasite
nucleus (schizogony).
Number of merozoites vary between age and species
of the parasite.
Pigment may be scattered or concentrated
depending on age or species.
Morphological Characteristics of Malaria Parasites MDCoE2009
13. Gametocytes
Nucleus
Pigment
Cytoplasm
This is the sexual stage where parasites become
male or female.
May be banana-shaped or round depending on the
species.
Size of chromatin may help differentiate between
male and female.
Morphological Characteristics of Malaria Parasites MDCoE2009
16. 75-150 eggs on average
Laid individually on water
surface
Float by means of an air
chamber
Hatch after 2-3 days
depending on temp (25-30O C)
17. Characteristic resting
position, lying parallel to
the water surface.
Larval development
takes 5 to 7 days.
Shed their skin four times
L1, L2, L3 and L4
They use siphon tubes to
breath
Feed on micro-organisms
and organic matter
18. Development time: 14-48
hours
Difficult to control Mobile,
little control over direction
Non-feeding stage
Pupal skin splits and the
mosquito emerges as an
adult.
19. Emerged adult rests on
the surface of the water
for a short time to dry
and all its parts to
harden
Also, the wings have to
spread out and dry
properly before it can fly
Females: blood
(animal/man) and plant
juices.
Male: plant juices
• Female mates once in her
lifetime
• Takes a blood meal required
for development of eggs
20. Plasmodium transmitted form infected humans
to non-infected humans
Vector – definitve host
Human – intermediate host
Has both extracellular and intracellular stages
in both vector and human
Stages in the human:
Exo-erythocytic schizogony (Liver stage)
Erythrocytic stage (Red blood cell stage)
21. • Haploid sporozoites introduced
in the blood stream
• hepatocyte (liver cells) invasion
• asexual replication forming pre-
erythrocytic schizonts
• Each schizont contains 1000-
10,000 merozoites
• 6-15 days
22. • some sporozoites exhibit
delayed replication (ie,
dormant)
• merozoites produced
months after initial
infection
• only P. vivax and P.
ovale
relapse = hypnozoite
recrudescence = subpatent
23. Pre-erythrocytic schizont ruptures , merozoites
are released into the blood stream, where they
invade erythrocytes
Merozoite develops into a ring form
Ring form undergoes mitotic replication and
becomes a mature schizont
Schizont contains 16-32 merozoites, ruptures
and realeases the merozoites
Re-invasion of other RBC
24. erythrocytic schizogony
• 48 hr in Pf, Pv, Po
• 72 hr in Pm
gametocytes
A subset of the erythrocytic parasites multiple sexually to form
male or female gametocytes, the precursor forms of the
sporogonic development in the female Anopheles mosquito
25. Associated with synchrony
of merozoite release
Between paroxysms
temperature is normal and
patient feels well
P. falciparum may not
exhibit classic paroxysms
(continuous fever)
tertian malaria
quartan malaria
26. The female anopheles mosquito picks up the
gametocytes
Gametogenesis occurs producing gametocytes
Male gametocyte exflagellates generating eight
haploid motile gametes
Male and female gametes fuse forming a
zygote (24hrs)
Zygote develops into motile ookinetes that
burrow into the midgut
Ookinetes develop into an oocyst
27. Inside the oocyst ther are sporozoites
Oocyst ruputures releasing sporozoites
Sporozoites move up (through the
hemolymph) to and attach to the salivary
glands
