1) Liver abscesses can be either pyogenic (caused by bacteria) or amoebic (caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica).
2) Pyogenic liver abscesses are more common in western countries and are usually caused by E. coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae, while amoebic liver abscesses are more common in Asia and Africa.
3) The most common causes of pyogenic liver abscesses are infections that spread from the biliary tract, while amoebic liver abscesses usually originate from ingesting cysts of E. histolytica through contaminated food or water.

Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.

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

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.
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
4. Pyogenic Liver Abscess
• Liver is the most common site of abdominal visceral abscess
• PLA accounts for majority of hepatic abscess
• NO significant gender, ethnic or geographic differences in disease
frequency
• Associated comorbid conditions are Cirrhosis, CRF and history of
malignancy
5. Aetiology
•E.coli : MC in western countries
•Klebsiella pneumonia: MC in Asian countries
•Staphylococcus : MC in children suffering from chronic granulomatous
disease
• Multiple Abscesses occur in those with biliary origin
• Solitary Abscesses tend to be multiple and polymicrobial
6. Routes of Transmission
•Biliary Tract (MC)
• CBD stones leading to cholangitis (Asia)
• Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma in western countries
• CBD Strictures
Portal Vein : 2nd
MC
Hepatic Artery: Hematogenous Spread, usually monomicrobial, staphylococcus or
streptococcus
Direct Extension: From Subdiaphragmatic Abscess, Suppurative Cholecystitis, empyema
in chest, Perinephric abscess
Penetrating or Blunt Trauma
Cryptogenic: undiagnosed abdominal pathology, resolved infectious processes at the time of presentation or host factors such
as diabetes or malignancy rendering liver for more susceptible to transient hepatic artery or portal vein bacteremia
7. Clinical Features
• MC presentation is Fever.
• MC LFT abnormality is raised ALP.
• Classic Presentation: Fever, Jaundice(25%)and right upper quadrant
pain and tenderness
• MC presenting symptoms: Fever, Chills and Abdominal Pain
• Usually single, involves right lobe
• Malignancy, jaundice, deranged LFT and sepsis are associated with
poor prognosis
8. Diagnosis
• USG and CT are the main diagnostic modalities
• USG- round, oval area that is less echogenic than the surrounding liver
• CT- Similar findings of USG with and lesions are of lower attenuation
than surrounding parenchyma
• Confirmed by aspiration and culture.
• Chest X-ray: Elevated Hemi-diaphragm, right sided pleural effusion or
• atelectasis
9. Treatment
• Percutaneous Catheter Drainage + IV Antibiotics : Treatment of
Choice
• After 2 weeks of parenteral antibiotics, oral agents to be continued
for next 4 weeks
LAPARATOMY ??
10. Amoebic Liver Abscess
• Caused by Entamoeba histolytica, cysts acquired through faeco-oral
route.
• Usually Solitary and more common in right lobe
• Trophozoites reach the liver through portal venous system
• Majority of patients are young age groups
11. Pathogenesis
• MC form of invasive
disease is colitis,
frequently affecting
cecum and ascending
colon
• In colon- flask
shaped ulcers seen.
• Synchronous hepatic
abscess seen in 1/3rd
of patients with
active amoebic colitis
12. Clinical Features
• MC Symptom is abdominal pain.
• Typical clinical picture- patient of 20-40 yrs age group, with history of
travel to endemic area, presents with fever, chills, anorexia, right
upper quadrant pain
• Active colitis and abscess rarely occur simultaneously, as a rule
colonic lesions are silent.
• Raised PT(prothrombin time) is MC LFT abnormality.
13. Diagnosis
• USG and CT are the main diagnostic modalities
• CT- peripheral rim enhancement in CT distinguishes from
• Pyogenic Liver Abscess.
• Confirmed by serological tests(ELISA) for anti-amoebic antibodies
• Cultures are usually sterile or negative
• CXR- Elevated Hemi-diaphragm, right sided pleural effusion or
atelectasis
• - REDDISH –BROWN ANCHOVY SAUCE paste more reliable
characteristic feature.
14. Treatment
• Metronidazole (750mg TDS for 10-14 days)is the mainstay of
treatment and curative in over 90% cases
• Clinical improvement seen within 3 days
• Luminal agents include iodoquinol, paromomycin and diloxanide
furoate
• Average time for radiological resolution of abscess is 3-9 months.
15. Indications for Aspiration
• Diagnostic Uncertainty
• Failure to respond to therapy in 3-5 days
• Pyogenic Superinfection
• High risk of rupture (size->5cm, left lobe abscess)
• Pregnancy
16. Complications
• Most frequent complication- Rupture into peritoneal cavity, pleural
cavity or pericardium
• Size appears to be the most important risk factor for rupture
• Rupture into peritoneal cavity- Laparatomy
• Rupture into pleural cavity- Thoracentesis
