Pyogenic and amebic liver infections and infestations are described. Pyogenic liver abscesses are usually caused by bacteria spreading from another infected site via the bloodstream and are typically treated with antibiotics and drainage. Amebic liver abscesses are caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica and present with right upper quadrant pain, fever, and tenderness. Diagnosis involves blood tests and imaging, and treatment consists of antiparasitic medications and sometimes drainage. Hydatid cysts are caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus and seen endemic areas; they may cause liver masses, pain, or allergic reactions.
Obstructive jaundice is a dangerous form of disease. It is invariably treated medically leading to a delay in diagnosing the surgical cause. Prompt multipronged approach is therefore essential for early diagnosis.

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.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
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
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.
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
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.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

• Once considered invariably fatal, has now
became a perfectly treatable disease with
following advances:
a) Antimicrobial therapy
b) Surgical drainage
c) USG/ CT scan
d) percutaneous drainage procedures
4. ETIOLOGY
MOST FREQUENT CAUSES OF PYOGENIC LIVER ABSCESS
A. Hepatobiliary
Benign
Lithiasis, Cholecystitis, Biliary-enteric anastomosis
Endoscopic biliary procedures, Percutaneous biliary procedures
Malignant
B. PORTAL
Benign
Diverticulitis
Anorectal suppuration ,Pelvic suppuration
Postoperative sepsis
Intestinal perforation ,Pancreatic abscess , Appendicitis
Malignant – gastric, colonic Ca
C.ARTERIAL
Endocarditis ,Vascular sepsis ,Ear, throat, nose infection
Dental infection
D.TRAUMATIC
Benign - Open or closed abdominal trauma
Malignant- Chemoembolization
Percutaneous ethanol injection or radiofrequency
E.CRYPTOGENIC
F. DIRECT EXTENSION FROM A NEARBY NIDUS OF INFECTION
5. PATHOGENESIS
• Liver is subjected to a heavy load of bacteria on a
continuous basis through portal blood
• Development of abscess occurs when liver fails to clear
it
• The primary cause being obstruction in biliary tree and
infection
• Immunosuppression and particularly diabetes has been
shown to have great association
• RIGHT LOBE has been shown to preferentially involved
(75%):
a) laminar flow to the right lobe from portal vein
b) large mass
6. MICROBIOLOGY
• Most common organism: E.COLI & KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE
• STAPH AUREUS: monobacterial, systemic sepsis, diabetic
• Klebsiella asso with gas forming abscess
• Enterococci and streptococcus viridans
• Uncommon: pseudomonas, enterobacter proteus, other
anaerobes
• Fungal and mycobacterial : immunocompromised
• Depends on the mode of infection
BILIARY TRACT: gram neg with anaerobic (polymicrobial)
SYSTEMIC INFECTIONS: single organsim
7. CLINICAL FEATURES
• The classical triad is of FEVER (96%) + JAUNDICE
(20%)
+ RUQ PAIN (53%) AND TENDERNESS (40-70%)
(triad seen only in 10% of cases)
• Other symptoms depends on complications or
etiology such as involvement of diaphragm may
lead to cough, or rupture will lead to sepsis and
peritonitis
• Endogenous endoophthalmitis: specific to
klebsiella hepatic abscess
8. LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS
• Leucocytosis
• raised liver enzymes and bilirubin
• Elevated pt/inr and hpoalbuminemia (chronicity)
PLAIN X-RAY : reflects sub diaphragmatic pathology
or any lung involvement
ULTRASONOGRAPHY :
round to oval area with less echogenecity
Sensitivity of 80-95%
Guided aspiration can be done
9. LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS contd,
CT SCAN:
Sensitivity of 95-100%
• Diag multiple small abscesses
• The PORTAL VENOUS PHASE using intravenous
contrast material gives the best differentiation
between the liver and the abscess, with the
periphery of the PLA having contrast enhancement
as opposed to non-enhancement of the central
portion.
• Diagnosis of etiology and other intra-abdominal
pathology
15. TREATMENT
• The modality of choice is percutaneous drainage with
antibiotic coverage.
A. ANTIBIOTICS
Should be started as soon as diagnosis is suspected
Broad coverage for gram neg and anaerobes
( 3rd gen cephalosporin with metronidazole)
Aspiration should be done and sent for culture and
sensitivity
Fungal and mycobacterial culture in immuno-compromised
states
Switch over to monotherapy after sensitivity reports
Usual recommendation is to continue for 2 weeks after
clinical improvement
16. TREATMENT
B. Percutaneous drainage :
• Treatment of choice
• Usg/ ct guided
• Single aspiration/ indwelling catheter
• Relative contraindications: presence of ascites,
coagulopathy, proximity to vital structures
C. SURGICAL DRAINAGE:
• Reserved for patients requiring surgery for primary
pathology
• Open/ laparoscopic
D. ANTIBIOTIC ALONE:
not recommended for large abscesses, carries high mortality
17. TREATMENT
E. Repeated aspiration
• 60-90% success rates in comparision with
catheter
F. HEPATIC RESECTION
• Infected hepatic malignancy
• Hepatolithiasis
• Intrahepatic biliary strictures
18. AMEBIC LIVER ABSCESS
• There has been numerous citings of bloody and mucus diarrhoea
with ball-like masses in as early as Bhrigu-sanhita
• Amebiasis is infection with intestinal pathogen Entameba
histolytica (tissue lysing ameba)
• Most Infection are asymptomatic
• Can cause disease ranging from Dysentry to extaintestinal
infectons like liver absess
• Most of asymptomatic infection is due to E.dispar
• Third most common cause of death due to parasite
• Endemic area Mexico,India & tropical regions of Africa,South and
Central America
19. LIFE CYCLE AND TRANSMISSION
• E. histolytica exists in two stages
multinucleate cyst Motile Trophozoite
20.
21. LIFE CYCLE AND TRANSMISSION
E. histolytica are most common in areas where poor
sanitation and crowding compromise the barrier to
contamination of food and drinking water
Infection is acquired by ingestion of cysts in faecally
contaminated water or food or rarely ,through oral-anal
sexual contact(MSM)
Cysts are resistant to the acid in the stomach
22. PATHOGENESIS
Virulent factors of E.histolytica are:
1. Galactose/ N-acetyl galactosamine (Ga1NAc):
responsible for adhesion to colonic cells
2. Cysteine proteases: responsible for extracellular
degradation and spread. Also inactivates complement
C3
3. Induces both humoral and cell mediated response
4. Infection gives partial immunity to further infecton
5. Deep seated FLASK-SHAPED ulcers with normal
intervening mucosa in colon
23. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
• INTESTINAL AND EXTRAINTESTINAL MANIFESTATIONS
• INTESTINAL is chiefly blood and mucus diarrhoea with
colicky abdominal pain
• AMEBIC LIVER ABSCESS is the most common extra-
intestinal manifestations
• Colonic and liver abscess rarely occur simultaneously
• The classical presentation of ALA are right upper –
quadrant pain ,fever and liver tenderness
• Its acute in nature lasting < 10 days
• With chronic presentation wt. loss and anorexia are
prominent
• ANCHOVY-SAUCE like pus
24. .• Most commonly in right lobe (postero-superior area)
• Left lobe abscess are more prone to rupture
• Rt-sided pleural effusion and atelectesis are common
in cases of ALA
• In 10% rupture of abscess through diaphragm may
cause pleuro-pulmonary amebiasis
• Sudden onset cough,pleuritic chest pain and
shortness of breath are suggestive symptom
• Hepatobronchial fistula is dramatic complication in
which pt has complaint of cough with content of liver
abscess
• Liver abscess may rupture into pericardial cavity and
can cause pericarditis with 30% mortality due to
cardiac temponade
25. DIAGNOSIS
• Hemogram : leucocytosis without
eosinophilia, anemia
• CHEST X-RAY : right lung atelectasis, pleural
effusion
• ULTRSONOGRAPHY: has low specificity (40%)
usual presentation is hypoechoic ,non-
homogenous cystic spaces in right lobe
• CT-SCAN : offers no diagnostic superiority in
terms of specifity. Of use in close diagnosis.
27. DIAGNOSIS
SEROLOGY: reactive in invasive Amoebiasis
• 1 Indirect Heamagglutination assay ( IHA )
• 2 ELISA
• 3 Latex agglutination test
• 4 gel diffusion
• 5 Counter current Imunoelectrphoresis
• Serological tests remain positive for several years ever
after successful treatment
GALLIUM SCAN: differentiation of amebic from
pyogenic liver abscess
28. TREATMENT
CHEMOTHERAPY:
Start with monotherapy with METRONIDAZOLE (800mg thrice
daily for 10 days or 500mg IV QDS)
In cases where improvement is not seen within 3 days,
alternate chemotherapy or surgical means
EMETINE HYDROCHLORIDE: intramuscular or deep
subcutaneous injection @ 1mg/kg/day not exceeding
60mg/day ( contraindicated in renal, cardiac and muscular
disease)
CHLOROQUINE: 1 g (600-mg base) per day for 2 days followed
by 500 mg (300-mg base) per day for 2 to 3 week
DILOXANATE FUROATE: added after treatment of liver abscess
for eradication of intestinal amebiasis
29. TREATMENT
ASPIRATION/DRAINAGE:
Therapeutic aspiration has not been proved superior or very effective in
management of amebic liver abscess
Its use has been reserved for the following situations:
1.Amebic serology is inconclusive, delayed, or unavailable, and the main
differential diagnosis is a pyogenic liver abscess.
2.A therapeutic trial with antiamebic drugs is deemed inappropriate (as
in pregnancy).
3.There is suspicion of secondary infection of the liver abscess; this is
estimated to occur in 15% of cases
4. When fever and pain persist for more than 3 to 5 days after starting
appropriate therapy, aspiration may provide symptomatic relief.
5. Rupture is suspected to be imminent in an extremely large abscess,
especially if pericardial

43. LIVER FLUKE DISEASE
• TREMATODE parasite F.HEPATICA
(temperate) and F.GIGANTICA (tropical) are
the cause of fascioliasis where cattle and
sheep are raised and human eat raw
watercress.
• Europe, middle east and asia are the
endemic zones
I. FASCIOLIASIS
45. PATHOLOGY
• primary infection is in liver parenchyma causing
greyish nodules and dense fibrosis
• The parasite then enters bile radicals causing to
and fro movements and causing extensive
damage to biliary epithelium and fibrosis.
• Association with cholangiocarcinoma has been
shown
• Migration to other organs have been seen like in
urinary tract (hematuria), peritoneum, muscle,
brain and subcutaneous tissue.
46. CLINICAL FEATURES
• The principal mode of infection is contaminated water as
opposed to the popular conception of eating watercress.
ACUTE PHASE: RUQ pain,hepatomegaly, fever, vomiting,
diarrhoea, and allergic reactions may develop.
• the investigation of choice being CT SCAN which shows
hypodense lesions arranged in a “tracklike” fashion
CHRONIC PHASE: (>4 months)
• adult flukes in the biliary system
• Recurrent episodes of biliary colic, cholangitis and
cholecystitis.
• USG may show motile images in bile duct and gallbladder
during this stage
47. DIAGNOSIS
• HEMATOLOGY : eosinophilia, anemia, LFT with
cholestasis features
• Specific IgG antibodies to fasciola antigen has
been found positive in 97% of cases.
• STOOL EXAMINATION: detection of ova in stool
through concentration method or filteration-
ninhydrin method.
• IMAGING : already described
48. TREATMENT
• The drug of choice is triclabendazole, 10 mg/kg
orally, repeated after 12 hours
It can be used even in the presence of biliary
obstruction. Cure rates of 90% have been reported
with no significant drug-related side effects.
• Bithionol is an alternative; available as 200-mg
tablets, the daily dose is 30 mg/kg/day, to a total
therapeutic dose of 150 mg/kg
• SURGERY is reserved for cases with biliary
obstruction
49. II. CLONORCHIASIS
• 10-25 mm flat trematode which generaly inhabit
intrahepatic biliary radicals, occasionaly travels to
common bile duct and rarely can be found in
pancreatic duct.
• Infective form: cyst from infected fish
• Intermediate host : Hydrobiid snail
• Additional intermediate host: cyprinoid fish
• Definative host: human
50. PATHOLOGY
• Inflammatory changes in bile duct due to irritant effect
on biliary epithelium.
• Inflammation leads to metaplasia and then
adenomatous hyperplasia
• Stagnation of bile leads to bacterial infection,
cholangitis, and cholangiohepatitis.
• In late stages, ductal fibrosis and stricture formation
• Association with cholangiocarcinoma has been
documented.
• Propensity for Calcium bilirubinate stones formation
increases.
51. CLINICAL FEATURES, DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT
• The classic symptom complex associated with
clonorchiasis is the occurrence of recurrent pyogenic
cholangitis.
• Diagnosis is by eggs in the stool or duodenal aspirate
• Severity of infection is determined by the no of eggs
per gram of stool
• Elevated eosinophil count
• Praziquantel is the drug of choice. The dosage
schedule is usually 25 mg/kg/day for 1 or 2 days
• Surgey needed for stone and stricture
52. III. BILIARY ASCARIASIS
• Asia , africa and central america
• Worm enters into cbd through ampulla of vater
• CLINICAL FEATURES
I. Uncomplicated biliary ascariasis
II. Complicated biliary ascariasis
A. Early complications
1. Acute cholecystitis
2. Acute suppurative cholangitis
3. Hepatic invasion with or without abscess
4. Hemobilia
5. Acute pancreatitis
B. Late complications
1. Biliary calculi
2. Granulomatous strictures of the bile ducts
3. Hepatic granuloma
53. DIAGNOSIS
• STOOL MICROSCOPY : ova or remains of dead
worm
• Leucocytosis with eosinophilia (generally<5%)
• Bilirubinemia greater than 3.5 mg/dL is
uncommon
• IMAGING :
Real time USG: shows live worm (bulls eye sign)
CT : offers no extra advantage
ERCP : has more of a therapeutic role in acute
setting
54. TREATMENT
ACUTE STAGE:
• Parenteral antispasmodic drugs to relax the sphincter
of Oddi, analgesics for the relief of biliary colic,
nasogastric decompression, and intravenous fluids.
• Worm returns to duodenum in >90% of cases
• Antihelminthic drugs avoided in acute setting
• Albendazole (400 mg/day for 1 day) OR mebendazole
(100 mg twice daily for 3 days) and pyrantel pamoate
(single dose of 11 mg/kg to a maximum of 1 g
55. .
• Failure of conservative management warrants
ERCP removal of dead worms
• However if ERCP fails or facilities not available,
surgery is indicated.
SURGERY :
• Initial operative cholangiogram helps in planning
• Worm removed after choledochotomy and the
biliary tree then flushed with normal saline
• Another intraoperative cholangiogram done to
check for residual worms
• The bile duct then closed over a wide bore T-tube
• Simultaneous removal of all worms from intestine
done via enterostomy
