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.

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

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!
2. Introduction
Loop diuretics selectively inhibit NaCl reabsorption in
the thick ascending limb of Henle´s loop (TAL).
TAL has large NaCl absorptive capacity.
Diuretic action of loop diuretics is not limited by
development of acidosis.
These drugs are the most efficacious diuretic agents
currently available.
3. Chemistry
• Furosemide, ethacrynic acid!
• Bumetanide and torsemide are sulfonamide loop diuretics.
• Ethacrynic acid is a phenoxyacetic acid derivative
containing an adjecent ketone and methylene group.
• The methylene group forms an adduct with the free
sulfhydryl group of cysteine.
• The cysteine adduct appears to be an active form of the
drug.
• Organic mercurial diuretics also inhibit salt transport in the
TAL, but are toxic.
4. Pharmacokinetics
• The loop diuretics are rapidly absorbed.
• They are eliminated by the kidney by glomerular
filtration and tubular secretion.
• Absorption of oral torsemide is 1 hour and that of
furosemide 2-3 hours.
• Oral absorption is nearly as complete as with
intravenous administration.
• The duration of effect for furosemide is 2-3 hours
and of torsemide 4-6 hours.
5. Pharmacokinetics
• Half-life depends on renal function.
• Loop agents act on the luminal side of the tubule.
• Their diuretic activity correlates with their
secretion by the proximal tubule.
• NSAIDs and probenecid compete for weak acid
secretion in the proximal tubule.
• Simultaneous administration of loop diuretics and
NSAIDs result in reduction in the secretion of loop
diuretics.
6. Pharmacodynamics
• Loop diuretics inhibit the luminal Na+/K+/2Cl-
transporter (NKCC2) in the TAL of Henle´s loop.
• These agents reduce the reabsorption of NaCl and
diminish the lumen-positive potential that comes
from K+ recycling.
• Loop diuretics cause an increase in Mg2+ and Ca2+
excretion.
• Prolonged use can cause significant
hypomagnesemia.
7. Pharmacodynamics
• Loop diuretics do not generally cause hypocalcemia
because vitamin D-induced intestinal absorption and
parathyroid hormone-induced renal reabsorption of
Ca2+ can be increased.
• In disorders that cause hypercalcemia, Ca2+ excretion
can be enhanced by treatment with loop diuretics
combined with saline infusions.
• Loop diuretics induce expression of cyclooxygenase 2
(COX-2) which participates in the synthesis of
prostaglandins from arachidonic acid.
8. Pharmacodynamics
• PGE2 inhibits salt transport in the TAL and participates in
the renal actions of loop diuretics.
• NSAIDs can interfere with the actions of loop diuretics by
reducing prostaglandin synthesis in the kidney.
• This interference is significant in patients with nephrotic
syndrome or hepatic cirrhosis.
• Furosemide increases renal blood flow via prostaglandin
actions on kidney vasculature.
• Furosemide and ethacrynic acid reduce pulmonary
congestion and left ventricular filling pressures in
heart failure.
9. Typical dosages of loop diuretics
Drug Total daily oral dose
Bumetanide 0,5-2 mg
Ethacrynic acid 50-200 mg
Furosemide 20-80 mg
Torsemide 5-20 mg
10. Clinical indications
The most important are ACUTE PULMONARY
EDEMA, OTHER EDEMATOUS CONDITIONS
AND ACUTE HYPERCALCEMIA.
Other indications are hyperkalemia, acute
renal failure and anion overdose.
11. Edematous states
• Reduction of peripheral or pulmonary edema that has
accumulated as a result of cardiac, renal or vascular
disease, that reduce blood flow to the kidney.
• This reduction is sensed as insufficient effective arterial
blood volume, which leads to salt and water retention.
• Excessive diuretic therapy may compromise the effective
arterial blood volume and reduce the perfusion of vital
organs.
• The use of diuretics to mobilize edema requires careful
monitoring of the patient´s hemodynamic status.
12. Hyperkalemia
Loop diuretics can significantly
enhance urinary excretion of
potassium.
This response is enhanced by
simultaneous NaCl and water
administration.
13. Acute renal failure
• Loop agents can increase the rate of urine flow and enhance
potassium excretion in acute renal failure.
• They can not prevent or shorten the duration of renal failure.
• If a large pigment load has precipitated acute renal failure, loop
agents may help to flush out intratubular casts and ameliorate
intratubular obstruction.
• Loop agents can worsen cast formation in myeloma and light
chain nephropathy: increased distal Cl- concentration enhances
secretion of Tamm-Horsfall protein.
• This protein aggregates with myeloma Bence Jones proteins.
14. Anion overdose
Loop diuretics are useful in treating toxic
ingestions of bromide, fluoride and iodide, which
are reabsorbed in the TAL.
Saline solution must be administered to replace
urinary losses of Na+ and to provide Cl-.
This is important to avoid extracellular
fluid volume depletion.
16. Hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
• By inhibiting salt reabsorption in the TAL, loop
diuretics increase sodium delivery to the
collecting duct.
• Increased delivery leads to increased secretion
of potassium and hydrogen ions by the duct:
hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis.
• This toxicity is a function of the magnitude of
the diuresis and can be reversed by potassium
replacement and correction of hypovolemia.
17. Ototoxicity
Dose-related hearing loss
is usually reversible.
It is most common in patients who
have diminished renal function or who
are receiving simultaneously other
ototoxic agents (for example,
aminoglycoside antibiotics).
18. Hyperuricemia
Loop diuretics can cause hyperuricemia and
precipitate attacks of gout.
This is caused by hypovolemia-associated
enhancement of uric acid reabsorption in the
proximal tubule.
It may be prevented by using lower doses to avoid
development of hypovolemia.
19. Hypomagnesemia
Magnesium depletion is a consequence
of the chronic use of loop agents.
It occurs most often in patients with
dietary magnesium deficiency.
It can be reversed by administration of
oral magnesium preparations.
20. Allergic and other reactions
All loop diuretics, except ethacrynic acid, are
sulfonamides:
• skin rash
• eosinophilia
• interstitial nephritis
This toxicity usually resolves rapidly after drug
withdrawal.
Allergic reactions are much less common with
ethacrynic acid.
21. Allergic and other reactions
• Henle´s loop is indirectly responsible for water
reabsorption by the downstream collecting duct.
• Loop diuretics can cause severe dehydration.
• Hyponatremia is less common than with the thiazides.
• Patients who increase water intake in response to
hypovolemia-induced thirst can become severly
hyponatremic.
• Loop agents can cause hypercalciuria, which can lead to
mild hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
22. Allergic and other reactions
Loop agents can have the
opposite effect, hypercalcemia,
in volume-depleted patients
who have another cause for
hypercalcemia: metastatic
breast or squamous cell lung
carcinoma.
23. Contraindications
Furosemide, bumetanide and torsemide may
exhibit allergic cross-reactivity in patients
sensitive to other sulfonamides, but it is
very rare.
Overzealous use of any diuretic is
dangerous in hepatic cirrhosis, borderline
renal failure and heart failure.
