Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is an obstruction of the retinal venous system by thrombus formation and may involve the central, hemi-central or branch retinal vein.
The most common aetiological factor is compression by adjacent atherosclerotic retinal arteries.
Other possible causes are external compression or disease of the vein wall e.g. vasculitis.

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

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

46. INDICATIONS
1. Uncontrolled glaucoma despite maximal medical therapy
and laser trabeculoplasty.
2. Non-compliance of medical therapy and nonavailability of
ALT.
3. Failure with medical therapy and unsuitable for ALT either
due to lack of cooperation or inability to visualize the
trabeculum.
4. Eyes with advanced disease i.e., having very high IOP,
advanced cupping and advanced field loss should be treated
with filtration surgery as primary line of management.
47. Trabeculectomy ( congenital/developmental glaucoma)
Filtration operations
provide a new channel for aqueous outflow and control the IOP
(below 21 mm of Hg).
A.External filteration surgery
1. Free-filtering operations (Full thickness fistula).
Elliot's sclero-corneal trephining, punch sclerectomy, Scheie's
thermosclerostomy and iridencleisis.
2. Guarded filtering surgery (Partial thickness fistula e.g.,
trabeculectomy).
3. Non-penetrating filtration surgery e.g., deep sclerectomy and
viscocanalostomy.
B.Internal filteration surgery
48. Carain in 1980
most frequently performed
partial thickness filtering
surgery
Indications
1. Primary angle-closure
glaucoma with peripheral
anterior synechial involving
more than 270 degree angle.
2. Primary open-angle
glaucoma not controlled with
medical treatment.
3. Congenital and
developmental glaucomas
where trabeculotomy and
goniotomy fail.
4. Secondary glaucomas where
medical therapy is not
effective.
Mechnanisms of
filtration
1. fistula created around
margin of scleral flap,
through which aqueous
flows from anterior
chamber into
subconjunctival space.
2. If the tissue is
dissected posterior to the
scleral spur, a
cyclodialysis produced
leading to increased
uveoscleral outflow.
49. Surgical technique
1. initial steps of anaesthesia,
draping, exposure of eyeball
and fixation with superior
rectus suture are similar to
cataract operation
2. Conjunctival flap
A fornix-based or limbal-based
conjunctival flap is fashioned
and the underlying sclera is
exposed. The Tenon’s capsule is
cleared away using a Tooke’s
knife,and haemostasis is
achieved with cautery.
3. Scleral flap .
A partial thickness limbal-based
scleral flap of 5 mm × 5 mm size
is reflected down towards the
cornea.
4. Excision of trabecular tissue
narrow strip (4 mm × 2 mm) of
the exposed deeper sclera near
the cornea containing the canal
of Schlemm and trabecular
meshwork is excised.
5. Peripheral iridectomy
performed at 12 O’clock
position with de Wecker’s
scissors.
6. Closure.
The scleral flap is replaced
and 10-0 nylon sutures are
applied. Then the
conjunctival flap is reposited
and sutured with two
interrupted sutures (in case
of fornix-based flap) or
continuous suture (in case of
limbal-based flap)
7. Subconjunctival
injections of dexamethasone
and gentamicin are given.
8. patching

59. OCULAR
HYPERTENSION
IOP >21 mm of Hg
but no optic disc/
visual field changes
Treated as POAG in
the presence of high
risk factors
GLAUCOMA SUSPECT
An adult having normal open
angle on gonioscopy and any
of:
Elevated IOP
Suspicious disc changes [
asymmetric cup-disc >0.2,
narrowing of neuroretinal
rim, disc hemmorrhage
Visual field consistent with
glaucomatous damage
60. High risk factors :
Ocular hypertension study
[ OHTS] & European
Glaucoma Prevention
Study [ EGPS]
IOP> 30mmHg
CCT > 550µm
Vertical cup :disc > 0.7
Increased age
Increased pattern
standard deviation (PSD)
on Humphrey visual field
test
Disc haemmorrhages
Other risk factors :
Family history
Fellow eye of unilateral
POAG
Ocular condition: myopia,
steroid responder , positive
diurnal variation
Systemic: DM , sleep
apnea, hypertension,
hypothyroidism,
migranous headaches and
vasospasm
61. Treatment
Patients with high-risk
factors
Same as POAG
Patients with no high risk
factors
annual examination of
optic disc, perimetry and
record of IOP
Treatment is not required
till glaucomatous damage
is documented.
62. NORMAL TENSION
GLAUCOMA
IOP< 21 mm of Hg with typical glaucomatous disc changes
w/wo visual field defects a
angle of anterior chamber is open on gonioscopy , no
secondary cause for glaucomatous disc changes.
16% of all cases of POAG ,
> 40 years is 0.2%.
63. Etiopathogenesis
chronic low vascular
perfusion, which makes
the optic nerve head
susceptible to normal IOP.
supported by following :
Raynauld phenomenon i.e.,
peripheral vascular spasm
on cooling,
Migraine,
Nocturnal systemic
hypotension and
overtreated systemic
hypertension.
Reduced blood flow velocity
in the ophthalmic artery
Clinical features
IOP < 21mmHg
Optic disc changes
Significant thinning of
neuroretinal rim
Frequent disc splinter
hemmorrhages
Prevalent peripapillary
atrophic changes
Visual field defects :
Deeper, steeper, more
localised,
64. High pressure glaucoma
Early stages of POAG
Glaucoma with
intermittent rise in IOP
Previous episode of
glaucoma
Non-glaucomatous optic
neuropathy
Congenital optic disc
anomalies
Acquired optic
neuropathies
65. 1.Medical treatment
lower IOP by 30% [12-14 mm
of Hg]
Betaxolol ,drug of choice
[lowering IOP , increases
optic nerve blood flow]
Avoid other beta blockers
and adrenergic drugs
(nocturnal systemic
hypotension )
Neuroprotective effect –
brimonidine
Prostaglandin analogues,
e.g., latanoprost [greater
ocular hypotensive effect in
eyes with normal IOP]
2. Trabeculectomy
progressive field loss
3. Systemic calcium channel
blockers (e.g., nifedipine)
patients with peripheral
vasospasm.
4. Monitoring of systemic
blood pressure should
bedone for 24 hours. avoid
night dose of anti-
hypertensive.
Editor's Notes
This is a difficult topic. Be prepared.
Explain about production, path, outflow of aqueous humor
Trabecular and uveoscleral are the 2 outflow pathway
Known about:
Ocular hypertension
Normal or low tension glaucoma
The classification intermingled: in congenital and secondary , there can be open and close glaucoma too
Know about Schaferr grading and that angle
Neurotrophins stimulates regeneration of RGC
Visual field defect develops after the damage extends beyond the normal physiological overlap of functional zones.
Important to know these theories
I will only present about primary open angle glaucoma
No obvious cause of rise IOP
50-70, black, thin CCT, DBP<55, 6w steroids
Most pt present asymptomatic, the raised IOP are found out accidentally
Periodic eye examination after 50y, freq change sin presbyopic glasses,
Central corneal thickness
morning 20%, aftrnoo 25%, biphasic 55%
Study the normal optic disc first
Selective loss of neural rim in inf n sup poles,
Adv case: crescentic shadow ,Isnt rule ,, broken off at margin,, in high IOP,, in LC, slit shaped
Pathophysiology of disc changes :Mechanical [ raised IOP forces LC back n squeeze nerve]and vascular factor [ischemic atrophy]
Progression of optic disc changes
Mild constriction of c n p field, exclusion of blind spot from central field due to inward curve of outer boundry of 3o,
Grading based on Humphrey field analyzer. Difficult to understand
asymmetrical, bilateral, slowly progressive edema of the cornea in elderly patient
rare, genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and loss of cells in the retina
8
From the baseline evaluation data a ‘target pressure’ (below which glaucomatous damage is not likely to progress)
Selective alpha-2-adrenergic agonist
Contracts longitudinal muscle of ciliary body and opens spaces in trabecular meshwork
ncreasing outflow facility, possibly by producing collagen shrinkage on the inner aspect of the trabecular meshwork and opening the intratrabecular spaces
no longer performed [ full thickness fistula]
Mitomycin-C is onlyused at the time of surgery. A sponge soaked in 0.02%(2 mg in 10 ml) solution of mitomycin-C is placed atthe site of filtration between the scleral and Tenon’s
6mm diamtr n imm thick sutured over scleral flap
capsule for 2 minutes, followed by a thorough
irrigation with balanced salt solution.
