Mucormycosis is a fungal infection caused by the Mucorales order of fungi. It is an angioinvasive disease that mainly affects immunocompromised patients or those with diabetes. Risk factors include uncontrolled diabetes, immunosuppression, burns, and prematurity. The rhino-orbital-cerebral form presents with nasal stuffiness, black eschar, and orbital symptoms. Diagnosis requires biopsy and culture of broad, aseptate hyphae. Treatment involves controlling glucose and acidosis, antifungal therapy such as liposomal amphotericin B for 3-6 weeks, and surgical debridement. Prognosis remains poor with mortality rates of 60-85% even

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

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
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

• Fever
14. Pulmonary Mucormycosis
• Fever
• Cough
• Hemoptysis : May be massive
• May be associated with Rhinocerebral mucormycosis
• Often delay in diagnosis
• Surgical debridement often not possible
22. Medical Management
Initial Therapy
Step 2:
• Liposomal Amphotericin B
• 5-10mg/Kg Daily for 3 to 6 week
• Dilute in 5%Dextrose 500ml infusion over 4 to 6 hours
• Monitor Creat,Potassium,Magnesium
• Duration: 3-6weeks
• Problems:
• Need central line
• Refractory Hypokalemia
• Cost :20,000 /day
• Delay in LAMB:Increased Mortality
23. Alternate to LAMB:
• Conventional AMB
• 1 to 1.5mg/Kg
• Renal dysfunction
• Electrolyte disturbance: Same as LAMB
• Pre /Post Hydration with 500ml NS :Reduce incidence of renal dysfunction
• Allergic reaction:
• Premediaction with Inj.Avil/Tab.Paracetamol reuces the allergic reaction
• Cost =500Rs/Day
25. Post initial Amphotericin
• After 3 to 6 weeks of AMB if radiologically stable disease
• Oral secondary Px with Posacoanzole/Isavuconazole
• Therapeutic drug level monitoring
• Duration 3 to 6 months
Posaconazole suspension also available: Absorption Issue
Cost of therapy : Expected around 15000 to 20000 per 4 weeks
27. Mortality
• Even with treatment :Ranges from 60-85%
• Delay in Surgical debridement in ROM more than 6 days: Mortality
increases by 50%.
• Delay in AMB : Mortality increases by 60-70%
• ROCM: Post debridement Debility is concern
• Most loss eye
31. Prevention of Infection: Environmental
Modification:
• Recommendations are for Invasive Aspergillosis
• Air Spore Quantification: Conidial count
• Accepted level in UNPROTECTED room: <25 CFU/mm3
32. Environmental modification
• Regular monitoring of spore count:especially after construction
• Adequate air circulation
• Maintain air filters
• Avoid moisture;Avoid Water Leak
• Positive Pressure ICU-Not practical
• Laminar flow- Not practical
• Adequate Autoclaving
• Avoid construction activity near ICU
• H2O2 Based sanitisation
• Frequent fumigation
• Oxygen regulator clean and dry: Fill with distilled/RO water
33. Summary
• Control sugars and acidosis
• Reduce the steroid abuse
• Ask the patients to wear N95 mask
• Keep our ICU dry/fumigated
• Look in to the oropharynx daily
• Follow up patient post discharge
• Early Sx and Medical Treatment: Life Saving

Rhizopus invades the endothelium via binding of fungal CotH proteins to the host receptor GRP78. Here, we report that surface expression of GRP78 is increased in endothelial cells exposed to physiological concentrations of β-hydroxy butyrate (BHB), glucose, and iron that are similar to those found in DKA patients.
