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

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
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.

7. Reading an x ray
It is not getting the “appearance”
It is not commenting “oh! I have seen it
before”
And not distracted by the “obvious”- it may
not be the causative pathology
We should have a systematic approach
www.similima.com 7
8. ABC’s of bone Radiology
Look for
Alignment
Bones
Abnormal lucency
Abnormal sclerosis
Periosteal reaction
Abnormal contour
Cartilage
Soft Tissue
www.similima.com 8
9. Alignment
Subluxation
A displacement of a bone in relation to the apposing
bone at the joint, resulting in a partial loss of
continuity of the joint surfaces.
Dislocation
A displacement of a bone in relation to the apposing
bone at the joint, resulting in a complete loss of
continuity of the joint surfaces.
Diastasis
A displacement of a bone in relation to the apposing
bone in a slightly movable (e.g. sacroiliac) or
synarthrodial joint (cranial sutures).
www.similima.com 9
12. Decreased Opacity (Lucency)
Lucency comes in several flavors. Depending on the exact
morphology and distribution of the lucency, our
differential diagnosis may vary widely.
Lucent line
fracture
Focal lucency
tumor
infection
Diffuse lucency
drugs
endocrine / metabolic
tumor
www.similima.com 12
13. Lucent line
A linear lucency is the classic
sign of a fracture. If a fracture
is displaced enough, it is easy
www.similima.com 13
14. Focal lucency
With focal lucencies, bone tumors and osteomyelitis are two of the
top entities on the differential diagnosis.
In the rest of the world, a handful of benign tumors are seen
occasionally, and the only malignant tumors commonly seen
are metastases and multiple myeloma.
In practice, the patient’s history is often key in
distinguishing tumor and infection, as they sometimes
appear quite similar on radiographs.

17. focal lucencies
focal lucencies, bone tumors
and osteomyelitis are two of
the top entities on the
differential diagnosis.
only malignant tumors
commonly seen are
metastases and multiple

19. Look for
Age of the patient
Size of the lesion
Margins of the lesion
Matrix- the “inside” of the lesion
Location in the bone
Periosteal reaction - present or not?

27. Giant cell tumors
nearly always
occur near a joint surface.

the classic epiphyseal entities such as chondroblastoma,
giant cell tumors and aneurysmal bone cysts.
They are
patella,
calcaneus,
most apophyses.

30. Diffuse lucency
Diffuse lucency usually
bespeaks some global
process capable of
affecting the entire
skeleton.
A metabolic bone
disorder such as
osteoporosis
multiple myeloma

35. Bone impaction or rotation
Although the classic
sign of a fracture is a
lucent line, some
fractures present
otherwise.
In cancellous
bones
www.similima.com 35
36. Fracture callus
Some fractures are so
subtle that you may
miss them altogether
at first, and only
diagnose them once
they have started to
heal due to the
formation of fracture
callus.
www.similima.com 36
37. Reactive sclerosis due to tumor
diffusely sclerotic
metastsis are seen in a
very slow process
(prostatic carcinoma)
or a patient with diffusely
lytic mets who has been
successfully treated (with
resultant healing and
sclerosis of these
metastatic deposits).
www.similima.com 37
41. Periosteal reaction
Depends on whether the lesion is
slow growing or rapidly growing
Slow growing- periosteum is able to
produce bone at the same rate as tumor
grows- so solid periosteal reaction
Rapidly growing lesion -the perisoteum
cannot cope up- hence interrupted pattern
www.similima.com 41
42. Periosteum produces bone when stimulated
Type of periosteal reaction depends on the
process than the periosteum
Slow growing- solid periosteal reaction
Faster growing layered or lamellar type
Rapid, steady growth -sun burst,
codeman’s triangle
Mixed patterns

50. Cartilage
we can’t really see
cartilage on plain
radiographs, but we can
still use these films to
infer a few rough ideas

doing. Hyaline articular
cartilage is what
increased joint space separates the bones in a
synovial joint. This space

51. Marked joint space
narrowing is noted in the
superior weight-bearing
portion of the joint space
in this patient with
osteoarthritis.
Subchondral sclerosis
and marked
osteophytosis are also
noted.

53. Soft Tissue
When looking at the soft tissues, one can
occasionally see a variety of useful
findings on plain films, such as:
swelling
gas
calcification
