Brahmi is found in humid and warmer parts of the world. It is a common creeping succulent herb branches profusely and starts rooting at the nodes. The succulent leaves are sessile, opposite, decussate, obovate-oblanceolate in shape, 1.0-2.5 cm x 0.4-1.0 cm in size. It is found in damp or marshy areas near streams or on the border of ponds, throughout India. The herb is generally confused with another herb – Centella asiatica that is morphologically different from that of Brahmi. The entire plant is used in indigenous system of medicine as a nerve tonic and cure for epilepsy and insanity. It is also being used as diuretic and for treating rheumatism, asthma, and hoarseness. Besides this, it has got good potency in controlling of cough, fever, diabetes and snakebite. Because of its inherent potential of enhancing memory and vitality, this miracle plant is gaining attention for its commercial cultivation. The memory enhancing activity of the herb has been attributed to saponin glycosides- bacosides –A and B. This plant is considered among one of the “ Celestial drugs” (Divya ausadhi) when consumed with milk for 6 months.

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.

These simplified slides by Dr. Sidra Arshad present an overview of the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract.
Learning objectives:
1. Enlist the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract
2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space
4. Differentiate between minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation
5. Describe the cough and sneeze reflexes

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.
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!

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

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

2. “The Natural force within each
of us is the greatest healer of
disease”
- Hippocrates
3. OJAS
रसादीनां शुबान्तानां धातूनां यत्परं तेजःतत्खलु ओजःतदे व
रसादीनां ान्तानां ां यत्परं ःतत्खलु
बलम ् इित ! सु. सू.
the supreme essence of all saptadhatus from Rasa to
Sukra is known as Ojas.
It means vigour or the essential energy of the Immune
system.
Ojas is responsible for strength, vitality and Immunity
against the diseases.
4. Hence Ojas is said as
ूधमे जायते ह्योज: शरीरे ~िःमन ् शरीिरनाम ्
ूधमे जायते
सिपर्वनम ् मधुरसम लाजगिन्ध ूजायते,
र् र्
ॅमरै : फलपुंपेभ्यो यधासन्ीीयते मधु
यधासन्ीीयते
तद्वदोजःःव ् ममर्भ्यो (शरीरे भ्यो) गुणैःसिन्ीयते सदा.
सिन्ीयते
It is very clear that the Ojas is established in Hridaya
very from the starting of the life which is like Honey and
with Laja gandha (like smell of pop corn) .
5. So now what to be understand this?
Homocysteine is an amino acid with the formula
HSCH2CH2CH(NH2)CO2H.
It is a homologue of the amino acid cysteine, differing by
an additional methylene (-CH2-) group.
It is biosynthesized from methionine by the removal of
its terminal methyl group.
Homocysteine can be recycled into methionine or
converted into cysteine with the aid of B-vitamins.
While detection of high levels of homocysteine has been
linked to cardiovascular diseases.
6. CONCEPT OF OJAS
The concept of Ojas in Ayurveda is very subtle and
fundamental.
The two main functions of Dhathus are :
‘SHAREERA DHARANA’
and
‘SHAREERA POSHANA’
That is sustaining and maintaining body as well as
nourishment of the body.
Ojas sustains the body.
7. "The human body heals itself and nutrition
provides the resources to accomplish the
task."
Roger Williams Ph.D. (1971)
8. BIOLOGICAL STRENGTH
(BALA)
िऽिवधं बलं सहजं कालजं युिक्तबतं च ! च.सू.
िऽिवधं बलं सहजं कालजं ु तं
Sahaja :- Genetic or constitutional , which is from time
of formation of foetus.
Kalaja :- The bala (strength) is gained as per the season.
e.g. In Hemantha rithu is at its highest and in Greeshma
it is very lowest.
Yuktikritha :- This is acquired strength which is achieved
or induced with the help of dietary and other regimen.
i.e with the help of Rasayana.
10. Immunity-Ojas
The quintessence of all the tissues
denotes that--
Ojas is our vital energy.
Pervades all tissues, cells, and spaces.
The ultimate distillation of each tissue
combined together and it is the main
determinant of our immune status and
hence our resistance to disease.
11. Ojas pervaded in entire body
ओज: सवर्शरीरःथं िःनग्धं शीतं िःथरं िसतम ् !
रीरःथं िःनग्धं शीतं िःथरं
सोमात्मक शरीरःथं बलपुिष्टकरं मतम ् ! भा.ू.पू.
ं शरीरःथं ष्टकरं
Ojas is pervaded in entire body in the way of …
Snigdha (moist),
Sheetal,
Sthira (gives stability and support),
Soma (nature of nectar),
Transparent and strengthens and nourishes the body.
12. Ojas is one and ultimate immunity in the body
येन ओजसा वतर्यिन्त ूीिणता: सवर्देिहन:
यिते सवर्भूतानां जीिवतं नावितष्टते ! ......
यितेु ानां जीिवतं नावितष्टते
.... यत शरीरसःनेह: ूाण यऽ ् ूितिष्टता: !
तत्फला बहधा वा ता: फलन्तीव ित महाफला !
ु
Every individual is living due to Ojas without which they
are unable to live or they die.
This Ojas stays in the body right from the embryo
stage.
It is in the form of essence of Rasa and enters into heart
during its formation and sustains throughout the life.
13. Basic Components of the Immune
System
Pathogen, Bacteria, Viruses, Infections,
and parasites
Leukocytes
Antibodies
Antigens
Virus
14. Pathogens and all the other stuff
Any biological agent that causes illness and/or disease to
its host. Also known as a germs, simple as that!
Different types of pathogens
include the following:
15. White Blood Cells Leukocytes
(White Blood Cells)
Other Types of
lymphocytes
WBC
T cells B Cells NK Cells Eosinophils Macrophages
16. Antibodies & Antigens
Antigens= a fragment of a protein or peptide from the
pathogen, taken to the surface of the infected cell and
bound in an MHC (major histocompatibility complex)
molecule.
The class 1 MHC complex molecule and the foreign
peptide form the antigen, which can be read by the
receptors on Killer T cells.
Antigen
Cell
Class 1 MHC molecule
Pathogen
17. Antibodies & Antigens
Antibodies are produced by B cells, when stimulated by
lymphokines from helper T cells. The antibody attaches to the
antigen, completing the signal, coding the infected cells for
destruction.
Antibodies are constructed of DNA fragments, making them so unique
and almost innumerable.

23. HORMONE
A hormone is a chemical released by a cell or a
gland in one part of the body that sends out
messages that affect cells in other parts of the
organism.
Only a small amount of hormone is required to
alter cell metabolism.
In essence, it is a chemical messenger that
transports a signal from one cell to another.

effects of Pippali .
Pippali is similarly effective against entamoeba
hystolytica.
A 2006 study published in the Journal of Phytomedicine
shows that Pippali inhibits liver fibrosis in animal studies.
This provides support for the traditional use of Pippali in
alcoholic liver disease and chronic hepatitis.
49. Pippali
Pippali’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects may be
equal to that of Ibuprofen, according to one animal
study .
“This indicates that P. longum root has weak opioid
(synthetic norcotic like but not derived from opium) but
potent NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory) type of
analgesic activity”.
Another study demonstrated that Pippali is a useful anti-
cancer agent.

‘Triphala’, a general ayurvedic medicine meant for stomach ailments has
the property of hindering growth of cancer cells in the Pancreas.
The Research report, conducted by Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, shows
that use of Triphala inhibited the growth of cancer in mice, which were
implanted with human pancreatic tumors.
This study has generated quite a lot of interest in Western health and
medical circles, particularly, when a growing interest is seen in
alternative therapies, including Ayurveda.
51. TRIPHALA research entity
In a study titled ‘Potential of traditional Ayurvedic formulation,
Triphala, as a novel anticancer drug’ published in the January 2006
issue of Cancer Letters, scientists at the Radiation Biology and
Health Sciences Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, found
that Triphala had the ability to induce cytotoxicity (cell death) in
tumor cells but spared the normal cells.
Also, a December 2005 report in the Journal of Experimental and
Clinical Cancer Research from the Radiation and Cancer Biology
Laboratory at Jawaharlal Nehru University noted that Triphala was
effective in reducing tumor incidences and increasing the
antioxidant status of animal constituents.
