Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autoinfl ammatory disease caused by mutations in the MEFV
gene and characterized by recurrent fever, polyserositis and arthritis. It is transmitted in an autosomal
recessive pattern. FMF has been predominantly found in ethnic groups living around the Mediterranean
basin (Jews, Arabs, Turks, and Armenians). Although accompanying infl ammatory diseases have been
reported in FMF, the coexistance of fi bromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is very rare. MEFV gene analysis that the
fi rst patient had compound heterozygous mutation (M680I+V726A) and the other patient had heterozygous
mutation (M694V). This association will be discussed in this case report.
Cardiomyopathy in HIV patients has been shown to progress faster than idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy in the HIV negative population. It is therefore important to recognize this condition early in this population and manage it appropriately. Studies need to be done to validate the current therapy for cardiomyopathy in this population since it is still unclear that LV dysfunction in this population responds in a similar fashion as in HIV negative patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
With improvement in the care available for HIV patients since the mid 1990s most HIV patients are living longer. Patients with HIV are now being afflicted with conditions associated with aging including atheroscerotic heart disease. This presentation reviews the current data on coronary artery disease in HIV patients and discusses the management and prevention of these conditions in this population.

good answer to the treatment with colchicine, that, unfortunately, he stopped for severe gastrointestinal side effects. The detection of polymorphism for intron 5 c1588-69G>A is not rare, since it
was also detected in healthy subjects, and the observation seem to suggest that this polymorphism
is associated with a symptomatic pour severe form and other factors can act as triggering factors of

associated with various side effects. Nowadays the purpose of these studies is to minimize side effects
with these drugs. A very little alteration is possible on the benzene ring while the modification can be
done on the diazepine ring. It can adopt the different conformations and in some cases some aromatic
and heterocyclic rings have been fused with this part in order to see the effect of these conformation
blockers on the pharmacological activity. The structure activity studies are also linked to molecular
modeling studies. This is important in adding some information for the interaction of these drugs with
the receptors and how this interaction can be improved.

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

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.

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

Abstract
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in the MEFV
gene and characterized by recurrent fever, polyserositis and arthritis. It is transmitted in an autosomal
recessive pattern. FMF has been predominantly found in ethnic groups living around the Mediterranean
basin (Jews, Arabs, Turks, and Armenians). Although accompanying inflammatory diseases have been
reported in FMF, the coexistance of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is very rare. MEFV gene analysis that the
first patient had compound heterozygous mutation (M680I+V726A) and the other patient had heterozygous
mutation (M694V). This association will be discussed in this case report.

Introduction
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal
recessive disease characterized by recurrent fever, abdominal
pain, monoarthricular and/or oligoarthricular arthritis,
polyserositis, and erysipelas-like erythema [1] .FMF has
been predominantly found in ethnic groups living around the
Mediterranean basin (Jews, Arabs, Turks, and Armenians) [1].
The gene responsible for the FMF, called MEFV gene is localized
on chromosome 16p13.1. Recently, it was reported that out of
over 300 mutations in MEFV gene. The most common mutations
are M694V, M680I, V726A and E148Q [2]. MEFV gene encodes
pyrin protein that is an important modulator of immunity.
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a clinical condition
characterized by several symptoms including chronic
widespread pain, sleep disturbances, cognitive functional
dysregulation and fatigue and has negative effects in patient’s
life [3]. Its annual prevalance is 1-5%, and 90% of FMS patients
are women [4]. Its etiology has not been known clearly, but
psychological, neurobiological and environmental factors
are considered to play a role in the development of FMS [4].
The coexistance of FMS and FMF was detected into cases that
presented to our clinic. This paper discusses these cases.
Case 1
A 35-year-old female patient presented to the policlinic of
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation with complaints of fatigue
and pain on left shoulder. The patient had previously been
diagnosed with FMF, and was taking colchicine pills (0.5 mg/
day). The patient was additionally taking amitriptyline 25 mg.
pills. The patient had MEFV gene M680I7+V726A compound
heterozygous mutation. The physical examination showed
that the patient had pain and tenderness on the left shoulder.
There was also tenderness at some points in her body. There
was no sign of oral and genital aphtha, eruptions, weight loss,
