Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and can easily break. It has no symptoms in its early stages and is a public health threat to more than 44 million Americans. In this community lecture given live on our Berkeley Heights, NJ campus, Dr. Toscano-Zukor, explains how to identify your risk factors for osteoporosis as well as prevent and treat this disease.
Everything you should know about Osteoporosis?
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disorder of bones characterized by low bone density and a deterioration of bone micro- architecture that enhances bone fragility and increases the risk of fracture
Osteoporosis becomes a serious health threat for aging men & postmenopausal women by predisposing them to an increased risk of fracture
Do you know that?
Osteoporosis is responsible for >1.5 million vertebral and non-vertebral fractures per year
Spine, hip, and wrist fractures are most common.
This presentation was Shown on a community gathering in Gulshan Club Dhaka on the eve of the World Osteoporosis Day, 2010.

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

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

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.

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.

3. Osteoporosis is estimated to affect 200 million women
worldwide - approximately one-tenth of women aged 60,
one-fifth of women aged 70, two-fifths of women aged 80
and two-thirds of women aged 90
(2007) WHO Technical Report, University of Sheffield, UK: 66
It is projected that more than about 50% of all osteoporotic
hip fractures will occur in Asia by the year 2050
(Osteoporosis Int 7:407.(1998)
Osteoporosis seems to be a significant problem due to major
nutritional issues as well as limited and underutilized
diagnostic facilities
Epidemiology, costs and burden of osteoporosis in Asia 2009.
4. • Osteoporosis means “Porous bones”
causes bones to become weak and brittle
so brittle that even mild stress like
bending over ,lifting a vacuum cleaner
or coughing can cause a fracture
• In most cases bones weak when low levels of calcium
phosphorus and other minerals in bones and result as low
bone density
• As a common result of osteoporosis is fracture of the spine,
hip or wrist
• Although it is often thought of as women „s disease.
Osteoporosis also effect many men
5. Symptoms
• Back pain which can be severe if fracture
collapsed vertebra
• Loss of height over time with an
accompanying stooped posture
• Fracture of wrist,vertebera ,hip and other
bones
6. • Normal bone has the appearance of
honey comb matrix (left).Under
microscope osteoporotic bone
(right) looks porous bone
7. Causes
• The strength of the bones depends on their size and
density; bone density depends on the amount of
calicum,phosphours and other minerals bones
contain
• When the bones contain fewer minerals than
normal, they're less strong and eventually lose their
internal supporting structure
8. Risk Factors
• Fractures from the osteoporosis are about twice more in
women then men. Risk in women at menopause at age 45 that
accelerate bone loss. Risk in men is greater than age 75 year
• The older the higher risk of osteoprosis,bones become weaker
as ages
• Osteoporosis runs in families. Parent or sibling with
osteoporosis puts at greater risk, especially if having a family
history of fracture
• Men or women who are exceptionally thin or have small
body frame have grater risk because they may have less bone
mass to draw from as they age
• The greater women‟s lifetime exposure to estrogen, the lower
higher risk of osteoporosis
9. • Women and men with anorexia ,nervosa and
bulimia are at Higher risk of bone density in
their lower backs and hips
• Long term use like prednisone, cortisons,
prednisolone and dexamethasone damaging to
bone
• Too much thyroid hormone can cause bone loss
• Postmenopausal women who have breast cancer
are at increased risk of osteoporosis especially
treated with chemotherapy or aromatase
inhibitor such as anastrazole and letrozole which
suppress estrogen
10. • A life long lack of calcium plays major role in the
development of osteoporosis
• Stomach surgery (gastrectomy) can affect the
body‟s ability to absorb calcium
• Caffeine may interfere calcium absorption and its
diuretic effect may increase the bone loss
• People who experience serious depression have
increased rates of bone loss
• For men alcoholism is the leading risk factor of
osteoporosis. Excess consumption of alcohol
reduces bone formation and interfere with the
body‟s ability to absorb calcium
11. National osteoporosis foundation
guideline
• Counsel on the risk of osteoporosis and related
fractures
• Performed BMD Test for all postmenopausal
women with fractures
• Recommended BMD for:
Postmenopausal women <65 years with one or
more risk factors
All women >65 years
12. Treatment and Diagnosis
• Osteopenia refers to the mild bone loss that isn‟t
sever enough to be called osteoprosis,but that
increase risk of osteoporosis
• The best screening test is dual energy
absorptiometry(DEXA) measure the density of
bones in the spine, hip and wrist and it‟s used to
accurately following changes in the bones over time
• Ultrasound
• Quantitate CT scanning
13. Estrogen and Bone Protection
• Estrogen is essential for healthy bone and that when
the production of estrogen
is reduced, as occurs normally
in Postmenopausal women
and pathogenically after
exposure to the radiation or
chemotherapeutic drugs ,
bones become brittle
and break easily
14.

16. Ossein Mineral Complex Benefits
• OHC had a greater anabolic effect on bone than calcium
carbonate
Clin Drug Investig. 2011 Dec 1;31(12):817-24
• OHC is significantly more effective in preventing bone
loss than CC.
Menopause.2009 Sep-Oct;16(5):984-91
• Continuous administration of OHC prevents bone loss
in postmenopausal women, suggesting that this drug
may be useful in the management of postmenopausal
bone loss.
J Reprod Med. 1999 Jul;44(7):601-5
17. • MCHC not only cures but also prevents the
occurrence of osteoporosis
• It also reduces pregnancy snags & helps in
rermineralisation of bone during lactation
& in the normal course of life.
• It stimulates fracture healing.
• For rapid growth of children.
• It contains proteins, which help in
sterilization body temperature and also
help in physical growth & tissue repair.
Uses For MCHC
