1. A 45-year-old female presented with pain and swelling in the right side of the upper jaw and bad breath. Examination found diffuse swelling in the right maxillary region with exposed and inflamed bone.
2. Imaging showed radiolucent and radiopaque areas in the maxilla. Bone scan found increased activity in the maxilla and mandible.
3. Histopathology showed increased bone formation lines, large osteoclasts, and blood vessels. Paget's disease was diagnosed based on these findings.
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is the cyst arising from the cell rests of dental lamina. It can occur anywhere in the jaw, but commonly seen in the posterior part of the mandible. Radiographically, most OKCs are unilocular when presented at the periapex and can be mistaken for radicular or lateral periodontal cyst.

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!
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.

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.
Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. 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. 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

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:

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
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
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

• Paget’s Disease is a disease of bone marked by repeated episodes of
increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at bone
formation, resulting in weakened and deformed bones of increased mass.
10. Introduction
• Rapid turnover remodeling of bone .
• Elderly--older than 50 years
• Most prevalent in the Britain and New Zealand—Classic paget’s.
• Men : women = 3:2
• Most commonly affected --spine, femurs, skull, pelvis, sternum, and jaws.
• Maxilla 2 : 1 mandible.
11. Etiology
• Classic Paget’s disease
1. Inactivation mutations in the TNFRSF11B gene that encodes osteoprotegerin.
2. Mutations in SQSTM1 (p62), the sequestosome gene that encodes a scaffold protein
for the NFKappaB signaling pathway
12. Virus theory
• Many reports that have described viral particles in the osteoclastic cells of CPDB
• Paramyxoviruses (measles in particular), canine distemper virus and respiratory
syncytial virus.
• Helps in the formation of pagetic osteoclastic cells , increased numbers and
increased nuclei per cell.
• Active virus has not been recovered from Paget bone.
15. Classic Paget Disease of Bone (CPDB)
• Late adult onset
• Rapid turnover of bone
• Osseous expansion with progressive skeletal deformities
• Tubular bones show bowing and spinal curvature,
• vertebral collapse occur in the later stages of the disease.
17. Paget's disease of bone (osteitis deformans), which has resulted in bowing of the legs
and consequent wearing of the lateral soles & heels of the shoes
18. • All bones of the cranio-facial complex can be affected
• Foramina narrowing cranial nerve neuropathies deafness
blurring of the vision, head ache, paresthesia.
• Affected area will often feel warm with visibly enlarged veins /bluish hue
because of the increased vascularity.
• Skull enlargement with “Platybasia”.
19. The optic canals are narrowed, explaining the optic nerve compression and
the visual loss.
21. Dental finding
• Generalized hypercementosis which is most advanced on premolar and
molar teeth.
• Diastemas and lingual inclinations because of dental compensations in
response to the slow expansion
• Denture wearer may present with the classic complaint of a denture that ha
s become too small and may even have had several appliances
22. Paget disease produces a slow expansion of the involve
d bone; in the jaws, it creates
diastemas between teeth and malocclusions. Note the inc
reased vascularity of the area.
.Paget disease will expand the jaws so that dentures will
no longer fit in edentulous
individuals. The tissue will be warm because of the ex
cessive vascularity of pagetic bone.

26. Marked osteoclastic as well as osteoblastic activity is evi
dent in Paget disease.
An abnormally large osteoclast is present, as are ma
ny active osteoblasts.
28. Radiographic appearance
• Pagetic bone appears as a mottled mixture of radiopacities and radiolucencies.
• Ratio of these elements depends on the duration/ stage of the disease.
• With progression, diffuse sclerosis is seen radiographically yielding the so-called
‘‘cotton wool’’ appearance of confluent nodular opacifications.
“fluffed, radiodense, cloud‐like aggregation”
29. Lateral skull film shows marked
enlargement of the cranium with new bone formation above
the
outer table of the skull and a patchy, dense, "cotton wool"
appearance.

30. Osteitis circumscripta
• Osteitis circumscripta-- in early stages of disease, radiolucent ‘‘coin
shaped’’ lesions appear in the flat bones of the skull.
32. Nuclear medicine bone scan of an elderly male, showing marked uptake in the mandible, especially on the left. The

Black beard or lincoln's sign
33. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
• Radiopaque, painful expansion of the jaws in an adult may be suggestive of
osteomyelitis, particularly chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis.
• Osteosarcoma is another consideration.
• Fibrous dysplasia may resemble paget disease radiographically but would have been
present from early life.
34. TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS
• Mild cases require no treatment.
• Paget disease is currently incurable, but the pain and deformity can be controlled
with treatment.
• Anti‐osteoclastic actions of calcitonin or the bisphosphonates.
• 200‐mg oral dose of Disodium Etidronate may be given twice daily.
• prolonged use of etidronate will adversely affect bone mineralization in the rest of
the skeleton.
• Pamidronate is another drug effective in Paget disease.
35. • Edentulous patients -- may require new and larger dentures periodically to
compensate for progressive enlargement of the alveolar processes.
• Dental complications include difficulties in extraction of teeth exhibiting
significant hypercementosis.
• During active disease, pagetoid bone is extremely vascular with multiple
arteriovenous shunts. Oral surgical procedures during this time can result in
extensive hemorrhage.
• During the later sclerotic phase, the bone is hypersensitive to inflammation and
can develop osteomyelitis with minimal provocation.
36. Prognosis
• Osteosarcomas (1% )in CPDB are seen in the elderly with severe advanced
disease
• Only 14% survive beyond 2.5 years.
37. Juvenile Paget disease
• Inherited as an autosomal recessive trait
• Clinically by deformities in the long bones,
• Patho-physiologically by rapid bone turnover
• Begins in infancy or early childhood
These mutations result in either loss of function or truncation/deletion of the ubiquitin
binding-associated (UBA) domain.
herefore the presence of viral
like nuclear inclusions in Paget osteoclasts remains enig-
matic as far as a causal factor is concerned.
Deep bone pain
Pagetoid bone is structurally weak, leading to bowed tibias, kyphosis, or frequent fractures of long bones.
Almost all the skull base bones are involved. The sphenoid bone is pathological.

Micro-
scopically, these are cellular fibro-osseous lesions with
minimally calcified osteoid trabeculae exhibiting osteo-
blastic rimming with concomitant osteoclastic resorptive
lacunae. Multinucleated cells are also found within the
fibrocellular foci, without juxtaposition to the osseous
elements. In addition osteoclasts are numerous, larger than
normal and have increased numbers of nuclei per cell.
sclerotic cranio-
facial lesions show marked evidence of turnover; resting
and reversal lines of lamellar compact and trabecular bone
are prevalent and haphazardly arranged into a mosaic
pattern
REVERSAL LINE• New bone deposition is separated from previously formed bone by these lines. www.indiandentalacademy.com

An autosomal recessive disorder means two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the disease or trait to develop.
25% chance that the child is born with two normal genes (normal)
A 50% chance that the child is born with one normal and one abnormal gene (carrier, without disease)
A 25% chance that the child is born with two abnormal genes (at risk for the disease)
There is also an extremely rare form of Paget's disease in children, referred to as juvenile Paget's disease.
he juvenile form of Paget's disease is different from the adult form. It is autosomal recessive, with gene locus 8q24 and results from mutations or deletions in the TNFRSF11B gene.[3] These lead to a deficiency of osteoprotegerin, a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily.[4] Osteoprotegerin inhibits osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption.[5]
