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
Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh.

This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
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.

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!

2. Introduction
• The pelvis is made up of
- two innominate bones,
- Sacrum, and
- Coccyx.
• Each innominate bone is formed by the fusion of
- Ilium
- Ischium, and
- Pubis
• The innominate bones are attached
- to each other at the symphysis Pubis
- to the Sacrum by two sacroiliac joints.
• Sacroiliac joint is a synovial joint.
Normal labour
depends on safe
journey of the
fetus through the
maternal pelvis
5. • What is Symphysis Pubis?
- secondary fibrocartilaginous joint
- without capsule or synovial cavity
- shows gliding movement during pregnancy ( due to softening of
the ligaments).
• Pelvis may be divided by linea terminalis( pelvic brim) into
- Upper: False pelvis
- Lower: True pelvis
Introduction (continued)
8. Pelvic Inlet
(Upper Pevic Strait/ Superior Strait)
• Plane of division between false pevis and true pelvis
• Shape- Transverse oval
• Bony landmarks from anterior to posterior on each side are
- upper border of symphysis pubis
- pubic crest
- pubic tubercle
- pectineal line
- illiopubic eminence
- illiopectineal line
- sacroiliac joint
- anterior border of ala of sacrum, and
- sacral promontory
• Axis of Inlet:
- perpendicular to the plane of the brim
- proceeds backwards and downwards
9.
10.
11. Pelvic Inclination
• Pelvic Inlet inclined at an acute angle to horizontal ( due to oblique
articulation of pelvis with femur bones).
• Angle of inclination: 55°
• Obstetric significance:
1. Increased angle of inclination, seen in sacralization of lumbar
vertebra - delayed engagement
- favours occipito-posterior position
2. Reduced angle of inclination, seen in lumbarization of 1st sacral
vertebra – favours engagement and easy delivery
15. Axis of Inlet
• Imaginary straight line
• From the centre of inlet
• Perpendicular to the plane of
brim
• Proceeds backwards and
downwards
• Indicates the direction in which
fetus travels in the pelvis

• Posterior sagittal diameter ( 4.5 cms)
- extends from interspinous diameter to the junction of 4th and 5th
sacral vertebrae
Diameters of Midpelvis
27. What is the Obstetric significance of plane of least pelvic diameters or
ischial spines?🤔
• Origin of levator ani muscles
• Cardinal movements of engagement and internal rotation
• Beginning of forward curve of pelvic axis
• Descent of the fetal head in relation to ischial spines
• Landmark for pudendal nerve block
Plane of Least Pelvic Diameters
28. Obstetric Outlet
• Shallow bony segment
• Bounded
- Above by plane of least pelvic dimensions
- below by anatomical outlet
29. Pelvic outlet
(Anatomical outlet/Lower pelvic strait/ Inferior

- until it reaches axis of outlet.
• Obstetric pelvic axis (true path through which head pass)
- straight in its upper part(3/4th)
- curved only in its lower portion.
34. Subpubic angle

descending rami of both the
sides.
• Normally, it measures 6 cm in
between the pubic rami at a
level of 2 cm below the apex
of the subpubic arch.
• Clinically, it is assessed by
placing 3 fingers side by side.
36. Waste Space of
Morris

40. Physiological changes in pelvis in pregnancy
and Labour
• Increase in width and mobility of symphysis pubis and sacroiliac joints
-due to hormone Relaxin and progesterone
• During labour, AP diameter of inlet is increased
- as a consequence of rotatory movements of sacroiliac joints
- Best position for vaginal delivery is dorsal lithotomy position( AP
diameter of outlet is increased by 1.5 cms
- During labour, coccyx is pushed back
