The document provides an overview of autism spectrum disorder including causes, characteristics, and treatments. It discusses that autism is caused by biological abnormalities in areas of the brain like the cerebellum and frontal lobes. Genetic factors also play a role, as autism tends to run in families. While the exact causes are still unknown, early intervention is important and can help children develop language and social skills. Treatments include educational and behavioral therapies as well as dietary changes and medications to manage symptoms. Overall the document examines autism from biological, psychological, and treatment perspectives.

Introduction
Etiology involves the study of the causes of diseases, the cause or origin of a disease. Also involves the study of causation and any causes, caution, or causality. The etiologic classification of a disease based on the cause, when known. This classification is important and useful in the consideration of biotic disease. The disease is classified as staphylococcal, rickettsial, or fungal. This condition affects specific cells in the body because they aim at a single point. Pathogenesis is the mechanism through which the cause operates to produce the pathological and clinical manifestations. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a group of complex neurodevelopment disorders characterized by repetitive and characteristic patterns of behavior and difficulties with social communication and interaction. The symptoms are present from early childhood and affect daily functioning. Autism is a lifelong development disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. Also affects how they make sense of the world around them. The term “spectrum” refers to the wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of disability in functioning that can occur in people with ASD. Some children and adults with ASD are fully able to perform all activities of daily living while others require substantial support to perform basic activities. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5, published in 2013) includes Asperger syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorders not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) as part of ASD rather than as separate disorders. A diagnosis of ASD includes an assessment of intellectual disability and language impairment. It is a spectrum condition; all people with autism share certain difficulties that affect them in different ways. Some people with autism lead an independent life and many have accompanying difficulties. (http://www.ninds.nih.gov)
Specific cells, tissues and organs affected by Autism
The Lymphoblastic cell lines are continuously diving cells from the blood lymphocytes. These cell lines have been accepted to be the tool of examining the consequences of the genetic mutations. The cells are affected hence the blood circulation in the brain is widely hindered. This process leads to the development of disorders hence affecting the flow of blood in the body efficiently. This largely affects the brain since the cells are available in the brain. The pathologic condition hence creates the disorder in the brain hampering its function and proper operation of the brain. It therefore adversely affects the brain and the overall flow of blood. This leads to the development of deficiency in the brain because of lack of proper operation (Fiala et al., 2002).

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

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

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!

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
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
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.

for his or her preservation of sameness. Autistic spectrum disorder is a range of complex
neurodevelopment disorders (ASD) including autism or classical disorder (ASD), Asperger
syndrome (a milder form), childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive development
disorders (PDD-NOS) (National Institute on Health (NIH), 2012). Sociocultural explanations led
investigators in the wrong direction theorizing “refrigerator parents” (p. 433) triggered and
caused the development of the autistic child (Comer, 2011). Today specific gene mutations are
the focus of autism. Contrary to popular belief, individuals with autism have a gift the rest of the
people judging them can never imagine.
Lack of responsiveness, language, and communication problems, peculiarities in speech,
including echolalia (echoing of another’s phrase), and pronominal reversal and confusion of
pronouns are primary features of autism (National Institute on Health, 2012). Every age group,
ethnic, and socioeconomic groups with various character and severity are at risk. Experts
estimate one out of 80 children (boys four times as likely) from birth through the age of eight
will have ASD (Comer, 2011). Intensive, early treatment is essential and can make a big
difference in the lives of many children. Autistic children must learn social skills in a methodical
and structured way whereas their obsessions may provide certain advantages (Grandin, 2012).
According to Pinel (2009), “Damage has been most commonly observed in the cerebellum
and related parts of the brain but it generally tends to be wide spread throughout the brain”
(Mechado, et al. 2003; Muller et al., 2001 as cited on p. 226). In contrast, Temple Grandin
(Grandin, 2012) believes many autistic symptoms are associated to problems with the frontal
lobes causing either abnormal or scrambled messages from other parts of the brain. Behavior and
3. 3
procedures are learned by rout thinking in detail to general. Emotions are uncomplicated
stripping the normal barriers developed throughout life (Grandin, 2012). Parts of the brain
directing abstract thought and language become apparent with autism (Grandin, 2012).
Various deficits in face, mouth, and eye control suggest motor neurons of the cranial nerves
during the first four weeks of pregnancy develop incorrectly (Pinel, 2009). Anomalies of external
ear structure suggest an abnormal event experienced by the mother 20-24 days after conception
may trigger autism (Pinel, 2009). A variant of Hoxa 1 located on chromosome 7 is apparent in
40% of autistic persons exhibiting a shortened brain stem, an underdeveloped facial nucleus, and
no superior olive (Rodier, 2000 as cited in Pinel, 2009, p. 227).
Behavioral or functional changes that can occur include impaired social interaction with
sensory differences (fixations or obsessions) noticeable in early infancy. Children lack empathy,
do not respond to their names, and avoid eye contact. The triad of difficulties includes social
problems, behavioral problems, and obssessiveness that hobble some individuals more than
others (Pinel, 2009). Their inability to understand tone of voice or facial expressions leads to a
lack of social clues for appropriate behavior. Fixations by rotating objects or anything that makes
noise create fears leading to panic attacks (Grandin, 2012). Visual and audio clues dominate the
autistic world creating signs of tremendous stress and anxiety.
Autism has no single, known cause. That no two children are alike, given the complexity of
the disease, and the range of autistic disorders, there are likely many causes. Work in
psychological and biological spheres jointly recognize the primary causes of autism are brain
abnormalities and cognitive limitations (Comer, 2009). Parents of autistic children may have to
accept the fact their child may never develop empathy. Concurrently, mind-blindness explains
why the ability to see personality in a story and imaginative play are beyond the autistic child’s
4. 4
experience (Grandin, 2012). In contrast, the gift is (Comer, 2009) the lack of “theory of mind, an
awareness that other people base their behaviors on their own beliefs, intentions, and on other
mental states, not on information that they have no way of knowing” (Frith, 2000, Happe, 1997,
1995; Leslie, 1997, as cited on p. 435).
Scientists still struggle with the biological abnormalities causing mind-blindness, theory of
mind, lack of empathy, and other symptoms of autism. Viral infections, air pollutants, fragile X
syndrome (inherited disorder causing intellectual problems), tuberous sclerosis (a condition
causing benign tumors in the brain), epilepsy, or Tourette syndrome are medical conditions
increasing risk factors (Mayo Clinic, 2011).
In addition, specific biological abnormalities of the cerebellum and frontal lobes are
predominating in brains of individuals with autism (Pinel, 2009). Locating a final common
pathway, such as neurotransmitters, is the goal of scientists. For example, according to Max
Planck scientists, they “have discovered brain cells in monkeys that may be linked to selfawareness and empathy in humans” (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, 2012, para. 1). An island within
the cortex, damage to the insula leads to apathy (Max, 2012). The connections and physiology of
neurons of the von Economo neuron (VEN) will help to understand the evolution of selfawareness and autism (Max, 2012).
Subsequently, a genetic factor of the relatives (strongest among identical twins),
chromosomal abnormalities, prenatal difficulties, birth complications, and postnatal difficulties
are promising leads in developing a clear biological explanation (Comer, 2009). A strong genetic
predisposition is apparent with autism. According to the NIH, (2012), “In families with one
child with ADS, the risk of having a second child with that disorder is approximately 5 percent,
or one in 20,” (para. 15). You would expect numbers like 25% or 50% when dealing with one
5. 5
gene. The Autism Genome Project struggles daily trying to locate various missing chunks of
DNA (Grandin, 2012). Subsequently, findings to establish, “de novo germline mutation on the
genomic DNA” shows substantial promise in the ongoing research for the genetic links (Comer,
2009, p. 438).
Toddlers who could not speak and raged for no apparent reason were institutionalized. Today,
scientific studies are discovering the worst thing to do is nothing. Early educational intervention
improves a child’s chance (Grandin, 2012). According to Dr. Grandin, “A young child with
autism should have a minimum of 20 hours per week engaged in one to one teaching,” (para. 7).
Keeping the child’s brain engaged with the world will accomplish more language, better turn
taking skills, and better social interaction skills (Grandin, 2012). Communication training
includes teaching sign language, simultaneous communication, and augmentative
communication systems (Comer, 2009).
Biomedical treatments for young children include such options as a daily multivitamin,
gluten-free diets (most important item to removes is wheat), dairy/casein-free diets (substituting
yogurt), and limiting carbohydrates (Grandin, 2012). Supplements include fish oil Omega 3, B6,
magnesium, tryptophan, and melatonin to sleep. Conventional medication for older children and
adults include Prozac (fluoxetine) for anxiety, clonidine, and proprandol (a beta-blocker). In
addition, antipsychotics include risperdal (risperidone), Seroquel (quetiapine) and Ambilify
(aripiprazole) for severe aggressions (Grandin, 2012).
Until recently, the habit of discounting the talents of autistic people prevailed. Science
classified autism as a form of schizophrenia, blaming mothers as the cause for the disorder
claiming they were cold and aloof toward their autistic child. The first infant/mother responses
cannot grow, causing a complete family identity of confusion. Today there is hope for the
6. 6
autistic child with early educational interventions. Although scientists continue the battle to
understand the causes of autism, the lack of social connectedness related to autism is a
beginning. In theory, understanding autism comes without the ability for empathy will allow
parent training and community integration to come together with the idea that autism is different
not less.
Evaluate Team D PowerPoint Presentation
A visual aid expressing your main ideas is the purpose of the Microsoft PowerPoint program.
Before expressing your main ideas, a solid outline is necessary with much of your time spent on
the speaker notes and contents of the presentation versus the visual aids. Unfortunately, the
amount of information put on each screen was densely crowded causing your audience to read
the screen and not listen to your presentation. Depending on the location of your presentation,
the information will be too small for the audience to read. In addition, when not adding graphics,
bullet points and charts help the presentation organize information visually.
APA formatting is important in your PowerPoint presentation. Grammar, spelling, and proper
recognition of another’s work are always important. The presentation contained numerous
references on the Reference Page, and yet only one slide showed signs of correct citing. In
general, the overall organization of the information presented lacked credibility without proper
citations. Concurrently, an Introduction and Conclusion slide will bring information together
with a beginning and ending to a presentation. In my opinion, the information did not flow.
