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

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.

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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.

Sensory System.pptx
1.
2. The examination of the sensory system includes the
testing of various forms of sensations as described
under:
Tactile sensibility, i.e. sensation of light touch,
pressure(crude touch), tactile localization and
discrimination
Pain
Temperature
Sense of position
Vibration sense
Recognition of the size, shape, weight and form of
objects
Presence of any abnormal sensations
3. A dermatome is an
area of skin that is
mainly supplied by
afferent nerve fibers
from a single dorsal
root of spinal nerve
which forms a part of a
spinal nerve.
Symptoms that follow a
dermatome may
indicate a pathology
that involves the
related nerve root.
4. Before starting the examination, explain the nature of
the test to be performed on the subject to get his full
cooperation.
Ask the subject to close his eyes or turn the face to
the other side and test the different forms of
sensations.
Always compare corresponding points on both sides
of the body.
5. 1. Light Touch: Touch with low threshold.
(a) Use a wisp of cotton wool and test from different
parts of the body. Ask the subject to say 'yes' every
time he feels a touch.
6. Crude touch(Pressure sense): Pressure is
sustained touch sensation. Repeat the above test
using a blunt object or finger.
Note any disturbance in its perception over the
different portions on the body.
7. Complete absence of touch
sensibility is called anaesthesia;
Its partial loss, called
Hypoaesthesia
Exaggerated (increased) sensibility
to touch, is called Hyperaesthesia.
8. Tactile localization: The ability to tell
precisely the portion of body part
touched.
Tell subject to close his eyes.
Touch different parts of the skin with pen
and tell subject to locate it.
See wether the point is same or different.
9. Tactile discrimination: The ability to distinguish
between two adjacent touch stimuli to the skin.
The tactile discrimination is tested by the use of
compass aesthesiometer The two limbs of the
instrument are separated and the subject's skin is
touched by both points. Ask whether he is being
touched with one or both the points.
10. Normally, 2-3 mm of separation of the points can be
recognized as two separate stimuli on fingertips, whereas
two points on the back must be separated by 65 mm or
more before they can be distinguished as separate points.
It is greater on the thumb, fingers and lips where the
sensory units are small and overlap considerably, than on
the back where the sensory units are large and widely
spaced
11. Pain may be produced either by a cutaneous stimulus
such as the prick of a pin(superficial pain) or by
pressure on deeper structure, such as muscles or bone
(deep or pressure pain).
1.Superficial pain. Use the point of an ordinary
domestic pin and using the same technique as used
for touch
Tell subject to say ‘yes’ when he feels pain.
12. 2.Deep or pressure pain. This is tested by squeezing
the muscle or the tendoachilles;
Or with an algometer, carefully press on the surface of
the body and note the minimum pressure required to
produce pain.
this sensation is particularly disturbed in tabes dorsalis.
13. • Analgesia=absenceof painsensation
• Hypoalgesia=decreased
• Hyperalgesia=increased
• The absence of pain sensibility is called Analgesia.
Its partial loss, the Hypoalgesia,and an increased
(exaggerated) response, the Hyperalgesia.
Therefore, even a mild stimulus causes an
unnatural degree of painful sensation.
• Hyperalgesia occurs in tabes dorsalis and thalamic
lesions (thalamic pain).
14. This is tested by using test tubes containing warm and
cold water. The part to be tested is touched with each
in turn, and the person says whether each tube feels
hot or cold.
15. The extent and direction of joint movements is
closely related to the sense of position that can be
examined accurately with the person's eyes closed.
1.Ask the subject to look away. Explain the
procedure to the subject, then move his finger (or
toe or elbow) up or down and ask him to tell you
which way it has been moved. He should be able
to recognize the movements of only a few degrees
(less than 10°) at all joints which include knee,
ankle, elbow, wrist, finger and toes.
.
16. 2. Hold one of the subject's limbs and move it in
various directions through the air, finally leaving in
some definite position, say semi flexed or extended.
Then ask him to put the corresponding limb in a
similar position
17. 1. Supply proper instructions to the subject.
2. Make the tuning fork vibrate by hitting the blades of
the fork against palm or thigh.
3.Place the foot of the vibrating tuning fork on the
surface of the body, especially on a bony prominence
(like lower end of tibia, styloid process of the radius
etc).
4. Ask the subject whether he feels the vibration.
5. Immediately place the tuning fork on the
corresponding bony prominence of your body and
note whether you can still perceive the vibration.
18. 3. Vibration sensibility is lost in tabes dorsalis,
peripheral neuropathies, such as diabetes, vitamin
deficiencies and in posterior column disorders.
4. There is often some loss of vibration sense in the feet
and legs in old age.
19. Sense of Stereognosis:
The ability to recognize familiar objects, such as
coins, a pencil, pen, scissors, etc. by handling them
without looking at them, is called stereognosis. It
depends upon intact touch-pressure sensation.
These sensations can be tested most accurately in the
hands with the eyes closed:
To test the recognition of shape , familiar objects are placed in
the hand, and the subject is asked to identify them or describe
their forms.
20. Loss of stereognosis (astereognosis) is an early sign of
damage to the parietal lobe when touch-pressure
sensation is normal.
21. The presence of abnormal sensations over the body is
referred to as paraesthesias. This consists of various
sensations experienced by the person in the absence
of any outside stimulus. For example, feeling of
‘pins and needles’, of numbness, of pressure, of
tightness, of itching or a feeling as if an insect is
crawling over the body (formication). This phenomen
is called sensory inattention and is sometimes found
in persons with parietal lobe lesions.
