the urethra can often develop strictures due to congenital defects (e.g. hypospadias), injury, and infections. In particular, urethral stricture is a common urological problem in men. Urethral strictures thus present a significant economic impact and burden, because they are relatively frequent and repeated surgical intervention is often needed.

5 Key Facts About Stem Cell Treatment for Liver DiseaseRohanGupta317
Stem cell treatment for liver disease has emerged as a promising avenue in the field of regenerative medicine. Liver diseases, ranging from cirrhosis to hepatitis, pose significant health challenges worldwide.
Stem cell therapy for lung fibrosis in India has been provided to many patients, and most of them showed promising outcomes. This might be the reason why many researchers and doctors believe that stem cell therapy may prove to be a boon for all those patients suffering from lung fibrosis, MND, and other related diseases.
Selection and maintenance of a cadaver donor for liver transplantationApollo Hospitals
The need for the cadaver organ for liver transplant is increasing. Extended criteria/marginal donors can increase the donor pool significantly as ideal donors are very few. The combination of multiple marginal factors seems to be additive on graft injury. Although the organs from marginal donors may not be optimal, they are a viable alternative to dying while waiting for transplantation. In this review, the utility of various marginal donors in patients requiring liver transplantation will be described. It is inferred that older donors, mild to moderate steatosis, hypernatremia (preferably after correction), high ianotropic requirement, bacteremia, etc. are acceptable. Selected patients with low-grade malignancy may be accepted. Donors with positive viral serologies where transmission to the recipient is possible should be used only if the recipient is already infected with the same agent or the recipient has a critical need. The importance of liver biopsy and the goals of donor maintenance are also described. It is also concluded that the patients with high model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score (>20) benefit the most with the marginal organs.
Cellular and gene therapies are now on the cusp of realizing the early promise of treating, and perhaps curing diseases that previously had little or no available therapeutic options. However, the journey from the laboratory to the clinic has been bumpy, with a history of disappointments, especially in the early 1990's where gene therapy had received much hype and publicity.

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

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
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.

I. INTRODUCTION
cell Stem cells is applied to cells from many different sources with many different functions and phenotypes and is a
general descriptive term, Stem cells characteristics are regenerate identical cells, transplant ability, maintain the ability
to proliferate and multipotentiality, but can be stimulated to leave differentiate into specific cell types and this self
renewal cycle. Stem cells are divided four categories: totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent or unipotent. Totipotent cells
are capable of giving rise to any cell in the embryo and extra embryonic tissue. Stem cell populations that may give
rise to only limited cell types are multipotent. In this article, we review the potential for stem cell therapies to treat
liver cirrhosis, MSCs cells are reprogrammed as useful sources of cells that can be change to liver cell for treatment of
cirrhosis but pathological implication and autologous bone marrow stem cell therapy for cirrhosis are still to be
elucidated and clinical trials that required before this cell transplantation must be performed in Large-scale controlled
to becomes a regular therapy.
II. PRACTICE POINTS
lifestyle changes—stop or reduce drinking, stop smoking,
lose weight (if obese) † nutrition intervention—adequate diet (calories and composition)
drug therapy—as yet no FDA-approved therapy for alcoholic cirrhosis or alcoholic hepatitis.

some CAM agents hold promise for cirrhosis; pentoxyfilline appears effective for alcoholic hepatitis .
liver transplantation corrects liver failure and disease complications
III. STEM CELL
In cirrhosis Currently, Most of studies have been performed in rodent models of liver injury using either
whole/fractionated bone marrow transplantation/injection or peripheral blood stem cells obtained through the
administration of growth factors, because of the increasing shortage of livers for transplantation, Scientists attempted
to performed experiments for optimizing and demonstration of the supposed ability of adult bone marrow stem cells to
differentiate into mature cells other than blood cells in different adult tissues and functioning hepatocytes .
IV. THE ROLE OF LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
There have been multiple recent studies and reviews concerning liver transplantation in patients with severe alcoholic
cirrhosis.150–154 There is a well-documented organ shortage for liver transplantation and there are serious ethical
issues concerning this controversial area that have precipitated these studies. Hepatitis C and ALD are the two major
reasons for liver transplantation in the USA. Data clearly demonstrate that patients transplanted for ALD do (short-
and long-term) as well as patients transplanted for hepatitis C or other types of liver disease. However, alcoholic
hepatitis clearly is not an indication for liver transplantation at the current time. Virtually all centres require that
alcoholic patients undergo formal psychiatric evaluation and treatment prior to transplantation. Many centres impose a
‘six month rule’ of abstinence before being considered for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT); however, most
centres also show some flexibility with this rule. It is unusual for ALD alone to be the cause of graft failure. The
majority of patients with ALD are not listed for liver transplantation for multiple reasons including continued alcohol
consumption, improvement of liver function with abstinence, lack of interest, etc. Patients with ALD appear to have a
higher incidence of certain malignancies of the upper airway and upper digestive tract. Therefore, these patients should
be screened for these processes prior to transplantation and monitored carefully .
V. POST-TRANSPLANTATION.
Data suggest that, following transplantation, patients who had ALD and those who were transplanted for other reasons
consume alcohol at relatively similar rates, although those who had ALD may consume greater amounts. The rate of
alcohol use increases over time for all transplant recipients. Some centres use multi-stage screening processes with risk
stratification to select patients with low rates of recidivism. Clearly, more studies are required to refine our predictive
capabilities for both recidivism and non-compliance. Quality of life appears to improve after liver transplantation due
to any aetiology, although those with non-alcohol related aetiologies may improve more.
CONCLUSION
Studies suggested that multipotent stem cells may exist among bone marrow cells; and bone marrow stem cells
contribute to liver regeneration after injury [54]. In vitro studies reported that bone marrow MSCs can inhibit collagen

synthesis and induce apoptosis in hepatic satellites cells [60] and studies on animal showed the anti-fibrotic effects of
MSCs injected through peripheral vein [61]. According to the potential for stem cells to differentiate or their paracrine
secretion, stem cell transplantation has become an attractive alternative therapeutic method for the treatment of
patients with liver disease, at least, at a temporary support of hepatic function until a liver becomes available for organ
transplantation.
In this review, the potential of the BMC to differentiate into hepatocytes and other cell lineages has already been
reported. Several reports have also demonstrated the plasticity of hematopoietic stem cells to differentiate into
hepatocytes, and we demonstrated, MSCs cells are reprogrammed as useful sources of cells with hepatic potential for
cirrhosis therapy but pathological implication and autologous bone marrow cell therapy for cirrhosis are still to be
elucidated and clinical trials that required before this cell transplantation must be performed in Large-scale controlled
to becomes a regular therapy
