A relaxation technique (also known as relaxation training) is any method, process, procedure, or activity that helps a person to relax; to attain a state of increased calmness; or otherwise reduce levels of pain, anxiety, stress or anger.
A presentation on the benefits of mindfulness for Judges at the Orlando, 2016. As important as the medical, psychological and stress reducing aspect of mindfulness are, the ability to pay sustained, nonjudgmental attention in the courtroom - without the distortion of habit, bias, or assumptions - may lead a judge to treat people and manage a courtroom in a manner that encourages confidence in our system of justice.
Stress results from a change in the environment that is perceived as a challenge, a threat, or a danger and can have both positive and negative effects.

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.

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

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
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!
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
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

2. Stress
• Stress has been traditionally defined as an a specific response of the organism to any kind of
exogenous or endogenous stimulus that is able, due to its duration or intensity, to activate adaptation
mechanisms to face the stimulus and reestablish homeostasis (Selye, 1974).
• Primary and secondary stress responses are indeed crucial to activate the organism and to properly
face an event or situation, thus supporting a controlled response in which the individual feels to have
adequate skills and resources to answer the requests of the context and initiates a positive problem-
solving process.
• Only when the exposure to a stressor agent persists for long periods of time or when the action of
the stressor agent becomes too intense such physiological adaptation mechanisms begin to falter,
homeostatic regulatory processes become less efficient, and the stress response becomes
dysfunctional (Dhabhar, 2014).
3. • “Stress arises in any event, situation or circumstance occurring
in an individual’s environment, which is perceived by the
individual to be threatening his/her wellbeing and healthy
functioning” (Lazarus & Folkman (1984))
• Stress therefore has a physical, Psychological and Spiritual
impact
5. Types of stress
• Eustress:
• positive/ pleasant/ curative
• motivates action for accomplishments
• can be viewed as ‘stimulation to growth and development
• forward-moving, goal-oriented and achieves something
• Distress:
• negative;
• negative reaction to daily activities.
• imbalance between demands and our ability to meet these
demands
6. Stages of Stress
• ALARM STRESS:
– Primary stage
– Threat encounter- nervous system sends urgent signals to brain
– Body parts and functions coordinate to fight back or flee
– Example: accident
• RESISTANCE STRESS:
– No relief from alarm, energy drops.
– Urge to fight- hastiness, impatience and exasperation
– Cutting short of sleep
– Indications- weariness, exhaustion, anxiety and forgetfulness
– Prone to cold and influenza
7. • EXHAUSTION STRESS:
– Completely tired and drained.
– Hatred towards life.
– System breakdown and mental disequilibrium.
– Results- heart diseases, blood pressure and ulcers
10. Why are elderly more vulnerable to
stress?
• Are economically disadvantaged
• No relatives or friends
• Experienced recent losses
• Changes of lifestyle and financial status after retirement
• Caring for a sick spouse
• Death of relatives, beloved or close friends
• Deterioration of physical abilities and chronic illness
• Worries for not being able to live independently
• Worries for institutionalization
16. Deep Breathing
• Deep breathing is a fundamental technique used in various
relaxation methods and is also incorporated in qigong, yoga and
progressive muscle relaxation.
• In Japan, deep breathing is widely used as a method of reducing
tension and mood.
• According to the study conducted by Perciavalle et al (2017), deep
breathing techniques led to an effective improvement in the
management of stress in daily life, and therefore, could exert
positive influences on the stress conditions.
17. Aerobic Exercises
• Aerobic exercises improve CV endurance, decrease stress and
depression, enhance physical activity and enhance sense of well-
being.
• A study conducted by deVries et al (2017) reported a higher
psychological detachment during the exercise sessions and showed a
larger decrease in stress and fatigue, and a larger increase in energy
compared to participants reporting lower detachment.
• Imaging studies have demonstrated a lower amount of aged -
dependent brain atrophy among those who exercise (Saraulli
(2017)).
18. Relaxation Training
• The goal is to promote stress reduction and relaxation.
• A relaxation response is associated with engagement of parasympathetic
responses along with an increase in alpha brain waves.
• Positive benefits of relaxation training include the following:
• Muscle relaxation
• Lowered blood pressure
• Reduced ischemic pain
• Enhanced awareness of emotional state and memory
• Increased energy level
• Increased sense of control
19. • Intervention Strategies for Rehabilitation: quiet deep breathing and
attention on a single focus (thought, word, or object).
• The patient initially practices while lying down and later can shift to
practicing while sitting or standing comfortably.
• Use of imagery is another technique that can redirect the patient’s
focus from the frustrating aspects of performance or pain.
• The environment should be relaxing and quiet, with softened lights.
• Jacobson originally described progressive relaxation exercises to
promote relaxation. While resting comfortably, the patient is
directed to alternately clench and release various different muscle
groups, moving progressively throughout the body.
