Sub acute hepatic failure (SAHF) is a condition seen predominantly in India characterized by persistent jaundice for more than 8 weeks, ascites, and submassive or bridging liver necrosis on biopsy without pre-existing liver disease. The most common causes are viral hepatitis B and C. SAHF has a protracted course compared to fulminant hepatic failure and often leads to complications like renal failure and infections. Currently, the best treatment option is liver transplantation, though supportive care and newer bioartificial liver devices can help manage the condition. Without transplantation, mortality from medically treated SAHF is as high as 70%.

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

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

21. MANAGEMENT
Supportive therapy
Specific therapy
- control of liver cell necrosis
- acceleration of liver cell regeneration
- replacement of necrosed liver tissue
22. SUPPORTIVE THERAPY
Management in ICU
Adequate nutrition by oral or parentral route
Fluid and electolyte balance
Identify and treat the complications like infections,
hepatorenal syndrome, GI bleed
23. SPECIFIC THERAPY
CONTROL OF LIVER CELL NECROSIS
- no standard drug available today
- corticosteroids not useful as in FHF
- antiviral drugs are tried in various trials
do not show good results
ACCELERATION OF LIVER CELLS
- prostaglandlins (PGE-1) @ 0.2-0.6 micro
gm/kg/hr. for 28 days (sinclair et al)
hepatocyte growth factors – hepatotrophin
- induces DNA synthesis in hepatocytes
24. REPLACEMENT OF NECROSED LIVER CELLS
LIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM & BIO ARTIFICIAL
LIVER
1.Hepatassist liver support system
2 . Extra-corporeal liver assist device (ELAD)
Advantages: less cost
- shortage of donor livers
- avoid immunosupressent agents
- bridging time to liver transplantation
25. HEPATASSIST LIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM
Use of pig liver
Bioreactor- heart of system
- hollow container with semipermeable membrane (0.2)
micron porous fibres
- allow hepatocytes to contact with plasma
Venous blood taken from superfecial femoral vein
Treatment last for 6 hrs
27. ELAD
Early stages of development
Uses hepatoblastoma cells grown in hollow fibre
cartridges
Blood passes through the porous channels in cell
chamber = removal of bilirubin & synthesis of
albumin and clotting factor
Uses 200gm hepatocytes
No kuppfer cells,bile duct epithelial cells
30. LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
Curative treatment in FHF with survival rate @ 50-
70%
Useful in SAHF but limitation
Chance of viral replication in transplant
31. SELECTION CRITERIA
Kings college criteria
PT > 100 sec or INR .6.5
or
any 3 of follow. variables
Age <10 or >40 yr
Etiology non A ,non B hepatitis,idiosyncrytic drug
reaction
PT> 50 sec
S.bilirubin >18 mg/dl
32. TYPES OF LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
Most common
Permanent
Native liver removed
New liver in same
anatomic position
Long term immuno
suppression
Split graft can be used
Temporary
Heterotopic position
Native liver in situ
Immunosuppresents
weaned off
Donor graft can be
removed
orthotopic auxillary
33. HEPATOCYTE TRANSPLANTATION
New development in hepatology
Researches ongoing
Hepatocytes transplanted in spleen
Native liver in situ
Advantages:
- replacement to complex liver
transplantation
- avoid surgical complications
- avoid long term immuno-suppression
34. CONCLUSION
Condition seen in indian subcontinent
Viral etiology
Persistent jaundice > 8 weeks from onset
Ascitis cardinal symptom
Liver biopsy-sub massive or bridging fibrosis
Renal failure- bad prognosis
Mortality upto 70% in medically treated
Best available option- liver transplantation
