Percutaneous balloon dilatation, first described by
Andreas Gruentzig in 1979, was initially performed
without the use of guidewires.1 The prototype
balloon catheter was developed as a double lumen
catheter (one lumen for pressure monitoring or
distal perfusion, the other lumen for balloon inflation/deflation) with a short fixed and atraumatic
guidewire at the tip. Indeed, initially the technique
involved advancing a rather rigid balloon catheter
freely without much torque control into a coronary
artery. Bends, tortuosities, angulations, bifurcations,
and eccentric lesions could hardly, if at all, be negotiated, resulting in a rather frustrating low procedural success rate whenever the initial limited
indications (proximal, short, concentric, noncalcified) were negated.2 Luck was almost as
important as expertise, not only for the operator,
but also for the patient. It is to the merit of
Simpson who, in 1982, introduced the novelty of
advancing the balloon catheter over a removable
guidewire, which had first been advanced in the
target vessel.3 This major technical improvement
resulted overnight in a notable increase in the procedural success rate. Guidewires have since evolved
into very sophisticated devices.

In today's technology-driven business, High-Speed Digital (HDI) has become more and more in demand. Bringing with it the demand for electrical and thermal performance, along with sequential lamination. To achieve this demand, the performance and reliability of the material have become much more important.
Tachyon-100G laminate materials are designed for very high-speed digital applications. Tachyon-100G materials exhibit exceptional electrical properties that are very stable over a broad frequency and temperature range between -55°C and +125°C up to 100 GHz and have proven to pass 10x lamination cycles.
In this webinar, Isola Director of High-Performance Products Michael Gay presents Tachyon-100G, highlighting the product offering and properties, and focusing on key performance attributes, product comparison, electrical performance, lamination, and more.

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. 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
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
Basavarajeeyam is a Sreshta Sangraha grantha (Compiled book ), written by Neelkanta kotturu Basavaraja Virachita. It contains 25 Prakaranas, First 24 Chapters related to Rogas& 25th to Rasadravyas.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

• Microcatheter choice at <10mm from the tip of the guidewire increasingly impacts the
effective tip load (ETL) of a guidewire2
• The Turnpike Catheter consistently provides the widest ETL Range across all tip load
groups of wires measured2
• The Turnpike LP Catheter provides no significant difference in ETL Range, across all
Guidewire groups, when compared to the Corsair™ Pro Catheter, while also providing
a lower crossing profile3,4

Key Takeaways1
54. 54
Advancing the Turnpike & Turnpike LP Catheters from 6 - 2mm distance
from the Guidewire tip dramatically increases the ETL of the guidewire
The effect of interaction decreases with softer microcatheters
The interaction and absolute increase in tipload is the highest with high tipload wires
Key Takeaways
Thank you
Tip loads can vary over the many offerings of wires. This is a small sample of some of the highest used specialty wires. Based on characteristics and tip loads, they can be generally categorized into three separate buckets:
Low weight
Medium weight
Penetration
These all have certain characteristics that lend them to disease states depending on what we’ve already gone over. This ranges from loose tissue tracking, knuckling, cap penetration, or intraluminal crossing/directional.
“Tapered tip wires transmit forward push over a smaller area resulting in a higher penetration force than equivalent non-tapered wires.”
Excerpt From: “A guide to mastering Antegrade CTO PCI.” iBooks.
