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!
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

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

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.

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

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
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
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
2. HISTORY
There is usually a history of injury , followed by
inability to use the injured limb.
But beware! The fracture is not always at the site of
the injury.
and. The patient’s age
and mechanism of injury are important.
The common symptoms are :Pain, bruising and
swelling ,but they do not distinguish a fracture from a
soft-tissue injury.
Deformity is much more suggestive
3. HISTORY
Always enquire about symptoms of associated
injuries: pain and swelling elsewhere (it is a
common mistake to get distracted by the main
injury, particularly if it is severe), numbness or
loss of movement,
skin pallor or cyanosis, blood in the urine,
abdominal pain , difficulty with breathing or
transient loss of consciousness
4. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
The examination actually begins from the moment we set eyes on
patient. We observe his or her general appearance, posture and gait.
When we proceed to the structured examination, the patient must
be suitably undressed, if one limb is affected both limbs must be
exposed so that thy can be compared
1-Swelling,
2- bruising and
3- deformity may be obvious, but
the important point is whether the skin is intact; if
the
skin is broken and the wound communicates with the
fracture, the injury is ‘open’ (‘compound’). Note also
the posture of the distal extremity and the colour of
the skin (for signs of nerve or vessel damage).
Inspection or
look
5. Palpation OR fell
localized tenderness. Some fractures would be missed if
not specifically looked for, e.g. the classical sign
(indeed the only
clinical sign!) of a fractured scaphoid is tenderness on
pressure precisely in the anatomical snuffbox . .
The common and characteristic associated injuries should
also be felt for, even if the patient does not complain
of them. For example, an isolated fracture of the proximal
fibula should always alert to the likelihood of an
associated fracture or ligament injury of the ankle, and
In high-energy injuries always examine the spine and
pelvis. Vascular and peripheral nerve abnormalities
•should be tested for both before and after treatment
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
6. MOVE
Crepitus and abnormal movement should be
tested for only in unconscious patients .
Usually it is more important to ask if the
patient can move the joint distal to the
injury
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
7. INVESTIGATION
X-RAY
X-ray examination is mandatory. Remember the rule of twos:
•Two views– (anteroposterior and lateral) must be taken ..
•Two joints–. Because it may be fractured or dislocated,
•Two limbs–; x-rays of the uninjured limb are needed for
comparison. •
Two injuries– Severe force often causes injuries at
more than one level. Thus, with fractures of the calcaneum or femur it is
important to also x-ray the
pelvis and spine.
•Two occasions– Some fractures are notoriously difficult to detect soon after
injury, but another x-ray
examination a week or two later may show the
lesion.
8. INVESTIGATION
Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) are useful for displaying fractures
patterns in difficult sites such as vertebral column ,
the acetabulum and the calcaneum.
MRI may be the only way of showing whether a
fractured vertebra is threatining to compress the
spinal cord .
Radioistope scanning is helpful in diagnosing a
suspected stress fracture or other occult fracture ..
9. GOALS OF FRACTURE
TREATMENT
Restore the patient to optimal
functional state.
Prevent fracture and soft-tissue
complications.
Get the fracture to heal, and in a
position which will produce optimal
functional recovery.
Rehabilitate the patient as early as
possible.
10. GENERAL
Follow the guidelines of trauma life support ..
The following are of special importance with
treatment of fractures :
1-Pain. Relived by Immobilization , local
splinting , analgesics
2-Blood
loss
3-Attension to associated injuries
N.B : the management of the internal hemorrhage and visceral
injury takes priority over a limb fracture ..
4-Tetanus toxoid & Antibiotics
In compound fractures
11. Local
1-Reduction 2-fixation 3-Rehablitation
Reduction: is restoration of normal anatomy
To achieve a Reduction
The following steps usually are advised:
1) Apply traction in the long axis of the limb.
2) Reverse the mechanism that produced the
fracture;
3) Align the fragment that can be controlled with
the one that cannot.
Reduction is not necessary when the displacement is trivial e.g. …
Or when the displacement is of a nature that will leave no functional or cosmetics disability e.g…
,But is urgent when the fracture is complicated by vascular or nerve injury
12. Types are : closed and open
Closed reduction by :1- gravity ,2- closed
manipulation ,3- traction
Contraindication to closed reduction
when:
. 1.There is no significant displacement
2. The displacement is of little concern
(e.g., humeral shaft).
3. No reduction is possible (e.g., comminuted
fracture of the head and neck of humorous).
4. The reduction, if gained, cannot be held
(e.g., compression fracture of the vertebral
body).
5. The fracture has been produced by a
traction force (e.g., displaced fracture of
14. Immobilization
Once a satisfactory reduction has been
achieved, it must then be maintained
until primary union has taken place.
