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

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

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

friends drive to Florida
• They stop at a motel
• Motel l k h
M l clerk charges $30 per night
i h
• Each of the friends pay $10 for the motel fee
• Manager found that they were overcharged $5
per night (should have been $25 per night)
• C
Clerk instructed to refund $
f $5…
5. Data Analysis
• …However, the clerk decided to pocket $ $2
figuring the friends would never find out.
• So the clerk refunded $3 to the friends…
• How much did each of the friends pay ???
• How much did the clerk pocket ???

WHERE’S THE EXTRA DOLLAR ???
6. Viewpoint
• There are no “bad guys”
• Physicians p their p
y put pants on “one leg at a

• Patients have a need (and a right) to know
• Is healthcare a right?
• Wh t i quality…who d id ?

8. Bias
• But there are biases out there….
• Physicians have experience based

• Insurance companies have shareholders
• Th
There are “ambulance chasers”…

• Patients want they think is best…
– (ie, antibiotics for a “cold”)
• Media sensationalism…
9. Sensationalism
• “Merck's Vioxx scandal widens: Drug

• In the U.K., an increase in PCP’s resulted in a
significant decrease in both acute and chronic hospital
admissions.

2005 (457-502)
79. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
U.S. adults who reported having a PCP
rather than a specialist as their regular
source of care had lower 5 year mortality
rates after controlling for initial differences in
health status, demographics, health
insurance status, health perceptions,
reported diagnosis, and smoking status.
Starfield B. Shi L, and Macinko J. Contributions of Primary Care to Health Systems and Health, Millbank Quarterly, Vol. 83, No. 3, 2005 (457-502)
80. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Patients who use a particular doctor for their
care have more preventive care, more
p ,
accurate diagnosis, fewer diagnostic tests,
fewer prescriptions, fewer ER visits, and
fewer h it li ti
f hospitalizations, resulting i l
lti in lower cost t
of care.

Care Organizations
ACOs are defined as a
group of providers that has
the legal structure to receive
and distribute incentive
payments to participating
providers.
Source: Premier Healthcare Alliance 82
83. What is an Accountable Care Organization?
• The PPACA Section 3022 definition
– Organization of health care providers that agrees to be
accountable f quality, cost and overall care of Medicare
for f
beneficiaries who are enrolled in traditional fee-for-service
program and who are assigned to it
– For each 12-month period, participating ACOs that meet
specified quality performance standards eligible to receive
share of any savings if actual per capita expenditures for
y g p p p
assigned Medicare beneficiaries are sufficient percentage
below specified benchmark amount
• A partnership among health care providers to coordinate
and deliver efficient care
– Assumes joint accountability for improving quality and slowing
cost growth

84. ACO Envisions Integrated Care

Specialists Care
Providers
Purpose of ACOs is to create incentives for providers to collaborate
to treat patients across health care settings
84
85. Basic Requirements for ACOs
• ACOs are required to:
– Operate as a single integrated organization that
accepts shared responsibility for the cost and quality
of care provided to a specific population of patients
cared for by the groups’ clinicians
– Operate consistently with principles of a patient-
centered medical home and other requirements of
State legislation on ACOs
– Have a formal legal structure to receive and distribute
savings
– Comply with federal requirements related to ACOs
85
86. Functional R
F ti l Requirements f ACO
i t for ACOs
• At a minimum, ACOs are required to have or provide
through contractual arrangements:
– Clinical service coordination, management, and delivery functions
– Population management functions, including Health Information
functions
Technology (HIT)
– Financial management capabilities
– Contract management capabilities
– Quality measures to report on performance
• There is a performance penalty if ACO fails to achieve certain quality
measures
– Patient and provider communication functions
– Ability to provide behavioral health services within ACO or by
contractual arrangements
86
87. Eligibility Criteria for Forming ACOs
• Under PPACA, ACOs may be formed by:
, y y
– ACO professionals (physicians and practitioners) in
group practice arrangements
– Networks of individual practices of ACO professionals
– Partnerships or joint venture arrangements between
acute care hospitals and ACO professionals
– Acute care hospitals employing ACO
professionals
• CMS roughly estimates th t th t t l average start-up
hl ti t that the total t t
investment and the first year of operating expenses for
an entity forming an ACO to participate in the Medicare
Shared Savings P
Sh d S i Program would b approximately $1 7
ld be i t l $1.7
million 87
88. Participation in ACOs
• SNFs, long-term care hospitals, and
federally qualified health centers may not
form ACOs, but may participate in
established ACOs
• Participation in ACOs is voluntary
88
89. Beneficiary Assignment to ACOs
• Beneficiaries are assigned to an ACO based on p
g primary care
y
services rendered by physicians in general practice, internal
medicine, and geriatric medicine
• Under PPACA, an ACO is required to have at least 5,000
beneficiaries assigned to it to qualify to participate in shared savings
• Assignment is made on a retrospective basis
• Beneficiaries do not enroll in a specific ACO and ACOs do not know
which beneficiaries are assigned to it until the end of the year
• Two reasons CMS proposed retrospective assignment of
beneficiaries:
– “… the ACO should be evaluated on the quality and cost of care
furnished to those beneficiaries who actually chose to receive care from
ACO participants during the course of the performance year.”
– “… to encourage the ACO to redesign its care processes for all
Medicare FFS [Fee for Service] beneficiaries, not just for the subset of
beneficiaries for whom the ACO is being evaluated.”
89
90. Medicare B
M di Beneficiaries’ F d
fi i i ’ Freedom of Ch i
f Choice
• The assignment of a patient to an ACO in
no way restricts a Medicare FFS patient’s
freedom of choice in selecting physicians
and other health care providers and
suppliers from whom he/she wishes to
receive services
90
91. Payment Model – Shared Savings
• CMS will develop a performance benchmark for ACOs to
assess whether they qualify for shared savings
• ACOs will receive a share of any savings if the actual per
capita expenditures of their assigned Medicare
beneficiaries are below the benchmark
• ACOs will select either:
– A one-sided risk payment model (sharing of savings only for the
first two years, and sharing of savings and losses in the third
year); or
– A two-sided risk payment model ( h i of savings and l
t id d i k t d l (sharing f i d losses
for all three years)
• CMS has no authority to specify how shared savings will be
distributed by ACOs
y
91
92. Quality Measures and
y
Performance Thresholds
• 65 quality measures are proposed for the first
year (January 1, 2012 through December 31,
2012) in the following 5 areas:
– (1) Patient/Caregiver Experience of Care
– (2) Care Coordination
– (3) Patient Safety
– (4) Preventative Health
– (5) At Risk Population/Frail Elderly Health
At-Risk
• ACOs which do not meet quality performance
thresholds for all proposed measures would
be ineligible for shared savings
92
93. Patient Protections
• ACOs are required to ensure access by disabled
individuals and other individuals with chronic or complex
medical conditions to appropriate specialty care
• ACOs are required to accept all patients regardless of
payor or clinical profile
• The Office of Patient Protection is directed to establish
regulations relating to consumer appeals of ACO
determinations
• The DHCFP is required to:
– Safeguard against underutilization of services and inappropriate
denials of services or treatment
– Safeguard against, and impose penalties for, inappropriate
selection of low cost patients and avoidance of high cost patients
by ACOs and ACO network providers

system in such a “ f t storm”?
t i h “perfect t ”?
Do Your Homework!
