Pancreatic carcinoma is the most dreaded cancer with very dismal prognosis. It is characterized by obstructive jaundice, high colored urine and clay colored stool.
CARCINOMA RECTUM
It is common in females.
In 3% of cases, it occurs in multiple sites (syn chronous).
Usually originates from a pre-existing adenoma or papilloma (tubular polyp).
Any tumour within 15 cm proximal to the anal margin is called as rectal tumour/cancer.
More than 95% are adenocarcinoma.

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

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.

micro teaching on communication m.sc nursing.pdfAnurag Sharma
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.

hypernephroma)
• Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis
and collecting system
• Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis
5. Renal Cell Carcinoma
• Grawitz’s/Hypernephroma/Adenocarcinoma
• The most common neoplasm of the kidney (75%
incidence), arises from renal tubular cells.
• Male predominance (1.6:1.0 M:F)
• Highest incidence between age 50-70
• Majority of RCC occurs sporadically
• Highest incidence in Scandinavia and North
America, lowest in Africa

• Surface – white to
yellowish
• Semi transparent
• Areas of
haemorrhage and
necrosis

• Triad of loin pain, loin mass, haematuria
(10%) and usually indicate advanced disease
• Haematuria is common complaint
• Dragging discomfort in the loin
• Mass
• Rapidly developing varicocele
9. Clinical Features -2

ESR Increased in renal cell carcinoma
Serum calcium Hypercalcaemia (paraneoplastic syndrome)
Coagulation Profile Pre-surgery investigation
Liver Function Test Impaired in metastases or paraneoplastic
syndrome, ALP increase in bone metastasis
Chest x-ray Canon ball appearance (metastasis)
13. Staging of disease
TEST REASON
Transabdominal
Ultrasound
Origin of mass, cystic/solid, sign of
metastasis in liver and lymph nodes
enlargement
Contrast CT Abdomen TNM Staging
MRI Abdomen If renal function is impaired to permit
contrast
Transesophageal
Echocardiogram
If suspected spread of tumour from inferior
vena cava involving right atrium
Excretory Urography Able to access renal function and any filling
defect indicating presence of mass
PET Scan Most sensitive but not widely available
22. Surgical
• Surgical removal of affected kidney - partial or
complete nephrectomy
• 2 types of approach
Loin
Transabdominal
• Vascular control by first ligation of renal artery
and then ligation of renal vein
23. Indications
1. Bilateral RCC
2. RCC in a solitary functioning kidney
3. Unilateral RCC with contralateral kidney under threat of
its future function
4. Tumour less than 4cms with normal opposite kidney.
5. Five year survival rate 75% to 85%
6. Local tumour recurrence of 10% is reported.
Other Approaches
1. Radio frequency ablations
2. Cryoablation
Nephron Sparing Surgery
24. • Gold standard treatment for localized RCC with
contralateral normal kidney, adequate surgical
margin.
• Principles of Surgery- Early ligation of renal artery
and vein , removal of kidney including Gerota’s
fascia, removal of ipsilateral adrenal gland,
regional lymphadenectomy from crus of
diaphragm to aortic bifurcation.
Radical nephrectomy
25.
26. Prognosis
• In operable cases, 70% of patients are well
after three years and 60% after five years.
• Worse prognosis –
- Macroscopic involvement of the renal vein or
its tributaries
- Invasion beyond the capsule
- Lymphatic involvement
27. Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Kidney
• Less common
• May invade the renal parenchyma, be
multifocal and metastasize.
• Multiple ureteric tumours are thought to arise
from a field change that predisposes the whole
urothelium to metaplasia rather than seeding
down the ureter.
• Carcinogen is chemical or viral is uncertain
28.
29. Diagnostic Work Up
• Clinical - Haematuria
• Investigations :
Presence of malignant cells in the urine may
indicate well or poorly differentiated.

• Later, the inguinal nodes can erode the skin of
the groin
96. Physical Examination
• Site : glans penis or inner surface of foreskin
• Inspection
- Painless ulcer, irregular margin, rolled edges &
indurated or gray, crusted popular lesion
- Bleeding & yellowish discharge can be seen
97. • Palpation
- Firm to hard
- Retract foreskin ( some are found under the
foreskin )
- Check for phimosis
- Feel for inguinal lymph nodes
98. Staging
• Jackson’s staging
Stage 1 Tumour confined to the glans/ prepuce
Stage 2 Tumour invade shaft or corpora but no
nodes involvement
Stage 3 Tumour confined to the penis & operable
nodes involvement
Stage 4 Tumour involves adjacent structures &
inoperable nodes metastasis
99. TNM staging
Tumour Tis : carcinoma in situ
Ta : noninvasisve verrucous tumour
T1 : Tumour invading subepitelial
connective tissue
T2 : Tumour invading corpora
T3 : tumour invading urethra or prostate
T4 : tumour invading other adjacent
structures
102. Investigations (special)
• Punch or excisional biopsy of the lesion
• Fine needle aspiration for palpable lymph
nodes
• CT/MRI to evaluate metastasis
103. Management
• Divided into treatment of primary tumour &
inguinal lymph nodes
• Primary treatment : 2 methods
i. Radiotherapy
- Indicated for small & well differentiated growth
limited to penis glans
- Disadvantage : scarring caused painful erection
104. ii. Surgery
- Indicated : anaplastic growth, big growth,
infiltrate shaft of penis & radiotherapy failed
- Methods of surgery
A. partial amputation of penis : distal growth
limited to glans penis & prepuce
B. total amputation of penis : lesions affecting
the shaft of penis & anaplastic lesions
105. • Secondary tumour – associated with inguinal
lymph nodes
- No nodes enlarged : follow up carefully
- LN enlarged which are not fixed : wait for 3
weeks after treating primary growth
- LN enlarged are massive & inoperable : deep
radiotherapy is given & may be treated with
chemotherapy
- Sentinel node biopsy

How is the procedure performed?
The procedure requires general or spinal anaesthesia, with patient placed in the gynaecological examination position. Initially, the genital area is cleansed and the urethra lubricated. A special camera is inserted through the urethra searching for abnormal areas of the bladder to be removed with the use of an instrument attached to the camera. This instrument uses heat to remove abnormal tissue. Then the site is cauterized to prevent bleeding. If there is suspicion for malignancy, the surgeon obtains tissue sample for biopsy. At the end of the procedure, a catheter is placed for continuous bladder irrigation with normal saline.
The average length of hospital stay is about 3 days, depending on the size of bladder tumor. The catheter is usually removed on the first postoperative day.
It is used only for these early-stage cancers because medicines given this way mainly affect the cells lining the inside of the bladder, with little to no effect on cells elsewhere. This means that any cancer cells outside of the bladder lining, including those that have grown deeply into the bladder wall, are not treated. Drugs put into the bladder also can’t reach cancer cells in the kidneys, ureters, and urethra, or those that have spread to other organs.
