- Physical inactivity is a major public health issue that increases risks of diseases and mortality, while physical activity provides significant health benefits.
- Men tend to be less physically active than women and are more difficult to engage in traditional community physical activity programs. Effective programs for men focus on activities like sports, cycling, and walking that can be social and skill-based.
- As men age, approaches need to recognize how masculinities and friendships are constructed, often around shared activities, and engage older men in ways that address physical and mental health risks while preserving independence and purpose.
Sedentary lifestyle is an issue of great concern because of its deleterious health implications in
developed and developing countries. It is associated with limited physical activity, prolonged sitting at work, in
cars, communities, work sites, schools, homes and public places have been restricted in ways that minimize
human movement and muscular activities. People sit more and move less. This shift from a physically
demanding life to reduced physical activities have exposed people to high risk of developing various health
conditions such as obesity, hypertension, cardiac disorders, vitamin deficiencies, cancers to mention but a few.
They are associated with unhealthy lifestyles which are preventable. This paper therefore discussed the concept
of sedentary lifestyle, factors that enhance it and the various health implications associated with this unhealthy
behaviour. The paper concluded that individuals, groups and communities should make concerted efforts to
engage in physical activities, modify their dietary habits and avoid other risky behaviours that affect their health
negatively. Suggestions made by the paper include among others that work/public places should be structured in
a way that enhance active movement and recreational activities

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.
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.
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.
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

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes

diets and health-protective behaviors such as adherence to medical
recommendations
– Delay in responding to acute symptoms

14. “But once parted from spouses and jobs, and
especially as infirmities intrude, old men succumb
more quickly than women to a host of physical and
social threats, in an unintended consequence of
having according responsibility for care work and
social networking to the women in their lives”

18. “Men are at increased risk of preventable heavy impact diseases that leave
them more vulnerable to premature death and chronic ill-health [1,2]. Many
of the difficulties men face are a consequence of living a life that has both low
levels of physical activity and high levels of sedentary behaviour [3–5]. Tackling
the epidemic of stasis in men is one of the most important public health
priorities, with increasing good practice now becoming available to act as a
catalyst for future action.”

22. • Physical activity – body movement that
expends energy and raises the heart rate
• Inactivity – less than 30 minutes physical
activity a week
• Sedentary – time spent in low-energy postures
e.g. sitting or lying
23. • Everyday activity – cycling, walking etc.
• Active recreation – dance, recreational
walking etc.
• Sport – swimming etc.
24. Engagement with community
programmes
Women are more likely than men to take
advantage of non-gender-sensitive community
physical activity interventions and by
attendance they typically outnumber men 2:1
Pringle A et al. (2010) Cost-effectiveness of interventions to improve moderate physical activity: A study in nine UK
sites. Health Educ J 69:211–24
26. Age UK - ‘Fit as a Fiddle’ / ‘Fit for the Future’
The evaluation noted that men were difficult to reach
and engage, with less inclination to join in usual events
liked by women, such as Pilates, Tai Chi or chair-based
exercises.
Men preferred activities such as football, cycling, Wii
games, Nordic Walking and Health Walks, and once
they were established, men became very committed.

27. Getting older
“Forthright in their frustration over their loss of
autonomy and physicality but resigned and stoic, the
men’s stories reflected masculine norms of control,
invulnerability, physical prowess, self-reliance and
toughness. The women were dismayed by their
bodies’ altered appearances and concerned about
how their illnesses might affect their significant
others, thereby responding to feminine norms of
selflessness, sensitivity to others and nurturance.”
Clarke, L. H., & Bennett, E. (2012). “You learn to live with all the things that are wrong with you”: gender and
the experience of multiple chronic conditions in later life. Ageing and Society, 33(02), 342–360.
28. Later life masculinities
‘The self of the past is the underpinning of the
self of the present’
‘Some older men seek fewer social contacts, as
they are more satisfied by a closeness involving
covert intimacy that companionship and side-
by-side activity provides’
Thompson, E., & Whearty, P. (2004). Older Men’s Social Participation: The Importance of Masculinity Ideology. The
Journal of Men’s Studies, 13(1), 5–24.
29. Older men and friendships
• Men’s friendships tend to be focused around
doing something
– Often instrumental and activity based
• Talking to like-minded men valued for the
emotional support it offered.

Men’s Studies, 22(1), 34–52.
30. Ageing men and leisure
“…as men age, they are learning to be with their
bodies in new somatic ways, and as such, their
identities are constructed by the social
meanings given to embodied experiences. …a
significant site for this learning and being was in
leisure.”
Wiersma, E., & Chesser, S. (2011). Masculinity, ageing bodies, and leisure. Annals of Leisure Research, 14(2-3), 242–259
31. Older men?
• Social determinants:
– Socio-economic status,
– Marital status
– Housing / environment
• Intersectionality
– Ethnicity
– Age (young old, old, very old …)
– Sexuality
• Personal preferences
• Ill-health / multiple morbidities
32. Adapted ecological model of the
determinants of physical activity

others not? Lancet 2012;380:258–71.
Gender
33. Getting older men active
• Build on shoulder-to-shoulder activities i.e.
walks, gardening, The Men’s Shed
• Use settings where men are comfortable –
sports grounds, workplaces
• Skill up volunteers and workers to understand
older men’s needs
• Link men into volunteering opportunities
• Make men feel useful – mentoring the young,
creating, restoration, supporting.
34. Men’s National Cascade project
Male focused innovative community based
approaches into physical activity and wellbeing.
The project worked with Premier League and
Championship football clubs; rugby and cricket
clubs; older gay men’s groups; local Age UKs;
independent men's groups; various local
authorities, the NHS; and Preston Prison service
to reach men.

38. Asset based approaches
• Expertise within the communities
• Willing volunteers
• Peer support
• Imagination of our older men
• An expanding older population can be a
benefit to society – developing new roles and
getting active at the same time

39. Summary
• Inactivity has marked physical and emotional
consequences
• Physical activity has multiple forms and is as
much about being less sedentary as running a
marathon
• Physical activity is gendered and provision
must reflect the scope of men’s needs
• Policy must start to recognise that ‘gender’
includes men
