World TB Day is celebrated annually on March 24th to raise awareness about tuberculosis. The 2015 theme is "Reach the 3 Million: Reach, Treat, Cure Everyone," which aims to diagnose and treat the approximately 3 million people who develop TB each year but are missed by public health systems. Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) guidelines in India implement the WHO-recommended DOTS strategy of diagnosing TB by sputum microscopy and providing free treatment under direct observation. The post-2015 End TB Strategy aims to end the TB pandemic by 2035 through improved tools, active case finding, and engaging new partners.
Video Directly Observed Therapy for HIV and TB patientsKimberly Schafer
Video-Directly Observed Therapy (V-DOT) is a promising solution for monitoring TB and HIV
treatment adherence for binational patients in the U.S.-Mexico border region.
Created by another teacher, this is implemented at MLIS in China for heavy ESL students, but still a very good resource for native English speakers who are learning about the ways to be safe in the kitchen when making food.
Foods and Nutrition in MLIS is not a bird course in any way. This course is meant to prepare students for life on their own After finishing this course, students should have the ability to think for themselves in the kitchen and follow recipes without hesitation.

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

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.
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

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
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

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

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.
1. WORLD TB Day
2015
24 th March
"Reach the 3 Million:
Reach, Treat, Cure Everyone“
Dr.T.V.Rao MD
2.
3. March 24 commemorates with ……
• It commemorates the day in 1882
when Dr Robert Koch astounded
the scientific community by
announcing that he had discovered
the cause of tuberculosis, the TB
bacillus. At the time of Koch's
announcement in Berlin, TB was
raging through Europe and the
Americas, causing the death of one
out of every seven people. Koch's
discovery opened the way towards
diagnosing and curing TB.
4. History of world tb day
• In 1982, on the one-hundredth
anniversary of Robert Koch's
presentation, the International
Union Against Tuberculosis and
Lung Disease (IUATLD) proposed
that March 24 be proclaimed an
official World TB Day. This was
part of a year-long centennial
effort by the IUATLD and the
World Health Organization
(WHO) under the theme “Defeat
TB: Now and Forever.
5. World TB Day 2015 to Create
Global Awareness
• This World TB Day 2015 will signal a renewed effort to
alert Ministers of Health to the global, regional and
national TB emergency, emphasizing the unacceptable
situation that many cases of TB go undiagnosed,
untreated or are not cured. It is a chance to engage with
National TB Programme Managers and other
stakeholders to improve the quality of existing
programmes and the access to care and services.
7. World TB Day Creates Public Awareness
• World TB Day, falling on
March 24th each year, is
designed to build public
awareness that tuberculosis
today remains an epidemic
in much of the world,
causing the deaths of nearly
one-and-a-half million
people each year, mostly in
developing countries
9. World TB Day 2015: “
Reach the 3 Million: Reach, Treat, Cure
Everyone”
• Every year, on 24 March, the
world marks World TB Day
(WTBD), one of the world’s top
health challenges with 9 million
new TB cases and the deaths of
nearly 1.5 million people each
year. The Day is an occasion to
mobilize political and social
commitment for further progress
towards eliminating TB as a
public health burden.
10. World TB Day 2015
• This World TB Day 2015 will signal a
renewed effort to alert Ministers of
Health to the global, regional and
national TB emergency,
emphasizing the unacceptable
situation that many cases of TB go
undiagnosed, untreated or are not
cured. It is a chance to engage with
National TB Programme Managers
and other stakeholders to improve
the quality of existing programmes
and the access to care and services.
11. World TB Day in India
• World Tuberculosis Day is celebrated every year by the people
all across the world at international level on 24th of March. It
is celebrated to raise the common public awareness about the
epidemic disease of tuberculosis as well as get their efforts in
order to totally eradicate this disease. As around 1.7 million
of the people are dying of this disease every year. 24th of
March has been established to commemorate the
tuberculosis day by all at one place in order to get some
solution to eradicate it from the world.
12. The "missed" three million
• TB is curable, but our current efforts to find, treat and
cure everyone who gets ill with the disease are not
sufficient.
• Of the nine million people a year who get sick with
TB, a third of them are "missed" by public health
systems.
• Many of these three million people live in the world's
poorest, most vulnerable communities and include
groups such as migrants, miners, drug users and sex
workers.
13. OUR Aim everyone to access to treatment
Make believe and work with
dedication that no one should
be left behind in the fight
against TB. This World TB Day,
we call for a global effort to
find, treat and cure the three
million and accelerate progress
towards zero TB deaths,
infections, suffering and
stigma.
14. What are our goals
• We must invest in basic
research and research
and development for new
tools - diagnostics, drugs
and vaccines - in order to
reach people faster, treat
them more quickly and
ultimately prevent them
from becoming ill with
TB.
15. Many will call on the infected people
• This World TB Day, people all
over the world, from TB
programme managers to
frontline health care providers
will make a call to Reach the
three million and ensure that
everyone suffering from TB has
access to adequate TB care,
including diagnosis, treatment
and cure.
16. World tb day 2015 targets many groups of infected
..
• The post-2015 End TB Strategy aims to
end the TB pandemic by 2035. A
dramatic change needs to take place
over the next few years in how we
fight TB. Our current tools use
technology that is old and outdated,
with treatment regimens that are long,
complicated and with huge side
effects, and with a vaccine that is 90
years old and not very effective, with
no point-of-care diagnosis. It is an
opportunity to start thinking out of the
box through several ways:
17. What we really mean
• Active case finding which means radical, innovative ways of delivering
services, new
• tools, new boundaries with active interventions for people affected by
TB in the most
• vulnerable groups.
• 2. Investing in interventions tailored to the economic, geographical and
social landscape.
• 3. Adjusting interventions to 2015 tools and thinking in new ways with a
better relianceon creative information and communications
technological (ICT) tools and platforms.
18. What we really mean
• 4 Broadening the spectrum of partners’ engagement in the
fight against TB by engaging with partners in tobacco,
nutrition, diabetes and others as well as non-medical partners
to include social development, urban planning, and the private
sector.
• 5. Using innovative thinking in implementing current and
future tools and delivering
• services.
20. Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) –
Guidelines for TB Control in India
• RNTCP India was implemented in 1997 based on the WHO recommended
strategy of Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course (DOTS). The
diagnosis is made primarily by sputum microscopy, which is made available
free of cost to patients at designated microscopy centres. Treatment is
provided under direct observation by a DOT Provider at the DOTS centre
near patients’ home. Enhanced supervision is ensured through a
‘Tuberculosis Unit’, a sub-district level unit comprising of specialized staff.
The programme has detailed guidelines for Programme Management,
Programmatic Management of Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (PMDT), TB-HIV,
Paediatric TB, Supervision and Monitoring, Public Private Mix (PPM),
Airborne Infection Control.
21. Follow the rntcp guidelines
• RNTCP
( Revised National Tuberculosis
Control Programme) is an
application of WHO
recommended strategy of DOTS
in India. It is largely based on the
research done at National
Tuberculosis Institute, Bangalore
and Tuberculosis Research
Centre, Chennai.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 21
22. Objectives of rntcp
• Objectives:
• 1- Detecting at least 70% of sputum positive tuberculosis patients in the
community.
• 2- Curing at least 85% of the newly detected sputum positive cases.
• Components of DOTS (Directly observed treatment strategy)
• 1- Political and administrative commitment at all levels.
• 2- Diagnosis through sputum microscopy
• 3- Uninterrupted supply of short course chemotherapy drugs.
• 4- Direct observation of drug intake ( DOTS)
• 5- Systematic monitoring, evaluation and supervision at all levels.
23. Do not forget
• As per the Government regulations
Tuberculosis is a Notifiable disease and
it is the Responsibility of every
Physician treating the Tuberculosis
patients
24. Make the World a Safe place to Live
