The pandemic spurred a global shift to remote work and provided a glimpse into the wealth of opportunities for the future of work. Organizations that fail to embrace the hybrid, work-from-anywhere workforce could experience significant retention, engagement, and talent acquisition challenges. So what should you be doing to facilitate a hybrid workforce composed of on-site employees, remote employees, and those who might work from anywhere depending on their needs and schedule?

When 53-year-old photographer and single mom Pia Navales went to the Berkeley Outpatient Center for her annual mammogram in December 2021, she had no reason to suspect any problems. The mammogram identified three masses on her left breast. After a follow-up mammogram and ultrasound with UCSF Professor of Clinical Radiology Rita Freimanis, MD, Navales drove from Berkeley across the Bay Bridge to get a core biopsy and fine needle aspiration done at the UCSF Breast Imaging Clinic at Mission Bay.

Osteoporosis affects an estimated 10.2 million people over the age of 50 in the US. The condition causes bone fragility due to deterioration and loss of density, resulting in fractures for approximately half of women and a third of men. While breaking a bone might not seem like a big deal when you’re young, it can be devastating for older adults. Research suggests that after sustaining a fracture due to osteoporosis, 10% of patients suffer another fracture and 20% die within one year.

Over the past 100 years, medical imaging has become vital to almost every medical practice. Radiological equipment such as the X-ray machine provides a low-risk way for healthcare providers to deliver fast and accurate diagnoses for treatment guidance. X-ray machines can last for many years, but it's essential to have a properly functioning and technologically up-to-date machine to obtain accurate images in your practice.

WBCT is diagnostically and clinically superior to weight bearing X-Ray, allowing for more accurate and reliable diagnosis and grading of OA.

Background: Previous observational studies published in 2015 (Geri 2015)(Vyas 2015) indicated that early cardiac catheterization in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) might improve mortality and result in more favorable neurological outcomes. The TOMAHAWK (Desch 2021), COACT (Abella 2019), and PEARL (Lemkes 2019) trials examined patients with OHCA without ST elevation with a shockable rhythm, and investigators found no difference in delayed versus emergency angiogram.

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.
