Patient Recall Rates May Be Decreased By Digital Mammography Plus Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Nationally, about ten percent of women in the US are recalled for a second mammogram after an abnormality is detected on the first one - for most women this can be very stressful. However the use of digital breast tomosynthesis and full-field digital mammography combined may be associated with a substantial decrease in recall rate, according to a study performed at UPMC in Pittsburgh, PA. Some researchers believe that digital breast tomosynthesis depicts the breast tissue in a way which may allow radiologists to identify some tumors which could be missed with standard two-dimensional mammography.

New EPI Healthcare Study By June O'Neill Shows Uninsured 'Crisis' Wildly Overestimated
The Employment Policies Institute (EPI) released a new study which shows that the widely employed estimate of 47 million uninsured Americans is a misleading representation of the problem. The study, authored by Drs. June and David O"Neill of Baruch College and City University of New York, shows that more than 43 percent, or 18 million, of uninsured Americans ages 18-64 could likely afford health coverage and are actually "voluntarily uninsured." June O"Neill served as Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) from 1995-1999.

CFIA And USDA Revise Potato Cyst Nematode Guidelines

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced revised guidelines for potato cyst nematode (PCN) that will allow continued trade of seed potatoes between the two countries. While PCN does not pose a risk to human health, it is recognized internationally as a destructive plant pest of economic importance and, therefore, a quarantine pest for the United States and Canada. "This Government is committed to helping farmers prosper, including facilitating access to international markets," said Minister of Agriculture Gerry Ritz. "These revised guidelines will allow for the continued trade of seed potatoes between Canada and the United States." "The United States and Canada are committed to working together to limit the spread of potato cyst nematodes on both sides of the border," said U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "These revised guidelines will ensure abundant potatoes for consumers as well as viable markets for potato farmers." The PCN Guidelines describe the national survey of potato production for PCN in both Canada and the U.S. and now require increased soil sampling and testing from all fields where seed potatoes are produced for trade between the two countries. The guidelines also outline the measures that should be taken to manage a PCN detection and contain procedures for the subsequent removal of restrictions on land. Both Canada and the U.S. have worked closely with industry representatives in revising these guidelines and will continue to work with stakeholders to ensure specific requirements are met. Continually improving our survey strategies and enhancing the required measures when PCN is detected are key to preventing the spread of this pest while ensuring the continued trade of seed potatoes across the Canada-U.S. border.
