Tamika Mallory Of Until Freedom Criticizes The California District Attorneys Association’s Request For The NFL To Pull Stephon Clark PSA

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Until Freedom, a racial justice organization co-founded by leading activists Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, hip-hop artist Mysonne Linen and civil rights attorney Angelo Pinto, today criticized the California District Attorneys Association’s request for the NFL to pull its Stephon Clark PSA.

The league’s Inspire Change platform initially released the educational PSA in late-July that shed light the 2018 murder of Sacramento’s Stephon Clark in his grandmother’s backyard. However, citing a «misrepresentation of facts,» the California District Attorneys Association made the request on Aug. 4 to axe the Inspire Change public service announcement immediately. 

Until Freedom is now pushing back on the CDAA’s insensitive request.

«The CDAA has one set of facts, but our facts are clear – Stephon Clark was unarmed, he was innocent and he was murdered in his grandmother’s yard,» said Mallory. «It’s incredibly problematic and concerning for top law enforcers and officials to tell the NFL, Stephon’s family and his community that police have the right to kill you for simply being suspected of a crime. The CDAA’s statement is a perfect example of the huge conflict of interest when prosecuting cops and it lacks self-awareness. It is not the role of police officers to be the judge, jury and executioner.»

Ariadne Labs and The Learning Accelerator Launch the Parabola Project to Help Schools Minimize COVID-19 Health Risks While Maximizing Learning

BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Ariadne Labs and The Learning Accelerator…

BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Ariadne Labs and The Learning Accelerator announced the launch of The Parabola Project, an initiative that aims to rapidly develop evidence-informed tools to help school system leaders identify options for school reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Parabola Project draws on expertise from both the education and health communities with the goal of minimizing health risks to students, staff, and teachers, while maximizing learning for all students.

«Reopening schools safely has far-reaching health and safety implications for teachers, staff, and students, as well as for the broader communities in which they live,» said Asaf Bitton, MD, MPH, Executive Director of Ariadne Labs, a joint center for health systems innovation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. «Carefully weighing COVID-19 transmission risks with the need for children to have access to a productive learning environment is critical to our ability to move forward into our next phase of normal. This work aims to provide school leaders with implementation options to consider for a more safe and comprehensive approach to school reopening in the upcoming weeks and months.»

Resources, which are available free of cost, include:

Developed in collaboration with several school districts in Massachusetts where the guide is also currently being piloted, The School Reopening Readiness Guide outlines a set of core public health principles to consider when approaching safe school reopening and a set of related specific implementation options for district and school leaders to consider applying to their own context. Because the pandemic and the research to mitigate it continue to rapidly evolve, resources will be regularly updated with revised recommendations to reflect the latest scientific evidence.

«We must focus on reopening in ways that meet our shared aspirations for community safety, wellbeing, and learning,» said Beth Rabbitt, Ed.L.D., Chief Executive Officer of The Learning Accelerator, a national nonprofit that is working to make the ‘potential’ possible and practical for every teacher and learner. «Doing this will require thinking technically and adaptively, and looking at problems through multiple perspectives, including education, public health, and, crucially, the experiences and needs of practitioners, parents, and students. The Parabola Project seeks to do that, offering not just concrete recommendations but frames and common language to help leaders make decisions and implement with the whole picture in mind given their local context.»

The Parabola Project is funded by the generous contributions of the One8 Foundation.

Hoag Offers Clinical Trial for Pancreatic Cancer Patients

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian has been selected to conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial that researchers hope will demonstrate preliminary efficacy on pancreatic cancer.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian has been selected to conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial that researchers hope will demonstrate preliminary efficacy on pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with a five-year survival rate of just 5%. The new combination therapy uses the body’s own immune system to fight off deadly cancer cells.

«Hoag will be the first in Orange County to offer cell therapy for solid tumors, and was exclusively selected as the only hospital in Orange County to offer this pancreatic cancer trial as part of its new cell therapy program,» said Burton L. Eisenberg, M.D., F.A.C.S., executive medical director of Hoag Family Cancer Institute and the Grace E. Hoag Executive Medical Director Endowed Chair.

«Pancreatic cancer is a deadly cancer. Our present-day therapies are better than they use to be, but science is not anywhere near where it needs to be for these patients,» he said. «Hoag continues to push forward and expand our ability to offer patients with advanced pancreatic cancer new hope as we deliver on innovative treatments, such as immunotherapy clinical trials.»

This type of immunotherapy, also known as cell therapy, harnesses the body’s own immune system to target, kill and «remember» cancer cells. The agents involved in this pancreatic cancer clinical trial have been «designed» to find pancreatic cancer cells and initiate a large immune response against them. This may allow the body to develop its own antibodies to fight the cancer.

The treatment involves combining standard-of-care chemotherapy with investigational therapies, including cell therapy company NantKwest’s tumor-targeted natural killer cells, PD-L1 t-haNK; ImmunityBio’s superagonist, N-803, and the drug aldoxorubicin HCI. The trial will compare the results of the combination therapy against the use of chemotherapy alone in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

«This unique approach to orchestrating the innate and adaptive immune systems to target and kill cancer cells may be an important new approach for pancreatic cancer patients,» said Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NantKwest and ImmunityBio. «We are excited to collaborate with Hoag to offer this investigational approach to more patients who suffer from pancreatic cancer.»

Hoag’s commitment to innovation and excellence has earned the hospital a reputation as an effective partner for these investigational new therapies on-par with leading academic centers.

«For many patients, especially those with advanced cancers, a clinical trial can offer a more effective treatment option than standard therapy,» Dr. Eisenberg said. «Hoag continues to relentlessly pursue innovative treatment options and leading-edge medical advances to deliver a level of care that is truly personalized medicine.»

Road Map To Reducing Colorectal Cancer Deaths

CHICAGO, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Fewer people would die of colorectal cancer if health care providers adopted a new model of screening that combines better risk assessment, more options for noninvasive testing and more targeted referrals for colonoscopy.

That’s the course laid out by the American…

CHICAGO, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Fewer people would die of colorectal cancer if health care providers adopted a new model of screening that combines better risk assessment, more options for noninvasive testing and more targeted referrals for colonoscopy.

That’s the course laid out by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) in the recently published white paper «Roadmap for the Future of Colorectal Cancer Screening in the United States.» The lead author is Joshua Melson, MD, MPH, Rush Unversity Medical Center gastroenterologist and a member of the AGA Center for GI Innovation and Technology.

«If we offered tests that were convenient, accurate and lower cost, and we could help people choose the best option based on their individual cancer risks, we would save more lives,» said Melson.

The paper sets the target and the steps for scientists and industry partners to take in exploring new biomarkers and developing tests that will turn the tide.

More people tested, more lives saved

At least one in four Americans who should be screened for colorectal cancer has never been tested. Yet colorectal cancer, the nation’s second deadliest cancer, is highly preventable and treatable when found early. That’s after years of effort to increase compliance with testing recommendations.

The AGA gathered 60 experts in gastroenterology and research to envision how screening could reach its full potential. Their conclusion: To significantly reduce the number of colorectal cancer cases and deaths would require a universal approach to screening that reaches more people and offers alternatives in addition to colonoscopy.

«Approximately 67% of eligible Americans are screened for colorectal cancer. We need to improve our strategies to curb the cancer that ranks second for deaths in the U.S.,» said Sri Komanduri, MD, AGAF, chair of the AGA Center for GI Innovation and Technology. «AGA is proud to introduce this white paper — the first step in our mission to develop a more structured screening program that can increase screening rates, catch more colorectal cancers early, and save countless lives.»

Currently, colorectal cancer screening usually begins when a physician recommends a colonoscopy based on the patient’s age or other risk factors. The colonoscopy allows the gastroenterologist to fully examine the colon and remove any precancerous polyps that are found. Polyps are found about a quarter of the time. But having a colonoscopy requires scheduling well ahead of time, taking time off work, arranging a ride home and going through a bowel-emptying routine.

New approach

A new approach would:

  • Offer noninvasive testing up front, such as stool testing, and integrate these options with colonoscopy.
  • Share decision-making with the patient and consider personal risk factors: colonoscopy for those at high risk, or initial noninvasive testing for those at lower risk.
  • Assign colonoscopy when it would provide the greatest benefit, rather than as the default screening method. This would improve access to patients who most need a colonoscopy.
  • Systematically initiate screening, follow-up testing and surveillance, rather than rely only on a physician’s recommendation.
  • Ensure appropriate screening is readily available to at-risk individuals, with no social, racial or economic disparities.

To make this vision a reality, the authors set a course for development of affordable, highly accurate, easy-to-use noninvasive tests, as well as research into how best to integrate the different types of tests and who would benefit most from each based on individual risk factors.

Two noninvasive tests in use today are the stool-based fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and the multi-target stool DNA test (MT-sDNA).

FIT, which looks for hidden blood in the stool, is the most readily available. The MT-sDNA has emerged as an alternative to FIT that is more sensitive in detecting colorectal cancer but less specific in its findings. Both tests can identify markers of large colon polyps and cancer. MT-sDNA tests carry a higher price — more than $500 compared to about $25 for FIT.

«The ideal test needs to be highly sensitive and highly specific, as well as convenient, with low risk and low cost,» Melson said. «It would identify lesions that have a high potential to progress to colorectal cancer in the short term.»

Defined targets

To achieve that goal, the AGA initiative defined targets for industry partners and scientists who are developing colorectal cancer screening tests and exploring novel molecular biomarkers, including biochemical, microbiome, genomic, proteomic or epigenomic markers. With input from the major endoscopic and noninvasive testing companies, the authors defined criteria for meaningful endpoints of what are the important lesions a noninvasive marker would be able to detect and at what level of accuracy, in an affordable way.

The authors set forth the aspirational goal of developing a minimally invasive, easy-to-use test that will «detect advanced adenomas and advanced serrated lesions with a one-time sensitivity and specificity of no less than 90%.»

In addition, all types of colorectal cancer screening would benefit from a better understanding and more thorough identification of risk factors to help identify the most appropriate screening for the individual patient.

Thanks to advancements in electronic health records, health care providers can share information across institutions that will provide a full picture of the patient’s medical history, including screening history and results. This would allow for more accurate risk assessment paradigms that include past colonoscopy polyp data, molecular markers if found, and family history.

With a clearer risk assessment, the provider and patient could share in deciding the most appropriate test – colonoscopy for those at high risk, or initial noninvasive testing for those at lower risk. Also, more thorough risk assessment would reduce the number of colonoscopies performed that provide little benefit and flag those patients who would benefit most from colonoscopy. Test rates would benefit from patient buy-in and from easier access.

Ultimately, these advances will support the development of organized screening programs that can identify and connect people who need to be screened with the testing best suited for them.

The clear aligners market consists of revenue generated from the sales of clear aligners, by the companies that manufacture them. Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that are used to align and straighten the teeth by using force to regulate their movement.

North America was the largest region in the clear aligners market in 2019. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period.

In January 2019, Straumann Group, a Switzerland based dental equipment and supplies manufacturing company, has entered into a partnership with Tianjin ZhengLi Technology. By partnering with Tianjin ZhengLi Technology Company Limited (ZhengLi Technology), whose clear-aligner device has regulatory approval in China, the Straumann Group has facilitated its strategy to penetrate the market for orthodontic clear aligners in China. Straumann has also acquired exclusive distribution rights for its aligners in China.

The clear aligners market covered in this report is segmented by product into ceramic braces; clear aligners; lingual braces. It is also segmented by material type into polyurethane plastic; polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG); polyvinyl chloride (PVC); others and by end-user into hospitals; dental and orthodontic clinics.

A major factor that limits the clear aligners market growth is its high cost. The cost of clear aligners is higher than that of metal braces. For instance, the average cost of clear aligners ranges from $3,500 to $8,000, while the metal braces price ranges from $2,500 to $6,000. This difference in cost is primarily due to the customization as clear aligners are designed according to the patient’s condition and severity. Therefore, high prices of clear aligners are likely to hamper the market.

Dental 3D printing is an emerging technology in the clear aligners market. 3D printing has many applications in the dental industry which include bridge models, surgical guides, clear aligners and dentures. However, clear aligner manufacturing is the most common use of dental 3D printing, as it helps in designing clear aligners cost-effectively. The majority of clear aligners manufactures are currently using 3D-printed moulds for manufacturing the clear aligners. For instance, in 2019, the smile direct club has collaborated with HP to produce 20 million 3D printed clear aligner dental moulds in a year, which is around 50,000 aligners in a day.

The rising prevalence of dental malocclusion across the world is the major factor responsible for the growth of the clear aligners market. Malocclusion is a medical disorder where the teeth are misaligned and/or incorrect relation between the teeth of the upper and lower dental arches. The incidence of malocclusion is high with variations between various geographic regions and age groups. It is one of the most common dental problems along with dental caries, gingival disease, and dental fluorosis. As of January 2020, the Invisalign system of Align Technology, a leading player in the clear aligners market, treated 2 million patients who started treatment using the Invisalign system. Invisalign system is used for straightening and aligning of teeth. This shows the increase in the adoption rate of clear aligners for straightening and aligning of misaligned teeth contributing to the growth of the clear aligners market.

MakeFoodSafe.com’s Salmonella Lawyer Files First Salmonella Lawsuit in Montana in Red Onion Salmonella Outbreak

GREAT FALLS, Mont., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — National Salmonella Lawyer Jory Lange of The Lange Law Firm, PLLC and

GREAT FALLS, Mont., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — National Salmonella Lawyer Jory Lange of The Lange Law Firm, PLLC and Montana Personal Injury Attorneys Alexander (Zander) Blewett III and Drew Blewett of Hoyt & Blewett, PLLC in Great Falls filed the first Salmonella Lawsuit in Montana in the red onion Salmonella outbreak. People all across the United States and Canada are calling The Lange Law Firm, PLLC about the red Onion Salmonella outbreak.

Montana Red Onion Salmonella Outbreak Will Continue to Grow

At least 33 people in Montana have contracted Salmonella from red onions.  Salmonella Lawyer Jory Lange says, «This is already the biggest Salmonella outbreak of 2020.  It is likely to continue to grow.  Thompson International recalled its contaminated onions just last Friday.  Many people still have these recalled onions in their homes.  There’s a real risk that people who have not yet heard of the onion recall may be eating onions that are tainted with Salmonella.»

Jory Lange recommends that, «People should check their onions.  If they see any of these brands, they should throw their onions out:  Thompson International, Thompson Premium, Kroger, Food Lion, Utah Onions, Onions 52, Hartley’s Best, Imperial Fresh, Majestic, Tender Loving Care, and El Competidor.  It’s just not worth the risk.»

Thompson International Red Onion Salmonella Recall

AARP Survey: 83% of Global Executives Agree Multigenerational Workforce is Key to Growth and Success

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, AARP released a new survey revealing global executives’ thinking about the rapidly-aging workforce. Among the findings: 83% of global business leaders recognize that multigenerational workforces are key to growth and long-term success of…

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, AARP released a new survey revealing global executives’ thinking about the rapidly-aging workforce. Among the findings: 83% of global business leaders recognize that multigenerational workforces are key to growth and long-term success of their companies. Conducted in the fall of 2019 and the spring of 2020, the study surveyed nearly 6,000 employers in 36 countries. More than 70% of survey data were collected during the pandemic, a time when millions of older workers in the U.S. and elsewhere are unemployed, furloughed or facing uncertainty in their careers.

«As people live longer, healthier lives, they’re also working longer – a long-term trend that presents a great opportunity for employers and people of all ages to reimagine what it means to earn and learn over a lifetime,» said AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins. «Research shows that age-diverse workforces have a positive effect on employee engagement, productivity and the bottom line. It is heartening to see that business leaders around the world recognize this value, even as we’ve been concerned the pandemic could fuel ageism.»

  • The survey found that over half (53%) of the employers surveyed do not yet include age as a factor in their company’s diversity and inclusion policies. However:
  • 70% favor taking steps to promote unbiased recruitment practices,
  • Three in four (74%) would provide training and lifelong learning opportunities for older employees,
  • Two in three (68%) would purposefully design mixed-aged teams to leverage the advantages that both younger and older employees bring to the table, and
  • Over half (54%) are providing more flexible work arrangements, including teleworking. 

The survey is a continuation of the work of the Living, Learning, and Earning Longer Collaborative Initiative, a partnership between AARP, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the World Economic Forum. The Initiative was launched in 2019 to identify, share, and promote inclusive multigenerational workplace practices from around the world.

This survey was fielded to 5,998 employers across 36 OECD nations over two waves of data collection and represents only the responses of those employers surveyed.  The first wave of data was collected from 1,760 employers in October and November of 2019.  The second wave of data came from 4,238 employers in April and May of 2020. Each survey was completed by an upper-level human resources employee or executive.

About AARP
AARP is the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age. With a nationwide presence and nearly 38 million members, AARP strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to families: health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.

Funds2Orgs Reaffirms Market Position and Moves to New Global Headquarters

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Wayne Elsey, Founder & CEO, said, «During the last four months we refocused our company as we got dealt the hand that everyone else did. In April, we shifted our messaging to one of hope in the future. Moreover, we expressed our commitment to our long-term partners and new prospects to help them raise much-needed funds.

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Wayne Elsey, Founder & CEO, said, «During the last four months we refocused our company as we got dealt the hand that everyone else did. In April, we shifted our messaging to one of hope in the future. Moreover, we expressed our commitment to our long-term partners and new prospects to help them raise much-needed funds. We also focused on sharing creative fundraising solutions, including virtual, which have nothing to do with asking people for money and selling merchandise no one needs or wants. Candidly, we are humbled and thrilled by the response.»

Funds2Orgs sought to keep its fingers on the pulse of the philanthropy sector. In one survey they found, more than 75% of nonprofits canceled their existing fundraisers. Also, more than 73% noted they would miss their fundraising goals by more than 20% at a time when there are significant needs in communities. Elsey continued, «As we realized the challenge, we decided on a three-pronged approach. 1) Remove COVID-19 language since everyone knows what we face. 2) Remind people we are all in this together. 3) Create compelling virtual marketing and fundraising ideas to help as many groups and people as possible raise money. Further, we redoubled efforts digitally, through webinars and social media.»

Elsey also expressed that a 9-year-old inspired the idea for a unique direct response strategy. The child drew a shoe on a card with the words #YOUMatter, which is his brand message. Moved by this gesture, Elsey immediately contacted the parents to acquire the rights to the image. He then used the picture on social media and in print as a point of inspiration for all who saw it. Within a week, the direct mail house mailed out 35,000 cards with the image, and it was enthusiastically received.

«In addition, during this regroup period, it was a perfect time for us to move into the new global offices that we acquired last year. Our tenants were struggling, and we released them from their leases and made them whole even though they ended their leases early,» Elsey said, «We believe as a company that we always have to do right by others, and it was the right thing to do. I have always said, treat others like you want to get treated. Today, we opened our global headquarters, consolidating our logistics, warehousing, and our expanded fundraising team. We are all now in one location with double the space.»

Because of the commitment to growth and partners, Funds2Orgs increased growth, which was enhanced by sharpening the marketing strategy to help the public learn how to fundraise differently—in-person or virtually. By the end of 2021, the company plans to double in size due to the demand for a sustainable fundraiser. For more information about Funds2Orgs, please visit Funds2Orgs.com.
