By Pamela Williams and Felix Digilov, Fisher Phillips As the United States grows increasingly diverse, so does the American workforce. This diversity is encapsulated not only in race and gender but also in the age of workers. About 27% of 65- to 74-year-olds were employed either full- or part-time in 2016. That number is expected to reach 30% by 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The U.S. Census Bureau predicts that,...
By Tracy Hu, 4th-year medical student, UTMB, Family Medicine The fourth year of medical school is a crucial time for exploring different dimensions of one’s chosen field and gaining skills in preparation for residency.

A four-week course, CIM exposes the learner to complementary and alternative medicine such as acupuncture and herbal...

A solid financial foundation to support organizational agility and resilience is critical when serious matters such as health — and life — are involved. What if you could not rely on the stability of your local ambulance or fire service? By the same token, instability tends to have a...
A one-year follow-up study led by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center revealed a majority of patients with mantle cell lymphoma resistant to prior therapies may benefit from treatment with CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. The multi-center, Phase II study reported that 93% of patients responded to the CAR T-cell therapy, with 67% achieving a complete response. Forty-three percent of the first 28 patients treated are still in remission over...
A study led by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center showed that treatment combining lower doses of chemotherapy with the monoclonal antibody inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO), with or without the drug blinatumomab, is safe and effective in patients over 60 years of age who were newly diagnosed with a high-risk form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) known as Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL. “This study demonstrated that reduced-intensity chemotherapy, when combined with INO, resulted in...
Houston Methodist Clear Lake Hospital recently opened its expanded cardiac catheterization lab. The new cath lab has doubled in size and incorporates the latest and most sophisticated technology. This includes a biplane interventional imaging system, which uses two rotating digital X-ray cameras to provide the most detailed, three-dimensional blood vessel and soft tissue images available – while drastically reducing patient exposure; all configurable to the performing physician’s preferences. The cardiac cath lab’s newest feature...
