The Consequences of COVID-19 on Breast Cancer Screenings in an Underserved Urban Population and the Screening Access of Value for Essex Program's Efforts to Control the Damage.

Objective: This study aims to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on breast cancer screening in an underserved population, identify patient barriers, and discuss strategies to promote the importance of screening. Methods/operations: The Rutgers New Jersey Medical School Screening Access of Value for Essex (SAVE) program delivers cancer prevention services to the most vulnerable population in Essex County, New Jersey. The SAVE program was shut down from March 2020 to June 2020 due to COVID-19.

Evaluating Health Disparities in Radiology Practices in New Jersey: Exploring Radiologist Geographical Distribution.

Objective: This study aimed to determine if a disproportionate number of radiologists practice in high-income versus low-income counties in New Jersey (NJ), identify which vulnerable populations are most in need of more radiologists, and discuss how these relative differences can ultimately influence health outcomes.

Methods: The NJ Health Care Profile, a database overseen and maintained by the Division of Consumer Affairs, was queried for all actively practicing radiologists within the state of NJ. These results were grouped into diagnostic and interventional radiologists followed by further stratification of physicians based on the counties where they currently practice.

Double Aortic Arch in an Asymptomatic Adult.

We present a rare double aortic arch (DAA) diagnosis incidentally on CT in a 60-year-old male who presented with pneumonia. DAA is a vascular ring that typically manifests in infants or children due to compression of the esophagus or trachea, resulting in dysphagia or dyspnea. Diagnosis of DAA in adulthood is usually due to the delayed emergence of obstructive symptoms.

Pseudohyperkalaemia with acute leukaemia: association with pneumatic tube transport of blood specimens.

Falsely elevated serum or plasma potassium level can be the result of mechanical injury to blood cells. We describe pseudohyperkalaemia caused by pneumatic tube transport of blood specimens from a patient with leukaemia. Clinicians should be aware of this possibility when interpreting the clinical significance of hyperkalaemia.
