We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

Methods: Patients with RI (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m ) were identified from the Midwest STEMI consortium, a prospective registry of four large regional programs comprising consecutive patients over 17 years.
Objective: A breast imaging nurse navigator (NN) was established with the goals to enhance the patient experience after biopsy, improve care timeliness, accuracy, and coordination, facilitate direct communication to patients, and increase care retention within our system. Our aim was to determine the impact of NN on patient care time metrics, communication, documentation, compliance, and care retention at our institution after breast biopsy.
Methods: Retrospective review of a six-month period before (5/1/17-10/31/17) and after (5/1/19-10/31/19) establishment of a nurse navigator in our breast imaging department was performed, including 498 patients in the pre-navigation (pre-NN) group and 526 patients in the post-navigation (post-NN) group.
Rationale And Objectives: In response to COVID-19, our institution implemented three virtual readout systems: a commercial HIPAA compliant web-based video conferencing platform used for screen-sharing (Starleaf), an interactive control sharing system integrated into PACS allowing simultaneous multi-user mouse control over images (Collaborate), and the telephone. Our aim was to assess overall satisfaction with and perceived effectiveness of these virtual readout methods to optimize best practices for the future.
Materials And Methods: An IRB-exempt survey was electronically distributed to 64 trainees and 76 attendings at one tertiary-care institution via Survey Monkey.

Background: In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), transradial access (TRA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with less bleeding and mortality than transfemoral access (TFA). However, patients in cardiogenic shock (CS) are more often treated via TFA. The aim of this meta-analysis is to compare the safety and efficacy of TRA vs.
