1) Summary: How Alcohol Depletes Nutrients in the BodyCategory: Biotech and Healthcare
Email: query-ay13@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Anonymous
Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 25 June
Query:
I am writing an article about the negative ways over consumption
of alcohol affects the human body -- specifically about how
alcohol depletes the body of nutrients and prevents it from
absorbing others. I am looking for doctors, nurses, and relevant
medical experts who can speak to this issue and provide
important information, cited statistics, and any other relevant
information.
Here is a list of questions you could choose to answer: The
negative effects of alcohol are well-documented (increased risk
of cancers, diseases, etc), but what are the lesser known ways
alcohol affects the body? How does moderate drinking deplete
nutrients in the body? (vs. over consumption) How bad is it
*really* to have 2 drinks instead of 1? 3 drinks instead of 2?
Does age have an effect on the way alcohol affects the body? At
what point should people be concerned about the way their
drinking is affecting their health and well-being?
Other potential pitches could be important things to know about
safe alcohol consumption, warning signs to look out for, or
symptoms you notice in your patients who are drinking too much,
but don't want to admit it.
This is a PR friendly post, so be sure to include links to all
of your relevant social media profiles and websites so we can
link to you in the post and share the love once the post goes
live. However, we cannot link to supplements/items for sale.
Requirements:
Must be a medical professional or other relevant expert

One of the concerns that many managers and supervisors have
about employees working from remote locations is that their
productivity will slump, they'll get less done, they'll "slack
off" and be easily distracted. While studies and reports
continue to suggest that, for the most part, this simply isn't
true and, in fact, employees working off-site tend to be more
productive, concerns persist. I'm interested in hearing from
process experts, managers, supervisors, academics and others who
can offer input/advice on how staff productivity can/should be
monitored or measured when they're working offsite. Also
interested in any best practice examples of how this is being
done.
I will not be conducting interviews for this piece. Please
submit your/your source's detailed response along with
name/title/company/location. If your input is a good fit, I'll
let you know.

solutions will grow 24.3% in 2020, according to the latest
forecast by Gartner, Inc.
Global workplace restrictions spurred by the coronavirus
pandemic will expand the cloud conferencing user base throughout
2020, but growth will taper off in 2021 as the lasting effects
of a remote workforce render conferencing services commonplace.
End-user spending on cloud-based conferencing is projected to
reach $4.1 billion in 2020, up from $3.3 billion in 2019. It is
the second-fastest growing category in the unified
communications (UC) market, behind spending on cloud-based
telephony, which is forecast to reach $16.8 billion in 2020. for
