Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bkki@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 20 November

Query:

The HHS OIG recently issued a fraud alert on "Speaker Programs":

https://www.oig.hhs.gov/fraud/docs/alertsandbulletins/2020/SpecialFraudAlertSpeakerPrograms.pdf

They refer to events at which physicians are hired by drug or
medical device manufacturers to speak, and the honoraria and
perks of which are suspected as opportunities for kickbacks.

One question: In the pandemic, are any such events going on --
by Zoom, or otherwise? And doesn't the lack of live venues
reduce the opportunities for boondoggles and junketeering?

Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

As described in the magazine's editorial calendar,
"Post-intensive Care Syndrome has been a long-term concern, but
began attracting increased attention in recent years. The
pandemic has resulted in even more patients with variants of
PICS. A parallel concern is the long-term effects ("long haul")
on some patients.

will include coverage of APTA's PACER Project, a resource to
increase practitioner proficiency in cardiovascular and
pulmonary physical therapy, including critical illness sequelae."

We're especially looking for physical therapists and physical
therapist assistants who can address these issues. We'd also

PICS and/or "long-haul" patients.

Name: Carrie Ali Bottom Line Health

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bkfb@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bottom Line Health

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 20 November

Query:

We run a column where physicians address reader questions. I'm
looking for a source to write up about 250 to 300 words or to
chat on the phone and I will write up the information.

This reader is looking for information on May Thurner Syndrome.
Her full question is as follows:

Was wondering about your thoughts on MayThurnerSyndrome? I am
not sure if I have this condition but I am certainly struggling
with one swollen leg ( at least twice the size of the other ). I
was found unresponsive by my daughter and rushed to the hospital
for an 18 day stay. The leg - overnight without ANY warning was
covered in bullet size infected wounds. The infection was the
big issue of course but 18 months later I still have no relief
from the enormous leg. I was sent to a lymphedema clinic for
wrapping with very little improvement. This is very troubling
and life changing to say the least. A neighbor told me of
MayThurnerSyndrome as a possible diagnosis but so far I have not
spoken with a dr. that has taken the time to explore this
thought. I did have lymph nodes removed after a uterine cancer
surgery 18 years ago but this came on so quickly and without any
warning I feel in my heart of hearts this is something else.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Physician, NP, or PA

31) Summary: Should working boomers file for Social Security and save/invest your benefits?

Name: Tom Jackson InCharge.org

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bk8q@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: InCharge.org

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 20 November

Query:

Lots of baby boomers are remaining in the work force beyond
their full retirement age, many simply because they like their
jobs (and benefits and earnings).

Should boomers still happily working (and who plan to keep
working another couple of years) file for Social Security
benefits and save or invest them?

Under what circumstances should a still-working boomer beyond
full-retirement age file for Social Security benefits?

Under what circumstances should a still-working boomer beyond
full retirement age NOT file for Social Security benefits?

What are the upsides to filing for Social Security benefits
while working beyond full retirement age?

What are the downsides to filing for Social Security benefits
while working beyond full retirement age?

If a still-working boomer past full retirement age opts for
benefits, how much savings/investment risk should (s)he be
willing to take?

Scenario: Boomer with secure job, good benefits, attractive
salary, is past full retirement age. He plans to work another
two years.

He wonders if he and his wife should file for Social Security
benefits and use the proceeds to offset $15,000 in additional
funding of his 401(k) and fully funding her IRA.

How would you advise him? Why do it? Why not do it?

Is there a scenario under which this strategy would work for a
working boomer who hasn't reached full retirement age (and,
thus, would suffer degrees of clawbacks)?

Requirements:

I'll happily accept sources expert in the fields of personal
finance, Social Security maximization, and investment
counseling. Also college professors with expertise in these
fields. (Editor specifically mentioned the latter.)

Delighted, especially, to accept sources' email responses. Day
job restricts availability to conduct interviews during typical

34) Summary: A Executive Team Story: What is the business value of investing in a cybersecurity program?

Name: Sean Martin ITSPmagazine

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bkms@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: ITSPmagazine

Deadline: 7:00 PM PST - 20 November

Query:

We are putting together a series of podcasts to discuss how
cybersecurity helps the business with the top and bottom lines.
This episode will be presented directly from 1 or 2 C-level
executives from the organization, giving the guest/s we select
from this query a chance to tell their story on the podcast. The
story should go beyond risk management and security controls to
demonstrate how they made or saved time, money, resources,
customers, employees, products (or ??) by implementing a
finely-tuned information security program. Your response to this
query must be from an executive of the company and/or from a
line-of-business owner within the company. The response must
describe the "cybersecurity has a business value" story in 2-3
succinct, yet meaningful, paragraphs. The CxO/LoB owner must
also be able and available to expand on the story as a guest on
the podcast (we will coordinate timing after we select the best
response).

Requirements:

This specific request is limited to CxOs and line of business
owners that have a success story to share AND that are able and
available to join us for a podcast to share their story. If the
CxO/LoB owner is not able to speak on the podcast, please don't
respond to this query. This specific request excludes
submissions from cybersecurity companies; all other industries
and company types are welcome. This is NOT a request for
product/service pitches - they will be immediately discarded.
This is NOT a request for how "technology saved the day" if the
only thing that is presented in the response is the technology
that was used and is missing how it tangibly impacted the top
and/or bottom lines business in a positive manner. This is NOT a
request to sling cybersecurity jargon as a story (such as
"reduced risk" or "blocked attacks"). We want the real business
value - we want the hard figures when possible. While all of
these requirements may seem daunting, please recognize that it
means we want to capture the best story possible - that's our
mission here and is our only goal in setting the requirements as
we've done. Thanks for your understanding!

Hello! I'm writing a guide about virtual event software. The

1. How virtual event platforms remain competitive in an
increasingly popular marketplace. 2. Must-have features and
functionality (for example: chat, video, networking, "booths",
Q&A) virtual events need to run a successful event. 3. How
virtual event platforms are providing value for event sponsors.
4. What tech stacks (APIs, SDKs, Cloud storage, etc.) virtual
events use to provide an exceptional user experience. 5. User
onboarding is interesting in virtual events, because many
attendees may be using your platform for the very first time.
How do you facilitate rapid user onboarding? 6. How does your
platform encourage attendee engagement?? There's nothing worse
than a lonely message board at a packed event. 7. What does the
future of virtual events look like? How can in-person events
integrate a virtual component for those who can't travel?

Requirements:

Seeking to interview CEOs, CTOs or product managers of virtual
event platforms. Interviewees will be positioned as experts in
the field of virtual events :)

This content will be published in a downloadable guide, and

that? What are the most impactful ways to make your voice heard
if your preferred candidate did not win the race?
