Chris and Keasha Draft

The lung cancer survivor-advocate who raises the most money will join Team Draft at the Super Bowl.

ATLANTA (PRWEB)
November 27, 2019

Chris Draft faced some tough opponents during his 12 years in the NFL, but nothing prepared him for the news he and girlfriend, Keasha, received when Keasha, a never-smoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite long odds, Chris and Keasha made a choice to fight back, and 8 years ago today, standing hand-in-hand, they launched Team Draft, as part of the Chris Draft Family Foundation at their wedding. Keasha died a month later.

“When Keasha was diagnosed, she knew she had two choices: she could give up and accept death or she could live each day to the fullest,” says Draft. “Keasha was fighter, so she chose to give it everything she’s got,” he says.

“On our wedding day, Keasha and I made two commitments: one to each other and one to the lung cancer community,” Draft continues. “Keasha knew our second commitment couldn’t be accomplished without a team, so instead of gifts, she asked our guests to join the fight by donating to our foundation,” Draft explains. Those donations became the seed money for Team Draft, helping launch its Campaign To Change The Face Of Lung Cancer.

“Keasha is proof that anybody can get lung cancer; it’s not just a ‘smoker’s disease’,” says Draft. “And if you believe anybody can get it, you have to be committed to everybody,” Draft explains. “Keasha knew that our commitment had to be about more than just her; it had to be about the entire lung cancer community,” he says, adding “for Keasha, the fight wasn’t about ‘me,’ it was about ‘we.’”

From the beginning, Team Draft has been on a mission to identify and support individuals and institutions who, like Keasha, choose to give it everything they’ve got to fight lung cancer—individuals and institutions willing to stand with Team Draft and fight not only for themselves, but for their communities. For Team Draft, it has always been about “we” and not “me”—just as Keasha intended.

Team Draft’s Campaign has taken it to hundreds of cancer centers around the world in search of institutions willing to talk about the research they are doing and how they are changing lives. Through its Survivor At Every Stadium initiative, Team Draft, working with likeminded institutions and organizations, identifies survivors who, like Keasha, choose to stand up for themselves and the millions living (or who will be diagnosed) with lung cancer. Once Team Draft identifies these “survivor-advocates,” it provides them with the opportunity to use Team Draft’s unique platform to share their stories at NFL, NBA, MLS, NHL, and college football games, weaving a broader narrative about the true nature of lung cancer and the hope that now exists.

Team Draft’s annual Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge brings it all together. In this one-of-a-kind fund raising challenge, survivor-advocates compete to raise funds for awareness and research. The survivor-advocate who raises the most money will join Team Draft at the Super Bowl. The runner-up receives a trip to the Pro Bowl. The third place finisher will join Team Draft at the Taste of the NFL—a food and wine festival held the night before the big game where guests savor dishes prepared by top chefs while visiting with NFL legends.

In addition to raising awareness, the Super Bowl Challenge raises funds for other lung cancer organizations and treatment centers. Because Team Draft’s Campaign has always been about “we” and not “me,” participating survivor-advocates raising more than $5,000 may commit 90% of those funds to a lung cancer organization or cancer center of their choice.

While Team Draft hopes to have survivor-advocates from all 32 NFL cities participate in the Challenge, the goal every year is for all NCI designated cancer centers and lung cancer organizations, regardless of location, to identify and support a survivor-advocate in the Challenge. “We know the key to winning this fight is for cancer centers and lung cancer organizations to identify and support their survivor-advocates,” Draft explains. “We are challenging all cancer centers and organizations to help fulfill the commitment Keasha and I made on our wedding day by choosing to identify and support survivor-advocates who are willing to share their stories and talk about the great work they are doing to fight lung cancer,” he says.

Team Draft is also challenging individuals to help fulfill Chris and Keasha’s commitment by joining its Campaign by donating to the Chris Draft Family Foundation at http://www.chrisdraftfamilyfoundation.org or supporting a participating survivor-advocate in the Super Bowl Challenge at https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/2020-lung-cancer-survivors-super-bowl-challenge.

“It takes at team to tackle cancer, and we need your help,” Draft adds. Will you choose to stand up for your community?

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)
November 27, 2019

NucleusHealth, the medical image management and teleradiology services provider, today announced that its cloud-based platform Nucleus.io has debuted major feature sets that allow the system to readily demonstrate cloud PACS functionality on a wider scale. This release will be shared with the public for the first time at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL.

NucleusHealth has harnessed its clinical expertise as the largest pure teleradiology provider in the U.S. to build an innovative cloud-based picture archiving communications system (PACS). The Nucleus.io PACS will not only sustain and grow the company’s own practice but will allow organizations around the world to scale for the future. For over twenty years, the company forged its way ahead by moving medical imaging to the internet and eventually to the cloud with an image management solution that was launched seven years ago. Today, NucleusHealth has over 7,000 facilities using its technology for medical image management and interpretation.

Looking to the future of medical imaging, the company is debuting the first high-performance, pure browser based PACS. Nucleus.io leverages Microsoft Azure to deliver medical images to the entire ecosystem through the cloud at the speeds of on-premise systems. This feat is achieved by combining client-side rendering and proprietary streaming technologies, solving the latency challenges associated with viewing large medical images industry-wide. Nucleus.io premiered with image exchange and cloud archiving at the forefront but has produced a comprehensive system with a high-speed diagnostic viewer that features a web-based radiology worklist, AI integration, voice recognition and reporting, and system integration capabilities.

“NucleusHealth is excited to have reached this pinnacle with the Nucleus.io medical image management platform. The purely cloud-based system was built with the intent to enhance the foundation in which medical images were managed by utilizing modern web techniques and applying them in a way that improves clinical workflows, and ultimately patient care. The end goal has always been more than providing an image exchange solution, but to bring a full-scale cloud PACS to the market and we’re seeing that come to fruition,” said Dr. Vishal Verma, NucleusHealth Chief Executive Officer.

Nucleus.io allows business leaders to now reap the financial benefits of moving large data assets to the cloud for archiving and to ease the challenges of integrating newly acquired hospitals while scaling for growth. Organizations can also alleviate radiologist burnout with the remote reading capabilities of Nucleus.io. This system offers radiologists and clinicians the performance they demand and the flexibility to access medical images securely, from anywhere, with nothing more than a web browser.

Nucleus.io will be featuring an enhanced diagnostic web-viewer that previews the support of three-dimensional image manipulation and mammography that is transmitted without the lag experienced with other viewers. NucleusHealth will also be demonstrating how it cooperates in the market through usage of standards to integrate with various machine learning platforms. Demonstrations of the Nucleus.io platform and its ability to leverage modern-day technologies to empower clinicians for the enhanced care of patients will be given in the NucleusHealth booth and the Microsoft booth, No. 10745. More information will available throughout RSNA 2019 in Chicago at the NucleusHealth exhibit, booth No. 7159.

About NucleusHealth

NucleusHealth is advancing patient care through innovation in cloud-based medical image management, facilitating a global image exchange accessible by patients, physicians and healthcare networks. NucleusHealth licenses its Nucleus.io software as a service (SaaS) and web-scale platform as a service (PaaS) technologies to healthcare organizations and companies across the globe. The company’s StatRad teleradiology service was founded in 1996, by radiologists for radiologists, and develops and implements forward-thinking solutions for radiology groups.

Botox is increasingly being used as a preventive, as well as a solution.

The medical group explains that by preventing signs of aging through small doses of injectables, younger patients are able to keep fine lines and creases at bay.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
November 27, 2019

An October 31 article on Beauty Crew reported on “The Bachelor” contestant Elly Miles, who recently opened up about having cosmetic work done before appearing on the reality TV show. She revealed that in addition to having breast implants, she has been getting Botox injections to smooth out frown lines she’s had since she was a teenager. The reality star noted that, for years, she resisted the idea, instead trying to cover the lines with makeup. Unfortunately, Ms. Miles said, her makeup would still settle into the lines. Los Angeles-based health and beauty medical group Beverly Hills Physicians notes that noninvasive cosmetic treatments such as injectables and fillers that used to be associated with middle-aged and older patients are becoming more popular among the 20 and 30-something crowd.

Beverly Hills Physicians says that, while injectables and other cosmetic treatments tend to be seen as solutions for wrinkles that have already settled into the skin, these days millennials are using the treatments as a sort of beauty prophylactic in order to maintain their skin’s youthfulness. The medical group explains that by preventing signs of aging through small doses of injectables, younger patients are able to keep fine lines and creases at bay.

These days, beauty-conscious consumers are marketed countless serums and creams that all but promise perfectly smooth skin. Beverly Hills Physicians says that, similar to what Ms. Miles experienced, facial lines and wrinkles can still show through makeup and topical products can only do so much. The health and beauty group comments that the only way to ensure smooth looking skin is by fighting the creases from the inside. By smoothing and filling out fine lines beneath the skin through injectables like Botox, patients are left with a fresh and youthful appearance, the Southern California medical group says.

Beverly Hills Physicians adds that Botox’s popularity has soared in recent years. Due to its quick and noninvasive nature, the clinic says that enhancing one’s look has never been more accessible. At the same time, the health and beauty specialists note that injections are very powerful but temporary, which is why many patients ultimately turn to a traditional surgical facelift for a more permanent improvement. It ultimately comes down to the patient’s personal priorities, says the medical group.

Whatever type of procedures interests them, readers can learn more about Beverly Hills Physicians and their services can call (800) 670-3602 or visit the clinic’s website at https://www.beverlyhillsphysicians.com/.
