Spinal Simplicity Announces New Real-World Fusion Study for It’s Minuteman Device


The study reflects 43 patients representing 69 total treated levels who received a CT scan at a mean of 459 days post-procedure. Fusion was assessed by three independent radiologists showing 93% of the assessed levels were fused.

There were also no instances of device migration, mechanical failures, or device related reoperations. The analysis from the radiologists demonstrated that Minuteman provides clinically meaningful fusion rates with a low risk of spinous process fracture or other device related complications.

“Thank you to Dr. Gabriel Jasper,Dr. Matthew Skoblar,Dr. Doug Beall and Dr. Tom Hedmanfor their significant contribution to this work. The purpose of this study was to evaluate lumbar spinal fusion outcomes in real-world patients instrumented with the Minuteman device,” said Adam Rogers, VP of Regulatory and Engineering. “We were able to show that patients receiving instrumented posterior arthrodesis of the lumbar spine using the Minuteman did indeed fuse at a rate comparable to other lumbar fusion constructs, and that the Minuteman performed very well mechanically with no intraoperative complications or device-related reoperations.”

Brown PhD Student Makes Waves to Fight Cancer


“I’ve swum recreationally my entire life, so I was excited to learn that Swim Across America funds the Woman and Infants Hospital labs I work in under Drs. Kate Grive and Nicole James,” said Payton. “Swim Across America’s mission aligns with my values, and its support of our translational research in early-stage breast and gynecologic cancer has been vital.”

Payton sits on Swim Across America’s Rhode Island event planning committee. Earlier this year, she attended the Swim Across America national leadership summit and subsequently joined the associate board, which supports the nonprofit’s mission by fostering student and community engagement through initiatives such as the new College Ambassador Program. At this year’s Rhode Island Swim, Payton will volunteer on the beach before and after she dives in to swim a mile with the One Fin Tunas team captained by Dr. David Edmonson.

“Swim Across America’s annual grant literally supports everything I do, not just supplies and equipment,” noted Payton. “Those funds enabled me to join the lab in 2021 as a full-time graduate student starting a new project on triple-negative breast cancer and immunotherapy. I’m grateful for this experience and proud to be part of the next generation of cancer researchers supported by Swim Across America.”

Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in molecular and cellular biology at University of Arizona and a master’s degree in environmental health at Boston University. Besides her academic studies and cancer research work, she is an avid rower and coordinates science outreach programs for students in under-represented communities.

Since 2010, Swim Across America’s open water charity swim in Rhode Island has raised more than $2 million for cancer research at Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. These funds helped researchers in the Program in Women’s Oncology Center for Biomarkers & Emerging Technology discover a biomarker for ovarian cancer and introduce to clinical practice an algorithm that estimates with specificity the risk of ovarian cancer in women with a pelvic mass. This test is now used worldwide and is a game changer for women with ovarian cancer, which is notoriously difficult to diagnose at an early stage when it is most treatable. To learn more, see Women & Infants Hospital’s impact statement at https://bit.ly/saa-ri-wih23.

Charity Swim Event Details
Swim Across America’s 2023 Rhode Island swim kicks off Saturday, September 9, at 9:30 a.m., with a celebration ceremony followed by ¼-mile, ½-mile, and 1-mile swim waves totaling 650 swimmers. Attending Olympians include Block Cancer founder Elizabeth Beisel, Swim Across America – Rhode Island co-director Alex Meyer, Swim Across America COO Janel Jorgensen McArdle, Swim Across America vice president of partnerships and former world record holder Craig Beardsley, and this year’s event emcee Eric Wunderlich. Women & Infants Hospital reps will include president & COO Shannon Sullivan, Program in Women’s Oncology director Dr. Paul DiSilvestro, Swim Across America-funded principal investigators Kate Grive and Nicole James and others who will staff a cancer information booth.

Other event attractions include merch tents hosted by Swim Across America and onsite sponsors JOLYN Clothing and Gill Marine, disc jockey music courtesy of local fav The Face Show, temporary tattoos, beach games, Coca-Cola donated beverages, snacks compliments of Fulfill Nutrition, and boxed lunches from Gansett Wraps. Learn more, register, or donate at swimacrossamerica.org/rhodeisland.

Swim Across America was founded in 1987 with its first open water event in Long Island Sound. Since that time, the nonprofit organization has raised more than $100 million to fight cancer. In its 36 years of making waves to fight cancer, more than 100,000 swimmers and 150 Olympians have swum the circumference of the earth three times, uniting a movement to fight cancer that has created a groundswell of support spanning all generations. Today, more than 24 communities hold open water swims and hundreds of charity pool swims each year, from Nantucket to under the Golden Gate Bridge, which support innovative cancer research, detection and patient programs.

Swim Across America’s funding of clinical trials for patients helped contribute to four FDA approved life-saving immunotherapy cancer treatments: Yervoy, Opdivo, Tecentriq and Keytruda. In June of last year, a clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering was published in The New England Journal of Medicine that showed a 100 percent success rate in treating patients in a phase 2 clinical trial for advanced rectal cancer with dostarlimab, an immunotherapy treatment produced by GlaxoSmithKline. The clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering was funded by early-stage grant funding from Swim Across America. More than 60 scientific grants are funded each year and there are now ten dedicated Swim Across America Labs at major institutions including: Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, John Hopkins Medicine Baltimore, Rush University Medical Center Chicago, Baylor Scott & White Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center in Dallas, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center New York, Infusion Center at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and San Francisco, the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, The Swim Across America Pediatric Research Lab at Columbia University Medical Center New York, and The Swim Across America Laboratory at Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine.

The National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO®) Gains Congressional Support in Codifying Locum Tenens Healthcare Providers as Independent Contractors


The National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO®) applauds the introduction of the Health Care Provider Shortage Minimization Act by Reps. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) and Neal Dunn (R-FL).

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO®) applauds the introduction of the Health Care Provider Shortage Minimization Act by Reps. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) and Neal Dunn (R-FL).

The bill seeks to ensure that underserved and rural communities can continue to access highly skilled health care professionals. Locum tenens, or temporary physicians and practitioners, play a crucial role in filling gaps in hospital staffing. They provide essential care, especially in rural and underserved communities.

The bill codifies their status as independent contractors, which will allow them to continue treating patients nationwide. This is of paramount importance as approximately 85% of hospitals, medical groups, and other health care facilities use locum tenens doctors. On an annual basis, the locum tenens industry provides an estimated one million days of physician coverage and over 20 million patient visits nationwide.

This bill will help doctors and advanced care practitioners continue to provide those desperately needed services. NALTO®) is grateful for the support of Congressman Carter and Congressman Dunn in ensuring access to physicians and other healthcare providers, especially in hard-to-access rural communities.

“NALTO appreciates Congressman Carter’s and Congressman Dunn’s support to help ensure accesses to physicians and other healthcare providers, especially in hard-to-access rural communities. This bill strengthens the ability of doctors and advanced care practitioners to provide on-the-spot care in a variety of settings, including hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, and other medical facilities in all areas of the United States. Locum Tenens providers are especially important for undeserved areas like rural communities, the Veterans Administration, and Indian Health Services. On an annual basis, the locum tenens industry provides an estimated one million days of physician coverage and over 20 million patient visits nationwide. This bill will help doctors and advanced care practitioners continue those desperately needed services,” said Matt Young, National Association of Locum Tenens (NALTO) President.

About NALTO® (www.NALTO.org): The National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations® (NALTO®) is the only professional association of temporary physician staffing firms committed to a code of ethics and to maintaining the highest industry standards.
