Dan Senkiw PUBLISHER Mid Hudson ............................................... dansenkiw@mdnews.com 914-967-6565 .............................................. @MDNewsMetroNY Greetings, and welcome to the latest issue of MD News Mid Hudson. Thoracic aortic care in our area is surging ahead with the establishment of the Vassar Aorta Program at Health Quest's flagship, Vassar Brothers Medical Center. Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery Jason Sperling, MD, brings an extraordinary depth of experience to a program that is equipped to ha ndle the most complex procedures but that a lso recognizes the overwhelming majority of patients require long-term, comprehensive care rather than surgery. Our cover feature discusses how the Vassar Aorta Program is promoting excellent outcomes and restoring patients' peace of mind. In a recent study, urinary and sexual function improved among men who underwent long-term testosterone therapy, shedding new light on the debate about the risks and benefits of that approach. A feature in our clinical section about men's health examines the findings. We also discuss prospects for more precise early diagnosis of prostate cancer's aggressiveness. In addition, you will find information about the latest healthcare-related events in the area in our People in the News and Local News sections, and we provide practice management tips and news about some up-and-coming medical devices. You can leverage MD News' multiple platforms to share information about your organization's capabilities with the area's referring physicians.
