Sports bras have come a long way from their humble beginnings when the first versions were no more than two jockstraps sewed together.

Forty years later, Theresa Toczylowski, MPT, a physical therapist at MossRehab, spoke at the Broad Street Run Health and Wellness Expo about the importance of selecting the right sports bra for runners.

She broke down the options:

Compression Sports Bra

A compression sports bra helps to control the up and down movement of the breasts during activity. This option is best for lighter athletic activity and not preferred for running.

In medical terms, it's called digital breast tomosynthesis, but it is better known as 3D mammography—and this sophisticated diagnostic tool represents a remarkable development in the early detection of invasive breast cancers. Einstein uses this breast imaging technology at no additional cost to patients, and it was one of the first medical centers in the entire country to do so routinely, starting in 2011.

One additional benefit 3D mammography lies in its lower rates of false positive results. That reduces the need for unnecessary follow-up testing. All told, 3D mammography offers vast benefits compared to the previous 2D screening.

But how does 3D mammography work? Precisely how is it different from 2D? How much more sensitive is this advanced diagnostic and screening tool?

The following interactive infographic explains it all.

Q: What does “More than Medicine” mean to you?

A: More than Medicine is exactly what the fiber of our being is. From the moment a baby takes its first breath to the moment that we get to watch a heart start beating again, to the moment that we really have the opportunity to help an Alzheimer’s patient regain clarity. These are moments that really touch your being, your inner soul.

Q: How long have you worked at Einstein?

A: 2.5 years

Q: What does “More than Medicine” mean to you?

Q: What gets you excited about coming to work at Einstein?

A: You get to develop relationships with patients and show that you care for them. I think that’s one of the neat things with oncology, you get to try to develop a relationship with each person and hopefully along their road to recovery.

When Joe Veight flipped his '93 Mustang over the guardrail on Route 553 in New Jersey and slammed into a pole so hard that it snapped in half, he should have died. Doctors told his family that if he survived, his best case scenario was to spend the rest of his life in a vegetative state.

Seventeen years later, Joe confidently walked into a room to talk about his near-death experience with a matter-of-fact attitude. He speaks about the accident and the 110 days he spent in a coma fighting for his life in a New Jersey hospital as the turning point in his life, a life that had been ravaged by drugs and alcohol.

Q: How long have you worked at Einstein?

A: Two years

Q: What does “More than Medicine” mean to you?

A: It means that what we do here is more than just treating an illness. When we do things here, we’re taking care of the whole person. It’s very easy, especially in a specialty like mine (orthopedics) to focus on what’s broken.  Then, you have to remember that there’s a whole person. They have a family, they have concerns, and they have a life they want to get back to. Factoring all of that into your care is “More than Medicine”. The work you’re going to do is going to change someone’s life.
