Friday is National Mammography Day
SUMMARY: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with the third Friday dedicated to National Mammography Day, emphasizing the importance of early detection through mammograms. Recent UC Davis research indicates that false positives—when a mammogram prompts further tests despite a lack of cancer—can discourage women from returning for future screenings. This follow-up process can be stressful, as women may worry about having cancer. However, health professionals stress that additional imaging is common and typically results in normal findings. It’s crucial for doctors to communicate the normalcy of false positives to encourage ongoing screening and promote awareness.

Dominic Garcia reports the day highlights how critical mammograms are in detecting the disease early.

Turkey arrests Swedish journalist over alleged terrorist connections to a pro-Kurdish group
SUMMARY: Turkish authorities arrested Swedish journalist Joakim Medin upon his arrival at Istanbul airport, charging him with “membership in a terrorist organization” and “insulting the president.” Medin, from Dagens ETC, was detained after he allegedly participated in a January 2023 rally in Stockholm supporting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which Turkey labels a terrorist group. The Turkish Presidency’s Counter Disinformation Center stated the arrest was not due to his journalistic work. Following the recent nationwide protests, over a dozen journalists have been detained as part of a crackdown on media coverage in Turkey.
