Dre

The young rapper-producer charges into corporate headquarters like a revolutionary soldier storming a state armory. This is Dre gives it straight. He wants to escape the empire his beats helped build. “I’m doing my own thing. Starting fresh. Nobody to answer to but myself. It’s time.” Lost income means nothing. As Dre has come to see things, “You can’t put a price on a piece of mind.” That’s how the finale of the movie Straight Outta Compton tells it anyway. Dre served as a producer on the serviceable Hollywood depiction of the NWA story and scenes like the face-off with Suge call to mind a Chappelle Show joke on how making a movie about your own life brings too great a temptation to embellish. The very final line of Straight Outta Compton sees Suge ask Dre what the name of his new label will be. With dramatic pause, he utters the word “Aftermath.” It wasn’t subtle: the Good Doctor was exiting the bleakness of Death Row towards the light of Aftermath Entertainment and a better future. But in reality, was it all so simple? As the 20th century began to fade, Dre’s ongoing relevance was not secure. In the three years since leaving Death Row, he had seen his label-launching compilation Dr. Dre Presents: The Aftermath and supergroup project The Firm’s The Album drop with a thud — two of the few obvious failures of the Comptonite’s career. Eminem’s The Slim Shady LP was a commercial success, but whether or not Aftermath’s new star could establish himself as something beyond a fl...

Screening and assessing for prostate cancer (PCa) is a major component of a urologist’s practice. For most urologists, part of this process includes the digital rectal examination (DRE). The DRE entails using a finger to enter the rectum and feel a patient’s prostate. The DRE enables physicians to make rough estimates of prostate size and identify abnormalities suggestive of PCa. It is the first physical examination urologists learn because for a long time DREs were the best and only means to screen for and detect PCa. The DRE is ingrained in urology culture, and often is joked about in film and television to the extent that some have called it “the urologist’s handshake.” In the 1990s came the discovery of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test, which could help physicians identify PCa earlier in its course. Imperfect and somewhat controversial, PSA testing has become the gold standard for PCa screening. But since the adoption of PSA into urologic practice, other major advances in PCa detection have become available, such as the 4K score test or multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate. These newer tools help urologists decide which patients should move on to a prostate biopsy and which ones can avoid it. Despite these advancements, most urologists and even general practitioners continue to perform DREs on men seeking PCa screening. Many physicians are adamant that it is still their responsibility to do so. But does the DRE provide helpful ...

The DRE protocol is a standardized and systematic method of examining a Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) suspect to determine the following: (1) whether or not the suspect is impaired; if so, (2) whether the impairment relates to drugs or a medical condition; and if drugs, (3) what category or combination of categories of drugs are the likely cause of the impairment. The process is systematic because it is based on a complete set of observable signs and symptoms that are known to be reliable indicators of drug impairment. The DRE evaluation is standardized because it is conducted the same way, by every drug recognition expert, for every suspect whenever possible. The 12-Step DRE Protocol The DREs utilize a 12-step process to assess DUID suspects: 1. Breath Alcohol Test The arresting officer reviews the subject’s breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) test results and determines if the subject’s apparent impairment is consistent with the subject’s BrAC. If the impairment is not explained by the BrAC, the officer requests a DRE evaluation. 2. Interview of the Arresting Officer The DRE begins the investigation by reviewing the BrAC test results and discussing the circumstances of the arrest with the arresting officer. The DRE asks about the subject’s behavior, appearance, and driving. 3. Preliminary Examination and First Pulse The DRE conducts a preliminary examination, in large part, to ascertain whether the subject may be suffering from an injury or other condition ...
