Drs. Kenneth Nash and Jonathan Nash of Nash Family Dentistry are enhancing smiles in Jackson, MS with porcelain veneers and other cosmetic dentistry treatments as part of their smile makeovers. By utilizing cosmetic dentistry procedures, the doctors are able to enhance the look, feel and function of a patient's smile.

JACKSON, MISS. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 28, 2020
Respected dentists, Drs. Kenneth Nash and Jonathan Nash, are transforming the lives of patients with flawed, incomplete or damaged smiles through smile makeovers in Jackson, MS. Porcelain veneers, dental implants and other cosmetic dentistry treatments are often part of a smile makeover, offering solutions to those who want to improve the look and function of their smiles.
"The first thing you notice when you encounter a person is their smile. Veneers improve the smile with minimal destruction or damage to the surrounding teeth," says Dr. Kenneth Nash. "A smile makeover can literally change a person's personality because their treatment has relieved that subconscious worry that something is wrong with their teeth or that someone has noticed them."
A smile makeover can transform a person's life by improving their self-confidence as well as their ability to use their mouth properly. Smile makeovers are composed of multiple cosmetic dentistry treatments that change the look, function and comfort of the teeth. Often, a smile makeover can take several appointments to reach the desired outcome, but once patients have completed all their treatments, their smile is drastically improved. Common treatments include: 

Porcelain veneers

Dental implants

Teeth whitening

ClearCorrect orthodontics

Crowns and bridges

One of the most versatile smile makeover treatments offered is porcelain veneers. Typically used as a form of cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers are thin "masks" for the front of the teeth that cover imperfections. The treatment for veneers is minimal and no damage occurs to surrounding teeth. Veneers can be used to fill gaps between teeth, improve the color of stained teeth, correct crooked or misaligned teeth or improve the appearance of teeth that are cracked, chipped or worn down. The procedure takes only two appointments and patients can have a healthy and attractive smile again.
Those interested in learning more about smile makeovers, porcelain veneers, or other cosmetic dentistry treatments available in the Jackson, MS area are encouraged to contact Nash Family Dentistry for a consultation at their Vicksburg, MS practice. Appointments can be made by visiting http://www.vicksburgdentist.com or by calling 601-634-1812.

Patients who are dissatisfied with the appearance or function of their mouth can receive full mouth reconstruction from distinguished Sandwich, MA oral surgeon, Dr. William Lane. When performed by an oral surgeon, full mouth reconstruction can include advanced procedures like bone grafting and facial trauma treatments to help patients who may have suffered from an accident or whose mouth causes them constant discomfort. After full mouth reconstruction, patients can return to a healthy, natural lifestyle.
"Patients that we see with a dentition that is significantly diseased complain mostly about function, such as not being able to eat what they want or digest their food properly. Secondarily, they have the issue of appearance, the cosmetic aspect of the problem," says Dr. Lane. "They are motivated by pain or active disease, and for many, it is ongoing and something they have dealt with for years and years. We are able to help them through a variety of means."
Full mouth reconstruction is designed to transform a flawed, damaged mouth into one that is both functional and attractive again. Patients may need full mouth reconstruction after an accident or trauma, or if advanced disease is present. Dr. Lane begins every consultation with an in-depth evaluation of the patient's mouth and a discussion on their wants, needs and smile goals. The full mouth reconstruction is then planned and may include one or multiple procedures with the end goal of a healthy, functional and attractive mouth. Treatments that may be performed in a full mouth reconstruction include: 

Dental implants

Bone grafting

Tooth extraction

Facial trauma treatments

Oral surgeons like Dr. Lane are uniquely qualified to perform full mouth reconstruction treatments due to their skill, training and experience. In cases where a patient needs dental implants to complete their smile but does not have enough jawbone to secure the implants, Dr. Lane performs bone grafting. Bone grafting requires delicate and careful skill to restore bone volume, both filling in the facial appearance and creating enough bone for an oral surgeon to place a dental implant. Dr. Lane has years of dental and surgical experience behind him and uses some of the most modern technology in dentistry today. For patients with dental anxiety, he offers sedation, including advanced IV sedation, to block sensations of discomfort and help patients relax.
Those in need of restorative dentistry to improve the function of their mouth or the appearance of their smile are encouraged to make an appointment with Sandwich, MA oral surgeon, Dr. Lane, by visiting http://www.laneoralsurgery.com or calling 508-746-8700 to schedule a consultation. Appointments can be made at both their Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA locations.

Renowned oral surgeon, Dr. William Lane graduated from Harvard University, received his doctorate from Boston University, and completed his residency training in oral and maxillofacial surgery in a combined program at Boston University and Tufts University.

While every journey to parenthood is unique, the common thread in these patient stories compiled by SGF is hope. In this uplifting free e-book, commemorating SGF's new "Better Approach" campaign, readers will catch a glimpse into the obstacles, setbacks, and triumphs experienced by 10 courageous SGF patients who were willing to share their story.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 28, 2020
"Patient Stories of Hope" is a collection of personal stories written by SGF patients that provide an honest and heartwarming look into the trials and triumphs patients face in their pursuit to building a family. Each story provides a different and revealing perspective and is meant to serve as a source of strength, hope, and inspiration to those still on the path to parenthood.
After recurrent miscarriages, one SGF patient recalls learning about SGF from a friend, "It did not matter the distance we had to drive—almost 10 hours in one direction—we knew we were doing the right thing. In our first encounter [with SGF] we knew it was the best decision we could have taken. Love, compassion, attention, everything we could ever expect—and more—was provided to us," recalls Andreia, who chose SGF's 100% refund guarantee program to help build their family.
After premature menopause stopped her cycles at a young age, this anonymous couple experienced deep sadness and started to lose hope. While in the process of grieving and coming to terms with this reality, they learned about embryo donation at SGF, something they had never heard of before. It brought them the child they had long hoped for.
"Our daughter has a unique story of incredible, amazing, selfless love! We feel that SGF's Donor Embryo Program is a 'win-win' situation. The donors who fought to hard and long are happy that they remaining embryos can be donated, thawed and have the chance of being born. My husband and I, who tried for so long to get pregnant, received that amazing gift," recalls one SGF patient.
Jennifer and Tara, a same-sex couple, recalled, "We began this journey with an idea of how to choose a donor, but SGF actually gave us more resources than we had expected. The provided Jennifer and I with several different options on where to receive donor sperm and helped us understand some of the medical and genetic screenings that were important in selecting a donor."
"We welcomed our sweet boy Henry into the world. Our family is now complete thanks to the inclusive care and support from Shady Grove Fertility," Tara added.
SGF patients Meghan and Joshua shared how devastated they were to hear from a previous doctor that there was 'no way' Meghan would be able to get pregnant with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). And if she did, she was told it would likely be an unsafe pregnancy. Thankfully, the couple stayed persistent and sought a second opinion elsewhere, and then finally a third opinion at SGF. "I now have a beautiful baby girl and I cannot express how grateful I am to everyone at SGF who helped my husband and me throughout our journey. Having my daughter and finally becoming a mother is nothing short of a miracle and the answer to an infinite amount of prayer," Meghan recalls.
Many people come to Shady Grove Fertility looking for answers. Affecting nearly one-third of all infertility diagnoses, PCOS is the most common ovulatory disorder in women of reproductive age. However, while myths persist that women with PCOS cannot get pregnant, the reality is that it is highly treatable and nearly every woman with PCOS should be able to get pregnant.
When SGF first opened its doors in 1991, one Shady Grove Fertility baby was born approximately every 20 days. Today, more than 12 SGF babies are born each day, every day. This ebook and their newest 'Better Approach' campaign hopefully serves as a reminder that there are now treatments available to help almost everyone conceive.
What is a 'Better Approach'? SGF believes it is arming people with knowledge about their reproductive systems, raising awareness that infertility is a real disease that affects both men and women equally, and encouraging people to seek help from a specialist sooner than later so they can make informed decisions about their care and make progress toward their dream of parenthood.

The investment further validates SHE Software's strong North American market position, spearheading further growth to build on the momentum achieved over the last two years. The firm plans to increase headcount to expand its global talent pool by 60 and develop the skillset of its existing team.
Matthew Elson, CEO of SHE Software explains, "SHE Software has played a critical role in helping develop the EHS management software industry having pioneered digital innovation for over 20 years. From our dominant position in the UK and Europe we are now focused on further scaling operations in North America."
"Our customers are individuals who deal with complex and dispersed operations where the more traditional approach to managing health and safety is no longer adequate. We typically help customers produce ROI paybacks within 12 months by improving EHS efficiencies and increasing engagement top-down, bottom-up."
SHE Software's leading-edge cloud based, mobile-first platform is transforming the corporate approach to EHS management. Building on their rapidly growing client base of more than 250 organizations, SHE Software is also developing a strong partner network in the US.
SHE Software has witnessed strong growth during the past 12 months securing more than 80 new customers and an increase of 54% in orders during 2019.
The software as a service (SaaS) firm has continued to add innovation to its flagship product, Assure, most recently launching a Business Intelligence feature that allows its corporate users to identify trends, track leading indicators and predict where preventative interventions will be most effective.
Elson continues, "We chose the Frog team because of its focus and expertise in scaling software firms like ours internationally. Frog's Scale-Up Methodology and Operating Partner team stood apart from our other options, and we very much look forward to writing the next chapter together."
Global spending on EHS software is expected to reach $1.9bn in 2024*, with the mid-risk corporate market largely unserved by dedicated modern software services and is therefore experiencing significant growth.
Mike Reid, Senior Partner at Frog Capital commented, "SHE Software's deep understanding of environmental, health and safety challenges, and how modern software engagement can transform attitudes and address key EHS issues has impressed the Frog team a great deal."
Charlie Winward, Managing Director, Northern Venture Capital Trust (VCTs) Funds at Mercia, said, "We are pleased to continue our support of SHE Software and welcome Frog Capital in this new funding round. SHE Software has made considerable progress in the EHS sector, and this syndicated round positions it well to continue its growth over the next few years and further build out its presence in the US market.
"SHE Software exemplifies the benefits of the Northern VCTs' approach to identifying and investing in technology firms. By combining our commercial and sector expertise with exciting opportunities and talented teams, we are seeking to build successful firms to create medium-term incremental shareholder value."
SHE Software is the team behind Assure, a truly user-configurable EHS management software platform that helps organizations achieve and demonstrate health and safety compliance, while generating cost-savings by reducing the administrative burden.
Deploying a mobile-first approach, employees and contractors can easily report EHS information 'at source', 24/7, on-site or off-site.
Assure is transforming how EHS is managed, engaging employees to generate new insights that help organizations target improvements and reduce incidents. Not only does Assure help demonstrate an organization's duty of care, it also reduces the financial burden of incidents and claims. All while supporting EHS decisions that are data driven and fact-based.

Medgaus Dental Group provides a solution to those suffering from damaged, broken or flawed teeth through cosmetic dentistry in Monroeville, PA. Through smile makeover treatment plans, Drs. Carl Medgaus and Maelys Aguila correct imperfections and give patients a smile they are proud to show off. These highly experienced dentists rebuild smiles using a variety of dental techniques, providing both functional and aesthetic improvements to patient smiles and quality of life.
"The smile makeover is really how we can give you back that complete smile again," says Dr. Medgaus. "All our procedures can be part of the smile makeover process, so what we want to do is the least invasive procedure that will give you the best predictable result."
A smile makeover is often an umbrella term used to describe a series of dental procedures that share the same goal of improving a patient's smile, both functionally and cosmetically. Drs. Medgaus and Aguila begin each smile makeover with a customized consultation to learn the patient's wants, needs and goals. A treatment plan will be designed that contains multiple dental procedures that will help create the patient's dream smile. Common treatments included in a smile makeover are: 

Invisalign

Teeth whitening

Crowns and bridges

Gum recontouring

Stabili-Teeth dental implants

One of the most versatile dental procedures is the dental implant. Commonly included in smile makeovers, dental implants can be used to replace failing or missing teeth with lifelike, attractive new teeth. Because of this, they restore both function and aesthetics to the smile. Patients who receive dental implants are able to bite, chew, speak and smile with confidence, knowing that their new teeth will not fall out or look unsightly. Implants also preserve jawbone structure and oral and overall health. With proper care of their dental implants, most patients can expect them to last a lifetime.
Medgaus Dental Group is a full-service dental practice that offers more than just dental implants and cosmetic dentistry. With offices in Monroeville and Pittsburgh, PA, the practice can treat gum disease, which affects over 50 percent of the population to some degree, as well as provide solutions for cases of sleep apnea.

Dr. Amir HagShenas, respected dentist in San Jose, CA, is offering patients with loose, ill-fitting dentures or numerous missing teeth the opportunity to receive a full mouth dental implant treatment in just one day. Combining state-of-the-art technology with nearly 30 years of dental experience, Dr. HagShenas and his team at Silicon Valley Smile Solutions work to provide the highest standard of dental implant treatment with the most long-lasting results.
Dr. HagShenas works closely with patients to capture a full understanding of their needs including their desired tooth size, shape, and color. He then uses a cone beam CT scanner to capture detailed images of the patient's mouth. These images help Dr. HagShenas determine the precise placement for each dental implant, including the accurate angle, depth, and position.
After a patient qualifies for a dental implanttransformation, Dr. HagShenas places the dental implants within the jaw and attaches a natural-looking temporary bridge the same day. This gives patients an immediate and fully functioning arch of teeth while they wait for the completion of their permanent bridge. Once constructed, Dr. HagShenas securely attaches the final bridge, which can last the rest of the patient's life when properly maintained.
Throughout the entire full mouth dental implant treatment, Dr. HagShenas offers personalized care to keep the patient relaxed and comfortable. He also provides sedation dentistry to ease the nerves of patients and relieve discomfort during the entire dental implant procedure.
Patients of Dr. HagShenas have enjoyed the benefits of full mouth dental implants over traditional dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants provide a permanent solution with no slipping dentures, messy adhesive, or jawbone deterioration. Patients who received this treatment experience enhanced confidence and improvement to their overall health.
"My husband had so much dental work that needed to be done," Pam, the wife of a patient of Dr. HagShenas, explains with tears. "He received Dr. HagShenas' full mouth implants. Now, when he smiles, it makes me really happy to see him happy. That's why I refer everyone I know to Dr. HagShenas."

In what has become the most professional and prestigious award program on Long Island, SightMD has once again earned top honors in the 15th Annual Best of Long Island (BOLI) 2020.
For the past seven years SightMD has been named 'Best LASIK Surgery Practice', the past six years 'Best Ophthalmologist', and for the past three years Samuel Baharestani, MD, FACS has been named as 'Best Cosmetic Surgeon', which makes SightMD the most awarded ophthalmology practice in the 15-year history of the BOLI competition.
"Being named the 'most awarded' ophthalmology practice in the history of BOLI is a tremendous honor," said Jeffrey Martin, MD, FACS, Co-Founder and CEO of SightMD. "On behalf of all the dedicated physicians and surgeons at SightMD, who work tirelessly 7 days a week to provide the personal quality care that results in this type of recognition, I want to thank the thousands of patients who participated in the voting process and who have trusted us with their vision for over 50 years," added Dr. Martin. Jonathan Lujan, CEO of SightGrowth Partners said "It is such an honor for SightGrowth Partners to be the administrative services provider for SightMD, the most awarded ophthalmology practice on Long Island."
The 'Best of Long Island' is conducted each year by the Long Island Press newspaper. The voting for 'Best of Long Island' runs from October 1st to December 15th, in which everyone can vote for their favorite physician, business person, local store or business they feel should hold a 'Best of Long Island' title. With more than 900,000 Long Island voters, it is also the largest and most popular awards program in New York.
"As physicians, we consider it a lifelong challenge to become 'the best' in our field and to earn that recognition in three categories is truly humbling. These awards serve as recognition that our efforts to serve our patients with integrity, empathy and professionalism have not gone unnoticed," commented John Passarelli, MD, Co-Founder and Chairman of SightMD
Samuel Baharestani, M.D., FACS was incredibly humbled to learn he had won the highly coveted award for the third year in a row. "As a surgeon who strives daily to treat each of my patients with the same attention and care as I would any member of my family, I am honored to be named Long Island's best cosmetic surgeon," stated Dr. Baharestani. "My goal as an ophthalmic plastic surgeon is to combine attention to detail with a passion to help my patients look and feel their best by offering the most modern techniques for those who present to me for cosmetic procedures."
"To win the 'Best LASIK Surgery Practice' is a distinct honor because of the popularity of the procedure and the number of LASIK providers in the region," said Dr. Martin. "Our iDesign LASIK procedure is truly state-of-the-art and offers patients the potential to see better than 20/20 vision," he said.
Dr. Martin pointed out that winning the 'Best Ophthalmologist' category is especially important to everyone at SightMD.

Grace Century's Healthcare Innovation Project, the Quantum Group, has achieved a landmark 17th and 18th patent.
In their continued drive to improve healthcare through technology innovation and their lasered focus on demographics regarding the worlds aging population, The Quantum Group, Inc. has been awarded two key patents.
The firms 17th patent "System And Method For Monitoring Physiological Functions" has successfully completed all reviews and is in the process of being issued.
The Patent centers around diagnostics and monitoring of the human respiratory system.
Noel Guillama, CEO for Quantum comments, "This innovation should be instrumental in monitoring the dosage for symptomatic relief of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - COPD. The concept is sufficiently simple that inexpensive microprocessors used in a greeting card could be included in a rescue inhaler, CPAP machine, nebulizer or other breathing apparatus to detect an abnormal breathing pattern. Such breathing patterns might occur for various reasons such as sleep apnea, or the patient has exceeded the dose of prescribed medication needed to recover normal breathing pattern. The typically administered medications can aggravate COPD and weaken its effectiveness, potentially shortening life for asthma and other COPD patients if overused. It is essential to meter dosage accurately."
In one brief paragraph, this new patent earned defines: a novel method to automate highly complex healthcare situational management and relieve providers of tedious and human error prone task of monitoring patient vital pulmonary function. Yet, this concept retains and improves human oversight and control of the system.
The firm's 18th Patent "Personal Attribute Cartography With Analysis Feedback" is also in the process of being issued.
Mr. Guillama believes this to be a fundamental patent that connects (by plan) IoT devices, to providers via EHR (like the company's PWeR platform) and serves as a foundation of their newly formed BlueBox.Care .
He comments further, "This new patent is ushering us to the very leading edge of patient healthcare and wellness management using connectivity. It will be able to do what was not achievable other than in a hospital environment. Today's 4G and 5G networks make it possible. We are excited about this relatively new frontier for healthcare in which we can combine our decades of healthcare knowledge with the latest technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Predictive Medicine. We cannot recall another time in which the future of has been as bright or promising. We believe that the healthcare 'ecosystem' we are creating has the potential to be not just transformative, but disruptive and become a lasting change agent to improve the direction of healthcare in the U.S. and worldwide by creating greater transparency and availability of healthcare but allowing individuals the control of their wellness to create a healthier society overall."
Scott Wolf, CEO of Grace Century comments, "We are so proud to have been involved with the Quantum Group, Inc. and to have seen such a portfolio of Intellectual Property amassed. The promise of AI, IOT, and deep machine learning, as it relates to healthcare, is truly 'living a dream.'"
About The Quantum Group, Inc.
The Quantum Group, Inc. ("Quantum") is a U.S. based applied technology healthcare enterprise platform company that has designed and/or developed proprietary medical technology platforms designed to revolutionize healthcare relationships and communications, nationally and potentially worldwide. In addition to the 18 patents issued to us, we have an additional 17 patents pending review and decision by the USPTO.
Today, global healthcare expenditures are over $8 trillion (USD) and are expected to grow to $18 trillion over the next 20 years. Based on an aging world population, we believe the only way to reduce exploding healthcare costs and improve overall care, is with the use of new systems and technology. Not technology for the sake of technology, but technology that can be transformative and drive better and more predictable outcomes. In effect, the art, science and technology of healthcare.
We believe all material improvements start with a better consumer-centric cloud-based wellness record, one that empowers the consumer, enables providers and improves the science of healthcare. Our goal was to start with electronic health records (EHR) and expand out. We are doing that now.
Over the past three years, Quantum has been transitioning from a single product company, to a platform company with numerous planned products and innovations including our existing certified EHR, PWeR (Personal Wellness electronic Record) and a completely innovative healthcare eCommerce platform. As a Company, we are continuously assessing, developing and maturing other applications that are interconnected with or will be evolving out of our flagship EHR platform, PWeR.

Deep Cover", "Event Horizon", and "Platoon" star Laurence Fishburne is lending his skills as host to the educational television show "In Depth". The "In Depth" series features a wide array of industry experts who discuss a myriad of topics that pertain to people all over the world. An upcoming episode will interview medical professionals about the latest treatments and procedures for sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that triggers a person to begin and stop breathing while sleeping. The condition affects an estimated 22 million Americans. There are three varieties of sleep apnea: central sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea, and complex sleep apnea sleep syndrome. If a person with sleep apnea goes without treatment, then they are at risk for developing some severe consequences such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, and depression. These can all lead to even more serious health consequences.
As more and more people are becoming sufferers of sleep apnea, medical professionals are creating new and different ways to treat the disorder. Some of these treatments use a tool that monitors breathing and stimulates a nerve to keep the airway open. Another type of treatment involves implanting a device in the body that opens the airway, allowing for normal breathing and peaceful sleeping.
Sleep is necessary for a healthy body, and medical experts know this, which is why they're working to find ways to help people suffering from sleeping disorders like sleep apnea. "In Depth" with Laurence Fishburne will explore these new treatments on a new episode airing soon.
"In Depth" with Laurence Fishburne is a carefully reviewed informational program before broadcast. The show has accepted a multitude of awards for its endeavors in public television.

Vowing to spread some of the wisdom that guided her from stage 4 cancer to remission in just ten months, she wrote the book Sexy After Breast Cancer. Jocelyn's powerful account of resilience is a warning shot to the disease and a reminder that women can embrace their sexiness at any stage of their fight.

The 36-month project is a collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and will advance a novel therapeutic for triple-negative breast cancer to the point of pre-IND meeting with the FDA

TUCSON, ARIZ. (PRWEB) MARCH 01, 2020
EnduRx Pharmaceuticals, advancing a drug delivery system intended to improve outcomes for patients with hard-to-treat solid tumors, has been awarded $1.4 million dollar Department of Defense grant. The 36-month project is a collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and will advance a novel therapeutic for triple-negative breast cancer to the point of pre-IND meeting with the FDA. Total project grant award is $1.75 million dollars.
"With triple-negative breast cancer, so-called because it lacks the receptors that enable the use of treatments employed for other forms of breast cancer, only about 30% of patients at best respond to standard-of-care treatment." said Stephan Morris, MD, EnduRx Principal Investigator. "There are currently few approved drugs available specifically for the treatment of this fast growing and poor-outcome type of breast cancer. Untreated, the cancer is likely to metastasize to the brain and parts of the body, and the five-year survival rate is then only a little over 10%, so there is an urgent need for an effective therapy," Morris said. "This form of breast cancer is diagnosed in about 10-20% of breast cancer patients, with an even higher proportion occurring in African-American women. We are pleased to have this opportunity to work with Dr. Naoto Ueno's breast cancer group at MD Anderson, whose access to patient-derived xenograft models should provide a high level of confidence that the EnduRx Pharmaceuticals therapeutic candidate will translate well into human subjects with triple-negative breast cancer."
About EnduRx Pharmaceuticals 
EnduRx Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Tucson firm, is part of OBDURO Biotechnologies, a San-Diego company formed in 2019, to improve delivery of drugs selectively to the site of disease and not elsewhere in the body. In 2020 OBDURO plans a funding round and will use the proceeds to further leverage the grant-sponsored activities and generate persuasive data aimed at securing pharma partnerships. EnduRx previously received a $1.75 million SBIR grant to develop a prototype of the drug delivery system. "Earlier work showed tumor-volume reductions of over 90% in mouse models, with some cures. The DoD grant will allow EnduRx to complete pharmacokinetic and toxicology analyses as well as additional anti-cancer efficacy studies, data which are required before clinical trials can be initiated." said David Loynd, Chief Executive Officer of OBDURO and EnduRx.
About the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs: 
CDMRP was established in 1992 when Congress first appropriated funds targeted specifically for breast cancer research. Since that time, additional research programs and topics have been added by Congress, and CDMRP has evolved into a global funding organization that fosters novel approaches to biomedical research in response to the expressed needs of its stakeholders --- the American public, the military, and Congress.

Clean Air Gear division of MicroSweep Corp. has introduced a novel new product that eradicates virus particles shed by a contagious person, whether they have symptoms or not. Virus particles are copies of the original virus that has been reproduced many-fold by an exhausted host-cell infection in a contagious person.
ViraKill-60 is a special type of portable air purifier that destroys virus particles using clean ozone, then neutralizes any remaining oxidant. Ozone will inactivate viruses on contact, even at very low residual concentrations. Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage to the viral RNA. Only 0.012 ppm of ozone removes all polio viral cells in less than 10 seconds.
The new ViraKill-60 (available at http://www.cleanairgear.com) creates temporary clean ozone that oxidizes viral particles on contact. Placed in a closed room and powered on, the unit cycles unattended for one hour. (The cleaning technology attacks organic molecules, including living cells, so the treatment area must be unoccupied while it cleans.) Treated premises can be reoccupied soon afterward because during the last ten minutes it neutralizes any ozone remaining in the treatment area. This is reliable because only clean ozone is produced, even in moist air, so there are no toxic byproducts to remove.
"ViraKill-60 can inactivate airborne or surface virus particles" said John Edwards, President of Clean Air Gear.
See ViraKill-60 at (http://www.cleanairgear.com) or email to info@virakill.com.
Clean Air Gear sells portable equipment to purify room air in the home and workplace.

ViraKill-60 can inactivate airborne or surface virus particles.

Elena Sandor explains her CoolSculpt, fat freezing treatment results at Pulse Light Clinic.

LONDON (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
The increasing interest in non-surgical cosmetic procedures prove that the relationship with our bodies are complicated and are subjective to different belief systems. Coolsculpting, an FDA-approved nonsurgical fat-freezing procedure, is one of the most popular treatments you come across on social media.
"Before getting into the experience with CoolSculpting, I must start at the beginning of my journey with body changing. Right before I got pregnant, I was slim, and never had any issues with fat. Still, during pregnancy, I gained more than 25 kg and because I had a c-section with post-op complications, I couldn't train or sign up to the gym for a long time. My belly wouldn't go back to my usual size, which made me feel so self-conscious when wearing a swimsuit, or any tight clothes to be honest. I didn't feel great in my body and it wasn't because of a certain image that social media is portraying of how women should look like. I just wanted to feel confident again and not worry about wearing a two piece swimsuit at the beach. Also, I wanted to ditch those terrible spanx.
About a year ago, I started some home sessions with a trainer which helped my body recover. But my tummy area still wouldn't budge, no matter how many abs I was doing, or how many diets I was sticking to. In September I had a consultation at Pulse Light Clinic to go through my body goals and transformation plan. Also, the consultant needed to check if my fat was pinchable or subcutaneous, which means the fat freezing procedure is applicable. The nonsurgical fat reduction machine is an effective method of eliminating fat cells without the need for surgery and with no harm done to surrounding tissue and skin.
Even with a good diet and healthy exercise regime, some fat cells won't decrease, therefore, I thought CoolSculpting is the perfect way for me to see some actual results. It deep-freezes your fat cells, which eventually causes them to die and be naturally expelled via your lymphatic system.
On the day of the procedure, my belly was divided in 4 regions. I sat comfortable on a bed browsing Netflix, while a vacuum-like applicator was suctioning targeted ares of fat, each region at a time for 30 minutes. The sensation when the applicator suctions on the skin is extremely cold at first, but your skin numbs and there is no pain, just a mild discomfort.
After the machine is removed, the therapist gave a massage of the frozen area of fat, which is the worst part. The pain is somewhat bearable, but it's needed to keep the blood flowing. It's also proven that the massage helps getting rid of more fat, so I had to suck it up and not cry like a baby. The same procedure had to be done for each area, so I spent around 3 hours at the clinic catching up on some documentaries and browsing my phone.
Cost wise, my treatment would have cost around £2400 as prices start from roughly £600 per applicator. Each area requires more or less applications, all determined during your consultation.
Coolsculpting is not a magic wand, although your fat will be reduced, it doesn't mean it will disappear forever. It takes exercise and a healthy lifestyle to see the area you treated fat-free. I lost around 8 kg since I started training and did my fat-freeze procedure, but I still struggle every day to maintain healthy habits.
After my procedure, my tummy swollen and I was in terrible pain, I am not gonna lie. I could barely walk, and I couldn't function for a week. About 10% of patients may suffer from after-procedure pain, and I was one of the "lucky" ones. I got seen by a doctor at the clinic a few days after my treatment and she prescribed some nerve blockers just to calm my pain. I used CBD oils and unguents like Voltarol and Biofreeze, as well as some strong painkillers. Since it takes about 3 months to see results, I had to be patient and hope for the best. After a week from my procedure, the pain slowly subsided and in about a month my tummy fat visibly reduced and I regained all my senses in my numb belly.
Why does it take such a long time to see results? After the fat freezing procedure, the body naturally disposes of the unwanted dead fat cells. This takes time as your body is busy processing and breaking down the fat cells through a procedure called Apoptosis – through which enzymes break down the cells into smaller pieces to allow for your white blood cells to remove them from your body permanently and this is why your body needs the time to adjust and reline the fat cells and contour your shape.
Obviously, judging from the before and after photo, you should understand that Coolsculpting won't get rid of all your fat, it's really meant for fine-tuning. Fat can still grow, if there's a small stubborn area you want tweaked, Coolsculpting is an option.
After 3 months since my procedure, I can gladly say I would go through with this treatment again, considering the pain. I went from size 10 to size 6 after 3 years of struggling with my fat and lack of confidence. I am so thankful to Pulse Light Clinic and the amazing consultants and doctors, so I can't recommend this clinic enough!"

Olaris' metabolite profiling platform and machine learning algorithms have the potential to accurately indicate whether HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients will respond to trastuzumab therapy

WALTHAM, MASS. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Olaris, a precision medicine company that is working to fundamentally change how diseases are treated, today announced the findings from its exploratory analysis of "biomarkers of response" (BoR) that predict whether a HER2-positive (Her2+) metastatic breast cancer patient will respond to Herceptin (trastuzumab) therapy.
Anti-Her2 therapies, such as Herceptin (trastuzumab), have dramatically improved prognosis for Her2+ breast cancer patients. However, due to patient heterogeneity the level of response varies for each patient. Using a proprietary metabolomics platform and customized machine learning algorithms, Olaris is focused on identifying the biomarker signatures that can indicate whether an individual HER2-positive breast cancer patient is likely to respond to trastuzumab as part of first line therapy.
"When someone receives the diagnosis of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, there are several targeted therapies available for this subtype of cancer," said Dr. Elizabeth O'Day, founder and CEO of Olaris. "By measuring the complete set of metabolites in an individual we aim to identify which one of those specific treatments will be most effective for each individual patient."
As a first step, Olaris completed an exploratory analysis focused on retrospectively evaluating the pretreatment serum metabolome for association with PFS (progression free survival) in a cohort of 26 trastuzumab-treated metastatic breast cancer patients from a single institution. Using machine learning, Olaris constructed a BoR model that showed significant discriminatory ability (receiver-operating curve (ROC) analysis area under the curve (AUC) of 0.964). The results were presented at the annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
Dr. Allan Lipton, oncologist and professor from Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine and collaborator on the project, said, "These results show promise that the Olaris BoR platform is capable of identifying a biomarker signature that predicts PFS. Upon validation in larger patient populations, this signature could help guide future treatment."
O'Day added, "That's why we are here. Olaris is committed to completing larger multi-center patient studies to validate these signatures, so we can create precision medicine tools that empower patients and physicians to optimize treatment choices."

From Cindy Crawford to Chrissy Teigen, there's no shortage of celebrities who have had cosmetic procedures done and look amazing; but there is a sub-segment of celebrities and non-celebrities who have taken their love for cosmetic procedures to excessive levels, such as Justin Jedlica and Rodrigo Alves, each known as the "Human Ken Doll." Given the increasingly popularity of cosmetic procedures and number of individuals getting multiple treatments, it's important to ask "is there such a thing as too much cosmetic surgery?"
"I think a good classification of too much plastic surgery would be when most of us would look at someone and say 'you know what, they've had too much done in the wrong way.' And we've all seen examples of that and those examples are very prominent in the media. But that's not most of what gets done," says Dr. Richard E. Buckley, cosmetic surgeon and medical director of the nationally accredited AAAHC MilfordMD Cosmetic Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center.
Justin Jedlica doesn't consider his fixation to cosmetic procedures extreme but he has undergone over 780 procedures including at least five nose jobs and spent over $800,000. Rodrigo Alves discovered his growing obsession with plastic surgery 19 years ago when he had his breasts removed. Since then he has spent over $1 million on 72 cosmetic procedures, including 11 nose jobs, that have changed his looks dramatically.
"I have seen examples of people who will chase a problem and sometimes it doesn't even start out as a problem, but they chase it until it becomes a problem. Maybe they start out with breast augmentation and then they decide they want to go bigger and then decide they want to go bigger again and again. And maybe the first bigger was too big and the whole issue wasn't the size of the breast. Perhaps it has to do with other issues, and it would have been better to address those issues since larger breasts didn't solve the problem," states Dr. Buckley.
According to Dr. Buckley, the general public doesn't need to be worried about becoming addicted to cosmetic procedures, but it's important to get cosmetic treatments done for the right reasons. Cosmetic treatments can help you feel more confident and enhance the way you look, but there are some things it can't help improve. For example, it's not good to expect that if you get some filler for nasolabial fold lines, then your life will be great and your husband will love you again, or your girlfriend won't leave you or you'll be able to get a date or any other similar situation. One needs to fix one's life by doing something other than cosmetic procedures such as making changes, approaching life differently, getting some therapy, or changing their job.
"Having said all that, I hear all day, every day long when I make improvements in people's appearance 'Oh my g***, this is so great. I love it.' And they're very happy for the improvement and they walk out of MilfordMD feeling inspired, happy and better emotionally. And that's great. But part of that is setting the right expectations with the patients and understanding their reason for wanting a cosmetic procedure," says Dr. Buckley.
While most people are happy with the results of their cosmetic procedures, there are some procedures that tend to lead to repeat surgeries, such as breast implants where patients go under the knife more than once to achieve their desired results. In some instances, multiple procedures are planned in order to achieve the desired results and this is done at the consultation phase with the patient and doctor. But in other instances, such as the earlier examples above, the patient is returning to alter the results again and again trying to solve a different underlying issue.
Another common cosmetic procedure that can easily lead to multiple surgeries, as seen with both examples of the Human Ken Doll, is rhinoplasty. As Dr. Buckley states, "surgical rhinoplasty is difficult in that you're changing the appearance right in the middle of a person's face. Even if you make it beautifully sculpted, it must really fit the person's face and they have to be happy with that fit. And if they're not, now there's another surgery and possibly another if they continue to be unhappy. But that tiny area doesn't have a lot of extra tissue lying around to use into the future. You can get into some issues and not be able to rebuild it the way you would like. Mr. Alves who has had 11 nose jobs and is currently concerned about his nose collapsing and his doctors not being able to fix his nose permanently."
Most patients love the outcome of their cosmetic procedures and, as a result, schedule other treatments to achieve their full aesthetic goals. "Like building a house, there is a process to helping a patient achieve their aesthetic goals. It's not in a single session that I can do a full correction and turn back their appearance 20 years. Typically, it's over multiple sessions with a series of procedures and the right expectations that I am able to help patients get the natural-looking, dramatic results they desire," says Dr. Buckley.
Getting addicted to cosmetic surgery is not something that most people have to worry about, but there is certainly the risk of getting treatment outcomes that look like one has had "too much" work done. "The cosmetic surgeon a patient chooses makes a huge difference in the outcome of the treatment. If you are interested in cosmetic treatments it's important to choose a cosmetic surgeon with a good hand and who knows about facial anatomy and what occurs during facial aging and who understands the best ways to change the signs of aging through cosmetic procedures," says Dr. Buckley.
To turn back each individual patient's clock, Dr. Buckley evaluates them individually; and, ideally with pictures of them from 15-20 years before to figure out how to help them look like a younger, refreshed version of themselves. It's artwork to help patient's turn back the hands of time in a natural-looking way, where they look like a younger version of themselves and not like someone they never were. "I think the general public doesn't have to be worried about becoming addicted to cosmetic procedures, but they do need to worry about looking like they've had 'too' much done. It's important to be extremely selective when choosing a cosmetic surgeon. At MilfordMD, Dr. Richard E. Buckley and Dr. Marina Buckley always seek to provide amazing, ultra-natural looking results, where the patient looks like themselves, but an improved version."

Designation Recognizes Dr. Anderson's Commitment to Exemplary Care, Extensive UroLift System Experience

PLEASANTON, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that David Anderson, MD, CoxHealth in Springfield, MO, has been designated as a UroLift Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Anderson has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.
Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.
The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.
"We are pleased to recognize Dr. David Anderson as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment," said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. "This achievement has helped many patients experience durable, longterm relief from the burdensome symptoms of BPH while preserving sexual function*1,2."
Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.
Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.
About the UroLift System
The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the 
U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.urolift.com.
About NeoTract | Teleflex Interventional Urology
A wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated, the Interventional Urology Business Unit is dedicated to developing innovative, minimally invasive and clinically effective devices that address unmet needs in the field of urology. Our initial focus is on improving the standard of care for patients with BPH using the UroLift System, a minimally invasive permanent implant system that treats symptoms while preserving normal sexual function*1,2.

For the sixth year in a row, Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) will be participating in national Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Awareness Month. According to the American Heart Association, over 2.5 million Americans are affected by DVT annually, with over 600,000 people hospitalized each year. DVT, with its risk of pulmonary embolism, may be the most preventable cause of death among people hospitalized today in the United States. Despite its prevalence, many Americans are still unaware of the threat DVTs pose to their health.
Raising awareness of this epidemic is important to the work of physicians across CVR. Chronic venous insufficiency, or vein disease, is more likely in patients that have had a DVT, and DVTs are one possible side effect of late stage vein disease. The initial symptoms and risk factors for each condition are also similar. Early detection of DVTs is essential for successful treatment, and the vein disease screenings provided to each CVR patient can help identify DVTs.
Everyday, in its 84 practices across the nation, CVR provides DVT rule-out ultrasounds to patients referred by physicians who suspect a DVT but want to save their patients a costly, long, and stressful trip to the emergency room. CVR can also provide an immediate treatment plan for the DVT, or additional screening for vein disease, if needed.
CVR physicians educate about DVTs as a possible side effect of vein disease year-round. As part of CVR's re-commitment to DVT Awareness Month in 2020, the company will be: 

Distributing printed resources and magnets on DVT Symptoms and Risk Factors and a guide on DVT and Orthopedic Surgery to doctors' offices nationwide

Focusing content on the urgency of DVTs in CVR blogs, commercials, interviews, and print ads

Rolling out a social media awareness campaign centered around the signs, symptoms and risk factors of DVTs and the connection to vein disease

Dr. Khanh Q. Nguyen, the Chief Medical Officer at CVR, is proud to lead CVR's DVT Program. "Since 2014, we've managed over 3,000 DVT patients in the outpatient setting safely," says Dr. Nguyen. "We are committed to providing state of the art venous care and complete DVT management while maintaining close communication with the referring physician."
DVT Awareness Month was established in 2003 and sponsored by the Coalition to Prevent Deep-Vein Thrombosis. March is officially recognized as Deep-Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Awareness Month by United States Senate Resolution 56.

ABOUT DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS 
A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a dangerous blood clot that can form in the leg veins, or in other places in the body. The clot can be dislodged and move to other veins and arties, causing heart attack, stroke or plumonary embolism. Clots form when circulation is hindered by thick blood, genetic or hormonal factors, slow blood flow, inactivity or damaged veins. DVTs are most common in adults over age 60, but can occur at any age. Blood is more likely to clot, and vein valves are more likely to fail, for moms and pregnant women, smokers, long-distance travelers and those taking birth control pills, among other risk factors.
ABOUT VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY 
Venous insufficiency, the cause of significant suffering due to the sequelae of venous hypertension, most commonly arises as achy, tired and heavy legs. It may or may not be associated with varicose veins, spider veins or skin changes including venous ulcerations and indiscriminately affects between 30–40 million Americans. Numerous factors including age, weight, prolonged sitting or standing, genetics or a history of DVT (blood clots) can increase the risk of developing this common and often underdiagnosed disorder. Treatment options have evolved to an array of minimally invasive procedures in an office setting.
ABOUT CENTER FOR VEIN RESTORATION 
Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is the largest physician-led practice treating vein disease in the country. Having performed its first procedure in 2007 under President and CEO Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal, Center for Vein Restoration has since become nationally recognized as the clinical leader in treating chronic venous insufficiency. With 84 centers and growing, CVR has over 500 employees and conducts over 200,000 patient interactions annually. To learn more about CVR and its mission, visit http://www.centerforvein.com or by phone at 1-800-FIX-LEGS.

Raising awareness of this epidemic is important to the work of physicians across CVR. Chronic venous insufficiency, or vein disease, is more likely in patients that have had a DVT, and DVTs are one possible side effect of late stage vein disease.

Revamped annual convention pushes industry forward, with a focus on disruption, advanced innovations and reframing healthcare

WARRENVILLE, ILL. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
The nation's leading experts in on-demand care will convene at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, May 3-6, 2020, for the UCA2020 Urgent Care Convention. Presented by the Urgent Care Association (UCA) and the College of Urgent Care Medicine (CUCM), the event is focused on delivering "something (almost) completely different" for attendees, restructuring the annual conference's content to encourage active discussions on how to innovate on-demand healthcare for the future. Registration deadlines are fast approaching, with tuition rates increasing after March 26 and the Paris Hotel room block closing on April 1, 2020.
"Consumer expectations and preferences are changing every day, and so is the healthcare landscape. We redesigned our annual convention to help providers evolve their practices in ways that will best serve patients in the future," said Laurel Stoimenoff, PT, CHC, CEO of UCA. "Our convention will bring to light important topics facing the industry, such as providing the best care for LGBTQ patients, and exploring ways to push the industry forward with new technologies and partnerships."
According to the most recent UCA Benchmarking Report, the urgent care industry grew by nearly 10% in 2019. UCA strives to support the success of the industry and promote continued growth, so UCA2020 will feature innovative sessions, hands-on workshops and engaging lectures for both clinical and practice management professionals. Brand new pre-conference activities will feature an accreditation workshop to discover how to obtain or maintain UCA Accreditation, as well as a two-day clinic start-up pre-con on how to set up an urgent care operation. To kick off the convention, and directly following the opening general session, the HIPPO Education Team will be bringing their interactive roadshow, designed to challenge how clinicians think about their team practices.
The Now and Next in Urgent Care: 
The UCA2020 Convention will feature an equal focus on what's now and what's next. Sessions with many new out-of-the-box thinkers will cover topics including better onboarding, financial modeling for new services, revenue cycle oversight and regulatory changes. Some sessions will count towards the 62 credit hours required to achieve Certified Urgent Care Management Professional (CUCMP) certification.
"The urgent care industry continues to change at a rapid pace, and this year's sessions will cover forward-thinking content and ground-breaking tools to improve current practices and reframe urgent care for the future," said Richard Park, MD, UCA board president, founder of CityMD. "It is more important than ever to educate our leaders and providers on the latest advancements and pioneering ideas to pave the way for diversified on-demand medicine."
Advancing Innovations in On-Demand Care: 
Advanced Innovations sessions will take attendees into the future of strategy development, provider engagement, emerging technologies, care models and payment mechanisms, leadership, hospitality, marketing, and the next wave of mergers and acquisitions.
During two back-to-back New2Know sessions, attendees will learn more about emerging models in on-demand healthcare, such as telemedicine/house call hybrids, direct-to-specialist e-referral systems and more. With TED-style talks and a Q&A with the New2Know innovators and payer experts, attendees will analyze their organization's ability to adopt or adapt similar models, as well as recognize the payer trends influencing urgent care centers today.
In addition, attendees will have the chance to tap the expertise of Las Vegas' very own Caesar's Palace entertainment team, who will discuss how to translate hospitality-driven philosophies into urgent care patient experience. Also taking place will be a one-of-a-kind industry hackathon, where the top minds in on-demand care will come together to explore complex issues and brainstorm new solutions for 2020 and beyond.
Throughout the event, UCA2020 participants will be exposed to a myriad of advanced strategic approaches for enhancing their practices, including: 

How to provide the best care for LGBTQ patients

The importance of antibiotic stewardship in urgent care

End-to-end patient experience

The nuts and bolts of running a successful urgent care today

Pediatrics-focused sessions on ultrasound, measles, pain reduction and positioning techniques, and breastfeeding

Several keynote speakers will share insights on the latest industry trends, from disrupting the status quo to deploying emerging technologies strategically in the on-demand space. For the closing keynote, Dr. Zeev Neuwirth, award-winning podcast host and author of Reframing Healthcare, will share his vision for retail healthcare today, tomorrow and into the future, featuring Marcus Osborne, vice president of health transformation at Walmart.

The Beverly Hill-based plastic surgeon comments on a recent article that people should be aware that the medical community is hard at work protecting the public and the best way to handle the possible pandemic is to remain calm and practice common-sense measures to stay safe.

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
A February 28 article on CNN Health reports that a Northern California woman hospitalized with the new coronavirus strain, also called COVID-19, is in serious condition. Reports say she is distinguished from the other 61 known cases in the United States because she has not been in China recently, nor has she knowingly been in contact with anyone who has. "While there is cause for concern regarding the possibility of a pandemic, people don't need to be in a state of fear," said Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Payam Jarrah-Nejad, M.D., F.I.C.S., F.A.C.S., known as Dr. J to his patients. "The COVID-19 strain is less lethal than past highly publicized flu strains, such as SARS, and is no cause for panic," says Dr. J. "The reason governments are acting on this worldwide has more to do with how fast it's spreading than how dangerous it is to individuals."
"Everyone should be aware that the primary worry regarding COVID-19 is the sheer number of cases that may occur at the same time and the possible impact on the health system and the economy," says Dr. J. "It's very serious but most people are unlikely to be seriously sickened. As with any flu or respiratory infection, elderly and infirm individuals do need to be especially careful due to the risk of pneumonia and other complications. For those concerned, avoiding large crowds may also be a good idea for the time being," says Dr. J. "The serious cases we are seeing are primarily older people. That was not the case with the extremely deadly 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that's often mentioned in the media. The funny part is that few or no children seem to have been infected up to now."
"People should know that the medical community is working very hard to prevent the transmission of this and other communicable diseases. Responsible members of the professions always engage in extremely rigorous protocols with regards to cleanliness and sanitary practices," Dr. J noted. "As both a certified plastic surgeon and also a certified general surgeon, I can tell you that, regardless of what's happening in the world, when it comes to potentially dangerous microbes, we employ complex multiple layers of precautions that would probably surprise most people. During a time like this, of course, we understand that patients may be more concerned than usual and we do whatever we can to reassure them that safe conditions are always a top priority," Dr. J said.
"As far as what people can do to stay healthy generally, the steps are well-known. Frequent and thorough handwashing – something we surgeons know all about -- is one of the primary ways to prevent contagions from spreading," said Dr. J. "We probably don't need to tell people that avoiding people who are sick is desirable. Also, COVID-19 seems to last fairly long on surfaces, so keeping tables and chairs clean with cleaning solutions may be more important than usual," said the surgeon. "Please stay calm but do stay abreast of media reports from reliable outlets like major news organizations and local television and radio stations. If there is a pandemic, knowing what's happening will be important," says Dr. J.
Interested readers can call (310) 228-3151. Dr. J's qualifications as a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon double board certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery can be seen online.

This industry leading certification program now offers improved and updated training program that includes updated information and voice over narration. The extensive course features 18 modules of information, each focused on a different aspect of facilitating relocation for Seniors.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
The aging US population brings with it a host of new challenges. In larger numbers than ever before, Senior Citizens face the need to modify or change their living arrangements. Most often this involves downsizing to a smaller home, condo, or assisted living facility. For a few, it may involve modifying their existing residence.
Change is difficult for most people. Studies show that our concept of "home" is hardwired in our brains. It's at the core of who we are. Giving up possessions can be very unsettling for Seniors as well as their families. In many cases, family homes are intrinsically tied to our identities.
NCBAC's CRTS Certification Program features an 18 module course which provides comprehensive information needed to successfully organize and manage Senior moves from beginning to setting up the new home.
The voice-over narration has just been added, as well as updated statistics and detailed on-line illustration. The information is easy to follow and is designed to provide Transition Specialists with the plans and techniques necessary to reduce stress and manage moves effectively.
CRTS emphasizes a team approach for project management. It covers topics such as working with families, communication techniques, dealing with physical limitations, downsizing decisions for personal possessions, finding appropriate housing alternatives, moving issues and resettling into a new home.
Transition Specialists come from many other professions including professional organizers, caregivers and housing personnel, real estate agents, estate sales specialists, attorneys, movers and medical personnel.
This program meets national certification standards and is the premier national certification of its type.

When you're doing your spring cleaning, don't forget your pets! 1-800-PetMeds is giving away a bundle of pet grooming supplies to 8 lucky winners to help their dog or cat be their sweet smelling, well-groomed best.

DELRAY BEACH, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
As the snow melts and temperatures rise, you and your pets may be looking forward to fun outings like picnics and walks in the park. Make sure your pets are fresh, clean, and healthy for the spring by learning to groom them at home.
Washing and brushing your pet between grooming appointments is the best way to keep them smelling fresh, to help manage shedding, and to keep long coats free of mats. For dogs who do not regularly visit a groomer, a monthly bath works best for most, while cats should be bathed as needed, depending on their activity level and coat type.
When it comes to nails, sticking to a schedule of trimming every two weeks will help keep your pet's nails from overgrowing and affecting their posture and balance. Trimming nails can be tricky, so ask your vet or groomer for help if you're unsure of how to do it safely.
"Grooming tasks like brushing teeth, clipping nails, and cleaning ears can be less stressful for your pet when done at home by someone they love," says Larissa Schenck, Director of Marketing at 1-800-PetMeds, "But you'll still want to give them lots of treats and reassurance to create a positive experience for them."
Enter the 1-800-PetMeds A Spring Cleaning For Your Pet Sweepstakes for a chance to win a package of pet grooming supplies for your cat or dog. Each bundle will include Oatmeal & Aloe Vera Shampoo, Rescue Pro Series Combo Brush, Nail Trimmers, Super Pure Omega 3 supplement, ear cleanser, and a toothbrush/toothpaste kit.
The 1-800-PetMeds Spring Cleaning For Your Pet Sweepstakes runs from Monday 03/02 through Sunday 03/29. Everyone who enters from 12:01 AM Eastern Time ("ET") March 2, 2020 to March 29, 2020 at 11:59 PM EDT is eligible to win. To enter, visit the Spring Cleaning For Your Pet Sweepstakes page.

Toronto-based clinical research organization (CRO) and regulatory consulting firm, dicentra, has announced that it is soon opening its newest office location just 5 minutes south of Clarksburg on a farm on Beaver Valley Road.
The owners currently operate an organic apple orchard on the property, called End of the Rainbow Orchard, and decided it would be a great new option for employees to relocate to.
"Part of our goal here is to offer as much convenience and work-life balance to our team members as possible," reports Alicja Wojewnik, Founder and CEO of dicentra. "Clarksburg is a beautiful place, a place where our people can relocate from Toronto if they choose and connect with nature."
The company specializes in safety, quality and compliance matters for the agriculture, food and life science industries and also conducts clinical trials.
This will be the company's third location in Ontario. The company headquarters and research site for its clinical trials is located in downtown Toronto. A second office is located in Guelph, Ontario, where many team members are located.
"The opportunity to relocate my young family to the country is very tempting. Growing up in nature, a slow paced more intentional lifestyle, is the kind of childhood I'd like to offer my children," said Elizabeth, Relations Manager at dicentra. "It's great to work for a company who shares those same values."
The company is expected to open up the new office location in the summer of this year. Several members of the Toronto office have already expressed interest in relocating their families.
"We try to offer as much flexibility as we can. Our people can even work from home if they choose. If they prefer an office setting they will now have the option of feeding trout or cutting grass on a vintage tractor during their breaks," laughs Alicja.

PunkinFutz, the company that creates award-winning and innovative sensory play products for children with adaptive needs, formally enters the adult category today with the introduction of Every Wheel Carry accessory bags. The bags will help lifelong and new wheelchair users keep critical items at hand.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
PUNKINFUTZ ENTERS THE ADULT ADAPTIVE NEEDS MARKET 
With Every Wheel Carry Accessory Bags 
Designed for Adults in Wheelchairs
Formally Launches TODAY
With the virtual beat of a drum and the blare of a trumpet, PunkinFutz, the company that creates award winning and innovative sensory play products and accessories for children with adaptive needs, formally enters the adult category today with the introduction of Every Wheel Carry accessory bags. The bags will help lifelong and new wheelchair users keep critical items at hand including wallets, phones and licenses.
Leading up to today's announcement, Every Wheel Carry recently partnered with the NYC Department of Veteran's Services and the James J. Peters Veteran's Hospital Spinal Cord Injury Unit (Bronx, New York) to provide the bags to their clients for testing and review.
"We have been making these products for children for the past four years," says company founder and CEO Lisa Radcliffe, "and realized that more than half of our customers are actually adults in wheelchairs. We specifically chose to make bags for veterans, as our entire team has family in the military. It is our way to recognize their service and to give back." Radcliffe's brother is a Colonel in the Army.
"The bag, itself, is very innovative. It's very convenient," says Julius Brice, Army veteran, vocalist, writer and producer. "Every Wheel Carry came to my VA hospital (James L. Peters), gave bags to veterans and asked for our feedback. I really believe in this project. The fact that the company is giving opportunity to other disabled people, who produce these bags, is just icing on the cake."
All Every Wheel Carry bags are made in the United States by adults in adaptive work environments and Every Wheel Carry employs a fully adaptive workforce.
In 2018, there were 19.2 million men and women veterans in the United States, 90% of whom are men.1 There are nearly 85,000 veterans in wheelchairs today.2
"The opportunity to make a difference in the quality of life for wheelchair users, and especially veterans, is vital," says Radcliffe. "Our goal is to ultimately create a positive environment where adults with disabilities can work and thrive. We want our staff to be empowered by their work experience," says Radcliffe. "The way we employ is central to our mission as a company."
"I think more people should be aware of what our employees are capable of doing," says Melissa Rassmussen, of the Michael J. Raymond Resource Center in Jamestown, NY. "We do our best to employ individuals with all types of disabilities, who help with the production of Every Wheel Carry. "This gives our staff the opportunity to work and to be independent."
"All bags are put through quality control and then packaged for shipping in our Brooklyn headquarters," adds Radcliffe. "After we decide that that the bags are of a quality we would put our name on, we ship them out. Our next step is always to go back to those who use the products to drive our next round of design."
Created for both manual and motorized wheelchairs, as well as scooters and walkers, Every Wheel Carry bags are water resistant; made of highly reflective fabrics created for the U.S. military and first responders; ensure easy access with reinforced pull zippers and Velcro straps; and are durable and washable to make for easy cleaning and use. They feature a grey background and a large hook strip to support your favorite patch. An American flag or choice of military branch patch is available on the website.
The bags retail for $35.95 and can be purchased exclusively at http://www.everywheelcarry.com.
About Every Wheel Carry 
Every Wheel Carry is produced by PunkinFutz, an award-winning brand dedicated to changing the experience of children and adults with a broad range of physical, sensory, developmental and emotional needs. All Every Wheel Carry and PunkinFutz original products are manufactured in the U.S. in supportive and adaptive workplaces using the highest quality materials and responsible sourcing.

Medical and legal experts come together to provide would-be Philadelphia parents insights into navigating modern day fertility treatment.

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) invites those considering fertility treatment to attend The Modern Familyspecial event, featuring reproductive endocrinologist Brianna Schumacher, M.D., on March 5, 2020, in Philadelphia, PA.
Hosted by Vaysman Legal, The Modern Family will feature expert panelists discussing topics including egg freezing, donor egg, donor embryo, IVF, family law, LGTBQ family building, and how to access benefits in the workplace. Admission is $20-25.
For people considering egg donation, SGF is home to the largest donor egg program in the nation and one of only a few centers in the United States that recruits, selects, and prescreens (medically, psychologically, and genetically) its own ready-to-cycle egg donors prior to making them available on their de-identified donor registry. Further, SGF offers an exclusive 100% refund guarantee program for IVF or donor egg treatment—a significant differentiator among other programs.
For people considering embryo donation, SGF's Donor Embryo Program offers a unique, cost effective, and reliable opportunity to experience the joy of pregnancy and gift of having a child. By using a donated embryo(s) from either a known (direct) donor or an unidentified donor—another patient at SGF who had excess embryos following their own IVF treatment—women and couples who might not otherwise have been able, are experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood.
At SGF, embryo donor recipients receive medical history, physical characteristics, and information about their donor's family, including their children and health history. In some cases, pictures of both the male and female donors as children are provided.
Dr. Schumacher will also discuss the many ways SGF is dedicated to helping gay, lesbian, and transgender people and couples realize their dream of parenthood. SGF offers a full range of services, from low tech to highly advanced, and applies the latest in assisted reproductive technology (ART) to help individuals and couples achieve successful outcomes. At SGF, there are fertility options for every type of lifestyle and partnership.
SGF's Dr. Schumacher, earned her medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin. She completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Schumacher then went on to complete a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and a master's in clinical research at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
"Fertility treatment has advanced so rapidly in the last 10 years, providing more options and better success rates for those who have been trying to conceive or those who need assistance to build their family," shares Dr. Schumacher. "I encourage patients who are considering fertility treatment to educate themselves on all of their family building options."
Dr. Schumacher is available for new patient and second opinion consultations at Shady Grove Fertility's offices in Chesterbrook and Center City.
About Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) 
SGF is a leading fertility and IVF center of excellence with more than 85,000 babies born and counting. With 38 locations throughout FL, GA, MD, NY, PA, VA, D.C., and Santiago, Chile, we offer patients individualized care, accept most insurance plans, and make treatment affordable through innovative financial options, including treatment guarantees.

To help business owners and investors protect their assets from a Black Swan Event like the Coronavirus, Rich Dad Advisors Series Author Garrett Sutton shared tips for How to Protect Your Assets recently on BBC World News and Newsmax.

RENO, NEV. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Asset Protection Expert, Corporate Attorney and Bestselling Author of 6 Rich Dad Advisors Seriesbooks Garrett Sutton's tips for How to Protect Your Personal and Business Assets from a Coronavirus Black Swan Event were featured recently on BBC World News: Talking Business with Host Aaron Helsehurst and Newsmax: American Agenda. Sutton emphasized, "The Coronavirus is a big wake-up call for small businesses."
As the author of "Start Your Own Corporation" and "Loopholes in Real Estate," Sutton recommended these action items for business owners, entrepreneurs and investors when asked four questions by the hosts:
1. How can entrepreneurs protect themselves if they are doing business in China? - Sutton explained, "They need to operate as a corporation or an LLC. Every country has limited liability entities that you can use so instead of being sued personally, you limit your liability to the claim to just against the business. So now is the time to set up a corporation or an LLC for conducting your overseas business."
2. Can you get insurance for a Black Swan Event if a planned event is cancelled like the Mobile World Congress (MWC) was in Barcelona? – Sutton explained, "There are event liability insurance policies, but there are a lot of exclusions. The Mobile World Congress, for example, the government didn't cancel it. It was businesses pulling out, so unless the government cancelled it, you wouldn't get the insurance."
3. How can small businesses take steps to protect their assets? – Sutton emphasized; "If you're importing goods from China that you sell on Amazon, and are operating as a sole proprietor without a corporation or LLC, you're putting all of your personal assets (like your home) at risk. So now is the time to set up a corporation or an LLC for conducting your overseas business. You also want to take steps to find alternative suppliers."
4. How can you protect your investments? - Sutton added, "Well I always recommend that personal investors hold their brokerage accounts through an LLC. They're not expensive to set up or maintain."
In addition, Sutton recommends setting up Contingency Plans, along with protecting your most important asset – your employees – by letting them work at home and reducing travel.

Meza Dental provides significant savings for patients seeking a new healthy smile with dental packages starting at $5,900

MIAMI (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Missing teeth is one of the top reasons people are self-conscious about their smiles. Untreated tooth decay and gum disease are the leading causes of tooth loss, which can increase the risk of other health factors. According to recent findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), due to lack of dental insurance and Medicare not covering routine dental checkups, one in four adults in the United States has untreated tooth decay and about two in three (68%) adults aged 65 years or older have gum disease. Dental implants provide a permanent base for replacing teeth and fortunately most patients are great candidates for this procedure.
"As adults age, oral health-related quality of life is negatively affected by tooth loss. Having a healthy smile can improve your quality of life, including how you're viewed in your personal and professional life," said Dr. Alberto Meza, founder and principal of Meza Dental, a premier Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry Center in Costa Rica for dental tourism. "Dental Implants are a great solution for missing or severely damaged teeth. We provide all of our patients with custom smiles that are functional for them and aesthetically fit the patient's face."
Oral and dental procedures are some of the most expensive treatments in the U.S. and many times are out of pocket expenses for patients. Because fixed costs such as rent, taxes and labor costs are lower in Costa Rica than in the U.S. or Canada, Meza Dental can provide significant savings for patients. In fact, patients can save up to 60% off the same procedure in the United States. Meza Dental, recognized as one of the leaders in dental tourism, has created dental packages that start at $5,900, for patients to have an exceptional dental experience while taking advantage of the many things Costa Rica has to offer. Each package is subject to approval based on the doctor's diagnosis and carefully curated depending on the procedure of the patient, so it won't affect the patient's stay and itinerary to explore Costa Rica.
"Meza Dental made my whole dental procedure process easy from the first initial phone call to answering all my questions regarding dental tourism and the type of implants that were needed for my case," said Jae Chong, a patient from Atlanta, Georgia. "Cost was huge a factor for my decision of traveling outside the U.S. for this procedure. I was able to save 45% with Meza Dental compared to the average price in the U.S., and that included my flight, accommodations etc. I was able to save money and explore Costa Rica while my teeth were healing from treatment."
Based in Costa Rica, the premier Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry Center provides patients from around the world with new healthy smiles with high quality dental care, through a personalized dental experience done by professionals with world-class credentials at a reasonable price. Meza Dental dentists have successfully treated thousands of dental patients over the years with 95% coming from the U.S.

About Meza Dental 
Meza Dental is the premier Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry Center for dental tourism. The center specializes in full mouth restorations and cosmetic dentistry for patients from around the world.

PX Private Marketplaces seen as key to long-term customer acquisition growth strategy

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
PX, the leading platform for customer acquisition, today announced an agreement with Alder Holdings, LLC to centralize Alder's customer acquisition activity and online publisher relationships through the PX platform. Alder will utilize PX Private Marketplaces to purchase leads and calls, to create efficiencies, and strategically grow their customer base.
Under the agreement, PX Private Marketplaces will allow Alder to maintain its relationships with all of their online publishers, including email and comparison review partners, and manage those campaigns in one place, the PX platform. Alder will use PX and its tools, addressing their need to proactively price acquisition campaigns so that they consistently meet Alder's cost-per-acquisition targets.
"We're excited that a leading innovative partner like Alder, who has seen the tremendous benefits of our platform, has chosen to double-down on our ability to help them find new customers," said Bas Offers, co-founder and COO at PX. "Establishing Private Marketplaces is an important part of our goal to transform the entire customer acquisition industry with efficiency, transparency and trust. This agreement is another strong validation of that mission."
Today, Alder buys leads through the PX Open Exchange, which brings hundreds of customer acquisition marketers and publishers together in a programmatic marketplace. Alder also maintains relationships with more than a dozen other publisher sources to find new customers. By centralizing their activity through PX, Alder will have a single, consistent lens to measure performance, plus on-demand tools to optimize and build scale, without replacing sources they already know and trust.
"Over the past year, we've been very impressed by the PX technology and how it has enabled us to continually better our performance metrics and reach growth targets," said Mark Stokes, EVP and General Manager of Inside Sales for Alder Home Security. "The platform and their people continually help us to reach new partners and uncover new opportunities to scale."
Integration of the Private Marketplaces will begin immediately. As part of the agreement, the two companies will also build out Alder-Branded Campaigns, a third element of the PX platform that focuses on expanding reach to high-intent consumers. Those are scheduled to launch in Q2 2020.

Major carriers are expanding their offerings to capture market share, resulting in an estimated 32% increase in the number of Medicare Advantage plan choices over the past year. Within these same markets however, 20 or more options are available, further confusing and overwhelming its target customer— senior beneficiaries.(1) Dave Rich, CEO of an online multi-carrier insurance broker, Ensurem, has developed new AI tools to offset the complexity of the health insurance market giving today's increasingly convenience-oriented consumer what they actually want—prompt and clear quotes.
"In our specialty," says Rich, "which is helping seniors and insurers match up to make the right Medicare choices, we sit at the busiest corner of the busiest neighborhood in the entire insurance industry." Ensurem's primary goal is to educate its consumers, match customer to product, simplify application, automate underwriting, and instantly produce finished documents. AI applications are problem-solving for seniors, decreasing patient care error, and vastly improving efficiency plus speed for insurers.
In health insurance, AI applications currently fall into two primary categories, cost efficiency and fraud detection. On the cost efficiency front, both insurers and healthcare providers are developing software platforms to recommend healthy habits and behaviors, such as nutrition strategies and exercise plans. Under fraud detection strategies, the development primarily focuses on AI analysis of databases of previously processed claims to isolate and identify possible fraudulent behaviors on the part of current policyholders. (4) Recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI) to insurers' products and processes, however, have been hailed by industry insiders as showing promise for rapid, significant improvement in critical areas such as risk assessment and customer service. (3)
AI Focuses on the Consumer
While most of these AI applications are still in a fairly early stage of development, the promise they hold is causing the insurance industry to re-examine its attachment to legacy IT systems and outmoded (but still common) procedures such as the manual re-keying of data between systems. (5) As competition for market share increases, Rich notes, the combination of inaccurate data and balky customer service will simply become unsustainable. Speed, clarity, accuracy, and price are areas in the healthcare insurance industry that are in desperate need of improvement. A recent Deloitte study summarized, that insurers gravitate towards developing complicated, difficult-to-understand products based on what they know how to produce, instead of focusing on what today's seniors need—clarity.

Sebela Seeks Partner to Commercialize in the U.S.

BRAINTREE, MASS. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Sebela Pharmaceuticals announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Pizensy (lactitol) for oral solution for the once-daily treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) in adults. Pizensy is a simple monosaccharide sugar alcohol that exerts an osmotic effect, causing the influx of water into the small intestine leading to a laxative effect.
"The approval of Pizensy represents a major step forward in treatment options for CIC. Pizensy will be the only FDA approved product which the patient can self-titrate based on their own results for stool consistency," said Jack A. Di Palma, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Fellowship Program Director of the Division of Gastroenterology at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine and Past-President of the American College of Gastroenterology. "Pizensy will allow practitioners and patients to jointly take control of their condition using a product with the same proven and safe mechanism of action as we have seen in bowel prep products such as SUPREP Bowel Prep Kit."
Unlike current prescription treatments which are solid oral doses, Pizensy is mixed with the patient's fluid of choice, e.g., water, juice, coffee, tea or soda, and taken once a day at whatever time the patient prefers, preferably with food. Pizensy allows patients to adjust the dose of the product. In the clinical trials versus placebo, approximately 25% of patients were able to at least temporarily reduce their dose.
Pizensy is expected to be available in the U.S. in the second half of 2020. Pizensy is a New Chemical Entity and is expected to have patent protection until 2037. Sebela intends to commercialize Pizensy in the U.S. with a marketing partner and has received preliminary expressions of interest from a number of interested parties.
CIC is a complex, functional GI disorder defined by symptoms including fewer than three bowel movements a week and hard-to-pass or incomplete bowel movements, for which there is no identifiable cause.1,2 CIC affects approximately 33 million Americans and an estimated 14 percent of the global population.2 Almost 4.7M brand prescriptions were written for products indicated for CIC in 2019, representing gross sales of $2.36B and growth rates of +6% and +16% versus 2018 respectively.3
The efficacy and safety of Pizensy were evaluated in three Phase 3 clinical trials which included more than 1,400 patients. These included a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, a 12-week, blinded head to head study versus lubiprostone (AMITIZA) and a 12-month, open-label, chronic use study.
Over the first 12-week course of treatment, patients treated with Pizensy achieved a significantly greater efficacy response compared to placebo (26% vs. 13%, p less than 0.001). This response was sustained in the Pizensy group during Weeks 13 to 24. In both pivotal trials, efficacy responders were defined as patients who had at least three complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBMs) in a given week and an increase of at least one CSBM over baseline in the same week for at least nine out of 12 weeks, including at least three of the last four weeks.
Over course of treatment, patients who received Pizensy had statistically significant improvements as compared to placebo in stool frequency (as measured by the number of spontaneous and complete spontaneous bowel movements per week) and stool consistency (as measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale).
The most common adverse event reported in the clinical trials versus placebo was Upper Respiratory Tract Infection at a rate of 9% compared to 6% of patients treated with placebo. Other adverse events reported at a lower frequency include flatulence and diarrhea. The rates of diarrhea and severe diarrhea were similar between the Pizensy and placebo groups. Overall discontinuation rates were low among patients treated with Pizensy at 4% as compared to placebo at 3%.
Indications and Usage 
Pizensy is indicated for chronic idiopathic constipation in adults.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 
Pizensy is contraindicated in patients known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction or galactosemia.
The most common adverse reactions observed when taking Pizensy (greater than 3%)%) are upper respiratory tract infection, flatulence, diarrhea, Increased blood creatinine phosphokinase, abdominal distension and high blood pressure.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of lactitol outside the United States, hypersensitivity reactions, including rash and pruritus.
Pizensy may reduce the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Administer oral medications at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after Pizensy.

About Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) 
CIC affects approximately 14 percent of the global population, disproportionately affecting women and older adults.2 People with CIC have persistent symptoms of difficult and infrequent bowel movements.1 In addition to physical symptoms including abdominal bloating and discomfort, CIC can adversely affect an individual's quality of life, including increasing stress levels and anxiety.1
About Pizensy
Pizensy (lactitol) for oral solution is a once-daily product wherein 20 grams of the product is mixed with 4 to 8 ounces of fluid, e.g., water, juice or soda for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults. If the patient experiences loose stools the dose of Pizensy can be lowered to 10 grams mixed with 4 to 8 ounces of fluid.

Author Liam Wynne releases his debut book, 'Kangaroo Ethics'

PHOENIX (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Author Liam Wynne captures a real-life scenario in his ethical analysis, "Kangaroo Ethics; Psychiatry's Requiem for Patient Autonomy: Bigotry Required," with a thorough review of the faults of a limited understanding of medical ethics that represents Psychiatry's position today. Wynne's case notes will allow readers to experience the story of Doctor Averill and Ms. Clayton, a Psychiatrist and ex-patient, who went through adversities that raised questions regarding whether Psychiatry allows room for people to consider that their spirituality may inform them that they are in the presence of the person to whom they are intended to be within this lifetime. It further defines the differences between what became a prosecutorial, legal set of ethics and the medical ethics the Law overlooked.
"Kangaroo Ethics" is a detailed description of the harrowing path that Dr. Averill and Ms. Clayton navigated during a process that systematically ignored facts, in order to affect an outcome. The tone of the position "Once a patient, always a patient" is addressed using a time-honored pattern of formal medical ethics review.
"The key message of the book is that Psychiatry has adopted a reactionary stance regarding their assumption that it is within their power to dictate that once you are a patient, you may be dismissed as incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial to a determination of whether you are allowed to follow what your spiritual understanding and devotion tells you," said Wynne. "So much so, that it is understandable that a legal system must be enabled to railroad a decision, for the sake of appearing to protect the public."
"Kangaroo Ethics" will relate to individuals who have been in therapy, who intend to seek therapy, to professional students and educators in ethics, as well as people interested in the miscarriage of justice. By the end of this story, readers will discover something they did not already know.

Today the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling (FCCG) and Seminole Gaming advised Floridians to Keep Gambling Fun! Don't Let Problem Gambling Affect Your Shot: Rebound with Florida's Problem Gambling HelpLine, 888-ADMIT-IT during National Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Gearing up for the one-month launch on March 1st, Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) is a nationwide grassroots public awareness and outreach campaign, first established by the National Council on Problem Gambling 18 years ago, that promotes recognition of problem gambling and the availability of prevention, treatment, and recovery resources.

SANFORD, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Today the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling (FCCG) and Seminole Gaming advised Floridians to Keep Gambling Fun! Don't Let Problem Gambling Affect Your Shot: Rebound with Florida's Problem Gambling HelpLine, 888-ADMIT-IT during National Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Gearing up for the one-month launch on March 1st, Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) is a nationwide grassroots public awareness and outreach campaign, first established by the National Council on Problem Gambling 18 years ago, that promotes recognition of problem gambling and the availability of prevention, treatment, and recovery resources. Recent research examining the prevalence rates of various forms of gambling revealed that 79% of Floridians reported engaging in some type of gambling activity in the past year, with 24% acknowledging participation in traditional sports betting, and 18% playing Fantasy Sports . In light of the Supreme Court ruling last year and expansion of sports betting across the country, coupled with a projected $10 billion wagered on the upcoming NCAA basketball championship games (i.e. March Madness), it is imperative to spread the message that help and hope exist for anyone struggling with a gambling problem in the Sunshine State.
"The PGAM campaign is important for Florida, nicely complementing Seminole Gaming's PlayersEdge Program, which aims to provide a safe and entertaining gaming experience by mitigating harm through the promotion of informed choices, positive play, and understanding of risks. While we recognize the vast majority of our guests will not experience gambling related difficulties, because some will, our responsible play messaging, alongside highly trained employees, makes us well-equipped to assist guests as needs arise," explained Paul Pellizzari, Vice President of Global Social Responsibility for Seminole Hard Rock. "Our longstanding and ongoing partnership with the FCCG extending beyond two decades has shaped our responsible gaming program, which remains current, innovative, and focused," added Pellizzari.
"In order for someone who is affected by a gambling problem to seek help, there must first be awareness of the problem and of the solution. This comes through education and awareness of what a gambling disorder is, what it looks like, potential warning signs to look for, as well as by providing access to help, because one can't get help for a gambling problem if they don't know that help exists!" said Jennifer Kruse, FCCG's Executive Director. "Gambling addiction is treatable, and population-specific programs and services for gamblers and their loved ones are accessible any time of the day or night, any day of the year. The FCCG's 24-hour confidential and multilingual HelpLine may be reached by calling 888-ADMIT-IT (888-236-4848), texting (321) 978-0555, emailing fccg@gamblinghelp.org, initiating a live chat at gamblinghelp.org, or by visiting us on social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter," concluded Kruse.
The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 under contract with state government and is one of more than 30 affiliates of the National Council on Problem Gambling NCPG.
Interested in joining the FCCG's Problem Gambling Awareness Month Campaign? Call the 24-hour HelpLine, 888-ADMIT-IT, or visit the organization's PGAM website at reboundyourlife.org.

Gambling addiction is treatable, and population-specific programs and services for gamblers and their loved ones are accessible through Florida's 888-ADMIT-IT HelpLine, any time of the day or night, any day of the year.

The HD2600XD+ Healthcare Grade DVD Player from Videotel Digital proves on point for myriad applications in healthcare facilities.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Already a standout in the Videotel Digital product line, the HD2600XD+ Industrial Grade Looping DVD Player proves invaluable for another one of the company's resellers. The product, due in part to its specific UL approvals for use in hospitals and healthcare facilities, has quickly become a favorite for Pacific Video Products Inc. Both medical grade and healthcare grade, the product automatically powers on, auto-plays, and seamlessly auto loops content without manual interaction. Designed for 24/7 use, it will almost think for its users. It will do things like automatically bypass menus and previews on mainstream DVD movies and autoplay multiple titles. In the event of a power loss and power is resumed, the unit will automatically power back on, and begin to auto seamlessly loop the DVD. Even the volume settings are saved after the power loss. The Annex Q compliant DVD player is an easy choice according to an adept reseller that's been in business for over forty years.
"We are a system integrator servicing the Orange County, Los Angeles, and Riverside, California areas. We have spent years struggling to find products certified for installation into the healthcare environment only to have to deal with the disappointment of high failure rates," said Tina Vink, Manager of Sales & Operations at Pacific Video Products Inc. We are so excited to be able to offer Videotel products. We specify the HD 2600XD+ for our healthcare facilities in a variety of applications including, waiting areas, training rooms, infusion centers, etc. We have been very pleased with the reliability of this product, and the ease of installation. Lisa Schneider and her team at Videotel Digital have provided great customer service and we will continue to expand our use of their solutions."
Lisa Schneider, Videotel Digital's VP of Marketing & Sales, responded, "When we see a company that is one of the largest suppliers of professional video equipment in their region, able to improve healthcare facilities and the patient experience, because of the resale of our products, we're encouraged to continue to flood the marketplace with superior equipment. Our partnership with Pacific Video Products Inc. is a great example of what a company can do with digital signage products and solutions that we have full confidence in."

BELLINGHAM, WASH. (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
ADx Healthcare and Shinyukai Group Collaborate with Ixlayer to launch Polygenic-risk score Alzheimer's test in Japan.
ADx Healthcare, a provider of Alzheimer's disease-related testing announces collaboration with Nakanoshima Clinic, part of Shinyukai group based in Osaka, Japan, and Ixlayer, a San Francisco based precision health testing company. The collaboration includes plans to launch a Polygenic-risk score for early detection and study of Alzheimer's disease in Japan.
"At ADx Healthcare we continually evaluate the latest scientific findings to identify the genetic factors affecting patient's cognitive health and risk for Alzheimer's disease. The Alzheimer's GenoRisk Test evaluates both risk-associated and protective genes that influence Alzheimer's disease risk. We are very excited to collaborate with Shinyukai, Nakanoshima and ixlayer to bring this high quality genetic service to the patients in Japan," said Steve Booth, CEO of ADx Healthcare.    
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, which causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. In the early stage, symptoms may be minimal, but as the disease causes more damage to the brain, symptoms worsen. The rate at which the disease progresses is different for everyone, but on average, people with Alzheimer's live for eight years after symptoms begin. In Japan more 4.6 million people are living with dementia, and this number is expected to rise significantly as the population ages.
The Alzheimer's GenoRisk panel will look at 32 genetic loci. The ADx Healthcare medical team, under the direction of Dr. Ryan Fortna MD, PhD, ADx Healthcare's Chief Scientific Officer, will provide analysis and interpretive services. "A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is life changing for the person with the disease, as well as their family and friends. Our goal is to help people understand their risk. Recent studies have shown the specific lifestyle changes may reduce risk for the disease, and we believe that those at higher risk from a genetic standpoint may be the most motivated to improve their cognitive function by making lifestyle changes." Through the partnership with ixLayer, individuals will have access to clinicians throughout the process as well as educational information tailored to a patient's specific results.
The ixlayer Precision health testing platform was chosen because of the platform's ability to easily walk a patient through the entire testing process while providing clinician access throughout the experience. "We have done extensive patient research here in the US on how to deliver this type of information to patients and are excited to tailor our product to patients located in Japan," said Pouria Sanae CEO of ixLayer. The platform is multilingual and can be customized to deliver result information natively in the region where it is deployed.
The first Clinic to offer GenoRisk Alzheimer's test is Nakanoshima health center. Nakanoshima is one of five clinics/health centers owned by the Shinyukai group, whose headquarters are in Kyoto, Japan. Nakanoshima Clinic's focus is on early detection and prevention of diseases. "Adding Alzheimer's testing to our portfolio is an important step in the early intervention of this ever increasing and prevalent disease," said Takuji Tanabe, CEO of Nakanoshima Health Center. Nakanoshima Clinic also works with corporate partners in providing yearly medical check-ups as a part of the corporate partners' employee benefit plans in Japan.
Interest in Alzheimer's related research and testing has been increasing in recent months. This announcement coincides with the state of NY announcing a five-year initiative to collect and disseminate genomic data on 1 million people with Alzheimer's disease. Worldwide, at least 44 million people are living with dementia, making the disease a global health crisis that must be addressed.

All-in-one pill packing automation software streamlines pharmacies' ability to fill multi-dose prescriptions that integrate into Pillo's home health robot.

BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Pillo Health (https://www.pillohealth.com), a digital health & technology company improving quality of life for patients managing their health at home, today announced the automation of multi-dose prescription fulfillment enabled through the company's patent-pending pharmacy consumable called Pharmacy Auto Load, or PAL.
Last year Pillo Health introduced its proprietary technology platform which powers an in-home health assistant, Pillo. The technology leverages facial recognition and artificial intelligence to help patients maintain safety, independence, and wellness in the home. Pillo proactively facilitates in-home health engagement by managing up to 28 prescription doses, triggering friendly, personalized care plan reminders, dispensing medication properly at the prescribed times, and providing users with fast access to caregivers with a simple voice command and built-in camera.
The new PAL tray provides patients with a convenient pre-filled pharmacy consumable designed for seamless integration with the Pillo device. PAL removes the need for consumers to manually fill Pillo with multiple individual medications and ensures patients are taking the right medication and dosage at the correct time. Once the tray is placed within Pillo, other over-the-counter medications or nutraceuticals may be added to PAL while inside of Pillo using the user-guided filling workflow; Pillo then updates the pharmacy on the added products.
Pillo Health is working with a provider of custom automation and software for multi-dose prescription packaging, which will allow pharmacies across the U.S. to fill the new consumable tray. Currently, the process of hand-packaging multi-dose prescriptions is time consuming, requiring concentration for both filling and checking processes. With PAL, pharmacies will be able to automatically and accurately fill, check, and seal multi-dose prescriptions in less time, and with more accuracy than manual filling operations.
"PAL brings consumers the trusted expertise, convenience, and security of pharmacy fulfillment while providing the participating pharmacy with accurate and efficient automation," said Emanuele Musini, CEO of Pillo Health, "This scalable level of automation will not only streamline the packaging process but will also ensure precision to provide peace of mind and safety for both pharmacists and patients."
For consumers, pre-filled, labeled, and secure pill packaging reduce the risk of a missed dose and prevent non-adherence. Pillo averages six daily engagements from consumers and empowers them to be a full participant in their own care through better use of their medications.
For pharmacies, Pillo generates real-time data on medication adherence, providing value to ease the process of medication therapy management and can be customized to increase customer loyalty and drive new revenue streams. The automation of multi-dose prescription packaging can be optimized for both low-volume and high-volume pharmacies to drive higher efficiencies and allow pharmacy teams to engage in deeper, more meaningful relationships with customers.
Pillo Health will be at the HIMSS20 Annual Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, Florida from March 9-13, 2020. To learn more about Pillo Health, the new PAL consumable, and other opportunities for industry collaboration at the event, please visit https://pillohealth.com/himss or stop by booth #5871.
About Pillo Health 
Pillo Health is a mission-based healthcare solutions provider that empowers organizations to deliver better care into the home with an engaging, HIPAA-compliant, voice-first technology platform dedicated to improving health outcomes. Based in Boston, MA with an engineering team in Genova, Italy, Pillo Health, developer of both Pillo and Pria by BLACK+DECKER, supports connections between health organizations, patients and their care teams in order to improve the longevity and quality of life for those managing their health and independence at home.

VCU Massey Cancer Center and Virginia-Based Health Technology Company, Vibrent Health, Launch Together for Health-Virginia to Improve Cancer Prevention Efforts in the Commonwealth

FAIRFAX, VA. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
VCU Massey Cancer Center and Fairfax, Virginia-based health technology company Vibrent Health are asking citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia to partner in cancer research to identify and address health needs in their own communities. The project, called Together for Health – Virginia, is a comprehensive health assessment program designed to better understand how social and behavioral patterns as well as financial and environmental factors impact cancer rates. Information from this research will help to improve health care practices and services within communities.
"This is an opportunity for residents to partner with their local National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center on a research program aimed at improving health in the communities that need it most," says Bernard Fuemmeler, Ph.D., M.P.H., associate director for cancer prevention and control and Gordon D. Ginder, M.D., Chair in Cancer Research at Massey as well as a professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Policy at the VCU School of Medicine. "The effort really gets to the heart of Massey's mission by conducting research that makes an impact at the local level."
VCU Massey Cancer Center plans to enroll 2,000 or more Virginians ages 18 years and older in the program. Researchers will reach out to residents in Virginia at community events and by disseminating messages via social media platforms. The program can be accessed through a mobile app developed by Vibrent Health, the creators of the consumer-facing technology platform for the National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program—a separate, nationwide research effort to accelerate medical breakthroughs across a range of health conditions. The Together for Health – Virginia app is available at the Apple App Store and Google Play (by searching Together for Health – Virginia) or online at Together for Health – Virginia. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary.
"We are honored to be working with the VCU Massey Cancer Center on this important research to benefit the future of health in Virginia," said Vibrent Health CEO Praduman "PJ" Jain. "Through our other work with the NIH we are well equipped to rapidly ramp up this program to its full scale. Our goal is to help accelerate health research by enabling a trusted partnership between participants and researchers and providing access to data they need quickly."
Participants will be asked to engage with researchers over the course of a year, providing researchers with access to behavioral and social data. By downloading the mobile app, participants can answer questionnaires online and have the option of sharing data from their fitness tracker. Only VCU researchers conducting the study will have access to the data, which will be stored in a secured registry.
"Security and privacy are of the utmost importance to us," said Jain. "We keep participant-provided information secure and confidential by using cyber-safe technologies certified to the most stringent standards defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology."
Data collected through the Together for Health – Virginia research program will be used to guide Massey in targeting community outreach and education efforts addressing health behaviors such as tobacco cessation, obesity/weight management, HPV vaccination, cancer screening and early detection. It will also serve to identify causes of cancer disparities across the state, by examining the impacts of financial barriers, health literacy, access to health care services and medical mistrust. Results will be shared with state and local agencies to guide programs aimed at improving health in the Commonwealth.
"We need the help of community members and citizen collaborators to tell us about their behaviors and how they engage with health information so we can learn and discover better ways to promote health and well-being in their local communities," says Fuemmeler, who is also collaborating with Massey Cancer Prevention and Control research members David Wheeler, Ph.D., M.P.H., associate professor in the VCU Department of Biostatistics, and Sunny Jung Kim, Ph.D., M.S., M.A., assistant professor in the VCU Department of Health Behavior and Policy. "The programs that we implement will only be effective if we have a deep grasp of all the factors that impact cancer risk, so it's important that participants in the program represent all of the diverse populations living in Virginia."
Massey is one of the only safety-net cancer centers in Virginia, meaning that it treats all patients regardless of their health insurance coverage or ability to pay for treatment. As such, Massey plays an important role as a cancer care provider for high-risk and underserved populations, uninsured and Medicaid patients.
Vibrent Health provides digital health technology tools for precision medicine for health organizations, researchers and research participants, and serves as the Participant Technology Systems Center for the NIH All of Us Research Program.
Together for Health – Virginia is funded by a supplement to Massey's National Cancer Institute Cancer Support Grant of more than $225,000.

"We need the help of community members and citizen collaborators to tell us about their behaviors and how they engage with health information so we can learn and discover better ways to promote health and well-being in their local communities," says Dr. Bernard Fuemmeler.

Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc., the nation's second largest pistachio grower and processor based in California's Central Valley, is thrilled to announce that U.S grown roasted pistachios meet the generally accepted definition of a "complete protein."

TERRA BELLA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc., the nation's second largest pistachio grower and processor based in California's Central Valley, is thrilled to announce that U.S grown roasted pistachios meet the generally accepted definition of a "complete protein." This means pistachios now join the ranks of a select few plant proteins such as quinoa, chickpeas, and soybeans, offering a plant-based alternative to animal proteins.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, protein is made up of 20 different amino acids. The FDA explains that 9 out of the 20 amino acids are considered "essential," meaning they cannot be made by the body and must be obtained through food. The FDA defines a complete protein as a food that contains "all of the essential amino acids in adequate amounts." Most complete proteins come from meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Roasted pistachios are now considered a complete protein source for those who are over 5 years of age.
"It feels great to be able to offer consumers a complete protein that will meet a variety of dietary needs," said Setton Farms COO Mia Cohen. "This new analysis gives our customers another great reason to enjoy the nutritional benefits of our pistachios."
A Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) for pistachios, presented at the Federation of European Nutrition Societies (FENS) Conference in Dublin, Ireland on October 17, 2019 reported representation of adequate levels of all nine essential amino acids in roasted pistachios.¹ Boasting a PDCAAS of 81 percent and 80 percent of casein, roasted pistachios meet the USDA definition as an alternate source of protein for school meals.³
Setton Farms Pistachios are sold in stores nationwide, including Kroger, Meijer, Wegmans, Jewel, Lunds & Byerlys, Woodmans, Shoprite, Winco, Bed Bath & Beyond, Albertson/Shaws, At Home, Hudson News, and online at Amazon.com.
Grown in California's Central Valley, Setton Farms' pistachios are vegan, Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Gluten Free, accredited by the American Heart Association and Kosher. All of Setton Farms' pistachios are grown, processed, and packaged using renewable energy and eco-friendly practices.
The Setton family is dedicated to providing healthy and delicious pistachio snack options that consumers of all ages love. In addition to their full line of roasted pistachio items, Setton Farms produces Seasoned Pistachio Kernels, Pistachio Chewy Bites, Dark Chocolate Covered Pistachios, Premium Nut Blends, and other nutritious, pistachio-based snacks.

When approaching facial rejuvenation, Board certified MilfordMD physicians evaluate the entire face, rather than just parts of it. A PanFacial rejuvenation treatment at MilfordMD is a highly personalized technique for turning back the clock.

MILFORD, PA. (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
We all have a unique makeup of genetics, as well as different lifestyles and habits that contribute to the way we age, and when it comes to turning back the clock and cosmetic intervention, it's easy to assume what works for one person will work for you too. "There are so many misconceptions, as well as confusion about facelifts and injectables. Because people hear about injectables from a friend or a read about a celebrity getting it, they think that's what will solve serious aging issues, like jowls with marionette lines or a drooping forehead. But an injectable filler or neuromodulator is only one piece of the puzzle. It's more about the results that you want to achieve and what will give you the most transformative results. This may include surgeries, such as facelifts and browlifts along with lasers to improve the skin tone and texture, plus injectables to restore volume and relaxing muscles to minimize wrinkles. In a MilfordMD Panfacial Rejuvenation approach, we look at the whole picture, instead of just singling out parts," says Dr. Richard E. Buckley who is the medical director of MilfordMD Cosmetic Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center in Milford, Penn.
With a Panfacial Rejuvenation treatment at MilfordMD, patients are receiving the most highly customized comprehensive treatments they can get, giving them the best outcomes and more predictable results. "At MilfordMD we value forming long term relationships and talking about the many options that will give you back the look that your face had 10 or 20 years ago. Surgery may be a first step, but after, it's also looking at your skin and what you need to do, such as CO2 ablative laser treatment and injectables. Because every face and patient are different, it's crucial to take the time to talk and discuss reasonable goals and stage a treatment timeline," says Dr. Buckley.
For patients seeking this truly tailored experience, finding a trained physician who understands the aging process is essential. "There are many practitioners who may have some tools, but not a full understanding of what to do to make the results truly transformative and so impressive that they speak for themselves, much like masterpieces of art. There are so many nuances with every patient that will make each plan different, and if surgery is part of it, it's usually before the non-surgical interventions. For instance, if you have hyperactive muscles in the forehead, we administer a neuromodulator injectable after surgery for better results in placement and a better effect. When we begin to make dramatic improvements on one area of the face or body, we also take into consideration other parts of the body. For example, if your face looks younger, shouldn't the neck, chest and hands look younger too?" says Dr. Buckley.
Customizing your treatment plan also allows you to work on a reasonable timeline that doesn't interfere with your lifestyle. "So many people assume that a facelift surgery has a long downtime and that panfacial means that everything is done at once. But it shouldn't be that way nor is it respectful to the body and its healing needs. We work with our patients so that they can go back to their life with minimal time off and make plans for the next steps, such as what happens with other nonsurgical procedures afterward. A Panfacial Rejuvenation approach at MilfordMD is really a very tailor-made process, and patients are becoming more attracted to this type of intervention because it ensures you're getting everything that's needed to get the best, most youthful results," says Dr. Buckley.

Designation Recognizes Dr. Li's Commitment to Exemplary Care, Extensive UroLift System Experience

PLEASANTON, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Amy Li, MD, TDC Urology in Silverdale, WA, has been designated as a UroLift Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Li has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.
Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.
The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.
"Dr. Amy Li has earned the UroLift Center of Excellence designation for [his/her] dedication to improving the lives of men who previously suffered from BPH symptoms and delivering superior patient outcomes with the UroLift System treatment," said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit.
Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.
Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.
About the UroLift System
The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.urolift.com.
About NeoTract | Teleflex Interventional Urology
A wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated, the Interventional Urology Business Unit is dedicated to developing innovative, minimally invasive and clinically effective devices that address unmet needs in the field of urology. Our initial focus is on improving the standard of care for patients with BPH using the UroLift System, a minimally invasive permanent implant system that treats symptoms while preserving normal sexual function*1,2.

The dualX device expands in both width and height providing a stable foundation for spinal fusion

LAGUNA HILLS, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Amplify Surgical, Inc., today announces that the company reached the milestone of treating 300 spinal levels with the dualX Expanding Interbody Fusion System.
The landmark case was performed by Dr. Ali Najafi at Fresno Heart and Surgical Hospital in Fresno, CA. After the case Dr. Najafi noted, "dualX has completely changed the game for expandable interbodies. The ability to achieve an ALIF sized footprint from a posterior approach while maximizing height expansion is unparalleled on the market.

The dualX technology is comprised of a family of titanium expandable interbody devices designed to expand in both width and height, implanted in lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) spinal procedures. The dualX portfolio contains varying footprints, heights and degrees of lordosis with post-expansion bone grafting to provide a customized anatomical fit for a clinically successful fusion environment.
Dr. Jeffrey Roh, CEO of IntuitiveX commented, "It is exciting to see the clinical benefits of the dualX expanding interbody system. As this system gains more exposure it is proving to be the preferred interbody for surgeons seeking innovative solutions."
Andy Choi, Amplify Surgical CEO stated, "I am so very pleased as we are seeing unprecedented adoption during full commercialization launch. Even since our first cases I have seen such great results and it is exciting to support surgeons with revolutionary technology. We are more than doubling our growth quarter over quarter and we expect continuous improvement as we go further into 2020."

Pest Control Expert and CEO/Founder of EarthKind, Kari Warberg Block, informs consumers on the common household product that's putting your pet's safety at risk.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
According to the ASPCA, rodenticides and insecticides are among the top ten household toxins that poison pets every year. Most recent data from the ASPCA Animal Poison Center (APCC) estimates that of the 213,773 cases received, rodenticides and insecticides made up 12.5% of incidents in 2018. The Pet Poison Helpline also reports that rodenticides "always rank within the top 5 cases" managed by the helpline annually.
March is Pet Poison Prevention month, with special observance starting the week of March 16th, which is dedicated to Poison Awareness Week. Kari Warberg Block, Pest Prevention Expert and CEO/Founder of plant-based pest control company EarthKind, seeks to educate and urge pet owners to think twice before using harmful chemicals in the home that seriously threaten a pet's health and safety.
"What many homeowners may forget when using poisonous pest control methods is that rodenticides and insecticides can be just as toxic, and appetizing, to your four-legged friends as they are to the pest," she states. "A pet's curious nature automatically puts them at risk, and depending on the active ingredient used, poisoning symptoms may not appear for three to five days," notes Warberg Block.
The active ingredient type and concentration determine the severity of poisoning the pet will endure. Long-lasting anticoagulants (LAACs) are the most used active ingredients in rodenticides and prevent an animal's blood from clotting, causing a slow death from internal bleeding. Other active ingredients include Cholecalciferol, which can cause acute kidney failure in pets, and Bromethalin, which can lead to brain swelling, tremors, and seizures in animals. Typical symptoms of poisoning to look out for include lack of coordination, lethargy, vomiting, poor appetite, pale gums and difficulty breathing.
"If you think your pet has been poisoned, call your vet or the Pet Poison Helpline immediately. If possible, locate the box of the pest control product to help them identify the active ingredient ingested."
But Warberg Block warns that it's not only direct contact with pesticides that is risky. "Pets are great pest catchers, so they also run the risk of secondhand poisoning from the pest itself," she explains, "In many cases, rodents are still active for a few days after ingesting poison, leaving pets at risk of poisoning too. If the rodent escapes outside, this threatens wildlife poisoning up the food chain, something that's been happening all too frequently," she states.
With Spring around the corner, Warberg Block notes that there will be no shortage of pests this year. Rather than filling the home with poisons, she recommends natural methods such as sealing cracks in windows, doors, and walls with caulk or weatherstrip, transferring dry food into airtight containers, fixing any leaks, and cleaning up areas where pet food may be present in order to adequately eliminate attractants that lure pests in.
Warberg Block created EarthKind to "preserve the good and prevent the rest," determined to reduce consumer reliance on poisonous pest control products with its plant-based alternatives.
With product options for Rodents, Spiders, Ants and Moths, all EarthKind products are safe for use around pets and children when used as directed. "My intention is to always work in harmony with our planet, using the power of nature to keep pests out of the home, without poisons, in order to protect what's inside. Our four-legged friends deserve to live in a safe environment, let's all make a conscious effort to create one for them!"
If you think your pet has ingested any poison, call the Pet Poison Helpline immediately at 855-764-7661 or go to http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com.

If you are reading this article then there is no doubt that you have thought about or considered a non invasive body or face treatment or medical procedure at some point in your life or maybe just have a general interest in this topic, anyway lets begin, Vanity / looking good isn't anything new but in today's society is seems more in demand whether it be for weight loss by trying out something like fat freezing / Cryolipolysis which are non invasive treatments or just to tone up and tighten skin on a certain area of your body or face with something like HIFU, Radio frequency and other similar procedures, maybe you would like to get rid of cellulite there are many procedures around also full non-invasive face lifts with treatments again like HIFU or Radio Frequency to tighten the skin and make you look younger.
Long before this type of technology was available people would only have the option of going under the knife for plastic surgery which involved more complex procedures and downtime, Bruising and the possibility of scars which is not something anyone would like if they are trying to tweak or improve their looks in a way they are happy with and avoid anything that could jeopardize how they look, not to say that this would happen but each individuals body responds in a different way to procedures and treatments what effects one person may not effect another just like anything in life you cannot be sure but these are the risks people take in life to look good.
Many people have gone under the knife and achieved amazing results but we will only really hear about some celebrities who have had this done as i would imagine most would like to keep this a secret, surgery is also a lot more costly so affordability is then a issue for a lot of people thinking about something like this, if it is affordable for someone then it is certainly a option if they are aware and happy with the risks involved downtime etc, not everyone can just take time off work until they have healed in reality, so this is probably a option for the ones of us who are in a better financial position and can really afford a surgical procedure.
Here is a example of going under the knife for a facelift depending on what they are having done it could cost a minimum of a few thousand pounds for what some people call a mini facelift to well over £10,000 for a more extensive facelift this can also include a necklift and i would not like to think how much celebrities pay for the best top end plastic surgeons, but that really depends on where you would decide to get a medical procedure like this done, in regards to the price if you were looking at somewhere like Harley Street in London which is world renowned then you would expect it to be more costly compared to somewhere less renowned, i guess you would choose accordingly to what is affordable for you.
This type of procedure could take between 2-5 hours and is normally safe, recovery normally takes around 2 weeks, and vigorous activity can resume after 4 weeks but the risks and complications could involve: 

Scarring

Loss of hair around the incision site (uncommon)

Numbness, this should improve

Widening or thickening of a scar

Hematoma

Bruising

Bleeding

Infection

Damage to the facial nerves controlling muscles, if having a facelift
Not to say that non invasive procedures don't carry some risks but there are definitely greater risks involved when going under the knife compared to non-invasive methods like Fat freezing / Cryolipolysis or any of the other treatments that do not involve surgery.
So the price compared to lets say a HIFU non surgical face lift is huge with a HIFU face lift costing around £1500 again depending on where you have choose to have this done but on average, and you can see that non invasive treatments are becoming more and more popular.
Fat Freezing / Cryolipolysis 
Also please note when i say Fat freezing, Cryolipolsis or Cool Sculpting all of these treatments freeze fat but some people say Fat freezing others call it Cryolipolysis which is more of a medical term i guess you could say and Cool Sculpting is a brand name of a company who's machines can also freeze fat, it can be a little confusing sometimes when you first read about these types of treatments and can get you thinking are these all the same or totally different i hope this clarifies it for you.
This type of non invasive treatment is used as a fat loss procedure that can help you get rid of unwanted fat in a chosen area of the body, Fat freezing / Cryolipolysis can also be used on the chin area, i would say that the most popular areas for fat freezing would be the stomach and love handles but in general these are the areas that the majority of people who want to get rid of fat from so its no surprise that they are the most popular when it comes to any type of toning or fat loss procedure regardless of what type of procedure is chosen.
So the Fat freezing / Cryolipolysis treatment if you have not had this treatment and want to know what to expect well i can say i have had this procedure before once some people find it a little discomforting for the first couple of minutes but i thought it was absolutely fine as i mentioned earlier we are all different and i must say i was pleased with the results that i achieved from just one treatment.
So firstly you will have a sit down and have the consultation form to fill with the the person performing the treatment to see if you are suitable for the treatment, if you are a suitable candidate then you can continue to have this Fat freezing treatment and you will be asked what areas are you main concern so they can be focused on during your treatment, i will list the steps below :
1. A area is selected lets say stomach to make it easy
2. A membrane is placed over the area to stop frostbite, the membrane looks something like a baby wipe that's the only way i can describe it.
3. The head from the Fat freezing / Cryolipolysis machine is placed on the chosen area (Stomach)
4. Then is is turned on at which point you will feel a vacuum which raises your stomach up into the head so it can touch the freezing plates either side of the head.
5. This is then left on for about 1 hour on the chosen area
6. Then the Fat freezing head is removed and the area is massaged for a couple of minutes to get the blood flow back in the area, when the head is removed the area does feel numb and of course very cold but this is totally normal and not really uncomfortable but for some it might be for a couple of minutes.
7. You can get back to whatever you had planned in your day as there is no downtime at all, the only thing is to avoid alcohol before and after treatment for a day or two.
After your Fat freezing / Cryolipolysis treatment it can take 3 to 4 months to see the best results as the fat cells are killed during treatment and then they will breakdown and be dispersed naturally though the body in our urine.
The results i have seen are positive and i have read many many great reviews on this, from my personal experience i could noticeably see some great results but if you want to keep you results you will need to eat healthy and exercise is also recommended, so if you over eat and don't exercise do not expect to keep results its the same as anything in excess.
Treatment recommendations vary but 3 treatment on a particular area normally show good results.
Areas that can be treated : 
Stomach, Love Handles, Outer / Inner Thighs, Back, Arms, Lower Bottom, Chest (Male only), Chin
Possible but very rare side effects 
Redness, Bruising, Blistering, Numbness, Frostbite
Cavitation 
Again this is another fat loss treatment, Cavitation this is a Ultrasound treatment which has been known to reap great results in terms of weight loss in comparison to Fat freezing i would go with the Fat freezing i think it has better results for weight loss but they both do work but strangely enough in the opposite direction when i say this i mean where as one freezes a area to achieve weight loss Cavitation heats up the chosen area to achieve fat loss, so they can both help you loose fat but with different types of technology.
With Cavitation if you are curious about the procedure i will break it down for you below this is quite a simple treatment and also takes less time than fat freezing but requires more treatments to achieve results in general, and as before a consultation form will need to be filled out to make sure that you are a suitable candidate for a Cavitation treatment:
1. A area is selected again lets go with stomach again
2. Then plenty of gel is applied to that area
3. The Cavitation head is chosen from the machine which is quite large with four silver circles on it
4. Then for 30 - 40mins the head is moved in a circular motion on the area
The fat cells are broken down during your Cavitation treatment and then naturally leave your body.
Treatment recommendations vary but 6 - 12 treatments are recommended for best results
Areas that can be treated: 

Stomach, Love Handles, Outer / Inner/Outer Thighs, Back, Arms, Lower Bottom

Possible but very rare side effects

Mild bruising, temporary skin sensitivity

Who can and cannot have the treatment Cavitation and Fat freezing: 

Pregnant women, recent pregnancy or breast feeding

Heart condition including pacemaker

Thrombosis or Thrombophlebitis

Anticoagulant medication

History of Cancer

Metal prosthesis or implants (area specific)

Diabetes

Epilepsy

Auto Immune Conditions

Inflammation or infection in the treatment area

Transplant surgery

Skin thinning medication

Excess alcohol

Water retention

Raynauds

Laser Lipo 
This treatment empties out fat cells and then shrinks them down which again is pretty much the same in terms of how the fat cells leave the body, a few heads can be placed over the stomach which have laser diodes in them and they penetrate the skin down to the fat cells and break them down once the fat cell is punctured it is then flushed out through your body naturally via the lymphatic system so again you would urinate it out of your body, i guess saying it goes out of your body through the lymphatic system sounds nicer than saying it is urinated out, this procedure lasts about 20 minutes for each treatment.
It is also stated that laser lipo is not suitable if you would like extensive weight loss and a ideal candidate should not be heavily over weight and also be healthy with good skin elasticity.
For all treatments a consultation form will need to be completed just like before this is for the customers safety
Treatment recommendations vary 6-8 treatments are recommended
Areas that can be treated: 

Abdomen

Waistline

Under the chin

Arms

Thighs

Possible but very rare side effects: 
infection, numbness in the area treated, skin necrosis, dimpling, , scarring, discoloration, lumpiness, sagging of the skin
Final thoughts 
All of the non invasive treatments that have been discussed above have the same goal in mind to get rid of unwanted fat so anyone looking to do so should definitely consider a non invasive treatment because it seems as though they do work from countless reviews i have read to pictures of before and after treatments i have seen which show that some of the results are really significant with proof that positive results can be achieved, and there are also many articles i have come across where celebrities have had non invasive treatments also like HIFU face lifts and body treatments for fat reduction like Fat freezing / Cryolipolysis and many others non invasive treatments that are available and they also have had some really good results from what i have seen, so i think its worth giving it a try.
I still think that fat freezing comes out on top for better results compared to cavitation to be honest i do not find that laser lipo is as popular as the other two but in the end its up to you to make the final decision on which treatment you would choose or if you would try any of these at all or would you opt to go under the knife.
It has been a pleasure writing this article, I will get in to non invasive procedures for the face in part two of this blog at a later stage so please look out for it and thank you for taking the time to read this i hope it has been informative and has answered some of your questions in regards to these types of non invasive treatments.

Bonsa Health, a premier, digitally based, home healthcare pharmacy, and ABA Healthcare (ABAH), one of Florida's premier healthcare providers for families with autistic children, proudly announce the beginning of a new partnership focused on delivering "direct-to home" pharmaceutical counseling services and medication delivery.

TAMPA, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
"In this day and age, healthcare and convenience should go hand-in-hand," said John Asfour, Chief Operations Officer at Bonsa Health. "Every day, we strive to reform the process for patients to make their lives easier; and, in turn, much better in the long run. Working together with ABAH, we now have the resources to get it done."
In short, the "ABA" part of the acronym stands for Applied Behavior Analysis, a therapy endorsed by the U.S. Surgeon General and widely accepted by practitioners in the field, as today's leading approach to improving developmental deficiencies associated with autism.
Noting that ABAH was founded specifically to serve the needs of individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD),Dr.Tim Lloyd,Co-founder and Will Glaser,COO & Co-founder explained that the decision to partner with Bonsa creates the "perfect blend of services" for patients.
"Partnering with Bonsa Health will allow greater freedom for families that typically would not have the benefit of getting to a pharmacist—as a result of behavioral concerns—to now have the pharmacist, in essence, come to them, delivering medications and conducting consultations within the home environment itself."
As Glaser suggests, that added measure of comfort can go a long way toward promoting positive changes and giving children a better chance to improve their quality of life.
ABAH also offers a wide variety of community-based services, including speech, occupational, and physical therapy, along with diagnosis and assessment services. On an outpatient basis, the organization provides counseling and treatment to children, adults, and families who are experiencing mental health or behavioral health problems.
"Our trained and experienced therapists assist individuals and families to develop the skills and resilience to be successful in the face of some of the most difficult challenges imaginable," Glaser reasoned. "Now, with Bonsa Health at our virtual side, we're one step closer to bringing our mission full circle."
"We only want the best for our patients," emphasized Asfour. "This partnership not only makes that goal possible, but probable."

Join this webinar to learn how to introduce efficient resource allocation and parallelization of operational activities to significantly compress operational timelines, improve downstream quality and regulatory compliance, while speeding entry to market.

TORONTO (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Industry experts from Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, ClinScape and Oracle Health Sciences will discuss: 

The need to make smarter decisions on insights derived from clinical trial data

The identification of red flags and the importance of real-time metrics to drive timely interventions

The need for industry benchmarking across trials and its inherent challenges

How metrics provide the foundation for process optimization and play a key role in risk management and quality assessment planning

Moving beyond benchmarking to gamification, efficient resource allocation and predictive analytics or forecasting

You can't manage what you don't measure. Having technology which can automate or assist in the timely monitoring of trials is a huge improvement over the status quo of manual methods such as spreadsheets, which are cumbersome and erroneous, not to mention only provide a dated snapshot of trial performance.
Granular real-time metrics provide operational insights that enable sponsors to take control of their studies by being proactive instead of reactive. Sponsors should focus their resources on bottlenecks and processes ripe for optimization to drive competitive performance and operational excellence. By introducing efficient resource allocation and parallelization of operational activities, sponsors can significantly compress operational timelines, improve downstream quality and regulatory compliance, while speeding entry to market.
Join Barry Milton, Head of Business Operations, Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Ken Light, CEO and Founder, ClinScape and Elvin Thalund, Director, Industry Strategy, Oracle Health Sciences in a live webinar on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 at 1pm EDT.

Radiology portal registers 30,000th active member, records 1 million monthly views.

TUCSON, ARIZ. (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
Radiology portal AuntMinnieEurope.com has launched Board Review, a new online interactive educational section that enables European radiologists to prepare for their board certification exams. At the same time, the site reported that 30,000 unique members were active in the past year, and it also recorded over 1 million page views a month for the first time.
Board Review consists of dozens of questions on important radiology topics that are designed to test an applicant's knowledge of radiology. Questions include relevant medical images, clinical histories, and discussion of findings.
Board Review was developed in cooperation with the European Board of Radiology (EBR) and is designed to help European radiologists prepare for the European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR), an international diploma issued by the EBR that certifies a radiologist to have the knowledge and competence in compliance with accepted standards.
Board Review content is specifically based on questions in the EDiR certifying exam, giving radiology trainees the most realistic test preparation experience.
"Revising for exams is incredibly tough these days for busy, young working doctors, so we wanted to do our bit to help them prepare in a practical way," said Philip Ward, editor in chief of AuntMinnieEurope.com. "We're very proud to link up with the EBR on this new project."
To date, over 4,500 candidates from all over the world have taken the EDiR examination since its inception in 2011, with a pass rate of 66%, according to Prof. Laura Oleaga Zufiría, PhD, scientific director of EDiR. Over 900 candidates will be taking the EDiR examination in 2020 in 10 different cities: Vienna, Paris, Warsaw, Barcelona, Örebro, Ankara, Islamabad, Cairo, Moscow, and New Delhi.
"EDiR is the perfect way for radiologists to consolidate the knowledge gained during their training. Especially for young radiologists, preparing for the EDiR not only means taking a step further in their professional careers but also receiving a boost of self-confidence," Oleaga said. "We are very happy that AuntMinnieEurope.com is participating in this process and to help candidates obtain this certificate of excellence."
AuntMinnieEurope's Board Review can be found at http://boardreview.auntminnieeurope.com.
In addition to Board Review, AuntMinnieEurope.com announced that for the first time, over 30,000 unique radiology professionals have been active on the site in the past year. And finally, February 2020 was the first full month in which page views for AuntMinnieEurope.com exceeded 1 million on a 30-day basis.
"These milestones indicate the progress AuntMinnieEurope.com has made in delivering its unique mix of news and educational content to European radiology professionals," said Craig Overpeck, CEO of Science and Medicine Group.

Villa Healthcare celebrates Kate Catizone, Director of Clinical Applications, on her win for McKnight's Women of Distinction Rising Star. McKnight's Long-Term Care News created the "Women of Distinction" honors to recognize those who inspire others in the skilled nursing world through their powerful impact on residents and colleagues.

SKOKIE, ILL. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Villa Healthcare celebrates Kate Catizone, Director of Clinical Applications, on her win for McKnight's Women of Distinction Rising Star. McKnight's Long-Term Care News created the "Women of Distinction" honors to recognize those who inspire others in the skilled nursing world through their powerful impact on residents and colleagues.
Kate always wanted to work in healthcare and considered being a nurse to fulfill her desire to connect with others and better understand how to help. She's been empathetic her entire life, listening to others, taking care of others, and trying to make sense of problems. Kate says, "All I want to do is to improve the care for each person." After volunteering with seniors, she found a position that seemed to match both her passion for healthcare and new interest in senior care. Kate accepted a position at Villa Healthcare as an Executive Assistant, but over the course of three years excelled to a Director position. Kate shares, "I've never loved a job like this. I've never learned and grown so much." If you were to ask her colleagues and supervisors, they'd echo her growth, but point out her strong growth mindset and the work she has done.
At Villa, Kate leads a team that oversees clinical applications for Villa. This includes implementation of the new Informatics Help Desk System that navigates facilities with user access requests and issues, as well as programs used throughout the organization such as Point Click Care, Wound Rounds and TSI. But her passion lies in the numbers, statistics, and data. To Kate, this information is not abstract - each metric measured relates to a real person receiving care at a Villa center. Improved data means the team is able to provide improved care, and that all leads back to the most important focus, the patient.
Kate investigates patient care through a meta-lens to determine how to improve issues. While sitting in a pharmacy meeting, Kate heard about an emerging issue with patients being prescribed excessive amount of medications. Kate wanted to better understand the issue, so she pulled data from every patient about the number of prescriptions they were getting. Over the course of 2019, she refined the process and shared the information with center-level leadership. Through using this information, over 150 patients on 20-plus medications have been reduced. This milestone, achieved through data means improved care as well as increased awareness for prescribers.
Another area that improved with Kate's focus is weight loss. Across the facilities, weight loss has reduced from 8.5% to 4.6% from March to November 2019, well below the National Average of 5.5%. And the long-stay pressure injuries, which were at 7.9% in March, have dropped to 6.7% in November, which is under the National Average of 7.3%. While Kate is the first to point out that care from nurses, doctors, and nursing assistants positively impact the care, it is obvious that her attention to the numbers and getting the information out starts the improvement process.
Every patient at a Villa center benefits from Kate's attention to the numbers and focus on finding patterns, even if they don't know her name. She knows each patient is more than a number, but that she can contribute to better care in using that information. Kate is kind, empathetic, and the first to highlight the role of team work in any success. She is recognized as a Rising Star because she has a commitment to patient care and improving quality through using data, research and her problem solving skills.
We're Villa, and we make people better. Of course, we're focused on quality care and good outcomes. But we're here to do so much more. Villa's leadership has a vision of rising above the status quo—of never settling, and of shattering the old image of this industry. We've always wanted to be a part of something greater, and we're making that a reality. Our commitment to our people, our environment and clinical programs will allow us to fulfill our mission of making people better. For more information, please visit http://www.villahc.com.

Key New NEPC Review Takeaway: New report is useful, but misses an opportunity to explore the need for a standardized measure of student poverty.

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
A recent Urban Institute report highlights how legislative changes have led to the steady decline of the usefulness, as a measure of student poverty, of participation in the free- and reduced-price lunch (FRPL) program.
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the federal Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act mandates that schools enrolled in CEP have at least 40% of their students eligible for a free or reduced-price lunch in the year before enrolling. CEP schools provide free breakfasts and lunches to all students regardless of any given student's household income or enrollment in safety net programs. Thus FRPL participation is 100% in a school and can no longer be sensibly used as a poverty measure.
Michael Harwell of the University of Minnesota reviewed Measuring Student Poverty: Developing Accurate Counts for School Funding, Accountability, and Research. The report looks at how states now make poverty-related determinations for school funding and accountability purposes. Professor Harwell found the report to be useful in providing an important snapshot of the crazy quilt pattern of enrollment in safety net programs.
The report, however, does not fully address a question that should significantly influence its methods, conclusions, and impact: Is it sufficient to rely on enrollment in safety net programs to define and measure student poverty, or is a change needed in its definition and measurement? The report seems to lean towards the latter, but no definition (new or otherwise) of student poverty is provided, and alternative measures of poverty are presented without critique. The report is also silent on whether a poverty measure should be related to important student outcomes such as achievement.
As such, the report is very useful in describing the current dilemma, but it offers little specific guidance on how to move forward.

Leader in clinical guidance adds new content for neonatal care, genetic medicine, and home health utilization

SEATTLE, WASH. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
MCG Health, part of the Hearst Health network and a leading provider of informed care strategies, announces the release of its 24th edition of evidence-based care guidelines. Many new additions to MCG solutions were driven by the healthcare industry's move to value-based care and include new and updated tools for payers and providers to better leverage available scientific evidence through MCG clinical content.
Since 1988, MCG has been reviewing the latest medical research and distilling this information into evidence-based, clinical guidelines and plans of care. To date, MCG physician and nurse editors have reviewed 161,999 scientific articles, incorporating a cumulative 46,694 unique citations into the MCG care guidelines. With the publication of the 24th edition alone, the unique citation count expanded by an impressive 6,995.
With the costs of neonatal intensive care estimated to be $26.2 billion per year in the United States[1], the placement of neonates in the proper level of care is among the most critical of decisions for clinicians. To support the identification of the appropriate NICU level, MCG has added new features to its Inpatient & Surgical Care volume to help guide decision-making and support required clinical documentation.
With the proliferation of new DNA sequencing technology, genetic testing has become more commonplace in the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions. However, identifying those genetic tests which exhibit clinical utility still proves to be a challenge for many organizations practicing patient-specific care. The 24th edition of Ambulatory Care helps address this issue with five new guidelines and also features new evidence in other high-cost areas such as diagnostic imaging, durable medical equipment, and specialty medications.
With mental health parity a rising concern for providers and payers, MCG Behavioral Health Careguidelines can help support compliance when used as part of a comprehensive clinical strategy. This content volume added several new guidelines to existing material that already provided robust, evidence-based support for opioid management and other substance use disorders.
For post-acute care, the 24th edition has enhanced content for our population health solutions (MCG Chronic Care and MCG Transitions of Care), as well as provided alignment with industry quality measures (MCG Recovery Facility Care) and updated level of care tools.
MCG has also updated its Indicia platform with a new option for reviewer statistics dashboards which can intuitively provide hospital leadership with specific insights on how employees are using MCG care guidelines in the clinical workflow.
MCG President and CEO, Jon Shreve, commented on the 24th edition by saying, "MCG editors are the industry experts in evidence analysis, and once again, they've produced a robust volume of clinical knowledge that will inform care decisions for millions of people. With the 24th edition, healthcare professionals will have MCG as an objective source of truth to support better patient outcomes while addressing on-going industry changes such as parity enforcement or CMS' Patient-Driven Groupings Model."
MCG care guidelines are unique among clinical decision support offerings as they are licensed by nine of the largest U.S. health plans and nearly 2,000 hospitals, making them a trusted, clinical language for both the payer and provider communities. MCG will once again be offering educational workshops at its annual Client Forum to train clinicians and case managers on updates in the new edition. For those clients who cannot attend the conference, MCG will offer special webinars via its online Learning Management System.

International Day of Awareness is March 3

ROCKVILLE, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
As the global health community marks World Hearing Day on March 3, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) are encouraging all Americans to prioritize their hearing health—starting today.
"Unfortunately, a myth persists among adults in this country that hearing loss can be put on a back burner because it isn't as serious as other health conditions," said Theresa Rodgers, MA, CCC-SLP, 2020 ASHA president.
"Nothing is further from the truth," she continued. "Often left untreated in adults, hearing loss is associated with other medical conditions such as dementia, heart disease, and diabetes—and can have a negative impact on one's social life, personal relationships, mental health, and quality of life."
A host of effective intervention and treatment options exist for people across the lifespan with all degrees of hearing loss, according to Barbara Kelley, executive director of HLAA.
"Whether hearing loss is something a person is born with or something they acquire months, years, or decades later, this World Hearing Day, we want to empower and motivate people to take the next step towards good hearing health."
A global observance held annually to raise awareness about how to prevent hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care, World Hearing Day activities are spearheaded by the World Health Organization (WHO). According to WHO, 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss at an annual cost of $750 billion USD. That figure encompasses health (excluding the cost of hearing devices), educational, productivity, and societal costs.
In the United States, approximately 48 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. It is the third most common chronic physical condition that Americans experience.
ASHA and HLAA have collaborated on a series of educational materials for consumers and professionals alike to use and share this World Hearing Day 2020—those materials are available here.
If you have concerns about your hearing, schedule an evaluation with a certified audiologist. A searchable database is available at http://www.asha.org/profind. For more information about hearing loss, and to find support, visit http://www.asha.org and http://www.hearingloss.org.
About the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) 
ASHA is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 211,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel; and students. Audiologists specialize in preventing and assessing hearing and balance disorders as well as providing audiologic treatment, including hearing aids. Speech-language pathologists identify, assess, and treat speech and language problems, including swallowing disorders. http://www.asha.org
About the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) 
The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is the nation's leading organization representing consumers with hearing loss. HLAA opens the world of communication to people with hearing loss through information, education, support, and advocacy. HLAA has chapters across the country, holds the Walk4Hearing in 20 cities, and this year's annual convention, HLAA2020, will be held in New Orleans, June 18–21.

Studies Show that Hearing Loss Can Contribute to Dementia and Isolation

SWAMPSCOTT, MASS. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Firmly committed to creating products that improve the lives of people with mild hearing problems, ZVOX Audio, the pioneering speaker and hearing technology company, is helping spread the word about the World Health Organization's (WHO) "World Hearing Day" on March 3rd. This year WHO will call attention to the many options available for timely and effective interventions that can help people with hearing loss achieve their full life potential. ZVOX is helping get the message out through social media and via its website (http://www.zvox.com). ZVOX recommends everyone get a hearing test from a trained professional, and if your schedule does not allow that, the company is offering a simple and free Hearing Test, available at https://zvox.com/pages/hearingtest.
Approximately 30 percent of adults aged 65 and older show some degree of hearing loss. And notably, the problem of even minor hearing loss goes beyond having quality of life issues like not being able to communicate effectively or difficulty hearing the dialogue on your TV – it can sometimes lead to more serious health problems, even dementia. According to a study published in The Lancet Commissions (Lancet, 2017 Dec 16;390[10113]:2673-2734), the risk of developing dementia increases for older adults with mild hearing and moderate hearing loss. Another new study released in November of 2019 by the National Center for Biotechnology Information reinforces those findings and shows that even a small hearing loss can lead to cognitive problems and dementia.
Treating Hearing Loss Could Help Prevent Cognitive Decline 
Treating hearing loss may be an important step one can take to minimize the possibility of cognitive decline and dementia – possibly more important even than controlling other risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure and social isolation.
Unfortunately, says ZVOX CEO Tom Hannaher, many people with minor hearing loss don't get hearing aids – or even get a hearing test. Says Hannaher: "It's easy to say 'my hearing is ok. I just have trouble once in a while. I don't need expensive hearing aids.' But what these recent studies show is that even minor hearing losses may have the biggest effect on cognitive ability."
If the test shows you have mild to moderate hearing loss, ZVOX recommends testing one of the company's breakthrough VoiceBud hearing aids using a 60-day home trial option. ZVOX is taking an additional $100 off the price of a pair of FDA-registered VB20 hearing aids for one week in honor of World Hearing Day.
It might be the most valuable investment a person can make for their ongoing health.
ZVOX: A new kind of hearing company. 
ZVOX was founded in 2003 by two long-time consumer electronics veterans. ZVOX is credited by CNET with "perfecting the TV sound bar." In 2016 they introduced a TV speaker that uses hearing aid technology to make dialogue easier to understand. Their patented AccuVoice design led them into the world of audiology and hearing aids, where they met Dr. Thomas Powers, former VP of Audiology for Siemens Hearing Aids.

It's easy to say 'my hearing is ok. I just have trouble once in a while. I don't need expensive hearing aids.' But what these recent studies show is that even minor hearing losses may have the biggest effect on cognitive ability.

Utah-based Physician Group Achieves More Than $49 million in Savings in Last Four Years

PROVO, UTAH (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Revere Health, the largest independent multispecialty physician group in Utah, reduced health care spending for Medicare patients by $19.5 million as part of its participation in the Next Generation Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Model, making it one of the top performing accountable care organizations in the country. This is according to data recently released from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the 2018 performance year.
2018 marks the fourth consecutive performance year that Revere Health has achieved savings—a total savings of more than $49 million since 2015. In 2018, Revere Health was one of only 50 ACOs participating in the Next Generation ACO Model, which is reserved for ACOs that have demonstrated an ability to continually provide high-quality, low-cost care.
"We are proud of the fact that Revere Health is the leading Next Generation ACO in savings per patient," said Revere Health CEO Scott Barlow. "While the process of implementing a value-based care model has not been easy, the progress we have made is evidence that high-quality, cost-effective care is possible." He also noted that Revere Health has reduced costs for Medicare patients by an average of 8 percent every year during the past four.
Other highlights from the CMS 2018 Next Generation ACO performance report: 

Revere Health serves 14,474 Medicare patients through its Next Generation ACO.

Revere Health achieved the highest savings rate per patient of all 50 Next Generation ACO at 11.5 percent (approximately $1,300 per patient).

Revere Health had the lowest unplanned hospital admission rates of all Next Generation ACOs in every category, which includes patients with diabetes, patients with heart failure and patients with multiple chronic conditions.

These results demonstrate Revere Health's commitment to value-based care and success in transforming the way patients receive health care in Utah.
"Not many ACOs in the U.S. have been able to achieve cost savings for four consecutive years, and Revere Health is part of that elite group," said Revere Health President and cardiologist Scott Bingham, MD. "Our clinic is leading the industry at a time when everyone knows that increases in health care costs are not sustainable, but few health care systems have been able to find viable solutions to keep costs down while maintaining high quality and patient satisfaction scores."
ACOs are groups of hospitals, physicians and other health care providers that join together to better coordinate care for their patients. The Next Generation ACO Model is different from other ACO models in that it requires health care providers to take on financial risk if they are unable to reduce the total cost of care for their patients while also improving quality and patient satisfaction.
Revere Health also participates in similar programs with many commercial payers and implements the same quality and cost-savings efforts for all its patients.
About Revere Health 
Revere Health is the largest independent multispecialty physician group in Utah and employs nearly 400 physicians and advanced care practitioners. Founded in 1969, Revere Health has grown to include more than 100 clinics in both urban and rural areas throughout Utah and Nevada. Revere Health providers offer complete health care at every stage of life with multiple family practice locations and 29 medical specialties. As the first Accountable Care Organization accredited by Medicare in Utah, Revere Health is a leader in value-based care and offers a unique, patient-oriented approach to health care.

Laser vaginal and vulvar rejuvenation is an effective, non-invasive solution to help with vaginal dryness, lichen sclerosus, and painful intercourse.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Laser therapy is a safe and effective option for women to help treat the troublesome vaginal and urinary conditions of menopause, increasing sexual function, and improving the quality of life. Women's Excellence is now offering special rates for both vaginal and vulvar laser therapy throughout the month of March.
Laser vaginal rejuvenation helps treat women with feminine health conditions such as painful intercourse, vaginal dryness and burning, vaginal atrophy, urinary urgency, recurrent vaginal infections, and vaginal pH imblanaces. Now through April 1st, patients can receive special pricing on laser vaginal therapy at $500 per procedure for a total savings of $245. Patients can also receive special pricing on a 3-procedure package at $1400 for a total savings of $635. 
Three sessions of laser vaginal therapy are generally recommended for best results.
Vulvar laser therapy helps treat women with vaginal atrophy, vaginal skin changes from menopause, vulvar itching, and conditions like lichen sclerosus. Lichen sclerosus affects external genitalia by causing irritating white patches of skin. This condition can cause pain, intense itching, and burning. Now through April 1st, patients can receive special pricing on laser vulvar therapy at $250 per session.
"I had two treatments of laser therapy to treat dryness due to menopause. I felt less itchiness due to less dryness after the first treatment. The second treatment was the icing on the cake and I felt more lubricated during intimacy with my husband." (Women's Excellence patient)
The laser is a precise CO2 laser that releases energy along the vaginal walls to stimulate the regrowth of skin cells, blood vessels, and lubrication glands. It also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The new blood vessels bring more oxygen and nutrients to the skin to restore moisture and elasticity and normalize vaginal pH. This results in vaginal rejuvenation. Three sessions are generally recommended for best results.
"Until recently, the only options for correcting any of these feminine problems has been vaginal estrogen or vaginal surgery. Now, we can offer women a non-surgical, in-office treatment for vaginal and vulvar rejuvenation. This method is less painful and requires very limited downtime," says Dr. Jonathan Zaidan, MD, FACOG, President of Women's Excellence.

Women's Excellence is a proud partner of Detroit's WJR 760AM radio Dr. Jonathan Zaidan of Women's Excellence each month. The podcast is located at https://www.womensexcellence.com/about/podcast/.

This year, the Healthpointe organization both took part in and sponsored the Brea 8K, one of the local community's biggest events of the year.

BREA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
On February 23, 2020, the Healthpointe team participated in the 29th annual Brea 8k, a hometown-style event to raise funds for the students of Brea Olinda High School. This occasion is focused on health, community, and most importantly, fun! In addition to sponsoring the event, Healthpointe gathered a team of some of the most dedicated employees and family to walk and run the (approximately) five mile course in the neighborhoods surrounding the Brea Mall.
Following the race, the team contributed to the Finest Finish Line closing ceremony, in which vendors set up food trucks, games, giveaways, and more. Healthpointe had a booth set up as well, and the team spent our post-race time engaging with the community. One of Healthpointe's esteemed chiropractors, Dr. Castro, used this opportunity to show off some specialized physical therapy massagers, and participants were encouraged to try it out under the guidance of a medical professional.
The Brea 8k is a child and pet-friendly affair, so of course, this organization jumped at the opportunity to bring out family members and dogs. Runners were asked about Healthpointe's matching blue shirts several times, and the dogs garnered a lot of attention. Other participants wore costumes and face paint, and some even went so far as to dress their dogs up as well.
Starting from the Brea Mall, the course of the race went straight down Birch Street, curving around Country Hills Elementary School and Country Hills Park. One of the last turns started near the Country Hills Estates Neighborhood and Pool, and the final stretch went up Birch Street back to the mall. Runners were greeted by sunny skies, spectators, and an all-around friendly atmosphere.
While many people walked the event, Healthpointe's very own Lydia Gil completed the race in under 51 minutes, finishing 1,023 in over 2,460 participants. Additionally, she finished 377th out of over 1,335 women, and 32nd in her age range. Gil maintained close to a ten minute mile, and the team was very pleased with her energy and effort in this race.
The race is organized and worked by unpaid parent and community volunteers. The money raised for this event will go to several programs at Brea Olinda High School, including the Global IT Academy, Instrumental Music and Color Guard Boosters, and the Vocal Music Boosters. For almost 30 years, the funds raised in this single event have gone straight to uplift Brea's only high school.
Healthpointe is thrilled to have participated in this community event for the first time, and looks forward to using 2020 to be even more involved in surrounding neighborhoods. To learn more about Healthpointe, visit the website! There's information about Healthpointe's services, locations, and health-related blogs, all in one place!
Thank you for your time and attention— stay healthy with Healthpointe!

The Memor 20 HC offers a novel secondary notification display on the top of the device. This display allows users to see a preview of incoming notifications while the device is pocketed, improving the user's productivity in today's multitasking, hands-free healthcare environments. An exclusive accessory for the Memor 20 HS is the Smart Dock. This docking station has a unique locking function that secures the device preventing unauthorized use, loss or theft. The SmartDock incorporates Qi wireless charging. This feature eliminates physical contacts, the # 1 failure point of any mobile device, and improves cleanability.

Graduates of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's School of Pharmacy (SOP) class of 2019 have exceeded both state and national averages, boasting a first-attempt board pass rate of 95.83 percent on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Exam (NAPLEX). These results place SIUE in the Top 20 of the 135 pharmacy programs in the country, and first among all programs in Illinois and Missouri.

EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Graduates of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's School of Pharmacy (SOP) class of 2019 have exceeded both state and national averages, boasting a first-attempt board pass rate of 95.83 percent on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Exam (NAPLEX). These results place SIUE in the Top 20 of the 135 pharmacy programs in the country, and first among all programs in Illinois and Missouri.
The NAPLEX is a requisite component of the licensing process for pharmacists in the United States. Along with the NAPLEX, the class also achieved a 90.57 percent first-attempt pass rate on the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE), which serves as a state-specific pharmacy law examination and the second requirement of licensure after graduation.
The graduates' combined scores were the highest board pass rates of any program in Illinois or Missouri, and exceeded both the 2019 NAPLEX state and national averages of 84.52 percent and 87.95 percent, respectively, and the 2019 MPJE state and national averages of 75.31 percent and 83.58 percent, respectively.
"The class year may have changed, but our graduates continue to excel," said SOP Dean Mark Luer, PharmD. "While not the largest program in the region, we are highly robust with our efforts to prepare graduates ready for the workforce and profession. Our faculty and staff understand that without student success, our mission would be unrealized."
Considering all 11 graduating classes from SIUE (2009-2019), the SIUE graduates rank No. 1 among the eight pharmacy programs in Illinois and Missouri with a 95.85 percent first-attempt pass rate on the NAPLEX.
"These pass rates are a strong testament to the educational experience offered by our faculty and staff," Luer said. "This sustained success is the result of incredibly bright students who have worked diligently to earn their Doctor of Pharmacy degrees. These graduates are quite deserving of the title, registered pharmacist."
Today's pharmacists improve patients' lives through the medication and education they provide. Dedicated to developing a community of caring pharmacists, the SIUE School of Pharmacy curriculum is a model that offers students a unique combination of classroom education, research, community service and patient care. The School of Pharmacy's areas of excellence include a drug design and discovery core; pediatric practice; chronic pain research and practice; and diabetes research and practice. As the only downstate Illinois pharmacy doctorate program, the SIUE School of Pharmacy is providing highly trained pharmacists prepared for the rapidly changing healthcare environment.

Shango Is the City's First Licensed Retail Cannabis Facility

MORENO VALLEY, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
The dreams of two Southern Californians will come true when the new Shango Moreno Valley recreational cannabis dispensary opens on March 5, 2020.
Shango founder and CEO Brandon Rexroad, and former NFL All-Pro offensive lineman Kyle Turley are the ownership group that is bringing the Shango brand to California.
Rexroad, a longtime resident of Orange County, is a close friend of Turley who grew up in Moreno Valley.
"Opening a dispensary in Southern California has been a personal goal of mine since I started in the cannabis industry nearly 24 years ago," Rexroad said. "We're excited to be the first licensed dispensary in Moreno Valley and we're planning on making a positive impact on this community.
"Shango Moreno Valley has an exceptional location," Rexroad said. "Shango will offer the best cannabis shopping experience in the Inland Empire. Our customers are going to be amazed."
The official Grand Opening celebration for the public will take place on March 13, 2020 at 10 a.m. with a Moreno Valley Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony, featuring local government and business leaders and media. Representatives of Shango's ownership group and management will be available for Interviews before and during the event.
The first 50 people in line for the Grand Opening will receive complimentary Shango merchandise and deep discounts on cannabis products and accessories. Other special offers and raffles will be available to all customers throughout the Grand Opening weekend.
The dispensary is located at 11875 Pigeon Pass, Unit C1 in Moreno Valley, in the Stater Bros shopping center at the corner of Pigeon Pass and Ironwood, near California Highway 60. Hours of operation are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
Shango holds a total of 29 cannabis licenses in state markets across the country, including 10 for dispensaries in Oregon, Nevada, Michigan, California and Missouri. Moreno Valley is the first of several planned Shango dispensaries in California. The company will also be opening its first distribution facility in California in summer of 2020.
For Turley, being part of a business in his hometown, where he was a multi-sport athlete at Moreno Valley High School, is a highlight in his post-NFL career.
"I'm so proud to be bringing a game-changing business to my hometown," Turley said. "It's pretty exciting and it kind of feels like I was destined for this."
As a high school and college athlete, Turley never used cannabis until he sustained painful injuries and numerous concussions while playing in the NFL.
"I had friends who lost their college scholarships because they tested positive for marijuana, but I never needed it," Turley recalls. "It's ironic that now I'm a huge cannabis advocate and living proof that it can change your life and even save your life. This plant is shifting the conversation from being on drugs to getting off drugs. This is supposed to happen."
Rexroad and Turley are the ownership group operating as SMV GROUP INC. The Moreno Valley facility contains 5,000 square feet of retail space.
The Shango Moreno Valley phone number is (866) 4SH-ANGO, (474-2646). The email address is socal.info@goshango.com.

The dentists of Clearwater Dental Associates now provide family dentistry in Dunedin, FL, including fighting cavities and other dental concerns with regular check-ups and advanced treatments.

DUNEDIN, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
The dentists of Clearwater Dental Associates have announced that their newly opened Dunedin, FL location offers full-service family dentistry options for people of all ages. As dental providers in Pinellas County for over 30 years, Clearwater Dental Associates has a long history of helping patients overcome common and unique issues including cavities, tooth pain, tooth decay and emergency dental problems.
In recent years, many households have moved toward choosing a family dentist rather than separate dental providers for the children and adults. Being able to rely on a single dentist or cohesive dental team allows families to stack dentist appointment scheduling, making getting to and from visits more efficient. Plus, having all dental health records in one office location can streamline diagnosis and treatment.
Family dentistry encompasses a wide range of services including routine dental cleanings, filling cavities, digital x-rays and tooth extractions. The team of dentists at Clearwater Dental Associates also offers placement of single and full mouth dental implants at the Clearwater practice, as well as Invisalign, crowns, bridges and laser gum disease treatment.
"We also have the support of an oral surgeon and an endodontist," says Dr. Keith Kiskaddon about his colleagues and the breadth of their combined practice, "When we have a very difficult case that comes through, it's not uncommon that two or three of us, behind the scenes, will sit down and talk about a case to give the best overall treatment plan. This allows patients to feel like this is their dental home, so they don't have to go out to other practices for specialty treatment."

The periodontists of Shoreline Periodontics recently hosted the first Synergy Study Club course of 2020, "Contemporary Tools for Contemporary Implant Dentistry," educating dental professionals on how restorative dentistry treatments such as dental implants can impact the esthetics of a smile. These highly experienced periodontists offer leading dental implant care in New London, CT and Westerly, RI.

NEW LONDON, CT (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Respected periodontists, Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski, hosted the first module of the 2020 Synergy Study Club, "Contemporary Tools for Contemporary Implant Dentistry." The course covered the ways dental implants create a harmonious relationship between restoring function and renewing facial esthetics. Drs. Toback and Urbanski provide accurate and effective care, including restorative dentistry with modern dental implant placement, in New London, CT and Westerly, RI.
The Synergy Study Club is designed to benefit dentists and dental specialists by giving them advanced education from leading dental experts. The doctors from Shoreline Periodontics host renowned lecturers at all of their study club events. The 2020 Synergy Study Club includes two full-day courses and four evening sessions for a total of 24 continuing education credits earned.
This first course, "Contemporary Tools for Contemporary Implant Dentistry," featured Dr. Mariano Polack as the keynote speaker. Attendees gained advanced understanding of how restorative dental implants, including the implant connections, the crown, and the gums surrounding the implant, have shown potential to enhance final esthetic outcomes. The course covered diagnosis and treatment planning in the esthetic zone, immediate implant placement, and advanced technology available for providing the most cutting-edge dental implant care.
Dental implants are an important part of many dental practices as they help dental professionals like Drs. Toback and Urbanski replace missing teeth. Dental implants mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth that may have been lost due to damage, decay, or the effects of long-term gum disease. As periodontists, Drs. Toback and Urbanski have an in-depth understanding of restorative dentistry, including the proper placement and preservation of dental implants. Keeping dental implants healthy is important so patients can continue to live life with complete oral function and an esthetically pleasing smile.
Shoreline Periodontics is a modern dental practice with two locations, one in New London, CT and another in Westerly, RI. The practice specializes in periodontal care, including treatment for gum disease, peri-implantitis, and the digitally guided placement of dental implants. The practice also uses the most state-of-the-art technology and minimally invasive treatments whenever possible, offering patients the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique for minimally invasive gum recession and LANAP laser dentistry for gum disease.
