Prevalence study examining peanut allergy characteristics in adults was scheduled to be presented at the 2020 AAAAI Annual Meeting.

MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
A nationally-representative survey has determined that the prevalence of self-reported peanut allergy in adults in the United States is 2.9%, and that 14.3% of those adults with physician-diagnosed peanut allergy reported symptoms beginning in adulthood. This news comes from a study that was originally scheduled for presentation at the 2020 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). The 2020 AAAAI Annual Meeting was cancelled due to the situation with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
"While peanut allergy is a well-known cause of anaphylaxis and is well-studied, particularly in a pediatric population, less is known about how prevalent peanut allergy is in adults," said Ruchi S. Gupta, MD, MPH, one of the authors of the study. "We wanted to examine not only the prevalence but the characteristics of peanut allergy in adult populations compared to pediatrics to see what similarities and differences occur."
The cross-sectional food allergy survey was conducted over the phone and web from 2015 to 2016. The nationally-representative complex-survey weighted data came from a total of 40,443 adults. Self-reported food allergies were only coded as "convincing" if the symptoms were consistent with an IgE-mediated reaction history to the reported food.
Based on the survey, the prevalence of current self-reported peanut allergy was 2.9% in adults in the United States. Of those, 1.8% were determined to have convincing peanut allergy and 1.3% had convincing peanut allergy that had been diagnosed by a physician.
While emergency department visits in the past year were similar for those with childhood-onset peanut allergy compared to those with adult-onset peanut allergy, those with adult-onset peanut allergy were significantly less likely to have an epinephrine prescription compared to their counterparts (43.8% and 55.8% respectively). Additionally, 48.1% of adults with childhood-onset peanut allergy reported ever using an epinephrine auto-injector compared to 35.1% of those with adult-onset peanut allergy.
Only 58.9% of respondents with adult-onset peanut allergy reported being diagnosed by a physician compared to 75.4% of respondents with childhood-onset peanut allergy. This demonstrates a critical gap in care that needs to be addressed for adults suffering from peanut allergy symptoms.
"The next step is to determine whether there are important phenotypic differences in peanut allergy between childhood-onset and adult-onset cases," said epidemiologist and study co-author Christopher Warren, PhD. "If key differences are discovered, it could improve our understanding of factors that may precipitate adult peanut allergy which in turn can advance food allergy prevention efforts and improve disease management for patients. In the meantime, we hope this prevalence study helps to inform the public about the increasing ubiquity of adult-onset peanut allergy and the importance of consulting an allergist/immunologist to definitively diagnose any suspected food allergies."

New Enhanced Website Provides Improved Patient Education

NEW ORLEANS (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
GNO Snoring and Sinus – the New Orleans and Chalmette area experts in office-based treatments for sleep apnea, sinusitis and snoring – has launched a new robust website for its patients. The new layout offers increased educational material for patients in an easy-to-navigate format, allowing patients to thoroughly research their sleep apnea, snoring, and sinus disorders.
"Our new website design is geared towards our patients and potential patients," said Dr. Akash Anand of GNO Snoring and Sinus. "This grants them the opportunity to fully educate themselves on not only their medical conditions, but also on possible treatment options. As a result, a well-informed patient upon arrival allows both the provider and the patient to engage in a more constructive conversation about treatment. The hallmark of any doctor-patient interaction is education; patients educate us on their symptoms, and we educate them on treatment options. We strongly believe that this process begins well before that first visit, and our new website format strives to provide as much useful information as possible to our patients and potential patients."
From educational videos discussing various sleep and sinus issues, to case studies documenting patient outcomes – patients will find a host of information aimed at improving their understanding of sleep and sinus disorders. As always, discussion with a physician is necessary to derive a proper treatment plan; the website is informative in nature and not designated as medical advice.
GNO Snoring and Sinus has convenient office locations in New Orleans – 4224 Houma Blvd., Suite 205, Metairie, LA 70006 – and Chalmette – 8050 W. Judge Perez Dr., Suite 2400, Chalmette, LA 70043.

HR Maximizer Inc announces the postponement of April Dallas Healthcare HR Conference to September 2020 and shares feedback from conference presenters and sponsors

DALLAS (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
HR Maximizer Inc announced today that the Dallas HR Maximizer Healthcare HR Conference, to be held in downtown Dallas, has been postponed to September 17th and 18th, 2020. "We decided this past week to temporarily adjust from a 60% remote work model to a 100% remote model based on the recommendations of CDC regarding the COVID-19 virus. Postponing our April conference in Dallas was the next important step in order to keep all attendees and our employees safe and prevent the spread of this pandemic," says Rollis Fontenot III, President of HR Maximizer Inc and conference presenter.
"In response to the concerns surrounding the Coronavirus, HR Maximizer has decided to reschedule the HR conference to the Fall," says Rebecca Stirzaker, PHR, SHRM-CP, CHRO of Valley Baptist Health System and HR Maximizer Healthcare HR Conference panelist.
Cathy Henesey, SPHR, CHHR, SHRM-SCP, Executive Director, Talent Acquisition | HR Shared Services for AdventHealth and conference moderator and group discussion leader adds, "in an effort to keep our HR professionals safe so they may continue to serve their employees, HR Maximizer has decided to reschedule the HR conference until September. We look forward to offering great content and development once this crisis has passed."
The conference was originally scheduled for April 2nd and 3rd. "We are sad that the conference is being postponed, but agree it's for the best. We look forward to a great meeting in September!" says Heather Eustermann, VP of Business Development (US and EMEA) for PageUp and conference sponsor.
Sean Hatcher, Business Development Partner of CriminalRecordCheck.com and conference sponsor adds, "We (CRC) believe that postponing the conference is the best course of option to protect the public and limit the effect of the virus. We're looking forward to attending the conference on the new date and connecting with HR leaders to share hiring strategies."
Leah Ramsey, VP of HR Maximizer and conference moderator says that "with all the reports coming in from the CDC, and with the amount of companies that are restricting travel for their employees as well as restrictions against large public gatherings, we thought it would be in the best interest of everyone involved to postpone."
HR Maximizer Inc is a subsidiary of Ascend HR Corp. HR Maximizer is the only company offering recruitment-related services for registered nurses, clinicians and providers exclusively on a subscription basis. Their unique system for creating recruitment content designed for clinicians and providers allows organizations to attain 3-5 times more hires than what would normally be gained by working with traditional contingency or retained search offerings.

A-Z Dental Care comments on a recent article on fluorosis that begins in childhood, noting that the condition is highly unlikely so long as parents follow guidelines outlined by dentists and health organizations.

WEST COVINA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
A February 18 article on UPI reports on a study that found that excessive exposure to fluoride can damage tooth enamel in some cases; especially if over-exposure occurs in childhood. The article points out that normal exposure to fluoride, such as the amount that one might get from brushing their teeth, is known to be beneficial as it mineralizes food particles and other contaminants making them easier to remove. However, if an individual were to consume truly excessive amounts of fluoride over time, the build-up of the chemical can disrupt tooth enamel's ability to store calcium, making the person's teeth vulnerable to decay and other problems. West Covina based dental center A-Z Dental Care says that adult patients and parents with children do not need to be alarmed by the study, noting that they simply should follow the recommendations of health organizations and dentists and know that very bad cases of fluorosis are very rare. The solution is simple, says the dental office. Parents need to make sure that children especially are not using too much toothpaste for their smaller size and, logically enough, do not swallow toothpaste or dental rinses. (Obviously, the same goes for grownups.)
A-Z Dental Care says that the trick to proper fluoride intake is the same as with any other substance the body takes in: common sense. The dental center explains that ingesting too much of anything can be harmful. It is even possible to drink too much water. "Too much of a good thing" really can be bad. Of course, too much fluoride from water can be problematic but that is not likely in the United States since the amount of fluoridation is highly regulated. Good judgment is the key and parents should make sure children are not doing anything that might risk excess fluoride consumption, such as failing to spit out toothpaste after brushing. At the same time, parents should not become unduly concerned as bad fluorosis cases are rare.
A-Z Dental Care says that if anyone feels that something is wrong with their teeth, they should certainly visit their dentist to make sure everything is as it should be. The center contends that while fluorosis is unlikely to start in adulthood, there exists a large list of other potential ailments that could be at play if patients notice anything amiss, so it is smart to see a dentist.
A-Z Dental Care notes that many dental ailments are readably treatable if the patient visits a good family dentist at the first sign of pain, discomfort, bleeding gums, persistent bad breath (halitosis) and other danger signs. On the other hand, the center adds, ailments that have been given time to develop are far more likely to not only cause serious damage to one's teeth and always cost significantly more to address than preventive measures like regular checkups and cleanings.
Interested readers can learn more about A-Z Dental Care by calling (626) 314-6908 or by visiting the office's website at https://www.atozdentalcare.com/.

Former Congressman and Addiction Recovery Advocate to Offer Expertise to Cutting-Edge Digital Behavioral Health Company

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Kaden Health, the digital behavioral health company dedicated to combatting the opioid crisis, is pleased to announce today that Patrick J. Kennedy, Rhode Island's eight-term First Congressional District Representative and longtime mental health and addiction recovery advocate, has joined Kaden as a Board Observer.
Mr. Kennedy is the founder of The Kennedy Forum, a nonprofit that aims to promote health equity by advancing evidence-based practices, policies, and programming around mental health and addiction. He is also a founding advisor of Advocates for Opioid Recovery (AOR), an organization focused on advancing evidence-based treatment systems to reduce death and suffering from opioid addiction.
As opioid-related deaths continue to devastate American families, Kaden's Virtual Medication Assisted Treatment (vMAT) platform is a fully-integrated approach to treat Opioid Use Disorder.
Leveraging proprietary, cutting-edge mobile virtual technology and a custom network of medical professionals and therapists, Kaden has become a crucial in-network platform and provider for forward-thinking health plans. Patients then have access to Kaden services and technology platform for ongoing treatment and support via their smartphone, tablet or PC. This unfettered access to effective treatments is exactly the type of support needed to put patients firmly on the path to recovery. The Kaden Board of Directors and its observers provide critical input and guidance in delivering that support.
"Patrick's background and expertise positioned him as an ideal addition bringing guidance and support to our executive management team and our board," said Dave Henderson, CEO of Kaden Health. "We look forward to him bringing his knowledge and experiences to bear to make the Kaden platform even more accessible and effective for those struggling with opioid use disorder."
In his role on the board, Mr. Kennedy will share personal and professional insights gained from years of work in health care policy, mental health advocacy, and recovery support systems.
Kennedy is co-author of the New York Times bestseller, "A Common Struggle: A Personal Journey Through the Past and Future of Mental Illness and Addiction." The narrative details his personal struggles, as well as his bold road map for the future of mental health and addiction care in America. In breaking his family's "code of silence," Kennedy openly challenged the stigma and shame commonly surrounding families trying to cope with mental illness or addiction.
During his 16 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Mr. Kennedy fought to end discrimination against those with mental illness, addiction, and other brain diseases. He is best known as the lead sponsor of the groundbreaking Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (Federal Parity Law), which requires insurers to cover treatment for mental health and substance use disorders no more restrictively than treatment for illnesses of the body, such as diabetes and cancer.
In 2017, he served on the President's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis.
"To truly address our nation's mental health and addiction crisis, we need smart, innovative treatment strategies that meet people where they are," said former U.S. Rep. Kennedy. "Kaden represents the future of accessible, personalized care. I'm proud to work with this talented team of professionals who are dedicated to facilitating the change we need."
To this end, Kaden has recently reached out to a multitude of health plans and other traditional brick-and-mortar addiction recovery organizations to offer expedited access to the Kaden Technology Platform so that Opioid Use Disorder patients may receive treatment virtually to help alleviate concerns around the coronavirus outbreak.
"We want to do all that we can to ensure that concerns around the spreading of one deadly disease doesn't facilitate the spread or prevent treatment of another," said Mr. Henderson. "We want to do our part to ensure those in need of treatment can continue their recovery without the additional fear of potentially contracting the COVID-19 virus."
"Now, more than ever, there is a serious need for digital treatment solutions like Kaden's Technology Platform," said Kennedy. "When it comes to recovery from OUD, connectedness cannot be compromised—not even during a pandemic. We know physical distancing is critical to stop the spread of Coronavirus, and thanks to Kaden, people who can't seek clinical care in person still have the ability to seek care virtually."
Kaden is presently enrolling and pre-enrolling patients in Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York, with six additional states planned throughout 2020. Based on the gold standard of Medication Assisted Treatment and leveraging virtual technology, the Kaden provider-practices in each state offer a more convenient, intuitive and ultimately effective long-term success relative to traditional treatment methods. Kaden's platform integrates all aspects of the patient's therapy and medical care and supports the patient with a concierge Patient Advocate available at any point along their treatment journey.
Kaden's coordinated approach is centered, from the first in-person visit with a medical professional through all succeeding virtual visits and therapy, on the Kaden Technology Platform. This leading-edge intuitive interface allows the patient, therapist, medical prescriber, and the advocate all to communicate and collaborate in ways that are specific to each patient's individual needs and ultimately help the person to reclaim a healthy, productive lifestyle.
This release is for informational purposes only, and no offer regarding the solicitation of the purchase or sale of any security or securities product is made hereby.
About Kaden Health: 
Based in New York City, Kaden is a digital behavioral health company dedicated to solving the greatest healthcare challenges of our time with ground-breaking technology and unwavering humanity. Kaden's first product tackles the opioid addiction crisis by positively influencing human behavior and making advanced technologies and proven treatments accessible to all so that no one has to fight opioid or any addiction alone.

About Patrick J. Kennedy: 
Former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy is founder of The Kennedy Forum, a nonprofit that unites mental health advocates, business leaders, and government agencies in support of mental health equity; co-founder of One Mind, which pushes for greater global investment in brain research; co-chair of Mental Health for US, a nonpartisan initiative to elevate mental health and addiction in policy conversations during the 2020 election cycle; and founder of DontDenyMe.org, an educational campaign that empowers consumers and providers to understand parity rights and connects them to essential appeals guidance and resources.

The Nonprofit Council of San Antonio has launched an emergency relief initiative to help sustain more than 500 South Texas nonprofits taxed by unprecedented strains on their services and operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020

Hydration & Better Health Education Worldwide Essential To Meeting Coronavirus Challenge. Nature's Tears EyeMist Sponsors Power of Water Water Life Science Talk Show.

GRANTS PASS, ORE. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Air Date: 16th March 2020
Guest: Rodrigo L. Romulo, MD, Adjunct Professor at Brown University Program in Infectious Diseases, Providence, Rhode Island; Board Member at Bon Secours Hampton Roads and the General Douglas MacArthur Foundation; Practice at Bayview Infectious Disease Consultants, Chesapeake, Virginia
https://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/122421/encore-infectious-disease-101-the-fundamentals-of-controlling-and-fighting-infectious-disease
Rodrigo L. Romulo, M.D., and international infectious disease consultant, makes clear on Kleyne talk radio that "Priority number one should be breaking the chain of transmission of the Coronavirus. Hydration should also be emphasized just as you say," he adds replying to a water question by host Sharon Kleyne.
Kleyne, an internationally respected body water evaporation and new water technology researcher who has studied water and water evaporation for more than thirty years, recalls the ebola crisis that was curtailed by having the afflicted drink a gallon a day of a solution of water, salt and sugar. "Why do you think they only thought about this solution during the Ebola problem? she asks Romulo.
"I can't comment on that," says Romulo, "but it's now recognized that hydration is very important."
"Are you a little surprised," asks Kleyne, "about influenza fatalities every year?"
"The influenza virus cycles every year," replies Romulo. "It has the ability to change how it looks to the immune system. Therefore, one vaccine does not protect you from the virus every year. Even though that annual flu shot doesn't provide you with a high degree of protection, it helps prevent the virus from spreading even more. Remember that influenza killed over a 100 million people worldwide in 1918-19. The flu has been around for a long time."
"Forever!" adds Kleyne. "Tell us what you've learned about the Coronavirus."
"Coronavirus is quite the dangerous virus," teaches Romulo. "It is transmitted as a respiratory droplet expelled from people who have symptoms like coughing & sneezing. The droplets land on surfaces and then can infect others."
"So, the virus doesn't float through the air?" asks Kleyne. "It goes through the skin with people touching things?"
"Yes, that is exactly right," says Romulo. "Vaccines," he explains, "stimulate the immune system to create a series of antibodies that fight the virus."
"What about people dying of pneumonia?" Kleyne asks.
"Death by pneumonia," says Romulo, "is usually the result of a complication of serious illness. It is not a natural consequence." The current virus crisis, Romulo advises, encourages us "to have a heightened sense of your habit of touching your face, and have a heightened sense of personal hygiene practices like handwashing..."
"Forever!" Kleyne adds. "Do it forever." Kleyne also wonders how we can get people under a lot of stress to relax. "Relax!" says Kleyne. "Slow, learn, enjoy that learning about what you need to do. I bump into a lack of education about the organs of the body," Kleyne adds. "The organ of the skin is not understood. People with dry skin may be more prone to the virus."
Kleyne teaches that water is your health. Every organ of the body requires daily supplementation with 100 percent pure water. Drinking enough water every day flushes toxins out of the body. "What we are learning today," Kleyne concludes, "is that health education is vital to all. Even if you live in a hut in the jungle, learn health education!"

The National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC) and the American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians (ABQAURP) continue to work together to advance health care quality for patients and to strengthen Health Care Quality Management Certification and the Transitions of Care Sub-Specialty and Education for Providers.

NEW PORT RICHEY, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Throughout a long-standing relationship, The National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC) and the American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians(ABQAURP) have worked together to bring insight to successful care transitions for the health care team. The newest initiative is an educational endeavor by NTOCC that will be accredited by ABQAURP for CME/CE and available for health care professionals from both NTOCC and ABQAURP. These live and recorded webinars are a part of a lunch and learn series advancing the mission to improve care transitions.
Transitions of care, whether between physicians, within hospital departments, or when patients are discharged, are a major challenge to health care delivery. Reducing unnecessary, wasteful, duplicative, and potentially harmful services is essential to providing quality, accountable, and affordable health care. NTOCC's Lunch & Learn Series brings various perspectives from multiple health care stakeholders on transitions of care interventions, services, resources, and public policy issues.
Dr. James Lett, NTOCC President, shared, "NTOCC is excited about aligning our educational resources with the American Board of Quality Assurance & Utilization Review Physicians (ABQAURP) in support of improving transitions and care coordination for clinicians, patients, and family caregivers. Our combined efforts address the various levels of care and interventions that are available to clinicians and help to focus the need for improved patient-centered care".
As an ACCME-Accredited with Commendation provider, ABQAURP is excited to jointly provide these courses to the health care community.
Furthermore, ABQAURP provides certification to enhance the professional's credentials by achieving Certification in Health Care Quality and Management with additional Sub-Specialty certification available in Transitions of Care, Case Management, Physician Advisor, Managed Care, Patient Safety/Risk Management, and Workers' Compensation. ABQAURP has worked collaboratively with the American College of Physician Advisors, CMSA, and NTOCC to facilitate increased qualifications, competence, and authority within the field of Health Care Quality Management, essential to ensuring value-driven, safe, and equitable health care for patients. Certified professionals have demonstrated their competence, skills, and commitment to breaking down the barriers between different health care settings and working collaboratively for the good of the patient.

About NTOCC 
The National Transitions of Care Coalition is a 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to addressing a serious U.S. health care issue: filling the gaps that occur when patients leave one care setting and move to another care setting. These transitions include patients moving from primary care to specialty physicians; moving or transferring patients from the emergency department to intensive care or surgery; and when patients are discharged from the hospital to home, assisted living arrangements, or skilled nursing facilities.
Since 2006, NTOCC's Advisors Council of over 30 organizations has shared a common goal of improving the quality of Transitions of Care. Working in conjunction with 450 Associate Member organizations and over 3,000 individual professional subscribers, NTOCC has developed tools and resources made available to everyone in the health care industry including providers, payers, patients and consumers.

Mytonomy announces the availability of 16 new videos in English and Spanish to support patient-facing education around the novel Coronavirus (SARS2-CoV-19).

BETHESDA, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Mytonomy, an enterprise SaaS company and film studio enabling healthcare's digital front door, announced today the availability of 16 new videos in English and Spanish to support patient-facing education around the novel Coronavirus (SARS2-CoV-19).
The company has been providing support to multiple health systems via the development of original content to support this rapidly evolving public health crisis. The 16 newly released videos follow CDC and WHO guidelines and cover important topics such as: 

Why and how social distancing works and how to apply social distancing to your life

Rules for self-quarantine vs. self-isolation and how to carry it out effectively

What to do if you feel sick or think you have been exposed as well as how to use telehealth visits effectively

Reducing Coronavirus stress and bolstering your immune system during a crisis

Taking special precautions for those with underlying chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems

These videos can be accessed for free here: https://www.mytonomy.com/covid-19-patient-education-videos.html
This release follows on the heels of five videos released Monday, March 9th, 2020 which covered important informational topics such as: 

Coronavirus: What is it and how to stay safe, recognizing symptoms, and how to talk with kids about Coronavirus.

"One of my favorite videos in this release is How Community Spread Happens Fast. It's a short animation of Justin, a millennial who brings a box of donuts to work at his tech office, and unknowingly infects his co-workers, some who are at high risk for severe complications," said Anjali Kataria, CEO, and Co-Founder. "After seeing our health system partners quickly adopt the first five videos, and after reading an article this weekend called Social Distancing: This is Not a Snow Day by Asaf Bitton, MD, MPH from Ariadne Labs, it made sense to galvanize our content team to create these additional videos."
"Hopefully, this new content will help reduce the strain on front-line health care workers and provide patients and their families with answers to important questions in this time of uncertainty. Coronavirus has forced us to think differently and do what we each can to help flatten the curve," said Kataria.
The videos are accessible through Mytonomy's Patient Experience Cloud as part of a care communication strategy to inform existing patients or monitor patients suspected of being infected.
Third parties can request the actual MP4 files for their social media use or delivery alongside their telehealth program by emailing Mytonomy at covid19@mytonomy.com.
About Mytonomy

Electronic Payments takes action to support merchants nationwide by reducing business expenses and providing quick, cost-effective access to capital during time of need.

CALVERTON, N.Y. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Leading innovator in payments and point of sale technologies, Electronic Payments, today announced they will temporarily suspend monthly TableTurn and Exatouch Point of Sale support costs and their related AppMarket fees to assist the most vulnerable business sector in the United States economy, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), during the coronavirus pandemic. The three-month billing suspension from March through May 2020 will help to alleviate the potential economic impact facing merchants due to COVID-19, including a decrease in sales and workforce capacity, facility remediation and clean-up costs, and unforeseen business closure.
SMBs are the nation's largest employer and have the greatest impact on their communities, and they are oftentimes family owned and operated. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 30 Million SMBs employing more than 59 Million people. Many of these merchants use point of sale solutions, such as TableTurn and Exatouch, to manage business operations. By waiving standard support and AppMarket costs, Electronic Payments provides savings that empower merchants to respond more readily to market fluctuations, additional business expenditures, and potential cash flow reductions over the coming months.
The suspension of wireless access fees benefits businesses that require remote payment processing. These merchants may not have access to WiFi connectivity due to the mobile nature of their businesses, such as restaurants that offer delivery or curbside pickup, taxi drivers, contractors, etc.
Additionally, Electronic Payments is working with their various lending partners to streamline merchant access to capital, reduce lending and cash advance fees, and eliminate any commissions that the company may receive from these lending efforts. This ensures that SMBs obtain essential capital and cash flow at the best price on the market, and reaffirms that Electronic Payments is not capitalizing on the novel coronavirus pandemic.
"Electronic Payments processes in excess of $13 Billion in annual volume, more than $1 Billion each month for our core clients, SMBs all across the country," said Michael Nardy, Electronic Payments Founder and CEO. "While we have business continuity and contingency plans in place for our staff, we are also thinking about our clients who are the lifeblood of our company and contribute to our success. Their business, literally, is our business. While merchants will still pay normal processing charges, other reductions in the cost of doing business will help. If we can all take small steps to reduce the burdens on obtaining capital or waive certain fees and charges during this unprecedented experience, our entire economy will be better for it and SMBs can thrive once this crisis passes."
Other merchant cost reductions include the shipping and handling of terminal replacements and paper supplies. Every month, Electronic Payments ships thousands of packages from their warehouse in Calverton, New York. If a merchant experiences a broken terminal or depletes their inventory of receipt paper, Electronic Payments will ship supplies directly to the merchant at no additional shipping cost, guaranteeing merchants business continuity without extra charges.

Covenant Medical Center calls on Render Impact to create engaging video wall content designed to produce a calmer, more inviting atmosphere for patients, families and hospital staff members.

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Render Impact was commissioned to create dynamic, evolving content for the Covenant Medical Center in Lubbock, TX as part of a new immersive and therapeutic digital experience in their Adult Emergency Department.
The visual transformation of the Emergency Department waiting room was designed to help reduce perceived wait times and increase patient satisfaction in an area that is typically associated with stress and anxiety. "The main goal for Covenant was simple: to enhance the overall patient experience by providing a comforting and serene space while waiting for care," said Walt Cathey, CEO of Covenant Medical Center.
The AV Design and Integration was led by the Professional Services and Design Team at Lubbock Audio Visual, Inc. In order to bring Covenant's vision to life, they designed two different size video walls for the Adult Emergency Department waiting room. The larger of the two was a 15-screen media wall in a 5x3 configuration with landscape-mounted displays and native resolution of 9600x3240 pixels. The other was a 4-screen media wall in a 4x1 configuration with portrait-mounted displays and native resolution of 4320x1920 pixels.
The content planning and strategy was a collaborative effort involving all stakeholders and guided by the Render Impact team. The goal was to produce a variety of content including historical footage, health trivia, computer-generated (CG) digital art, long-form video stories, branding and seamlessly-loopable, custom CG content. "One question we asked ourselves again and again during the production was: Can your eyes get lost in this scene? We wanted to make calming videos that pull viewers in a little deeper. Something that expands that needed distraction at a tense time," added Dan Maher, Production Manager at Render Impact.
Some of the current video wall content includes a custom CG waterfall, American flag, night sky, eagle flying, health-related trivia, nature scenes, 3D animations incorporating success stories, brand and mission values, and a timeline video celebrating 100 years of Covenant's history. A few content pieces, such as the CG night sky and waterfall, were developed to loop seamlessly so they can be enjoyed for longer periods of time before the next scene appears on the video wall.
A few weeks after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Covenant Adult Emergency Department personnel stated, "The immersive and therapeutic digital experience that is now engaging patients and their families is helping to lessen the stress during hospital visits. The video walls and content have certainly been a key contributor in creating a calmer, more inviting atmosphere for patients, families and hospital staff members."
Render Impact will continue to develop new content for the video walls in order to build a larger library of content and keep it fresh. Here is a link to view some of the current video wall content - https://vimeo.com/showcase/6745080
Render Impact helps businesses and brands engage their target audiences with powerful multimedia content customized for the location of their digital signage displays and desired effect. Render Impact takes a collaborative approach to each project and prides themselves on high quality design and top-notch service. No project is too large or too small for Render Impact and the same can be said about the screens on which the content is displayed. Learn more at https://renderimpact.com/
Covenant Health has served for more than 100 years as the only faith-based, clinically integrated health network in the West Texas, eastern New Mexico region providing a Christian healing ministry. Covenant's network includes seven hospitals, more than 1,000 licensed beds, more than 6,000 caregivers, nearly 100 primary care providers, and a medical staff of more than 600 physicians at its cornerstone facilities.

Customer engagement agency, ISC-CX, launches a Covid-19 safety app for worldwide distribution; Simple, contactless application via smartphone; Free for universities and schools.

MUNICH (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
ISC-CX, a global leader in customer engagement and measurement, has reacted to the Covid-19 crisis by launching a new digital tool for organizations called Healthy-Pass. The app provides an easy way for companies and public institutions of all types (universities, trade show venues, airports, stores, restaurants, etc.) to easily communicate with those entering their premises about Covid-19 risk factors that could affect others on the same premises.
How does it work? Upon entering a place of business or school, everyone fills out a short, 4-5 question screening survey on their own phones. The survey is easily accessed by a QR code near the entryway. The confidential information provided, which is a risk evaluation, is instantly sent to a designated employee in the organization. If someone reports on the survey that they are symptomatic of Covid-19 or have been in risk areas, the person can be gently approached instead of proceeding into the premises.

Shoreline Periodontics hosts the latest Hygiene Study Club titled, "Hands-On Instrument Sharpening" to help dentists, periodontists, and other dental professionals learn more about gum disease in New London, CT. The course gives the attending doctors along with their staff lessons on gum disease and ways to care for the tools used to treat the disease.

NEW LONDON, CONN. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Periodontists, Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski of Shoreline Periodontics, hosted the most recent Hygiene Study Club, "Hands-On Instrument Sharpening," featuring guest speaker, Dr. Rui Ma. Attendees of the course gained hands-on experience and education on sharpening dental instruments and learned best treatment practices for gum disease. The Hygiene Study Club is a part of Dr. Toback and Urbanski's continuing education courses held regularly in New London, CT.
"The issue with gum disease is that it is a silent concern, with some patients reporting never feeling any pain or knowing they were affected. So, gum disease should not be taken lightly and should be detected early on. Otherwise, we find that patients come to us and there is nothing we can do other than extract affected teeth," says Dr. Urbanski. "We have found that after gum disease treatment, when a patient has a healthy mouth, they often feel healthier overall."
The Hygiene Study Club course, "Hands-On Instrument Sharpening," was dedicated to providing a deeper look at the treatment of gum disease for dentists, periodontists, and their staff. Many treatment options for those affected by gum disease involve the use of small, sharp instruments that scrape away bacteria, tartar, and infection. These tools and instruments must be sharp in order to maximize their effectiveness and provide patients with quick treatment in as gentle a manner as possible. Dr. Ma discussed and participated with attendees on ways to sharpen and utilize these instruments and tools to maximize their effectiveness when treating patients.
Common treatment methods for gum disease include scaling and root planing and osseous surgery. These procedures utilize fine tools that access areas below the gum line or surgically remove infected tissue. Periodontists use these procedures to cleanse the mouth, teeth, bone, and gums of disease and create a healthy environment again. In some cases, tissue must be removed, and bone reshaped, before the area can heal.
Gum disease is a common concern that affects nearly half of all adults to some degree. When the teeth and gums are not cleaned properly or a patient does not receive routine dental appointments, they are susceptible to developing the condition. When affected, patients often experience bleeding gums, loose teeth, chronic bad breath, and eventual tooth loss. Shoreline Periodontics specializes in the treatment of gum disease, both mild and severe, through traditional surgical procedures and modern laser dentistry with a method called LANAP.
Those in need of treatment for gum disease in New London, CT or Westerly, RI are encouraged to contact Shoreline Periodontics. With two locations to serve more patients, consultations and appointments can be made at either location by visiting their website at http://www.shorelineperio.com or by calling 860-443-2428 for the New London, CT location, or 401-596-0000 for the Westerly, RI office.

Westwind Integrated Health raises awareness of Alzheimer's disease and the importance of good physical and oral health. This dental-medical team offers whole-health services, from physicals to gum disease treatment, at their practice locations throughout Phoenix and Glendale, AZ.

GLENDALE, AZ (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
The dentists and medical doctors of Westwind Integrated Health raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease and the preventive steps patients can take to maintain their physical and oral health as they age. This dental-medical healthcare practice provides comprehensive, whole-body healthcare in the Phoenix and Glendale, AZ areas, including gum disease treatment to lower patients' risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive condition resulting in cognitive decline and memory loss over time. The most common Alzheimer's symptoms include memory loss, confusion, forgetfulness, difficulty completing everyday tasks, and personality or behavior changes. While this disease affects over 5 million Americans and is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States, it is incorrectly believed to be a normal part of aging. Though some individuals may be genetically more likely to develop this disease, certain lifestyle choices can decrease the risk of Alzheimer's symptoms and prevent the condition altogether. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, stimulating the brain, and good oral health (including a mouth free from gum disease) all play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Individuals with gum disease symptoms, including bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth, may be at a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease and should seek treatment immediately. A recent study published in Science Advances has found a link between the P. gingivalis bacteria associated with gum disease and Alzheimer's symptoms. The bacteria can travel from the infected gums to the brain, releasing toxins that can destroy the neurons vital for healthy cognitive functioning. Alzheimer's disease is not the only systemic condition that has been linked to gum disease. Gum disease has been noted to increase the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, as well. Maintaining good oral health, in addition to good physical health, and seeing a medical doctor and dentist regularly can help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's symptoms.
The dentists and medical doctors at Westwind Integrated Health provide Alzheimer's screenings and other cognitive testing to improve the chances of catching the disease early and provide necessary care. The collaborative team also offers comprehensive gum disease treatment to improve both oral health and physical health, reducing the risk for conditions like Alzheimer's disease. The dental-medical practice focuses on whole-body healthcare (including nutritional counseling and vision and hearing screenings) and incorporate both dental and medical care for children and adults in their nine locations.
Individuals experiencing symptoms of either Alzheimer's disease or gum disease in Phoenix or Glendale, AZ are encouraged to contact Westwind Integrated Health as soon as possible. Visit http://www.westwindintegratedhealth.com or call 602-457-8024 to schedule an appointment.

LA PLATA, MD (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Respected dentist, Dr. Patrick Cieplak of Cieplak Dental Excellence, and his hygienists Betsy and Monica, recently attended a course titled, "Dentists and Hygienists Treating Difficult Patients with Anxiety." The dental team is expanding their knowledge of patient anxiety to offer improved sedation dentistry in La Plata, MD. Sedation helps combat dental anxiety and allows patients to receive the care they need without fear or discomfort.
"This goes hand-in-hand with our 'caring and comfortable dentistry' approach," says Cieplak Dental Excellence's office administrator, Sharon Garner. "We help patients with high dental anxiety through sedation dentistry and our calm, reassuring and judgment-free practices."

The course also provided hands-on training, equipping the doctors and their team to provide superior sedation dentistry in La Plata, MD.
Sedation dentistry is an excellent solution for those who experience dental anxiety or fear. Sedation helps patients relax and get the care they need without fear, and often helps block sensations of discomfort. Dr. Cieplak offers effective oral sedation solutions that are administered in pill form prior to treatment taking place. This puts patients into a sleepy and dream-like state, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed during care. Sedation dentistry can be used for a variety of procedures, including simple dental treatments and complex dental surgeries.
Cieplak Dental Excellence offers comprehensive dental care in La Plata, MD. Treatments include cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, general dentistry and gum disease care. The practice excels at the placement of dental implants and can replace a single missing tooth or provide full mouth dental implants. Sedation dentistry is often used for dental implant treatment as it helps patients counter anxiety and block discomfort from the surgery. Often, sedation helps patients receive multiple treatments at once when choosing smile makeover treatment plans.

Quarterly Journal Will Cover Emerging Complex Litigation

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Legal publisher Fastcase and partner HB Litigation Conferences today announced a journal partnership to provide firms with expert insights into emerging litigation. The new Journal of Emerging Litigation will be led by Managing Director and Founder of HB Litigation Conferences Tom Hagy, who was the former Publisher and Managing Editor of LexisNexis Mealey's Litigation Reports. The Journal will be published by Full Court Press, the imprint of Fastcase.
"With many new areas of emerging litigation, from vaping and the emerging health crisis to privacy breaches to the in city invasion of e-scooters or the malodorous air pollution of hemp farms, our Docket Alarm service is in a unique position to track the filing data. We wanted to use this data to focus on new types of lawsuits and the experts who are leading the charge, before litigation completely unfolds. To do so, we have tapped a strong journalist and leader who can make sense of these new types of lawsuits and pick the best of the best to cover. Tom Hagy was the first and best choice for us," noted Steve Errick, COO of Fastcase.
Publishing its first issue this summer, the journal's focus will parallel Hagy's career-long concentration on emerging areas of litigation, supported with the valuable filing data from Docket Alarm. He added, "Emerging Litigation has always been driven by word-of-mouth until the first few verdicts come in and then the race is on. When Law Street Media Editor-in-Chief David Nayer told me Juul lawsuits were averaging four filings a month in April 2019, and 240 a month in October, it underscored the predictive value of early activity among litigators. Working with the Law Street Media and Docket Alarm teams as they count and track emerging litigation at the filing level grants us a fantastic ability to jump ahead and cover litigation as it unfolds – now that's emerging litigation data!"
"I am excited to work with an innovative, growing company like Fastcase," Hagy said. "I have a passion for emerging areas of litigation and working with top lawyers from around the country to cover these cases, evaluate them, and share valuable insights with professionals in the legal and business communities."
Law Street Media Editor-in-Chief David Nayer envisions the journal as a continuation of Fastcase's legal news service and a must-have resource for firms embracing emerging litigation. "As exciting as it is to cover breaking litigation daily, we wanted to expand our capabilities by connecting the Law Street Media data pipeline with Full Court Press, transforming breaking news into practice and deeper analysis."
"Our motto for Law Street is: Legal News Leads to Business," Nayer said. "One sure way to drive business to a law firm is to know about emerging litigation first. With our Emerging Litigation Journal – our subscribers can be among the first to see litigation trends and how leading litigators are developing their legal analysis. This all supports growing a firm's book of business. It's the roadmap for rainmakers in small and large firms alike."
Law Street Media's Emerging Litigation Law Journal will be the third periodical produced by the expanding Fastcase imprint Full Court Press, the publishing arm of Fastcase. Like Full Court Press's first two journals, RAIL: The Journal of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Law and AILA's Immigration Law Journal, the new Journal of Emerging Litigation will be available in several mediums: print, eBook, PDF, and within the Fastcase legal research application as part of an enhanced Law Street Media subscription.
As part of the launch, Hagy will form an Editorial Board of advisors with respective industry litigation expertise, and work closely with the Docket Alarm and Law Street Media team to cover the most urgent new litigation trends of 2020 and beyond.

Acutis Diagnostics announced today that it has released a multiplex laboratory test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. The assay will be available to providers beginning Monday, March 23, 2020.

EAST NORTHPORT, N.Y. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Acutis Diagnostics, a clinical diagnostics laboratory headquartered in New York, announced today that it has released a multiplex laboratory test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. The assay will be available beginning Monday, March 23, 2020 and will be run under an Emergency Use Authorization granted to Acutis from the FDA. The assay will use a standard nasopharyngeal specimen from which Acutis will extract viral RNA and then test for the presence of key genes that can be used to identify its presence.
"We are very proud of our outstanding research and development team who have worked tirelessly on this validation," commented Jibreel Sarij, CEO. "While offering an assay based on an EUA obtained by a diagnostic manufacturer rather pursuing our own might have been simpler, our team felt that by using our skill set honed in the design of our other molecular assays, it would allow us to provide the most effective solution to our clients. This process, whereby we performed prescribed validation steps using various sample types, provided us with a deeper understanding of the assay than we might have experienced otherwise. We are thankful to our development partners who have worked diligently along with our scientists, not only in providing some of the key validation material but also in ensuring us that they will be able to keep up with the demand that we have been seeing nationwide."
The Acutis SARS-CoV-2 test is a multiplex assay that targets three key genes—ORF1ab, N, and E, that scientists believe are key to accurately identifying the presence of the virus in patient samples. This assay is to be ordered under the guidelines issued by CDC and various departments of health to identify the presence of the virus in symptomatic patients who have tested negative for other respiratory viruses.

We are all social creatures by nature. In these uncertain times of social distancing and quarantine, it is important to remember to stay connected in positive ways.

MOBILE, ALA. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
As COVID-19 spreads across the nation, the Centers for Disease Control and other healthcare experts call for us to practice social distancing and, in some cases, self-quarantine to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. However, social distancing and quarantine can be especially difficult for people who have underlying mental health issues.
Cindy Gipson, Ph.D., serves as the assistant director of intensive services for AltaPointe Health and offers the following tips for staying connected in positive ways during these uncertain times. 

Tune out media that can produce anxiety or fear. It is okay to stay informed but do not spend more than 30 minutes a day on news media. Find out what you need to know to be safe then tune out.

Tune in to your support system. Reach out to family and friends by text or phone so that you stay connected and share information about your day, your hobbies, or your concerns.

Tune out, negative people. You don't need doom and gloom right now. Keep it positive or keep it moving!

Tune in to your resources. If you need more support than you can get from friends and family, reach out to your mental health professionals. We are still here to make sure you get what you need, and there are many ways we can help by phone.

Remember, YOU control the ability to tune in or tune out. Focus on the positive and do something that makes you feel productive at home and take comfort in talking with friends and family by phone. We are going to get through with the support of each other!

AltaPointe Health is Alabama's largest and most comprehensive health and human services organization and psychiatric hospital system. It is the second largest in the southeastern US serving Mobile, Baldwin, and Washington counties in south Alabama and Clay, Coosa, Randolph, and Talladega counties to the north. Each year it provides mental health, substance abuse, and intellectual disability services to more than 35,000 children and adults

For weeks, SignatureCare Emergency Center has been preparing its emergency room staff throughout Texas to deal with coronavirus cases.
Earlier this week, it announced that while we are still short of some critical safety equipment, medical equipment and laboratory tests, we understand that the virus will not wait for our preparedness measures to be complete.
The Houston, TX based company said it has distributed over 200 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) to its emergency room personnel in anticipation of COVID-19 patients visiting the ER in the coming days.
"In our preparation to handle COVID-19 cases, we recently placed hundreds of sets of protective equipment in all of our emergency centers. We want to make sure all of our employees are protected as they see patients who may be suffering from the virus," said Dr. Hashibul Hannan, a board-certified emergency room physician and managing partner at SignatureCare Emergency Center.
"All SignatureCare Emergency Center locations now have a baseline supply of the necessary equipment including gowns, eyewear, masks, boots, and gloves, as we stand strong in the face of this worldwide pandemic," he added.
Dr. Hannan advised Texans to protect themselves and their families against the coronavirus adding that while getting this personal protective equipment may prove difficult for families, there are ways around that dilemma.
"Having trouble finding masks in stores or online? There are ways to ensure we are not unknowingly spreading the virus. For instance, we can practice social distancing when we are with friends or out and about in public. We can also cover our noses and mouths with scarves or other pieces of clothing if we can't find masks, or other personal protective equipment," he said.
"Regular surgical masks can serve a purpose during COVID-19, to stop the spread of the disease to other people from the person wearing it. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should wear a surgical mask, which is different from an n95 mask. 
Even if you're feeling just fine, you could be an asymptomatic carrier."
"We are encouraging everyone to at least wear surgical masks, to reduce their chances of passing the virus onto their friends, family, and strangers in their communities. While it does not stop the spread of the virus completely, it certainly is better than not wearing a mask and trying to cough into one's sleeve," he added.
Hannan advised the public to practice social distancing as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adding that while it might not be necessary to wear a mask while at home, it is important to wear them when performing essential everyday tasks outside the home.
"People should avoid social gatherings as much as possible but if it is necessary to do so, I recommend wearing masks to protect those around you. Besides working as a barrier to spreading germs, it also works as a deterrent to touching one's face. At home, it may be OK to not wear a mask, however it is important to use it when performing essential tasks such as buying food from the grocery store or visiting a doctor," he said.
About SignatureCare Emergency Center
SignatureCare Emergency Center owns 24-hour emergency centers throughout Texas including nine locations in the Houston area (Montrose, Houston Heights, Cypress/FM 1960, Copperfield, Memorial City, Westchase, Bellaire, Mission Bend/Sugar Land and Stafford), Killeen, Austin, College Station, Paris, Midland, Odessa, Texarkana and our newest location in Lewisville, TX.

Tufts Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, University of Nebraska Medical Center and National Jewish Health have received accreditation as PHA Centers of Comprehensive Care (CCC) as part of the Pulmonary Hypertension Care Centers (PHCC) program, the Pulmonary Hypertension Association announces.

SILVER SPRING, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
The Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) announces that Tufts Medical Center in Boston; Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland; University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska; and National Jewish Health in Denver have received accreditation as PHA Centers of Comprehensive Care (CCC) as part of its Pulmonary Hypertension Care Centers (PHCC) program. They received accreditation from PHA after demonstrating their ability to deliver quality care to patients living with pulmonary hypertension (PH), a complex, often misdiagnosed, life-threatening disease.
Since PHA's accreditation program launched in 2014, 80 programs in 32 states have received PHCC accreditation. The program includes 59 adult and eight pediatric CCCs along with 13 adult Regional Clinical Programs (RCP).
The complex disease is thought to affect about 25 million adults and children worldwide and can occur among those with left-heart disease, along with sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), scleroderma and other associated diseases. PH is significantly underdiagnosed and misunderstood. Symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue and chest pain, are not necessarily specific to PH and can lead to dangerous delays in a correct diagnosis.
Although no cure exists, early diagnosis and proper treatment can extend and improve a patient's quality of life. In addition, advances in treatment and a better understanding of PH have led to effective therapies and improved survival for many types of PH, once diagnosed.
"We are thrilled to see the PHCC network continue to grow. This program is an important step toward providing quality care for PH patients and offering scientists and clinicians opportunities to advance clinical research," says Elizabeth Joseloff, Ph.D., vice president, Quality Care & Research, for PHA.
PHA-accredited sites are eligible for participation in the PHA registry (PHAR). PHAR collects data from individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pediatric PH due to developmental lung disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who are starting evaluation and/or treatment at PHCCs across the United States. Over time, PHAR will help researchers evaluate trends and practice patterns to determine the treatments that work best and support PH research.
About the Pulmonary Hypertension Association
Headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) is the oldest and largest nonprofit patient association dedicated to the pulmonary hypertension (PH) community. Pulmonary hypertension is a rare, chronic and life-threatening disease of the lungs for which no cure currently exists. PHA's mission is to extend and improve the lives of those affected by PH. To achieve this mission, PHA engages people with PH and their families, caregivers, health care providers, and researchers worldwide who work together to advocate for the PH community, provide support to patients, caregivers and families, offer up-to-date education and information on PH, improve quality patient care, and fund and promote research.

TECH4COVID19 brings together over 120 companies and 700 technologists to assist with pandemic support

LISBON, PORTUGAL (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Leaders of the Portuguese technology community today announced tech4COVID19, a movement aimed to create technological solutions to help society in overcoming the challenges of COVID-19.
The group has quickly evolved to include more than 120 companies and 2000 people from different backgrounds working together to help the country in the fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Companies cover a range of work areas such as cybersecurity, health, maintenance, human resources, consulting, cloud services, e-commerce, medical devices, among many others.
The tech4COVID19 movement currently has 12 projects under development. Among the current efforts are projects that seek to improve the tracking of contagion networks; facilitate video calls between doctors and patients; create a support network for displaced doctors and nurses or people who simply need help to go shopping or to the pharmacy; create a chatbot to answer questions about the support granted by the state to companies and individuals; speed up the purchase of hospital supplies and launch a crowdfunding campaign to purchase the same supplies; disseminate information, recruit and coordinate health professionals or create a system that allows the population to check symptoms without having to go to the doctor.
A platform for access to all of the projects will be launched soon.
"There is so much talent, potential, and an ability to do great things within Portuguese startups that our motivation was to direct that potential towards initiatives that would help everyone in this difficult period," says Felipe Ávila da Costa, spokesman for the tech4COVID19 group.
The group and the respective leaders of each project are already in contact with health professionals and with the competent entities, such as the Directorate-General for Health (Direção-Geral da Saúde), Shared Services of the Ministry of Health (Serviços Partilhados do Ministério da Saúde) and Regional Health Administrations (Administrações Regionais de Saúde). To ensure that the group's projects are having the hightest impact, leaders are taking into account the country's current needs and making sure there is no overlapping with operations already underway.

Care Management technology leader mobilizes rapidly to support health plans and members.

RESTON, VA. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Altruista Health has today deployed an evidence-based COVID-19 assessment to health plan customers to be populated throughout the company's GuidingCare technology platform for care management.
The emergency of COVID-19 has created a healthcare environment most Americans have never seen before and Altruista intends to support the healthcare ecosystem during this critical time.

"Some of these patients are sick, some are worried, but all of them have the same question," Dr. Khaneja said. "Do I have coronavirus?"
The questionnaire will stratify who should be tested based on clear risk factors and symptoms in order to focus on patients who most need help soonest. It has been distributed to all Altruista customers this morning.

Periodontists, Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski of Shoreline Periodontics, hosted the most recent Hygiene Study Club, "Hands-On Instrument Sharpening," featuring guest speaker, Dr. Rui Ma. Attendees of the course gained hands-on experience and education on sharpening dental instruments and learned best treatment practices for gum disease. The Hygiene Study Club is a part of Dr. Toback and Urbanski's continuing education courses held regularly in New London, CT.
"The issue with gum disease is that it is a silent concern, with some patients reporting never feeling any pain or knowing they were affected. So, gum disease should not be taken lightly and should be detected early on. Otherwise, we find that patients come to us and there is nothing we can do other than extract affected teeth," says Dr. Urbanski. "We have found that after gum disease treatment, when a patient has a healthy mouth, they often feel healthier overall."
The Hygiene Study Club course, "Hands-On Instrument Sharpening," was dedicated to providing a deeper look at the treatment of gum disease for dentists, periodontists, and their staff. Many treatment options for those affected by gum disease involve the use of small, sharp instruments that scrape away bacteria, tartar, and infection. These tools and instruments must be sharp in order to maximize their effectiveness and provide patients with quick treatment in as gentle a manner as possible. Dr. Ma discussed and participated with attendees on ways to sharpen and utilize these instruments and tools to maximize their effectiveness when treating patients.
Common treatment methods for gum disease include scaling and root planing and osseous surgery. These procedures utilize fine tools that access areas below the gum line or surgically remove infected tissue. Periodontists use these procedures to cleanse the mouth, teeth, bone, and gums of disease and create a healthy environment again. In some cases, tissue must be removed, and bone reshaped, before the area can heal.
Gum disease is a common concern that affects nearly half of all adults to some degree. When the teeth and gums are not cleaned properly or a patient does not receive routine dental appointments, they are susceptible to developing the condition. When affected, patients often experience bleeding gums, loose teeth, chronic bad breath, and eventual tooth loss. Shoreline Periodontics specializes in the treatment of gum disease, both mild and severe, through traditional surgical procedures and modern laser dentistry with a method called LANAP.
Those in need of treatment for gum disease in New London, CT or Westerly, RI are encouraged to contact Shoreline Periodontics. With two locations to serve more patients, consultations and appointments can be made at either location by visiting their website at http://www.shorelineperio.com or by calling 860-443-2428 for the New London, CT location, or 401-596-0000 for the Westerly, RI office.
About the Periodontists
Shoreline Periodontics is a periodontal practice offering personalized dental care for patients since 1998 and is located in New London, CT and Westerly, RI. Leading board-certified periodontist, Dr. Gregory A. Toback, received his B.A. from St. John's University and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Connecticut. He also received advanced training in periodontics and dental implants at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Dr. Marianne Urbanski has been voted one of Connecticut's top dentists for more than seven years by Connecticut Magazine.

Westwind Integrated Health raises awareness of Alzheimer's disease and the importance of good physical and oral health. This dental-medical team offers whole-health services, from physicals to gum disease treatment, at their practice locations throughout Phoenix and Glendale, AZ.

GLENDALE, AZ (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
The dentists and medical doctors of Westwind Integrated Health raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease and the preventive steps patients can take to maintain their physical and oral health as they age. This dental-medical healthcare practice provides comprehensive, whole-body healthcare in the Phoenix and Glendale, AZ areas, including gum disease treatment to lower patients' risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive condition resulting in cognitive decline and memory loss over time. The most common Alzheimer's symptoms include memory loss, confusion, forgetfulness, difficulty completing everyday tasks, and personality or behavior changes. While this disease affects over 5 million Americans and is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States, it is incorrectly believed to be a normal part of aging. Though some individuals may be genetically more likely to develop this disease, certain lifestyle choices can decrease the risk of Alzheimer's symptoms and prevent the condition altogether. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, stimulating the brain, and good oral health (including a mouth free from gum disease) all play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Individuals with gum disease symptoms, including bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth, may be at a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease and should seek treatment immediately. A recent study published in Science Advances has found a link between the P. gingivalis bacteria associated with gum disease and Alzheimer's symptoms. The bacteria can travel from the infected gums to the brain, releasing toxins that can destroy the neurons vital for healthy cognitive functioning. Alzheimer's disease is not the only systemic condition that has been linked to gum disease. Gum disease has been noted to increase the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, as well. Maintaining good oral health, in addition to good physical health, and seeing a medical doctor and dentist regularly can help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's symptoms.
The dentists and medical doctors at Westwind Integrated Health provide Alzheimer's screenings and other cognitive testing to improve the chances of catching the disease early and provide necessary care. The collaborative team also offers comprehensive gum disease treatment to improve both oral health and physical health, reducing the risk for conditions like Alzheimer's disease. The dental-medical practice focuses on whole-body healthcare (including nutritional counseling and vision and hearing screenings) and incorporate both dental and medical care for children and adults in their nine locations.
Individuals experiencing symptoms of either Alzheimer's disease or gum disease in Phoenix or Glendale, AZ are encouraged to contact Westwind Integrated Health as soon as possible. Visit http://www.westwindintegratedhealth.com or call 602-457-8024 to schedule an appointment.
About the Practice
Westwind Integrated Health offers dental and medical care from nine locations in the Glendale and Phoenix, AZ areas. As the only private practice in Arizona and one of only a few practices in the country to combine dental and medical care, this team is innovating health care by offering truly comprehensive care with a whole-body approach.

The team from Cieplak Dental Excellence, including dentist Dr. Patrick Cieplak, attends an educational course titled, "Dentists and Hygienists Treating Difficult Patients with Anxiety." The course gives attendees knowledge and tools to treat difficult or unmanageable patients who suffer from dental anxiety through sedation dentistry in La Plata, MD.

LA PLATA, MD (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Respected dentist, Dr. Patrick Cieplak of Cieplak Dental Excellence, and his hygienists Betsy and Monica, recently attended a course titled, "Dentists and Hygienists Treating Difficult Patients with Anxiety." The dental team is expanding their knowledge of patient anxiety to offer improved sedation dentistry in La Plata, MD. Sedation helps combat dental anxiety and allows patients to receive the care they need without fear or discomfort.
"This goes hand-in-hand with our 'caring and comfortable dentistry' approach," says Cieplak Dental Excellence's office administrator, Sharon Garner. "We help patients with high dental anxiety through sedation dentistry and our calm, reassuring and judgment-free practices."
The course was run through the Patuxent Dental Society and featured guest speaker Dr. Harvey Levy. The objective of the course was to give attendees the necessary knowledge and tools to treat patients who suffer from dental anxiety. The course illustrated criteria for patient case selection, pre- and post-operative care and tips for helping manage patients with anxiety. The course also provided hands-on training, equipping the doctors and their team to provide superior sedation dentistry in La Plata, MD.
Sedation dentistry is an excellent solution for those who experience dental anxiety or fear. Sedation helps patients relax and get the care they need without fear, and often helps block sensations of discomfort. Dr. Cieplak offers effective oral sedation solutions that are administered in pill form prior to treatment taking place. This puts patients into a sleepy and dream-like state, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed during care. Sedation dentistry can be used for a variety of procedures, including simple dental treatments and complex dental surgeries.
Cieplak Dental Excellence offers comprehensive dental care in La Plata, MD. Treatments include cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, general dentistry and gum disease care. The practice excels at the placement of dental implants and can replace a single missing tooth or provide full mouth dental implants. Sedation dentistry is often used for dental implant treatment as it helps patients counter anxiety and block discomfort from the surgery. Often, sedation helps patients receive multiple treatments at once when choosing smile makeover treatment plans.
Those interested in learning more about sedation dentistry in La Plata, MD are encouraged to contact Cieplak Dental Excellence by visiting http://www.patcieplakdds.com or calling 301-609-9999 to schedule a consultation.

Quarterly Journal Will Cover Emerging Complex Litigation

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Legal publisher Fastcase and partner HB Litigation Conferences today announced a journal partnership to provide firms with expert insights into emerging litigation. The new Journal of Emerging Litigation will be led by Managing Director and Founder of HB Litigation Conferences Tom Hagy, who was the former Publisher and Managing Editor of LexisNexis Mealey's Litigation Reports. The Journal will be published by Full Court Press, the imprint of Fastcase.
"With many new areas of emerging litigation, from vaping and the emerging health crisis to privacy breaches to the in city invasion of e-scooters or the malodorous air pollution of hemp farms, our Docket Alarm service is in a unique position to track the filing data. We wanted to use this data to focus on new types of lawsuits and the experts who are leading the charge, before litigation completely unfolds. To do so, we have tapped a strong journalist and leader who can make sense of these new types of lawsuits and pick the best of the best to cover. Tom Hagy was the first and best choice for us," noted Steve Errick, COO of Fastcase.
Publishing its first issue this summer, the journal's focus will parallel Hagy's career-long concentration on emerging areas of litigation, supported with the valuable filing data from Docket Alarm. He added, "Emerging Litigation has always been driven by word-of-mouth until the first few verdicts come in and then the race is on. When Law Street Media Editor-in-Chief David Nayer told me Juul lawsuits were averaging four filings a month in April 2019, and 240 a month in October, it underscored the predictive value of early activity among litigators. Working with the Law Street Media and Docket Alarm teams as they count and track emerging litigation at the filing level grants us a fantastic ability to jump ahead and cover litigation as it unfolds – now that's emerging litigation data!"
"I am excited to work with an innovative, growing company like Fastcase," Hagy said. "I have a passion for emerging areas of litigation and working with top lawyers from around the country to cover these cases, evaluate them, and share valuable insights with professionals in the legal and business communities."
Law Street Media Editor-in-Chief David Nayer envisions the journal as a continuation of Fastcase's legal news service and a must-have resource for firms embracing emerging litigation. "As exciting as it is to cover breaking litigation daily, we wanted to expand our capabilities by connecting the Law Street Media data pipeline with Full Court Press, transforming breaking news into practice and deeper analysis."
"Our motto for Law Street is: Legal News Leads to Business," Nayer said. "One sure way to drive business to a law firm is to know about emerging litigation first. With our Emerging Litigation Journal – our subscribers can be among the first to see litigation trends and how leading litigators are developing their legal analysis. This all supports growing a firm's book of business. It's the roadmap for rainmakers in small and large firms alike."
Law Street Media's Emerging Litigation Law Journal will be the third periodical produced by the expanding Fastcase imprint Full Court Press, the publishing arm of Fastcase. Like Full Court Press's first two journals, RAIL: The Journal of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Law and AILA's Immigration Law Journal, the new Journal of Emerging Litigation will be available in several mediums: print, eBook, PDF, and within the Fastcase legal research application as part of an enhanced Law Street Media subscription.
As part of the launch, Hagy will form an Editorial Board of advisors with respective industry litigation expertise, and work closely with the Docket Alarm and Law Street Media team to cover the most urgent new litigation trends of 2020 and beyond.

EAST NORTHPORT, N.Y. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Acutis Diagnostics, a clinical diagnostics laboratory headquartered in New York, announced today that it has released a multiplex laboratory test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. The assay will be available beginning Monday, March 23, 2020 and will be run under an Emergency Use Authorization granted to Acutis from the FDA. The assay will use a standard nasopharyngeal specimen from which Acutis will extract viral RNA and then test for the presence of key genes that can be used to identify its presence.
"We are very proud of our outstanding research and development team who have worked tirelessly on this validation," commented Jibreel Sarij, CEO. "While offering an assay based on an EUA obtained by a diagnostic manufacturer rather pursuing our own might have been simpler, our team felt that by using our skill set honed in the design of our other molecular assays, it would allow us to provide the most effective solution to our clients. This process, whereby we performed prescribed validation steps using various sample types, provided us with a deeper understanding of the assay than we might have experienced otherwise. We are thankful to our development partners who have worked diligently along with our scientists, not only in providing some of the key validation material but also in ensuring us that they will be able to keep up with the demand that we have been seeing nationwide."
The Acutis SARS-CoV-2 test is a multiplex assay that targets three key genes—ORF1ab, N, and E, that scientists believe are key to accurately identifying the presence of the virus in patient samples. This assay is to be ordered under the guidelines issued by CDC and various departments of health to identify the presence of the virus in symptomatic patients who have tested negative for other respiratory viruses.

We are all social creatures by nature. In these uncertain times of social distancing and quarantine, it is important to remember to stay connected in positive ways.

MOBILE, ALA. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
As COVID-19 spreads across the nation, the Centers for Disease Control and other healthcare experts call for us to practice social distancing and, in some cases, self-quarantine to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. However, social distancing and quarantine can be especially difficult for people who have underlying mental health issues.
Cindy Gipson, Ph.D., serves as the assistant director of intensive services for AltaPointe Health and offers the following tips for staying connected in positive ways during these uncertain times. 

Tune out media that can produce anxiety or fear. It is okay to stay informed but do not spend more than 30 minutes a day on news media. Find out what you need to know to be safe then tune out.

Tune in to your support system. Reach out to family and friends by text or phone so that you stay connected and share information about your day, your hobbies, or your concerns.

Tune out, negative people. You don't need doom and gloom right now. Keep it positive or keep it moving!

Tune in to your resources. If you need more support than you can get from friends and family, reach out to your mental health professionals. We are still here to make sure you get what you need, and there are many ways we can help by phone.

Remember, YOU control the ability to tune in or tune out. Focus on the positive and do something that makes you feel productive at home and take comfort in talking with friends and family by phone. We are going to get through with the support of each other!

AltaPointe Health is Alabama's largest and most comprehensive health and human services organization and psychiatric hospital system. It is the second largest in the southeastern US serving Mobile, Baldwin, and Washington counties in south Alabama and Clay, Coosa, Randolph, and Talladega counties to the north. Each year it provides mental health, substance abuse, and intellectual disability services to more than 35,000 children and adults

The neighborhood 24-hour emergency room operator says all of its 17 emergency centers in Texas are determined to stand tall in support of the community in the midst of challenges from a national shortage of critical medical supplies to handle COVID-19 related issues.

HOUSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
For weeks, SignatureCare Emergency Center has been preparing its emergency room staff throughout Texas to deal with coronavirus cases.
Earlier this week, it announced that while we are still short of some critical safety equipment, medical equipment and laboratory tests, we understand that the virus will not wait for our preparedness measures to be complete.
The Houston, TX based company said it has distributed over 200 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) to its emergency room personnel in anticipation of COVID-19 patients visiting the ER in the coming days.
"In our preparation to handle COVID-19 cases, we recently placed hundreds of sets of protective equipment in all of our emergency centers. We want to make sure all of our employees are protected as they see patients who may be suffering from the virus," said Dr. Hashibul Hannan, a board-certified emergency room physician and managing partner at SignatureCare Emergency Center.
"All SignatureCare Emergency Center locations now have a baseline supply of the necessary equipment including gowns, eyewear, masks, boots, and gloves, as we stand strong in the face of this worldwide pandemic," he added.
Dr. Hannan advised Texans to protect themselves and their families against the coronavirus adding that while getting this personal protective equipment may prove difficult for families, there are ways around that dilemma.
"Having trouble finding masks in stores or online? There are ways to ensure we are not unknowingly spreading the virus. For instance, we can practice social distancing when we are with friends or out and about in public. We can also cover our noses and mouths with scarves or other pieces of clothing if we can't find masks, or other personal protective equipment," he said.
"Regular surgical masks can serve a purpose during COVID-19, to stop the spread of the disease to other people from the person wearing it. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should wear a surgical mask, which is different from an n95 mask. 
Even if you're feeling just fine, you could be an asymptomatic carrier."
"We are encouraging everyone to at least wear surgical masks, to reduce their chances of passing the virus onto their friends, family, and strangers in their communities. While it does not stop the spread of the virus completely, it certainly is better than not wearing a mask and trying to cough into one's sleeve," he added.
Hannan advised the public to practice social distancing as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adding that while it might not be necessary to wear a mask while at home, it is important to wear them when performing essential everyday tasks outside the home.
"People should avoid social gatherings as much as possible but if it is necessary to do so, I recommend wearing masks to protect those around you. Besides working as a barrier to spreading germs, it also works as a deterrent to touching one's face. At home, it may be OK to not wear a mask, however it is important to use it when performing essential tasks such as buying food from the grocery store or visiting a doctor," he said.
About SignatureCare Emergency Center
SignatureCare Emergency Center owns 24-hour emergency centers throughout Texas including nine locations in the Houston area (Montrose, Houston Heights, Cypress/FM 1960, Copperfield, Memorial City, Westchase, Bellaire, Mission Bend/Sugar Land and Stafford), Killeen, Austin, College Station, Paris, Midland, Odessa, Texarkana and our newest location in Lewisville, TX.

Tufts Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic, University of Nebraska Medical Center and National Jewish Health have received accreditation as PHA Centers of Comprehensive Care (CCC) as part of the Pulmonary Hypertension Care Centers (PHCC) program, the Pulmonary Hypertension Association announces.

SILVER SPRING, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
The Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) announces that Tufts Medical Center in Boston; Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland; University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska; and National Jewish Health in Denver have received accreditation as PHA Centers of Comprehensive Care (CCC) as part of its Pulmonary Hypertension Care Centers (PHCC) program. They received accreditation from PHA after demonstrating their ability to deliver quality care to patients living with pulmonary hypertension (PH), a complex, often misdiagnosed, life-threatening disease.
Since PHA's accreditation program launched in 2014, 80 programs in 32 states have received PHCC accreditation. The program includes 59 adult and eight pediatric CCCs along with 13 adult Regional Clinical Programs (RCP).
The complex disease is thought to affect about 25 million adults and children worldwide and can occur among those with left-heart disease, along with sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), scleroderma and other associated diseases. PH is significantly underdiagnosed and misunderstood. Symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue and chest pain, are not necessarily specific to PH and can lead to dangerous delays in a correct diagnosis.
Although no cure exists, early diagnosis and proper treatment can extend and improve a patient's quality of life. In addition, advances in treatment and a better understanding of PH have led to effective therapies and improved survival for many types of PH, once diagnosed.
"We are thrilled to see the PHCC network continue to grow. This program is an important step toward providing quality care for PH patients and offering scientists and clinicians opportunities to advance clinical research," says Elizabeth Joseloff, Ph.D., vice president, Quality Care & Research, for PHA.
PHA-accredited sites are eligible for participation in the PHA registry (PHAR). PHAR collects data from individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pediatric PH due to developmental lung disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who are starting evaluation and/or treatment at PHCCs across the United States. Over time, PHAR will help researchers evaluate trends and practice patterns to determine the treatments that work best and support PH research.
About the Pulmonary Hypertension Association
Headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) is the oldest and largest nonprofit patient association dedicated to the pulmonary hypertension (PH) community. Pulmonary hypertension is a rare, chronic and life-threatening disease of the lungs for which no cure currently exists. PHA's mission is to extend and improve the lives of those affected by PH. To achieve this mission, PHA engages people with PH and their families, caregivers, health care providers, and researchers worldwide who work together to advocate for the PH community, provide support to patients, caregivers and families, offer up-to-date education and information on PH, improve quality patient care, and fund and promote research. For more information, visit the PHA website.

LISBON, PORTUGAL (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Leaders of the Portuguese technology community today announced tech4COVID19, a movement aimed to create technological solutions to help society in overcoming the challenges of COVID-19.
The group has quickly evolved to include more than 120 companies and 2000 people from different backgrounds working together to help the country in the fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Companies cover a range of work areas such as cybersecurity, health, maintenance, human resources, consulting, cloud services, e-commerce, medical devices, among many others.
The tech4COVID19 movement currently has 12 projects under development. Among the current efforts are projects that seek to improve the tracking of contagion networks; facilitate video calls between doctors and patients; create a support network for displaced doctors and nurses or people who simply need help to go shopping or to the pharmacy; create a chatbot to answer questions about the support granted by the state to companies and individuals; speed up the purchase of hospital supplies and launch a crowdfunding campaign to purchase the same supplies; disseminate information, recruit and coordinate health professionals or create a system that allows the population to check symptoms without having to go to the doctor.
A platform for access to all of the projects will be launched soon.
"There is so much talent, potential, and an ability to do great things within Portuguese startups that our motivation was to direct that potential towards initiatives that would help everyone in this difficult period," says Felipe Ávila da Costa, spokesman for the tech4COVID19 group.
The group and the respective leaders of each project are already in contact with health professionals and with the competent entities, such as the Directorate-General for Health (Direção-Geral da Saúde), Shared Services of the Ministry of Health (Serviços Partilhados do Ministério da Saúde) and Regional Health Administrations (Administrações Regionais de Saúde). To ensure that the group's projects are having the hightest impact, leaders are taking into account the country's current needs and making sure there is no overlapping with operations already underway.

Long Island drivers can shop safely for new Honda vehicles with online shopping, home and office delivery and sanitized surfaces at Bay Shore dealership

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
The spread of COVID-19, more commonly known as Coronavirus, has caused a lot of concern towards the health and safety practices of businesses. For businesses that have remained open, customers want assurance that their interactions with products and employees are safe and without risk of infection. That's why Atlantic Honda has established a new set of protocols during the ongoing nationwide pandemic to show that the dealership staff puts the thought of its customers first and foremost.
The first service highlighted by Atlantic Honda is that of home and office delivery. This is a service that has always been offered by the dealership but is far more prevalent and sought after during the fears of the Coronavirus. Sales from the Atlantic Honda new and pre-owned inventories can be done entirely online or over the phone. Then, after the completion of a purchase, finance or lease, a dealership employee can deliver a customer's ride to any home or office location requested. Vehicle delivery services are offered to all residents of Long Island and the five boroughs of New York City, those being Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
For car shoppers who still wish to do business at the Atlantic Honda dealership, all precautions are being taken to ensure safe visits. Industrial-grade cleaning products are being used to disinfect the dealership twice a day, in the morning and at night. During business hours, hand sanitizers have been placed throughout the dealership and staff members are required to clean and wipe down desks, vehicles, chairs, doorknobs and all other surfaces after use. Additionally, for customers who do choose to use the method of home or office vehicle delivery, all vehicles are thoroughly cleansed before delivery.
To learn more about the safety precautions and available services at Atlantic Honda, drivers in the Long Island area are encouraged to contact the dealership staff. The Atlantic Honda dealership is located at 1375 Sunshine Hwy., Bay Shore, New York 11706.

As Ransomware Threat Rises, Consumers Impacted By Healthcare Cyberattacks Jumps from 6% Last Year to 21% in 2020

BE'ER SHEVA, ISRAEL AND BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
More than one-in-five consumers have been impacted by a cyberattack against their healthcare provider in the past year according to the 2020 Consumer Healthcare Cybersecurity Index released today by Morphisec, the leader in Moving Target Defense. This figure is a sharp increase from 2019 when just 6% of Americans stated their healthcare provider had been affected by a cyberattack or data breach.
Ransomware is leading the pack of threats facing healthcare providers in 2020. Rather than broadly deployed cyberattacks or spam, cybercriminals are explicitly targeting healthcare organizations with the goal of exfiltrating data and then encrypting as many computers and servers as possible. One ransomware of choice for malicious parties is BitPaymer ransomware, which first rose to prominence in 2017 when it was used to breach multiple Scottish hospitals.
Morphisec has been closely monitoring the increasing use of BitPaymer ransomware over the last twelve months. In April of 2019, Morphisec found attackers using supply chain solution providers to deliver the Bitpaymer ransomware. In September of last year, Morphisec found that attackers were using an even more creative route to deliver Bitpaymer to enterprises via a vulnerability in the Apple Software Update utility that came packaged with iTunes for Windows.
As Morphisec continues to assist healthcare providers such as Citizens Medical Center and Freeman Health with improving their cyber defenses to thwart ransomware and other attacks, it commissioned the second annual Consumer Healthcare Cybersecurity Threat Index to examine how the increasing amount of healthcare cyberattacks is impacting the mindset of consumers. A survey was administered in February 2020 to 1,000 consumers aged 18+ and weighted for the U.S. population by age, region, and gender.
Additional highlights from the 2020 Consumer Healthcare Cybersecurity Threat Index include: 

More than one-in-five consumers express that they would consider switching healthcare providers if they were the victim of a cyberattack. An additional 57% say their decision to switch providers would depend on how the provider handled the breach.

Consumers believe it is increasingly a joint responsibility (61%) between them and their healthcare provider in protecting personal healthcare data, a 10% jump from the previous year.

With the abundance of ransomware attacks, 43% of consumers claim they would be able to determine if it was a ransomware threat versus a more benign adware threat. That was nearly double the percentage of consumers who thought they could decipher the difference between the two in 2019 (22%).

However, despite a growing knowledge of ransomware, when consumers were asked what they believe healthcare IT professionals should do to respond to a ransomware attack, many consumers illustrated they still have more to learn. 11% of respondents said they would have their healthcare provider pay the ransomware demand, despite experts noting that you should rarely pay a ransomware demand to regain access to a network.

One-quarter of U.S. consumers fear their healthcare providers' web browser defenses are their weakest security link, followed closely by their email phishing defenses (23%) and endpoint security (19%).

"With data breaches costing healthcare providers over $4 billion in 2019 and attacks becoming more sophisticated, it's no surprise today's consumers are more aware of the dangers impacting the healthcare industry," says Andrew Homer, VP of Security Strategy at Morphisec. "Ransomware is nearly three times more likely to be the cause of data breaches in the healthcare industry than within other markets, and therefore healthcare cybersecurity professionals are increasingly turning to lightweight, advanced protection against these threats to harden their security stacks as they migrate to Windows 10, as well as, cloud workload and virtual IT environments."

Key New NEPC FYI Print Takeaway: It's time for the media and political distortions to end, and for the literacy community and policymakers to fully support the literacy needs of all children.

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
The National Education Policy Center and the Education Deans for Justice and Equity (EDJE) today jointly released a Policy Statement on the "Science of Reading."
For the past few years, a wave of media has reignited the unproductive Reading Wars, which frame early-literacy teaching as a battle between opposing camps. This coverage speaks of an established "science of reading" as the appropriate focus of teacher education programs and as the necessary approach for early-reading instruction. Unfortunately, this media coverage has distorted the research evidence on the teaching of reading, with the result that policymakers are now promoting and implementing policy based on misinformation.
The truth is that there is no settled science of reading. The research on reading and teaching reading is abundant, but it is diverse and always in a state of change. Accordingly, the joint statement highlights the

Creative Safety Supply publishes infographic that showcases the CDC's recommendations for preventive action

BEAVERTON, ORE. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Creative Safety Supply, an Oregon-based supplier of industrial safety and Lean manufacturing products, has released an infographic describing how you can prevent the spread of germs.
This infographic illustrates the current best practices that have been established by the CDC for restricting the spread of respiratory illness. If you can't avoid exposure to illness, there are a few steps you can take to protect both yourself and others.
Avoid Close Contact 
Refrain from getting too close to people who are sick, and if you feel sick yourself, keep your distance. People who have a flu virus can spread it to others who are within six feet.
Cover Your Cough 
If you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue. Then promptly throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
Don't Touch Your Face 
It can be difficult, but the CDC asks that you avoid touching your mouth, eyes, or nose. The mucous membranes on your face are what allow respiratory infections to enter the body.
Stay Home 
Don't go to work or socialize if you feel sick. Even if your symptoms are mild, staying home helps to protect those who are most susceptible to these illnesses.
Clean and Disinfect 
Objects and surfaces that are constantly touched should be cleaned on a regular basis with cleaning spray or wipes. Every day, you should disinfect light switches, sinks, door knobs and handles, and keyboards.
Wash Your Hands 
The CDC recommends that you wash up for at least 20 seconds. Be sure to scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and underneath your nails. If no soap and water are available, use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Do You Need a Facemask? 
If you are feeling well, the CDC recommends that you do not wear a facemask. The use of facemasks should be reserved for health workers, people who are showing symptoms of respiratory illness, and those who are taking care of an ill person in close settings.
Are you doing what you can to help prevent the spread of disease? Share this infographic so everyone you know can also become aware of these recommendations. Like all of Creative Safety Supply's infographics, "Stop the Spread of Germs" is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. This means you can redistribute the infographic and transform or build upon the material as you see fit.
Creative Safety Supply continues to support safety and wellness, in both the workplace and the community. Along with many of the other resources the company has to offer, this infographic can help you maintain a safe and successful facility.

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

PLEASANTON, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Matt Ashley, M.D., Summit Urology Medical Group in Bend Oregon, has been designated as a UroLift Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Ashley's 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.
"This designation recognizes Dr. Matt Ashley's as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing safe and effective treatment to patients with BPH," said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. "We are pleased to see the continued acceptance of the UroLift System as a standard of care treatment that may allow men to discontinue the use of BPH medications and improve their quality of life."
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.

Combining multiple food allergies into one oral immunotherapy course can save time without raising risk, according to research that was scheduled to be presented at the 2020 AAAAI Annual Meeting.

MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Combining multiple food allergies into a single oral immunotherapy course is as safe and effective as single food immunotherapy, according to research scheduled for presentation at the 2020 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting before it was cancelled due to the situation with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
A retrospective review was used to complete the study, looking at patients who started peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) from April 2014 through September 2018 and patients undergoing multi-food OIT from February 2015 through September 2018. Diagnostic allergy testing was encouraged every year and reactions requiring epinephrine were recorded.
Multi-food patients were treated with an average of 2.4 foods (with individual options ranging from two to four foods in one OIT course). Patients on both forms of therapy were placed on a dosing schedule with the eventual goal of reaching maintenance dosing. According to the study, 85% of peanut OIT patients reached their maintenance dose compared to 80% of those on multi-food OIT. The median amount of time it took to reach the maintenance dose was 245 days for peanut OIT and 231 days for multi-food OIT patients.
"What we discovered is that instead of cycling through multiple six to 10 month single food courses, we can safely combine multiple foods into one OIT course," said Hugh H. Windom, MD, FAAAAI. "This gives patients with multiple food allergies more options when it comes to treatment plans."
Epinephrine was used in 13% of patients undergoing peanut OIT and 8% of multi-food OIT patients during the first year of treatment. This is consistent with published reports, and there were no reports of severe anaphylaxis. The most common reason for stopping OIT in both groups was non-compliance and delayed gastrointestinal symptoms. This further indicates that overall, there were little differences in effectiveness and safety when comparing single food OIT to multi-food OIT.
Visit aaaai.org to learn more about OIT. This research was published in an online supplement to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) represents allergists, asthma specialists, clinical immunologists, allied health professionals and others with a special interest in the research and treatment of allergic and immunologic diseases. Established in 1943, the AAAAI has over 7,000 members in the United States, Canada and 72 other countries.

Up to 41% of patients surveyed may have condition that can lead to nutritional deficiency, according to study originally scheduled to be presented at the 2020 AAAAI Annual Meeting.

MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
According to a new study that had been scheduled to be presented during the 2020 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting before its cancellation due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) could be a comorbidity associated with food allergy.
ARFID was recently added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). It is defined as someone who either doesn't consume enough calories or doesn't receive sufficient dietary variety to the detriment of their development or maintenance of body function, and who doesn't meet the definitions of a different medical eating disorder. Researchers predicted that because food allergies require elimination diets, patients may be at risk of developing ARFID.
To determine this, research psychologists conducted interviews as well as chart review with guardians of 54 children going to an allergy/immunology clinic for food allergy evaluation. Data such as demographics, growth parameters, food allergies, eating habits and details about food groups consumed, family impact, and additional comorbid medical conditions was collected.
Of those interviewed, 56% described restricting food intake beyond the known or suspected allergens, and 37% reported that their child was the one to restrict food intake themselves. Among those interviewed, 20% met the criteria of at least one of the subtypes of ARFID while another 11 participants were considered as possible/probable cases.
Though more than half of participants described restricted diets beyond the scope of specific allergens or due to a "picky eater," most children still had normal growth parameters. "We were happy to see that growth parameters were still usually being met," said author Brian P. Vickery, MD, FAAAAI, "but ARFID can be a long-lasting disorder that can cause significant impairment in daily functioning if not effectively addressed."
ARFID is reversible with proper individualized feeding therapy and education. "Our hope is that by implementing multidisciplinary feeding interventions to our food allergy patients, we'll not only reduce allergy-specific stress by equipping parents with effective feeding strategies, but hopefully prevent the development of ARFID in patients who may have otherwise never developed it," Dr. Vickery added. "The goal is to ensure that the medically necessary elimination diets required for food allergy patients are not overly restrictive, preserving adequate nutrition and allowing for normal functioning as much as possible."

HIPAA-Compliant Telephone or VideoTherapy to Provide Face-to-Face Remote Clinical Care.

JOHNS CREEK, GA. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
While our national and local communities work to contain and mitigate the coronavirus (COVID-19), The Summit is hard at work adapting their ways of doing daily business so that they can continue to serve clients through this difficult time. "We are continually monitoring the situation and taking extra precautions for the health and safety of our clients, their families and our staff while also implementing innovative ways to continue providing the best care possible for our clients," says David Smith, Executive Director at Summit Counseling.
Serving Our Clients Remotely 
"During this time of heightened precautions and anxiety surrounding close contact with others, we realize that in person counseling might not be an option for some of our current clients and others in need throughout the community," says Smith. Over the past week, The Summit has fast-tracked technical resources and additional training so that each of their therapists will be available to provide Tele-Mental Health via HIPAA-Compliant Telephone or VideoTherapy. The VideoTherapy platform is accessible via the internet using desktop, laptop, tablet or smart phone devices. This technology provides for face-to-face clinical care remotely, allowing both clients and clinicians to practice social distancing and uninterrupted therapy throughout this pandemic event.
Serving Our School-Based Clients 
In addition to their 5 community locations, The Summit currently partners with Fulton and Dekalb County School Districts to provide school-based mental health services in 28 local schools. "We are seeing a rise in our students' stress due to the academic and social disruptions and increased anxiety surrounding the current unknowns caused by COVID-19," says Smith. During the current school closings, The Summit has adjusted schedules at their facilities, allowing each of the school-based therapists extended office hours at the satellite office location closest to their school(s). School-based clients will also have the option to receive Tele-Mental Health services.
Serving Younger Clients 
The very nature of Play Therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach primarily used to help children ages 3 to 12 explore their lives and freely express repressed thoughts and emotions through play. Our Play Therapist are meeting together as a team and are currently part of nationwide online group that will be discussing best practice for play therapy as we move into the VideoTherapy world. They will be evaluating their clients, case-by-case to determine if the child is a good candidate for VideoTherapy or if Parent Coaching via VideoTherapy is a better fit.
DBT Skills Classes 
At this time, our DBT Skills Classes will continue to meet in person. However, we are in the process of establishing a remote group alternative for those who must stay home. If you plan to or believe you may need to attend groups remotely, please contact our office at 678-893-5300 to opt into our VideoTherapy services.
Coping with COVID-19 
The Summit is in the process of updating our website to include a page devoted to COVID-19. This page will be used to update our communication to our clients and the community and will also be a resource to help our community cope in this new world of COVID-19. Visit our website at SummitCounseling.org for more information.
About The Summit Counseling Center 
Since 1990, The Summit Counseling Center has been a trusted community partner; bringing hope, healing, and restoration to children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Through their partnerships with local community organizations, The Summit serves North Atlanta at 33 locations, including 28 local public schools where there is a therapist onsite.

MILLWOOD, VA. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
As confirmed cases of COVID-19 rapidly increase in the United States, Project HOPE is ramping up to support America's response efforts.
"As a global humanitarian organization, Project HOPE's mandate is always to respond where the need is greatest, and now the need is massive right here at home," said Rabih Torbay, President and CEO of Project HOPE. "We will be supporting America's health workers as they work to save lives and fight the virus's spread. And because one case can ignite a cluster, we're also looking at ways we can support underserved and marginalized communities that are unlikely to seek testing."
For more than 60 years, Project HOPE has worked on the front lines of the world's health challenges, partnering hand-in-hand with communities, health care workers, and public health systems to ensure sustainable change. When needs exceed local capacity, Project HOPE has used its global expertise to tackle health-related issues in the United States, particularly in response to large natural disasters that critically affect health and well-being. For example, in 2017, Project HOPE responded to three major hurricanes – Harvey, Irma, and Maria – by sending medical volunteers to Texas, Florida, and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
Project HOPE has been responding to the COVID-19 pandemic since the outbreak began. Since early February 2020, Project HOPE's team on the ground in China has been providing critical support and equipment to frontline health workers treating patients and working to contain the virus. Project HOPE has delivered nearly 5 million facemasks as well as isolation gowns, protective coveralls, exam gloves, and other protective gear to hospitals that have screened and treated thousands of patients in China.
As the virus spread and became a global pandemic, Project HOPE began preparing to provide vital training and contact tracing in high-risk countries like North Macedonia, Kosovo, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Colombia. In Puerto Rico – which is still reeling in the wake of Hurricane Maria as well as the earthquakes earlier this year – Project HOPE is working with partners on the ground to support community-based response efforts where health facilities remain stretched.

Sucheta Kamath, Founder and CEO of ExQ, a personalized training curriculum designed to teach Executive Function, shares a free Student Learning Exercise: ExQ Superpower Hour.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Sucheta Kamath, Founder and CEO of ExQ, a personalized training curriculum designed to teach Executive Function, shares a free Student Learning Exercise: ExQ Superpower Hour. During the recent closure of many schools related to COVID-19, many parents and teachers are seeking resources to help with the immediate need for activities that can be implemented at home, and the ExQ Superpower Hour is a quick, free, and easy activity that provides a framework to promote Executive Function through self-reflection.
Sucheta Kamath and her team will be offering teachers a complimentary classroom exercise called, ExQ Superpower Hour. A fun way to teach students the importance of practicing self-awareness so they can understand their Superpowers (strengths) and challenges to build confidence, empathy and develop a sense of purpose. Here is a three-step process to guide teachers as well as parents to introduce the concept of self-reflection to their students:
1. Explore Superpower Traits 
ExQ believes a superpower is a natural ability or talent that can be enhanced to develop stronger habits and flexible mindsets. During this part of the exercise, parents or teachers will help the students begin to identify their own Superpowers using a Superpower Menu to inspire self-reflection and provide conversation starters to help initiate discussions about strengths and challenges.
2. Empower Super Self-Awareness 
ExQ believes guided self-reflection leads to more effective future strategies. During the second part of the ExQ Superpower Hour, parents or teachers will ask students to imagine ways they will channel their superpower to achieve their personal best especially given these changes to their learning environment.
3. Educate Students about Executive Function 
ExQ believes that when students know more about their strengths and challenges, they can effectively guide their effort towards mastering their Executive Function. During the third part of the ExQ Superpower Hour students will be guided to take a long-view and to think about how their superpower could help them become the person they want to be.
About ExQ: Rooted in more than 20 years of cognitive neuroscience and Executive Function training expertise, ExQ is a cloud-based patented system designed to enhance the brain's Executive Function through personalized game-based training that focuses on teaching students to learn how to learn.

Kajeet has awarded the Austin Independent School District a grant to install 534 Kajeet SmartBus WiFi routers on their entire school bus fleet. The grant, valued at over $600,000, will be used to equip Austin school buses with Education Broadband to provide Wi-Fi access that keeps students on task on traditional bus routes, field trips, activities and athletic trips throughout the 2020-2021 Academic Year.

MCLEAN, VA. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Kajeet has awarded the Austin Independent School District a grant to install 534 Kajeet SmartBus WiFi routers on their entire school bus fleet. The grant, valued at over $600,000, will be used to equip Austin school buses with Education Broadband to support the district's COVID-19 plans, as well as to provide Wi-Fi access that keeps students on task on traditional bus routes, field trips, activities and athletic trips throughout the 2020-2021 Academic Year.
Although the grantmaking process began months before the COVID-19 outbreak, the award will figure significantly in the district's remote online learning plans. "As we prepare for the possibility of extended school closures, we know that an Internet connection is a lifeline and a learning link for our students," says Kevin Schwartz, Chief Technology Officer for Austin Independent School District. "Austin ISD will be deploying many of our 500+ Kajeet Wi-Fi/Internet enabled school buses to locations around our school district so that students can connect using our district Chromebooks."
Under the terms of the award, both Kajeet and Austin ISD agreed to jointly deploy, promote, monitor, evaluate, and report on the impact of patented Kajeet SmartBus Wi-Fi as it relates to utilization rates, improvements to homework completion rates, student satisfaction, driver satisfaction, and reduction in disciplinary incidents, among other key performance measures. These metrics and more, planned before the recent COVID-19 outbreak, will be evaluated throughout the coming school year.
"We've already seen the positive impacts of our Kajeet SmartBus Wi-Fi in school districts across the country, but this exciting partnership—the largest deployment of our SmartBus Wi-Fi program in a single fleet—will give us irrefutable empirical evidence of its widespread impact in education, both enabling students to connect beyond the classroom and keeping them even safer on the school bus and as they disembark," says Daniel Neal, Founder and CEO of Kajeet. "We're especially pleased that the SmartBus Wi-Fi will be an essential component of Austin ISD's COVID-19 response plans, since our underlying mission as a company has always been to provide safe, equitable mobile broadband access for students."
Kajeet SmartBus Wi-Fi has been deployed in more than 285 school bus fleets across the United States and Canada across 6 major LTE networks, extending broadband access for all riders and enabling buses and other school vehicles to be used for additional connectivity for special activities, sporting events, field trips, and at community locations.

"We've already seen the positive impacts of our Kajeet SmartBus Wi-Fi in school districts across the country, but this exciting partnership will give us irrefutable empirical evidence of its widespread impact in education," says Daniel Neal, Founder and CEO of Kajeet.

Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones and Atlanta Plastic Surgery Specialists have recently acquired the cutting-edge LipoLite laser liposuction tool. It is an outpatient alternative to traditional liposuction.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
With the use of Syneron's LipoLite, patients can see liposuction-like results without significant discomfort or downtime that is more affordable than traditional liposuction. Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones of Atlanta Plastic Surgery Specialists P.C. in Atlanta, Georgia, is now able to provide this option to his patients. Dr. Jones is an internationally educated, world-class trained and double board-certified (plastic surgery and ENT) surgeon. His most popular services include body contouring and breast surgery, facial plastic surgery, ear surgery and a full array of non-surgical procedures to help patients look and feel their best. Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones is a renowned expert in the field of body sculpting. If you are struggling to lose weight, laser liposuction at Atlanta Plastic Surgery Specialists P.C., with the FDA-approved LipoLite, may help you boost your efforts.
Most often, LipoLite is performed on the neck, abdomen, arms and jowls. The other areas that are commonly treated include gynecomastia, saddlebags and knees. With LipoLite, a small incision is made, and a cannula is inserted through it. A thin laser beam is then directed into the layer of fat that has to be removed through the cannula. The laser beam (at 1064 nm), directed through the cannula tube, will rupture the fat cells. This will liquefy the fat in the target area, broken down by thermal energy. The fat is suctioned out through the same incision used for the cannula tube. The accuracy of the laser target and the heat passed through is monitored by the LipoLite machine. The procedure is carried out with local anesthesia and is considered a minimally invasive treatment option.
"I am passionate about helping my patients achieve their body shape goals. If you are struggling to shed pockets of fat with diet and exercise alone, our new LipoLite laser system may be the right choice for you," says Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones
More About Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones:
Dr. Jones received his medical degree from The Medical College of Georgia and also attended the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and Oxford University Honours School in England. He completed his residencies at Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University and was selected for a Fulbright fellowship, training under world-leading plastic surgeons in Paris, France, including the inventor of liposuction, Dr. Illouz. Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones has been recognized for his surgical innovations and skill in enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of the body. He is a scholar and a teacher in his field, contributing to medical journals and presenting at numerous conferences and events. Dr. Jones is often interviewed by national publications and broadcast television programs.

Hospitals can quickly and safely implement free reporting tool to manage utilization of critical supplies and avoid stockouts during high-volume COVID-19 response

EAGAN, MINN. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has placed unique pressures on the hospital supply chain, forcing facilities to maintain a detailed picture of what inventory they have available, where it's located, and how fast it's moving – all of which is essential to treating the high volume of patients with COVID-19 symptoms. To help hospitals achieve this critical balance and to ensure health care providers have the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to safely perform their jobs, Jump Technologiesannounced today it will temporarily open its inventory management platform to all hospitals at no cost to help facilities ensure they have the proper PPE and related COVID-19 supplies available for hospital workers.
"At times like this, it's vitally important for hospitals to have the supplies their employees need to stay safe. To do this, they need a clear picture of PPE inventory so they understand the resources available to them and whether they are at risk of running out of essential supplies before their next shipment," said John Freund, CEO of Jump Technologies. "Because we understand the challenges this pandemic creates for hospital supply chain, we are waiving our fees to ensure as many hospitals as possible have access to tools that will give them insight into high-demand supplies that are essential to their employees."
According to Freund, the Jump Technologies solution runs in the cloud and does not require any special hardware, so it can be set up quickly and with no disruption to hospital operations. Supply chain staff can be up to speed on using the system with just a 30-minute training session. Key elements of the reporting tool include: 

Using JumpStock, hospitals can easily see where existing supplies are located (in hospital storage or in a warehouse); track consumption by department, clinic, or user; and forecast potential stockouts.

The new solution does not require integration into the hospital ERP or EMR and does not require access to sensitive data such as patient information or pricing.

Because it is a cloud-based solution, it is safe, simple, and secure for hospitals.

Hospitals and health systems can access the Jump Technologies solution by filling out a form at http://www.jumptech.com/covid19. A representative from Jump Technologies will contact the hospital to discuss setup options, configure the account, and upload data.
###
About Jump Technologies 
Jump Technologies creates safe, simple, and cost-effective solutions that help hospitals reduce stockouts, overordering, and waste while increasing inventory turns and improving billing accuracy across a facility or system. The company's JumpStock solution facilitates data-driven decision making that allows hospitals to save time, free up cash, and improve nurse satisfaction with supply chain.

Oncoheroes, an AIM-HI Accelerator Fund portfolio company focused on pediatric cancer therapeutics, has garnered new recognition and additional funding, and this follows its in-licensing from Big Pharma in September 2019 of its first drug candidate.

ROCKVILLE, MD & BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
An AIM-HI Accelerator Fund portfolio company exclusively focused on the development of pediatric cancer therapeutics has garnered recognition and additional funding. Oncoheroes Biosciences Inc.won the Squinto-LePera Award at the Lyfebulb-Helsinn Cancer Innovation Summit held in Monaco and secured up to $1.1 million in new investment from Dreamers Startup Ventures.
The international Squinto-LePera Award highlights promising oncology start-ups whose founders are themselves cancer patients, survivors or family members to those with the disease. Oncoheroes' co-founders, CEO Ricardo Garcia and COO Cesare Spadoni, Ph.D., are both fathers touched by cancer. The company was one of the finalists invited to pitch to a judging panel of professionals in the cancer, healthcare and business communities assembled by Lyfebulb, a U.S. chronic disease management platform provider, and Helsinn, a Swiss pharmaceuticals company specializing in products mitigating cancer chemotherapy side effects.
Dreamers Startup Ventures, with offices in the U.S and Spain, is an early stage investor targeting biopharmaceutical and health care companies, as well as those in the artificial intelligence field that are focused on life sciences. It recognizes Oncoheroes' strategy of focusing on pediatric oncology drugs, which offers hope for unmet needs of childhood cancer patients and regulatory advantages of speedier market access and lower development costs relative to therapeutic candidates for more common illnesses.
Oncoheroes was established in 2017 with an initial grant from the National Foundation for Cancer Research and seed investment in 2019 from AIM-HI. The company is led by a highly experienced management, research and regulatory team, with specialties in drug screening, discovery and early stage clinical trials. Its scientific advisory board includes Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Children's Oncology Chair Peter Adamson M.D., Ph.D., Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center Experimental Therapeutics Director Steven Dubois, M.D., and Children's Hospital of Los Angeles Basic and Translational Cancer Research and Blood Disease Section Head Lee Helman, M.D.
The start-up has built an active collaborative platform with international pediatric oncology networks and, in September 2019, in-licensed volasertib from Boehringer Ingelheim. The drug candidate, initially developed as a treatment for leukemia, is an inhibitor of the enzyme PLK1, which is known to be associated with various cancers. Independent academic groups have generated strong data in support of developing the compound for rhabdomyosarcoma and other pediatric cancer indications. Additional assets are being explored to fill out Oncoheroes' pipeline.
"Oncoheroes is proud of receiving the 2020 Squinto-LePera Award and Dreamers Startup Ventures' funding," stated Mr. Garcia. "Like our partnership with and investment from the AIM-HI Accelerator Fund, they validate and build upon our goal of making a difference for pediatric cancer patients and their families."
"I am happy to see the considerable progress made by Oncoheroes so far," said Sujuan Ba, Ph.D., president and CEO of the AIM-HI Accelerator Fund. "Pediatric cancer is a scourge yet not many groups are funding it."
"We must change this fact," Dr. Ba continued. "I am gratified that others, such as Lyfebulb, Helsinn and Dreamers Startup Ventures, are joining AIM-HI in our efforts to make an impact toward saving children's lives."
About the AIM-HI Accelerator Fund
The AIM-HI Accelerator Fund is an independent 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, established with an initial grant from the National Foundation for Cancer Research with the vision to accelerate the translation of cancer drug discoveries by investing in seed-stage companies. It is a new paradigm through venture philanthropy to fund start-up oncology companies that commercialize innovative laboratory breakthroughs which can potentially save cancer patients' lives.

About Oncoheroes Biosciences Inc.
Oncoheroes is a biotech company exclusively focused on the discovery and development of better drugs for children and adolescents with cancer. Its vision is to deliver benefits to young cancer patients and create value in the process. The management team is formed by drug development and industry professionals in the U.S. and Europe.

Leading Nationwide Health Information Network to Reduce Physician Burden and Improve Patient Care with Clean Clinical Data

FARMINGTON, CONN. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Diameter Health, developer of the leading platform for clinical data normalization and enhancement, today announced that KONZA, Inc., a leading nationwide health information network, will now use the company's data refinement technology to deliver deduplicated, consolidated Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs) to physicians, hospitals and other healthcare organizations. By leveraging the functionality of Diameter Health technology, KONZA will help ease physician burden and in turn, improve patient care.
Physicians today are overburdened by the volume and quality of raw clinical data they receive; full documentation often contains both redundant and unnecessary information, compromising clinical interpretation at the point of care. KONZA, a longtime Diameter Health customer, saw an opportunity to transform the provider experience by providing one complete CCD that is deduplicated and normalized by the platform. As a result, physicians participating in KONZA's seven health information exchanges can now easily find the clinical data they need, when they need it, and make informed care decisions more quickly. This increased efficiency improves the patient experience and facilitates better health outcomes.
"Physicians should not have to hunt and peck for relevant patient data in the electronic health record. That wasted time and energy can make all the difference in saving a life, especially when hospitals are at capacity during times of crisis," said Laura McCrary, EdD, President and CEO at KONZA. "Together with our trusted technology partner, Diameter Health, we now put comprehensive summary documents into the hands of physicians so they can focus their full attention on patients instead of sorting through a myriad of documents."
This functionality is now available to selected KONZA participants and will be gradually rolled out across the entire network in the next 60 days. KONZA has already worked extensively with Diameter Health to provide unique services to its participants. For example, the health information network leverages the Diameter Health platform to compute quality measures.

"They've implemented our technology in unique ways for years and we're excited to build on our joint success to make clinical data an asset to, rather than a strain on, the healthcare delivery system."

Clinical trials to develop a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 are now underway. Speed is critical in enrolling volunteer participants so that trials can proceed as quickly as possible. ClinicalConnection.com, a leading website for clinical trial searches and notifications will list COVID-19 clinical trials free-of-charge. Members of the public who register to receive free alerts will be notified about COVID-19 trials enrolling in their community that are listed on the website.

BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
ClinicalConnection.com, a leading website for clinical trial information and notifications, is offering to list all clinical trials for the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) free-of-charge on its searchable clinical trials website and notification engine. Members of ClinicalConnection.com who have indicated an interest in COVID-19 clinical trials will be alerted if they reside near a study site. Each year over three million people visit http://www.clinicalconnection.com to search for clinical trials in their community and more than 650,000 members currently receive clinical trials notifications across numerous diseases and medical conditions.
"Speed is essential in effectively dealing with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Given our ability to rapidly reach hundreds of thousands of people interested in clinical trials participation, we saw a unique opportunity to be part of the solution -- helping researchers hasten patient enrollment in vaccine and other COVID-19 clinical trials," said Greg Conlan, Director of Operations for ClinicalConnection.com. Therefore, effective immediately ClinicalConnection.com will waive the usual listing and outreach fees for pharmaceutical companies, clinical research sites and hospitals who post clinical trials for COVID-19 on ClinicalConnection.com. The company will automatically apply a free listing discount when any COVID-19 study is posted. For additional information, please email: info@clinicalconnection.com or call 1-800-887-0639.

They will be able to specify their interest in Clinical Trial Alerts about COVID-19 as well as study alerts for other diseases and medical conditions. Current members can update their profiles at any time to request notifications about newly listed clinical trials for COVID-19.
Research to develop and test a vaccine to protect against COVID-19 is ramping up quickly. The first clinical trial of a vaccine in Seattle, WA, testing 45 young, healthy volunteers is underway. Other clinical trial approaches may be available in the future. Associated Press (AP) reports that some researchers are hoping to quickly develop vaccines that provide temporary protection while a longer-lasting option is developed. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) says even if initial tests go well, it could take up to 18 months before a vaccine offering longer protection is available for widespread use.
Clinical study enrollment is one of the highest barriers to timely completion of clinical trials -- which can ultimately impact time-to-market for new pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Clinical Connection, Inc. provides a patient recruiting clinical trials platform designed to help the clinical trials industry meet enrollment goals for clinical research studies. Clients include pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, contract research organizations (CROs) academic and independent clinical research centers, hospitals and physician practices engaged in clinical research. ClinicalConnection.com has listed over 40,000 clinical trials in the US and worldwide and has referred over one million participants to clinical research studies.

Pandemic expected to be particularly difficult for the elderly and socially isolated.

MONTREAL (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
MADA, a non-profit community center with a mission to care for people in need by providing basic necessities, today announced its COVID-19 emergency plan.

Have been outside Quebec in the last 14 days

Are showing cold-like symptoms

Children under 18 and seniors over 70 years of age are asked to avoid MADA until further notice.

Clients, volunteers and employees will wear gloves and masks, and adhere to a strict social distancing policy.

The Cafeteria remains open. All meals will be served in individually-wrapped containers for "take-out" only. Access to the building will be restricted. Meals will be distributed in a temporary tent in MADA's parking lot.

The Food Bank also remains open, but groceries will be distributed in pre-packed bags.

We are committed to distributing food to as many people as possible. However, to reduce the risk of infection, all food will be for "take-out" only. While the reduction of personal human contact between clients and volunteers is a big loss for all concerned, it is necessary to protect public health.

Mindful Urgent Care, a leading mental health clinic that offers same-day psychiatric and mental health services, including medication management, in the Greater New York Area, has implemented swift proactive measures to support existing and new patients in response to the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
Mindful Urgent Care, a leading mental health clinic that offers same-day psychiatric and mental health services, including medication management, in the Greater New York Area, has implemented swift proactive measures to support existing and new patients in response to the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the disease it causes, named "coronavirus disease 2019" (COVID-19). Effective as of Monday, March 16, 2020, Mindful Urgent Care has increased providers and clinicians, extended business hours, and introduced telehealth video conferencing appointments to help ensure the wellness and safety of residents in the New York Metro area.
Mindful Urgent Care Medical Director Dr. Ram Pardeshi says, "Our highest priority is protecting the health and safety of our employees, patients, and community. While adhering strictly to guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control, we are working diligently to provide extended services to New York City in this time of need. I am extremely proud of the unity our staff has displayed and the speed at which we have implemented new program availability and hours."
That Mindful Urgent Care is offering extended services in response to the novel coronavirus outbreak is a credit to the mental health clinics' commitment to patients. Already, there are increased reports of adjustment disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, a common fallout of a global crisis. Maintaining excellence in psychiatric and mental health services is a critical component of enduring short- and long-term changes in daily life, which is why Mindful immediately introduced extended hours and online appointments.
The Greater New York mental health clinic has a history of setting high standards. In 2019, Mindful Urgent Care treated over 2,600 patients and successfully prevented more than 1,000 suicides and psychiatric hospitalizations with cutting-edge mental health and medication management services. To further support the growing need of New Yorkers during the coronavirus outbreak, and beyond, they are opening a fourth location in Grand Central Station at the end of March 2020.
Existing and new patients are encouraged to schedule appointments online by visiting Mindful Urgent Care's virtual health center. Services include treatment for a variety of anxiety and panic disorders, depression, bipolar disorder and anger management, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and eating disorders. Note that Mindful Urgent Care is a mental health psychiatry and medication management provider – not a medical urgent care provider.

Pulse Light Clinic's EmSculpt Treatment is the celeberity procedure that builds muscle by up to 16% in a tailored, safe, effective and non-surgical way.

LONDON (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
Pulse Light Clinic, leading specialists in laser and IPL skin treatments since 1991, are offering a special winter deal on EmSculpting – the innovative, non-surgical muscle building treatment that utilises contractions. A member of Pulse Light Clinic's expert team of technicians will create a customised treatment plan that's tailored to each client's body and individual goals, to strengthens muscles and burn fat on the abdomen, buttocks, and underneath the buttocks.
Certain diets and fat reduction methods can often leave people stuck between 'Before' and 'After' versions of themselves, without actually achieving any worthwhile, long-term results. With EmSculpt technology, however, creates a unique electromagnetic field that penetrates the skin to impact muscle tissue as well as belly fat. The energy induces almost 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions per session, something that can't be achieved at the gym. All this happens while you are lying on a bed during treatment. EmSculpt uses this revolutionary discovery in a safe, effective and non-surgical treatment.
A great alternative to liposuction, EmSculpts non-surgical approach means no downtime or time off work is needed. The treatment does not require any anaesthetic or any post-treatment/weekly massages like liposuction. There is also no risk of infection as it is a non-invasive procedure. Unlike other fat freezing/laser fat removal techniques, there 
is no need for diet and exercise because the fat cell walls are permanently destroyed.
Pulse Light Clinic offers a free consultation with a senior technician who assesses the areas a patient is hoping to treat. A patient's eligibility for treatment will also be evaluated by measuring the areas of concern. The senior technician will then go over the recommended treatment plan required to get the desired results on a chosen body area, by taking account of the patient's preferences for treatment, to tailor this to a free treatment plan.
At Pulse Light Clinic, treatment is offered on the same day as the consultation, so there's no need to be put on a waiting list. EmSculpt is offered from £750 per treatment and clients can avail of a special winter deal for a course of 4 treatments. Pulse Light Clinic in London has EmSculpt and CoolSculpting machines, enabling the team to create tailored and personalised treatment plans for all clients. To redeem this offer, a booking for a free consultation at Bank Clinic is required.

Coronavirus or COVID-19 is creating all kinds of havoc in our lives and in business. Here at The Crouch Group, we have some recommendations for how to manage during this crisis and hopefully emerge stronger after the crisis has passed.

DENTON, TEXAS (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
5 Things To Do Now in the Midst of Coronavirus Limitations
Coronavirus or COVID-19 is creating all kinds of havoc in our lives and in business. Here at The Crouch Group, we have some recommendations for how to manage during this crisis and hopefully emerge stronger after the crisis has passed.
1. Zoom 
We are great fans of Zoom. There are opportunities to conduct client meetings, webinars and even collaborative meetings by Zoom. Some of our California clients are offering the Divorce Options class by Zoom. Zoom is an easy platform to work with, very affordable ($15.00 per month) and allows you to share documents, videos or PowerPoint presentations as part of the Zoom meeting.
2. Website 
This is a great time to work on your website. Perhaps it is time to build a new site or rework your current site. We can advise you about whether you should build a new site or just make some updates to freshen the look of the site. We will review your site at no charge and provide you with a report that you can give to your website folks that can help the site perform better. Or if you would like for us to help you, we would be glad to do so.
3. Website Copy 
Website copy is often a "Roundtuit" item or something that you want to work on when you can get around to it. This is a great time to re-write the copy on site. Fresh copy always helps the performance of the site. We can also assist in re-writes to strengthen the keyword structures on each page thus helping the search engines to rank your site higher.
4. Blogs 
Anyone who knows me knows that my mantra is blog, blog, blog. This is the most affordable thing that you can do to boost your website. A consistent blogging plan bring the search engine through the site more often. Blogs often become the primary entry point to your website. If things are slow, write a blog or 2 or 3. If you need topics let me know. I have created a calendar of topic themes that could help to fill your calendar for rest of 2020. Write them all now and your post-corona virus marketing plan gets a head start.
5. Market Needs Analysis 
Take some time to review your current marketing plan. The Crouch Group offers a market needs analysis that can provide you with recommendations for a post -coronavirus marketing plan.

In light of the challenges that COVID-19 presents to our society, Mila is bringing its machine learning expertise to the scientific community together with its partners across different disciplines to help find potential solutions.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
The primary objective of the Mila AI taskforce is to bring together an interdisciplinary team of researchers in machine learning, bioinformatics, immunology, virology and vaccine design to create open source, data-driven tools that could be deployed in current and future outbreaks.
"The COVID-19 crisis gives us an opportunity and a profound motivation to act selflessly and together for the common good, collaborating with the only objective to quickly save as many lives as possible," says Yoshua Bengio, scientific director of Mila. "Let us remember that spirit when, hopefully, we go back to more normal lives. That spirit is also the spirit of science, where the focus is on the joy of understanding, sharing and discovering solutions together."
Many researchers and partners in our network are interested in participating in projects to fight COVID-19. In an effort to coordinate, they have identified at least 5 primary research axes against which they are already progressing:
Omic profiling of COVID-19 progression mechanisms 
Guy Wolf and Irina Rish (Université de Montréal), professors at Mila, are leading this project which leverages data analysis tools to provide mechanistic understanding of the COVID-19 disease progression in order to assess risk of given medical/patient profiles, as well as to help identify binding targets for antiviral agents and potential vaccines. The researchers are looking for proteomic and transcriptomic data together with meta information that will enable them to disentangle the impact of age, gender, and other biomedical factors on the interaction and severity of the COVID-19 disease. One example of an active research question is to understand the apparent resilience of young children to severe infection, which is somewhat atypical for such epidemics.
Data-efficient deep learning to better model emerging biology 
Led by Sébastien Giguère from InVivo AI. The COVID-19 outbreak offers a solemn reminder of how little we know about emerging biology. Novel algorithms are needed for these types of data poor environments. Launched in 2018, InVivo AI is developing novel algorithms capable of learning from small and noisy datasets. In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the startup is leveraging their platform to learn models of pathways in the immune system to better predict immune response. The team is working on modeling proteasomal cleavage, TAP transport, antigen binding to MHC, antigen processing to the cell surface and recognition of MHC-antigen complexes by T-Cells and B-cells, with the goal of providing insight into immunogenic regions of the virus.
Machine learning for therapeutics discovery 
The teams of Yoshua Bengio (UdeM), Jian Tang(HEC Montréal), graduate student Maksym Korablyov (UdeM), and the Mila startup InVivo AI, has developed a deep reinforcement learning system which can quickly evaluate billions of candidate molecules. The approach can gradually modify the molecular structure by adding or removing building blocks in order to converge toward new molecular structures that can bind a target protein. The Mila team is looking for collaborators with expertise in deep reinforcement learning and in drug discovery to help with their research.
Mapping the Landscape of AI + COVID-19 
Sasha Luccioni (UdeM), postdoctoral researcher at Mila and her team are working with researchers from UN Global Pulse to map the landscape of current and proposed research papers that use AI to counter the COVID-19 pandemic. The article, which will be published on March 23rd, covers the many facets of the crisis, including molecular modeling, epidemiology and diagnosis, in order to pinpoint the most impactful ways in which AI can be used and the approaches that are being explored.
Data Mining of COVID-19 Related Tweets 
Led by Reihaneh Rabbany(McGill), professor at Mila, this research project aims to analyse mentions of COVID-19 in Twitter, in order to discover temporal and spatial trends as well as common mentions and keywords linked to the phenomena surrounding the global pandemic.
"This is an exceptional situation that requires exceptional means, and AI can contribute greatly to many of the efforts deployed to mitigate this crisis," said Valérie Pisano, President and CEO of Mila. Mila's resources will be made available to support this effort led by researchers, start-ups and organisations here in Québec and around the world."
Among Mila's partners contributing to this effort, Element AI is sharing access to its computing resources (GPUs, CPUs, Storage) to facilitate and accelerate ongoing research and investigations by Mila and InVivo AI.
Even though several researchers have already demonstrated their interest and have begun to get involved in the projects, we are seeking additional collaborators from all areas of computer science and health sciences to strengthen these projects. To join the effort, you are encouraged to reachout at covid19research@mila.quebec.
Researchers who are working on a project involving COVID-19 and who would like support from the AI community are also encouraged to contact the same email address.

For Ed Delia, President of Delia Associates, a New Jersey-based business branding and marketing firm, the loss of life from COVID-19 hits close to home.

WHITEHOUSE, N.J. (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
My heart goes out to those across our nation and around the world who have directly suffered loss from COVID-19. Having also lost a loved one recently through similar circumstances - underlying conditions compounded by a virus – I truly empathize.
Over the last few days, I have felt a gamut of negative emotions just like many have: fear, anxiety, uncertainty. In contrast, I would like to acknowledge that today is the first day of Spring, a season symbolizing rebirth, renewal, growth, and most important: hope.
In this moment, I am not thinking like an American, but as a human. This virus does not discriminate; it affects all humans in some way, here in America and globally. And we all must play a role in conquering COVID-19 now, and in the future.
Here at Delia Associates, as a branding firm, we offer up this complementary emblem as a symbol of hope for all on this first day of Spring. Let this mark represent our global solidarity and conviction to do whatever is necessary, as individuals, businesses, communities, and nations, to arrest this disease.
Feel free to download and display this emblem (https://www.delianet.com/united-together-against-covid-19/) as a pledge to support all measures that will help lead to the containment and ultimate suppression of COVID-19. We owe it to those who we have already lost. We owe it to those who are sick or out of work. We owe it to our health care professionals at the front lines. We owe it to each other. Let this mark and this moment remind us that we are all connected and, standing together, we will turn the tide and prevail.
Join me in observance of our united resolve on this first day of Spring. Join me in hope.

RV Trailblazer Gigi Stetler's non-profit RVACA is offering free RVs to healthcare workers so they have access to a quarantine-friendly and clean environment while fighting on the frontlines against coronavirus.

DAVIE, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
Gigi Stetler, CEO of RV Sales of Broward and founder of the non-profit RV Advisor Consumer Association (RVACA), will begin providing RVs to healthcare workers and other public service workers who need a safe space to quarantine or in other cases, a place to avoid risking infection.
Through RVACA's coronavirus assistance funds, Stetler will be offering free RVs nationwide so healthcare workers and other public servants can continue their work on the frontlines without worrying about the cost of additional housing.
"If we protect the people who protect us, we can beat this thing," said Stetler.
After receiving numerous calls from health care providers and hearing about the case of a paramedic exposed to coronavirus who returned home and exposed his family, Stetler realized that RVs could be a part of the solution in this global health crisis as they have been for other catastrophes. In the past, Stetler donated RVs for temporary housing in the Bahamas in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane and in California after families lost their homes in the wild fires.
Now Stetler plans to do whatever she can to help in this global pandemic. Health care workers or public servants who would like to apply for a temporary RV can apply here. RVs will be available for 14-day and 30-day options. The RVs will have a ten-day break between rentals to ensure that the RVs can be properly and thoroughly disinfected.
"We have to keep our health care providers safe and healthy," said Stetler. If we lose our doctors, nurses and paramedics, we are done. This is a very scary time. If we don't get this contained and get businesses back open again, we are in trouble. We must all work together to get on the other side of this."
To donate to RVACA's Coronavirus Assistance fund, please visit here.
Gigi Stetler is available for interviews.
About Gigi Stetler
Gigi Stetler is CEO of RV Sales of Broward, the first and only woman-owned RV dealership in the country. Stetler is one of only a handful of top RV experts in the country and has 30 years of experience in an industry that has been traditionally dominated by men. Stetler also launched RV Advisor, an online resource designed to effectively connect millions of RV owners, dealers, and service centers through an innovative mobile-friendly platform.

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

PLEASANTON, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Craig Smith, M.D., DuPage Medical Group in Chicago, IL, has been designated as a UroLift Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Smith 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 proud to name Dr. Craig Smith as a UroLift Center of Excellence and provider of care for men with enlarged prostate symptoms using the UroLift System treatment," said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. "The UroLift System is a safe and effective treatment that allows physicians to treat men in-office under local anesthesia, so they can experience lasting symptom relief within days after receiving treatment."
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.

Revolutionary pig health management and telehealth company EveryPig is urging swine veterinarians and pork producers to take advantage of telemedicine to reduce health risks amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Committed to both human and animal health, EveryPig continues to offer complimentary demos of its web-based platform that enables veterinarians and pork production teams to identify and respond to pig health issues remotely in real-time.

MIAMI (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
The swine industry's top telehealth platform, EveryPig, today highlighted the importance of telemedicine in minimizing exposure to and the inadvertent transmission of contagious diseases, such as COVID-19 and African swine fever. The company urged swine veterinarians and pork producers to request a complimentary demo to learn more about its telehealth software that enables teams to work remotely and with added efficiency.
"EveryPig is honored to help pork producers and vets collaborate and be productive in this challenging time where many teams are being forced to work remotely," said EveryPig Founder Chris Bomgaars. "We have already onboarded companies raising over 6 million pigs per year since the coronavirus outbreak began, and we'd like to help as many businesses as possible to deal with this difficult situation."
Swine veterinarians using EveryPig are able to collect secure health data from the farm level, collaborate with their caregiving teams, provide veterinary services, and track health outcomes in real time. The web-based platform can be accessed on any internet-connected device, and using an offline mode, and does not require the installation of any additional equipment.
Telehealth capabilities are especially important to veterinarians in the event of a pandemic of highly contagious zoonotic diseases that can spread from animals to humans, such as COVID-19. According to the recent statement by the Minnesota Board of Veterinary Medicine, "providing professional veterinary services to animals via telemedicine within a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) can be medically appropriate and a means to maintain social distancing."
EveryPig's telehealth platform offers several key advantages over in-person on-farm visits, which include: 

Enabling veterinarians to serve dozens of farms simultaneously by telecommuting

Giving pig owners a wider access to quality animal care

Increasing farm biosecurity through faster disease identification and by reducing human traffic between farms

Created specifically for the pork production industry, EveryPig is now being used by more than 1,550 pork producers and veterinarians in the United States, Canada, and Brazil. The app is currently available in seven languages, including English, Portuguese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and French. Production and veterinarian teams across the globe that need to enable their remote-work capabilities can request a complimentary demo of EveryPig's platform at EveryPig.com.
