Palette Life Sciences Launches MySolesta.com, a New Online Resource for Bowel Incontinence to Support Healthcare Professionals, Caregivers and Patients


News Image

We are confident that MySolesta.com will greatly help patients affected by bowel incontinence, as well as caregivers and the healthcare professionals treating this condition by providing them with valuable information and connecting patients and HCPs – Rich Low, Palette Life Sciences

Palette Life Sciences, Inc., today announces the launch of MySolesta.com, an online educational resource specifically designed for healthcare professionals (HCPs), caregivers, and patients suffering from bowel incontinence, also known as fecal incontinence (FI). The site provides valuable information, education and resources focused on the causes, risk factors, symptoms and treatment options for FI, including Solesta® – the quick, nonsurgical treatment for bowel incontinence.(1)

MySolesta.com empowers patients and caregivers by providing them valuable information and connects them with physicians in their area who specialize in treating bowel incontinence. In addition, the site includes information and resources pertaining to reimbursement assistance for treatments.

Bowel incontinence or fecal incontinence affects millions of people worldwide. Research indicates that up to 18% of the general population worldwide suffers from bowel incontinence.(2) However, due to the shame and emotional toll of this condition, many people avoid seeking bowel incontinence treatment so the number of cases is likely higher.(3)

Bowel incontinence can present as anal leakage of loose stool, solid stool or mucus. Such uncontrollable anal discharge, can be upsetting, embarrassing, and may discourage patients to talk with their doctor about their bowel incontinence challenges.

For physicians, the site provides simple and straightforward information on training and certification for administering Solesta; HCPs can simply follow three easy steps at MySolesta.com.

Solesta is the only FDA-approved minimally invasive treatment for bowel incontinence. It is an easily injectable, viscous gel made from two polysaccharides; Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA™) and Dextranomer (Dx) microspheres. The Solesta implant is stable, remains in position, and does not disappear over time.(3,4) Solesta is the only injectable gel to be administered in an outpatient setting without the need for anesthesia.(1) Studies have shown that Solesta can help patients return to a more active lifestyle (socializing, going to work, etc.) and reduce overall depression and embarrassment associated with their bowel control problems.(5)

“For patients looking for a quick, nonsurgical fecal incontinence treatment, Solesta may be an ideal choice,” said Dr. Zuri Murell, Los Angeles based colorectal surgeon and specialist. “My patients who opted for Solesta were pleased with the results. With the launch of the new MySolesta.com website, I hope patients find comfort knowing there is an effective treatment for their condition that can improve their quality of life and that they are not alone.”

“We are confident that MySolesta.com will greatly help patients affected by bowel incontinence, as well as caregivers and the healthcare professionals treating this condition by providing them with valuable information and connecting patients and HCPs,” said Richard Low, Head of Marketing, Palette Life Sciences.

Reputation Risk Management and Insurance Firm Steel City Re Expands Capabilities With Addition of Australian and Swiss Company Data


“Rapidly evolving environmental, social, and governance expectations have materially increased companies’ risk of serious consequences when stakeholders feel disappointed and angry.”

Steel City Re, an innovator in corporate reputation risk management and insurances, has added Australian and Swiss firms to its actuarial database. The 341 Australian firms and 162 Swiss firms boost the weekly global reputation risk surveillance to approximately 7,800 entities. The expanded database will not only enable Steel City Re to underwrite and insure companies in the new markets, but to enhance its capabilities across its portfolio.

“Rapidly evolving environmental, social, and governance expectations have materially increased companies’ risk of serious consequences when stakeholders feel disappointed and angry,” noted Steel City Re CEO Nir Kossovsky. “Our solutions help firms and their leadership avoid that scenario through assessment, underwriting and support for enterprise-wide reputation risk management activities – functions that are becoming increasingly challenging as companies need to satisfy diverse and expanding groups of stakeholders.

Steel City Re released last week a study (https://steelcityre.com/2020/01/29/white-paper-equity-impact/) showing how the severe impacts to stock price can be diminished – during and after a reputational crisis – through strategic preemptive steps that can be taken by governance, finance and risk management executives. Among the relevant findings were that the greater the percentage of intangible assets on companies’ balance sheets, the steeper the declines in stock price when crises occur.

The new Australian firms have an average market capitalization of 4,400 of which 73% is intangible. The new Swiss firms have an average market capitalization of 18,000 of which 62% is intangible.

Steel City Re employs principles of informational and behavioral economics to provide reputation risk management and insurance solutions. It pioneered the field of parametric reputation insurances using synthetic measures of reputational value. Steel City Re is an overseas advisor to the Lloyd’s of London syndicate, Tokio Marine Kiln.

“Our five-year anniversary and steady growth trajectory are incredible validation of our collaborative approach to leveraging data to create valuable strategies that deliver ROI and empower clients to make more informed decisions,” said John Loury, Co-Founder and President of CE Strategy.

CAUSE + EFFECT Strategy https://causeandeffectstrategy.com/, a business intelligence firm, marked its fifth year in business and announced continued double-digit growth for the third consecutive year, demonstrating the success of its unique capabilities and approach to helping companies optimize through digital innovation. The company, named by AdWeek as one of the 100 fastest growing agencies in the world, has reached impressive milestones since its inception, including expanding capabilities to focus on business intelligence, securing top talent, adding new analytic capabilities, and building an impressive client roster that includes companies across multiple data-rich industries.

Helping Organizations Drive Efficiencies and Adapt to Evolving Processes

  • Achieved three consecutive years of double digit year-over-year growth

CE Strategy plans to continue strengthening relationships with its current clients that span multiple industry verticals, including advertising, B2B, financial services, fundraising, higher education, politics, and retail industries. It hopes to attract new clients by continually demonstrating the enormous value of its distinct approach to providing data insight and business strategy to drive a company’s retention and growth. CE Strategy also plans to add staff in the coming year so that it may continue to innovate and support its growing client base.

The T2 Iso-Trainer Launches on Kickstarter Introducing a One-of-a-Kind, Compact and Portable Fitness Device


News Image

I worked with Dr. Anthony Abbott, … the exercise physiologist who developed NASA’s ‘Man in Outer Space’ to help create the ultimate workout device. Dr. Abbott told me this device is a far superior improvement over what they developed for NASA and the most effective product on the market.

The T2 Iso-Trainer, a portable and uncompromising fitness device, launched on Kickstarter today. The new workout tool provides the most comprehensive and dynamic workout experience that saves time by working users harder and faster than any other device available, no matter when they opt to workout or where they happen to be. The T2 Iso-Trainer combines over ten training methods – Isokinetic, Isometric, Iso-Elastic, Suspension, Plyometric, Bungee, Aerobic, Flexibility, Functional and HIIT– into one system so the user can move freely from one exercise to the next without ever letting go of the handles, or changing bands or plates.

“The T2 Iso-Trainer was inspired by friction devices created for astronauts. I worked with Dr. Anthony Abbott, founder of the Fitness Institute International, and the exercise physiologist who developed NASA’s ‘Man in Outer Space’ to help create the ultimate workout device,” said Steve Kushner, Inventor of the T2 Iso-Trainer. “Dr. Abbott told me this device is a far superior improvement over what they developed for NASA and the most effective product on the market.”

At the heart of the T2 Iso-trainer is the patented die-cast metal Force Lock Resistance Housing. Unlike a pulley, the T2 Housing has no moving parts. It brilliantly multiplies the resistive effort and pits muscle group against muscle group, which the team refers to as “Body Fight.”

Combined with a custom T2 Power Bungee, the T2 Iso-Trainer becomes the T2 Iso-Trainer Pro. This expanded system generates a powerhouse workout that will train harder and faster than anything anyone has experienced before. The patented Iso-Elastic exercises merge Isokinetic and elastic band training while automatically and intuitively engaging the “Body Fight” system of training. Quick connect carabiners allow users to instantly take the Power Bungee in and out of play with a single click.

The foundation of the T2 Iso-Trainer is the science of Isokinetic and Iso-Elastic movement, which is proven to duplicate the results of most forms of weight training. Unlike free weights and cable machines that have degrees of resistance like a bell curve, the T2 Iso-Trainer makes muscles experience a constant level of resistance throughout the entire range of motion. The result is greater muscular activation, faster muscle fatigue and dramatically shorter workout times.

Users can discover the synergy and speed of on-the-fly intensity and exercise changes with no plates, bands or pins to change. The T2-Iso Trainer allows easy movement from one training method and exercise to the next and instantly accommodates to the ability and fitness level of the user. Whether someone is a professional athlete or just starting to exercise, the T2 Iso-Trainer is ideal for any level of training. Users can instantly adjust the resistance by slowing down or speeding up the movement while the T2 Housing does the rest.

For those on the go, the adjustable anchor strap attaches to any secure anchor point and includes a specially designed hinge-side-only door jamb anchor for high, middle and low-level attachments. This allows users the ability to workout with their T2 Iso-Trainer wherever they are. If no external anchor point is available, the T2 Iso-Trainer allows them to become the anchor. The T2 Iso-Trainer also comes with a convenient and durable drawstring backpack with extra space for water bottles, towels and whatever else is needed during a workout.

Whether working out at home, at the gym or while traveling, the T2 Iso-Trainer is built for on-the-go use. The T2-Iso Trainer is available now at a discounted rate for a limited time only. To place a pre-order, visit pr.go2.fund/t2iso.

About T2 Fit Inc.

The T2 Fit Inc. team has been working hard on the T2 Iso-Trainer for several years now and is excited to bring this revolutionary, first-of-its-kind fitness device to people everywhere. The team firmly and passionately believes that the T2 Iso-Trainer will help people exercise like never before and lead healthier lives in a complete and uncompromising way. The T2 Iso-Trainer works faster and more effectively than any other device on the planet – whenever a user wants to workout and wherever they may be.
