“The Fertility Doctors Guide to Overcoming Infertility” Discovering your Reproductive Potential and Maximizing Your Odds of Having a Baby”

Children, are also the hope of every couple or individual seeking to reproduce and also the prayers from those affected with infertility.


ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB)

The World Health Organization has declared infertility a global public health issue; according to WHO, over 10% of women in a stable relationship of five years or longer, worldwide, have tried unsuccessfully to conceive a baby and carry it to term.1 “Infertility is a global problem, affecting both men and women of all races, countries, and sexual orientations. It is also, however, intensely personal to those who are struggling with it,” says Dr. Mark P. Trolice, M.D., FACOG, FACS, FACE, Director of Fertility CARE: The IVF Center, and Professor, University of Central Florida College of Medicine. “Infertility is devastating, and the process of diagnosis and treatment can be both frustrating and extremely confusing.”

In addition to being a nationally recognized expert in his field, Dr. Trolice is a former infertility patient with five adopted children. Based on his professional and personal experience, he has created a guidebook to help infertility patients and their families understand their options and navigate the complexities of their particular situation. Written in clear and understandable language for the layperson, The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility: Discovering Your Reproductive Potential and Maximizing Your Odds of Having a Baby will be published January 7th 2020 by Harvard Common Press/Quarto.

In mapping out an infertility patient’s journey, The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility explains the most optimal time of life to conceive, the right time to see a fertility specialist, evidence-based diagnostic tests and treatment, and alternative family building: egg/sperm donors, surrogacy, and adoption. Dr. Trolice also deals candidly with the potential conflict of physicians’ interests due to high priced technologic treatments and recommends patients be their own advocates while proceeding with caution.

A major factor in declining fertility rates, both in the U.S. and worldwide, is the fact that more women are delaying having children compared with those women from a generation or two ago. Peak fertility occurs before age 30, and then begins to decline: by half at age 35, and half again at 40. This does not, however, mean that childbearing by older women is out of the question. In The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility, Dr. Trolice relates the experience of one of his patients who became, at 46, the oldest woman in the U.S. (at the time) to deliver a baby using her own eggs through IVF.

“Children,” says Dr. Trolice, “are also the hope of every couple or individual seeking to reproduce and also the prayers from those affected with infertility. Both as a doctor and as one who has personally struggled with infertility, I understand that while treatment encourages that hope, it causes anxiety and uncertainty as well. That is why I have made it my mission in The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility—as well as in my practice and my entire professional life—to optimize the experience and maximize the success of every patient challenged to build a family.”

“The Fertility Doctors Guide to Overcoming Infertility” Discovering your Reproductive Potential and Maximizing Your Odds of Having a Baby” is a non-fiction infertility book written by Mark P. Trolice, MD, FACOG, FACS, FACE; Director, Fertility CARE: The IVF Center Professor, UCF College of Medicine. This book is to be used as a companion guide through every step of an individual’s infertility journey—a guide that explains the most optimal time to conceive, advises the right time for an evaluation by a fertility specialist, recommends evidence-based diagnostic testing and treatment including IVF, and discusses alternative family building such as egg/sperm donation, surrogacy, and adoption.

LumaCare Formed and it Unveils the LumaCare Duo, a Breakthrough Therapeutic “Cold Laser” Device for Healthcare Professionals & Mature and/or Active Lifestyle Adults

Leave a comment


“The reality is that over the past five decades thousands of peer-reviewed articles, studies and reports have been published about the efficacy of Cold Lasers as part of certain treatment regimens,” said Kevin Waller, COO and co-founder of LumaCare.


SALT LAKE CITY and LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)

After 32 years in Stealth Mode, LumaCare™ emerged today to announce its formation and unveil its first product: The LumaCare Duo™.

The first public demonstrations of the LumaCare Duo will be given in the LumaCare booth (#44868) in the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada during CES 2020, the largest consumer electronics trade show and conference in the United States. Additionally, LumaCare will preview the LumaCare Duo from 7—10:30pm tonight to credentialed journalists, analysts, and influencers during the PEPCOM Digital Experience! press event at the Mirage Hotel Events Center on the Las Vegas Strip.

The LumaCare Duo is a handheld, wireless, and rechargeable “Cold Laser” device that features two rotating emitter heads, one each at opposite ends of jointed arms, to offer nearly 180 degrees of motion for delivering three different pulsating spectrums of therapeutic light to injured body parts. Each emitter head has a peak combined power output of 60 Watts from the 15 laser diodes and LEDs, specifically:


  • Four Infrared laser diodes at 905nm (nanometer wavelengths),

  • Six Infrared laser diodes at 808nm, and

  • Five visible Red LEDs at 670nm, for a total of 30 laser diodes/LEDs per LumaCare Duo system.

Because the patent pending LumaCare Duo features two articulating emitter heads affixed to the ends of two movable arms, users can manipulate the device to direct therapeutic laser light at injured tissue from two directions at the same time. Additionally, having two emitter heads also allows LumaCare Duo users to focus more Infrared and visible Red light over a wider area if needed. Users may also choose to implement only one emitter head if that is what the treatment protocol requires.

BACKGROUND INFO ON LUMACARE AND “COLD LASER” THERAPIES

LumaCare is the brainchild of National Laser Company, a 32-year-old company focused on the industrial, commercial and medical laser marketplace, a firm that has primarily worked behind the scenes as a private label and/or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and service provider to other laser companies.

Given this foundation of over 30 years of laser industry experience and expertise, the executive team at LumaCare is very familiar with the role of Cold Lasers / Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) as a treatment protocol for a wide variety of chronic and traumatic injuries.

“The reality is that over the past five decades thousands of peer-reviewed articles, studies and reports have been published about the efficacy of Cold Lasers as part of certain treatment regimens,” said Kevin Waller, COO and co-founder of LumaCare. “In fact, the very first inkling of the potential therapeutic benefits of LLLT came in 1967 when Endre Mester discovered that treatments of Cold Laser light regrew hair on mice.

“Studies in the ensuing 50-plus years have shown particular benefit from three wavelength bandwidths: from 650—675nm for surface/skin-level treatments, from 800—825nm for medium depth treatments, and from 900—925nm for deeper tissue/joint treatments. Since Dr. Mester’s finding, hundreds of thousands of Cold Laser systems have been used to improve blood flow, boost oxygenation, reduce inflammation and pain, and enhance cellular recovery for traumatic and chronic injuries.”

MORE LUMACARE DUO DETAILS, PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

The LumaCare Duo weighs 10.75 ounces, measures 4.75- x 5.63- x 2.75-inches (height x width x depth) when folded/closed and 3.25- x 11.50- x 2.75-in. when fully open, while the emitter heads measure 2.1- x 2.7- x 0.6-in. The range of motion of the LumaCare Duo is ~90 degrees per arm and ~135° per emitter head, with a total range of motion of ~180° when the device is fully open.

The LumaCare Duo is classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a Class 1 laser and is expected to have a suggested retail price of under $3,000.00 (US). However, the LumaCare Duo is currently in the latter stages of review by the FDA, with 510K Clearance anticipated by LumaCare in early 2020.

As a result, the LumaCare Duo is not available for purchase or resale at this time.

Nevertheless, fully functioning LumaCare Duo units are available now for evaluation purposes by healthcare professionals, credentialed journalists, and other qualified individuals and organizations.

Younger Consumers Ready for C-Store Cannabis and Automation

Convenience Store Industry Report Market Research

TrendSource’s 2019 Convenience Store Industry Report

TrendSource’s VP of Business Development Sarah Rowlett noted, “As convenience stores enter the next decade market research will become increasingly important to ensure new initiatives are properly implemented in order to stay ahead in a very competitive landscape.”


SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

Convenience stores are in a transitional moment and must focus on younger consumers when considering the most important issues of the day. Indeed, according to TrendSource’s end-of-year 2019 Convenience Store Industry Report, two of the biggest trends shaping Convenience Stores’ current and future landscape–in-store cannabis sales and frictionless checkout technology–will both pivot around generational differences as older consumers prove relatively more resistant than younger ones. TrendSource’s VP of Business Development Sarah Rowlett noted, “As convenience stores enter the next decade market research will become increasingly important to ensure new initiatives are properly implemented in order to stay ahead in a very competitive landscape.”

One particularly salient issue facing c-stores relates to cannabis products. Though laws have yet to entirely coalesce, savvy operators should already be preparing for a world in which cannabis-derived products, particularly CBD products, will appear on C-store sales floors. And while it might be tempting to assume that such products may alienate current consumers, our report suggests that even non cannabis users are comfortable shopping in a convenience store with such products.

In fact, the only resistance c-store cannabis products seems to come from the silent generation where opposition to cannabis remains firm, but in every younger generation from boomers all the way to the youngest respondents there is comfort if not enthusiasm. Operators should remember this as this issue becomes more and more pressing in the years to come.

Issues surrounding in-store automation similarly break along generational lines with younger consumers proving far more interested in and comfortable with frictionless checkout and other technological innovations. Older consumers, particularly in the silent generation, expressed concern about automation obviating in-store employees–they are uncomfortable with machines taking jobs away from people. While millennials similarly expressed concern about this potential, the majority proved willing to overlook this so long as automation makes their in-store experience more convenient.

While there may be some resistance to implementing technologies to streamline the checkout process, this resistance will likely prove short-lived. As these technologies become table stakes thanks to Amazon Go, c-store operators should begin considering the most efficient and effective ways to begin going frictionless.

Beyond these trends, the full report offers in-depth explorations of several other pertinent topics including consumer’s desire (or lack thereof) for fresh and prepared foods, their feelings about safety and comfort within c-stores, and the coming challenge of omnichannel grocery delivery. As consumers begin to see rapid grocery store delivery and click & collect operations as direct competitors to convenience stores, what can operators to build out their own omnichannel operations while also developing unique in-store experiences that grocery competitors cannot deliver. Find out the answers to these and many other questions by downloading the full report.

Myant to Unveil a World Where Human Connectedness is Transformed by Textiles at CES 2020

Leave a comment


News Image

Myant is launching a line of apparel under the brand Skiin that features garments which help people stay connected to what matters most: their own health and the wellbeing of the loved ones in their lives.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

Myant Inc., the pioneers in Textile Computing™, will be headed to CES 2020 (January 7-10, 2020 in Las Vegas) to bring to life its vision of a world where textile-based interfaces knitted into everyday objects form a better connection between you and your body, your community, the AI-powered digital sphere, and the physical IoT-enabled environment. The experience at Myant’s booth will challenge visitors to rethink the value that everyday textile objects can deliver across the 24 hours of daily life (at Home, at Work and at Play), transforming the way that health, performance, and care are measured and delivered.

Humans have a fundamental need to feel connected, to their own bodies and to each other, in order to live healthy, meaningful and productive lives. Despite the incredible reach that our modern digital modes of connection have enabled, we are left feeling more disconnected than ever due to the superficial quality that these have. Consider how we can start a video chat with an elderly loved one on the other side of the world, but we cannot tell how she is feeling unless she picks up the call. We can measure and peer into the inner workings of the heart via a Holter monitor, but still have to wait weeks or even months before a healthcare provider can access and interpret that data to provide care. These types of problems are at the core of Myant’s mission to transform human connectedness, combining the richness, intimacy, and immediacy of analog connections with the vast reach enabled by digital connections and the predictive power of artificial intelligence. While digital connectivity and artificial intelligence exist, what is missing to enable this vision is a continuous, ambient interface to the human body.

Myant has been working over the past decade to create the technology, expertise, and infrastructure to realize this new type of connectivity–and now we are ready to share it with the world. At Myant’s booth at CES 2020, you will be immersed into a world connected by textile and powered by the Myant Platform. Textiles hold many advantages that make it ideal for interfacing with the human body: they are pervasive in our everyday lives, provide a near continuous and ambient interaction point with the body, and are used by all members of society regardless of age or ability.

By developing textiles that can sense and react to the human body, and connecting these textiles to an AI-enabled digital platform, Myant is bringing the world to the precipice of a new era of human connectedness, one where technology for connectivity morphs around the human experience, where health, wellness, and performance are continuously and ambiently managed, a life where deep empathy and caring are possible even across vast distances. Textile Computing™, the connection of textiles with the AI-enabled digital sphere, represents a leap forward for the idea of the quantified self, enabling the creation of a personal digital twin that is continuously updated via pervasive textile interfaces and optimized by artificial intelligence, freeing you to refocus on the truly human aspects of the daily experience: caring for the ones you love and becoming the best version of yourself. This concept of a connected future which leverages technology to reprioritize the human being in modern life is representative of the vision endorsed by many leading futurists including the Government of Japan and their initiative known as Society 5.0.

As a concrete manifestation of this idea, Myant is launching a line of apparel under the brand Skiin that features garments which help people stay connected to what matters most: their own health and the wellbeing of the loved ones in their lives. The Skiin connected apparel line features everyday clothing (like underwear, bras, undershirts, polo shirts, baby onesies and more) that are a natural part of daily life yet provide people with an unprecedented level of closeness and connection to their own bodies and to those that they care for. Conceived of as a digitally connected epilayer on top of one’s biological skin, the Skiin apparel line is a window into what’s possible when textiles can do more. In recognition of the transformative nature of this technology, Skiin was honored as a winner in the Health & Wellness category of the CES 2020 Innovation Awards.

Visitors to the Myant booth at CES 2020 will be able to see how Skiin and textile computing technology in general are practically applied to change the way society manages health and optimizes performance across the 24 hours of the daily human experience and across different industries like construction and mining, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, fitness, home and office furnishings, and more. We will be making a series of announcements over the course of the next week to highlight how our demonstrations at CES 2020 will bring these applications to life. Look out for announcements about the following topics:


  • Distributing the burden of heart health management through connected textiles, providing those at risk of CVD with access to electrocardiography from a single lead to 12 leads

  • Connected textiles in the office to bridge the gap between the human operating system and the physical workplace to optimize productivity, performance, and workforce health & wellness

  • A new level of AR/VR immersion through textile-based brain-computer interfaces and full-body interfaces

  • Connected textiles to transform fitness focusing on cycling, enabling new modes of textile-based performance optimization

  • Myant to enable a new era of remote monitoring, digital therapy, rehabilitation and connected care using textiles that sense and react

  • Myant and Helly Hansen to unveil a connected work shoe, highlighting new methods to enhance worker wellbeing and prevent workplace accidents

Sarson Funds’ Second Bold Bitcoin Prediction Predicated on Rising Geo-Political Instability and Increased Regulatory Clarity

Considering the rising tensions in the Middle East and improved regulatory clarity for large investors in the West I want to go on record predicting that Bitcoin will never trade below $7,000 again. – John Sarson


BOSTON (PRWEB)

John Sarson, the Managing Partner of Sarson Funds, went on record with his 2020 Bitcoin prediction in a Tweet over the weekend. According to Sarson, as international political uncertainty casts ominous clouds over an otherwise positive economic narrative, one thing is certain about the state of digital assets – you will not see Bitcoin under $7,000 USD again.

In a memo to investors last Friday, Sarson noted that the combination of improved regulatory clarity at home and political instability abroad are creating a supportive environment for the world’s largest digital asset. “We [now] have so much more clarity into the trajectory of institutional crypto adoption with firms like JP Morgan issuing their own digital currencies and Fidelity offering Bitcoin custody and trading,” Sarson said.

Looking ahead to 2020, one significant sign of encouragement, according to Sarson Funds, is developments on Capitol Hill, particularly the proposed Crypto-Currency Act of 2020, a draft House bill sponsored by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), which Sarson claims has broad support among financial firms looking to keep pace with Asian and European rivals.

Sarson Funds Chief Marketing Officer, Jahon Jamali cites US digital asset leadership as “of vital national strategic interest.”

Jamali cautioned that beyond escalating tensions in the Middle East, it is China’s national blockchain technology initiatives that most directly threaten America’s global financial leadership saying, “Washington needs to step up and lead – the US must not lose the Blockchain Wars.” Comments that gain urgency and validity when considered with respect to Jamali’s background as former US intelligence officer.

This is not the first time Sarson Funds came out with bold New Year guidance for cryptocurrency investors. One year ago, while Bitcoin’s price hovered around $3600, Sarson publicly went on record with a press release stating that the price bottom was in for Bitcoin and that 2019 would herald renewed investor interest and growth for the digital currency.

Fast forward a year, and Bitcoin is up nearly 100%. During that time the Indianapolis and Boston based-firm focused on its core mission: educating Wall Street about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency investment strategies. From a nationwide speaking tour, presenting to investor groups and CFA Societies connecting thousands of financial advisors with transparent cryptocurrency educational resources, Sarson Funds believes increased regulatory advances will yield even further accelerated growth for digital assets in the new decade. Time will tell if Sarson’s predictions hold true again, with Bitcoin’s price trading just 3% above Sarson’s $7000 floor at the time of the announcement we may have our answer fairly quickly.
