Attorney Kevin O’Mahony

It’s also a strong reminder that effective legal representation requires both a thorough understanding of client goals and the dedication to do everything necessary to achieve a positive result.


ATLANTA (PRWEB)

Attorney Kevin O’Mahony, a 37-year member of the Georgia Bar, was recently named to the list of the state’s “Legal Elite” published by Georgia Trend Magazine. This is the 17th year of the magazine’s special edition which recognizes a very small percentage of attorneys practicing in the state. The Legal Elite designation has particular significance inside and outside of the legal community because it is based entirely on the voting of other Georgia attorneys.

O’Mahony’s clients include major healthcare systems, medical practices, physicians and specialists, and other professional organizations involved in high-stakes litigation and business transactions. He also frequently represents clients in proceedings in front of the Georgia Composite Medical Board.

O’Mahony used announcement of the award as an opportunity to talk about what it means to help clients work through issues that will have lasting impacts on their businesses and careers.

“It’s always nice to be recognized for doing high quality work on behalf of clients,” said O’Mahony. “It’s also a strong reminder that effective legal representation requires both a thorough understanding of client goals and the dedication to do everything necessary to achieve a positive result. The best clients deserve those things and the best attorneys deliver them.”

O’Mahony is no stranger to recognition for the results he routinely achieves on behalf of clients. In 2019, he was rated 10.0/10.0 by Avvo, an attorney rating organization that uses a mathematical formula to assess a lawyer’s skill and capabilities. He has also maintained an AV Rating from Martindale-Hubbell since 1997, an honor reserved for a small percentage of the practicing bar that has achieved “preeminent” status in the field.    

About the Law Office of Kevin P. O’Mahony: The Law Office of Kevin P. O’Mahony brings a powerful combination of experience, dedication and personal service to each client’s legal representation. It was founded in 2018 by attorney Kevin O’Mahony after practicing in large and small law firms for over 30 years. The firm represents small, medium and large organizations, as well as individuals who desire an open, honest and close working relationship with their legal counsel.

Spartan Bioscience and Angiocare Partner to Bring the World’s First Rapid Precision Medicine DNA Test to Cardiac Stent Patients in Europe

Leave a comment


DNA

We feel strongly that it will lead to better patient outcomes, lower readmission rates, and lower-cost healthcare for everyone.- Jan Willem Jongma, CEO Angiocare.


OTTAWA, Ontario (PRWEB)

Spartan Bioscience, a world leader in precision medicine diagnostic solutions, and Angiocare, the leading distributor for medical diagnostic and interventional solutions in the Netherlands, have entered into a collaborative partnership to advance adoption of Spartan’s rapid precision medicine DNA test for cardiac stent patients and all other vascular patients who receive antiplatelet medication. Angiocare is part of Uniphar plc, the European Union’s largest integrated healthcare supply and services provider.

Over 30% of the world’s population, and 50% of Asians, carry CYP2C19 mutations. CYP2C19 is a liver enzyme that metabolizes 15% of all prescribed drugs, including antiplatelet drugs. Carrying a CYP2C19 mutation can impair drug metabolism.(1,2,3,4) Plavix® (clopidogrel), prescribed in the majority of ACS/PCI interventions worldwide, has an FDA “black box” drug label warning for poor response for CYP2C19 loss-of-function carriers.(5) For heart attack patients, most complications from poor Plavix® response occur in the first 24-48 hours after cardiac stenting.(6,7) Spartan’s rapid, portable test allows real-time, near patient determination of the patient’s genotype, aiding in determining the appropriate antiplatelet treatment.

The Spartan technology has been used in several landmark clinical studies including, POPular Genetics, a 2,500 patient, 8-year study in Europe published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), and announced at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).(8) In addition, Spartan was used in TAILOR-PCI, a 5,300 patient, 7-year study funded by Mayo Foundation and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). TAILOR-PCI is the largest trial of genetics in cardiology and results are scheduled to be announced at the American Cardiology Association (ACC) conference in March 2020.

“Angiocare has been involved with Interventional cardiology solutions for over 16 years in the Netherlands and we are very excited to partner with Spartan to bring this innovative, non-invasive diagnostic precision medicine tool to our community of world-leading cardiologists,” said Jan Willem Jongma, CEO Angiocare. “We feel strongly that it will lead to better patient outcomes, lower readmission rates, and lower-cost healthcare for everyone.”

Paul Lem, MD. and CEO of Spartan Bioscience, said, “We are looking forward to our partnership with Angiocare. Over the last 16 years, they have established themselves as thought leaders in interventional cardiology solutions. Our collaboration with Angiocare will ultimately benefit anyone in the Netherlands who faces a life-threatening Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) event. Knowing what I know, I would insist on a DNA test before being prescribed an antiplatelet drug.”

About CYP2C19

The CYP2C19 enzyme metabolizes approximately 15 percent of all prescribed drugs, including important drug classes such as antiplatelet therapies, beta blockers, antidepressants, proton pump inhibitors, and anti-epileptics.(9) About 30% of Caucasians, and more than 50% of Asians and East Indians, carry CYP2C19 gene variants that reduce response to drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.(1,2,3,4) These include widely-used drugs such as Plavix®, Inderal®, Celexa®, and Losec®.

About Spartan Bioscience

Spartan Bioscience is the leader in on-demand DNA testing. (10) Spartan is bringing complete sample-to-result DNA testing systems to medicine. Spartan’s technology fully integrates DNA collection, extraction, and analysis, with an intuitive interface that is easy to operate. In the same way that mainframe computers gave way to personal computers, high-throughput DNA testing systems in central labs are giving way to decentralized devices. For the first time, healthcare providers and their patients can get DNA results on demand. For more information, please visit our website at: http://www.spartanbio.com.

GaNFast technology enables 45% lower energy loss than the old, slow silicon chargers in the market today, and for the ultimate in portability, at only 208 g it’s 50% lighter than competition too


EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (PRWEB)

Navitas Semiconductor today announced its partnership with HYPER by Sanho Corporation to introduce the HyperJuice 100W 4-port charger with GaNFast (Gallium Nitride) power IC technology to achieve the world’s smallest and lightest portable form-factor.

Measuring only 85.3 x 60.8 x 28.9 mm (150 cc) the HyperJuice 100W is powerful enough to charge two 15” Macbooks simultaneously (via the 2x USB-C), with flexibility for two more mobile devices via the additional two USB-A ports.

“We wanted to make the smallest, most flexible 100W charger ever, so the circuit board and components are laid out in the most compact and space-efficient manner using only the industry’s most efficient components that can deliver the best performance,” said Daniel Chin, CEO of HYPER by Sanho Corporation, continuing “GaNFast technology enables 45% lower energy loss than the old, slow silicon chargers in the market today, and for the ultimate in portability, at only 208 g it’s 50% lighter than competition too”.

The 100W HyperJuice uses power-sharing technology to deliver optimal charging to a vast array of multiple devices from watches and air-pod chargers, all the way to a single 100W for the new Apple 16” Macbook. Either of the two USB-C outputs can deliver the maximum 100W as specific by the USB Power Delivery (PD) specification, with the two USB-A sockets providing up to 18W each for lower power, quick-charge or legacy systems. Capable of world-wide AC voltage input, the HyperJuice is supplied with innovative ‘snap-fit’ AC adapters (UK, EU/Korea, AU) to support the international explorer and business traveler without additional bulky, heavy converters.

“As shown by the $1.5M Kickstarter backing, confidence in the 100W HyperJuice is extremely high,” said Gene Sheridan, CEO of Navitas, adding “We are very pleased to provide enabling GaNFast power IC technology as a key part of Sanho’s next-generation charger roadmap. Here come the GaN chargers!”.

About Navitas:

Navitas Semiconductor Inc. is the world’s first and only GaN Power IC company, founded in 2014 and based in El Segundo, CA, USA.

We’ve never been more committed to our mission of impacting world health, so it’s gratifying to look back on the many ways we’ve supported that mission this year. – Isagenix Chief Executive Officer Travis Ogden


GILBERT, Ariz. (PRWEB)

It’s been an impactful year for Isagenix International, with milestones ranging from launching exceptional products that help people embrace, achieve, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to giving generously to communities in need around the world.

“We’ve never been more committed to our mission of impacting world health, so it’s gratifying to look back on the many ways we’ve supported that mission this year,” said Isagenix Chief Executive Officer Travis Ogden. “Isagenix also reached $7 billion in cumulative global sales in July, which was a significant achievement for the company. As a team, we’re excited and motivated to carry this momentum into 2020 so we can continue making a difference in people’s lives.”

Products

Isagenix released several new products designed to help people make healthy changes, including BĒA™ Sparkling Energy Drink, a caffeinated beverage that has 10 calories, less than 1 gram of sugar, and raw nutrients and vitamins sourced from fruits and vegetables. BĒA had the best first-day performance of any permanent Isagenix product, with sales 10 times greater than first-day sales for e+™, the company’s popular long-lasting energy shot.

Isagenix is donating 5% of the product’s profits to the ISA Foundation, the company’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide healthy nutrition and support for underserved children, wellness education for all, and aid for those affected by natural disasters.

Additional 2019 product releases included:

  • IsaKids® Super Smoothie: For each bag purchased of this nutritious kids’ snack, Isagenix donates one meal to a child in need through the ISA Foundation. So far, nearly 53,000 meals have been donated, including 7,192 meals from a special “buy one, donate two” promotion during the product’s launch.

  • Collagen Bone Broth: Released just in time for the cooler weather, Collagen Bone Broth nourishes consumers inside and out. Collagen peptides from grass-fed cows support healthy, glowing skin, while vitamin C boosts immune health and enhances collagen production, which declines with age.†

  • IsaPro® Plant-Based Protein: IsaPro offers vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians an alternative to whey-based IsaPro. The complete protein is sourced from high-quality whole-grain brown rice and pea. Supplementing with the high-quality protein found in plant-based IsaPro boosts metabolism, promotes satiety between meals, and supports weight loss goals.

  • AMPED™ Tri-Release Protein and AMPED Repair: Tri-Release Protein and Repair are designed to help customers get better results faster. Tri-Release Protein is an anytime 25-gram three-protein blend that helps develop lean muscle and enhance strength. AMPED Repair is a post-workout drink that helps reduce joint soreness and rebuild muscles to improve recovery.†

Contributions

In keeping with its core value of contribution, Isagenix gave back to communities around the world in 2019. So far this year, Isagenix has contributed more than $3 million in monetary and product donations worldwide. In addition:

  • The ISA Foundation awarded grants totaling over $1.8 million to 51 U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits who serve people in areas including Latin America, the Caribbean, and Kenya. The first round of grants was announced in January, and the second was announced in August. The foundation expects to award a grant to a Canada-based organization later this year.

  • Activities for the company’s largest volunteer initiative, Global Give Back Day, ranged from sprucing up a local youth center to serving meals to families in need. In Arizona, 57 Isagenix customers, employees, and employees’ family members participated in the Arizona Meal Pack for 9/11 Day, helping pack 67,400 meals for food-insecure individuals.

  • In October, the company released the “2018-2019 Isagenix Social Impact Report” detailing how Isagenix makes a positive impact on communities, employees, and the planet. For example, on Earth Day 2018, the company began transitioning IsaLean® Shake and IsaPro canisters to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. Isagenix has a goal to convert all packaging components to be made with recyclable, reusable, compostable, or recycled materials by 2028.

Awards

Isagenix received several company and executive awards in 2019, including two workplace honors: Phoenix Business Journal’s 2019 Healthiest Employers (No. 7 for midsize companies) and Direct Selling News magazine’s 2019 Best Places to Work in Direct Selling.

nView Expands its Leadership Team

Leave a comment


The assessment solutions being used professionally today are simply not working, so we embrace the opportunity to bring better, evidence-based solutions to the market.”


ATLANTA (PRWEB)

nView, a leading behavioral health solutions company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Maurice Rosenbaum to the role of Chief Product Officer. As the company expands its portfolio of software solutions, Rosenbaum will be responsible for incorporating the rapidly changing dynamics of the behavioral health market into nView’s product and company growth strategy. Rosenbaum will report directly to nView CEO Jim Szyperski.

“As we add depth and breadth to our portfolio of behavioral health solutions, Maurice’s deep healthcare expertise and proven record of building and deploying software solutions accelerates our mission to improve the accuracy and speed by which healthcare professionals, educators and research organizations identify and diagnose behavioral health conditions,” said Jim Szyperski, CEO of nView. “Maurice has built and run several businesses, so we are fortunate to have him as a real partner on our senior team. I am delighted to be working with him as we collectively grow our leadership team at nView and make our behavioral health solutions more accessible to professionals and individuals who need assistance. The assessment solutions being used professionally today are simply not working, by virtually any statistical measurement, so we embrace the opportunity to bring better, evidence-based solutions to the market.”

Prior to nView, Rosenbaum founded and ran HealthSystems, a value-added reseller for GE Centricity Practice Solutions, which in 2017 he sold to a company backed by private equity. Under Rosenbaum’s leadership, HealthSystems became recognized for outstanding quality, service, training and support. Before founding HealthSystems, Rosenbaum was Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Support for Sentinel Digital Technologies, a $3.4M consulting organization for physician practices. Early in his career, Rosenbaum developed a software application for Tulane Medical School that enabled physicians to manipulate physical data from a spectrophotometer.

“I’m pleased to join the nView leadership team at a time when the behavioral health market is experiencing explosive growth,” said Maurice Rosenbaum, Chief Product Officer at nView. “Particularly under value-based care payment programs, the patient’s mental health is deemed equally as important as their medical health, which is putting extreme pressure on behavioral health provider community. At nView, we are able to help physicians more accurately and efficiently identify and diagnose individuals who need assistance, thus helping more people get the care they need faster, which is something that personally motivates me.”

Highly respected for his healthcare technology expertise and as an entrepreneur in solutions for the physician practice management and electronic medical record (EMR) industry, Maurice is a frequent speaker on technology, and advocate for healthcare technology innovation. Rosenbaum earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Tulane University in New Orleans, where he also studied biomedical engineering. Active in many community organizations, he is a long-standing member of TAG Health Board of Directors (Technology Alliance of Georgia), Medical Group Manager’s Association (MGMA), and the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS). He is also a strong supporter of the arts, evident in his years of Board of Director experience with Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre.

About Nview Health

nView offers behavioral health technology that enables healthcare professionals to rapidly deliver the right diagnosis, resulting in the right treatment at the right time. Its signature product, the M.I.N.I., enables providers to deliver validated diagnostic behavioral health screens, interviews, outcome tracking, and billable services to patients in a simple easy-to-use platform.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

BuzzFeed’s hit series “Worth It” is partnering with the Taiwan Tourism Bureau for a three-episode special, “Worth It Goes To Taiwan,” which debuted Sunday, October 13 at 8:00 am PT on the BuzzFeed YouTube channel.

Through the partnership, “Worth It” hosts Steven Lim and Andrew Ilnyckyj and cameraman Adam Bianchi will travel through Taiwan, celebrating Taiwanese culture and visiting restaurants in Taipei, Tainan and Taichung. The trio embarks on the ultimate Taiwanese food adventure, trying delicious foods at their famous three different price points: affordable, middle tier, and luxury. At the end of the episode, the group decides which item is the most “worth it” at its given price. BuzzFeed’s “Worth It” has received 1.2 billion lifetime video views to date.

Taiwan Tourism Bureau’s expert itinerary coordinators organized travel, transportation and hotel accommodations for the “Worth It” cast and crew for ten days, and conducted outreach to several establishments featured throughout the special. The Bureau’s long-running connections with local businesses and operations provided “Worth It” with exclusive access and permissions to locations across the country.

“Taiwan’s geographic advantage provides an abundance of fresh ingredients and its historic background shapes the wide variety of dishes available, from street food and night markets to the many restaurants that serve creatively plated meals with farm/ocean-to-table ingredients. In ‘Worth It Goes to Taiwan,’ international audiences will learn about the accessibility of Taiwanese cuisine, convenient transportation throughout the cities, and lush countryside through the lens of ‘Worth It.’ We are pleased to have this opportunity to work with BuzzFeed’s most popular culinary series and are touched by the team’s strong sense of creativity, responsibility and devotion to their work,” said Brad Shih, Director of Taiwan Tourism Bureau’s Los Angeles office.

“Food has always been a cultural touchpoint — ‘Worth It’ fans have traveled the world to try the dishes featured in the series. For this special edition of ‘Worth It,’ we’re excited to expose our audience to Taiwanese culinary culture, working with the Taiwan Tourism Bureau to highlight the best the country has to offer in a fun and truly unique way,” said BuzzFeed showrunner Katie LeBlanc.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Bondi Ukuleles founder, Marcus Whelan is on a mission with the popular ukulele brand to provide adolescents an alternative to screen time. It’s called Uke time! Through this innovative program “Rhythm and Reason”, the aim is to provide a safe and caring environment for over 1.2 Billion adolescents in a desperate attempt to provide children a safe and caring environment away from electronic devices. Bondi Ukuleles has quickly risen to fame for its’ strong mission, backed by incredible customer service and quality products.

In a recent data brief released by CDC, researchers found that “The suicide rate for persons aged 10–14 declined from 2000 (1.5) to 2007 (0.9), and then nearly tripled from 2007 to 2017 (2.5)”. And for “ages 15–19 was stable from 2000 to 2007, and then increased 76% from 2007 (6.7) to 2017 (11.8)” (NCHS Data Brief No. 352, October 2019) https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db352.htm?deliveryName=USCDC_171-DM11162

“Incidentally, the first smartphone was released on June 29th, 2007 which correlates to the increase in suicide rate in children. I grew up in a family surrounded by music with my father a Piano Tuner of 40 years. Almost weekly he’d bring home a new instrument and a room dedicated to music. – It was like a musical jungle in there. Over the years, music has provided me a fantastic offline, social opportunity. I hope to create that same experience for children” – Marcus Whelan

The community driven focus of Bondi Ukuleles aims at inclusion, the safe harbor of children’s’ mental health and creative souls. Calling on ukulele groups, teachers, schools, parents to join the fight by registering to assist in building a global community. – With Rhythm, children can have a Reason.

Ukulele lessons and meet-ups will enable children to be supported, nurtured and assisted in navigating an ever growing and complex technological world. A world which propels people towards online informal relationships over intimate offline ones.

Bondi Ukuleles is changing the world one strum at a time and already having a large impact in Cambodia. – A more preventative measure as cell phone usage is still low however increasing. The Rhythm and Reason program is set to launch across the United States in January 2020.
