Leave a comment


With this powerful payment solution, dental practices can accept patient payments from a variety of channels, all seamlessly integrated into their practice management system, eliminating the need for manual reconciliation


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Sikka Software, a market leader in advancing retail healthcare connectivity, and Sphere, the leading provider of end-to-end integrated payments and security software, today announced the launch of a new payment platform, Sikka Payments, for dentists and their patients. This innovative platform is designed to equip patients with a pay-anywhere capability and automate the payment and reconciliation process for providers. The announcement came during the Greater New York Dental Meeting, a global event featuring some of the best new products and services for dental professionals.

Sikka Payments makes it easier than ever to harness the increased capabilities, enhanced security, and reduced costs associated with processing electronic payments. Mobile payments allow providers to request and accept payments remotely, preserving the doctor patient relationship and creating additional opportunities for the practice to accelerate accounts receivable collections. With this powerful payment solution, dental practices can accept patient payments from a variety of channels, all seamlessly integrated into their practice management system, eliminating the need for manual reconciliation. These features make it easier for providers to collect payments earlier, provide a better patient payment experience and maximize cash flow in the practice. Sikka Payments is built on the HIPAA and HITECH compliant Sikka Platform Cloud which connects to the majority of retail healthcare applications, including 96% of dental practice management systems.

Sphere brings healthcare payments full circle, delivering easy to integrate payment processing technology and cost-effective processing that is highly secure and compliant. Sikka Payments users will now be able to offer patients more options for when and how their patients pay without any disruption to the office workflow.

In conjunction with this solution launch, and Sikka’s expansion into Fintech, the company has also announced the appointment of Rory Byrne, as General Manager of Fintech. Rory has over 20 years’ experience in enterprise software sales, payments strategy, and business development. Prior to joining Sikka, Rory was EVP of Business Development at Billtrust, where he was responsible for B2B payments strategy, strategic partnerships, and M&A. Rory brings expertise from a variety of executive and leadership roles in sales, marketing, and business development including Visa, Yahoo!, Hyperion, and Kofax. This role will help Sikka address the growing demand for Fintech services in the retail healthcare market.

“Dental offices need three key things from a payment application; to save time by making it easier for the team to accept payments, to save money by providing the best rates, and to provide today’s hyper connected patients with an easy and convenient way to pay from anywhere,” said Vijay Sikka, Founder and CEO of Sikka Software. “Sikka Payments, launched in collaboration with Sphere, delivers on each of these three things, and revolutionizes payments in the dental industry”.

“Sikka has built a proven platform that allows practices to leverage innovative third-party applications to improve operational efficiencies,” said Steve Rizzuto, Chief Executive Officer of Sphere. “With the addition of Sikka Payments, dentists now have a single source to maximize their practices in an integrated, secure, and frictionless way.”

Galloway is featured on a co-branded 3 oz Roll-On Real Time ACTIVE Pain Relief Cream that will be promoted in his newsletters, social media and his running stores. It is available for purchase here.

  • Sweat-resistant and absorbs quickly without any greasy residue.

  • No harsh chemicals – free of parabens, SLS, artificial dyes, GMOs, NSAIDs and acetaminophen.

TrialScope Launches Clinical Trials Website for EMD Serono

EMD Serono Clinical Trials website

EMD Serono Clinical Trials website

“Both EMD Serono and TrialScope share a commitment to clinical trial transparency, awareness and patient engagement.” – TrialScope CEO Jeff Kozloff


JERSEY CITY, N.J. (PRWEB)

TrialScope, the global leader in clinical trial transparency and disclosure compliance solutions, has worked with EMD Serono, the North American branch of the healthcare business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, to launch a new website, https://clinicaltrials.emdgroup.com. This site is designed to educate and inform patients, caregivers, the public, patient advocacy groups and healthcare professionals (HCPs) about the clinical trial journey, as well as provide specific information about clinical trials conducted by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, and its affiliates.

In an effort to keep clinical trial participants fully informed, the website provides an overview of the different phases of research, as well as outlines each step the patient will encounter through the clinical trial process. The site also provides access to trial results and other available post-trial information, such as plain language summaries and clinical study report synopses. This is made possible through the TrialScope Engage™ platform that automatically syncs approved clinical trial data from TrialScope Disclose™, the global disclosure system used by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. The site also provides impactful information about clinical research to healthcare professionals, which helps them raise awareness about the importance of clinical trials and discuss potential participation in clinical trials with their patients. An extensive FAQ section, with more than 30 questions and answers, provides a comprehensive overview of clinical trials.

“Both EMD Serono and TrialScope share a commitment to clinical trial transparency, awareness and patient engagement,” said TrialScope CEO Jeff Kozloff. “Together, we sought input from multiple patient stakeholders to develop an informative and well-designed site that will help accelerate patient knowledge, understanding and connections to relevant clinical trial information.”

To ensure that the website content meets the needs of patients, TrialScope and EMD Serono worked with the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP) to gather feedback from patients and the public. According to CISCRP, 75 percent of the general public is willing to participate in a clinical trial, yet only 30 percent have a basic understanding of what clinical research is. Insights gleaned from people who had previously searched for trials guided not only the content but the manner in which it is presented.

About TrialScope

TrialScope is the global leader in clinical trial disclosure and transparency management technology, supporting 16 of the top 20 industry clinical trial sponsors worldwide. TrialScope provides proven solutions that optimize the efficiency of disclosure activities, maximize trial data transparency, and foster more informed, engaged patients through open research sharing.

How To Select A Safer And Cheaper To Insure Car

Leave a comment


News Image

“It is important for drivers to pick a safe car for driving. Not only a safe car will protect the lives of its occupants, but it will also help lower the insurance premiums”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Carinsuranceplan.org has launched a new blog post that explains how drivers can pick a safe car to drive and save car insurance money at the same time.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/pick-safe-car/

When shopping for a new vehicle, one of the main concerns a policyholder can have is how safe is the car is going to purchase? Choosing a safe car is important for drivers that want to keep their loved ones as safe as possible while they are on the road. Besides that, safe cars can help drivers pay less on their insurance policies.

The following tips can help drivers pick a safe car:


  • Check the crash test scores. Vehicles with good scores will better protect their occupants from injuries or even death. Policyholders should look for “Good” front moderate overlap, small overlap, side-impact, and roof scores from the IIHS. IIHS tests evaluate two aspects of safety: crashworthiness – how well a vehicle protects its occupants in case of a crash, and crash avoidance and mitigation features – technology that can prevent a collision or lessen its severity.

  • Look for vehicles with side airbags. While frontal crashes are the most frequent type of collisions, side impacts are the second most common but are by far more likely to be fatal. Policyholders should buy cars that come with side head airbags besides every occupant seat and at a minimum, torso airbags besides the front passengers.

  • Analyze the car size and weight. Larger and heavier vehicles are safer than smaller ones. However, some big cars are prone to rollovers or other issues. Mid-sized sedans with high safety ratings are considered ideal choices.

  • Crash avoidance technologies. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 94 percent of fatal crashes is because a human being made an error or a poor choice. Crash avoidance technologies can sense what’s going around a vehicle and will either act in the place of the drivers or alert them. Ever improving technologies like advanced braking and warning systems can minimize injuries and damage from collisions.

CAP-XX acquires Murata’s supercapacitor production lines, will produce Murata’s three supercapacitor families and serve its customers from Sydney

Leave a comment


CAP-XX to maintain Murata’s existing pricing on the small, thin DMF, DMT and DMH supercapacitor product families.

We look forward to serving Murata’s customers and are committed to providing the same high quality, low cost products that they enjoy today,” said Anthony Kongats, CAP-XX CEO.


SYDNEY (PRWEB)

CAP-XX (LSE:CPX), a leader in supercapacitors that deliver peak power to support or replace batteries, today announced it will acquire CAP-XX licensee Murata’s supercapacitor production lines, relocate them from Japan to a new factory in Sydney to arrive in stages between March and June 2020, and begin producing Murata’s three supercapacitor product families in Q3 2020. Murata will also assist in introducing CAP-XX to its customers.

Murata licensed CAP-XX’s patents in 2008, began production of supercapacitors in Japan in 2013, and has since significantly built its supercapacitor business. After a strategic review of its business in 2018, Murata informed CAP-XX that it wanted to focus on its multilayer ceramic capacitors and lithium batteries, and exit some of its non-core business lines including supercapacitors. Consequently, the two companies reached agreement for CAP-XX to acquire Murata’s high-quality production lines. The companies have been working together for over 12 months to ensure the successful relocation of these production lines, and for CAP-XX to be able to produce supercapacitors that are identical to what Murata makes today, guaranteeing customers a continuity of supply.

CAP-XX considers this a compelling opportunity to acquire modern, state-of-the-art production equipment from manufacturing expert Murata, whose production lines are newer, more efficient and have far greater capacity than CAP-XX’s own. The company expects the acquisition to both increase its sales and reduce its direct production costs.

Murata is building enough inventory to satisfy the needs of customers during the interim after ceasing production in Q1 2020 until CAP-XX recommences shipments using the production lines in Q3 2020.

CAP-XX plans to maintain Murata’s existing pricing on Murata’s small, thin DMF, DMT and DMH supercapacitor product families:

  •     DMT is a high-power, ultra-long life, high temperature supercapacitor suited for extreme applications such as solid-state drives and automotive applications. Due to its thinness, it can be assembled onto printed circuit boards (PCBs).

  •     DMF is a general purpose, very high power, long life supercapacitor that has very low ESR and a wider operating voltage range. It is suitable for high brightness LED flash, high-power audio, smart meters and more. It, too, can be assembled onto PCBs.

  •     DMH is an ultra-thin 0.4mm supercapacitor suited for smart phones, smart credit cards, wearables, 3V coin cell battery applications and other very thin IOT applications.

“We look forward to serving Murata’s customers and are committed to providing the same high quality, low cost products that they enjoy today,” said Anthony Kongats, CAP-XX CEO.

About CAP-XX supercapacitors:

CAP-XX supercapacitors support power requirements including wireless communication (Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Ant, active RFID), electronic paper and OLED displays, haptic or tactile feedback, vibration alerts, GPS acquisition, and injection or inhalation system delivery. The supercapacitors work with thin-film, solid-state, and other low-power batteries such as coin cells/button cells, energy harvesting modules (solar, vibration/kinetic, RF, and other ambient energy sources), as well as inductive/wireless and cable/cradle fast-charging systems.

About CAP-XX

CAP-XX (LSE:CPX) is a world leader in the design and manufacture of small supercapacitors and energy management systems used in portable and small-scale electronic devices, and large supercapacitor-based modules used in automotive and renewable energy applications. The unique feature of CAP-XX supercapacitors is their very high power density and high-energy storage capacity in space-efficient thin prismatic and compact cylindrical packages. These attributes are essential in many power-hungry applications. For more information about CAP-XX, visit http://www.cap-xx.com or email sales@cap-xx.com.

Translational Study Demonstrates Value of MSOT Imaging for the Assessment of Disease Progression in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Leave a comment


In this study we were able to visualize collagen in vivo using MSOT imaging. It suggests its application as a non-invasive, age-independent biomarker for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.


MUNICH (PRWEB)

DMD is the most common lethal inherited muscular disease occurring in about one of 5,000 male births. While affected boys can develop normally, at the age of 4 to 5 years a loss of muscle mass becomes apparent. By the age of 10, characteristic muscle weakness results in the loss of walking ability and finally in respiratory and cardiac failure. Until now, the assessment of disease progression is based on muscle examinations as well as functional testing. However, physical examinations rely on active cooperation and the individual performance on the day and require a minimum age, which limits their clinical utility.

Imaging approaches such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been investigated as non-invasive and objective disease assessment methods. However, complex scanning protocols limit their application and the need for sedation of very young patients still raises the need for independent easy-to-apply prognostic biomarkers in DMD.

The studies conducted at the University Hospital Erlangen (UHE) included tissues, experimental models, as well as 10 boys and 10 healty volunteers, aged 3 to 10 years. Results demonstrate that MSOT can visualize and quantify the distribution and concentration of collagen as a measure for degenerated muscular tissue, demonstrating a biomarker for DMD disease progression. ‘In this study we were able to visualize collagen in vivo using MSOT imaging’, says Dr. Adrian Regensburger, MD at UHE. ‘It suggests its application as a non-invasive, age-independent biomarker for DMD, thereby potentially filling the urgent clinical need for an easy and objective assessment of DMD disease progression and treatment monitoring’.

Christian Wiest, CEO at iThera Medical comments: ‘We are excited to see that MSOT can potentially aid DMD patients suffering from this severe disease. We will therefore continue to drive research for the use of our imaging technology in DMD and to expand its use into related fields.’
