New Orleans’ Precision-Medicine Physician Becomes Certified in the Clinical Use of Peptides

Leave a comment


Henry J. “Trip” Goolsby, III, MD

We are excited to bring the cutting edge approach to age-management medicine via peptides to both our New Orleans and Lake Charles communities


NEW ORLEANS (PRWEB)

Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center’s, Founder/CEO, Trip Goolsby, MD attended Age Management Medicine Group’s (AMMG) November Continuing Medical Education Conference in Tucson, Arizona, November 7th, and received a certification in the clinical use of peptides.

The certifying organization, AMMG, is a division of Red River Solutions, Inc., and provides various continuing medical education credits to physicians interested in furthering develop their knowledge base and expertise in age-management medicine. Among other state of the art treatment modalities, this 27th Clinical Applications for Age Management Medicine Conference provided the “essential scientific information for the use of peptides in age management medicine and how to clinically apply [the] knowledge to individualized patient treatment plans to improve patient outcomes.”

After about thirty years practicing community oncology and hematology, Dr. Goolsby, a Board Certified Oncologist and Hematologist transitioned into integrative medicine in 2013. In so doing, he became a Certified Elite Health provider and he and his wife/co-founder, LeNae Goolsby, JD, established Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center.

Infinite Health is an elite precision-medicine practice with a niche focus on health optimization, longevity & regenerative medicines, “…incorporating the age-management benefits of peptide therapies into our current programs and modalities just makes sense,” Dr. Goolsby stated.

“Peptides are essentially signaling chains that direct/signal the body in certain ways to achieve and effectuate healing that would otherwise necessitate pharmaceutical intervention; they have an ability to signal multiple pathways that are capable of balancing the body’s response to repair.”

There are many exciting scientific/medical advancements in the use of peptides. For example, peptides can simultaneously enhance multiple pathways in the immune system that can either appropriately enhance response to an outside challenge, such as a virus, and/or bacteria, or to help reorganize the immune system so that it no longer responds inappropriately, such as by creating auto-immune disease.

Other conditions that are routinely corrected by the appropriate use of peptides include, hair-loss in Lupus, SLE, brain repair and the reversal of dementia has likewise been proven in numerous settings.

“We are excited to bring this cutting edge approach to age-management medicine to both our New Orleans and Lake Charles communities,” said Dr. Goolsby.

Thuraya and eSAT Global© Successfully Complete Tests of Pioneering Satellite IoT Technology

Leave a comment

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

Thuraya, the mobile satellite services subsidiary of the Al Yah Satellite Communications Company (Yahsat), the leading UAE-based global satellite operator, and eSAT Global™, a pioneer in low cost Satellite IoT connectivity, today announced the completion of successful tests validating eSAT’s revolutionary Global LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) communications technology over Thuraya’s satellite system.

As a leading provider of mobile satellite services (MSS) over its geostationary (GEO) satellites, Thuraya offers an expanding range of compelling voice, broadband data, and M2M/IoT capabilities for land, maritime and aeronautical applications. These include cost-effective solutions, catering to a wide range of technical and commercial market requirements.

To date, only modest consideration has been given to the use of direct links to GEO MSS satellites for LPWAN connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. eSAT’s tests of its breakthrough technology over Thuraya’s robust GEO MSS system reveal that this approach is not only practical, but also highly advantageous, and that low latency, low-cost LPWAN connectivity is about to become a reality with the use of Thuraya’s cutting-edge technology.

The functionality of the eSAT system is enabled by the advanced capabilities of Thuraya’s GEO MSS system. eSAT’s disruptive approach ensures much lower costs and much higher capacity than many other satellite based LPWAN systems. It is also cost-competitive when compared to ground-based solutions, which are by their very nature, limited in their range of coverage.

The match between the Thuraya system and eSAT’s services is now proven. “We are very grateful to have worked with Thuraya to verify eSAT system’s performance using Thuraya’s system. The links operated just as the Thuraya team described, with the end-to-end, two-way connectivity being consistently achieved, right from the first attempt,” stated Michael Parr, eSAT’s Chief Technology Officer.

Thuraya’s Chief Strategy Officer, Jassem Nasser commented, “We are delighted with the success of the testing campaign conducted by the joint team of Thuraya and eSAT experts. Thuraya aims at being at the forefront of Satellite IoT and we believe in its enormous potential to transform societies and industries worldwide. Testing with eSAT is one of many steps we are undertaking to address the Satellite IoT markets, and we look forward to eSAT completing the development of its unique technology platform.”

eSAT Global’s Executive Chairman, David Lyon, noted, “We are very pleased to mark this occasion of successful joint testing. eSAT looks forward to future success with Thuraya bringing reliable, always available, Global LPWAN data connectivity to millions of IoT devices enabling practical applications such as environmental protection, public safety and fire prevention, asset and personnel tracking, and smart agriculture. This borderless mobility will also enable ongoing refinement of IoT applications through AI techniques applied to the massive data records that are to be continuously gathered over these GLPWAN communication links.”

Thuraya and eSAT are now looking forward to bringing ultra-low-cost Satellite IoT to the market to address the many applications that have now become viable at a previously unheard-of price point.

About Thuraya Telecommunications Company

Thuraya, is the mobile satellite services subsidiary of the Al Yah Satellite Communications Company (Yahsat), a leading global satellite operator based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), fully owned by Mubadala Investment Company. Established in 1997, Thuraya offers innovative communications solutions to a variety of sectors including maritime, energy, government, broadcast media, military, aerospace and humanitarian NGO. Thuraya’s superior network enables clear communications and uninterrupted coverage across two-thirds of the globe by MSS, global VSAT coverage and around the world through its unique GSM roaming capabilities. The company’s diverse range of technologically advanced and dependable mobile satellite handsets and broadband devices provide ease of use, value, quality and efficiency. Through relevant partnerships, Thuraya stays ahead by delivering solutions and supporting applications that meet the rapidly transforming nature of market demands. Thuraya remains committed to keeping everyone within reach in any circumstance by making accessible the essential tools required for vital connectivity.

About eSAT Global™

eSAT Global’s mission is to bring disruptive direct-to-satellite connectivity to low cost IoT devices. eSAT is led by satellite industry veterans with a track record of bringing successful multi-billion-dollar communications products and services to market. The direct-to-satellite connectivity solution is built around eSAT’s patented architecture using existing and highly reliable GEO MSS satellite platforms. Designed from the ground up for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the eSAT solution requires no terrestrial infrastructure or back-haul, while providing global coverage. IoT devices equipped with eSAT communications modules directly communicate with GEO MSS satellites at a transmit power level comparable to that of a car key fob, enabling years of operation on a single battery. eSAT technology enables the lowest cost for multiple modes of operation such as sensing, tracking, alarm reporting and command and control. Latency below two seconds is supported for time-sensitive applications. This unique combination of low cost, low latency, and global coverage is not matched by any other existing or proposed IoT connectivity solution, including the many proposed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems.

Ad Hoc Committee for babies born opioid-dependent now represented in Purdue bankruptcy proceedings

Leave a comment



WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Attorneys representing an Ad Hoc Committee for Neo-Natal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) babies and children filed a statement before U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert Drain in White Plains, NY notifying the Purdue debtors that the needs of the most innocent victims in America’s prescription opioid epidemic cannot be forgotten as a $12 billion settlement is considered.

Tartar Krinsky & Drogin’s Scott Markowitz will act as legal counsel to the Ad Hoc NAS Committee composed of Attorneys Scott Bickford, Kent Harrison Robbins and Donald Creadore.

“The NAS Baby Ad Hoc Committee, which will work cooperatively with the Debtor and the Unsecured Creditors Committee, will represent the guardians who are responsible for the babies diagnosed at birth with Neo-Natal Abstinence Syndrome due solely to their birth mother’s use during pregnancy of opioids manufactured by Purdue among other entities,” Counsel informed the Court.

The NAS Ad Hoc Committee will serve several objectives, according to Mr. Bickford, most notably being:


  • To recover damages for the personal injuries suffered by children suffering from opioid use by their mother’s during pregnancy; and

  • To seek establishment of a nationwide medical monitoring program to be overseen by a trust administrator that will improve the health and outcomes for hundreds of thousands of NAS infants and children as they age.

The members of the NAS Ad Hoc Committee are attorneys who have committed thousands of hours of their time to zealously represent the interests of this unique group of NAS claimants, filing class actions covering 34 individual states and establishing direct medical links between in-vitro opioid exposure and birth defects such as Spina Bifida, Cleft Palate, heart, head and gastro-intestinal deformities, and long-term development issues such as speech, motor skill and learning disabilities, said Mr. Bickford.

“The members of this Ad Hoc Committee are the de facto experts representing the legal interests of NAS babies,” Mr. Bickford said.    

“Prescription opioids were thrust onto the American public in the mid-1990s, and the epidemic these drugs have spawned has many aspects but the most overlooked is the incidence of NAS in newborns,” said Mr. Bickford.

The Ad Hoc Committee said the NAS claims, in the aggregate, exceed the claims of all other known creditors in the Purdue bankruptcy proceedings. “These claimants are voiceless as well as faultless,” said Mr. Bickford.

Purpose-Driven Dental Group Founded by Dentist Brothers Named Best Dentistry Company to Work for in Illinois for 2nd Year in a Row

Leave a comment



SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (PRWEB)

For two consecutive years, DecisionOne Dental has been named as one of the Top Workplaces in Illinois by The Chicago Tribune as evaluated by Energage, a national leader in workplace culture development and employee performance research. The company was the highest ranked dental business in Illinois regardless of size in both 2018 and 2019 and #32 of all mid-sized companies with 250-999 employees. Energage has surveyed over 50,000 businesses nationwide to develop its criteria to identify companies with excellent workplace cultures. The Top Workplace designation was based on an independent survey of DecisionOne Dental employees by Energage. DecisionOne Dental is one of the fastest growing dental service organizations in Illinois with currently 355 team members at 30 dentist offices across the Chicagoland area and a support center based in Schaumburg.

“We’re really honored and humbled by this award,” said Dr. AJ Acierno, CEO and co-founder of DecisionOne Dental. “We created a company with a purpose to put people — patients and team members — first and that has drawn such an array of talented and dedicated people to work with us, people who want to be a part of our mission. For all of us this is so much more than just a job — we are literally changing the way dentistry is done to improve lives.”

DecisionOne Dental was founded in 2011 by brothers AJ and Mike Acierno, both of whom are practicing dentists. They saw a change coming to the dental industry in which insurance companies were disrupting the doctor-patient relationship, providing less coverage of care for higher costs. Determined to put patients’ needs first, they created DecisionOne Dental and immediately attracted like-minded dentists. In eight years they’ve grown from 2 dental offices to 30 while maintaining a commitment to a high level of oral healthcare and steadfast patient advocacy. To do this, DecisionOne has developed a workplace culture that empowers all of its team members, not just clinicians, to be innovative, collaborative, and purpose-driven.

“No one went to dental school because they wanted to run a business,” said Dr. Mike Acierno, co-founder and chief clinical officer of DecisionOne. “We went because we wanted to care for people. If insurance companies or other stakeholders who are more interested in the bottom line get in the way of that, then the quality of care will decline. We put our doctors and hygienists in a position to do what they love and we give them the business support they need to provide excellent clinical care. In fact we take this ‘people-first’ approach with all of our team, not just the clinicians.”

In addition to championing “Excellence” as a core value, DecisionOne Dental also names “Teamwork” and “Altruism” as its guiding principles. Team members annually donate thousands of hours of service time to underserved populations in need of oral healthcare, including adults with cognitive disabilities and military veterans.

ABOUT DECISIONONE DENTAL

DecisionOne Dental Partners is a network of carefully curated dental professionals who value the personal doctor-patient relationship and high quality of patient care. The group was founded by brothers AJ and Mike Acierno, both practicing family dentists, who believe dentistry can thrive by embracing the benefits of both corporate and solo-practitioner dentistry, while minimizing the limitations of each type of practice. This philosophy is based on the core value of being true advocates for both patients and team members; of putting “people first” in the increasingly complex environment of modern healthcare. Over the last decade, the bottom line financial interests of many stakeholders in healthcare have compromised these values which diminish patient care and trust. With 30 current locations, DecisionOne Dental is the fastest growing dental group in Illinois. Dr. AJ Acierno and Dr. Mike Acierno are also team dentists for the Chicago Wolves Hockey Team.

Acierno Dental in Schaumburg was recently featured in Chicago magazine’s “2018 Top Doctors” issue named as a top dental practice in the Chicagoland area and DecisionOne Dental was named by Group Dentistry Now as one of “9 Dental Groups In The Nation to Watch.” For more information about DecisionOne Dental or to find a dentist, please visit http://www.decisiononedental.com or on Facebook at DecisionOne Dental Partners.
