We founded SVO in order to better serve the Silicon Valley area with the best care and cutting-edge technology. One area that really sets us apart is the ability and willingness to truly share the decision-making process with our patients, states Dr. Masi Reynolds.


FREMONT, Calif. (PRWEB)

Silicon Valley Orthopaedics (SVO), located at 39180 Farwell Dr., Suite 110, in Fremont, CA, has been launched to help patients across the San Jose and Silicon Valley area reach their musculoskeletal health goals. This new, state-of-the-art practice will utilize innovative, evidence-based surgical and non-surgical techniques, focusing on the individual needs of their valued patients. The experienced team will provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans to address joint pain and discomfort to help patients achieve optimum results.

At Silicon Valley Orthopaedics, Dr. Gay and Dr. Reynolds provide specialized treatments with a focus on joint preservation. Although joint replacement procedures are sometimes necessary, maintaining the integrity of the natural joint structures and mechanisms can often be a more appropriate treatment path. The team at Silicon Valley Orthopaedics has dedicated their professional lives to providing effective, long-lasting joint pain relief and improved mobility for their patients.

“We founded SVO in order to better serve the Silicon Valley area with the best care and cutting-edge technology. One area that really sets us apart is the ability and willingness to truly share the decision-making process with our patients,” states Dr. Kerisimasi Reynolds. “Since we are not beholden to any health system or hospital, unlike many other doctors, we are not required to modify our treatment approach and protocols. At SVO, the treatment is determined by the doctor and the patient working together, end of story,” adds Dr. Nic Gay.

Dr. Nic Gay completed medical school at Baylor College of Medicine and his residency at the University of Pennsylvania.

Nathan Strong’s newly released “The Littlest Shepherd” is a soul-refreshing book that allows the readers to know more about Jesus and His unending love for everyone.

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas”: an eye-gaping reminder that Jesus will come to any longing heart, helping them ease the worries and making their life complete. “The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas” is the creation of published author Nathan Strong, a writer who grew up in the hill country of northern Vermont. Finding Jesus as a teenager, he went on to serve as a pastor for thirty-five years.

Strong writes, “Coming from an unhappy home in Bethlehem, the little shepherd boy was happiest when he was out with the sheep at night. An amazing midnight experience led him to go with the other shepherds to find a baby in a manger, a wonderful sight he would never forget.

“Moving to Galilee as a man in search of joy, he comes in contact with a young teacher named Jesus. When he finally gets up enough courage to talk with Him, he discovers an amazing connection that may also meet the long-held desires of his heart.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Nathan Strong’s new book is a heart-touching tale that gives the readers hope to never lose their faith as Jesus remembers everyone and provide completeness in one’s life.

With this purpose, Strong shares a remarkable message to everyone that Jesus never fails to find and bring any longing soul to His Father’s Kingdom.

His Marine son was killed in Iraq in January, and after a year of grief, pastor Nathan Strong felt emotionally drained, with nothing left in the way of comfort and joy to offer his church that Christmas. In fact, he wondered if God really cared for a country boy in the hills of northern Vermont. Then he sat down and wrote “The Littlest Shepherd” – a story about God’s care for a country boy in the hills of Bethlehem, which reminded him in a very personal way of God’s care for him. This story renewed his understanding of God’s personal care for anyone in need. He shared it with his congregation that Christmas, and now he shares it with the world.

View a synopsis of “The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

For additional information or inquiries about “The Littlest Shepherd: A Personal Christmas,” contact the Christian Faith Publishing media department at 866-554-0919.

10ZiG 7700q All-in-One

New 10ZiG 7700q All-In-One Series & Liquidware UX Integration

“Liquidware has developed the integration between 10ZiG & Stratusphere UX at the specific request of our joint customers,” stated Tyler Rohrer, co-founder and head of strategic alliances at Liquidware.


BARCELONA (PRWEB)

10ZiG Technology® is introducing its new, never-before-seen 7700q Series All-in-One Thin & Zero Client endpoints, featuring in-demand Blast Extreme support, at VMworld Europe Barcelona this week. The 10ZiG 7700q Series (Thin Client) and 7748q Series (Zero Client) will be available with PeakOS™ (Linux), Windows 10 IoT (W10 IoT), and NOS™ (Zero) for exceptional power, speed, performance, and convenience with VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft – supporting Blast Extreme, PCoIP, and HDX, and more.

Based on a fanless Intel Braswell x5-E8000 Quad-Core 1.04 GHz/2.00 GHz Burst CPU platform, the 7700q Series is the newest model to the 10ZiG lineup with its ultra-slim, stylish, 23.8” Full HD Display with LED backlight panel and two external monitors up to 4K resolution, incredible all-in-one convenience, and powerful performance. Its sturdy compact foot stand tilts from -5 to 20 degrees and swivels an impressive -65 to 65 degrees. The slender 9.9mm, frameless bezel design offers a 250 nits and anti-Glare panel for super-comfortable reading, OSD multiple-support control button functionality, and enables lower power consumption, generally 20 W or less.

Says 10ZiG CTO Kevin Greenway, “We’re excited that we can now introduce this hardware to our product range and can demo it at VMworld Europe. Of course, this All-in-One is convenient for spacing and there is damage-control with operating features being tucked away into the monitor itself but, we really listened to the market and made it fully compatible and efficient with VMware Blast (Extreme). Our FREE demo offer also applies to the 7700q Series, which offers proof with a test-drive in your own environment.”

  • Quad-Core Intel Braswell x5-E8000 Processor

  • Operates at a Base Frequency of 1.04 GHz (2.00 GHz Burst)

  • 23.8” Full HD Display with LED backlight panel (1920 x 1080)

  • Optional Wireless

In addition, 10ZiG is also pleased to announce the integration of Liquidware’s Stratusphere UX 6.1.4 agent on 10ZiG NOSTM Zero Clients to provide customers with greater visibility on their endpoints’ utilization. Greenway says “Combined with the troubleshooting that Stratusphere UX delivers, this integration will also assist in ensuring levels of user experience in our combined systems.”

“Liquidware has developed the integration between 10ZiG and Stratusphere UX at the specific request of our joint customers,” stated Tyler Rohrer, co-founder and head of strategic alliances at Liquidware. “Responding to customers’ requests and partnering with leading providers in their respective fields is what we strive to do. This integration and partnership with 10ZiG provides customers with comprehensive user experience metrics, all the way from the hypervisor to the end point.”

“Liquidware Stratusphere UX integration into the 10ZiG Zero Client firmware gives a complete visibility into the quality of end user workspace experience combined with ease of deployment. Telecom Systems is a trusted advisor/partner and considers the Stratusphere UX/10ZiG integration a “must have” solution for our customers, ” commented Nicolas Lutz, Sales Director Telecom System SA Switzerland.
