Nash Family Dentistry Eases Dental Anxiety with Sedation Dentistry in Vicksburg, MS

Drs. Kenneth and Jonathan Nash, Dentists in Vicksburg, MS

Drs. Kenneth and Jonathan Nash Relieve Dental Anxiety in Vicksburg, MS

When we offer sedation, we are monitoring everything. It is very safe and, for patients, they get the benefit of getting a lot of work done in a short amount of time.


Vicksburg, MS (PRWEB)

Drs. Kenneth and Jonathan Nash offer soothing sedation dentistry to counter dental anxiety for their Vicksburg, MS patients, helping them receive the dental care they need. Patient comfort during dental procedures is a top priority for the dentists at Nash Family Dentistry. This practice creates a relaxing environment and offers a variety of sedation options that help ease anxiety and block sensations of discomfort during treatments.

Dental sedation is often used to help patients with dental anxiety receive the care they need without fears or discomfort. Nash Family Dentistry offers both oral and nitrous oxide sedation as conscious sedation options. These forms of sedation help patients relax, yet still stay awake during the procedures.

“When we offer sedation, we are monitoring everything,” Dr. Kenneth Nash explains. “It is very safe and, for patients, they get the benefit of getting a lot of work done in a short amount of time.”

Sedation dentistry is a very safe technique that is used frequently at Nash Family Dentistry. Patients are closely monitored during sedation, watching pulse, heart rate and blood pressure for safety. When anxiety and fear is no longer a concern, patients are able to receive more dental care in a shorter amount of time. This means treatments can often be completed during one appointment rather than being separated into multiple appointments.

In addition to sedation dentistry, Nash Family Dentistry also offers minimally invasive and comfortable dental care with the help of laser dentistry and ClearCorrect orthodontics. Laser dentistry takes the scalpels and sutures out of dentistry, able to perform dental care with just laser light. ClearCorrect orthodontics offers tooth alignment with gentle clear aligners that are both removable and virtually invisible in the smile. The practice also prides itself on patient communication and calls every patient after their appointment, no matter how small the treatment, to make sure they are still comfortable and not experiencing any problems.

Those interested in learning more about the practice, or who want to experience the benefits of sedation dentistry to help ease dental anxiety, are encouraged to call Nash Family Dentistry at 601-634-1812 or schedule a consultation online at http://www.vicksburgdentist.com.

A New Approach for People Who Have Experienced Trauma

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Over 50 Worksheets for the Treatment of PTSD

Practical tools for hard to treat problems like impulsivity, sexual dysfunction, hallucinations, and memory issues.


NORWALK, Conn. (PRWEB)

According to psychologist Tijana Mandic, trauma has become the “new normal” for people in every society. She explains, “The world is being defined by uncertainties, contradictions, complexities, and chaos,” and where trauma was once considered a rare human experience, modern psychology has now expanded the concept of trauma to include a wide variety of life-changing events. Dr. Mandic notes that “nearly every one of us will experience at least a mild trauma at some time during our lives.” Yet, most of us are not taught the tools to recover from trauma.

Dr. Mandic brings decades of experience to her thoughtful work. Her background has included treating trauma victims ranging from refugees of war to victims of natural disasters and political turmoil. While alleviating symptoms is important, Dr. Mandic believes that this is just the first step in helping people with trauma. Her workbook takes people on a journey from overcoming their symptoms to developing resiliency skills that will help them deal with additional life problems, enabling them to open themselves to daily experiences of happiness and fulfillment.

The workbook has been hailed as a “master-class” for therapists treating clients with PTSD, but also as a toolbox of highly practical techniques. The workbook provides over 50 practical worksheets and exercises to treat a wide variety of problems that are often overlooked or deemed too complex for treatment, including: handling impulsive behaviors, understanding the effect of trauma on memory, dealing with hallucinations, rebuilding trust, and much more. The book provides tools to help clients pursue happiness in their lives, develop closer relationships with their loved ones, and discover joy and balance.

The workbook is being sold at major online retailers as well as CounselingStore.com, where along with their paperback copy, readers can get immediate access to a digital version of the book to print out the exercises.

Dr. Mandic also gives workshops around the world on treating people with trauma as well as overcoming creative blocks.

“Overcoming PTSD” is published by Between Sessions Resources, a leader in providing practical tools for clinicians to use with their clients.

Find Out Why Drivers Who Own A House Pay Lower Car Insurance Rates

Leave a comment


News Image

“Owning a home can help drivers obtain great savings on their car insurance premiums”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that explains how homeowners can save car insurance money.

For more info and online car insurance quotes, visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/you-can-pay-lower-car-insurance-rates-if-youre-a-homeowner/

Drivers that own a home can pay cheaper car insurance premiums. Bundling car insurance with home insurance can help drivers save money on car insurance. Most insurers that sell car insurance policies are also selling home insurance policies.

Drivers that want to bundle car insurance with home insurance should consider the following:


  • Bundling benefits. Drivers can save between 5% to 25% on each policy if they decide to bundle their policies. Bundling is convenient and policyholders will avoid dealing with multiple providers, multiple billing systems, and multiple accounts. Policyholders that have costly claims or accidents on their driving records, can avoid being dropped by their insurers if they bundle policies.

  • Bundling disadvantages. Many drivers forget to shop around if they have a bundled policy. By doing so, they will not notice the small rate changes that happen in their individual policies. In some cases, it will be cheaper to buy separate car and home insurance policies. Some insurers will rely on other providers for home insurance. In this case their customers will have to deal with multiple insurance companies when filing a claim. Bundling will reduce the individual coverage limits of the insurance policy.

Homeowners can save car insurance money through other methods, besides bundling like the following:

  • Good credit score. Usually, homeowners have a better credit score than renters. The credit score is used by insurers to determine the insurance rates paid by a policyholder. Policyholders with a good credit score will pay less on their premiums than drivers with a poor credit score,

  • Better neighborhood. Drivers that live in areas that are considered safe by insurers will pay less on their premiums. The ZIP code of a driver is very important for any insurer. Insurance companies will use the ZIP code to find out how many claims are in an area, vehicles theft ratio, number of break-ins, or acts of vandalism.

Grand Opening of New University of Massachusetts Lowell State-of-the-art, Pilot-scale Lyophilization Facility

Leave a comment



LOWELL, Mass. (PRWEB)

SP Scientific was delighted to support today the ribbon-cutting event officially launching the new UMass Lowell state-of-the-art, pilot-scale lyophilization facility. As the newest member of UMass Lowell’s Core Research Facilities, this non-GMP Lyophilization Lab (LyoBay) provides an R&D test bed for process development, scale-up and the development and application of new process analytical technologies. It will also serve as a user facility for pre-clinical process development and training to support the local and national biotechnology industry.

This facility includes a new SP Scientific S20 LyoConstellation production freeze dryer. LyoConstellation is a Line of Sight™-enabled freeze-drying system with very powerful refrigeration, delivering an expanded equipment capability and a large process space. This allows the development of highly aggressive cycles and the mapping of the furthest reaches of theoretical design space for a formulation. When handling high-value active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), and with a need to bring product to market as quickly and safely as possible, LyoConstellation addresses early stage development under aseptic and controlled conditions. This means product behaves in the same manner once it is ready for scale-up and eventually ready for commercialization.

This new pilot-scale lyophilization facility, an important addition to the UMass Lowell innovation ecosystem, was developed with generous support from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center and from the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL). A NIIMBL funded project team led by Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) of Andover, MA, and including UMass Lowell, the University of Connecticut, Purdue University, Merck, and Genentech, are guiding the facility development and will be the inaugural users of the facility developing process scale-up tools to support improved biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

As well as the grand ribbon-cutting opening, the celebration included a list of invited guest speakers including representatives from PSI Inc., Pfizer, NIIMBL, Mass Life Sciences Center, UMass Lowell, as well as local and state government officials. The event included a tour of the new facility and an opportunity to visit some of the other R&D labs available in UMass Lowell’s Core Research Facilities.

New Tampa start-up Confident Me Health Care Centers aims to give women renewed confidence through an innovative incontinence treatment

Leave a comment


“Although urinary incontinence is a fairly common medical issue affecting as many as 25 million adult Americans, it is widely perceived as a taboo topic and rarely discussed, even between patients and their doctors,” said Michele Boone, president of CMHCC.


TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB)

Millions of men and women in the U.S. suffer from some form of urinary incontinence, with a majority of those diagnosed being women over the age of 50. A new Tampa Bay area start-up has emerged to help those affected with this condition.

Confident Me Health Care Centers (CMHCC) is a Brandon-based medical company that treats bladder leakage through a new medical technology that provides non-invasive pelvic floor therapy. This new technology provides 11,000 Kegels in a 28 minute session.

A key differentiator between conventional urinary incontinence treatment options and those offered by CMHCC includes the center’s focus on utilizing the latest medical technology to leverage better results. The company’s core treatment program utilizes a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment device which utilizes HIFEM (high-Intensity focused electromagnetic technology) to strengthen an individual’s pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control.

According to CMHCC, the company has seen an 85 percent success rate among patients.

“Although urinary incontinence is a fairly common medical issue affecting as many as 25 million adult Americans, it is widely perceived as a taboo topic and rarely discussed, even between patients and their doctors,” said Michele Boone, president of CMHCC. “Our mission is to inspire those dealing with this condition to seek treatment and regain their confidence. Treatment is quick, painless and easy, with real results seen in as few as 3-4 visits.”

Treatment programs offered by CMHCC are beneficial for both men and women and typically include six, 28-minute sessions, which are usually prescribed two times per week over the course of three weeks. During a treatment session, patients sit comfortably and fully clothed on the device, which has been described by some as a “sci-fi inspired lounge chair.” Once powered on, the device uses electromagnetic waves to create powerful muscular contractions equal to 11,000 Kegel exercises in one session. Confident Me Health Care Centers is thought to be the only medical practice in the United States to limit its practice to treating only urinary incontinence with this new technology.

The HIFEM therapy is administered under the guidance, and control of medical experts and all patients are seen by a physician before beginning therapy. The treatment is non-surgical, painless, and non-invasive. There is no limitation of activities or down time following treatment.

Yamaha Sonogenic SHS-300 Keytar Lets Everyone Jam Regardless of Musical Knowledge

Leave a comment


Yamaha SHS-300 Sonogenic

Yamaha SHS-300 Sonogenic

“Everyone who loves to listen to music imagines being in the band. With the Sonogenic SHS-300, they truly can,” says Ben Harrison, marketing manager, Digital Piano and Portable Keyboard, Yamaha Corporation of America.


BUENA PARK, Calif. (PRWEB)

Yamaha today introduced the Sonogenic SHS-300, a wearable “keytar” that empowers anyone to sound great playing along with their favorite songs, even if they’ve never picked up a musical instrument.

The instrument is the little brother to the SHS-500, first introduced at the NAMM music products convention in January 2019, where it earned a “Best in Show” award. Sonogenic ushered in an entirely new category of musical instrument, which brought a new level of spontaneity to the process of creating music for everyone who loves to listen to it, smashing the barrier to entry and turning passive enjoyment into active creativity.

Like the SHS-500, the SHS-300 can be played in the usual way as well, but its groundbreaking Jam function enables free-flowing performance without fear of ever hitting a wrong note. Musicians and non-musicians alike can enjoy a new level of interaction with the music they love — a level not achieved by any “rock hero” video game.

The Jam function works together with a free iOS or Android app called Chord Tracker, which analyzes the songs already stored in the music library of the connected mobile device and creates chord charts for them. Then, via a USB or wireless Bluetooth connection, it remaps the keys on the Sonogenic’s keyboard as a song plays, so that whatever keys are pressed are always in harmony with the chord of the moment. Even laying a forearm across the 37-note keyboard cannot cause a dissonant sound.

Further enhancing the Jam function are three musical modes in which it can operate. A mode called 1Finger is best for backing or “comping” parts with just one finger as it adds harmonies to whatever note is struck, Backing mode lets the player do the same with more fingers, and Melody mode is ideal for letting loose ripping solos.

The SHS-300 has 12 instrument Voices including synth leads, bass, and brass, piano, electric piano, organ, electric and acoustic guitars, strings, and even a dance kit that assigns different drum sounds across the keyboard. Because the Sonogenic doesn’t shift the timing of when notes are played, it offers a major benefit to those who sincerely want to learn to play keyboards but feel intimidated: They can begin by working on rhythm without having to think about pitch. As this increases their confidence, they can eventually turn Jam mode off if desired.

Audio output of the SHS-300 can be enjoyed through the built-in speaker or 1/8-inch stereo headphone jack. A pitch-bend wheel on the neck of the instrument allows for realistic synth-like expression while buttons next to it add vibrato and sustain, select Voices, and engage and disengage the Jam mode. Settings such as key transposition, tuning, touch response, and more are adjusted by pressing the Function button and then a keyboard key; functions are clearly labeled on the casing beneath the keyboard.

The SHS-300’s USB port may also be used to connect to a computer for MIDI communication with virtual instruments and recording software. And because the SHS-300 can be powered by four AA batteries or over USB, there’s neither place nor time where a spontaneous Jam session can’t happen.

“Everyone who loves to listen to music imagines being in the band,” says Ben Harrison, marketing manager, Digital Piano and Portable Keyboard, Yamaha Corporation of America. “With the Sonogenic SHS-300 — which brings most of the features of the SHS-500 in at a lower price — they truly can.”

Pricing and Availability

The Yamaha Sonogenic SHS-300 (MSRP $299.00) will be available exclusively at Amazon through the end of 2019. For more information, visit the Yamaha Booth at the 2020 NAMM Show in the Anaheim Marriott Hotel, Marquis Ballroom, January 16-19, 2020, or https://yamaha.io/2JBrUQD

Episcopal Relief & Development Partners with the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California to Provide Emergency Assistance to the Wildfires in Northern California

Leave a comment


wildfire smoke

“The Diocese of Northern California has deep ties with the impacted communities,“ said Lura Steele, Program Officer for the US Disaster Program. “Their existing relationships and disaster preparation enabled them to respond immediately to physical needs and to provide pastoral care.”


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Episcopal Relief & Development is partnering with the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California to provide food, water, gasoline and other emergency supplies to support vulnerable communities affected by the Kincade Fire and related power outages.

The Kincade Fire broke out northeast of Geyserville in Sonoma County, California on October 24. The fire quickly tripled in size due to unstable weather conditions, causing evacuations in the surrounding areas. As of Wednesday, October 30, more than 180 structures, including 86 single-family homes, had been destroyed. Over 77,000 acres have been scorched by the wildfire and more than 186,000 people have been ordered to evacuate. In an effort to help prevent additional fires, Pacific Gas & Electric turned off electricity to potentially affected areas, leaving approximately 1 million customers without power throughout northern California.

With the support of Episcopal Relief & Development, the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California is providing emergency assistance to vulnerable communities impacted directly by the fire and power outages. Diocesan staff and church leaders swiftly put into action emergency response plans to provide shelter to those who were evacuated in Healdsburg, Sebastopol and Santa Rosa, as well as respite for the firefighters combatting the fire. The diocese is also distributing gift cards to help evacuees, which include homeowners, renters, those without homes and undocumented workers, purchase clothing, water, food and other necessities.

The community of Grass Valley in Nevade County, California was particularly hard-hit by the power outages. Many people in the Nevada City surrounding area rely on the Interfaith Food Ministry of Emmanuel Episcopal Church. Episcopal Relief & Development and the Diocese of Northern California are supplying food to the ministry to replace goods that spoiled in the power outage and allowing the program to scale up to meet increased need. Clergy, lay staff and volunteers have opened their churches to distribute ready-to-eat meals for the community, and to serve as shelters and charging stations for those who need it. The diocese is also providing other critical supplies such as gasoline and water.

“The Diocese of Northern California has deep ties with the impacted communities,“ said Lura Steele, Program Officer for the US Disaster Program at Episcopal Relief & Development. “Their existing relationships and disaster preparation enabled them to respond immediately to physical needs and to provide pastoral care to the communities involved.”

Please continue to pray for the individuals and families affected by the Kincade Fire and other California wildfires. Donations to the US Disaster Fund will help those affected by this crisis.

About Episcopal Relief & Development:

For over 75 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been working together with supporters and partners for lasting change around the world. Each year the organization facilitates healthier, more fulfilling lives for more than 3 million people struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster and disease. Inspired by Jesus’ words in Matthew 25, Episcopal Relief & Development leverages the expertise and resources of Anglican and other partners to deliver measurable and sustainable change in three signature program areas: Women, Children and Climate.

Leave a comment


Our CE Mark submission is a significant milestone for Hemanext. Hemanext President & CEO Martin Cannon.


LEXINGTON, Mass. (PRWEB)

Hemanext Inc., a privately held medical technology company dedicated to improving patient outcomes through fewer and better red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, today announced CE Mark submission for HEMANEXT ONE®, the company’s initial product offering that is designed to provide a higher-quality blood product for transfusion patients.

The HEMANEXT ONE processing system reduces the fuel for oxidative damage prior to and during storage, and converts a unit of conventional, leukoreduced RBC into a transfusion-ready unit of HEMANEXT ONE RBC.

Ness, MD, Senior Director, Division of Transfusion Medicine and Professor of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Editor, Transfusion, the peer-reviewed journal of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) (2003-2018); Past President, AABB. “Improving the quality of RBCs could enhance patient care and simultaneously reduce the quantity of RBC units required to treat many diseases and conditions.”

Hemanext anticipates receiving CE Mark approval in the first half of 2020, with commercialization initiatives for the HEMANEXT ONE system in Europe commencing in the second half of the year. Hemanext also expects to submit a 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2020.

“Our CE Mark submission is a significant milestone for Hemanext. It is the culmination of years of research and collaborations with the transfusion medicine community in Europe,” said Hemanext President and CEO Martin Cannon. “We are grateful for the partnerships that have brought us another step closer to creating a world with fewer and better transfusions.”
