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.

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 gave families and their children a safe and familiar environment to celebrate a holiday they may otherwise not be able to take part in – all while practicing behaviors and skills they work on in therapy,” said Megan Romero, Regional Manager for Total Spectrum.

What Are The Most Common Car Insurance Claims In The United States?

Leave a comment


News Image

“Thefts and minor accidents are among the most common filed claims by policyholders. Policyholders that don’t want to have their premiums increased should avoid filing claims for minor damage”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents the most common car insurance claims.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/the-most-common-auto-insurance-claims-in-the-united-states/

Many drivers can have questions regarding on what car insurance claims are more likely to be filed at the insurers. It is good to know in what car accidents where a driver is involved it is necessary to file a claim.

The following are the most common car insurance claims in the US:


  • Minor accidents. Accidents like fender benders, where the damage done to a vehicle is minimal and there are no injuries, are among the most common filed claims. Even if these types of claims are common and the insurers don’t have to pay too much, the premiums of the policyholders that file such claims will rise anyway, especially if multiple claims are filed in a short period of time. To avoid paying more on their premiums, drivers should support paying the minor damages done to their vehicles from their own pockets.

  • Windshield damage. It takes just a rock to kick up from another vehicle to smash a windshield. The windshield can also be shattered in an accident. Drivers that carry comprehensive coverage will be reimbursed with the costs to repair or replace the damaged windshield.

  • Vandalism. In some areas, vandalism can be quite common and drivers frequently find that their vehicles got smashed with a baseball bat, keyed, broken into, or vandalized in another way. Comprehensive coverage will reimburse acts of vandalism. However, drivers that file too many claims in a short period of time will have their premiums increased by their insurers.

  • Storm damage. The damage from hail and floods can be quite severe, and there are many cases where vehicles ended up being declared as totaled. Drivers that live in areas where dangerous storms are frequent should take some extra measures to protect their vehicles.

  • Single-vehicle collisions. Collisions with inanimate objects are among the most commonly filed claims. Many unlucky drivers suffered collisions with objects such as street lamps, fence posts, or mailboxes.

  • Whiplash. This type of injury occurs when the neck is jerked forward in a quick motion. It can happen during rear-end collisions or in any type of car accident. Depending on the severity of this injury, victims may require medical care.

  • Theft. Drivers that got their cars stolen will be reimbursed if they have comprehensive coverage. However, they will not get a check with the value of a brand-new vehicle. Instead, they will be reimbursed with the market value of the vehicle at the time it got stolen. If the stolen vehicle was financed, then the policyholder will have to pay the difference between the amount he owes to the bank and the amount the insurer will payout.

Monster Tree Service Awards Territory in Michigan

Leave a comment



PINCKNEY, Mich. (PRWEB)

Monster Tree Service, the nation’s first and fastest-growing tree service franchise, is expanding into Michigan. Recently featured by SUCCESS magazine, Thrive Global, and Franchise Times, the Monster Tree Service franchise continues to build on its rapid three-year franchise system growth.

Business entrepreneur Michael Porter has purchased the rights to a Monster Tree Service Territory in Ann Arbor, Michigan, covering Pinckney, South Lyon, Brighton, Ann Arbor and surrounding areas. Porter is already getting down to business with a unique marketing strategy that combines his entrepreneurial ambitions with his passion for University of Michigan football.

Porter sponsors a 30-minute weekly segment called the “Monster Moment of the Game” on Sports Talk radio 1050 AM, which covers Michigan Wolverines football. A lifelong Michigan fan, Mike gets to talk about his business and big plays of the game, every week. The show is fun and profitable for Porter!

“I’ve done work for the head coach, Jim Harbaugh, and other local celebrities,” says Porter. “I routinely get calls from fellow Michigan fans who heard me on the radio and need work done on their properties. After we schedule their Monster Tree Service work, we’ll talk football. It’s a great way to connect with the community.”

Josh Skolnick, CEO and Founder of Monster Tree Service, is confident that Porter will be a tremendous asset to the Monster Tree Service franchise.

“Michael is a perfect fit for the Monster Tree Service brand,” says Skolnick. “His deep understanding of business, incredible work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit makes him a great addition to our team. I can’t wait to see his growth in the coming years.”

Monster Tree Service is the only franchise tree company capitalizing on the under-served $17 billion tree service industry. Monster Tree Service has achieved consistent year-over-year, 5 percent growth since 2009, resulting in a $10+ million business. Because it’s a high-upside opportunity, and a recession-proof business, Monster Tree Service expects to achieve $100 million in sales by 2021.

“There are almost 100 lakes around Ann Arbor,” says Porter. “We specialize in big tree removals on lake properties. The homes are so tightly packed along the lakefronts that we routinely bring in a crane and lift the tree right over the home. We even did one tree removal by kayak! It can be very challenging, but we have a team of professionals with the knowledge and experience to deal with this unique concern in our community. We are also excited to offer our wide array of services, including, plant health care, tree and shrub pruning and more.”
