Weight Loss Surgery Benefits by Bolstered by Research into Bariatric Procedures and Childbirth, Says Dr. Feiz and Associates

Defeating severe obesity is healthy for moms and babies alike.

The research demonstrates that defeating obesity with the help of a weight-loss procedure is an overall boon to a patient’s health as well as her offspring’s.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

An October 16 article on WebMD reported on a recent study finding that obese women who undergo weight loss surgery before becoming pregnant decrease health risks to themselves and their babies. Los Angeles-based weight loss surgery specialists Dr. Feiz and Associates says that the research demonstrates that defeating obesity with the help of a weight-loss procedure is an overall boon to a patient’s health as well as her offspring’s.

The weight loss clinic says it’s no secret that when individuals struggling with obesity lose significant amounts of weight, their overall health and quality of life increases. Common conditions that are linked to obesity include type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. The clinic adds that all of these conditions can not only shorten individuals’ life expectancy but also affect the quality in which they are able to live out those years. The problem, of course, is that defeating obesity is a lot easier said than done.

While natural weight loss through proper diet and exercise is theoretically a simple matter of consuming fewer calories than one burns, there are a number of reasons why bariatric surgery appears to be necessary for the large majority of patients to defeat severe obesity. Dr. Feiz and Associates says that one reason involves the reality that obese individuals tend to produce higher amounts of a hormone called ghrelin, which spurs our desire to eat. As dieters begin losing weight, however, it gets worse because the production of the hormone increases ever further – the body is essentially preparing for a famine that is never going to come. The result is nagging feelings that are essentially identical to hunger and very difficult to ignore.

The clinic says that reducing ghrelin production is part of why such procedures as a sleeve gastrectomy have proven so powerful. The original premise of the procedure was simply to reduce the size of the stomach to make overeating uncomfortable and reduce the appetite. Over time, however, it became clear that removing roughly 75%-85% of the stomach also removes the area of the body that might be most responsible for ghrelin production. Thus, patients are discouraged from overeating while being less bothered by the feelings that make them want to overeat in the first place.

Dr. Feiz and Associates note that it’s crucial for prospective patients to realize that undergoing a weight loss procedure will not automatically fix all of their weight-related health issues and they still have to work at changing their relationship with food. The clinic says that with the aid of a weight loss procedure, however, reducing significant amounts of weight through diet becomes much easier to accomplish.

Coro Pittsburgh Announces New Leadership

Leave a comment



PITTSBURGH (PRWEB)

Coro Pittsburgh, the organization that works to advance ethical leaders and build leadership capacity in order to create a more connected and inclusive community, announced today the appointment of Selena Schmidt as Executive Director. Selena succeeds Sabrina Saunders Mosby, who served as the organization’s President since the spring of 2017.

Coro’s Board of Directors is welcoming Selena back to the organization as she had previously served as Leadership Development Director for Coro Pittsburgh.

Selena Schmidt is a social, civic and private sector entrepreneur and is known for high impact start-up scaling, spearheading initiatives and leading organizations focused on intersectionality, equity, and sustainable growth. Selena’s work has built cross-sector partnerships that have engaged community voices nationally and internationally in her roles as CEO of Optimized Ventures, Common Impact and Power of 32.

Most recently, Selena served as a senior leader in launching PA Health & Wellness, a $400M managed care company dedicated to improving access to services for those under and uninsured, serving 65,000 people across Pennsylvania.

Selena is co-founder in the CMU spin-out The Art of Democracy, which enables the authentic experiences and ideas of a diverse public to inform policy decisions.

This makes her a perfect leader as Coro embarks on a strategic building mode.”

20 years ago when Coro began serving Pittsburgh, the key challenge was training and retaining talent. Today, our regional challenges lie elsewhere. The region has cultural and economic gaps in areas like technology, healthcare, gender, race, and politics. Leveraging Coro’s strength for building a pipeline of talent is vital to drive our region’s future sustainability and growth.

“I’m honored, and I’m grateful to the board for the opportunity to lead this exceptional, essential organization of creative, dedicated and talented individuals,” said Schmidt. “Coro works to create an inclusive community where people of all backgrounds and circumstances participate in making our region more livable for everyone. I am deeply committed to Coro’s vision and commitment to building agile, community-connected leadership in all sectors. I am excited to work with the staff as we move into a new and exciting chapter in the organization’s continued success.”

Committed to equity, inclusion, and public service, Selena has served as Harvard Innovation Lab Social Innovation Coach for women founders and on numerous boards including: Strong Women Strong Girls, Coro National Strategic Advisory Committee, Social Venture Partners, NAWBO National PAC Board, and Global Pittsburgh. Selena is especially proud to have been on the team that elected the first African American woman to Allegheny County office. Since returning to Pittsburgh, she co-founded New Leaders Council Pittsburgh and is founding board Vice President of the Latino Community Center.

Emergency Dentist, Dr. Gary Ashton, Provides Around-the-Clock Care in Leesburg, VA

Cardinal Park Dental Care, in some cases, can even extract a tooth and place a dental implant in the same day.


Leesburg, VA (PRWEB)

Drs. Gary Ashton, Hugo Manrique, Christine Han and Nassir Barekzi of Cardinal Park Family Dental Care provide patients with the advantage of receiving immediate, around-the-clock treatment from an emergency dentist in Leesburg, VA. This enables individuals experiencing sudden changes in their oral health to get the compassionate care they need to minimize long-term problems associated with allowing dental emergencies to continue undiagnosed and untreated.

Emergencies and accidents involving the mouth can happen at any time. One of the most common complaints that causes people to seek the help of an emergency dentist is serious tooth pain that occurs without warning or accompanies a traumatic event. Tooth pain indicates a problem and should be taken seriously to avoid further complications. Other common reasons patients come for emergency dentistry services at Cardinal Park Family Dental Care include sports injuries and broken teeth.

The team at Cardinal Park Family Dental Care follows a practice of conservative health care and treatment whenever possible. This philosophy involves saving and restoring natural teeth whenever feasible. However, in some cases, tooth extraction may be necessary to permanently relieve tooth pain and properly manage teeth that are too decayed or damaged to contribute to oral health and hygiene.

Patients who require a tooth extraction may also choose to replace the missing tooth with a dental implant. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that replicates the function and appearance of natural teeth and offers long-term reliability. Cardinal Park Dental Care, in some cases, can even extract a tooth and place a dental implant in the same day.

Individuals who require treatment in the day or evening hours from an emergency dentist in Leesburg, VA are invited to call Cardinal Park Family Dental Care at 703-779-2296. Cardinal Park Family Dental Care has received the honor of being the “Best of Loudoun” in dentistry for seven years in a row.

What Is GAP Insurance And Why Should Drivers Buy This Coverage?

Leave a comment


News Image

“GAP insurance can protect drivers that remain indebted after their vehicles got stolen or totaled in a crash”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains the benefits of GAP auto insurance and why drivers need this coverage.

For more info and free quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/what-are-the-benefits-of-gap-insurance-and-when-you-need-it/

Purchasing a brand-new vehicle can be a very exciting moment for a driver. On the other hand, totaling the recently purchased car can be unpleasant for anyone. In this case, the insurance company will only reimburse the actual cash value of the vehicle at the time of the loss. This means that the driver will get less money than what he paid on the vehicle and he will remain indebted to the lienholder. In this situation, GAP insurance might be helpful. GAP insurance will pay for the difference that is between the actual cash value of a vehicle at the time of loss and what the driver owes to the bank or lender.

Drivers should purchase GAP insurance in the following situations:


  • The financed car depreciates quickly. New vehicles lose 20% of their value in the first year after the purchase. This means that after three years of driving, a regular vehicle will be worth only 40% of the original purchase price. However, some models depreciate even faster and they can lose 75% of their value after three years.

  • The driver has a long-term loan. Policyholders that took a loan on their vehicle that is longer than 60 months are strongly recommended to purchase GAP insurance. In their situation, it will take longer for the gap between what they owe on the vehicle and the actual cash value of that vehicle to disappear.

  • The vehicle is leased. Almost all lenders will require for GAP insurance to be purchased, alongside comprehensive and collision coverage.

  • The car is frequently used. Vehicles that are driven for more than 15,000 miles per year, depreciate more quickly.

  • If the driver wants to replace the lost car with a brand-new one. The comprehensive and collision coverage is enough to replace a lost vehicle with another one of similar age and condition. However, for some drivers, this is not enough and they want to obtain a brand-new vehicle instead. In this situation, GAP insurance is the answer.

By maintaining stable detection without being influenced by varying sensing distances, colors, materials, or surfaces, the E3AS sensors make selection, adjustment, and maintenance tasks easier than ever, improving commissioning and operation rates.

The E3AS family’s sensing distance of 1,500mm is five times longer than that of previous models, and the full sensing range of 50mm to 1,500mm eliminates the need for manufacturers to select different sensors for each application. The time-of-flight (TOF) detection method ensures high detection stability regardless of the characteristics of target objects, making sensor selection and adjustment easier than ever.

In addition, the use an antifouling coating on the sensing surface reduces false detection and minimizes maintenance needs in environments with oil, dust, or steam. Dirty sensing surfaces can result in false detections when conventional photoelectric sensors are used, causing unexpected recovery work after line stoppages and periodic cleanings to prevent future stoppages.
