There are many stretch fabrics in this collection offering designers spandex-free options. Sorona® polymer fibers offer the perfect comfort stretch performance without breaking down overtime, due to heat, UV rays, or chlorine exposure meaning clothes continue to look, feel and perform great each time you wear them.

Veran launches new navigated triple needle brush and new navigated catheter to help physicians diagnose and guide treatment of early stage lung cancer

Leave a comment

SPiN Thoracic Navigation System™

“Our new tip-tracked instruments provide additional flexibility to help physicians reach and guide treatment for early stage cancer when patients have the best prognosis.”


NEW ORLEANS (PRWEB)

Veran Medical continues its mission to help physicians diagnose and treat early stage lung cancer with the launch of two, new navigated instruments. These devices are designed to help diagnose and guide treatment of small suspicious nodules, likely to be early stage lung cancer. These new tip-tracked tools will be launched at the annual American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) annual meeting in New Orleans, LA this week.

Veran Medical is launching their Always-On Tip Tracked® Triple Needle Brush, which is designed to sample lesions both inside and outside of an airway. This electromagnetic tip-tracked tool will help physicians take more samples to assist in the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Since this new instrument will be tip-tracked, physicians will not need to use fluoroscopy during sampling.

Veran Medical is also debuting and launching a 180-degree SPiN Access Catheter™ that is used to gain access for biopsy and/or therapy delivery. This tip-tracked catheter will allow a bronchoscopist to utilize a catheter-based approach with the added benefits of advanced mapping, respiratory gating, tip-tracked instrument sampling, and the ability to reach targets outside an airway with a seamless conversion to a percutaneous approach.

“The expanding adoption of lung cancer screening has given us a real opportunity to catch cancer earlier and save lives, but only if we can help physicians reach the smallest nodules,” said Veran Medical CEO Jason Pesterfield. “Our new tip-tracked instruments provide additional flexibility to help physicians reach and guide treatment for early stage cancer when patients have the best prognosis.”

Veran’s next generation SPiN Thoracic Navigation System™ offers an industry leading precision thoracic guidance platform that allows lung specialists to seamlessly transition between a navigated endobronchial approach and a navigated transthoracic approach utilizing SPiN Perc™, to help physicians diagnose lung cancer earlier. A published clinical study utilizing a multi-modality approach, including Veran’s SPiN System™ and SPiN Perc™, have demonstrated a 92% diagnostic yield.

Lung Cancer remains the number one cancer killer worldwide. 94 million current or former smokers remain at elevated risk in the U.S. alone. More than 8 million people in the U.S. currently meet the criteria for lung cancer screening. When suspicious lesions are discovered, patients need answers. But mounting clinical data suggests that a large percentage of the hundreds of thousands of bronchoscopies performed every year on suspected lung cancer patients are non-diagnostic—delaying potential lifesaving therapy.

About Veran Medical Technologies

Veran is a privately held medical device company headquartered in St. Louis, MO. The company’s mission is to empower physicians to diagnose cancer earlier and to enable precision therapy to save lives. In the United States, lung cancer kills more people each year than breast, prostate, pancreatic and colon cancers combined.

Veran has developed and commercialized an FDA cleared, next generation electromagnetic thoracic navigation platform called the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System™. Veran’s breakthrough technology has been adopted by leading cancer centers throughout the United States. Veran provides physicians with a full line of bronchoscopic brushes, needles, forceps and steerable catheters with tiny electromagnetic sensors embedded in the tips for precise navigation. The combination of these proprietary Always-On Tip Tracked® instruments and Veran’s exclusive patient respiratory gating technology enables physicians to accurately access lung nodules by accounting for nodule movement during patient breathing, a common challenge for lung specialists.

Another challenge lung specialists face is that approximately 40% of lung nodules lie outside of an airway, making them very difficult to reach endobronchially, and traditionally requiring an additional procedure. Veran’s SPiN Thoracic Navigation System™ is the first and only FDA cleared technology that enables Pulmonologists or Thoracic Surgeons the ability to safely and accurately access lung nodules outside of an airway using SPiN Perc™, a navigated transthoracic needle. With SPiN Perc™, Veran combines endobronchial navigation with percutaneous navigation, allowing physicians to access all lung nodules in a single procedure, regardless of nodule size or location. This eliminates the cost and risk of unnecessary procedures and empowers physicians to provide a same day diagnosis for their patients. The early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer has been proven to save lives.

Legacy Oaks of Sacramento Hosts Free Memory Care Workshops

Leave a comment


Staff member and resident looking at photos and tools.

Legacy Oaks of Sacramento team member and resident engaging. Life engagement is one of the 5 directional paths of the Montessori Moments in Time program.

We understand the challenges you face and know that it is essential for you to have support, education, and an understanding of how important it is to take care of yourself.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Currently under the management of Meridian Senior Living (Meridian), Legacy Oaks of Sacramento Assisted Living and Memory Care (Legacy Oaks) is hosting Caregiver Café, a monthly workshop founded on principles from Meridian’s exclusive memory care program. These monthly workshops are vital as the global impact of dementia is staggering. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, as of 2015 there were 9.9 million new cases world-wide with one diagnosed every 3 seconds. With that in mind, all of us will be affected by Alzheimer’s in one way or another. Understanding the disease has become increasingly important in helping afflicted family members and loved ones experience better outcomes.

Caregiver Café is based on Montessori Moments in Time (MMIT), Meridian’s distinctive memory care programming, to offer families and caregivers strategies to cope with challenging times. The goals of MMIT at Legacy Oaks are to enhance living for those with memory challenges by using the five directional paths. Each directional path has the resident and family in mind to encourage independence and helps deal with the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. These paths include Family Connections, Health and Wellness, Dining Experience, Life Engagement, and Team Promise. Family Connections focus on the well-being of our families through social gatherings, volunteer opportunities, support, and education. Health and Wellness is based on providing satisfying experiences, promoting independence, and encouraging positive behavior while maintaining respect and dignity. The Dining Experience leverages meals as a time to reminisce, create new memories, maximize independence, and promote socializing, all in an inviting environment. Life Engagement includes scheduled programs that support the whole person allowing residents to function at their highest potential, giving them a sense of purpose and overall well-being. Team Promise focuses on developing care partnerships through ongoing education and training.

“When someone in the family has dementia, it changes everything,” states Sue Johnston, VP Program Development. “We understand the challenges you face and know that it is essential for you to have support, education, and an understanding of how important it is to take care of yourself.”

The Caregiver Café program offers an opportunity for caregivers of loved ones who suffer from Alzheimer’s or dementia to participate in a forum to ask questions while being surrounded by others going through their same situation. Legacy Oak’s onsite experts serve as a resource to provide support for the caregivers and to help them better understand their loved one’s condition. Caregiver Cafés are held on the last Wednesday of every month from 6pm-7pm at Legacy Oaks located at 1922 Morse Avenue in Sacramento, CA. Complimentary coffee and snacks are provided. Upcoming Caregiver Café topics include: Alive Inside featuring a Music and Memory Program on October 30th and Tips for the Holidays on November 27th.

Since workshop space is limited, interested participants should call (916) 822-7328 to R.S.V.P. at least one day before the event. For more information about Legacy Oaks, visit: legacyoaksofsacramento.com.

Top Factors That Influence Car Insurance Rates The Most

Leave a comment


News Image

“Determining car insurance rates involves analyzing numerous factors, from demographic factors, personal factors, the car’s safety rating, coverage options up to employment status. Nowadays, companies now use smart rates calculators that do the math”, said Russell Rabichev, IMC


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that explains the main influential factors for car insurance rates.

For more info and free auto insurance quotes, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/factors-that-influence-your-car-insurance-risk-profile/

By insuring a driver, companies take a risk. If the driver is involved in a covered event and files a claim, the insurance company will have to financially compensate him. Statistics help companies detect cars and drivers more likely to cause the company losses. Insurance companies carefully analyze a series of factors considered extremely relevant for a person’s risk profile. Find out the top influential factors and get free car insurance quotes online from http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com.


  • Driving history. Insurance companies are interested in two things: years of experience behind the wheel and recent traffic violations. Online questionnaires will ask about the driver’s license or permit and its status (valid/active or suspended). Furthermore, clients will be asked when they’ve got their license (at what age or exact year). Next, the client will be asked to answer if he or she committed any traffic violation in the past 3-5 years or were involved in an accident.

  • The quoted vehicle. Insurance companies ask about the car make and model, plus body-type, in order to get statistical data about price, numbers of accidents with that model involved and car theft frequency. The price difference between a Sedan and an SUV is significant. The Actual Cash Value is also calculated based on the age of the model.

  • Auto Insurance history. Car insurance companies ask about car coverage history, especially if the client has or had coverage with them, in order to check how long the client tends to stay with the same company. Furthermore, the client will be asked about the last maximum liability coverage (if the client was previously insured).

  • Marital status. On average, married people get better rates when compared with single people with similar ages, backgrounds, and vehicles. Married people are seen as more responsible. Being divorced or separated has the opposite effect.

  • Education level. Education plays an important role in getting better rates and persons with at least a college degree are also seen as more responsible and able to focus on the driving task ahead. Also, students can apply for various programs and access dedicated discounts.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website.

The Local Vapor Announces Support of Governor Tom Wolf’s Marijuana Legalization Initiative

Leave a comment


The Local Vapor in Doylestown, PA

The Local Vapor, Bucks County’s upmarket vapor shop, today announced its support of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s ongoing marijuana legalization efforts.

“We believe Governor Wolf’s support of marijuana legalization, both medical and recreational, bodes well for mindful, education-focused businesses like us.” — Ken Cala, Co-Owner and Executive Director, The Local Vapor


DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (PRWEB)

The Local Vapor, Bucks County’s leading retailer of premium e-liquids, vaping hardware and CBD products since 2014, today announced its support of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s ongoing marijuana legalization efforts. The shop has carried CBD vape oils, as well as non-vapor CBD products derived from hemp, since 2015.

“As a leading voice in Bucks County’s vaping community, we hold a responsibility to help shape public perception of vapor products in a constructive, facts-based manner — particularly when it comes to the various forms and applications of cannabis,” said Ken Cala, Co-Owner and Executive Director of The Local Vapor. “We believe Governor Wolf’s support of marijuana legalization, both medical and recreational, bodes well for mindful, education-focused businesses like us.”

In September, Governor Wolf proposed a plan to legalize marijuana beyond medical uses, calling for the decriminalization of nonviolent cannabis-related crimes as well as the legalization of adult recreational marijuana use. The announcement followed Lt. Governor John Fetterman’s statewide recreational marijuana tour, which helped the administration understand Pennsylvania residents’ views on whether or not marijuana should be legalized.

Since signing the bill to legalize medical marijuana use in Pennsylvania in 2016, Wolf’s administration has worked to make medical marijuana more accessible for PA residents, announcing a total of 100,000 patient certifications issued as of April 2019. The availability of medical marijuana corresponds with the rise of non-psychoactive cannabidiol products, with many consumers now using CBD for anxiety treatment, pain management, and an array of other uses.

In response to this market trend, The Local Vapor has expanded their CBD offerings to include products like CBD gummies. The shop also promotes several vapor-free CBD product variants that can be applied topically or ingested orally.

“Our culture has made a lot of progress in de-stigmatizing responsible use of cannabis. Lots of our customers use CBD for anxiety and other health concerns, but it’s clear that there’s a bigger shift happening,” Cala said. “It’s important to us to be a part of that conversation as we continue to dispel misinformation in our industry and fight substance abuse.”

The announcement comes on the heels of two Pennsylvania state senators introducing Senate Bill 350 — also known as the Adult Use Cannabis bill — in Harrisburg on Tuesday. The bill, if passed into law, would legalize consumer and recreational use of marijuana in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

About The Local Vapor

The Local Vapor is a locally-owned, community-minded vapor shop offering only the highest quality vaping liquids, eCigarettes, CBD vape oils and non-vapor CBD products. It is widely regarded as the best vapor shop for conscious consumers in Bucks County and the Greater Philadelphia area. Founded in 2014, The Local Vapor seeks to promote safe vaping practices, provide expert product knowledge, and encourage alternatives to smoking.
