These results were certified for Amada Senior Care of North Houston, a licensed home care agency owned and operated by Amy and Troy Tice.

I am proud of our accomplishments, awards and reputation, but we are not done. We will fight every day to make sure our seniors, veterans and anyone else who needs help has a way to find it.”

State surveyors conduct an on-site review as part of the three-day HHS survey process. During the review, the survey team ensures the visited agency is in compliance with the regulations of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Troy, Amy and the entire Amada North Houston team are dedicated to providing outstanding care that makes life safer, easier and more enjoyable for seniors in their community.

Silicon Valley Hair Institute Announces Update to FUE Transplant Information for California Patients Seeking Hair Loss Restoration

Leave a comment


FUE transplant California

FUE transplant California

Bay Area locals have to remember that we are a bit spoiled in Silicon Valley. New technology is so normal here we forget that other people in the state of California are not so lucky!


SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB)

Silicon Valley Hair Institute, the Bay Area leader in robotic hair transplantation at http://siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com/, is proud to announce a new post focused on information for California patients curious about Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The post explains that easy access to the newest advances in medicine nearby could be regular for Bay Area locals, but that easy access to medical breakthroughs might be more difficult for California residents living in other less technology-focused regions in the Golden State.

“Bay Area locals have to remember that we are a bit spoiled in Silicon Valley. New technology is so normal here we forget that other people in the state of California are not so lucky,” explained Miguel Canales, of Silicon Valley Hair Institute. “We care for patients who come from all over California just to get the innovative hair transplant technology Bay Area locals take for granted.”

California residents can review the Silicon Valley Hair Institute’s updated informational page on FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation at http://siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com/fue-hair-transplant/. Men and women from outside the Bay Area can visit the institute to receive the best FUE transplantation surgery in the state. Interested persons can also learn about the ARTAS robotic system to help in hair loss surgery at http://siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com/artas/. California residents in search of the latest treatment for hair loss can reach to the clinic for a confidential, no-obligation consultation.

Patients Travel Far and Wide to Receive the Best FUE Transplant Surgery in California

Here is the background for this release. California’s leadership in new technology could give the impression all Californians have easy access. It may be simple to attain innovative medicine in larger cities around the state. State residents of rural, more remote areas, however, might need to travel further to gain access to new medical breakthroughs. Men suffering from baldness, or women searching for the latest hair thickening treatments, may be willing to drive several hours for the best FUE transplant in California.

The Bay Area clinic provides California-wide support for hair loss treatments. Many cities and towns throughout the state may not offer access to the latest in FUE robotic technology. People suffering from hair loss can travel for hours from Truckee, Sacramento, Livermore, or Pleasanton to find help at one of the best hair transplant specialists in the Bay Area.

A team of hair loss specialists supports patients from all over the state of California. Innovative treatments, including PRP Therapy and FUE robotic technology, can help out-of-towners find answers to thinning hair. For these reasons, Silicon Valley Hair Institute announces an update to the FUE transplant informational page.

About Silicon Valley Hair Institute

Silicon Valley Hair Institute (http://siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com/), under the leadership of top-rated California hair transplant surgeon Miguel Canales MD, is one of the best facilities offering San Francisco Bay Area hair transplants. Dr. Canales provides the full range of advanced hair transplant and hair restoration procedures for Bay Area residents, from San Francisco to San Mateo to Palo Alto.

Cardinal Scale’s New SmartCan Digital Conversion System

Leave a comment


Cardinal Scale’s New SmartCan Digital Conversion System

Cardinal Scale’s New SmartCan Digital Conversion System

The NTEP-certified SmartCan features Fail-Safe mode which keeps your scale running in the event of a failed cell, SmartCal digital calibration adjustments, universal mounting brackets for easy field installation, and remote troubleshooting and scale monitoring through iSite software.


WEBB CITY, Mo. (PRWEB)

Digitize Your Scale with SmartCan

You can now digitize any existing analog scale using Cardinal Scale’s SmartCan analog-to-digital conversion system. SmartCan allows users to digitally monitor each individual load cell and identify cell failures quickly and effectively. The SmartCan system utilizes the advanced, internationally-standardized CAN (Controller Area Network) serial bus system to digitize the analog output signals from two or more independent load cells and send the data to the indicator.

The NTEP-certified SmartCan features Fail-Safe mode which keeps your scale running in the event of a failed cell, SmartCal digital calibration adjustments, universal mounting brackets for easy field installation, and remote troubleshooting and scale monitoring through iSite software. The compact enclosure size only requires minimal space. SmartCan is ideal for retrofitting existing analog scales or converting analog load cells to digital load cells. It may also be used with Guardian® hydraulic load cells.

SmartCan is housed in a compact, rugged weatherproof IP66 / NEMA 4 enclosure and doesn’t require cumbersome external power supplies, in most applications. The indicator software permits a maximum of 32 load cells that could be used in any combination with SmartCan (the homerun cable length, power supply, and sample rate may limit the number of load cells used, in some instances). There are seven different SmartCan boxes available for a wide range of configurations.

Versatile Applications

SmartCan may be used in a variety of different applications with new and existing truck scales, railroad scales, floor scales, bench scales, and batching systems.

Fail-Safe Mode

Cardinal Scale’s Fail-Safe feature with SmartCan allows the system to compensate for a failed load cell by mirroring the estimated value of the remaining cells to offset the failed cell. The Fail-Safe feature uses an algorithm to calculate an estimated value from the data of the remaining cells and creates a virtual load cell to replace the data from the down cell.

Troubleshoot through the Indicator

Cardinal Scale’s 225D Navigator and 825D Spectrum weight indicators easily interface with the SmartCan digital conversion system and provide onscreen diagnostics for load cell performance in real-time. The 825D makes corner and section trimming easier with its graphical, full-color display.

SmartCal®

The SmartCan system uses Cardinal Scale’s patented software algorithm called SmartCal® method of calibrating a scale. SmartCal® allows a quick calibration with no manual adjustments while the diagnostic software identifies real and potential system problems before they interrupt your weighing operations.

iSite Remote Monitoring

Cardinal Scale’s iSite is a cloud-based remote monitoring system for load cells connected to the SmartCan conversion box. Text and/or e-mail auto alerts can be sent for errors and warning events. Through secure online dealer access, scale diagnostics may be looked up remotely to quickly identify problems before they interrupt weighing operations.

NEST Toolkit Compatible

Authorized Cardinal Scale dealers may plug a NEST toolkit directly into the SmartCan box for additional onsite diagnostics. NEST allows you to view the diagnostics in your choice of millivolts or pounds. There are three display modes: signals display, minimum-maximum display, and signals minus zero reference display.

Onboard Diagnostics

The SmartCan system has onboard diagnostics that can be used by a technician to alert them of critical errors due to setup issues and hardware problems. The following diagnostics data is available and will be shown to the technician on the main weight screen of the 225D or 825D indicator:


  • Live (real time) Load Cell Weights

  • Minimum and Maximum Load Cell Weights

  • Deadload Shift (from original calibrated deadload)

  • Individual Load Cell Signal in Millivolts

  • DLC Controller Card Communication Error Count

  • iSite Status of Last Connection

PRMA Plastic Surgery Celebrates 25 Years of Providing Advanced Breast Reconstruction

Leave a comment


PRMA Plastic Surgery 25th Anniversary, San Antonio, TX, Advanced Breast Reconstruction

PRMA Plastic Surgery Celebrates 25th Practice Anniversary

To date, PRMA has performed over 9000 breast reconstruction surgeries, including over 8000 microsurgical free flap procedures, making PRMA one of the busiest breast reconstruction practices in the world.


SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB)

PRMA Plastic Surgery, a world leader in advanced breast reconstruction, celebrated their 25th anniversary on Friday, September 20th, 2019.

Twenty-five years ago, co-founders Dr. Peter Ledoux and Dr. Steven Pisano set out to change the lives of women affected by breast cancer by providing the most advanced forms of breast reconstruction to the San Antonio community.

Today, PRMA Plastic Surgery specializes in advanced breast reconstruction techniques with a focus on natural reconstruction using the patient’s own tissue, restoring breast sensation following a mastectomy through sensory nerve reconstruction, and surgical treatment options for patients suffering from debilitating effects of lymphedema.

Unlike traditional tissue “flap” techniques, PRMA specializes in procedures that preserve the patient’s muscle. This helps patients maintain their muscle function long term and makes recovery from surgery easier and faster.

The preferred reconstructive technique at PRMA, the DIEP flap, is the most advanced “natural” breast reconstruction option available today. Using the patient’s abdominal skin and fat to reconstruct a new breast, the DIEP flap procedure preserves the abdominal muscle, unlike the similar TRAM flap. Since all the abdominal muscle is saved, patients feel less pain after surgery, enjoy a faster recovery, and have a lower risk of abdominal complications such as bulging or hernia.

“It is an absolute honor to celebrate the 25th anniversary of PRMA. What started out as a small dream has transformed into something much larger than I could have imagined. We are blessed to have such an amazing team and I look forward to see how this practice transforms over the next 25 years,” stated Dr. Steven Pisano.

Dr. Peter Ledoux followed by saying, “This 25 years has gone by fast. What an honor to be a part of this team who has the same heart and goal of rebuilding lives after breast cancer.”

To date, PRMA has performed over 9000 breast reconstruction surgeries, including over 8000 microsurgical free flap procedures, making PRMA one of the busiest breast reconstruction practices in the world.

Since opening their doors in 1994, PRMA has grown to include a team of seven surgeons with two locations and is one of the most renowned breast reconstruction centers in the world.

About PRMA

PRMA Plastic Surgery in San Antonio, Texas, specializes in state-of-the-art breast reconstruction. Procedures offered include the DIEP flap, SIEA flap, thigh flaps, buttock flaps, fat grafting, lymphedema surgery, sensory nerve reconstruction and nipple-sparing mastectomy. PRMA is in-network for most US insurance plans and routinely welcomes patients from across the globe.

PRMA’s Mission

We are dedicated to promoting an environment of compassion, concern and support for every patient regardless of social or economic status and regardless of type of insurance. We will strive to not only support the patient and their family but also to support each other as the ever-changing field of medicine becomes more complex. Honesty and integrity, compassion and caring, make up the foundation of PRMA and at no point shall these principles be compromised.
