“We’ve seen a large number of medical testing labs start using the system recently. With our HIPAA compliance and experienced onboarding team, the implementations have gone smoothly. It’s allowing these critical testing facilities to operate much more efficiently.”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB)
June 11, 2020

In an effort to maintain efficiency amidst surging demand, medical testing centers – both temporary and existing – have turned to the AppointmentPlus online appointment scheduling system for their antibody and viral testing programs.

Part of the standard playbook for overcoming a pandemic is widespread testing. As the U.S. continues to expand testing efforts, facilities are depending on critical software systems to aid their efforts. One such system is online scheduling.

While some established testing labs already offered online booking, most of the drive-through testing sites initially did not. This resulted in frustrated patients and exasperated workers because of long wait times and insufficient staffing. The sites were simply not prepared for the demand.

Thus, many of these provisional facilities switched to having patients book testing appointments online. This single process change transformed a chaotic environment into an orderly, controlled operation. Indeed, a director in charge of testing from a large county in New Jersey noted, “The AppointmentPlus scheduling system was critical to our success.”

Many existing testing centers that had not previously used online scheduling have also switched as a result of the pandemic. Patients and employees at these walk-in centers had experienced the same frustrations with long wait times and overworked staff. Now, each person needing to be tested has an appointed time and waiting has been minimized

AppointmentPlus CEO, Bob La Loggia, said, “We’ve seen a large number of medical testing labs start using the system recently. With our HIPAA compliance and experienced onboarding team, the implementations have gone smoothly. The application is allowing these critical testing facilities to operate much more efficiently.”

AppointmentPlus is based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Millions of healthcare appointments are booked every month through the system, including medical testing, flu shots, blood donations, and more. Nearly a billion appointments have been booked since inception. The application is utilized by businesses and institutions ranging from local governments to the Fortune 500.

Rheumatoid arthritis affects millions of individuals, with traditional treatment options often not working well and containing numerous side effects. For instance, Methotrexate is used often for RA patients and while it can help, it has significant toxic effects.

Stem cell therapy for rheumatoid arthritis in Mexico, on the other hand, offers excellent outcomes while being extremely safe. R3’s Center in Tijuana has successfully performed hundreds of regenerative cases for arthritis, neuropathy, stroke, dementia, COPD, organ failure and autoimmune diseases.

According to R3 Founder David Greene, MD, MBA, “Our new stem cell therapy program for RA includes upwards of 200 million stem cells. Numbers matter when it comes to outcomes for autoimmune disease, so we’ve made sure that patients receive what’s needed in a safe manner with expert providers!”

The process is not only straightforward, but also easy for patients. Starting with a free phone consultation, patients will find out if they are a candidate. Then there are two programs to choose from, one involves a five day treatment, and the other one involves four treatments over a year.

R3 International offers VIP escort transportation from San Diego to and from the treatment center. The biologics used are exceptionally safe, with the lab quality assurance standards exceeding FDA standards in the US. In addition, no preservative is necessary which means cell viability exceeds 95%!

When it comes to pricing, Dr. Greene added, “I created R3 International so we could offer effective treatment with very large cell numbers for a fraction of the cost in the US or Panama. The quality of care is phenomenal, cost effective and very safe!”

Dr. William Lane, Oral Surgeon in Sandwich and Plymouth, MA, Uses Advanced Healing Techniques

In our practice, the patient experience is paramount… Platelet-rich plasma helps keep patients feeling comfortable after their surgery and shortens the time they need to heal.

Sandwich, MA (PRWEB)
June 10, 2020

Lane Oral Surgery improves the healing process for surgical patients in Sandwich and Plymouth, MA with platelet-rich plasma. Platelet-rich plasma is a healing compound derived from the patient’s own blood that helps the body heal and regrow bone at a faster rate and with better end results. Often, this procedure is performed during a bone grafting treatment to help patients become candidates for dental implants and replace missing or failing teeth.

“In our practice, the patient experience is paramount. We want every patient to feel safe and comfortable from the very beginning of their relationship at Lane Oral Surgery,” says Dr. William Lane. “Platelet-rich plasma helps keep patients feeling comfortable after their surgery and shortens the time they need to heal.”

What makes platelet-rich plasma so beneficial is that the compound is created from the patient’s own blood. This means there is no chance of rejection by the body. Through just a small sample of drawn blood, patients can experience the benefits of this treatment. This sample is spun through a centrifuge to separate the platelets before inserting them into the treatment site. These growth factors can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, including bone grafting, gum grafting, dental implants and oral surgery.

Bone grafting is one of the most common procedures that takes advantage of platelet-rich plasma. By combining the plasma with the bone graft, patients will experience a faster regrowth of needed bone and improved quality of that bone. Proper bone volume is necessary to ensure teeth do not shift within the mouth or become loose. Additionally, an adequate amount of bone is needed to have dental implants placed. The bone supports the implant post, keeping it firmly held within the jaw.

Dental implants are used to replace missing or failing teeth. This advanced procedure often requires multiple steps prior to implant placement, including bone grafting. Dr. Lane will utilize platelet-rich plasma throughout the dental implant process, including during the grafting and implant surgery to shorten treatment time and improve the results of care. Patients who receive dental implants along with platelet-rich plasma treatment often report a quicker return to proper health and function.

Those interested in learning more about Lane Oral Surgery or who would like to make an appointment to discuss oral surgery and the use of platelet-rich plasma at the Sandwich, MA or Plymouth, MA practices are encouraged to schedule a consultation by visiting http://www.laneoralsurgery.com or calling 508-746-8700.

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Michael Cunningham as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson

PLEASANTON, Calif. (PRWEB)
June 10, 2020

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Michael Cunningham M.D., Central Ohio Urology Group in Worthington, OH, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Cunningham has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Michael Cunningham as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “This achievement has helped many patients experience durable, long- term relief from the burdensome symptoms of BPH while preserving sexual function*1,2.”

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.

Howell Michigan Podiatrist & Foot Doctor Tomasz Biernacki discusses Achilles tendinitis and heel pain treatment.

“It is possible that the people who develop flat feet and plantar fasciitis can have further knee pain, hip pain and lower back pain. This can lead to permanent arthritis and difficulty wearing shoes or walking.”

HOWELL, Mich. (PRWEB)
June 10, 2020

Howell, Michigan foot doctor and podiatrist Tomasz Biernacki discusses plantar fasciitis, heel pain & Achilles tendonitis. At Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialist of Michigan the focus is on non-surgery treatment vs. the need for surgery in Livingston County. “Patients rarely, if ever, will need surgery after trying some of the non-surgery treatment available. There have been amazing advances in non-surgical treatment,” states Dr. Tom Biernacki.

Dr. Tomasz Biernacki states that, “If plantar fasciitis, heel pain and Achilles tendinitis are caught relatively early, this will prevent permanent arthritis from developing. This can keep the foot from being unable to fit into good supportive shoes in the future.”

Plantar fasciitis, heel pain and Achilles tendinitis are all related to each other. These are structures related in keeping you walking normally while they insert into the bottom in the back of the heel. If one of these structures is tight or injured, it will prevent the other ones from working as well. This can then lead to knee and hip pain if not corrected. Dr. Tom Biernacki says, “Through simple office treatments, low cost orthotics and stretching devices we have had a lot of success rapidly improving foot pain.”

Dr. Biernacki further states, “It is estimated that the people who develop flat feet, plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis can then have further knee pain, hip pain and lower back pain. This can lead to permanent arthritis and difficulty wearing shoes or walking.”

The podiatrists and foot doctors at Advanced Foot and Ankle Specialists of Howell Michigan have developed a treatment algorithm for diagnosing and treating foot and ankle pain with both surgery and without surgery. Most of the time treatment can be achieved without having to pursue surgery or any type of expensive treatment plans or methods.

Dr. Tomasz Biernacki is a practicing podiatric foot and ankle surgeon at Advanced Foot and Ankle specialists of Howell Michigan and Advanced foot and ankle specialists of Howell Michigan and Brighton Michigan pride themselves on providing comprehensive the care and working as a multispecialty team. The four doctors at this practice are on staff at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Livingston, St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Brighton, and St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Ann Arbor. Working as part of this large multidisciplined team, they can work with internal medicine doctors, primary care doctors, endocrinologists and vascular surgery specialist to provide comprehensive care.

Advanced foot and ankle specialists have four different doctors within their practice: Dr. Tom Biernacki, Dr. John Stevelinck, Dr. Marc Bonanni and Dr. Danielle Meyka-Blanchard. All podiatrists foot doctors are on staff at St. Joseph Mercy hospitals in Ann Arbor, Howell and Brighton Michigan. They pride themselves on serving Livingston County and Washtenaw County.
