Local Hospital to Drive Patient Satisfaction Through New Dining Initiative

Leave a comment


One of the first impressions a hospital makes on their patients and visitors is the quality of their food. After lengthy discussions and research, it was easy to see that the values of Culinary Services Group aligned with those of T.J. Regional Health.

“I trust Culinary Services Group as a partner because they are big enough to support us and deliver on their promises, yet small enough to care.” – Jim Lee, Executive Vice President for Support Services at T.J. Regional Health

Culinary Services Group aims to drive patient satisfaction through fresh, new menus that align with current food trends. The company will use technology to improve the overall dining experience. For patients, bedside orders will soon be placed using tablets. The company will install a state-of-the-art Point-of-Sale System at the hospital’s cafeteria-style retail space and its two bistro-style cafes. The new system will not only track revenues accurately, but it will provide consumer insights allowing the company to tailor its menus and offerings to the surrounding community. The enhanced dining program also offers T.J. Regional the opportunity to give back to the local community by partnering with Culinary Services Group on community outreach opportunities.

“Community Outreach is one of the pillars of this organization, and the partnership with CSG will allow us to do even more outreach in the communities we serve,” Lee said.

Culinary Services Group first entered the Kentucky market in 2021 and is invested in growing its regional footprint. The food service company exclusively serves hospitals, senior living, and behavioral health facilities through a unique approach. Each location they serve receives a customized menu, tailored to the preferences of its patients and staff while accounting for regional preferences and cooking styles. The company is also at the forefront of new technologies and innovative methods of food service through touchscreen devices, state-of-the-art software, and even robotics.

Benmelstobart Plus Anlotinib and Chemotherapy Shows Benefit for Patients with Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Leave a comment


Extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer is a challenging malignancy to treat, with limited long-term survival benefits despite the promise of immunochemotherapy. The complex microenvironment of SCLC, characterized by immunosuppression, angiogenesis, and vascularization, hinders treatment effectiveness. To address these obstacles, Ying Cheng, MD, from Jilin Cancer Hospital in China developed a study to reprogram the tumor microenvironment and promote immune cell infiltration by combining benmelstobart and anlotinib with standard chemotherapy.

 In this multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized phase III trial, patients with first-line extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer were randomly assigned to receive either four cycles of benmelstobart, anlotinib, or placebo in combination with etoposide/carboplatin chemotherapy. This treatment was followed by maintenance therapy of benmelstobart + anlotinib, anlotinib alone, or placebo until disease progression or toxicity intolerance. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by an independent review committee (IRC) in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population.

Dr. Cheng and colleagues enrolled a total of 738 patients from 72 participating centers in China, with 246 patients assigned to the benmelstobart, anlotinib and chemotherapy arm and 247 patients assigned to the placebo and chemotherapy arm. As of the cutoff date (May 14, 2022), the median follow-up was 14.0 months.

The combination of benmelstobart, anlotinib, and chemotherapy demonstrated significant benefits compared to placebo and chemotherapy in terms of median PFS (6.9 months vs. 4.2 months), median OS (19.3 months vs. 11.9 months), objective response rate (81.3% vs. 66.8%), and duration of response (5.8 months vs. 3.1 months).

The safety profile of the benmelstobart, anlotinib, and chemotherapy regimen was manageable and tolerable, with grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events reported in 93.1% of patients in the treatment arm. The most common grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events included decreased neutrophil count, decreased platelet count, and decreased white blood cell count. Immune-related adverse events were also reported in a subset of patients.

“These results from the phase III trial are extremely encouraging, as the combination of benmelstobart, anlotinib, and chemotherapy achieved historically long overall survival and progression-free survival in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer,” said Dr. Ying Cheng, the presenter of the study. “This treatment approach demonstrates a significant survival extension over chemotherapy alone and provides a tolerable safety profile.”

Achieve Peak Wellness with SANESolution’s Doctor-Endorsed Throat Cleaner

Leave a comment


SANESolution, a leading provider of cutting-edge health solutions, is excited to announce the unveiling of its brand-new website, https://throatcleaner.com/. This platform will serve as a comprehensive hub for showcasing the company’s groundbreaking product, SANE Vitaae® – a doctor-formulated throat-cleaning supplement designed to support the body’s natural ability to combat throat phlegm.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SANESolution, a leading provider of cutting-edge health solutions, is excited to announce the unveiling of its brand-new website, https://throatcleaner.com/. This platform will serve as a comprehensive hub for showcasing the company’s groundbreaking product, SANE Vitaae® – a doctor-formulated throat-cleaning supplement designed to support the body’s natural ability to combat throat phlegm.

Vitaae is a natural solution to help combat throat phlegm caused by allergies, chronic cough, and other conditions in a safe and effective manner. This revolutionary throat-cleaning formula helps the body naturally soothe the neurological inflammation often responsible for such reactions.

Further, it is specifically designed to support the body’s natural ability to soothe inflammation in the brain, which can often lead to persistent coughing or throat clearing caused by excessive phlegm production.

“Chronic cough is a significant and concerning issue in clinical settings, said the Chief Medical Director at SANESolution, Matthew Olesiak, M.D. “However, scientific research suggests that it may be related to neuroinflammation caused by glial cells in the nervous system, which can lead to an increase in phlegm buildup and coughing.” (1)

Glial cells are immune cells of the central nervous system and, as such, play a crucial role in neuroinflammation, both acutely and chronically. Many viral infections, including influenza, impact microglia function and can trigger neuroinflammation. In addition, numerous clinical studies suggest that chronic or long-term inflammation can promote neurodegenerative diseases (2).

“The research is clear: neuroinflammation may harm your mental health by contributing to brain fog, memory lapses, and other indications of cognitive impairment, as well as neurodegenerative diseases. This makes logical sense,” said Jonathan Bailor, Founder and CEO of SANESolution. “But brain inflammation does more than simply affect cognition. According to the most recent revolutionary studies, it may have significant ties to obesity, persistent cough, excess throat phlegm, and potentially cardiovascular disease.” (3, 4, 5)

The Chief Medical Director at SANESolution, Matthew Olesiak, M.D., added, “We believe that proactive steps should be taken to help protect the brain and body from the insidious effects of neuroinflammation. That’s why we developed Vitaae®, a powerful supplement designed to nourish and support brain health.”

Vitaae® is powered by the natural and clinically-tested brain-supporting properties of citicoline. Research has confirmed that taking citicoline may provide a host of benefits: it can increase brain energy levels, enhance attention, and may even improve motor speed. Naturally occurring in the body, this powerful compound is believed to encourage proper brain function by boosting levels of phosphatidylcholine, a vital neurotransmitter. (6.7)

Dr. Olesiak’s groundbreaking research revealed an array of other essential nutrients shown to help moderate the natural brain inflammation response, thus supporting brain health and cognition – including folate, acetyl-l-carnitine, and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). His findings were incorporated into Vitaae, a new multi-factor supplement that provides people with a complete brain health formula.

“Science has given us the means to help the body naturally,” said Dr. Olesiak. “Vitaae® is a cutting-edge formula that combines the most effective and potent brain health nutrients scientifically shown to help support the body’s natural recovery systems so that it can effectively address chronic coughing and excess throat phlegm.”

Now available for purchase nationwide, throat-cleaning Vitaae® is a breakthrough health product that optimizes the body’s natural recovery response to brain inflammation while also supporting overall brain health, thus helping the body recover from symptoms like excess throat phlegm, chronic cough, brain fog, and cognitive dysfunction.
