Leave a comment


Dr. James M. Wiener, Owner and Founder of Primadent, A South Jersey Dental DSO Company.

Primadent provides high quality dental care in a gentle and efficient manner, with the ultimate patient experience.


CHERRY HILL, N.J. (PRWEB)

Primadent, A Premiere Dental DSO located in South Jersey, led by founder/ owner, Dr. James Wiener, DMD, is actively expanding their business through acquisitions in the South Jersey Market. At present, the company has 5 locations and will be adding on an additional 2 more this year. Their goal is to aggressively grow and have 10-20 locations in a 2-3 year period and become a mid sized DSO company in the New Jersey market.

“The marketplace is changing now and there are a lot of dentists selling their offices and there are a lot of staff out there looking for employment, so the KPI’s line up perfectly with our vision,” states founder, Dr James Wiener. In fact, through this pandemic which has kept all his locations closed, Wiener has been working at a feverish pace full time, to on board new locations and staff, especially dentists. “You really need to have a handle on the dental market and figure out exactly what’s going on, and capitalize on the trends,” he says.

Dr Wiener started his company in 2000 with a vision and a business plan. Twenty years in and with an unrivaled work ethic, he has built his dental company to 5 locations, with over 40 employees and 9 dentists. The company plans to emerge as a mid sized dental DSO in the marketplace in a defined period of time. Recently, he has recently taken on the role as CEO and Chief Clinical Director of the company. He works 80 hours plus/week, never takes any days off, and is fully focused on building his empire.

Primadent has created a unique feature that separates them from the competition and enables them to excel in the dental marketplace. It is the Ultimate Patient Experience, that takes each patient on personalized journey throughout the dental treatment process. This begins with the initial phone call and continues from first visit to the actual dental treatment and exit. They make this an exceptional experience to ensure patient retention. Primadent also has excellent internal marketing programs, that include their own in house dental discount plan, Share A Smile Cards and Primadent Gift Cards for VIP patients. They simply provide a total encompassing experience unrivaled in the marketplace.

“We have built a very strong culture within our company with patients and staff, which accounts for a lot of our success. I grew up middle class and always had a job when I was young, and always hustled to make a buck. Even now that I’m older, I still maintain the strong work ethic and our cultural values remain the same, which is a big driver for the company. Culture and revenues go hand in hand. And success comes with hard work and perseverance, and by being honest and taking care of your people,” states Dr Wiener.

This emerging dental company sees wonderful things ahead in the near future, as they come out of the Covid-19 experience. Primadent is poised for fast growth and success, and they are a company to definitely watch in the South Jersey area.

NeoTract Designates Dr. Ike Oguejiofor as UroLift® Center of Excellence

Leave a comment


News Image

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Ike Oguejiofor 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)

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Ike Oguejiofor, M.D., Associated Urological Specialists in Chicago Ridge, IL, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Oguejiofor 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. Ike Oguejiofor 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.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated, the Interventional Urology Business Unit is dedicated to developing innovative, minimally invasive and clinically effective devices that address unmet needs in the field of urology. Our initial focus is on improving the standard of care for patients with BPH using the UroLift System, a minimally invasive permanent implant system that treats symptoms while preserving normal sexual function*1,2.

The i2b2 tranSMART Foundation receives grant to advance research on the COVID-19 virus

Leave a comment


Our long-term goal is to collaborate with the i2b2 tranSMART Foundation across its open source communities . . . to have a measurable and enduring impact on the acceleration of medical science and healthcare technology innovation


WAKEFIELD, Mass. (PRWEB)

The i2b2 tranSMART Foundation, a global non-profit open-source foundation advancing the development of clinical and translational research through effective collaboration, has been awarded a grant to support the initial deployment of three key initiatives to advance COVID-19 research.

Professor Isaac Kohane, Chairman of the Department of BioMedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School and Chairman of the i2b2 tranSMART Foundation Board of Directors, said, “This significant grant marks a milestone for the Foundation as it joins the global community in offering significant new tools for the research community in their quest to find methods to treat patients and prevent future infections of the COVID-19 virus.”

The global COVID-19 research initiatives are focused on providing the following capabilities:


  • tranSMART for Genomics Data and Analysis – within the next month, a public version of the tranSMART Platform v19 will be made available with existing public datasets of COVID-19, SARS and MERS genomics data. Research groups around the world will be invited to add their datasets. This project is a collaboration with Axiomedix. In making this data accessible across the global research community, researchers can directly examine previous studies and adjust and improve their planned studies and more quickly complete and evaluate their new findings. This genomic data and analysis will help to speed the path to further understand the virus, identifying better diagnoses and treatment and ultimately lead to more effective vaccines.

  • Searchable online profiles of researchers around the world studying COVID-19 – Since January, more than 6,000 journal articles from nearly 25,000 authors have been published about COVID-19. The Foundation will quickly deploy a website that contains searchable online profiles of every researcher worldwide and visualizations showing how they are connected using “Profiles,” an open source program that creates a rapid research-ready portal. Researchers across the world can identify scientists conducting similar and complementary work and to potentially share results for more efficient and faster time to impact.

  • Harnessing the combined power of i2b2 and tranSMART query and analysis of clinical and genomics data – The organizations will work to improve the interoperability of i2b2 and tranSMART and streamline the installation process to help institutions join a growing community of sites that are leveraging their EHR and genomic data for COVID-19 research. This project, when completed, will offer the full power of i2b2 and tranSMART to be used by research groups to provide a significantly expanded suite of tools and analyses. This is the first step in realizing the vision that led to the merger of the i2b2 and tranSMART Foundation in 2017.

The funding for these projects was donated by Dell Technologies, in line with the company’s focus on supporting those working to treat and contain COVID-19 around the world.

“These projects will each have a significant impact for the research teams who are working on COVID-19,” said Diane Keogh, Executive Director of the i2b2 tranSMART Foundation. “We have been planning these projects but have not had sufficient funding to date. We can now deliver the first phases of all three within this year and integrated together they will not only help ongoing COVID-19 research projects but will help the research community in the future.”

David Dimond, Healthcare-Life Sciences Chief Innovation Officer, Dell Technologies, said, “We are pleased to be able to support the acceleration of clinical and translational research across the globe to address the immediate challenges of COVID-19, while laying the groundwork to tackle future pandemics. Our long-term goal is to collaborate with the i2b2 tranSMART Foundation across its open source communities who are sharing clinical, genomic, complex waveform and medical imaging data to have a measurable and enduring impact on the acceleration of medical science and healthcare technology innovation.”

For more information about these projects and their availability, please see the i2b2 tranSMART website at http://www.i2b2transmart.org.

About The i2b2 tranSMART Foundation – The i2b2 tranSMART Foundation is a global non-profit open-source organization focused on realizing the promise of precision medicine. It provides open-source software and databases representing more than 250 million patient lives to thousands of physicians and scientists worldwide. Its data and analytics platforms help academic, non-profit, healthcare, government and commercial research communities effectively conduct collaborative research. The Foundation is headquartered in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The i2b2 tranSMART Foundation can also be found on the web at i2b2 tranSMART Foundation Website.

Leave a comment


Brighton Michigan Foot Doctor Podiatrist Tom Biernacki discusses heel pain and plantar fasciitis.

Brighton Michigan Foot Doctor Podiatrist Tom Biernacki discusses heel pain and plantar fasciitis.

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


BRIGHTON, Mich. (PRWEB)

Dr. Tomasz Biernacki states that “If heel pain is caught early, there are many treatments that can avoid invasive therapy or high cost. If plantar fasciitis can be allowed to get worst, it can turn into a chronic condition called plantar fasciosis.”

Dr. Biernacki further states “It is estimated that the people who develop flat feet and bunion formation can 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 Brighton Michigan have developed a treatment algorithm for diagnosing and treating heel pain & plantar fasciitis with both surgery and without surgery. If plantar fasciitis occurs for exceptionally long time, this can even cause a heel spur. The good news is heel spur pain can also frequently be corrected without the need for surgery.

Dr. Tomasz Biernacki is a practicing podiatric foot and ankle surgeon at Advanced Foot and Ankle specialists of Brighton 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.

Sidra Tree Foundation Recognizes the 2020 Humanitarian Project and Fellowship Awards Recipients

Leave a comment



RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Sidra Tree Foundation, a charitable organization focused on achieving equity in global eye care, is pleased to announce the 2020 recipients of the Humanitarian Project and Fellowship Awards. The Project Award supports a non-profit or academic institution that provides ophthalmic care and skills-transfer. The Fellowship Award provides medical mission travel support for a glaucoma fellow dedicated to humanitarian work.

Global Ophthalmology Emory (GO-Emory) is this year’s recipient of the Sidra Tree Foundation Project Award. The $50,000 grant will be used to expand their long-term commitment to provide ophthalmic care to Syrian refugees, the largest group of displaced people in the world. GO-Emory, which was established by Emory Eye Center, is working to enhance subspecialty ophthalmic care and establish a pediatric vision screening program in the Zataari refugee camp. The camp is the largest in Jordan with approximately 80,000 displaced Syrian refugees. GO-Emory’s program is designed to partner with local ophthalmologists to sustain these initiatives and improve Jordanian subspecialty training.

The Sidra Tree Foundation Fellowship Award recipient for 2020 is Erin Sieck, MD, a glaucoma fellow at Washington University. With the $5,000 grant, Dr. Sieck will fund travel for a minimum of one ophthalmic mission and use any remaining funds to obtain training that will enhance future efforts to deliver care to underserved populations. Dr. Sieck has consistently displayed her dedication to expanding access to care, serving as Clinic Director of the Kansas City Free Eye Clinic and the DAWN Free Health Clinic during medical school and residency, respectively. Following completion of her ophthalmology residency at the University of Colorado Sue Anschutz Rodgers Eye Center, Dr. Sieck commenced a glaucoma fellowship at the Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

“Access to screening and treatment for blinding diseases is scarce in many parts of the world. Thankfully, there is tremendous passion and innovation for change. That is why Sidra Tree Foundation is honored to announce our Project Award and Fellowship Award recipients for 2020, both of whom have consistently demonstrated the requisite resolve and hard work to enhance equity in eye care globally,” said Malik Kahook, MD, Co-Director of Sidra Tree Foundation. “Recipients were selected from an inspiring pool of international submissions, and we thank our selection committee for their incisive work.”

About Sidra Tree Foundation

Sidra Tree Foundation was established by New World Medical, a privately held ophthalmic company dedicated to developing cutting-edge glaucoma medical devices intended to alleviate the suffering of patients globally, to strategically focus its charitable efforts towards achieving equity in global eye care. New World Medical contributes 10% of its profits annually to seed Sidra Tree Foundation, which operates independently. Foundation resources target results-oriented investments that empower eye care professionals and organizations striving to preserve and enhance vision in developing health care systems. Current efforts are focused on several competitive annual awards for trainees, experienced eye care professionals and organizations with like-minded goals to help serve those in need.

COVID-19 Screening App for Employers to Maintain a Safe Workplace, Launched by Kanda Software

Leave a comment



BOSTON (PRWEB)

WorkPass.Today, launched by Kanda Software, is a COVID-19 symptoms screening solution for employers that helps decrease the likelihood of people with an active case of COVID-19 coming to work. The application streamlines the process for employers and promotes safe working conditions.

WorkPass.Today consists of separate portals for Admin and Employee. On the employee side, it prompts workers to conduct self-assessment of their own health prior to coming to work. Before the start of the day or shift, each employee is asked a set of questions about potential COVID-19 symptoms, including fever, cough and more.

If symptoms are present, a worker is asked to stay home or contact their healthcare provider.

If there are no symptoms, the application generates a unique 5-digit passcode that the employee uses to enter the workplace. Upon arriving at the workplace, the passcode is matched by an administrator to permit entrance.

“Initially, we created WorkPass with the goal of helping critical workers, hospitals and urgent care clinics reduce the likelihood of getting infected at work and infecting colleagues,” said Alex Karpovsky, CEO of Kanda Software. “But as more and more businesses begin to open, WorkPass helps any business come out of the quarantine safely.”
