One of the biggest lessons for America during the Covid-19 outbreak is our dependence on foreign countries for our critical supplies. Seafood has long been one of the most threatened supplies because the US imports around 90% of its seafood. There is no reason Americans should be so reliant on imports for something as basic as seafood. Americans do have the ability to produce our own. It is better, safer and more secure. American Mariculture(AMI) is stepping up its efforts to ensure fellow Floridians continue to have access to high quality shrimp…Sun Shrimp®. Learn more at http://www.sunshrimp.com

AMI has been working hard to give America an alternative and increase the domestic seafood supply. Operating its state-of-the-art shrimp culturing facility on Pine Island, on the Southwest Coast of Florida, AMI has been in business for 7 years and has grown into one of the largest shrimp growers in the USA. Home of Sun Shrimp®, all natural, chemical & preservative free and sustainably grown shrimp are preferred by top chefs nationwide, but now that most restaurants are closed, lots of extra Sun Shrimp® are available. Rather than storing them, AMI is now allowing consumers to buy direct from its farm.

Sun Shrimp® are unique in America. “Since most shrimp available in the US are frozen imports, we Americans have forgotten what a real fresh and chemical free, antibiotic free and preservative free shrimp tastes like” says Robin Pearl, President of American Mariculture, Inc., further stating: “Our shrimp are hatched, cultured and packed all on the same location and this gives us full control and traceability of our shrimp. Harvested shrimp are packed by our fully HAACP certified packing plant and shipped to our customers within hours of harvest.” Available year round, Sun Shrimp® are America’s answer to reduce our dependence on foreign imports and improve our domestic food security.

The onsite farm store is open Monday through Friday from 11AM to 6PM. It features fresh shrimp daily and, when they run out, have lots of frozen ones available as well. You can purchase shrimp whole, de headed or peeled and de-veined. Prices range from $12 to $14 per pound. All Sun Shrimp® are packed in 1.5 and 5 pound containers.

Sun Shrimp® are also available online at http://www.sunshrimp.com. AMI can ship a minimum order of 5 pounds anywhere in the US with UPS overnight shipping. When shipping overnight, Sun Shrimp® are packed in a Styrofoam cooler with gel packs. “We do everything we can to make sure our shrimp arrive in perfect condition”, Pearl says: ”Remember, these are our babies and we take great pride in growing them. We don’t want that effort to be for nothing.”

During this time of national crisis, new opportunities to change course and improve our options will arise. Once Americans try some of their locally grown clean and delicious Sun Shrimp®, they too will realize how fantastic it really is to have our own supply of shrimp right here in the USA. Sun Shrimp® are born and raised by Americans for Americans.

“There are three machines that are available for those considering Laser Tattoo Removal. It is important to do research on the right machine for your skin type and tattoo.

The PicoWay machine is manufactured by Syneron Candela. This laser is suitable for Caucasian to Mediterranean skin types on red, black and yellow inks. It is suitable for dark skin types on black ink tattoos only. With the PicoWay machine when treating black ink there is less risk of blistering. An average of about 8 to 10 treatments are required to fully remove a tattoo.

The PicoSure machine is manufactured by Cynosure. This laser is suitable for Caucasian, Mediterranean and Oriental skin types only. It can remove blue, green, purple, red and black tattoo ink. An average of about 8 to 10 treatments to fully remove a tattoo. Both Pico technology mentioned have minimal risk of scarring and are reported to be less painful than standard lasers. It is known to have faster results than standard Q-Switch/Revlite technology which we later talk about.

The Revlite machine is manufactured by Cynosure. This laser is suitable for all skin types only on black ink only.

The Revlite laser is less powerful than Pico technology which could limit the risk of hyperpigmentation with shaded ink.

An average of 12 to 14 treatments are required to fully remove a tattoo and an average of 2 treatments for shaded black inks. This laser is generally cheaper than Pico Technology.”

DALLAS (PRWEB)
May 02, 2020

InDoc, a clinical telehealth company created to improve the emergency department (ED) experience, today announced a scalable healthcare solution for decreasing inefficiencies and augmenting ED staff. As COVID-19 continues to take a toll on the health and wellbeing of emergency department staff, hospitals are planning for the expected post-COVID-19 surge. InDoc has a large network of experienced Emergency Physicians that provide TeleTriage, a novel solution designed to operate alongside and complement existing staff. TeleTriage can be implemented at a fraction of the time and cost that would normally be required for hospitals to hire and train additional medical staff, and recently updated licensing accommodations support telemedicine as a standard practice.

InDoc Emergency Physicians are trained, prepared, and available to support one or multiple hospitals within a health system, and are available in nearly every state. A single InDoc physician can be available to evaluate patients in multiple locations simultaneously. In the setting of COVID-19 screening, InDoc’s digital front-line solution reduces the downstream risk to other healthcare providers and reduces the need for personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, new guidelines set forth by Centers for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS) now allow hospitals to conduct EMTALA-mandated medical screening exams (MSEs) via telehealth, when appropriate. This allows InDoc physicians, in some cases, to virtually conduct the entire emergency department visit, which magnifies the benefits attained with virtual screening.

“COVID-19 has placed considerable stress on emergency departments that were already over capacity even before the pandemic. It’s clear, too, that COVID-19 is going to be with us for some time to come,” said Erin Christianson, CEO, InDoc. “Fortunately, a silver lining of the pandemic is that telehealth has been embraced by health systems and accepted by patients as a viable way to receive healthcare. This will result in more efficient medical care both within and outside the hospital walls.”

InDoc provides a range of services from a turn-key solution that includes the technology and staffing, to consultation and assistance in the implementation of a TeleTriage program. InDoc also has the flexibility to utilize a health system’s current technology, if desired.

TeleTriage greatly reduces door-to-doctor times as well as left-without-being-seen (LWBS) rates. Christianson notes that the reduction in LWBS will result in more patients receiving care in the hospital’s ED. This alone will often fund the entire program. Additionally, the overall time a patient spends in the department is decreased, resulting in more capacity without the need to add beds or hire extra staff.

“InDoc’s robust service is rarely cost prohibitive when weighed against the cost savings and benefits,” said Christianson. “With TeleTriage, EDs are able to efficiently care for more patients while simultaneously providing them with a more positive experience.” She added, “Above all else, patient safety is significantly increased, as patients are rapidly seen by a physician with fewer leaving without treatment.”

The company stresses that the need for TeleTriage in emergency departments will remain long after the current spikes in COVID-19 cases.

“Millions of people with chronic conditions have heeded warnings and delayed getting medical care,” added Christianson. “Once stay-at-home guidelines are lifted, emergency departments will still be on alert for COVID-19 patients while being inundated with patients experiencing exacerbations of their chronic diseases, as well as more routine ED visits.”
