Natreon’s exploratory study highlights benefits of a unique complex of trivalent chromium, shilajit and amla with fish-oil

Leave a comment


“It is noteworthy that the triglycerides decreased significantly in the chromium, amla, shilajit complex groups although the dose of fish oil was only 2 g/day and the baseline triglyceride levels were only about 200 mg/dL”


NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (PRWEB)

Natreon announces publication of a randomized, double-blind clinical study on the effect of trivalent chromium, amla and shialjit when combined with fish oil. The study shows evidence that the trivalent chromium, amla and shilajit complex significantly improves the efficacy of fish oil in addressing cardiovascular risk factors.

In this randomized, double-blind, parallel group study, 59 type 2 diabetic subjects, who have already been on a stable dose of metformin, in three groups, completed the study: Group A, fish oil 2000 mg; Group B, fish oil 2000 mg + trivalent chromium, amla, shilajit complex 10 mg (200 μg of Cr3+); and Group C, fish oil 2000 mg + chromium, amla, shilajit combination 20 mg (400 μg of Cr3+) daily for 12 weeks (2000 mg of fish oil contained 600 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA). Endothelial function, as reflection index (RI), biomarkers of oxidative stress – malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), glutathione (GSH), and inflammatory biomarkers high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), Endothelin-1 (ET-1) were evaluated at baseline, and 4 and 12 weeks. Lipid profile, platelet aggregation and glycosylated hemoglobin were evaluated at baseline and at 12 weeks.

Twelve week results show that fish oil by itself, at a dose of 2000 mg (600 mg of EPA + 400 mg of DHA) per day, led to significant (p≤0.05 to 0.0001) but modest improvement in cardiovascular parameters – endothelial function as RI from −2.38±0.75 to −3.92±0.60, MDA -0.88%, NO 4.94%, GSH 2.64%, hsCRP -2.09%, ICAM-1 -6.9%, VCAM-1 -5.85%, ET-1 -9.43%, TC -7.53%, HDL-C 4.74%, LDL-C -11.06%, VLDL-C -10.23%, triglycerides -10.1% . However, when the chromium, amla, shilajit complex was added to fish oil, especially at the 20 mg/day (400 mcg of Cr3+) dose, there were highly significant (p≤0.0001) improvements in all the parameters tested (RI from −2.04±0.79 to −8.73±1.36), MDA -21.29%, NO 38.79%, GSH 22.44%, hsCRP -63.4%, ICAM-1 -29.2%, VCAM-1 -38.64%, ET-1 -24.19%, TC -23.68%, HDL-C 25.11%, LDL-C -37.02%, VLDL-C -28.06%, triglycerides -28.11%.

Dr. Sanni Raju, CEO of Natreon states, “it is noteworthy that the triglycerides decreased significantly in the chromium, amla, shilajit complex groups although the dose of fish oil was only 2 g/day and the baseline triglyceride levels were only about 200 mg/dL, because fish oil is known to work better at 4g/day dose, and in hypertriglyceridemia state (triglyceride levels ≥500 mg/dL). In addition to this study, a second clinical study will soon be published evaluating the effect of trivalent chromium, amla, and shilajit in combination with fish oil in a population with health parameters associated with metabolic syndrome.”

The ability to interact with patients and monitor their vital signs remotely helps us continue managing their existing health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic

Leave a comment


“Anelto Remote Care allowed us to deliver higher quality care to more patients. Our patients find it easy to set up and use; this ease of use gives patients confidence in the system, which increases their willingness to take their vital signs and engage with their healthcare provider. – Dr. Mackie


CAPE CORAL, Fla. (PRWEB)

The COVID-19 pandemic and the social distancing it brought is changing the way the doctors at Excellence Medical Center interact with their Cape Coral, Florida, patients. Christine Mackie, MD, and other healthcare professionals at the medical center were well-positioned to for the impact with their continued use of telemedicine through Anelto Remote Care instead of face-to-face visits for routine care of their elder patients.

Virtual care through telemedicine, like that provided by Anelto, is quickly becoming an essential weapon against the spread of the pandemic. Telemedicine keeps patients and staff in close communication but at a safe distance. Physicians can monitor patients and track vital signs while the patient remains safely at home. The technology is particularly useful for older patients who need more healthcare but who are at a higher risk of developing complications associated with coronavirus disease.

“The ability to interact with patients and monitor their vital signs remotely helps us continue managing their existing health problems, such as heart disease and COPD, but also monitor them for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. This brings peace of mind to our older patients who might otherwise put themselves and their families in danger by making a trip to the emergency department or crowded doctor’s office. Anelto helps us monitor our patients remotely, reassure them, and keep them safe at home.”

CEO of Anelto, Mark Denissen, says, “I believe we can make a difference in keeping patients safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. To reduce the infection rate through social distancing, healthcare professionals must work together using the latest tools and technologies available to bring medical care to patients in their own homes. Here at Anelto, we have created an innovative solution that transforms patient engagement. Remote Patient Monitoring is a key part of that solution.”

While several new players are appearing on the telemedicine field, Anelto is an established company with a solution different from the competition in that it focuses on ease of use and access for seniors. Anelto can help medical institutions like Excellence Medical Center improve financial stability during a tumultuous time, as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to expand CMS reimbursement options for remote patient monitoring.

“Anelto Remote Care allowed us to deliver higher quality care to more patients. Our patients find it easy to set up and use; this ease of use gives patients confidence in the system, which increases their willingness to take their vital signs and engage with their healthcare provider. Anelto is also helping us grow our practice at a time when social distancing is shrinking other practices.”

Women’s Excellence OB/Gyn in Michigan Helps Women with Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Leave a comment


News Image


DETROIT (PRWEB)

Endometriosis is a painful and debilitating condition that causes pelvic pain, painful menstruation, and even painful intercourse for women. Women suffering from this disease or symptoms of pelvic pain may find themselves at a standstill to getting proper care during the coronavirus outbreak. Dr. Jonathan Zaidan, MD, FACOG, President of Women’s Excellence and his team are committed to helping new and existing patients with endometriosis and pelvic pain during this time when many doctor’s offices have closed.

Endometriosis is a disease that affects the female reproductive tract in which the endometrial lining of the uterus spreads into the pelvic cavity, implanting itself on the pelvic structures causing inflammation and pain. The most common symptoms of endometriosis include painful intercourse, painful periods, pelvic pain, irregular bleeding, infertility, back pain, and even gastrointestinal problems.

“If your symptoms of endometriosis and pelvic pain are getting worse while on quarantine, you can still get the care you need!” says Dr. Zaidan. “Our offices remain open to help you! We are offering virtual appointments for initial consultations and follow-up visits and in-office appointments for testing and treatment protocols.”

The virtual care program at Women’s Excellence, called Specialty Virtual Care, is a proprietary system that allows women to meet with their provider through a HIPAA-secured video conference call. In addition to endometriosis visits, patients can utilize virtual care for other gynecologic concerns, lab result questions and follow up, imaging results, initial consultations for other specialty services, menopause concerns, weight program consultations, and more.

In order to schedule a Specialty Virtual Care appointment, patients will need access to a computer or mobile device with video and microphone capabilities. Although many visits can be done solely through Specialty Virtual Care, some visits will require in office visits for blood draws and imaging with options for patient convenience.

Recently featured on the Paul W. Smith show on WJR 760AM radio, Dr. Zaidan discusses the importance of telehealth during this outbreak. To listen to the interview, visit: https://www.womensexcellence.com/blog/dr-zaidan-discusses-virtual-care-on-the-paul-w-smith-radio-show/

“During the coronavirus pandemic, the health and safety of our patients is very important to us. Our goal is to ensure that women’s health remains a priority and our patients (even new patients!) get the care they need. Along with our proprietary virtual care program, we’ve instituted protocols within our offices including a no visitor policy, screening protocols for coronavirus symptoms, and enhanced cleaning processes to help decrease exposure and the spread of COVID-19,” says Dr. Zaidan.

For more information on services available at Women’s Excellence, listen to the Healthy Woman Show podcast. Women’s Excellence is a proud partner of Detroit’s WJR 760AM radio Dr. Jonathan Zaidan of Women’s Excellence each month. The podcast is located at https://www.womensexcellence.com/about/podcast/.

Visualizing the Spread of COVID-19 in Global Online Media

Leave a comment


This visualization not only mirrors the spread of the disease itself, but our data shows exactly how the coronavirus story was presented in national and regional media outlets as the pandemic grew


PRAGUE (PRWEB)

Czech-based data analytics and risk assessment firm Semantic Visions (SV) has released to YouTube a dramatic geospatial visualization of the spread of the novel Coronavirus in the world’s online media.

“This visualization not only mirrors the spread of the disease itself, but our data shows exactly how the coronavirus story was presented in national and regional media outlets as the pandemic grew,” explains CEO Frantisek Vrabel.

The video, which was based on the semantic analysis of 82,283,207 articles in the world’s 10 major languages, shows how global awareness of the disease grew from a few almost imperceptible news stories in early January to global coverage of the pandemic by the end of March.

“Our data and analysis have uncovered a trove of information related to the spread of the virus,” said Vrabel. “Not only can we see how the disease was presented in Chinese media at the outset of the pandemic, but also how disinformation about Covid-19 was propagated by bad actors, namely out of Russia.”

In addition to delivering a report to the U.S. Department of State detailing the spread of Covid19-related disinformation, SV is using its data in the global effort to mitigate the effects of the virus on the world’s economy. The firm recently partnered with SAP Ariba, the world’s leading procurement and supply chain company, to build a portal detailing global supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic.

SV has over 15 years of experience in OSINT data collection and is one of the very few organizations capable of delivering an overarching view of the global online media landscape. SV has long-term practical experience in detecting hostile propaganda and disinformation and in March 2019 took first place in the US-UK Tech Challenge for its development of proprietary technology that can identify and track disinformation and propaganda around the globe.

NeoTract Designates Dr. Brett Hill as UroLift® Center of Excellence

Leave a comment


News Image

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Brett Hill 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 Brett Hill, D.O., The Urology Center PC of Omaha, in Omaha, NE has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Hill 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. Brett Hill 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, longterm 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.

Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) Commends New York State for Legalizing the Use of Gestational Carriers

Leave a comment


Drs. Anate Brauer and Tomer Singer of SGF New York commend the recent passing of the Child-Parent Security Act in New York State.

SGF is committed to providing both parties—intended parents and GCs—with the best personalized care in order to help many achieve the dream of parenthood.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Until last week, New York State remained one of only three states in the U.S. that banned the use of GC. On April 2, a key piece of legislation, the Child-Parent Security Act, was passed, establishing and protecting the rights of the intended parents. Shady Grove Fertility (SGF), home to more than 85,000 babies born and one of the largest GC programs in the nation, applauds this change, calling it “long overdue.”

Gestational surrogacy—which involves a woman other than the biological or intended parent carrying the pregnancy—is not just an option, it’s the only option to start or grow a family for millions of New Yorkers who face infertility; others whose cancer, previous trauma, or genetic disease has affected their reproductive capabilities; and the LGBTQ community who desire to start a family.

“In these, some of the darkest times New York has seen, I am so completely overjoyed at this glimmer of light and hope for our patients. These are patients who have undergone the most horrific of circumstances. Couples with previous traumatic birth, ruptured uterus, pregnancy loss, cancer, absent uterus (MRKH syndrome), severe renal disease, uterine cancer, post-partum hemorrhage that required a hysterectomy, to name a few. Now these warriors, already mourning the loss of their ability to carry a pregnancy, at least have the opportunity to build a family in their home state,” said Anate Brauer, M.D., Director of IVF at SGF New York in Manhattan.

“Patients with uterine factor such as fibroids, Asherman’s syndrome, prior hysterectomy, different genetic diseases, recurrent miscarriages, certain types of cancer, and same-sex male couples are not able to carry a pregnancy. SGF excels in creating programs that allow these patients and others to become parents,” explains Tomer Singer, M.D., MBA, Medical Director of SGF New York in Manhattan.

“SGF is committed to providing both parties—intended parents and GCs—with the best personalized care in order to help many achieve the dream of parenthood,” adds Singer.

While SGF does not recruit their own GCs, SGF has vast experience working with intended parents and GCs alike, high success rates, and is also home to one of the only 100% refund programs for IVF or donor egg treatment in the nation— intended parents either take home a baby or receive their money back.
