Alexandra Franzen Releases “The Checklist Book” to Share the Life Changing Power of Writing Down Daily Intentions

Leave a comment


Checklists tend to create a feeling of immediate relief and empowerment. That ‘I got this, it’s doable, I can handle this’ feeling. Checklists can change your life.


HILO, Hawaii (PRWEB)

Alexandra Franzen has announced the release of her newest book, The Checklist Book: Set Realistic Goals, Celebrate Tiny Wins, Reduce Stress and Overwhelm, and Feel Calmer Every Day.

With so many distractions and stressors in today’s world, it’s difficult to get organized and stay focused on the priorities that really matter. Enter, The Checklist Book.

The Checklist Book focuses on setting realistic goals and celebrating tiny wins throughout your day (“drink a glass of water,” “walk for ten minutes in the fresh air,” “call mom to tell her a hilarious story”). Ultimately, the book helps readers to feel more focused and energized, clear mental clutter, and feel calmer every day.

“I wrote The Checklist Book because we live in a noisy, busy world that’s obsessed with doing more, more, more,” said author, Alexandra Franzen. “So many people try to cram 1,000 tasks into a 24 hour period–which just isn’t realistic or healthy. In our quest to be more productive, we actually end up with the opposite result: feeling drained and stuck. Plus, many people feel perpetually overwhelmed, like they’re drowning in commitments, no room to think or even breathe.

How can we feel better? A good place to begin is taking a deep breath–and then making a simple one-page checklist. Writing by hand. Ink to paper. Back to basics.

There are so many different kinds of checklists you can make–a daily checklist, annual checklist, and checklists for navigating painful situations like a break-up or divorce. It’s all about decluttering your mind, taking your intentions, and putting things in writing. Checklists tend to create a feeling of immediate relief and empowerment. That ‘I got this, it’s doable, I can handle this’ feeling. Checklists can change your life.”

Through The Checklist Book, readers learn valuable skills, including:

  • The history of the checklist and why it remains so relevant and effective today.

  • The science of checklists and why it feels so incredibly satisfying to make a list and check things off.

  • How checklists can help you create a more balanced life–with time for things you need to accomplish (emails, errands, bills) and time for things you want to experience (yoga, stargazing, hiking in nature, quality time with people you love).

  • How to create a daily checklist, seasonal checklist, annual checklist, self-care checklist, workout checklist, marketing checklist, birthday checklist, and checklists for challenging situations like coping with grief and heartbreak, moving to a new city, and navigating other types of big life transitions.

The Checklist Book is now available for sale at Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and IndieBound. The Kindle version of the book is available for $11.99 and the paperback version is available for $18.95.

Checklists will change your life.

Revitalize Nurse Call Systems without a Construction Project

Leave a comment


News Image

Canopy works by overlaying any brand of existing nurse call software with Critical Alert’s CommonPath Enterprise solution and analytics platform providing more effective management of patient-to-caregiver communications at a fraction of the cost of new construction.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (PRWEB)

Critical Alert announced today its new application, CommonPath Canopy– a software-only approach created to extend the life and feature set of a hospital’s legacy nurse call system.

Canopy works by overlaying any brand of existing nurse call software with Critical Alert’s CommonPath Enterprise solution and analytics platform providing more effective management of patient-to-caregiver communications at a fraction of the cost of new construction. Canopy is sold as Software as a Service (SaaS) providing customers with even more substantial ROI than traditional upgrade approaches.

The Canopy application also includes the CommonPath Clinical Analytics suite which provides both real-time and retrospective insights to support caregiver workload management, patient engagement, satisfaction and safety.

Regardless of a hospital’s deployed nurse call system(s), CommonPath Canopy and Clinical Analytics can be used to enhance communications between clinical staff and their patients.

“We understand the budget constraints that all hospitals are facing and felt compelled to create a product that would eliminate the need for expensive construction projects when nurse call software becomes outdated and ineffective,” stated John Elms, CEO. “Moreover, hospitals with multiple vendors and generations of nurse call can now provide their users with a common user interface and consolidated data and analytics across the entire enterprise at a compelling price point,” continued Elms.

Critical Alert will be demonstrating CommonPath Canopy at HIMSS from March 10th to March 12th by appointment.

About Critical Alert

Absolute Antibody Launches FleXpress™ High-Throughput Recombinant Antibody Production Service

Leave a comment


News Image

Absolute Antibody specializes in recombinant antibody technology, and we’ve developed a robust and reliable platform for high-throughput antibody production.


REDCAR, England (PRWEB)

Absolute Antibody Ltd., an industry-leading provider of recombinant antibody products and services, today announced the launch of its FleXpress™ high-throughput recombinant antibody production service, which offers customers the flexibility to rapidly express a large number of antibodies at 80 ml scale. All production occurs in Absolute Antibody’s ISO-certified antibody manufacturing facility in Northeast England, which recently expanded to increase production capacity and meet the growing demand for recombinant antibody technology.

The high-throughput recombinant antibody production service is ideal for early-stage pharmaceutical researchers conducting pilot studies on a group of therapeutic antibody candidates, as well as reagent companies with a monoclonal antibody portfolio interested in converting their collection from hybridomas to recombinant production. Recombinant antibodies, long the standard in pharmaceutical development, are becoming increasingly popular for research and diagnostic applications due to their superior batch-to-batch reproducibility, antibody engineering options, and guaranteed long-term supply.

The antibody production service utilizes Absolute Antibody’s HEXpress™ antibody expression platform, a serum-free, mammalian transient expression system that offers a faster, more affordable alternative to stable CHO cell line generation. The proprietary system produces high-quality recombinant antibodies in any species, isotype or format, including multispecifics and fragments, with high purity and low endotoxin levels.

The FleXpress™ production line can recombinantly manufacture hundreds of different antibodies per week at 80 ml scale, allowing Absolute Antibody to quickly respond to customer needs for high-throughput small-to-medium-scale recombinant antibody production. It joins two other production lines at the company’s antibody manufacturing facility, which also offers the option to scale to multi-gram quantities in a matter of weeks.

“Absolute Antibody specializes in recombinant antibody technology, and we’ve developed a robust and reliable platform for high-throughput antibody production at relatively small scales,” said Catherine Bladen, PhD, Chief Operations Officer at Absolute Antibody. “Our new production line gives our customers the flexibility to rapidly and cost-effectively test recombinant versions of many different antibodies using our proven recombinant expression technology.”

In 2019, Absolute Antibody produced thousands of different recombinant antibodies, making 120 grams of protein in total, for customers across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, research reagents, diagnostics, and academia. Since its founding in 2012, the company has also used its production platform to build a unique recombinant antibody catalog consisting of nearly 5,000 antibodies, all benefitting from antibody engineering technology. The FleXpress™ production service enables customers to utilize this same technology for their own recombinant antibody projects.

For more information, please visit our website here.

About Absolute Antibody, Ltd.

Absolute Antibody is a rapidly growing company with a vision to make recombinant antibody technology accessible to all. We offer antibody sequencing, engineering and recombinant production as custom services, as well as a unique catalog of recombinant antibodies, engineered into new and useful formats.

Pioneer Cardiovascular Surgeon Partners with Center for Vein Restoration

Leave a comment


Dr. Alpern, Board-certified Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon with 40+ years of Medical Experience

Dr. Alpern clearly has a deep level of respect, understanding, and concern for the overall health of his patients,… His philosophy of treatment perfectly aligns with Center for Vein Restoration’s goal of offering complete vein care to every patient that walks through our doors.


PHOENIX (PRWEB)

Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is proud to announce the addition of Jeffrey Alpern, DO to its expanding and esteemed roster of physicians treating venous disease throughout the country. His practice in Phoenix is Center for Vein Restoration’s second location in Arizona, alongside Dr. Nick Morrison’s Mesa-based practice. Dr. Alpern is a board-certified Cardiovascular and Thoracic surgeon specializing in veins. In addition to his dedicated training in vein treatment, he has had multiple faculty appointments and decades of experience in cardiovascular medicine since the mid-80s. In August of 2011, Dr. Alpern founded Vein Specialists of Arizona and served as medical director for nearly a decade.

Jeffrey Alpern was the first DO to perform a heart and heart/lung transplant in the world. Among his other impressive qualifications, Dr. Alpern trained at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic and was Surgical Director of Heart and Lung Transplantation at both Temple University and Hahnemann University Hospitals in Philadelphia, PA. He is the director and founding member of Desert Cardiovascular Surgeons in Phoenix. He earned his credentials from the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Dr. Alpern started his career in cardiovascular medicine, but while training, teaching, and seeing patients in the field, he found he was often treating people with spider veins, varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, venous stasis, leg ulcers, or cellulitis. “Most of these patients,” he noted, “Suffered for many years and had a very poor quality of life. Some had been in and out of wound care centers for leg ulcer treatment. Others with varicose veins had experienced painful, debilitating vein stripping procedures with a long and difficult recovery period.”

Seeing this gap in care, Dr. Alpern founded the Vein Specialists of Arizona in 2011. At the time, Dr. Alpern was pioneer in using the simple, virtually painless, out-patient procedures that are considered the gold standard of the field today.

Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal, CEO; Dr. Khanh Q. Nguyen, Chief Medical Officer; Neil Collier, COO; and Ken Abod, CFO at CVR are all pleased to welcome Dr. Alpern to the company.

“Dr. Alpern clearly has a deep level of respect, understanding, and concern for the overall health of his patients,” said Dr. Lakhanpal. “His philosophy of treatment perfectly aligns with Center for Vein Restoration’s goal of offering complete vein care to every patient that walks through our doors.”

Dr. Alpern’s accomplishments and affiliations also include:

  • Affiliation with the Banner Desert Hospital in Mesa, AZ

  • Member, American Vein and Lymphatic Society

  • Widely published in peer-reviewed medical journals


ABOUT VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY

Venous insufficiency, the cause of significant suffering due to the sequelae of venous hypertension, most commonly arises as achy, tired and heavy legs. It may or may not be associated with varicose veins, spider veins or skin changes including venous ulcerations and indiscriminately affects between 30–40 million Americans. Numerous factors including age, weight, prolonged sitting or standing, genetics or a history of DVT (blood clots) can increase the risk of developing this common and often underdiagnosed disorder. Treatment options have evolved to an array of minimally invasive procedures in an office setting.

ABOUT CENTER FOR VEIN RESTORATION

Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is the largest physician-led practice treating vein disease in the country. Having performed its first procedure in 2007 under President and CEO Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal, Center for Vein Restoration has since become nationally recognized as the clinical leader in treating chronic venous insufficiency. With 85 centers and growing, CVR has over 500 employees and conducts over 200,000 patient interactions annually.

SIUE’s Gopalan Named 2020 Arthur C. Guyton Educator of the Year

Leave a comment


SIUE’s Chaya Gopalan, PhD.

“I owe my success to the American Physiological Society. I have been a member of the society for over 20 years, and have received constant encouragement, guidance and opportunities to grow and develop.”


EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (PRWEB)

Hailed as an “exceptional mentor,” “highly-accomplished and adaptable educator,” and an “authority on implementing flipped classrooms methodology,” Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s Chaya Gopalan, PhD, has been named the American Physiological Society’s (APS) 2020 Arthur C. Guyton Educator of the Year.

Gopalan is an associate professor in both the SIUE School of Education, Health and Human Behavior’s (SEHHB) Department of Applied Health and the School of Nursing’s (SON) Department of Primary Care and Health Systems. She is highly-regarded nationally for her commitment to implementing a range of teaching modalities to connect with diverse learners.

The distinguished Arthur C. Guyton Educator of the Year Award honors her for excellence in classroom teaching at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels, and for her strong commitment to the improvement of physiology.

“I was totally shocked and simply could not believe that I was receiving this prestigious award,” Gopalan said. “I owe my success to the American Physiological Society. I have been a member of the society for over 20 years, and have received constant encouragement, guidance and opportunities to grow and develop.”

Gopalan’s long-time involvement with the APS has included service on the advisory group of physiology educators, Fellowship Committee, Institution of Teaching and Learning and Steering Committees, as well as a Nomination Committee Chair, Symposium Chair and more.

“I have witnessed firsthand her tremendous passion and energy for physiology education,” noted APS colleague Jonathan Kibble, PhD, professor of physiology and assistant dean for students at the University of Central Florida’s Health Sciences Campus at Lake Nona College of Medicine, in his letter of recommendation. “She has become an authority on implementing flipped classroom methodology, and has published several manuscripts on the topic, as well as given several invited workshops and podium presentations.”

“An important, and sometimes overlooked, characteristic of impactful educators is the time they devote to mentorship of others,” he added. “Chaya is an exceptional mentor, which I have witnessed directly in the way she interacts with colleagues and junior members of the physiology education community.”

In her recommendation letter, former student Rim Hadgu, PharmD, described Gopalan as the “epitome of excellence.” She credited Gopalan for inspiring her to become a confident leader and persistently pursue her goals.

“Not only is Dr. Gopalan passionate about teaching, but she also cares deeply about her students beyond the classroom,” wrote Hadgu, an assistant professor of pharmacy practice at the Midwestern University College of Pharmacy-Glendale. “She wants her students to understand her course material, and she also notices when they are struggling. She gives invaluable advice and encourages her students to find how they learn best. She has taught me to be persistent, and to pursue my goals regardless of the outcome.”

Gopalan is principal investigator of a National Science Foundation-funded project to advanced flipped teaching in STEM education, and the APS 2018 Teaching Career Enhancement Award winner. In 2019, she was recognized with a Phenomenal Woman Award from the SIUE Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion.

Gopalan earned her doctorate in neuroendocrine physiology from the University of Glasgow. At SIUE, she currently teaches Advanced Human Physiology and Advanced Human Pathophysiology courses in the SON’s Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist and Family Nurse Practitioner doctoral programs. She also teaches the Biology of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases course to exercise science majors in the SEHHB.

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville provides students with a high quality, affordable education that prepares them for successful careers and lives of purpose to shape a changing world. Built on the foundation of a broad-based liberal education, and enhanced by hands-on research and real-world experiences, the academic preparation SIUE students receive equips them to thrive in the global marketplace and make our communities better places to live. Situated on 2,660 acres of beautiful woodland atop the bluffs overlooking the natural beauty of the Mississippi River’s rich bottomland and only a short drive from downtown St. Louis, the SIUE campus is home to a diverse student body of more than 13,000.

“We are committed to ensuring transparency as we navigate the ever-evolving healthcare field and work tirelessly to continue to seek innovation in evidence-based behavioral health programs.”


BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (PRWEB)

Promises Behavioral Health (“Promises”), a leader in comprehensive addiction and mental health treatment services, celebrates their first anniversary since their organizational restructuring to better serve clients suffering from substance abuse and mental health disorders. This year was one filled with challenges and triumphs as Promises Behavioral Health laid their organizational foundations by implementing creative marketing strategies along with dynamic financial and operational developments.

In March 2019, Promises Behavioral Health was rebranded through strategic investment efforts. This restructuring proved to be a progression in the behavioral health field as Promises took essential steps to provide high-quality client care, along with creating an accessible path to treatment entry through strategic planning and by working with most major insurance companies.

“Promises Behavioral Health has made tremendous progress in this year,” noted Rob Waggener, Chairman and CEO of Promises Behavioral Health. “We have taken actionable measures to ensure high-quality care for our clients and families and laid the foundation for solid financial and operational management. We are committed to ensuring transparency as we navigate the ever-evolving healthcare field and work tirelessly to continue to seek innovation in evidence-based behavioral health programs.”

“What an incredible year it has been,” said Kathy Frossard, CMO with Promises Behavioral Health. “This year, we were able to not only impact this field by raising the bar on our standard of care, but we also made conscious effort to impact our local communities by engaging in and hosting local events to spread awareness on the impact of addiction and mental health disorders. We are honored to work with a team of talented individuals who strive to dissolve the stigmas behind seeking addiction and mental health treatment to ease social barriers.”

As they celebrate their year of accomplishments, Promises Behavioral Health plans to continue their efforts to create high quality, accessible addiction and mental health treatment options while organizing a wider range of community events, expanding their treatment programs and cultivating a positive work environment for their current and incoming team members.
