Attainia Launches New Equipment Planning Platform for Ambulatory Surgery Centers

Leave a comment


We’re thrilled to have Sovereign Healthcare use Attainia as an essential tool in the planning process for their ambulatory surgery centers.”


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB)

Attainia, the market leader in cloud-based software for medical equipment planning, announced that Sovereign Healthcare has selected Attainia’s new equipment planning solution to manage their fast growing, high-volume medical equipment planning needs for their ASC (ambulatory surgery center) projects.

“We’re thrilled to have Sovereign Healthcare use Attainia as an essential tool in the planning process for their ambulatory surgery centers,” said DJ Chhabra, Attainia CEO and chairman of the board. “Their partnership enhances our product and our presence in the ASC market.”

Attainia provides the only cloud-based, collaborative platform that allows equipment planners, medical space designers, architects and consultants to work together, simultaneously, on high-dollar, ASC capital medical equipment projects. With pre-built equipment templates for ORs and complete surgical suites, Attainia’s new equipment planning application is a powerful tool that uniquely meets the needs of ASC planning, design and construction professionals.

  • Attainia’s collaborative environment for equipment planning teams ensures processes are efficient and accurate, which dramatically reduces project variations and virtually eliminates expensive change orders.

  • Attainia provides the industry’s only integrated furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) product supplier catalog that supports the enforcement of organizational standards with more than 3,200 suppliers that feature more than 63,000 products.

  • Because Attainia provides visibility into all planned capital equipment requests, the ability to negotiate volume discounts with suppliers and group purchasing organizations is greatly enhanced.


“We are currently developing several new ASCs in Arizona and California, and we are using Attainia’s new equipment planning solution to help us ensure that we drive the right equipment standards that help us accelerate our planning process,” said Jeremy Hogue, president of Sovereign Healthcare. “Using the Attainia tools, we’ll be able to provide our partner health systems and physicians the world-class service and solutions they have come to expect from Sovereign Healthcare.”

Sovereign Healthcare has been able to effectively provide necessary guidance and standards around equipment planning for its internal operations using the Attainia platform. In addition, Sovereign is utilizing Attainia for planning two projects with target occupancy dates of early and middle 2020. The standardized templates and processes through these projects allow Sovereign to replicate best-in-industry practices for future projects, small or large.

“Sovereign’s strive to push boundaries within their own organization and within the ASC market, along with Attainia’s driving strategy to constantly innovate and reimagine healthcare processes, has proven to be a perfect match,” Chhabra said. “We look forward to many years of working with the Sovereign team and for their contributions to enhancing our platform.”

The Quinism Foundation Calls on GSK to Take Action to Better Emphasize Limitations of Use for Krintafel® (Tafenoquine)

Leave a comment

GSK must take appropriate action to better emphasize that approved use of Krintafel® is limited to those receiving appropriate antimalarial therapy for acute P. vivax infection and that the drug is NOT indicated for presumptive anti-relapse therapy


WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. (PRWEB)

The Quinism Foundation has sent correspondence to Evan Berland, at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Global Public Health, calling on GSK to take appropriate action to protect the health of asymptomatic U.S. travelers, including proposing further changes to the “Limitation of Use” section of the U.S. Prescribing Information for Krintafel®, to better emphasize that the drug is not indicated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for presumptive anti-relapse therapy [1].

“Since the 2018 U.S. approval of Krintafel® for prevention of relapse of P. vivax infection in those receiving appropriate antimalarial therapy for acute P. vivax infection,” wrote Remington Nevin, MD, MPH, DrPH, executive director of The Quinism Foundation, “the drug has been widely recommended for off-label use in presumptive anti-relapse therapy among asymptomatic U.S. travelers, including in published recommendations by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).”

“Although the prevention of relapse of P. vivax malaria infection and presumptive anti-relapse therapy of asymptomatic travelers are clearly separate and distinct indications,” Dr. Nevin noted, “CDC recommendations nonetheless confuse these terms, and even state erroneously use of Krintafel® in asymptomatic U.S. travelers for presumptive anti-relapse therapy ‘is consistent with FDA labeling’.”

In his correspondence, Dr. Nevin noted that in a “Dear Health Care Provider” letter, dated February 6, 2020 [2], GSK released data from a recent clinical trial that demonstrates that tafenoquine lacks efficacy in preventing P. vivax relapse when used with antimalarial drugs other than chloroquine. Dr. Nevin noted that the proposed change in the indication for Krintafel® as described by GSK in its “Dear Health Care Provider Letter”, which would limit the use of the drug to co-administration with chloroquine only, has critical safety implications for use of the drug by asymptomatic U.S. travelers.

“CDC recommendations for Krintafel® to be co-administered with other drugs, such as atovaquone-proguanil and doxycycline that are commonly used by asymptomatic U.S. travelers for the prophylaxis of malaria,” [3] Dr. Nevin wrote, would be “clearly at odds with the proposed change in indication for Krintafel®, which would limit the use of the drug to co-administration with chloroquine only, and presumably only at appropriate doses for treatment of acute P. vivax infection.”

“Given that tafenoquine has been demonstrated to lack efficacy in preventing P. vivax relapse when used with antimalarial drugs other than chloroquine,” Dr. Nevin noted, “current CDC recommendations for use of Krintafel® with other drugs in presumptive anti-relapse therapy may endanger asymptomatic U.S. travelers by placing them at risk of acute malaria from failed elimination of dormant hypnozoites. Consequently, GSK must take appropriate action to better emphasize that approved use of Krintafel® is limited to those receiving appropriate antimalarial therapy for acute P. vivax infection and that the drug is NOT indicated for presumptive anti-relapse therapy.”

Dr. Nevin concluded his letter by recommending removal of the ambiguous term ‘radical cure’ from the U.S. Prescribing Information to reduce the risk of confusion between prevention of relapse and presumptive anti-relapse therapy.

“Tafenoquine, originally developed by the U.S. Army, is a member of a class of antimalarial drug known as 8-aminoquinolines found during World War II-era studies to be uniformly neurotoxic,” said Dr. Nevin. “A leading researcher involved in testing of this class of drug in rhesus monkeys has noted ‘all of nearly one hundred and forty 8-aminoquinolines examined… produce rather remarkable and highly specific lesions in the central nervous system [CNS].’” [4] “Publicly-available data support a conclusion that tafenoquine shares the liability to CNS neurotoxicity of related 8-aminoquinolines,” said Dr. Nevin.

About The Quinism Foundation

The Quinism Foundation, founded in January 2018, in White River Junction, Vermont, promotes and supports education and research on quinism, the family of medical disorders caused by exposure to quinoline drugs, including mefloquine and tafenoquine.

Dr. Nevin is a board-certified occupational medicine and preventive medicine physician and former U.S. Army medical officer and epidemiologist. He is author of more than 30 scientific publications on malaria and the quinoline antimalarials.

Cotton Babies to Distribute FREE Cloth Diapers Across the Country

Leave a comment



ST. LOUIS (PRWEB)

Cotton Babies, Inc., a St. Louis-based manufacturer and retailer of cloth diapers, has announced its cloth diaper bank, Share the Love, will now ship free cloth diapers directly to families in need.

“When my first baby was born, we were choosing between groceries and disposable diapers. A friend gave me cloth diapers. Her gift enabled us to buy food for our family while easing the burden of diapering our baby. Not too long later, I started a business and, for nearly 18 years, we’ve been working to make cloth diapers readily available to every family everywhere,” said Jennifer Labit, Cotton Babies founder and CEO.

Share the Love was created in 2012 with the mission of ending poverty and diaper need in communities. As many as 1 in 3 families have an insufficient supply of diapers. Volunteer hosts throughout the country accept donations and distribute the cloth diapers to families in their area. This consistent, scalable framework helps sustain communities. In order to reach families who do not have a host nearby, Cotton Babies is rolling out the option to ship diapers. Delivery fees will be the exact shipping cost plus a small handling fee. Diapers will vary based on availability, but most will receive a loan of 15 cloth diaper changes for an extended period of time. Besides providing the cloth diapers, Share the Love teaches families how to care for and use cloth diapers.

Share the Love currently has enough diapers on hand to supply around 800 families with cloth diapers. To apply for a diaper loan, visit cottonbabieslove.com to fill out an application.

  • Eligibility requirements:

  • Must be a US resident with a photo ID

  • Show proof of enrollment in WIC, TANF or any other assistance program

  • Fill out the application in its entirety

Replacing disposable diapers with cloth diapers can save a family thousands of dollars. That money can be used on food, childcare, utilities and more. For struggling families, it can have a life-changing impact.

As a company that specializes in reusable products, Cottton Babies is proud that Share the Love extends the use of cloth diapers it manufactures and keeps them out of landfills. Rather than getting tossed into the trash, these diapers can go on to help other families.

Ex-Tesla Product Manager behind Morning Recovery launches productivity drink, Liquid Focus

Leave a comment


Liquid Focus - nootropic smart drink

Liquid Focus — a new kind of nootropic.

The team, led by ex-Tesla Product Manager Sisun Lee, was inspired to find a solution that was more effective than coffee and energy drinks and better-for-you than misused prescription drugs.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

More Labs (http://www.morelabs.com), the science-backed brand behind the liver-boosting shot, Morning Recovery, launches a new product, Liquid Focus, this week. Their newest biohacking beverage or “productivity drink” uses clinically-proven ingredients to help sharpen the mind, provide steady energy, and ease stress.

As a healthier alternative to energy drinks with added cognitive benefits that can be felt in as soon as 30 minutes, Liquid Focus helps support the natural production of neurotransmitters that are critical for concentration, motivation, and cognitive performance, provides smooth, clean, and sustainable energy while helping to neutralize the negative effects of caffeine, and reduces stress.

The team, led by ex-Tesla Product Manager Sisun Lee, was inspired to find a solution that was more effective than coffee and energy drinks and better-for-you than misused prescription drugs. “After learning recreational prescription smart drug use was on the rise, we realized there was a demand for those seeking a quick fix for focus, motivation, and attentiveness,” said Lee. “We’re excited to provide a healthy alternative to unhealthy brain-boosting solutions.”

Liquid Focus was developed by More Labs’ in-house head of research and development and product innovation, Dr. Fu Chen (a former FDA scientist), along with guidance from a scientific advisory board of doctors from the University of Southern California (USC), and a product innovation research expert at Ritual. It uses natural, cognition-enhancing ingredients known as nootropics, a category that is expected to experience rapid growth. ($6 billion by 2024, Zion Research.)

The ready-to-drink 3.4 oz (100ml) shot is the perfect solution for overworked, over-scheduled, high-achieving professionals, undergrad and graduate students, and esports gamers that are looking to increase focus, boost output, and succeed.

Later this year, More Labs plans to expand into categories beyond alcohol recovery, hydration, and nootropics to launch a ready-to-drink, holistic sleep solution designed to help ease your mind and reduce caffeine levels in your body, so you can doze off faster and wake up restored. Other new additions include a revamp of packaging in an effort to make things more environmentally friendly and a new natural lemon ginger Morning Recovery flavor.

Liquid Focus is now available for purchase at morelabs.com and Amazon to buy as a one-time purchase or subscribe and save.

Sandwich, MA Oral Surgeon, Dr. William Lane, Rejuvenates the Function and Aesthetics of Smiles with Full Mouth Reconstruction

Leave a comment


Dr. William Lane, Oral Surgeon in Sandwich and Plymouth, MA

Dr. William Lane, Sandwich, MA Oral Surgeon, Offers Full Mouth Reconstruction

After full mouth reconstruction, patients can return to a healthy, natural lifestyle.


Sandwich, MA (PRWEB)

Patients who are dissatisfied with the appearance or function of their mouth can receive full mouth reconstruction from distinguished Sandwich, MA oral surgeon, Dr. William Lane. When performed by an oral surgeon, full mouth reconstruction can include advanced procedures like bone grafting and facial trauma treatments to help patients who may have suffered from an accident or whose mouth causes them constant discomfort. After full mouth reconstruction, patients can return to a healthy, natural lifestyle.

“Patients that we see with a dentition that is significantly diseased complain mostly about function, such as not being able to eat what they want or digest their food properly. Secondarily, they have the issue of appearance, the cosmetic aspect of the problem,” says Dr. Lane. “They are motivated by pain or active disease, and for many, it is ongoing and something they have dealt with for years and years. We are able to help them through a variety of means.”

Full mouth reconstruction is designed to transform a flawed, damaged mouth into one that is both functional and attractive again. Patients may need full mouth reconstruction after an accident or trauma, or if advanced disease is present. Dr. Lane begins every consultation with an in-depth evaluation of the patient’s mouth and a discussion on their wants, needs and smile goals. The full mouth reconstruction is then planned and may include one or multiple procedures with the end goal of a healthy, functional and attractive mouth. Treatments that may be performed in a full mouth reconstruction include:

  • Dental implants

  • Bone grafting

  • Tooth extraction

  • Facial trauma treatments


Oral surgeons like Dr. Lane are uniquely qualified to perform full mouth reconstruction treatments due to their skill, training and experience. In cases where a patient needs dental implants to complete their smile but does not have enough jawbone to secure the implants, Dr. Lane performs bone grafting. Bone grafting requires delicate and careful skill to restore bone volume, both filling in the facial appearance and creating enough bone for an oral surgeon to place a dental implant. Dr. Lane has years of dental and surgical experience behind him and uses some of the most modern technology in dentistry today. For patients with dental anxiety, he offers sedation, including advanced IV sedation, to block sensations of discomfort and help patients relax.

Those in need of restorative dentistry to improve the function of their mouth or the appearance of their smile are encouraged to make an appointment with Sandwich, MA oral surgeon, Dr. Lane, by visiting http://www.laneoralsurgery.com or calling 508-746-8700 to schedule a consultation. Appointments can be made at both their Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA locations.

About the Oral Surgeon

Lane Oral Surgery offers oral and maxillofacial surgical care at their offices in Plymouth, MA and Sandwich, MA. Renowned oral surgeon, Dr. William Lane graduated from Harvard University, received his doctorate from Boston University, and completed his residency training in oral and maxillofacial surgery in a combined program at Boston University and Tufts University. Dr. Lane created the revolutionary SmileOn!™ same day full mouth dental implant solution to help patients with missing teeth regain their smile, their confidence, and normal dental function. In addition to his SmileOn! solution, Dr. Lane offers bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, and full mouth reconstruction. The entire team at Lane Oral Surgery is devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of smiles.

Study on Positive Mental and Physical Health Outcomes for Veterans Released

Leave a comment


Ben Alexander, whose engagement with TMF has helped him overcome the struggles of transition and find purpose through youth mentorship.

“I felt like I was abandoned. Without [TMF], I don’t know where I would be or what I would be doing.”


DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (PRWEB)

In partnership Syracuse University’s Institute of Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) conducted their second annual study, which used a 10-question Brief Inventory of Thriving (BIT) scale and questions about health, resilience, and community connectedness, to quantify the impact of its programs.

IVMF researchers found that the more engaged with TMF initiatives that participants were, the more they experienced physical and mental health outcomes. The study also found veterans who continue their service after the military as Mentors in TMF’s youth character development program, experienced especially positive outcomes to their overall well-being and mental health.

While the study’s primary finding showed that veterans who participated in Travis Manion Foundation initiatives more frequently, experienced higher overall mental and emotional well-being, this was equally true for civilian members as well.

TMF’s programs are grounded in the field of Positive Psychology, which studies the attributes and characteristics that lead individuals and communities to improve their well-being and thrive. Three areas that enable individuals and communities to thrive are meaning, relationships, and engagement. Thriving and well-being improves when people are able to identify what gives their lives meaning and purpose; develop and deepen relationships; and fully engage in activities in an effort to capture and communicate impact.

For over a decade, Travis Manion Foundation has been providing best-in-class programs to families of the fallen and veterans, calling upon their strength of character and selfless service to lead our communities and inspire our youth. IVMF surveyed TMF Spartan Members from across the country and found something incredible: greater engagement with TMF across initiatives correlates to higher levels of mental health and emotional well-being.

One survey respondent wrote, “TMF has helped me look at hardship or suffering in a different light. None of the problems I have seem so big when I consider the stories of heroes such as Travis and the families that those heroes leave behind. TMF has made me more resilient.”

You can read the executive summary, and see video testimonial from a Veteran Mentor, Ben Alexander, whose engagement with TMF has helped him overcome the struggles of transition and find purpose through youth mentorship. Ben is a Veteran Mentor for TMF’s youth character development program in Mesa, Arizona, who struggled to return to civilian life after 8 years in the Marine Corps. “I felt like I was abandoned,” he says of the few tools available for transitioning military members.

But through engaging with TMF initiatives, especially mentoring young adults, Ben has found purpose and meaning, is developing meaningful relationships, and is engaging in activities that matter to him, like youth development and service—and in the process, overcoming the Post-Traumatic Stress that has followed him.

“Without [TMF], I don’t know where I would be or what I would be doing.”

About Travis Manion Foundation

Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) unites communities to strengthen America’s national character by empowering veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop and lead future generations. In 2007, 1st Lt. Travis Manion (USMC) was killed in Iraq while saving his wounded teammates. Today, Travis’ legacy lives on in the words he spoke before leaving for his final deployment, “If Not Me, Then Who…” Guided by this mantra, veterans continue their service, develop strong relationships with their communities, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation.

The story of 1stLt Travis Manion and his Naval Academy brother Lt. (SEAL) Brendan Looney have been publicized in the book Brothers Forever, and additional information about the Foundation can be found at http://www.travismanion.org.

Researchers discovered that Dynamine® extends caffeine’s half-life and increased its area under the curve approximately two-fold

Caffeine Benefit Increase with Dynamine®

“We’re excited and enthusiastic about the remarkable new Dynamine-Caffeine pharmacokinetic clinical study results, and implications for all stakeholders from brand owners to consumers! Given the surge of interest in amplifying the efficacy of caffeine, while minimizing adverse or undesirable effect.


CARLSBAD, Calif. (PRWEB)

SELF-AFFIRMED GRAS Dynamine®, is a rapid-onset energy and focus ingredient that increases perceived energy, alertness, productivity and motivation to perform mental tasks. Like Teacrine®, Dynamine® may amplify feelings of energy, mood and focus by activating dopamine receptors and other key neurotransmitters, inhibiting adenosine receptors, all without elevating heart rate or blood pressure.

There have been numerous studies on compounds which may enhance the beneficial effects of caffeine on energy, mood/motivation and focus. Recently, a landmark clinical trial was conducted at a major Division I university to investigate Dynamine®’s potential pharmacokinetic interaction with caffeine and Teacrine®. Remarkably, researchers discovered that Dynamine® extended caffeine’s half-life and increased its area under the curve approximately two-fold. The reverse was not true (i.e. caffeine did not alter Dynamine®’s pharmacokinetics). In addition, researchers also discovered that co-administration of Teacrine® and Dynamine® increased the half-life of caffeine approximately three-fold.

Collectively, these data have widespread implications for product formulations that utilize these compounds and suggest that lower doses of caffeine may be used in products containing Dynamine®. Future studies are needed to confirm these effects and refine dosage recommendations.

Matt Titlow, CEO of Compound Solutions commented: “We’re excited and enthusiastic about the remarkable new Dynamine®-Caffeine pharmacokinetic clinical study results, and implications for all stakeholders from brand owners to consumers! Given the surge of interest in amplifying the efficacy of caffeine, while minimizing adverse or undesirable effects in the healthy energy, cognitive performance, brain health product categories, these new data provides support for either driving more efficacy out of a given dose of caffeine, or lowering caffeine doses while maintaining or improving its wide-ranging benefits,” Matt concluded.

Compound Solutions is the go-to company representing and distributing unique, patented nutraceutical ingredients that improve the health and performance of individuals. CSI supplies effective, science-based, ingredients to sports nutrition, functional food and nutraceutical manufacturers. We are committed to building and maintaining long-term relationships with our global customers and suppliers.

Dr. Amir HagShenas Replaces Missing Teeth with Full Mouth Dental Implants in San Jose, CA

Dr. Amir HagShenas, Implant Dentist in San Jose, CA

Dr. Amir HagShenas Provides Full Mouth Dental Implants in San Jose, CA

He received Dr. HagShenas’ full mouth implants. Now, when he smiles, it makes me really happy to see him happy.


SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB)

Dr. Amir HagShenas, respected dentist in San Jose, CA, is offering patients with loose, ill-fitting dentures or numerous missing teeth the opportunity to receive a full mouth dental implant treatment in just one day. Combining state-of-the-art technology with nearly 30 years of dental experience, Dr. HagShenas and his team at Silicon Valley Smile Solutions work to provide the highest standard of dental implant treatment with the most long-lasting results.

Dr. HagShenas works closely with patients to capture a full understanding of their needs including their desired tooth size, shape, and color. He then uses a cone beam CT scanner to capture detailed images of the patient’s mouth. These images help Dr. HagShenas determine the precise placement for each dental implant, including the accurate angle, depth, and position.

After a patient qualifies for a dental implant transformation, Dr. HagShenas places the dental implants within the jaw and attaches a natural-looking temporary bridge the same day. This gives patients an immediate and fully functioning arch of teeth while they wait for the completion of their permanent bridge. Once constructed, Dr. HagShenas securely attaches the final bridge, which can last the rest of the patient’s life when properly maintained.

Throughout the entire full mouth dental implant treatment, Dr. HagShenas offers personalized care to keep the patient relaxed and comfortable. He also provides sedation dentistry to ease the nerves of patients and relieve discomfort during the entire dental implant procedure.

Patients of Dr. HagShenas have enjoyed the benefits of full mouth dental implants over traditional dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants provide a permanent solution with no slipping dentures, messy adhesive, or jawbone deterioration. Patients who received this treatment experience enhanced confidence and improvement to their overall health.

“My husband had so much dental work that needed to be done,” Pam, the wife of a patient of Dr. HagShenas, explains with tears. “He received Dr. HagShenas’ full mouth implants. Now, when he smiles, it makes me really happy to see him happy. That’s why I refer everyone I know to Dr. HagShenas.”

Patients with severely damaged or missing teeth who are looking for full mouth dental implants in San Jose, CA can connect with Dr. HagShenas for a consultation by visiting http://www.svsmilesolutions.com or calling 408-377-5134.

Dr. Abdullah Ahmad, Dr. Harlean Ahuja, and Dr. Leen Qutachi gathered with over 25 support staff to host a Day of Giving with the Smiles for Everyone Foundation.

Volunteers were able to provide free exams, cleanings, fillings, extractions and more with the help of a $2,000 grant provided by the Sundt Foundation. The Sundt Foundation was established by Sundt Construction, Inc. to give its employee owners the opportunity to support organizations in their communities that improve the lives of disadvantaged children and adults. Thanks to their support, the Mesa Team served nearly 40 low-income individuals from local nonprofits such as Harvest Compassion Center, a local food bank; Phoenix Rescue Mission, an organization that fights hunger, homelessness and addiction; and Arizona Center for Youth Recourses.

“I’m more than grateful for this work today,” exclaimed patient Gloria R. “My family and I struggle to be able to get work done and I don’t know how bad our teeth would be without this today.”

The Smiles for Everyone Foundation like to thank both the Sundt Foundation and the entire Team of volunteers for donating their money, time and skills to help others! With their hard work and determination, they were able to bridge the gap between providers and those who are unable to afford quality dental care.

The next Day of Giving that the Foundation is hosting will be at Johnson Family Dental in Santa Barbara, CA on March 14th. Please visit http://www.smilesforeveryone.org for more information.
