Oral Surgeon, Dr. Edward Halusic, Places Over 7,000 Dental Implants in Greensburg, PA

Dental implants provide a permanent tooth replacement solution to missing teeth and loose or ill-fitting dentures.


GREENSBURG, Pa. (PRWEB)

Renowned oral surgeon, Dr. Edward Halusic, has now placed over 7,000 dental implants for patients in Mt. Pleasant and Greensburg, PA with missing teeth. Always at the forefront of implantology, Dr. Halusic keeps his practice, The Facial Surgery Center, up to date with the latest technology and provides the most advanced treatment in the industry. In addition to individual dental implants, Dr. Halusic offers All-on-4® full mouth dental implant treatment guided by CHROME™ GuidedSMILE™ technology to help patients permanently replace broken or missing teeth.

Dr. Halusic has over 35 years of experience as a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Early in the rise of modern dental implants, Dr. Halusic realized 3D imaging plays an instrumental role in providing quality dental implant care. As a result, he was one of the first oral surgeons to have a CT scan in his office, which is something frequently only offered at hospitals. He was also the first surgeon in the world to perform All-on-4 reconstructive surgery using CHROME guided technology.

CHROME technology provides preplanned, predictable guides for dental implant surgeons. CHROME creates a digital workflow and physical guides to direct an oral surgeon to place the implants in the precise location for the most accurate and longest-lasting results. This technology not only reduces the length of the surgery, but it also reduces prosthetic complications and increases the implants’ long-term success rate.

Dental implants provide a permanent tooth replacement solution to missing teeth and loose or ill-fitting dentures. A dental implant is a titanium post that is gently inserted into the jawbone and topped with a dental crown. The dental crown is customized to match the patient’s facial aesthetics and personal preferences. Unlike traditional dentures, which provide only a 10% chewing efficiency compared to natural teeth, the crowns on dental implants are made of such strong material, they can fully restore a patient’s ability to speak and chew.

Dr. Halusic provides cutting-edge dental implant treatment along with his associate, Dr. Christian Moore, at The Facial Surgery Center. For the convenience of their patients, they offer this service at two locations, with practices in Greensburg and Mt. Pleasant, PA.

Those looking for a permanent solution to replace missing teeth in Greensburg, Mt. Pleasant, and surrounding Pittsburgh, PA areas can connect with Drs. Halusic and Moore for a consultation. To schedule an appointment at The Facial Surgery Center, call 724-836-1060 for the Greensburg, PA location, 724-547-0999 for the Mt. Pleasant, PA location, or visit http://www.thefacialsurgerycenter.com.

About the Oral Surgeons

California’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies for 2020

Leave a comment


Gateway Genomics logo


LA JOLLA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Gateway Genomics, a leading developer of direct-to-consumer genetic tests that give families insight into their future children, was recognized in last year’s annual Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the United States. In this year’s Inc. 5000 California list, Gateway Genomics rose to be the 17th fastest-growing private company in the state, and #1 in the Health sector.

“California has many heavy hitters in the biotech industry,” says Gateway Genomics CEO, Chris Jacob. “To attain the top ranking in the state where Illumina, Genomic Health, and Guardant Health were born and launched is a strong achievement, and a testament to the vision of the company, which is to unlock previously inaccessible prenatal and pediatric genetic information, to help parents give their children the best lives possible.”

The company’s flagship product, the SneakPeek Early Gender DNA Test, is designed to specifically focus on fetal sex and return just one answer – male or female. The test is available in two ways: An At-Home version that can be ordered from an ecommerce website and taken at home, and a Clinical version that is offered in over 500 participating locations. Both can be taken at 8 weeks into pregnancy, providing gender results with 99.1% accuracy in as little as 48 hours. The company is planning additional DNA-based tests later this year that will give parents a window of insight into their developing child.

To qualify for the California list, companies must have had $100,000 in revenue in 2016, and ranking was determined by percentage revenue growth between 2016 to 2018. With 861% revenue growth from 2016 to 2018, Gateway Genomics ranked #17 in the list, and #1 in the Health sector.

“The companies on this list demonstrate just how much the small-business sector impacts California’s economy,” says Inc. editor in chief Scott Omelianuk. “Across every single industry, these businesses have posted revenue and growth rates that are beyond impressive, further proving the tenacity of their founders and CEOs.”

About Gateway Genomics

Gateway Genomics is a personal genomics company with the mission to develop leading-edge genetic tests that give families a new level of understanding about their future children. Since inception, more than 180,000 SneakPeek Early Gender DNA tests have been provided to help new parents bond with their babies, make plans, and connect with friends and family around them. Gateway Genomics is located in La Jolla, CA.

R3 Stem Cell Teams Up With Veterans in Pain (VIP) to Offer Regenerative Therapies for Burn Pit Syndrome

Leave a comment


R3 Stem Cell Heroes Program

R3 Stem Cell Teams Up With V.I.P. Program for Burn Pit Therapies

Burn Pit is a very difficult problem without answers with conventional treatments. Veterans make significant sacrifices for America, and the least we can do is try to help! We’re excited to team up with V.I.P. and hopefully improve quality of life.


LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)

The R3 Stem Cell Heroes Program has joined forces with Veterans In Pain, (V.I.P.), a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to provide groundbreaking exosome therapies for Veterans suffering from the devastating systemic effects of Burn Pit. The exosome procedures are being offered complimentary to Veterans.

WHAT IS BURN PIT:

During the OEF and OIF wars, government contractors burned up to 227 metric tons of hazardous waste at operating bases using jet fuel in large ground pits. Items burned included: batteries, medical waste, amputated body parts, plastics, ammunition, human waste, animal carcasses, rubber, chemicals, & more.

Exposure to these toxins has caused a traumatic impact on the lives of many service members and their families. Some of the devastating health conditions suffered by Veterans exposed include: neurological disorders, pulmonary diseases, rare forms of cancer, and many unexplained symptoms.

There have been thousands of deaths resulting from the invisible wounds of war, which represents the “Agent Orange” of a newer generation. Veterans In Pain, (V.I.P.) became aware of Burn Pit through an application received by Le Roy Torres, who will be the first Burn Pit Veteran to receive treatment through the V.I.P. and R3 partnership.

The free regenerative exosome procedures for Burn Pit will be taking place in Las Vegas at the R3 Stem Cell Training Course. In addition, over a dozen additional Veterans will receive free regenerative therapies who are suffering from joint pain and other ailments.

According to David Greene, MD, MBA, “Burn Pit is a very difficult problem without answers with conventional treatments. Veterans make significant sacrifices for America, and the least we can do is try to help! We’re excited to team up with V.I.P. and hopefully improve quality of life.”

VETERANS IN PAIN, (V.I.P.):

V.I.P. is the first IRS-Certified nonprofit to facilitate regenerative medical solutions for Veterans suffering from chronic pain, by connecting civilian physicians, with our country’s heroes, nationwide.

Founded by its President, Micaela Bensko, V.I.P. has currently provided almost $250,000 in value-of-services through its volunteer physician network for Veterans who had otherwise been told there was no solution to their chronic pain disease, that its late-onset could not be connected to service, or after years of trying, could not obtain access to a solution due to red-tape bureaucracy.

R3 STEM CELL:

Dr. David Greene, the Founder of R3 Stem Cell, an international stem cell network of regenerative specialists having conducted thousands of stem cell procedures, joined the V.I.P. Roster in 2020. It was this partnership between V.I.P. and the R3 Heroes program, through which V.I.P.’s Veterans suffering from Burn Pit, a condition which has no designated cure, have finally been offered hope.

BURN PIT VETERAN:

The first Veteran to undergo treatment within the R3-V.I.P. Exosome Pulmonary Therapy study is Le Roy Torres. Torres has suffered from Burn Pit for years, and is a Burn Pit advocate who in 2009, launched the go-to information site http://www.BurnPits360.org, and is championed with having been responsible for establishing the first government-sanctioned Burn Pit Veteran Registry.

MEDIA WELCOME:

Procedures will take place at the R3 Stem Cell Training Workshop in Henderson, NV on March 14th.

Transformational Speaker Kirsten Barfoot Attacking The “Disconnection Virus” With Australian Speaking Tour “Self Love, The Missing Link”

Leave a comment


There’s disconnection at an epidemic level. Self love is the answer and it’s time to speak out.


BRISBANE, Australia (PRWEB)

In a world with billions of social media accounts, one might say there is more connection than ever, but for transformational speaker Kirsten Barfoot, it’s actually trending in the opposite direction. Instead of connection, we are suffering from a “Disconnection Virus,” where technology and the pressures and distractions of modern life disconnects us from ourselves and, ultimately, other people, according to Barfoot.

In her upcoming speaking tour, “Self Love, The Missing Link In Leadership And Business,” with its first stop in Brisbane, February 20th, at the Relaxation Centre Of Queensland, from 7 to 9PM, Barfoot is setting out to transform the way people connect to themselves and others, especially in business contexts. The second tour stop is on the Gold Coast, at TFI Dentistry, in Labrador, on February 26th, from 7 to 9PM. From there, the tour continues into the Sunshine Coast and beyond, with dates and exact locations to be confirmed and announced.

Prospective audience members can anticipate a talk which is informational and transformational. The informational portion of the talk addresses what Barfoot calls the “contagious cultural conditions” which influence and reward behaviors which separate people, even though we assume we’re creating connection. “Working with people one on one, I often see patterns and observe things the client cannot see, or what we call blindspots. These blindspots are happening at the cultural level, and are causing disconnection at an epidemic level, and it’s time to speak out,” Barfoot said.

In the transformational portion of her talk, Barfoot guides participants through her five step “Lead With Your Soul” method (“Clear,” “Connect,” “Clarify,” “Create,” and “Change”), where they can quickly work through any disconnection problem showing up in their personal life, relationships, and/or businesses. Recent client Randa Mayers adds, “Through her self love teachings and firm, gentle guidance, she facilitated a situation which reconnected me to increased confidence, higher income, and an expanded support network.”


  • Transformational Speaker Kirsten Barfoot launches multi-city speaking tour in Australia to help people reconnect through self-love

  • The Self Love Tour starts in Brisbane on February 20th, from 7 to 9PM, at the Relaxation Centre Of Queensland

  • In the talk, “Self Love, The Missing Link In Leadership And Business,” audience members learn a modern transformational method they can apply anywhere and anytime

Kirsten Barfoot International is an Australian based, transformational education business, whose mission is to help the world remember what self-love is and to apply it profitably to leadership and commerce.

RIVERSIDE, Mo. (PRWEB)

Rolling Strong, the provider of driver wellness programs for transportation companies and their drivers, as well as owner-operators, today announced that Skyline Transportation, Inc. is realizing steady adoption of its health and wellness mobile app among drivers and other personnel.

“Since introducing the Rolling Strong app about three months ago we’ve had over 30 percent of our 160 drivers and office staff register and begin using the program,” said Bonnie Garrabrant, HR manager at Skyline Transportation. “We’ve been a family-owned company for more than 65 years, and after our founder passed away suddenly his family wanted to take extra steps to take care of our family of employees. With Rolling Strong, we have a partner who is behind us every step of the way as we work to help everyone improve their health and wellness.

“We believe that our stability and success are driven by the support we can provide to our employees,” Garrabrant added. “With Rolling Strong, we are able to put their health and wellness first while focusing our own resources on business needs. They handle a lot of the time-consuming work for us by promoting their app to drivers through emails, social media and literature. We really like what they’ve done in a very short amount of time.”

Skyline Transportation is also working to encourage enrollment in the Rolling Strong app through competitions where company employees can earn prizes for signing up, getting wellness checks, speaking to CDL wellness coaches who can provide mobile or live support through the platform, and taking steps to improve nutrition, fitness, sleep, and stress and weight management. Prizes have included gift cards and Fitbit devices.

Founded in 1954 and based in Knoxville, Tennessee, Skyline Transportation is an asset-based carrier that provides truckload, dedicated fleet, specialized and expedited services. The company offers its drivers competitive pay and benefits packages, weekly schedules that guarantee home time, and trucks with amenities that include APUs and EpicVue in-cab satellite TV.

“Prevention is the key to good health and for trucking companies and their employees it could also lead to lower healthcare costs,” said Stephen Kane, president of Rolling Strong. “Skyline Transportation has had an exceptional response in registrations for the Rolling Strong platform for those reasons, and the more their drivers hear about it, the more they will be encouraged to use the app’s capabilities to improve their health and wellness.”

The First, in Scottsdale, Arizona, Offers CE/CME to Address the Public Health Crisis of Opioid Abuse

Leave a comment


News Image

…my new PAINWeekEnd talks on risk mitigation and documentation are designed to help you demonstrate meaningful risk mitigation processes and document individualized patient care plans. The time you invest…will help preserve patient access to quality pain care!


MONTCLAIR, N.J. (PRWEB)

PAINWeekEnd on March 21 and 22 at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort, 6333 North Scottsdale Road, in Arizona, will be a timely and relevant 2-day program providing busy clinicians and allied healthcare practitioners with 12.0 hours of relevant, practical instruction in the management of chronic pain.

In 2020, paper prescriptions for certain painkillers have been banned in Arizona. For schedule II controlled opioids, healthcare professionals are required to submit prescriptions electronically to pharmacists, to crack down on forged prescriptions. This requirement is part of the Arizona Opioid Epidemic Act signed into law by Governor Doug Ducey in 2018.

At PAINWeekEnd Scottsdale, senior faculty member Jen Bolen will be among the presenters. Her presentations are called: Drugs, Documentation, and DEA: Improving your Charting of Prescribing Rationale in 2020 and Beyond and Through the Lens of Experts: Meaningful Risk Mitigation and Patient Education. Attorney Bolen commented, “The DEA and licensing boards continue to aggressively pursue cases against healthcare providers for inappropriate opioid prescribing. Bad outcomes in these cases are typically the result of overly generalized risk mitigation processes and poor documentation. While you may not be able to stop an investigation or lawsuit, my new PAINWeekEnd 2020 talks on risk mitigation and documentation are designed to help you demonstrate meaningful risk mitigation processes and document individualized patient care plans. The time you invest in yourself and your practice skills will be well spent, and will help preserve patient access to quality pain care! See you soon!”

Other courses include Pain Pathways Made Simple; Nonopioid Analgesics, Adjuvants, and Antidepressants; Interventional Pain Management: Opioid-Sparing Technologies; Clinical Pearls: Unraveling the Secrets of Imaging Studies; Rational Polypharmacy; Spinal Stenosis: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment; After the Goldrush: Testing Medical Cannabis and CBD in Chronic Pain Patients; What’s All the “GABA” About? Pregabalin and Gabapentin Abuse; and Everybody’s Greasing Up, But Should You Rub It In? A Review of Topical Analgesics and Available Evidence in Clinical Trials.

Commercially supported activities—addressing a range of product, disease state, and medical information topics—will also be presented.

For more information about this or other regional conferences, and to register for $199, go to the PAINWeekEnd website. BONUS: PAINWeekEnd registrants may register for the 2020 PAINWeek National Conference, September 8-12, in Las Vegas, for $200 off the regular online published price.
