Combining MRM Health’s unique technology platform with DuPont knowledge and experience provides a unique opportunity to accelerate the discovery and development of new therapeutic products in areas such as metabolic health.


COPENHAGEN (PRWEB)

DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences (DuPont) today announced a collaboration with the MRM Health NV (MRM Health), a biopharmaceutical company, focused on the discovery and development of innovative therapeutics based on the human microbiome. MRM Health also confirmed the successful completion of its first external investment round with the participation of Ackermans & van Haaren, DuPont, MRM Technologies, Qbic II and VIB.

DuPont and MRM Health will join forces to tackle a range of metabolic diseases, in which the proprietary MRM Health technology platform and some selected DuPont strains will be combined to develop novel therapeutics based on live bacterial strain combinations.

“We are thrilled to partner with MRM Health to jointly develop the next generation of microbiome products. Combining MRM Health’s unique technology platform with DuPont knowledge and experience provides a unique opportunity to accelerate the discovery and development of new therapeutic products in areas such as metabolic health,” said Sebastien Guery, Human Microbiome Venture Leader, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences.

“We are excited to enter into a partnership with DuPont for the discovery and development of innovative therapies for metabolic diseases. We believe their extensive capabilities in the microbiome field together with our expertise and proprietary technology platform for developing gut microbiome-based therapeutics are a great combination in the quest to deliver a novel class of natural and efficacious solutions for millions of patients worldwide. In addition, we are delighted to have the financial support of long-term investor Ackermans & van Haaren, venture capital fund Qbic II and expert microbiome players MRM Technologies and DuPont, and to continue and strengthen our long-standing strategic partnership with VIB,” said Sam Possemiers, CEO and co-founder of MRM Health.

The proceeds of the investment round provide MRM Health with the financing resources to advance its lead program(1) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to clinical studies in different patient populations and to further progress its ongoing discovery programs to deliver potential breakthrough treatments in Spondyloarthritis and other indications. Through the strategic partnership with VIB, MRM Health will leverage the extensive complementary microbiome and bioinformatics capabilities of the lab of Professor Jeroen Raes, VIB – KU Leuven and the multidisciplinary know-how and patient insights in arthritis and inflammatory diseases of Professor Dirk Elewaut, VIB – UGent and his team.

Women’s Excellence Offers Minimally Invasive Treatment Options for Urinary Incontinence

Leave a comment


News Image


DETROIT (PRWEB)

Urinary incontinence is a common ailment that many women face. This life altering and often embarrassing condition can be treated. Women’s Excellence offers a variety of minimally invasive treatment solutions for women suffering from urinary leakage.

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine or loss of bladder control. This type of urinary leakage is caused from pressure or stress on the bladder caused from everyday actions like coughing, sneezing, lifting heavy items, or even laughing.

Dr. Jonathan Zaidan, MD, FACOG, President of Women’s Excellence understands the severity of this common problem. “Leaking when you laugh or sneeze? Talk about a life-altering problem! Although bladder leakage can be common for most women as they age, it is important to understand that urinary leakage is not normal!” says Dr. Zaidan. “Our team at Women’s Excellence takes a comprehensive approach to these types of problems because every woman is different and there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to bladder problems.”

Before a treatment plan is created, Women’s Excellence utilizes convenient in-office testing modalities like urodynamics and cystoscopy to evaluate and assess how the patient’s bladder stores and releases urine and to look directly into the bladder to visually identify any bladder abnormalities.

Proof of Weight Loss Surgery Benefits Continues to Grow with Breathing Study, says Beverly Hills Physicians

Leave a comment


A health and beauty medical group serving Southern California and beyond.

Permanently defeating obesity becomes vastly more achievable when urges to eat excessively are reduced or quieted completely.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

A January 28 article on Reuters suggests that successful weight loss surgery may have a positive effect on a patient’s ability to breathe. The article notes that obese individuals often have breathing difficulties due to fatty tissue in the chest and abdomen obstructing airways in the lungs. However, patients who in the study who underwent bariatric surgery and successfully lost weight removed or at least reduced excess pressure on their lungs, making it easier to breathe – no small matter for overall health. Weight loss and plastic surgery center Beverly Hills Physicians says that the findings only add to an increasingly huge list of extremely well documented bariatric surgery benefits.

Beverly Hills Physicians says that severe obesity is not only unhealthy and often damaging to self-esteem, it can also be physically debilitating, relegating many individuals to a sedentary lifestyle that further exacerbates their weight problem. The problem for many obese individuals, the medical group notes, is that no matter how well patients understand the dangers of obesity and no matter how much they may sincerely want to look and feel better, losing weight without assistance can be incredibly difficult – and permanently defeating obesity is next to impossible for most people.

The health and beauty medical group explains that the exact mechanisms behind the grim statistics on attempts at long-term weight loss are not fully understood but hormones do appear to be the crux of the problem. Overweight and obese people are believed to produce a great deal more of a hormone known as ghrelin compared to thinner individuals. The problem becomes compounded because, as the body senses weight loss, it produces even more hunger hormones to get us to eat more and regain our lost weight – all because our bodies were made to endure in a world where famine and starvation was a constant risk, instead of an environment like ours, where high-calorie foods are cheap and constantly available. No wonder then, says Beverly Hills Physicians, notes that even people with the enormous will power needed to achieve their ideal weight typically regain that lost weight within a distressingly short time period.

The medical group further says that the reason that weight loss surgery is effective is that it gets at the core of the problem: appetite. Procedures like a sleeve gastrectomy can actually operate on two levels. The first goal of weight loss surgery is to limit the size of a patient’s stomach. This can make it uncomfortable or even painful to consume large amounts of food and can sometimes induce a condition called dumping syndrome, which is every bit as unpleasant as it sounds. These concerns can definitely help train the patient’s mind to desire food less, says Beverly Hills Physician. The second function, the medical group continues, is that some procedures significantly reduce the production of the aforementioned hunger hormone, so patients may have little or no interest in overeating in the first place. Beverly Hills Physicians says that, while bariatric patients still have to do the work of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, permanently defeating obesity becomes vastly more achievable when urges to eat excessively are reduced or quieted completely.

New Offering From Breach Clarity Gives Financial Institutions Hyper-Personalized, Customer-Level Breach Risk Intelligence

Leave a comment



SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Fraud prevention and detection technology firm Breach Clarity, which analyzes and scores every publicly reported U.S. data breach based on more than 1,000 factors, has developed a new machine learning platform for financial service providers to enable highly targeted protections for customers. Underpinned by a proprietary algorithm developed by data security expert Jim Van Dyke, the platform offers two sets of tools: one for the provider and another for the consumer.

Earlier this year, Van Dyke launched BreachClarity.com, a consumer site that offers no-cost access to a searchable database of breaches, their respective Breach Clarity Scores and the most relevant protective actions. The database now includes more than 4,000 incidents, and is growing at an average rate of 50 breaches each week.

According to Van Dyke, Breach Clarity Premium for Financial Services solves several of the most common problems faced by banks, credit unions, card issuers and other financial providers after a public data breach. “Financial institutions are in a bad spot when it comes to data breach fallout,” said Van Dyke. “These breaches, most of which they have zero control over, are coming fast and furious, yet the actual damage can take years to occur. We first developed Breach Clarity to help the consumer fight back against the routine theft of their personal information. Now, we’re equipping their financial providers with much greater intelligence to help them strengthen everyone’s financial health.”

For the provider, Breach Clarity Premium generates:

Clarity around impacted customers and stolen data – Breach Clarity Premium identifies and analyzes breaches affecting the customer. The platform factors the types of personally identifiable information (PII) exposed in any particular breach to predict the types of identity fraud risk it creates. It also generates recommendations on the most effective actions to mitigate both the consumer and the financial provider’s losses.

Easier security activation for customers – To empower their customers in the fight against identity theft and other breach-originating crimes, most financial institutions provide their customers with at least one security control tool or feature. The tools are often expensive for the financial provider, and on average, not many customers use them. Breach Clarity Premium plugs seamlessly into online and mobile banking apps to create a simple, event-driven pathway for customers to activate those controls.

Reduction in contact center volume – Inbound calls, emails and chats can swell to unmanageable levels during news reports of a major data breach. Breach Clarity Premium helps address customers’ concerns and questions after a data breach, eliminating the need to engage the financial provider through other channels.

For the customer, Breach Clarity Premium provides:


  • A simple, trusted alternative to today’s onslaught of news related to identity scams and fraud, provided directly through their financial provider’s online banking or mobile app.

  • Powerful information on the risks created by each data breach affecting them, including a Breach Clarity Score and incident-specific action steps.

  • A custom breach history that includes all breaches impacting the customer.

  • The ability to locate breaches the customer may be unaware of using only their email address.

“A platform like this is what the financial services industry has been missing,” said Tom Shaw, Breach Clarity advisory board member and former VP of financial crimes management for USAA. “Banks and credit unions are deploying all kinds of strategies and technologies to protect the institution and the customer from the fallout of data breaches. Rarely are those response mechanisms tailored precisely to the customers impacted. Breach Clarity has figured out how enable a hyper-personalized response, and to do it at scale.”
