This segment of the program will feature leaders in the field of infectious disease and virus protection who will discuss why these steps are so critical, and the future outlook of disease prevention and safety.

MIAMI (PRWEB)
February 13, 2020

Laurence Fishburne, the talented Academy Award-nominated actor, and one of the stars of the “John Wick” franchise and television programs like “Blackish”, will introduce a new educational episode of the series “Behind The Scenes”. In this episode, medical professionals will discuss the spread of contagious viruses, including the Flu, and how individuals and organizations can be vigilant in helping combat infection. The segment is designed to be informative and enlightening for viewing audiences.

Each year, at the outset of flu season, the public is flooded with information regarding safety precautions and necessary steps to prevent illness… and for good reason. Recently, the flu has been responsible or partially responsible for over ten thousand deaths every year. In the 2019-2020 flu season, the CDC estimated that between twenty three and thirty one million cases of the flu would be transmitted, meaning an extremely active timeframe for the virus and the possibility of even more loss of life than recent years.

As many are aware, receiving a flu vaccine every year is one of the most effective methods of preventing transmission of the virus. Not only does a flu shot help individuals protect their own health, but it also reduces stress on the healthcare and hospital systems, which often absorb hundreds of thousands of medical visits that are flu-related. Additionally, individuals and families can use additional preventative measures, such as sanitizing their hands as well as their homes, offices, and locations of frequent visitation.

These are also helpful to prevent the transmission of other viruses, germs, and diseases that can be hazardous to consumer health. As concern over the recent coronavirus outbreak in the Wuhan region of China continues to escalate, and with the death toll now over one thousand, many are effectively changing their habits and taking further precautions to keep themselves and their families healthy.

This segment of the program will feature leaders in the field of infectious disease and virus protection who will discuss why these steps are so critical, and the future outlook of disease prevention and safety.

“Behind The Scenes” is hosted by Laurence Fishburne, and is anchored by a veteran development and production team that have won numerous awards for their achievements in educational television. The content produced by the program is quality checked prior to dissemination to a national television audience.

Over 1 billion animals have died in the Australia bushfires, but the survivors are getting relief from Multi Radiance Medical Super Pulsed Laser Therapy.

We are proud to support the hardworking veterinarians as they work tirelessly to save this iconic species, and we’re humbled that our technology is making a difference in their road to recovery.

CLEVELAND (PRWEB)
February 12, 2020

The recent devastating Australian bushfires have killed an estimated one billion animals, including the koala. The native species has existed in Australia for thousands of years and has become iconic of the country.

The 2019 bushfires have accelerated the decimation of the already-endangered koala population. Authorities estimate that one-third of the current koala population has died in the bushfires. In addition, their habitats and food sources have been destroyed. Experts say it could take over 100 years for the koalas to repopulate to pre-bushfire levels.

Fortunately, many good Samaritans are helping to rescue and treat injured koalas, which have escaped with severe, painful burn injuries.

Enter the staff and volunteers at the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital in New South Wales, Australia. The Koala Hospital normally treats 3-4 koalas a month, but the facility has been at capacity during the 2019 bushfire season, treating 60+ koalas at any one time.

After seeing extensive media coverage of the hospital’s incredible recovery efforts, veterinary equipment distributor REM Systems introduced a technology manufactured near Cleveland, Ohio to help relieve pain and accelerate healing in the marsupials: Multi Radiance Medical Super Pulsed Laser Therapy.

The staff immediately started noticing results on the painful burns once they incorporated the laser into the regular treatment regimen. “We’ve had a lot of burn cases over the years and I really think it did speed up the healing process,” remarked Cheyne Flanagan, Port Macquarie Koala Hospital Director.

The Koala Hospital staff also appreciated the cordless, handheld laser for its ease of use and treatments that only take a few minutes to administer.

Low-level laser therapy has been studied and used in both human and veterinary medicine for over half a century. Multi Radiance Super Pulsed Laser Therapy technology emits light photons that penetrate deep into tissue and kickstart the healing process in the injured cells. Additionally, a unique blue light setting kills bacteria and helps fight infection, allowing burns to heal up to 50% faster than traditional antibiotics.

Multi Radiance technology is super pulsed, meaning the laser is emitted in billionth of a second pulses so it generates no heat. This makes it an ideal treatment for painful burns and open wounds. Other high-intensity therapeutic lasers would not be indicated for such severe wounds.

Saving koalas is one of the first steps in recovery for those areas affected by the fires. Experts predict the effects of the bushfires will be felt for decades – even centuries for certain populations like the koala – but Multi Radiance is grateful to be able to support the veterinarians and community members as they begin to rebuild.

“Thank you to Simone Taylor and Matt Jones, DVM, at REM Systems for your work introducing laser therapy to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital,” said J. Mark Strong, Multi Radiance Director of Global Business Development. “We are proud to support the hardworking veterinarians as they work tirelessly to save this iconic species, and we’re humbled that our technology is making a difference in their road to recovery.”

The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital is accepting a variety of donations, such as adopting a recovered koala to help it return to the wild or having a koala food tree planted. Find out how you can help by visiting the koala hospital’s website.

About Multi Radiance Medical

Headquartered in Solon, Ohio, Multi Radiance Medical manufactures FDA-cleared super pulsed laser therapy devices for pain relief, wound healing, inflammation control and more in veterinary medicine. For 10 years, Multi Radiance laser technology has offered veterinary professionals a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free alternative to traditional prescription medications and surgery.
