Health Naturals has announced the release of their newest informational guide: A guide to How the Brain Works. From physical characteristics that map out weight, length, and color to an in-depth look at how our neurons fire and communicate, this guide explains many of the systems and pathways that allow our brain to power how we think.

“If the human body were a machine, the brain would be the computerized system that receives input and controls what all the other parts do.” says a spokesperson from Health Naturals. “Although it can be divided into multiple sections, they all function as one whole. All areas rely on others to perform both complicated and simple tasks.”

With a look at the four lobes, the cerebrum, and the brain stem, this is an all-purpose guide that can explain form and function to someone unfamiliar with the human body’s central processor. Additionally, this provides an intuitive look at how all facets of the brain work in coordination to power the central nervous and peripheral nervous system.

Empowering women to make informed decisions about their healthcare is part of our mission at SGF. My approach is to be very transparent with my patients about all of their options and help them to feel confident in whatever decision they make, said Dr. Brauer.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
February 06, 2020

Physicians from Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) New York will host a unique patient seminar for women with endometriosis who are seeking to learn about their fertility preservation options on Monday, February 24, 2020, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. The event is co-sponsored by SGF New York and the Seckin Endometriosis Center with additional support by the Endometriosis Foundation of America. One (1) attendee will receive a free egg freezing treatment cycle at SGF New York.

Attendees will hear from leading experts in endometriosis and egg freezing:

Karli Goldstein, M.D., Seckin Endometriosis Center Associate Surgeon, and Board Certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist

Tamer Seckin, M.D., Seckin Endometriosis Center Founder, Surgeon, and Board Certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist

Anate Brauer, M.D., SGF New York IVF Director and Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist

Tomer Singer, M.D., SGF New York Medical Director and Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist

During the event, Dr. Goldstein will cover the medical impact and her first-hand experience living with endometriosis, while Dr. Seckin, a renowned endometriosis specialist, will discuss the surgical management of endometriosis.

“Endometriosis, a painful condition where the tissue lining the inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterine cavity, affects approximately 48 percent of women with infertility. It likely affects someone you know. We’re here to raise awareness about the disease and empower women with options and inform them of their endometriosis management and fertility preservation options,” said Dr. Seckin.

“As a stage IV endometriosis patient and now endometriosis surgeon myself, it’s always been my passion to promote wellness with an integrative approach. I can empathize with patients throughout all aspects of care,” said Dr. Goldstein.

Egg freezing allows women with endometriosis to preserve the existing quantity and quality of their eggs and fertility at present. Vitrification, or flash-freezing, has shown to be an is efficient and effective method of freezing eggs that demonstrates strong survival, fertilization, and embryonic development rates after frozen eggs have been thawed, thereby preserving family building options.

Dr. Brauer will offer attendees a deep dive into SGF’s egg freezing process, a fertility-preservation option that’s growing in popularity at an unprecedented 20 percent per year, nationally, with even higher growth rates in New York City and surrounding areas. SGF holds the spot as one of the leading egg freezing programs in the U.S., and the number of women choosing egg freezing at SGF continues to rise.

“Empowering women to make informed decisions about their healthcare is part of our mission at SGF. My approach is to be very transparent with my patients about all of their options and help them to feel confident in whatever decision they make,” said Dr. Brauer, who sees patients in SGF New York’s Manhattan location.

Dr. Singer will share SGF’s success rates, with SGF being one of only a few centers in the nation with published success rates for women who return to use their frozen eggs. In addition, he will cover what to expect during fertility testing to determine candidacy for egg freezing, what to expect during an egg freezing cycle, financial programs, SGF’s refund guarantees for egg freezing, and much more.

“My approach is to support and empower my patients with the information they need to guide them in making the right medical decisions for them,” said Singer, who also sees patients in SGF New York’s Manhattan location.

All attendees will be entered into a raffle where one (1) attendee will receive a free egg freezing treatment cycle at SGF New York. The cycle giveaway is valid only for a future egg freezing cycle at SGF New York. Clinical eligibility does apply. The raffle drawing will take place at the event.

The seminar will be hosted in SGF New York’s new 15,300 square foot space, conveniently located at 110 East 60th Street—minutes from nine NY subway stations providing easy access from all boroughs as well as Westchester, Long Island, and Connecticut, and steps from Bloomingdales, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and The Plaza Hotel.

Home-based, Vestibular Virtual Reality system for treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance

The advanced home-based VVR treatment system for dizziness, vertigo and imbalance is unique because it allows a doctor to remotely monitor a patient’s progress and adjust treatment prescriptions, accordingly, says Dr. Howard T. Mango.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 06, 2020

Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute (the Institute) has launched a patent-pending, home-based, Vestibular Virtual Reality (VVR) system for the treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which is now available to national and international patients. The home-based VVR treatment system is built on the technology and proprietary Advanced Vestibular Treatment™ clinical protocols the Institute utilized to effectively treat Mark Cuban for dizziness caused by vestibular (inner ear) dysfunction. Vestibular dysfunction is a prominent cause of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which nearly half of the U.S. population will experience in their lifetimes.

The advanced home-based VVR treatment system for dizziness, vertigo and imbalance is unique because it allows a doctor to remotely monitor a patient’s progress and adjust treatment prescriptions, accordingly, providing superior treatment outcomes vs. self-directed home therapy. The VVR treatment system is exclusively available to patients of the Institute and promises to deliver effective treatment to patients at home who suffer from often debilitating dizziness, vertigo and imbalance.

The home-based VVR treatment system is an extension of the Institute’s trademarked Advanced Vestibular Treatment. The proprietary clinical process is a “top-down” approach to diagnosing and treating dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which starts with the vestibular system where a large portion of these disorders originate. Directed by doctors of audiology, Advanced Vestibular Treatment incorporates physical exercises with optokinetic stimulation to both desensitize visual motion disturbance and help restore balance function by utilizing integration techniques between the vestibular, visual and somatosensory inputs. Advanced Vestibular Treatment can be more efficient and effective than traditional “bottom-up” therapies, such as vestibular rehabilitation therapy, that utilize exercises and core strengthening for postural control.

“The home-based VVR treatment system is a new and revolutionary aspect of Advanced Vestibular Treatment,” says Dr. Howard T. Mango, CEO and founder of Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute. “The underlying clinical protocols are proven to effectively treat vestibular related balance issues, as with Mark Cuban. The introduction of the VVR treatment system to deliver this clinical efficacy at home is a far-reaching way to help restore patients to activity levels prior to the onset of their symptoms.”

To get the VVR treatment system, patients must first undergo a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation at the Institute. If vestibular dysfunction is diagnosed, a recommendation for treatment is prescribed by one of the Institute’s doctors of audiology. Patients then begin home-based treatment through the VVR system with an accompanying concierge care plan of their choosing. Patients are cared for by their doctor of audiology during treatment through regular phone and online appointments, as well as remote monitoring to evaluate treatment progress, with adjustments to treatment prescriptions implemented throughout.

The VVR treatment system is available to patients for purchase or lease and includes self-contained virtual reality goggle system, mobile phone application, Advanced Vestibular Treatment web portal, patient-specific optokinetic treatment stimuli and physical exercise videos.

“Virtual reality, real-time connectivity and Advanced Vestibular Treatment are a true convergence of high-tech and high-touch healthcare,” says Dr. Mango. “From the convenience of each patient’s home, we can now deliver highly personalized, highly effective treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance. For dizziness, Vestibular Virtual Reality is a home-healthcare gamechanger.”
