New Published Study Documents Double The Expected Reduction In C.Diff


Dr. Edmond Hooker

This study demonstrates the ability of the Soteria Bed Barrier protocol to help reduce infection rates in the acute care setting.

A new study completed by Xavier University researchers and Bon Secours Mercy Health Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital (OLBH) achieved a 59 percent decrease in hospital onset CDI. This is double the recent nationwide CDI reduction goal established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The retrospective pre-post [study recently published in The Journal of Health Economics and Outcomes Research,* evaluated the impact of two interventions implemented together; a launderable bed barrier for hospital beds (Soteria® Bed Barrier, Trinity Guardion, Batesville IN) designed to improve mattress disinfection, and an antibiotic stewardship program based on guidelines from the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

“The excellent results of this study were not entirely unexpected,” said Dr. Edmond A. Hooker, the study’s lead author and professor in the Department of Health Services Administration at Xavier University. “We published results in 2015 proving the effectiveness of this bed barrier in helping reduce C. diff in long-term care settings**, so we expected a significant CDI reduction. This study demonstrates the ability of the Soteria Bed Barrier protocol to help reduce infection rates in the acute care setting as well.”

SweetLeaf® Teams Up with Celebrity Fitness Expert Jorge Cruise Educating Consumers on Healthy Eating Habits


News Image

“SweetLeaf products fit perfectly into my winning Cruise Control plan of including a plant-based sweetener with zero calories/carbs, no sugar, and delicious taste into your diet.”

SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener, the world’s most trusted stevia brand™, is teaming up with celebrity fitness expert and best-selling nutrition author Jorge Cruise to educate consumers on losing weight through better diets with low to no sugars and intermittent fasting.

“I’m an enthusiastic advocate of intermittent fasting, that is fat burning and boosting your energy, and for reducing added sugars in the diet and replacing them with healthier alternatives,” said Cruise. “SweetLeaf products fit perfectly into my winning Cruise Control plan of including a plant-based sweetener with zero calories/carbs, no sugar, and delicious taste into your diet. I just had to reach out to the owner of SweetLeaf for a partnership. What a great match!”

“Jorge Cruise knows the importance of managing dietary sugars,” said Carol May, CEO of Wisdom Natural Brands, maker of SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener. “We’re happy to partner with Jorge to give Americans the knowledge they need to make wiser food and beverage choices, which will lead to a healthier, longer lifestyle.”

Cruise will write blogs featuring SweetLeaf products, give VIP gift boxes with SweetLeaf products to celebrities, feature SweetLeaf products in his “Ask Jorge” streaming series, post on social media about SweetLeaf and appear in SweetLeaf ads. Jorge Cruise will make a special appearance at the SweetLeaf booth in March at Natural Products Expo West 2020 in Anaheim, Calif.

Cruise’s 30-plus titles have sold more than 8 million copies. After writing the No. 1 New York Times best-selling book “The 100,” Cruise shifted his focus to the dangers of sugar calories. Cruise believes the rise of insulin levels from consuming sugars and carbohydrates contributes to belly fat.

Cruise has worked with many celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Mario Lopez, Katie Couric, Bethenny Frankel, Kelly Clarkson, Anderson Cooper, Tyra Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Khloe Kardashian, Miley Cyrus and Steve Harvey. He has appeared on numerous TV shows including “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “Good Morning America,” the “Today” show, “Dateline NBC,” “The View,” “The Tyra Banks Show,” Steve Harvey’s talk show and “Dr. Oz.”

Free Event for Moms of Children With Autism by Therapy and Beyond


Mom's Mingle

Mom’s Mingles

“Mingling with other moms in a safe and motivating environment leaves a lasting impression on our Autism moms & allows them to continue being the best mothers that they can be. It’s a great feeling when we can get together to be free, glammed up, win prizes, & network.” – Autism Moms Are Beautiful

Each year Therapy and Beyond, a leading ABA provider across Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado, partners with local organizations to host Mom’s Mingles that are designed for 100+ moms of children with autism. This event allows moms to mingle with others in their community on the same journey, and ultimately, enjoy a night of carefree fun. The highly anticipated 3rd annual North Houston Mom’s Mingle will be held March 23rd, 2020 in North Houston. Registration fills fast and will be open on Friday, February 21st, 2020.

About the Mom’s Mingles

According to the CDC, about 1 in 59 children has been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Because parents play a pivotal role in a child’s treatment, they can often find themselves feeling isolated and lost. The Mom’s Mingles aim to share resources, connect mothers with their local communities, and give moms a night to let their hair down. This year, Therapy and Beyond has partnered with Autism Moms Are Beautiful for moms to indulge in free food, drinks, raffle prizes, Mardi Gras themed games and most importantly, the chance to create new and long lasting friends and support.

Details about the North Houston Mom’s Mingle and other free upcoming events are available on Therapy and Beyond’s event page.

“Autism moms are beautiful and they rock! Mingling with other moms in a safe and motivating environment leaves a lasting impression on our Autism moms and allows them to continue being the best mothers that they can be. It is a great feeling when we can get together to be free, glammed up, as well as win prizes, dance the night away and network. It leaves us feeling excited and motivated!” – Autism Moms Are Beautiful

In 2013, founder of Therapy and Beyond, Dr. Crone wanted to create a community giveback that didn’t focus on a workshop or learning a new skill, but would simply give moms the opportunity to bond and have an amazing night out. In turn, the Mom’s Mingle event was born in Dallas, Texas and since has been so successful that Therapy and Beyond began to establish annual Mom’s Mingles in other cities such as Denver, Oklahoma City, and Houston.

About Therapy and Beyond

Therapy and Beyond was founded in 2006 on the principle that there is hope for every child. Today, they provide 1:1 individualized ABA therapy for individuals on the autism spectrum in Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most commonly prescribed treatment for children on the spectrum, and focuses on expanding functional communication skills, executive functioning skills, and advancing each child’s independence. In addition to helping individuals on the spectrum through ABA, one of Therapy and Beyond’s goals is to find ways to give back to the autism community as a whole, through free events like the Mom’s Mingles and much more.
