Considering Egg Freezing or Donor Egg Treatment? Shady Grove Fertility Invites Those Interested in Family Building Options to Attend Physician-Hosted Events this January

Leave a comment


14 Shady Grove Fertility physicians and experts to host live events this January, including Drs. Anate Brauer and Tomer Singer of SGF New York.

Whether attending a live webinar online, or in-person at a seminar or fertility social, we want to make sure attendees walk away feeling informed and empowered.


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

For women interested in either preserving their fertility through egg freezing, or couples or individuals seeking donor egg treatment as a family building option, Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) will host four live, educational events this January, continuing their commitment to reach and teach the community about available family planning options.

“Since more and more women are waiting longer to have children, the goal of our egg freezing events is to raise awareness about the advantages of egg freezing, and to remind women of the impact that age has on fertility. Not only does our fertility potential decline as we age, but the potential for miscarriages increases as well,” says Anate Brauer, M.D., who will host an Egg Freezing Seminar on Thursday, January 16 at 6:00 p.m., where attendees will be entered into a raffle and one lucky attendee will receive $1,000 off a future egg freezing treatment cycle at SGF New York. “On the other hand, donor egg treatment is an option for those women who can carry a child but are unable to use their own eggs for conception. It’s a path around infertility that has seen 8,000 SGF babies born, thus far.” Dr. Brauer will also host a Donor Egg Seminar on Thursday, January 23 at 6:00 p.m. Attendees will receive a complimentary physician consult and one lucky attendee will receive $1,000 off a future donor egg treatment at SGF New York. Both events are being held in SGF’s Manhattan office in New York, NY.

Dr. Brauer is one of 13 physicians and experts who will host a live event this January where attendees will learn about the patient journey at SGF. January seminar and webinar topics include IVF, affording fertility care and what to expect under the care of a fertility specialist. All events conclude with a question and answer session, allowing attendees to get their questions answered by experts.

“Our events provide reliable and current information so attendees can take that next step of scheduling a fertility consultation,” says Tomer Singer, M.D., who will be hosting a “What to Expect When You’re Not Expecting” seminar in SGF’s Manhattan office, on Tuesday, January 14, at 6:00 p.m. “Whether attending a live webinar online, or in-person at a seminar or fertility social, we want to make sure attendees walk away feeling informed and empowered.” The fertility seminar is free and includes a complimentary physician consult that can be scheduled onsite.

While all SGF in-person and online events are complimentary, interested parties must register to attend by visiting the SGF calendar of events.

Central Research Laboratories® Celebrates Company’s 75th Anniversary in 2020

Leave a comment



RED WING, Minn. (PRWEB)

Central Research Laboratories® (CRL), a global leader in the remote-handling industry, is excited to announce that it will be commemorating its 75th anniversary in 2020.

Founded in the fall of 1945 by three graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Frank G. Chesley, Demetrius Jelatis and Gordon M. Lee – CRL initially began as a developer of radar-testing equipment for the U.S. military. In the ensuing 75 years, CRL has built a “Legacy of Innovation” and become an industry leader in the creation of remote-handling and containment solutions used in the Nuclear and Life Science industries around the world.

“We are incredibly proud to mark this significant milestone – 75 years of developing customized solutions for the specific needs of our clients is a real achievement,” said Tom Gahr, General Manager of CRL. “Developing innovative remote-handling technologies that help our customers achieve their highest level of performance has been the driving force behind the success of CRL since its founding shortly after World War II. That we stand here today, decades later, and continue to be a trusted ‘go-to’ partner for our many global clients, is a true testament to the expertise of the CRL team. Our past has provided a strong foundation and we look forward to a future of innovation.”

The creation of its Telemanipulator product line elevated CRL to the forefront of the remote-handling industry, where it remains the industry standard for the handling of hazardous nuclear materials. CRL Telemanipulators are the first choice for these applications as they are designed to easily and reliably extend the manipulative capabilities of the operator through natural hand motions that are mimicked identically from the master (command) arm to the slave (remote) arm located inside a hot cell.

In addition to its Telemanipulators, CRL’s robust product portfolio also includes Transfer Systems and Glove Ports. Fifty years ago, CRL introduced the innovative Double Door Transfer System and continuously builds upon this proven technology. Today, CRL offers a full family of products for rapid and repeatable transfer of hazardous and sterile materials. CRL Glove Ports are ideal for applications where isolation is required to protect operators or critical processes. These are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate any application need.

To mark its 75th anniversary, CRL will be hosting an Open House and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the brand-new Demonstration Space at its Red Wing, MN, headquarters later this year.

For more information on CRL and the 75-year “Legacy of Innovation” that has enabled it to develop its extensive family of customized remote-handling solutions, all of which are backed by superior customer service, please visit crlsolutions.com.

CHESS Health, Pace Target Opioid Addiction with Advanced Technology

Leave a comment



ROCHESTER, N.Y. (PRWEB)

CHESS Health, the leading provider of addiction management technology, and PACE, a Delaware-based operator of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, are working together to offer all aspects of the CHESS platform to the PACE patient population.

PACE has been using the CHESS eRecovery solution since August of this year and quickly measured a 20% increase in treatment adherence among patients active with the Connections app. When surveyed, PACE’s patients gave the CHESS platform a 90% or better approval rating across multiple measures and 97% of all patients recommended PACE keep the Connections app as part of its treatment program.

In addition to eRecovery, PACE recently began offering eTherapy in its intensive outpatient (IOP) program; eTherapy is the CHESS evidence-based digital tool for teaching key recovery skills using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). PACE will also implement the CHESS eIntervention solution to coordinate care with other providers in the community, including MAT providers, as well as to engage prospective patients and their families.

“When I started my counseling work in 1986, if you told me that technology delivered over a phone could really help with addiction, I’d think you were crazy,” says Bruce Johnson, executive director of PACE. “The Connections app is so valuable for removing barriers to asking for help, and gets people plugged into a community faster. The entire CHESS platform is transforming how we treat patients and coordinate with the community.”

“Addiction management technology will help strengthen and extend the scope of the great work that PACE is already doing for its patients,” says Hans Morefield, chief executive officer of CHESS. “We are especially proud of the feedback from their patients – our mission every day is to improve the lives of individuals struggling with the disease of addiction.”

About CHESS Health

CHESS Health is the developer of the leading, evidence-based technology platform for the addiction management life cycle. The platform facilitates digital handoffs for getting more patients into treatment (eIntervention); improves outcomes through digital CBT (eTherapy) and reduces relapse and supports long term recovery (eRecovery). For providers, the CHESS platform grows patient volume through more successful referrals, improves treatment delivery, and measure better outcomes, including reduced relapse. Health plans and governments also benefit from more individuals in treatment and better outcomes; with the CHESS platform, they also gain analytic insights into provider performance. CHESS Health has received recognition from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP), the Journal of Substance Abuse and the Surgeon General.

NIRA Skin Now Offering Equity Crowdfunding Through StartEngine

Leave a comment


News Image

“We’re thrilled to start 2020 with massive growth from our initial launch of September 2019 and offer the general public the opportunity to invest at such an early stage in our growth through our StartEngine campaign,” says President & Founder David Bean.


PEABODY, Mass. (PRWEB)

NIRA Skin (http://www.NIRAskin.com), a new at-home skincare laser with 12 patents and FDA-clearance, is now offering the general public an opportunity to invest in their technology through crowdfunding at StartEngine. In order to scale marketing, research and development, operations, and production to meet demand to grow the company, Dermal Photonics Corp. (maker of NIRA Skin) is looking to raise $1.07M. The Dermal Photonics campaign with StartEngine launches today (https://www.startengine.com/nira-skin) with the goal of raising $1.07M with the opportunity start investing as little as $250 to buy shares at $1.06 per share.

The NIRA Skincare Laser noticeably reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes with only 2 minutes of daily usage, all in the comfort of your own home. NIRA Skin’s system is the first of its kind, delivering dramatic and lasting improvements by stimulating natural collagen production to renew skin without causing pain or redness. The NIRA Skincare Laser is FDA-cleared with proven safety and efficacy based on clinical studies that were reviewed and cleared by the US government.

The NIRA Skincare Laser, which uses cutting-edge semiconductor technology, is the most advanced at-home skincare laser on the market. NIRA is safe, affordable, and easy-to-use without any pain or redness. The technology works by reversing the loss of collagen using a non-fractional and non-linear laser fluence to gently heat the dermis above the point of heat-shock protein (HSP) formation, and just below the pain threshold. This provides comparable collagen production as compared to professional fractional lasers used by dermatologist, plus NIRA avoids the pain and erythema.

“We’re thrilled to start 2020 with massive growth from our initial launch of September 2019 and offer the general public the opportunity to invest at such an early stage in our growth through our StartEngine campaign,” says President & Founder David Bean. Bean is a seasoned entrepreneur who developed successful laser technologies for professional medical, surgical, military, and telecom systems. “The $100B skincare market is ripe for disruption and with strong indicators from our clinical study, we are in a great position to become a market leader. We’re excited to expand our mission to bring professional dermatology at home to everyone not only in the US but across the Globe.”

The device is available for sale at http://www.NIRAskin.com for $399 or bundled with NIRA’S Advanced Hyaluronic Acid Serum for $425. Free shipping and a 90-day, money back guarantee is included.

The StartEngine campaign launches today at https://www.startengine.com/nira-skin and backers will have the option to invest for as little as $246.56.
