The new training facility is a wonderful and much-needed addition.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (PRWEB)
January 06, 2020

GameAbove, a group of dedicated Eastern Michigan University alumni with various academic and professional backgrounds, continues to support all aspects of the institution with a recent $1 million contribution to the new Student-Athlete Performance Center.

The contribution was made in honor of the late Brian Clouse, a standout offensive lineman for the EMU football team in the 1980s and longtime member of the greater Ypslianti community who passed away in June 2019. The main entrance of the new athletic center is called the Clouse Family Atrium, a 1,288-square-foot welcome room that displays the championship success of Eastern Michigan athletics throughout its history, including the 1987 conference championship season and California Bowl win during Brian’s final year of college football. The new Center also includes the Brian Clouse Players’ Lounge, a space that allows football student-athletes to study, and bond with teammates.

“GameAbove is proud to join the many supporters who have provided funding and continue to contribute to the outstanding athletic program at Eastern Michigan. The new training facility is a wonderful and much-needed addition,” said Denis Wolcott, spokesperson for GameAbove. “We’re especially pleased to recognize Brian, who was a very giving, unselfish and gentle individual as well as an outstanding college athlete.”

“Brian was a loving and caring father, husband, son and brother who touched family and friends in many positive ways. His is a legacy of compassion, support and giving back to his community. We know this honor will serve his memory and legacy for future generations,” said Brian’s wife, Jill.

The Student-Athlete Performance Center, which debuted last August, is a 63,000-square-foot, two-story structure that houses the sports medicine, performance and equipment operations areas. Additionally, the facility has locker rooms, coaches’ offices, and meeting spaces for the football team, while also including a new video board inside Rynearson Stadium.

“Eastern Michigan University wants to thank GameAbove and the many other private donors who have contributed to this very advanced and well-designed student-athlete training facility,” said EMU Vice President/Director of Athletics Scott Wetherbee. “Honoring Brian with this gift leaves a lasting highlight to an outstanding college football player and a reminder to future athletes about the importance of character and giving back to your community.”

Over the past few months, GameAbove has donated more than $12.5 million to academic, athletic and supportive programs at Eastern Michigan University. Previously announced gifts of $3.5 million to EMU include the “GameAbove, Faculty First” initiative to support faculty development and the “Student Matters Most” grant to assist the academic and program needs of current and future students. The student initiatve focuses on providing financial resources for learning clubs, intramural sports, student government and student organization priorities, as well as solutions for student homelessness and housing insecurity, among other near-term needs.

“The Fertility Doctors Guide to Overcoming Infertility” Discovering your Reproductive Potential and Maximizing Your Odds of Having a Baby”

Children, are also the hope of every couple or individual seeking to reproduce and also the prayers from those affected with infertility.

ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB)
January 06, 2020

The World Health Organization has declared infertility a global public health issue; according to WHO, over 10% of women in a stable relationship of five years or longer, worldwide, have tried unsuccessfully to conceive a baby and carry it to term.1 “Infertility is a global problem, affecting both men and women of all races, countries, and sexual orientations. It is also, however, intensely personal to those who are struggling with it,” says Dr. Mark P. Trolice, M.D., FACOG, FACS, FACE, Director of Fertility CARE: The IVF Center, and Professor, University of Central Florida College of Medicine. “Infertility is devastating, and the process of diagnosis and treatment can be both frustrating and extremely confusing.”

In addition to being a nationally recognized expert in his field, Dr. Trolice is a former infertility patient with five adopted children. Based on his professional and personal experience, he has created a guidebook to help infertility patients and their families understand their options and navigate the complexities of their particular situation. Written in clear and understandable language for the layperson, The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility: Discovering Your Reproductive Potential and Maximizing Your Odds of Having a Baby will be published January 7th 2020 by Harvard Common Press/Quarto.

In mapping out an infertility patient’s journey, The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility explains the most optimal time of life to conceive, the right time to see a fertility specialist, evidence-based diagnostic tests and treatment, and alternative family building: egg/sperm donors, surrogacy, and adoption. Dr. Trolice also deals candidly with the potential conflict of physicians’ interests due to high priced technologic treatments and recommends patients be their own advocates while proceeding with caution.

A major factor in declining fertility rates, both in the U.S. and worldwide, is the fact that more women are delaying having children compared with those women from a generation or two ago. Peak fertility occurs before age 30, and then begins to decline: by half at age 35, and half again at 40. This does not, however, mean that childbearing by older women is out of the question. In The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility, Dr. Trolice relates the experience of one of his patients who became, at 46, the oldest woman in the U.S. (at the time) to deliver a baby using her own eggs through IVF.

“Children,” says Dr. Trolice, “are also the hope of every couple or individual seeking to reproduce and also the prayers from those affected with infertility. Both as a doctor and as one who has personally struggled with infertility, I understand that while treatment encourages that hope, it causes anxiety and uncertainty as well. That is why I have made it my mission in The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility—as well as in my practice and my entire professional life—to optimize the experience and maximize the success of every patient challenged to build a family.”

“The Fertility Doctors Guide to Overcoming Infertility” Discovering your Reproductive Potential and Maximizing Your Odds of Having a Baby” is a non-fiction infertility book written by Mark P. Trolice, MD, FACOG, FACS, FACE; Director, Fertility CARE: The IVF Center Professor, UCF College of Medicine. This book is to be used as a companion guide through every step of an individual’s infertility journey—a guide that explains the most optimal time to conceive, advises the right time for an evaluation by a fertility specialist, recommends evidence-based diagnostic testing and treatment including IVF, and discusses alternative family building such as egg/sperm donation, surrogacy, and adoption. Buy the book on Amazon or visit Dr. Trolice via his professional website http://drmarktrolice.com

About Dr. Mark P. Trolice

Mark P. Trolice, M.D., FACOG, FACS, FACE, is the Director of Fertility CARE: The IVF Center. He also serves as Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology (OB/GYN) at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine in Orlando and as Medical Director of the Egg Donor Program at Cryos International, the world’s largest sperm donor bank. Dr. Trolice is double Board-certified in OB/GYN and reproductive endocrinology/infertility (REI), and he is a Fellow of the American Colleges of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FACOG), Surgeons (FACS), and Endocrinology (FACE). Dr. Trolice is a member of The RESOLVE Physicians Council and is a recipient of the Advocacy Leadership Award by The National PCOS Association. Dr. Trolice is also an accomplished author with his 2019 book release of “The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility: Discovering Your Reproductive Potential and Maximizing Your Odds of Having a Baby”.

Myant is launching a line of apparel under the brand Skiin that features garments which help people stay connected to what matters most: their own health and the wellbeing of the loved ones in their lives.

TORONTO (PRWEB)
January 06, 2020

Myant Inc., the pioneers in Textile Computing™, will be headed to CES 2020 (January 7-10, 2020 in Las Vegas) to bring to life its vision of a world where textile-based interfaces knitted into everyday objects form a better connection between you and your body, your community, the AI-powered digital sphere, and the physical IoT-enabled environment. The experience at Myant’s booth will challenge visitors to rethink the value that everyday textile objects can deliver across the 24 hours of daily life (at Home, at Work and at Play), transforming the way that health, performance, and care are measured and delivered.

Humans have a fundamental need to feel connected, to their own bodies and to each other, in order to live healthy, meaningful and productive lives. Despite the incredible reach that our modern digital modes of connection have enabled, we are left feeling more disconnected than ever due to the superficial quality that these have. Consider how we can start a video chat with an elderly loved one on the other side of the world, but we cannot tell how she is feeling unless she picks up the call. We can measure and peer into the inner workings of the heart via a Holter monitor, but still have to wait weeks or even months before a healthcare provider can access and interpret that data to provide care. These types of problems are at the core of Myant’s mission to transform human connectedness, combining the richness, intimacy, and immediacy of analog connections with the vast reach enabled by digital connections and the predictive power of artificial intelligence. While digital connectivity and artificial intelligence exist, what is missing to enable this vision is a continuous, ambient interface to the human body.

Myant has been working over the past decade to create the technology, expertise, and infrastructure to realize this new type of connectivity–and now we are ready to share it with the world. At Myant’s booth at CES 2020, you will be immersed into a world connected by textile and powered by the Myant Platform. Textiles hold many advantages that make it ideal for interfacing with the human body: they are pervasive in our everyday lives, provide a near continuous and ambient interaction point with the body, and are used by all members of society regardless of age or ability.

By developing textiles that can sense and react to the human body, and connecting these textiles to an AI-enabled digital platform, Myant is bringing the world to the precipice of a new era of human connectedness, one where technology for connectivity morphs around the human experience, where health, wellness, and performance are continuously and ambiently managed, a life where deep empathy and caring are possible even across vast distances. Textile Computing™, the connection of textiles with the AI-enabled digital sphere, represents a leap forward for the idea of the quantified self, enabling the creation of a personal digital twin that is continuously updated via pervasive textile interfaces and optimized by artificial intelligence, freeing you to refocus on the truly human aspects of the daily experience: caring for the ones you love and becoming the best version of yourself. This concept of a connected future which leverages technology to reprioritize the human being in modern life is representative of the vision endorsed by many leading futurists including the Government of Japan and their initiative known as Society 5.0.

As a concrete manifestation of this idea, Myant is launching a line of apparel under the brand Skiin that features garments which help people stay connected to what matters most: their own health and the wellbeing of the loved ones in their lives. The Skiin connected apparel line features everyday clothing (like underwear, bras, undershirts, polo shirts, baby onesies and more) that are a natural part of daily life yet provide people with an unprecedented level of closeness and connection to their own bodies and to those that they care for. Conceived of as a digitally connected epilayer on top of one’s biological skin, the Skiin apparel line is a window into what’s possible when textiles can do more. In recognition of the transformative nature of this technology, Skiin was honored as a winner in the Health & Wellness category of the CES 2020 Innovation Awards.

Visitors to the Myant booth at CES 2020 will be able to see how Skiin and textile computing technology in general are practically applied to change the way society manages health and optimizes performance across the 24 hours of the daily human experience and across different industries like construction and mining, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, fitness, home and office furnishings, and more. We will be making a series of announcements over the course of the next week to highlight how our demonstrations at CES 2020 will bring these applications to life. Look out for announcements about the following topics:

• 
  Distributing the burden of heart health management through connected textiles, providing those at risk of CVD with access to electrocardiography from a single lead to 12 leads
• Connected textiles in the office to bridge the gap between the human operating system and the physical workplace to optimize productivity, performance, and workforce health & wellness
• A new level of AR/VR immersion through textile-based brain-computer interfaces and full-body interfaces
• Connected textiles to transform fitness focusing on cycling, enabling new modes of textile-based performance optimization
• Myant to enable a new era of remote monitoring, digital therapy, rehabilitation and connected care using textiles that sense and react
• Myant and Helly Hansen to unveil a connected work shoe, highlighting new methods to enhance worker wellbeing and prevent workplace accidents
• Myant and Helly Hansen to unveil a line of active thermal work apparel that dynamically regulates the body’s temperature, helping those working in cold climates optimize their comfort and performance
• Launch of the Digital Textile Exchange (DTX) to democratize access to manufacturing capacity for textiles

Follow Myant on social media (via LinkedIn and Twitter) to hear about the latest announcements, or better yet visit us at CES 2020 (Sands Expo, Halls A-D, Health & Wellness section, Booth #43925) to discover more about a world connected by textile.
