Drs. John Wewel, Jerome Wees and Benjamin Anderson Relieve Dental Anxiety in Omaha, NE

Dr. Wewel made me feel at ease as soon as he came in!

OMAHA, Neb. (PRWEB)
November 26, 2019

Well-respected oral surgeons, Drs. Jerome Wees, John Wewel and Benjamin Anderson of Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, provide compassionate care and sedation dentistry to relieve dental anxiety in Omaha, NE. By overcoming anxiety about dental appointments, patients are finally getting the oral care they need to help them live healthier lives.

Many patients experience high anxiety about visiting oral surgeons and other dental professionals. However, sedation dentistry options allow patients to relax during their treatments, enabling them to resolve issues from gum disease to tooth decay. Drs. Wees, Wewel, and Anderson offer local anesthetic, oral sedation, nitrous oxide, IV sedation and general anesthesia.

Local anesthetics are injected directly at the treatment site to numb the area. Oral sedation is taken by mouth prior to the appointment and presents an overall calming effect. Nitrous oxide is inhaled during the procedure and provides immediate relaxation, but it does not linger after the procedure. IV sedation is administered intravenously and is the most customizable form of conscious sedation dentistry available. General anesthesia, a medically induced unconsciousness, is typically only available in hospital settings. However, Drs. Wees, Wewel, and Anderson have an advanced facility and the training to administer general anesthesia in-office. Plus, they provide EXPAREL, an opioid-free pain management system that lasts long after the procedure and keeps patients virtually pain free.

Patients who try sedation dentistry find that it provides the relaxation and pain-control they need to experience a pleasant appointment with the oral surgeons at Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants. As Marissa, a patient of Dr. Wewel’s, reported, “I was very fearful of getting a tooth pulled or any big dental treatment. Dr. Wewel made me feel at ease as soon as he came in!” Although she came to the office for a tooth extraction, Marissa found the atmosphere welcoming and the sedation dentistry so effective that she agreed to get all the treatments she needed. These included wisdom tooth extractions and dental implant placement.

Individuals in the Omaha, NE area who are interested in learning more about painless, comfortable treatment through sedation dentistry are invited to contact Drs. Wees, Wewel, and Anderson for a consultation. Appointments with these highly experienced oral surgeons can be made by calling 402-397-7777.

Oral Surgeon, Dr. Aaron Quitmeyer, Offers Dental Implants in Harrisonburg, VA

Dental implants are a great way to restore a missing tooth… It’s a simple procedure that provides a long-lasting solution to replace your missing tooth.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (PRWEB)
November 26, 2019

Dr. Aaron Quitmeyer of Shenandoah Oral and Facial Surgery welcomes patients seeking a permanent tooth replacement solution in Harrisonburg, VA to experience the life changing benefits of dental implants. Dental implants can be used to replace anywhere from one tooth to a full mouth of missing teeth. As a board-certified oral surgeon, Dr. Quitmeyer specializes in the surgical placement of dental implants with highly successful results.

Dental implants are biocompatible titanium posts that are inserted into the jawbone to mimic the function of a natural tooth root. Once fused with the bone, implants provide long-term stability within the mouth. Dr. Quitmeyer places implants in the most ideal location with the help of X-Guide™ technology. The X-Guide creates implant guides that direct the precise location, angle and depth of surgery to ensure the most optimal, long-lasting results. Once placed, a natural-looking dental crown is securely attached to the implant. Dental implant tooth replacement allows patients to eat, speak and smile with confidence again and can last for many years with proper care.

As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Quitmeyer’s credentials are one of the highest in the dental industry. He has received extensive education and surgical training in disparities of the mouth, head, and neck, as well as specialty dental implant training. Combining these years of experience and education, Dr. Quitmeyer routinely performs implant surgery at his practice. He specializes in placing dental implants in highly challenging areas of the mouth, such a front tooth replacement and upper molar replacement. These areas require additional care and treatment that, as a board-certified oral surgeon, Dr. Quitmeyer is adept at providing.

“Dental implants are a great way to restore a missing tooth. They look and function naturally and they don’t involve the damage of adjacent teeth,” says Dr. Quitmeyer. “It’s a simple procedure that provides a long-lasting solution to replace your missing tooth.”

Shenandoah Oral and Facial Surgery is fully equipped with the latest technology, such as cone beam CT scanners, L-PRF™ to promote cell growth and Osstell ISQ for implant stability. Dr. Quitmeyer utilizes digital impression scanners and X-Nav dynamic surgical guidance systems to increase the accuracy of implant placement, customize gingival formers and decrease procedure invasiveness. Patients of Shenandoah Oral and Facial Surgery can benefit from sedation dentistry services to reduce dental anxiety and make their tooth replacement procedure virtually pain-free.

Those interested in permanent tooth replacement with dental implants or who want to learn more about Dr. Quitmeyer can contact Shenandoah Oral and Facial Surgery by calling 540-433-1751 or visiting the website at http://www.shenandoahofs.com.

SGF’s in-house board certified reproductive urologists, Paul Shin, M.D., and Cori Tanrikut, M.D., both named Washingtonian Top Docs in Urology, 2019

Without testing the male partner up front, many patients have later realized it was a male factor all along and could have saved themselves precious time, money, and effort had they known.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB)
November 26, 2019

In approximately 40 to 50 percent of infertility cases, a male factor is present and is either causing the couple’s inability to conceive, or contributing to the cause.

SGF’s Center for Male Fertility offers a range of male services including basic evaluation and testing to state-of-the-art microsurgical techniques including varicocele repair, vasectomy reversal, and vasectomy, as well as percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) and testicular sperm extraction (TESE) for in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Led by Shady Grove Fertility’s in-house board certified reproductive urologists, Paul Shin, M.D., and Cori Tanrikut, M.D., SGF’s Center for Male Fertility was designed to provide integrated care that’s unique to SGF and offers comprehensive male infertility services to ensure continuity of care and communication for both partners before, during, and after treatment.

“While male factor infertility is often very treatable, many couples are still surprised to learn that infertility can arise from problems with either partner, male or female. Many think of infertility as a woman’s problem because she is the one to ultimately carry the baby. That’s far from the truth,” says Dr. Shin.

As a new resource for information-seekers, SGF produced a “Frequently Asked Questions” video with Dr. Shin, designed to set the record straight about male infertility, including the importance of early male testing.

“Our research tells us that only 44 percent of couples complete fertility testing at the same time. That’s not ideal. Without testing the male partner up front, many patients have later realized it was a male factor all along and could have saved themselves precious time, money, and effort had they known,” reminds Shin.

“A simple semen analysis can help uncover if there’s an issue with the sperm that we need to consider,” added Tanrikut. “SGF performs more than 20,000 semen analyses and sperm washings every year, so patients can have peace of mind in the reliability of our testing. Further, our experienced andrologists review each semen sample for higher reliability, unlike many other labs that rely on computer-assisted semen analyses (CASA). We find CASA to be less accurate and objective than the human eye; a manual semen analysis allows for more accurate diagnosis,” adds Tanrikut.

“It’s important for men who are trying to conceive to take inventory of how long they’ve been having unprotected intercourse with their partner if she hasn’t become pregnant. If it’s been 1 year and she’s under 35, or 6 months and she’s 35-39, or 3 months if she’s 40 or older, it’s time to see a fertility specialist. Also, if there are any existing conditions that could be affecting their ability to conceive—low testosterone, erectile dysfunction (ED), problems ejaculating—it’s time to see a specialist,” advises Tanrikut.

Patients outside of the practice may be referred directly to Dr. Shin or Dr. Tanrikut for diagnostic testing, evaluation, and/or treatment for male infertility or SGF’s no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy services. To schedule a new patient consult, contact the SGF New Patient Center at 1-888-761-1967 or complete a brief online form.

Xtalks Life Science Webinars

We estimate that 95 percent of clinical research study teams are not using IRT effectively, resulting in unoptimized clinical supply levels at sites.

TORONTO (PRWEB)
November 26, 2019

Oncology and other complex studies require careful management of clinical supply. Interactive response technology (IRT) systems assist in handling variations in supply availability and factors such as variable visit schedules, cohort escalation and expansion, and titrations with unknown doses.

We estimate that 95 percent of clinical research study teams are not using IRT effectively, resulting in unoptimized clinical supply levels at sites.

Join Natalie Nicholson, Director of Systems Analysis and Design at Signant Health in a live webinar on Tuesday, December 17, 2019 at 11am EST (4pm GMT/UK) to hear about how to leverage predictive supply algorithms in IRT to manage these complexities, which can optimize study drug shipment and dispensation to reduce waste, total shipments and reconciliation and return efforts.

This webinar will be suitable for professionals from pharmaceutical and CRO companies who are interested in IRT systems, randomization, clinical supply forecasting, planning, and inventory management. Attendees will have the opportunity to:

• 
  Discuss how the current state of IRT uses static inventory assumptions to manage supplies for sites and subjects
• Analyze the resulting intelligence gap between what is sent in shipments versus optimal supply efficiency
• Rethink the traditional IRT static approach and how enhanced algorithms can account for site and subject specifics when ordering supplies

Mytonomy Patient Experience Cloud(TM)

In addition to high engagement rates with the videos, we saw 95% patient satisfaction with the Mytonomy solution and improvement in our HCAHPS scores

BETHESDA, Md. (PRWEB)
November 26, 2019

Mytonomy, an enterprise SaaS company and film studio enabling healthcare’s digital front door, announced today the release of the Patient Experience Cloud™ for Cardiology and adoption results at Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive health network. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is our nation’s costliest chronic disease with the American Heart Association projecting that by 2035, nearly half of the U.S. population will have some form of cardiovascular disease and the associated costs will rise from 2016 levels of $555 billion to $1.1 trillion.

Hackensack Meridian Health, an innovator in delivering high quality patient experiences, selected Mytonomy’s Patient Experience Cloud™ and original cardiovascular video content to modernize the education experience for their coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patient’s pre-arrival, in-patient, and post-discharge journey and improve operational efficiency. With the goals of improving patient engagement and outcomes, Hackensack Meridian Health was impressed to see that 89% of their patients opted in to watch an average of 41 minutes of educational video content.

“Deploying Mytonomy for our CABG patients far exceeded our expectations,” said Elizabeth Paskas, Vice-President of Human Experience at Hackensack Meridian Health. “In addition to high engagement rates with the videos, we saw 95% patient satisfaction with the Mytonomy solution and improvement in our HCAHPS scores. Providing a ‘digital front door’ for our patients enabled them to start their engagement at home, before they arrived, and come in more informed, less anxious, and better prepared. Our clinical team got to be more focused in their care delivery roles.” Based on this success, Hackensack Meridian Health is also rolling out Mytonomy across oncology, bariatric & bowel surgery, orthopedics, and diabetes.

“Partnering with an innovative health system like Hackensack Meridian Health to achieve these results is a tremendous milestone and honor,” Anjali Kataria, Mytonomy CEO and Co-founder said. “Their clinical excellence and collaboration allowed us to implement the Mytonomy Patient Experience Cloud™ quickly, get meaningful results and demonstrate a compelling ROI in improving patient experience.”

Being diagnosed with heart disease creates stress and confusion. People look to multiple online sources, including Dr. Google, social media and their friends to learn what it all means. However, the insight and knowledge gained through these methods is often incomplete and inaccurate. Patients are looking for simple answers to complex questions in an easy to understand and consumer-friendly way, from a trusted source.

This is where Mytonomy’s microlearning video content and data-driven digital engagement platform excels in meeting patients where they are, at any time, on any device. Built with high-production value, modern, short videos that deliver the information patients need and desire, via an enterprise software platform integrated with their provider’s EMR or portal for a seamless patient experience, the Mytonomy Patient Experience Cloud™ for Cardiology delivers powerful results across the care continuum. No apps to download or learn how to use, Mytonomy is designed for today’s consumer.

Mytonomy also announces the general availability of the Patient Experience Cloud™ for Cardiology to all health systems and practices, which includes a comprehensive bundle of microlearning videos, combined with condition specific surveys and communication campaign capabilities. The solution includes 228 videos that span an extensive breadth of cardiology procedures and conditions, including:

• Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
• Cardiac Catherization
• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
• Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
• Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs)
• Electrophysiology areas such as Arrhythmia, A-Fib, Ablation and Cardiovascular Electronic Implantable Devices (CIED)
• Structural Heart Surgery including Mitraclip and Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery
• Cardiac diagnostics tests such as routine nuclear and regular stress tests

For more information: Elizabeth Paskas of Hackensack Meridian Health and Anjali Kataria of Mytonomy will be keynote speakers at NGPX: The Patient Experience Conference in Indian Wells, CA, on December 3rd at 4:20pm.
