New Podcast Sponsored by Asymmetrex Increases Awareness to the Need for Stem Cell Dose in Stem Cell Treatments

Leave a comment


Asymmetrex Sponsors Podcast on “Counting Stem Cells for a New Era of Medicine”

Dose is essential for stem cell medicine as well.


BOSTON (PRWEB)

In October, Massachusetts stem cell biotechnology company Asymmetrex launched a new podcast to provide information to patients about a poorly disclosed deficiency in stem cell treatments. Throughout stem cell medical practice, stem cell treatments are given without knowing the dose of the treating stem cells. This problem affects all patients receiving stem cell treatments, including patients receiving approved treatments in routine clinical practice, patients volunteering for experimental treatments in FDA-authorized clinical trials, and patients obtaining unapproved treatments in private stem cell clinics.

The costs and dangers of unknown stem cell dose in treatments are significant. Stem cell clinical trials cannot be interpreted without knowing the treatment dose, leading to huge wastes of both federal and private clinical research dollars. In the case of manufactured stem cells, many treatments may contain very few or no stem cells at all. It is impossible for doctors to improve treatments without knowing the stem cell dose. Stem cell donors for approved treatments like blood stem cell transplantation are scarce. Knowing the stem cell dose would allow doctors to know when a treatment sample has enough stem cells to treat more than one patient; or when it does not have enough to treat even a single patient. In the second case, not knowing the stem cell dose can result in the death of children treated for leukemia when unknowingly they receive an umbilical cord blood transplant with too few blood stem cells to save them.

Earlier this year, the FDA recognized the pressing need for stem cell dose in stem cell medicine. The agency’s Standards Coordinating Body for Regenerative Medicine (SCB) listed stem cell dose determination as a priority for needed standards for stem cell medicine. Dose is a fundamental principle for the discovery, development, and administration of quality medicines. Asymmetrex Director James L. Sherley, M.D., Ph.D., who is featured in the new podcast, says that, “Dose is essential for stem cell medicine as well. The new podcast has the goal of informing the end users of stem cell treatments: the patients, their doctors, their families, and their advocates, including the FDA. When the people most impacted by these treatments understand that knowing the dose of stem cells is just as important as knowing the dose of their other medicines, they will be empowered to demand this essential certification of the integrity of their stem cell treatments.”

The first episode of the podcast, “Counting Stem Cells For A New Era Of Medicine,” aired online on October 17. The third episode of the biweekly, 6-episode series is scheduled for airing November 12. Each episode features an interview of Asymmetrex Director Sherley by podcast producer Jordan Rich. Mr. Rich guides Dr. Sherley through a discussion of questions that reveal the current challenges that Asymmetrex is addressing to achieve full adoption of stem cell dose as a routine practice in stem cell medicine. The series also highlights other significant applications for stem cell counting in drug development and environmental health science. In conjunction with this educational effort, the company is also sponsoring a study on its website to evaluate the current state of public, academic, and industry knowledge of coming changes in stem cell medicine related to the adoption of stem cell dose.

Genomenon Accelerates Rare and Genetic Disease Research with Mastermind v2.0

Leave a comment


Mastermind Genomic Search Engine, version 2.0

“This new functionality will be invaluable in our ongoing work to diagnose and treat babies with rare diseases.” Shareef Nahas, Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine.


ANN ARBOR, Mich. (PRWEB)

Genomenon® announced the release of Mastermind® version 2.0 today. The Genomic Search Engine now includes the ability to search the entirety of the genomic literature by phenotypes (symptoms). This new functionality will further accelerate diagnosis of patients with genetic and rare diseases.

Patients, particularly those with rare diseases, don’t always have a name for their condition. This makes it very difficult to diagnose and treat their disease. The ability to search the genetic literature by symptoms (following the Human Phenotype Ontology, or HPO) helps clinicians narrow their diagnosis to the appropriate disease and treatment.

Genomenon’s Mastermind Genomic Search Engine is the world’s largest and most complete source of genomic evidence. Doctors and researchers use Mastermind to find the scientific evidence relevant to their patients’ DNA profile for diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations. The new release of Mastermind includes a more streamlined search function to help doctors more quickly scour through the millions of research articles to find cases that match their patients’ genomic profile and symptoms.

The ability to search by phenotype was the top feature requested by the children’s hospitals and genetic testing labs that use Mastermind for variant interpretation. A preview of the new version was well received at the American Society for Human Genetics annual meeting in October.

“We are world-renowned for the speed of our WGS (whole genome sequencing) interpretations, and using Mastermind has been a crucial step in accelerating our progress.” said Shareef Nahas, Senior Director of Clinical Operations for Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine. “This new functionality will be invaluable in our ongoing work to diagnose and treat babies with rare diseases.”

“The ability to search by phenotype gives Mastermind users even more power to discover which genes in a patient’s DNA are most likely to be relevant based on empirical data in the medical literature.” Said Dr. Mark Kiel, co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Genomenon.

About Genomenon

Genomenon connects patient DNA with the billions of dollars spent on research to help doctors diagnose and cure cancer patients and babies with rare diseases. Our flagship product, the Mastermind Genomic Search Engine is used by hundreds of genetic labs worldwide to accelerate diagnosis, increase diagnostic yield and assure repeatability in reporting genetic testing results. We license our Mastermind Curated Genomic Datasets to pharmaceutical and bio-pharma companies to inform precision medicine development, deliver genomic biomarkers for clinical trial target selection, and support CDx regulatory submissions with empirical evidence.

Weight Loss Surgery Improves Health, Quality of Life while Highlighting Need for Better Understanding of Obesity, says West Medical

Leave a comment


Obesity remains a serious health and quality of life problem that is extremely hard to conquer without assistance.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

An October 2 article on Wicked Local Framingham reported on the story of a woman who underwent a successful weight loss surgery nearly 20 years ago; she lost over 100 pounds and has remained petite ever since. Nevertheless, she says she still bears traces of the years of schoolyard bullying and adult fat-shaming she endured prior to her procedure. Southern California healthcare group West Medical says that obesity is a complicated issue many people who do not struggle with weight problems may have difficulty understanding. The healthcare clinic adds that everyone deserves to both be treated with respect and to feel confident in their own body, no matter their size. At the same time, obesity remains a serious health and quality of life problem that is extremely hard to conquer without assistance. Fortunately, for those looking to slim down significantly, weight loss surgery can help patients defeat obesity once and for all.

Most people – particularly those who engage in fat-shaming – misunderstand how intractable severe obesity is as a condition, says West Medical. The reason is that nature is committed to keeping people at their current weight – whatever that is. The clinic notes people with weight issues tend to produce more of certain hormones that give them larger appetites than thinner people. The weight loss center says that, when people begin to eat less as they attempt to lose weight, the body reacts as if a food shortage may be imminent and produces even more of the hormone; it only gets worse for as long as the patient is able to continue losing weight.

Procedures like a gastric sleeve, says the clinic, reliably solve the weight loss conundrum as they remove the majority of the stomach. A smaller stomach, says the clinic, makes overeating uncomfortable, reducing the appetite. It also appears that permanently removing 75%-85% of the stomach restricts the production of hunger hormones, so the urges that make patients want to overeat in the first place are greatly reduced. Defeating obesity with a sleeve surgery, says West Medical, is far less difficult.

The Southern California clinic comments that people who are not regarded as severely obese may not qualify for weight loss surgeries, but there are an increasing number of powerful nonsurgical options. West Medical now offers a leading-edge procedure known medically as the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). Also called an accordion procedure, an ESG sews accordion-like folds into the stomach, which result in a smaller capacity and a smaller appetite, West Medical says. It adds that also offers all of the most popular gastric balloon procedures. As the name implies, these procedures reduce the stomach’s capacity for approximately six months by placing a balloon-like sphere in the stomach, significantly reducing the appetite and giving weight loss efforts a significant jumpstart.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The National Lung Cancer Roundtable (NLCRT) has expanded its portal of resources to help Americans fight lung cancer. Efrén J. Flores, Staff Radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, teamed with the American College of Radiology (ACR) and YourUpdateTV to discuss the initiative during National Lung Cancer Awareness month.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Bpb0qu7V5mA

This year more than 220,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer. More than 140,000 will die of the disease — more than will die from breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. Please know that:


  • Anyone can get lung cancer. 65% of people newly diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked or are former smokers. 20% have no history of tobacco use at all.

  • If you smoke, talk to your doctor to get support to stop smoking. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer.

  • Lung cancer was once considered a terminal diagnosis, but today new treatments are improving survival for many patients.

  • If you are a current or former smoker – ages 55-to-80 – talk to your health care provider about getting an annual lung cancer screening exam. This low-dose C-T or “CAT” scan is the only test proven to significantly reduce lung cancer deaths and is covered by Medicare and private insurance for those who qualify.

For more information, visit the National Lung Cancer Roundtable website at NLCRT.org.

Focal Healthcare’s Fusion Bx 2.0 Targeted Prostate Biopsy Solution Receives CE Mark

Leave a comment


Fusion Bx Prostate Fusion Biopsy

Fusion Bx 2.0

Now urologists throughout the EU will have access to our Fusion Bx – providing them with a targeted biopsy system that is accurate, and simple to learn and use.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

Focal Healthcare, an innovator of image-guided prostate cancer technology, announced it has received CE Mark for its Fusion Bx 2.0 prostate fusion biopsy solution. By combining information from multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) with a semi-robotic arm and user-friendly interface, the Fusion Bx 2.0 will give urologists across Europe the ability to perform targeted transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsies.

Earlier this year, both the European Association of Urology (EAU) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) released updated guidelines that recommend the use of mpMRI prior to biopsy, followed by a targeted biopsy when the MRI is positive. This diagnostic pathway reduces the number of biopsies while increasing the likelihood of finding significant cancers. These recommendations highlight the important role played by MRI/Ultrasound fusion technology and the need for an accurate and accessible device such as the Fusion Bx 2.0.

“We are excited to receive the CE Mark as it greatly expands the market for our Fusion Bx,” said Chicuong La, CEO of Focal Healthcare. “The results from last year’s PRECISION trial has changed the way in which prostate cancer is being diagnosed in Europe. Now urologists throughout the EU will have access to our Fusion Bx – providing them with a targeted biopsy system that is accurate, and simple to learn and use. This will make it easier for clinics and hospitals of all sizes to adopt the new guidelines.”

Focal Healthcare’s Fusion Bx 2.0 provides urologists with the ability to perform both transrectal and transperineal biopsies using a simple and intuitive interface. Fusion Bx 2.0 features:


  • A semi-robotic arm that keeps the probe steady to ensure consistent pressure on the prostate, limiting movement and deformation, thereby leading to increased accuracy

  • A 3D model that allows the urologist to visualize the prostate and MRI targets in real-time to guide the biopsy needle to the regions of interest

  • Automatic motion compensation which adjusts for patient movement to maintain image registration, allowing procedures to continue uninterrupted

  • A step-by-step guided workflow combined with semi-automatic segmentation that enables urologists to perform procedures in less time and with minimal training

Fusion Bx 2.0 will be available to European physicians through distribution. Fusion Bx 2.0 is also cleared for sale in Canada, USA and Taiwan. For more information, contact Focal Healthcare at sales@focalhealthcare.com.

About Focal Healthcare Inc.

Focal Healthcare is a Canadian-based medical device company committed to improving the lives of prostate cancer patients and their families through technical innovation. By developing imaging tools that emphasize accuracy, efficiency and accessibility, Focal Healthcare strives to advance prostate cancer diagnosis and management in clinics and hospitals of all sizes.

Sedation Dentistry of Charleston Provides Virtually Painless Dentistry to Charleston, SC with IV Sedation

Dr. Robert Carimi Provides Virtually Painless Dentistry through IV Sedation in Charleston, SC

IV sedation offers complete relaxation, helping patients feel as though they slept through the entire visit.


CHARLESTON, S.C. (PRWEB)

Dr. Robert Carimi of Sedation Dentistry of Charleston helps ease patient dental anxiety and achieve nearly painless dentistry through IV sedation. Because administration requires additional training, many general dentists do not become certified to offer sedation dentistry. However, Dr. Carimi has undergone extensive hospital training to receive the certification needed to administer IV sedation at his Charleston, SC practice. Additionally, he and his team regularly attend continuing education courses to stay at the leading edge of sedation dentistry.

Dental anxiety causes millions of Americans to avoid visits to the dentist, often for years at a time. Dental anxiety can arise from a variety of concerns, including worries of pain or a negative previous dental experience. IV sedation provides significant relief for patients who experience dental anxiety.

Delivered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation works quickly. It leaves patients with little to no memory of the procedure, allowing patients to experience virtually painless dentistry. Because it is administered intravenously, Dr. Carimi can administer other medication through the IV as well when needed. IV sedation offers complete relaxation, helping patients feel as though they slept through the entire visit. After IV sedation, patients will require a ride home to ensure their complete safety.

Dr. Carimi works carefully with every patient to confirm that they are suitable for IV sedation before moving forward. If IV sedation is not the best option, he offers additional sedation dentistry options such as oral sedation and nitrous oxide.

Those looking to experience painless dentistry in Charleston, SC or surrounding areas are welcome to contact Sedation Dentistry of Charleston. To schedule an IV sedation appointment with Dr. Carimi, visit http://www.sedationdentistrycharleston.com or call the office at 843-471-1677.
