Leave a comment


News Image

Participants will also learn how to select candidates for opioid trials, assess for risk, and initiate opioid therapy, but only after exploring nonopioid and nonpharmacological strategies


MONTCLAIR, N.J. (PRWEB)

PAINWeekEnd on October 12 at The Westin Richmond, 6631 W. Broad Street, in Virginia, will be an educational and exciting program providing busy clinicians and allied healthcare practitioners with 6.0 hours of relevant, practical instruction in the management of chronic pain.

At PAINWeekEnd Richmond, David Cosio, PhD, ABPP, will present Falling Down the Rabbit Hole: A Primer for Chronic Pain Management and Substance Abuse Disorders. As the economic, mental health, and medical consequences of prescribing opioid medications have mounted, the prevailing logic regarding the usefulness of prescribing opioids for chronic pain has shifted. Commenting on his course, Dr. Cosio said, “Given the high level of comorbidity between opioid use disorders and chronic pain, providers’ decisions about how to address treatment with patients who may have, or who have been diagnosed with, substance use disorders are often complex. In this session, we’ll be exploring how patient and provider education programs and communication interventions may improve outcomes in pain management. Participants will also learn how to select candidates for opioid trials, assess for risk, and initiate opioid therapy, but only after exploring nonopioid and nonpharmacological strategies.” Dr. Cosio will also present The Gentle Art of Saying No: How to Establish Appropriate Boundaries With Chronic Pain Patients.

Other course topics: Pain Management at Ground Zero; The Gang that Couldn’t Shoot Straight: Revisiting the CDC Guideline; Thug Drugs; and Migraine and More.

Commercially supported activities—addressing a range of product, disease state, and medical information topics—will also be presented.

Taste of Nova Scotia Maps Out Good Cheer, Lobster, and Chowder Trails for Fall 2019

Leave a comment

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (PRWEB)

Fall in Nova Scotia offers travelers leaf-peeping opportunities to rival those in New England, while also rewarding visitors with culinary exploration at seasonal festivals and along its signature Good Cheer Trail, Lobster Trail, and Chowder Trail.

Taste of Nova Scotia’s Trail programs feature new participating venues, hands-on experiences, and prize packages. Each culinary Trail details dozens of stops to taste, imbibe, and enjoy a multitude of Nova Scotia’s signature culinary experiences along the province’s 4,500 miles of coastline.

Nova Scotia has a rich culinary heritage along with an equally long legacy in cultivating locally produced wine and beer. The province produces a quarter of Canada’s seafood and boasts a billion-plus dollar fish and seafood export industry annually. Grapes have been grown since the early 1600s and today’s wineries receive international acclaim, while locally brewed beer dates back to the mid-18th century.

The Nova Scotia Harvest Wine Festival celebrates the province’s growing wine industry through October 31 with a calendar of events, including tastings, vineyard tours, wine-paired dinners, sommelier picnics, and more. A full list of events and locations can be found at https://nsharvestwinefestival.ca/

“In Nova Scotia we have the unique ability to tell our story through food and drink and through the people who contribute to our culinary heritage, from lobster fishers and farmers to vintners and brew masters,” said Emily Haynes, executive director, Taste of Nova Scotia.

Trail Passports

Each Trail has its own passport with a map, description of venues, and a card for visitors to collect stamps as they visit participating locations. Once a certain number of stamps are collected, passports can be sent digitally or by mail to enter to win prizes, from tee-shirts and culinary tours to fresh lobster shipped right to your door depending on the Trail. Visitors can get all three Trail passports at a participating Trail stop locations or can access the digital versions at http://www.novascotiaculinarytrails.com.

The three culinary trails are province wide and represent all seven regions of Nova Scotia, including Halifax, South Shore, Yarmouth and Acadian Shore, Bay of Fundy and Annapolis Valley, Northumberland Shore, Cape Breton Island and the Eastern Shore.

Good Cheer Trail

With 84 participating locations, the Good Cheer Trail is Canada’s first and only winery, brewery, cidery, and distillery trail. French settler and cartographer Samuel de Champlain established the Order of Good Cheer in 1606 in Port Royal near the Bay of Fundy. Today’s Good Cheer Trail celebrates the legacy of Champlain’s Order of Good Cheer, one of the first known gastronomic societies in North America.

Among the 16 wineries featured are distinctive locations such as the Avondale Sky Winery and Restaurant, where the tasting room is located in a church built in 1837, and Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards, Nova Scotia’s only certified biodynamic vineyard. Travelers can partake in tours and tastings at each featured winery, 11 of which also make Tidal Bay, the first wine appellation for Nova Scotia. A crisp, aromatic white wine, it displays the singular characteristics of the province’s cool climate and pairs perfectly with local seafood.

With 48 breweries and brew pubs on the Good Cheer Trail, visitors can sample award-winning IPAs, ales and lagers, along with a variety of truly “local” craft beers. The Oyster Stout at Sober Island Brewing in Eastern Passage is made with real oysters to infuse their stout with a true taste of the sea. At Boxing Rock in Shelburne the deliciously refreshing Sour Mash Cranberry Wheat Ale is made with Nova Scotia cranberries.

As with wine and beer production, the seven cideries and 10 distilleries are craft and small-batch producers, utilizing local ingredients, including locally grown apples, berries and other produce. Among the participants is Steinhart Distillery, who recently won the award for Best Classic Gin from Canada at the 2019 World Gin Awards in London, England, and Halifax’s first cidery, Chain Yard Urban Cidery.

Once 10 stamps have been collected, visitors can enter a drawing to win one of three grand prize Good Cheer tour experiences; at 15 stamps travelers can also earn a complimentary Good Cheer Trail tee-shirt (supplies are limited). For information on the Good Cheer Trail, visit http://www.goodcheertrail.com.

Lobster Trail

With 44 trail stops, including 40 restaurants, two seafood retailers and two lobster experiences on the map, the Lobster Trail offers lovers of this hearty crustacean a wide variety of classic and innovative dishes, from lobster poutine and lobster eggs benedict, to lobster tacos, fondue, and, of course, the traditional boiled lobster dinner.

Now in its second year, the Lobster Trail offers two experiences in quintessential Nova Scotia locations: Cape Breton Highlands National Park where visitors will learn about and enjoy a traditional lobster boil; and on the Peggy’s Cove Boat Tours & Lobster Dinner visitors will enjoy a savory lobster dinner during a two-hour boat tour.

Among the 40 restaurants featured this year are the Shore Club Lobster Suppers, celebrating 83 years of serving the original Nova Scotia Lobster Supper, and Halls Harbour Lobster Pound & Restaurant where visitors can witness the world’s highest tides on the Bay of Fundy while feasting on a number of delicacies, from lobster dinners and lobster rolls to lobster mac n’ cheese and lobster quesadillas.

Once visitors collect between three and 10 stamps, they will be eligible for three grand prize draws by submitting their passports via mail or digitally. For details, visit http://www.novascotialobstertrail.com.

Chowder Trail

Nova Scotia is home to Canada’s original Chowder Trail, first launched in 2011. Travelers can experience 59 seafood chowders across the province without tasting the same recipe twice. Each restaurant has its own methods and distinctive flavors – from smoked haddock and corn chowder to bacon and lobster chowder – that reflects each region of the province and family traditions.

Many visitors love to sample as many chowders as possible as they navigate their way around Nova Scotia. Among the highlights are Charlene’s famous seafood chowder at Charlene’s Bayside Restaurant & Café in Whycocomagh on Cape Breton Island; the fresh seafood chowder at Evan’s Fresh Seafoods & Restaurant on the Dartmouth waterfront at Alderney Landing; and, on the Eastern Shore, known for its beaches and surfing, visitors can enjoy made-to-order seafood chowder at the Rose & Rooster Café featuring local haddock, shrimp, scallops and lobster.

Cape Breton boasts 14 Chowder Trail participants, the highest concentration in the province. For more information, visit http://www.novascotiachowdertrail.com.

“Visitors will find cross over among the Trail stops, for example more than 30 Chowder Trail stops are also on the Lobster Trail and five are included on the Good Cheer Trail,” said Haynes. “Which just means more opportunities for visitors to sample their way across Nova Scotia…and more chances for them to collect stamps for a chance to win Trail prizes.”

Prevent Blindness Declares October as Contact Lens Safety Awareness Month to Help Educate Millions of Users on the Best Ways to Keep Eyes Healthy

Leave a comment


News Image

Prevent Blindness declares October as “Contact Lens Safety Awareness Month” to help educate consumers on the best ways to keep eyes healthy.

“Because contact lenses are medical devices, the first step for anyone interested in purchasing contact lenses should be making an appointment with an eyecare professional,” said Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness.


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

An estimated 45 million people in the United States wear contact lenses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Prevent Blindness, the nation’s oldest volunteer non-profit eye health organization, has declared October as Contact Lens Safety Awareness Month to educate the public on the best ways to care for their eyes through safe use and care of contact lenses.

The CDC also states that serious eye infections that can lead to blindness affect up to one out of every 500 contact lens users per year. Yet, between 40- 90 percent of contact lens wearers do not properly follow the care instructions for their contact lenses.

Many consumers may not be aware that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates contact lenses and certain contact lens care products as medical devices. Additionally, the FDA states that contact lenses are not over-the-counter (OTC) devices, and companies that sell them as such are misbranding the device and violating Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations by selling contact lenses without having a valid prescription.

According to a recent consumer survey from the American Academy of Optometry, 11 percent of consumers have worn decorative, non-corrective contact lenses. Of those, 53 percent purchased them illegally without a prescription.

“Because contact lenses are medical devices, the first step for anyone interested in purchasing contact lenses should be making an appointment with an eyecare professional,” said Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness. “If it’s determined that contact lenses are right for the patient, a prescription is required for purchase for all types of contact lenses, even the decorative ones.”

Any time a foreign object or material is placed in the eye, there is an increased risk of complications. All contact lens wearers should always follow an eye doctor’s instructions about care and cleaning of the lenses.

Prevent Blindness strongly recommends contact lens wearers contact an eye doctor if they experience the following:

  • Unexplained eye discomfort or pain

  • Redness of the eye

  • Watering eyes

  • Vision change

For more information on contact lens safety, please call (800) 331-2020 or visit http://www.preventblindness.org/wearing-contact-lenses.

About Prevent Blindness

Founded in 1908, Prevent Blindness is the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight. Focused on promoting a continuum of vision care, Prevent Blindness touches the lives of millions of people each year through public and professional education, advocacy, certified vision screening and training, community and patient service programs and research. These services are made possible through the generous support of the American public. Together with a network of affiliates, Prevent Blindness is committed to eliminating preventable blindness in America.

Over 20,000 Dental Implants Placed by DIA Dental Implant Center Doctors

Leave a comment


Drs. Dan Holtzclaw and Juan Gonzalez, Dental Implant Specialists at DIA Dental Implant Center in Austin, TX

The Dental Implant Specialists at DIA Dental Implant Center Place Over 20,000 Implants

With DIArch™ dental implant treatment, the board-certified specialists at DIA Dental Implant Center can deliver a permanent set of dental implant teeth in just one visit.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

The esteemed dental implant specialists at DIA Dental Implant Center in Austin, TX, have placed over 20,000 dental implants for a variety of procedures, including single tooth replacement, new “teeth-in-a-day” immediately functioning dental implants, and the highly technical zygomatic and pterygoid dental implants. Dental implants offer patients permanent tooth replacement solutions that look and function very similar to natural teeth. With experience and expertise that is unparalleled in the industry, the doctors at DIA Dental Implant Center have published over 70 articles related to dental implant treatment in peer reviewed dental journals and have provided over 200 lectures on the topic at major international dental implant meetings.

According to Dental Economics, only 10-15% of dentists in North America place dental implants, and of these, the average oral surgeon or periodontist typically places about 200 implants per year. With over 20,000 dental implants placed, the board-certified dental implant specialists at DIA Dental Implant Center have experience that far exceeds most other dentists when it comes to dental implant treatment. In fact, the dental implant specialists at DIA Dental Implant Center are regularly asked to provide lectures about dental implants to other dentists at conferences all over the world. In 2019 alone, DIA Dental Implant Center founder and CEO, Dr. Dan Holtzclaw, has attended and provided dental implant continuing education lectures in Italy, Brazil, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Las Vegas, and Chicago.

Dental implants allow doctors to equip patients with new, permanent teeth that can restore hope, confidence, and a beautiful smile. At DIA Dental Implant Center, the implant specialists craft custom built crowns and bridges in their in-house laboratory using world-class Zirkonzahn™ technology. Combining advanced technology and the highest-quality materials on the market, restorations at DIA Dental Implant Center are customized to complement each patient’s unique facial features.

If patients have a full arch of missing teeth, the doctors at DIA Dental Implant Center offer a same-day, full arch tooth replacement option called DIArch™. With DIArch™ dental implant treatment, the board-certified specialists at DIA Dental Implant Center can deliver a permanent set of dental implant teeth in just one visit. Patients return home the same day with a complete smile and can even enjoy a meal that night. This full arch dental implant solution is easy to maintain, allowing patients to continue hygiene routines like normal. Unlike “snap-on” dental implant solutions offered by many other dental offices, DIArch™ dental implant bridges are permanent and never come out of the patient’s mouth. The permanent DIArch™ dental implant bridges require no messy salves, creams, or adhesives typically associated with dentures. With proper maintenance, full arch dental implants can last for over 20 years.

Those with missing or damaged teeth who are looking for a trusted team of implant specialists in the Austin, TX area can connect with the doctors at DIA Dental Implant Center for a complimentary dental implant consultation. To schedule an appointment, visit http://www.diadentalimplants.com or call the office at 512-375-0050.

About the Practice

DIA Dental Implant Center was founded by Dr. Dan Holtzclaw, one of the world’s leading authorities on full arch immediately loaded dental implant treatment. Using experience from thousands of dental implant procedures, Dr. Holtzclaw pioneered the DIArch™ implant teeth-in-a-day treatment concept, which allows patients to receive a new dental implant smile in just one day.
