OGO is Breathing New Life Into CyberSpace

OGO is Breathing New Life Into CyberSpace

OGO Oxygenwater, the crystalline Dutch export with 35 times the amount of oxygen to regular water, has only been in the U. S. for two months, but the response from both trade and consumer is much higher than anticipated. OGO headquarters have been unable to accommodate the demand. To alleviate this problem and open up availability of OGO, its importer Verve Brands LLC is proud to announce the launch of its new website on June 29.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 29, 2006

Phew... Retailers, bars, clubs, hotels, spas, health enthusiasts, athletes, cool kids, chic adults and luxury connoisseurs are breathing a huge collective sigh of relief. One of the most prestigious European bottled water imports, OGO Oxygenwater, is now available online at www. BUYOGO. com.

Ordering this premium, oxygenated spring water from www. BUYOGO. com is simple and hassle free; it’s as easy as breathing. Since its introduction to the United States this past month, this luxuriously healthy and natural water from the Netherlands has quickly piqued the interests and curiosity of many trade buyers and consumers. The water has been infused with pure O2 to promote energy, help digest food, metabolize fats, clean and detoxify, and enhance a number of other bodily functions.

“OGO has only been available for one month and already we are getting a huge response,” says Larry Greenway, CEO of Verve Brands LLC, the U. S.A representative for OGO. “With 35 times the oxygen of regular waters, healthy benefits, superb taste and a chic look, retailers are looking for a faster way to get their hands on it. We’re even getting calls from consumers from different towns and cities in the States asking where they can find OGO for their parties and personal consumption. Our web site, www. BUYOGO. com, will finally ease the demand and provide both retailers and consumers easy access to OGO.”

Packaged in a chic 330ml spherical bottle created by Parisian designer Ora Ito, it looks stylish in the fridge and in the hand, while helping the body feel great. Currently, only ‘Still’ is available online, with refreshing ‘Sparkling’ and tantalizing ‘Flower Power,’ a concoction dreamed up by renowned Parisian bar tender Theirry Hernandez and infused with floral essences, to follow suit in Fall 2006. OGO’s renowned OGO Oxygencanisters, one of the most sought-after accessories within the European trendsetters, will also be available later in the year.

“OGO’s mission about combining health and well-being, luxury, style and fun. All OGO products carry this message and are meant to represent the lifestyle this generation of fine goods purveyors seek,” continues Greenway. “www. BUYOGO. com is going to bring this lifestyle directly to retailers and consumers. The internet has never been as fresh as it is with this added burst of pure oxygen.”

Consumers who can’t wait to have OGO Oxygenwater at their next summer party can purchase the water online for $29.95 per case (12 bottles), with free shipping during the introductory period. And this is a small price to pay for the natural goodness in the world’s only “breathing water.”

Special introductory prices are available through Fall 2006 for trade accounts by contacting Verve Brands via email. Trade support collaterals and P-O-P materials will also be made available to trade accounts on request. To learn more about the benefits of oxygen and OGO Oxygen products, visit our web site at www.

Practice Partner EHR User Named AAFPÂ’s 2005 Family Physician of the Year

Practice Partner EHR User Named AAFPÂ’s 2005 Family Physician of the Year

Richard Paris, M. D. was named the 2005 Family Physician of the Year by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) at their annual meeting in October 2004 for his 25 years of patient care and teaching. He is the first electronic health record (EHR) user to win this award.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 22, 2004

Richard Paris, M. D. was named the 2005 Family Physician of the Year by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) at their annual meeting in October 2004 for his 25 years of patient care and teaching. He is the first electronic health record (EHR) user to win this award. However, he probably won't be the last because the AAFP has developed the Partners for Patients initiative to help AAFP members acquire affordable, standards-based electronic health records (EHRs). Physician Micro Systems, Inc. (PMSI)—the creator of the Practice Partner® line of electronic health record and practice management systems—is a core member of the AAFP’s Partners for Patients program and is proud to have Dr. Paris as a customer.

Dr. Paris practices family medicine at Hailey Medical Clinic in Hailey, ID, which consists of nine providers at two offices that are approximately ten miles apart. Many patients visit both offices, which posed a problem because the staff at each office did not always have access to the patientsÂ’ paper charts. In January 2002, Hailey Medical Clinic implemented an EHR and appointment scheduling system, Practice Partner Patient Records and Appointment Scheduler. By October 2002, they were completely paperless. A specialized phone line connects the two offices and allows the staff to access all patient charts, regardless of which office the patients visit.

Dr. Paris is also part of a rural outreach program. Twice a month, he flies a small plane to Challis—one of the most geographically isolated clinics in the lower 48 states—which is about 130 miles away from Hailey and is staffed by one PA. Currently, this rural clinic uses paper charts. The PA has to make copies of the paper charts and then mail them to Hailey Medical Clinic for Dr. Paris to review. Dr. Paris is planning to implement Practice Partner in Challis—with grant assistance from PMSI—so that all the clinical staff has instant access to patient data, regardless of their location.

In addition, Hailey Medical Clinic is a rural teaching site for students from the University of Washington School of Medicine. Dr. Paris teaches in the universityÂ’s Rural/Underserved Opportunities Program (RUOP), a four-week program for medical students transitioning between their first and second year, and the WWAMI Rural Integrated Training Experience program (WRITE), a six-month rural program for third-year students.

According to Dr. Paris, Practice Partner has been an instrumental teaching tool. He stated that his students quickly learn how to enter patient information such as past medical history, family history, social history, and previous immunizations directly into the electronic chart. Since implementing Practice Partner, Dr. Paris has found that he spends less time on documentation and more time directly interacting with students.

Dr Paris says, “I am excited and proud to be an ambassador for the AAFP in their initiative to improve family medicine by encouraging more family physicians to adopt an EHR. I can attest to the efficiencies, and therefore improvements, to patient care that are garnered by actually using an EHR.”

Bluesky Announces Free Discount Prescription Card Loyalty Program

Bluesky Announces Free Discount Prescription Card Loyalty Program

Bluesky today announced it will be offering its free prescription card program to companies who provide products and services to the unbanked and underbanked market. This program is meant to be a value-added benefit for companies to offer their customers in order to encourage retention/loyalty and increase non-core revenues. The benefit is free to those companies that can distribute at least 5,000 cards and all companies are paid a commission based upon the total number of prescriptions filled by their groups.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 3, 2006

bluesky today announced it will be offering its free prescription card program to companies who provide products and services to the unbanked and underbanked market. This program is meant to be a value-added benefit for companies to offer their customers in order to encourage retention/loyalty and increase non-core revenues. The benefit is free to those companies that can distribute at least 5,000 cards and all companies are paid a commission based upon the usage generated by their groups.

“We have found a high incidence rate of those in the unbanked market in need of our prescription product. In fact, we have been seeing usage rates reaching 46% with clients focused on this market.” says Douglas Barkley Vice President of Operations for bluesky.

The product itself offers discounts ranging from 10-60% at over 48,000 pharmacies nationwide. The benefit is implemented by placing the necessary prescription artwork onto a card (new or existing) and distributing the free benefit to customers as a value-added program. Once the customer has the card, he or she can walk into a pharmacy and receive a discount of up to 60% by presenting the card to the pharmacist. It works much like a coupon.

This program has been created by the pharmaceutical industry to encourage consumers who would not normally fill a prescription at a pharmacy to do so. This is why there is compensation for those companies that can distribute the benefit to consumers in underserved markets. The monthly payouts are based on the usage of the benefit, meaning that every time a customer receives a discount at the pharmacy the company is given a flat commission.

For those companies that choose to participate, this program offers a non-disruptive way to increase retention/loyalty and an opportunity to further monetize a customer base. All of bluesky’s programs are turnkey and all customer service and discount processing is handled by the administrator. The only cost a company absorbs is printing and distributing the cards.

About bluesky

Bluesky is a boutique affinity services firm dedicated to providing its clients with custom tailored affinity health options at wholesale rates. We are a full-service firm and provide the extra support and personal touch groups need when researching and implementing value-added programs for their members.

Human Touch(TM), the leading brand of high-technology, design-oriented massage chairs for today's modern and traditional living spaces, announced today that its revolutionary HT-7450 Zero-Gravity massage chair has been selected as an Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Award honoree in the Furniture product category by The Consumer Electronics Association. Recognized for its multi-patented massage technology, such as its Acupoint(TM) Detection System that scans the entire length of the user's back creating a map of key pressure points to target during the massage, the HT-7450 Zero-Gravity massage chair received the award today at the Consumer Electronic Show's (CES) New York Press Preview, the Consumer Electronics Association's annual sneak peek of the hottest new products and upcoming 2008 International CES technology trends.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB) November 13, 2007

"After years of development, we are excited to offer the first massage chair that effectively counteracts the everyday effects that gravity has on the human body's muscles and joints. It is gratifying to be recognized for a product that uses advanced massage technology to make people's lives better."

The Human Touch HT-7450 Zero-Gravity massage chair is the world's first massage chair that incorporates the latest advances in both massage and back-care technology to counteract back and muscle pain caused by gravity's adverse effects. Once seated, the chair's back, seat and footrest synchronously recline to situate the body in a position that reduces the physical strain that is exerted on the body by gravity. The chair's patented Acupoint(TM) Detection System then proceeds to scan the entire length of the back creating a map of key pressure points to target during the massage. The user is then treated to a massage that targets key pressure points of the sciatic nerve with pulsating seat massagers that pinpoint "problem areas" and deliver a deep, invigorating massage.

In addition to its unparalleled Acupoint Detection System and tension-relieving 8-point pulsating seat massage system, the HT-7450 Zero Gravity massage chair is made from premium-grade leather, includes a built-in adjustable foot and calf massager, dual-lumbar back heat, neck-contoured comfort pillow and a memory foam seat cushion enabling users to enjoy the same unsurpassed softness and comfort that cushions NASA astronauts as they blast into space.

Ohio County Library Saves $7,200 with Walling Data and AVG Anti-Virus

Ohio County Library Saves $7,200 with Walling Data and AVG Anti-Virus

When other programs allowed viruses to run rampant, AVG provided powerful protection for Ohio public library.

Newton, NC (PRWEB) April 15, 2010

Jeff Offenbaker has been the computer specialist at Licking County Library in Newark, Ohio for the past three years. When he first came on board at the public library, they were running Symantec Antivirus on its 140 workstations and 7 servers.

"About 43 of our workstations are for public use, so it is really important that we run a solid and impenetrable anti-virus solution that keeps out viruses and trojans," Offenbaker remarked. "We were using Symantec before, and it let us down often because it didn't update automatically and continued to let viruses run undetected."

So just a few months ago, Offenbaker decided to find a new anti-virus solution that would stop viruses in their tracks.

"Our Symantec licenses weren't even expired yet, but the time came around for our budget meeting in which we would allocate funds for anti-virus licenses. I knew then that we needed to find something different," Offenbaker said. "We just couldn't afford the risks these threats posed to members of our community using our computers."

The Search Is On

Offenbaker and his colleague heard about AVG Anti-Virus and decided to do a test run of the product. They downloaded an AVG Anti-Virus Trial onto one of their servers and tested the new software for 24 hours.

"In that short amount of time, AVG caught more viruses on that one server than Symantec ever had!" Offenbaker said. "I knew right then and there that AVG was the product we would choose."

Walling Data Saves Library $7200

Offenbaker then searched online for a distributor to purchase his AVG Anti-Virus licenses from, and found Walling Data. There were several reasons he decided to make the purchase from Walling.

"Walling Data was the most local distributor and they give us free and unlimited product support for the length of our licenses."

But it was Walling Data's special pricing for government offices is what really sealed the deal.

"When I did some price checking in preparation for our meeting, I found that AVG was going to save us about $7,200 a year," Offenbaker said. "Needless to say there was no contesting this move."

Later when Offenbaker presented his choice for AVG in the budget meeting, he had no problems getting approval for the new licenses.

"When I called Walling Data to start the purchasing process, it was extremely simple. In fact, the whole process only took about three hours. They offered to help me set up AVG on our network but I didn't need it. AVG is very straightforward, user friendly, and just easy to deal with."

"I love everything about AVG!"
Today, Offenbaker is still pleased with his decision to switch to AVG Anti-Virus.

"AVG is keeping our network healthy. It's full-featured, good on emails and easy on our servers. I love the automatic updates, too. Basically, I love everything about AVG!"

"In fact, I would say that AVG Anti-Virus is the best product going right now."

National Survey Reveals That Eight out of Ten Pet Owners Give Their Pets Gifts Barking Bundle Apron-Towel Debuts at TubbyBundle. com

National Survey Reveals That Eight out of Ten Pet Owners Give Their Pets Gifts Barking Bundle Apron-Towel Debuts at TubbyBundle. com

The Barking Tubby Bundle assists dog owners in keeping their pets healthy and happy. This unique new pet product makes a unique & personalized gift perfect for any occasion.

Westborough, MA (PRWEB) January 31, 2007

The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association's (APPMA) 2005-2006 National Pet Owners Survey shows pet ownership is currently at its highest level, with 63 percent of all U. S. households, or 69 million homes, owning a pet. Now, Kristen Arnold of www. BarkingTubbyBundle. com, a long-time foster care provider to shelter animals builds on her commitment to animals by creating a line of pet care products to help ease the transition at home when bringing in a new pet. Her Barking Bundle bath towel makes a perfect gift for furry family members whether adopted from a shelter or bought at a store.

"With pets becoming a part of the typical American family, people are treating them more and more like children," Arnold comments. "Giving them gifts, such as my Barking Bundle bath towel, in appreciation for the love and companionship they provide is a great way to express your love for your pet." The Barking Bundle, a 29' x 54' towel-apron that maintains the pet-owner bond through physical closeness during bath time, is Arnold's premier pet care product and available with or without the pet name embroidered on it. It contains a pocket for pet shampoo and is available in several different styles.

While toys and treats are important for all pets, it's important to remember that a well-groomed dog is a happy dog. Dog Grooming is important for hygiene and health. If not properly groomed, dogs are susceptible to getting skin rashes, ear infections, fleas and ticks, along with a host of other types of hygiene-related problems. Dog Grooming is a serious issue. All dogs, regardless of their breed, need grooming to be a part of their dog care regimen. Home grooming is a great time for one on one bonding with your animal while monitoring for any health issues.

Arnold is creating her line of pet care products that make superb gifts for pets at a time when the (APPMA) announces in its latest survey that eight out of ten pet lovers give gift to their pets especially at Christmas as well as birthdays, Easter, Valentine's Day, and other special occasions. "Parties for pets are also becoming popular," states Arnold. "The embroidered Barking Bundles are often favorite gifts."

Kristen Arnold is owner and operator of www. BarkingTubbyBundle. com. She features a line of apron-towels for babies as well as pets. Call 866-208-0341 for more information.

How Bad Is Poverty In The U. S.?

How Bad Is Poverty In The U. S.?

The results of recent private study show that 20% of Americans live in poverty. But how bad is it for those poor? According to an article in the magazine News Informant, the reality may be that a large percentage of those who show up as poor are only poor for short periods of time. This is not to minimize the effects of the situation on those who end up in this category. Understanding the realities of poverty in the U. S. is important for finding appropriate ways to alleviate poverty.

(PRWEB) October 22, 2004

(PRWEB) October 22, 2004 – An article in the most recent issue of the weekly web magazine News Informant looks at the problems of poverty in the U. S. According to the article, a recent study performed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation show that 1 in 5 Americans live in poverty. This confirms the growth in the number of Americans living below the poverty line that was reported by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics last summer. The number is alarming, but what does it mean.

As the article states, some long-term studies indicate that a large percentage of those designated as poor live below the poverty level for short periods of time. This does not mean that poverty is non-existent or that those who live in short-term poverty do not suffer. It also does not contradict the notion that 1990s welfare reform may now be adding to the misery of the poor, according to News Informant editor Bernard Perlstein. “Under the guidelines of the welfare reform legislation passed in the 1990s, the states are not as easily able to come to the rescue of those who found jobs in the late 1990s but have not been able to hold onto them today, in the more sluggish U. S. economy,” says Perlstein.

The News Informant article, entitled “Is U. S. Poverty Growing,” discusses the problems of both short-term and long-term poverty, including its relation to health coverage.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 17, 2011

How far will anyone go in order to stay in great physical, mental and psychological health? Reading quality health articles will help one get a heads up about the state of ones health and what they need to do, eat or even wear in order to stay in great shape – and besides, this method is a whole lot better and cheaper than going to visit a physician anytime there is a need to know one or two things concerning health and fitness.

TheHealthCareArticles. com is the website where one is sure of getting only quality health articles that cover a wide range of healthcare topics.

A whole lot of people have a very strong desire to stay fit and healthy and there are a lot of ways they can achieve this – not everyone can afford the astronomical cost of plastic surgery.

Yes, the internet is filled with many websites that offer articles on healthcare, but many of the articles on these websites are written in medical jargon that can leave anyone very confused. At TheHealthCareArticles. com, they are articles specifically written on health that are right on the money, and these articles are also written in simple English that anyone can easily understand.

Anyone who wants tips on how to be healthy or stay healthy, they are sure to find loads of information on a variety of health topics at TheHealthCareArticles. com.

One will be updated on the various ways they can maintain good health.

The great thing about reading these articles versus paying the doctor a visit each time there is a health related question is that one gets to do it from the comfort their home. Health is wealth.

Reading frequently about health will keep one focused. If one of the goals for 2011 (and beyond) is to live a healthier life, then it just makes sense to read articles on health that will make the fitness goal achievable. Most people will agree that sticking to their goal is easy for at least a couple of days, but after only about a week, they may start to lose focus. Reading health articles will keep one focused and will even serve as a reminder each day of one’s health goals.

It is cheaper and less humiliating than plastic surgery! No “normal person” wants to spend time worrying about what other people are talking behind their back about their “botched face lift!” Reading articles on health is the best way to look and feel great.

Reading health articles will guide one in the right direction. For example, some people are trying to lose the excess pounds, but go about it the wrong way – they end up hurting themselves. Reading the right information will guide them on the ways to lose weight properly.

It also includes important facts about machine training, wht some common ab exercises can destroy one's back and cause major muscular dysfunctions. 125 photographs demonstrate proper form for 42 gut-busting exercises.

Excess abdominable fat can be unsightly, dangerous and even debihlitating. However, a brand new system has been developed to shrink the waist line, strenghten the core muscles and increase healthy body function. Excess weight around the middle can finally be eliminated without painful and uncomfortable sit-ups and crunches.

Online Communities Offer Effective Support for Drinkers Overcoming Alcohol Dependence

Online Communities Offer Effective Support for Drinkers Overcoming Alcohol Dependence

Roberta Jewell’s “My Way Out” website is a leader in online support for those suffering with alcohol addiction. Research has demonstrated this new virtual therapy is an effective means of providing information, mentoring, and fellowship, especially for those who want to quit drinking or moderate their excessive use of alcohol. It is particularly attractive to individuals who are working on overcoming their alcoholism, but are uncomfortable attending AA or other traditional, face-to-face meetings

Fairbanks, AK (PRWEB) August 17, 2006

New research confirms the Internet has become an increasingly attractive option for recovering addicts who seek support but are unwilling to attend traditional 12-step meetings.

Leading the trend is a website associated with the book “My Way Out” written by Roberta Jewell and Dr. Linda Garcia, MD]. It describes a cutting-edge alcohol recovery program that blends self-administered hypnotherapy, medication, nutritional supplements and light exercise. Therapy is typically undertaken with the help of a prescribing clinician but done in the privacy of one’s home. Program support is found in a virtual community (http://www. mywayout. org/community) linked from the authors’ website.

“It’s been pretty phenomenal”, says Jewell, who administers the web support site. “We’ve just moved our original site (http://p095.ezboard. com/bmywayout62668) to a more robust system so we can provide our growing number of members with some rich new features like live chat, private email, and multiple discussion forums. It’s all free, anonymous, and available to anyone 24 hours a day.” Her program was also recently featured in a television campaign (http://www. mywayout. tv), which brought additional attention to the program in the US.

To date, Jewell said her combined message boards have had over 1.3 million hits and nearly a thousands registered users since launching it in October, 2004. She says the vast majority of visitors don’t necessarily register, but benefit nonetheless from the support and motivation found in hundreds of messages posted each day.

"Online support is an effective option for drinkers who want to communicate with people in their situation but won't go near a 12-step group for all kinds of reasons," says Temma Ehrenfeld, a reporter at Newsweek, whose story about online therapy (http://www. msnbc. msn. com/id/10684826/site/newsweek. com) was published in January, 2006. "They might be too shy, or worried about their privacy, or maybe they don't like the religious aspect of AA and don't have other community groups in their area."

“It’s true,” says Jewell. “Even though the community is ‘virtual’, it allows people from all over the world to connect with one another in the most meaningful and powerful way. I think we need to respect the fact that a huge number of drinkers will simply not attend face-to-face meetings. Some of our members do, and that’s great—the program is highly customizable.”

Jewell, who wrote her book under a pen name to preserve her family’s privacy, overcame her own drinking problem after developing an integrative therapy based on twenty years of research and groundbreaking work by addiction specialists first published in a 2003 Lancet article. The program has now been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek Magazine and wired. com and has been adopted by thousands of people seeking help for their alcohol dependence. Health care providers from all over the world have increasingly embraced the program, as well.

My Way Out allows moderated, or controlled, drinking as a goal for some who do not wish to become completely abstinent. For that reason, it is considered controversial by many within the traditional recovery movement.

“That’s okay,” says Jewell, who is no longer fazed by her critics. “Simply read the hundreds of messages on our board from individuals who have reduced their drinking dramatically—say, from 30 drinks a week to three or four. It has completely transformed their lives and improved their health. It’s clear to me there’s a lot of value in a harm reduction approach.”

But moderation isn’t for everyone, she insists. “It's really important for people to do a serious assessment about their relationship with alcohol—it’s part of the process—and many times, it means saying good-bye to it forever. However, this program, along with the online support and mentoring people receive, gives them an excellent starting point. They often ‘buddy up’ with someone across the globe as they begin. It’s all very exciting because we see them evolve right before our eyes."

Jewell says visitors to the site are often struck by how closely their own personal situation mirrors others, who, like them, have been reluctant to share a secret drinking problem.

“Many of our members are highly functional problem drinkers. Incredibly, there are four problem drinkers for every hard core alcoholic. The sense of relief and hope they feel when establishing those relationships with others is absolutely palpable.”

My Way Out incorporates anti-craving medication such as Topamax, Campral, or Naltrexone, although some patients forgo medicine and focus on other aspects of the program. A specific blend of nutritional supplements address withdrawal and craving, and include vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbs. Customized hypnotherapy is delivered on CD recordings (http://www14.instantestore. net/merchant12288/cat_my. cfm), and a three-day-a-week exercise program is also recommended.

Medical Director Linda Garcia, MD, an internist who specializes in addiction treatment, says My Way Out finally offers effective tools to help patients tackle an addiction they’ve otherwise felt powerless to control.

“Finally, we can treat alcohol dependence like we do diabetes or hypertension,” she says, “with medication, lifestyle changes and nutritional support. The entire program can be done from home. There’s no need for someone to leave their family. I also counsel my patients to seek counseling and support, but many are uncomfortable with fellowship-based meetings. I think that’s why My Way Out’s online forum (http://www. mywayout. org/community/) has been so beneficial. It really seems to help people on their road to recovery.”

MedSurge Advances Announces MesoMassage(TM), a New Technology for Reducing Stubborn Fat Deposits: New Method of Mesotherapy Enables Painless Delivery of Fat-Burning Ingredients to Larger Treatment Areas, Such as the Thighs, Abdomen and Buttocks

MedSurge Advances Announces MesoMassage(TM), a New Technology for Reducing Stubborn Fat Deposits: New Method of Mesotherapy Enables Painless Delivery of Fat-Burning Ingredients to Larger Treatment Areas, Such as the Thighs, Abdomen and Buttocks

MedSurge Advances, the nation's largest independent provider of aesthetic medicine products and services to physicians, today announced the introduction of MesoMassage(TM), a new method of delivering the benefits of mesotherapy through a combination of electrotherapy and ultrasound technologies.

DALLAS (PRWEB) August 7, 2007

 "Mesotherapy is effective in delivering naturally produced fat-burning ingredients to specific areas of the body," said Pascal Servell, clinical director of MedSurge Advances. "However, it traditionally has been injected through hypodermic needles, and can require many injections to have a noticeable impact on appearance.

"Now, with MesoMassage, we can deliver these ingredients painlessly, opening pathways through the skin without needles to burn fat in larger areas where cellulite, stubborn fat deposits and unsightly bulges reside."

Mesotherapy utilizes a cocktail of fat-burning ingredients such as phosphatydilcholine and deoxycholate to act as "fat detergents," targeting adipose fat cells by inducing rupture and cell death among adipocytes. Mesotherapy is an effective treatment for cellulite reduction, liposculpting and body contouring practiced by about 18,000 physicians worldwide.

Until now, the primary limitation of mesotherapy has been that it requires multiple injections to be effective. Each injection delivers the active ingredients to an area about the size of a quarter. As a result of the pain, swelling and other disadvantages associated with hypodermic needles, patients often tolerate treatment to only small areas of the body.

Because MesoMassage eliminates the need for multiple hypodermic injections, it is more practical to apply to large areas of the body than traditional mesotherapy. MesoMassage combines electric and ultrasonic waveforms to open pathways through the skin, enabling the painless delivery of mesotherapy ingredients to problem areas such as the thighs, abdomen and buttocks.

Availability

MesoMassage is available exclusively through U. S. physicians and is a core technology of futureperfect(TM) Total Body Management Centers. Interested physicians are asked to contact Jennifer DeLaughter at 877.804.9460 or by e-mail at jdelaughter@medsurgeadvances. com.

Edifecs Launches HIPAA Companion Guide Testing on Collabrus

Edifecs Launches HIPAA Companion Guide Testing on Collabrus

Edifecs, Inc., a provider of B2B solutions for transaction-based interoperability, today announced it has launched HIPAA payer companion guide testing on Collabrus™, their transaction testing and certification service for the healthcare industry. Edifecs, through Collabrus (formerly HIPAADesk), has been providing free testing and certification against HIPAA transaction standards since 2001.

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) September 18, 2006

Edifecs, Inc., a provider of B2B solutions for transaction-based interoperability, today announced it has launched HIPAA payer companion guide testing on Collabrus™, their transaction testing and certification service for the healthcare industry. Edifecs, through Collabrus (formerly HIPAADesk), has been providing free testing and certification against HIPAA transaction standards since 2001. Testing and certifying for compliance with HIPAA prepares healthcare entities for the exchange of electronic transactions in general and is an important early step in the implementation process. However, testing against HIPAA standards does not necessarily mean an entity is ready to exchange electronic transactions with trading partners.

While HIPAA defines standard data requirements for healthcare transactions, payers might have additional requirements. Payers publish these requirements in companion guides which supplement the HIPAA Implementation Guides. Companion guide testing combines the requirements of HIPAA and those of the payer, allowing members to test for both sets of requirements at the same time.

For a limited time, payers may submit their companion guides to Edifecs to be programmed for testing at no charge to the payer.

For organizations in need of companion guide testing, Collabrus offers a one-stop solution reducing the time it takes to test with a payer and identify errors. The on-demand solution is available online 24x7x365*, making testing payer requirements easier and more convenient. Users may choose to test each payer individually or test against hundreds of payers at one time. Collabrus’ intuitive user interface and clear error reporting provides a powerful tool for users to aid them in achieving payer compliance requirements.

*Subject to Internet availability

About Edifecs, Inc.

Edifecs helps organizations achieve interoperability and return on investment by simplifying the adoption of standard electronic transactions and deriving business value from trading partner communities. The Edifecs® Healthcare Suite™ includes business performance management applications that automate and manage the full lifecycle of transactions; defining requirements, community enablement, testing and data validation, real-time transaction monitoring, claim repair and reconciliation, facilitating direct connectivity and providing transaction analytics.

2006 marks 10 years of Edifecs’ expertise in providing innovative technology solutions to over 1600 customers worldwide. Edifecs has over 300 customers and partners in healthcare that include 16 Blue Plans, 35 Medicaid, State and Federal Agencies, along with partnership arrangements with most leading middleware stack vendors. Edifecs is the sponsor of Collabrus, one of healthcare’s largest third party testing and certification services with over 10,000 members. Founded in 1996, Edifecs is headquartered in Bellevue, WA.

Global Health Progress Releases New Report that Features Innovative Solutions to Improve Access to Healthcare in India

Global Health Progress Releases New Report that Features Innovative Solutions to Improve Access to Healthcare in India

Report highlights collaboration between Indian communities, biopharmaceutical companies and other international partners

Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 24, 2010

Global Health Progress’ recently released report, Innovative Solutions to Improving Health in India, summarizes how the organization is committed to building sustainable, innovative solutions to secure access to healthcare for all Indian communities.

The report notes that access to healthcare remains problematic in parts of India, especially in rural areas. For instance, forty percent of the country’s primary healthcare centers are understaffed and fewer than one in five have a telephone connection. Nearly one million Indians die every year due to inadequate healthcare facilities and lack of access to healthcare. Without qualified health care professionals and fully equipped health facilities, programs to assist patients with medicines (both patented and unpatented) are of little use.

Additionally, chronic diseases are on the rise in India and infectious diseases continue to afflict Indian patients. India has the highest prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in the world, 60 percent of the world’s heart disease, and malaria has staged a comeback after its near eradication in the 1960s. An estimated 40.9 million Indian patients suffer from diabetes, the highest number in the world, and 30 million people are infected with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV).

Global Health Progress recognizes this serious situation and calls on joint action among local leaders and diverse global stakeholders to implement sustainable, innovative solutions. Fortunately, Indian communities have successful and long-standing collaborations with biopharmaceutical companies and other international partners.

The full report, which features examples of India’s successful and long-standing collaborations with international partners, is available here: http://globalhealthprogress. org/mediacenter/index. php/global-health-progress-report-highlights-efforts-to-improve-access-to-healthcare-in-india/ (http://globalhealthprogress. org/mediacenter/index. php/global-health-progress-report-highlights-efforts-to-improve-access-to-healthcare-in-india/).

About Global Health Progress:
Global Health Progress provides a platform for companies, governments, public health leaders, universities, foundations, and other stakeholders to share experiences and best practices and to forge new partnerships. Global Health Progress also supports efforts to raise awareness and mobilize resources to address health challenges in the developing world by bringing local leaders together with international health experts, policymakers, donor governments, and the private sector.
