MedicalSchoolsinUSA.com responds to the growing need of doctors in the country and gives students helpful information to transition into medical schools with new release of articles.

(PRWEB) July 24, 2016

2016 has seen a growing need for doctors, especially general-care physicians. With the increasing costs of medical school and the lowering wages for unspecialized doctors, the need for these doctors only seems to be increasing. Experts believe the need is a combination of wages, medical school cost, and the growing population of elderly from the baby boomer generation.

The team at MedicalSchoolsinUSA.com, a site that has provided guides and helpful articles for medical students, has responded to the increasing concern about this situation with the release of new articles. The informational articles are tailored towards guiding students on the path towards the medical field. These articles are also intended to help students succeed while they are learning about this lucrative field.

The spokesman of the company, Ben Davidson, released a statement with this announcement. “It’s a shame that many students are turning away from general physician roles because they are the backbone of the medical field. Families across the Midwest are in dire need of more doctors to help the growing population of elderly citizens and if people don’t find the need to take these roles, the country is going to have some problems in the near future.”

Among the new list of articles that MedicalSchoolsinUSA.com has released to help students along their medical school path, people can find articles that help students transfer from high school to college with a medical school focus, go from college to medical school, and even prepare for residency.

The company also updates information on important medical school tests, like the MCAT, and shows them how they can prepare for these tests as well.

The team at MedicalSchoolsinUSA.com proudly updates their site with relevant and informative information about medical school regularly as well. Not only do the articles help with studies, but they also focus on subjects that many people don’t consider, such as choosing a specialty or managing debt after graduation.

Davidson and his team hope their release of articles will help new students make the transition into medical school to solve this nation-wide problem.

MetroFit SA, a leading self storage operator based in São Paulo, Brazil has closed on an investment from the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. The transaction aims to recapitalize MetroFit’s existing facilities as well as provide expansion capital for development and selective acquisitions of Brazilian self storage facilities.

Lake Forest, Illinois (PRWEB) July 25, 2016

MetroFit SA (“Metrofit” or the “Company”), a leading self storage operator based in São Paulo, Brazil has closed on an investment from the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS, “Goldman Sachs”). The transaction aims to recapitalize MetroFit’s existing facilities as well as provide expansion capital for development and selective acquisitions of Brazilian self storage facilities.

MetroFit was founded in 2012 as a joint venture between Grupo TRX, a São Paulo-based real estate developer and fund manager, and Metro Storage LLC, one of the top 10 largest owner/operators of self-storage facilities in the US with over 100 stores covering 12 states. Since its founding, MetroFit has focused on the development and operation of self storage facilities principally in the São Paulo metropolitan area.

Through the investment, MetroFit intends to become the leading self storage platform in the Brazilian market. MetroFit estimates that there are only 150 self storage facilities currently catering to a country-wide population of approximately 200 million in Brazil. The continued urbanization of Brazil’s large metropolitan markets, combined with the growing consumerism across all income segments, portend well for self storage operators like MetroFit that provide short-term, flexible storage solutions for personal as well as commercial customers.

Added Luiz Augusto F. do Amaral, CEO of Grupo TRX, “This investment is being launched during a delicate economic moment in Brazil, but we are totally confident in Brazil’s long-term prospects and Goldman’s investment in MetroFit demonstrates why self storage is such a compelling business opportunity in Brazil.”

For MetroFit co-founder and CEO, Hans Scholl, the Company’s transaction with Goldman Sachs will accelerate the growth of the self storage segment in Brazil. “Self storage is a solution that meets various needs in the market, whether for individuals or companies. Given the unplanned growth of many Brazilian cities and how unpredictable things can be from one day to the next, self storage has become an alternative for those who need additional space quickly and in a practical manner.” Scholl said.

Metro Storage LLC’s Chairman Matthew Nagel concluded: “We could not be more excited to add Goldman Sachs as an investor. Their investment in MetroFit helps position the Company for long-term growth and success.”

Goldman Sachs will continue to pursue additional interesting investment opportunities in Brazil.

MetroFit designs, develops and manages self storage facilities in Brazil with a focus on the major metropolitan markets. Headquartered in São Paulo, the Company is a fully-integrated self storage platform that operates under the MetroFit brand.

Recently, the President signed a bill into law that will expand the available resources for individuals struggling with addiction.

Marne, Michigan (PRWEB) July 25, 2016

After being approved by both the United States Senate and House of Representatives, the Presidents recently signed the Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Act of 2016 (CARA) into law. This new law provides immeasurable benefits for individuals who are struggling with addiction. The bill was initially introduced as a method of combatting the recent and devastating uptick in Opiate-related deaths. As drugs, such as prescription painkillers, Heroin, and Fentanyl, continue to cause fatal overdoses, the professionals at Serenity Recovery Center of Marne, Michigan hope that the new law will curb this destructive trend and change the way addiction is viewed by society.

Under this new law, minor drug offenders (such as individuals who are arrested for possession) can be given the option of treatment, as opposed to incarceration. With that in mind, addiction can begin to be seen as the public health issue that it is, as opposed to simply being viewed as a crime. As the Opiate epidemic continues to devastate communities, the justice system and prisons have become overwhelmed with minor drug offenders. Not only does this cost the government tens of thousands of dollars per offender, it also does nothing to help addicts achieve long- term sobriety. While incarcerated, addicts have minimal to no access to addiction treatment programs. What programs do exist are typically poorly run and shockingly underfunded. Serenity Recovery Center supports the aspects of this new law that give addicts the opportunity to gain sobriety in a professional, clinical setting.

Not only will this new law provide minor drug offenders with enhanced treatment options, it will also increase resources and educational opportunities for addicts and their families. Additionally, it will enhance prescription drug monitoring programs and increase the availability of Naloxone throughout the United States. According to Serenity Recovery Center, this law will help change the perspective of the many Americans who view addicts as criminals, as opposed to individuals with a treatable illness. Treating addiction as a public health issue makes sense for all parties involved. “On its most basic level, treating substance abuse as a public health issue and not a crime will help to greatly reduce government expenditures in this area… When inmates do not receive the treatment they need while in prison (or in lieu of prison), they are more likely to reoffend, which results in the need for additional funding.”

When this progressive new law is supported by industry experts, such as Serenity Recovery Center, individuals can begin to see the benefits of its provisions. Not only will it save money, it will also help save lives of addicts who would otherwise languish in the prison system. In addition, the families and communities of these individuals will experience fewer collateral consequences of incarceration as a result.

Each addict costs the government approximately $30,000 per year. About 60% of the 2.3 million U.S. inmates are incarcerated because of drug offenses. On a practical level, if individuals who commit minor, non-violent drug crimes are offered treatment in lieu of a prison sentence, prisons are bound to require significantly less funding. Additionally, if treatment options are provided, recidivism will be reduced, effectively stemming the cost of incarceration. On a more personal level, increased resources for addicts and their families will help improve communities throughout the country that have been negatively impacted by substance abuse.

Though the perspective on drug and alcohol addiction is slow to change, the new CARA law is certainly a giant leap in the right direction for individuals who suffer from addiction. All parties involved will benefit when addiction is treated as a public health issue instead of a crime: the government will save funding, addicts have increased opportunities to achieve sobriety, and loved ones and communities will benefit from the presence of a healthy and productive member. The professionals at Serenity Recovery Center know the positive impact that this law will have throughout the country. With a more comprehensive understanding of addiction, fewer individuals will fall into its devastating trap and those who do will be afforded greater opportunities for recovery. For more information, please visit the Serenity Recovery website, or call them at 1-855- 218-3775.

New stationary bikes can be used in place of a chair, allowing users to incorporate movement into their day.

Fremont, CA (PRWEB) July 25, 2016

Loctek, a leading manufacturer of ergonomic office accessories, has launched a new line of desk bikes. The bikes function like a traditional stationary bike, but they are designed to be used while working at a desk.

The modern workplace has evolved to make employee health and wellness a priority. However, there aren’t many seamless ways to battle the sedentary life of a computer user without completely upending a person’s normal routine. Loctek’s new desk bikes make it easy to insert calorie-burning movement into a typical workday.

“Loctek has consistently provided solutions for computer ergonomics and now, with these bikes, we have another way to improve people’s overall well-being at work,” Loctek CEO Lane Xiang said.

As the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle become more widely understood, people are getting educated about the need to move more throughout the day. Among the few innovative office products being introduced to deal with this problem, the desk bikes represent an excellent low impact option. Loctek's research has led them to the conclusion that riding a bike is the least distracting way to bring movement into the office. Desk bike users can casually pedal away while typing up emails or reading through documents.

The new bikes are available in two designs. The U2 model has a sporty, contoured base and features a padded seat that can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally. The U1 model is referred to as an “X-bike” because its appearance resembles the letter “X”. It is lightweight and can be folded up for easy storage.

“These bikes have been extremely well received in previews. We are happy to now bring the product to market,” said Xiang. “Today’s businesses are dedicated to creating healthier work habits. Every office can benefit from this solution.”

The desk bikes can be used with most height adjustable desks and they are designed to operate quietly. Both models offer eight levels of resistance, so users can gradually increase their strength. The bikes also come equipped with an LCD display to track time, speed, calories burned and other achievements.

More information about Loctek’s new desk bikes is available at: Loctek.us

About Loctek
Loctek designs and manufactures computer monitor mounts, sit-stand solutions, fitness products, TV mounts and other AV peripherals. Since 1998, Loctek has been producing innovative solutions to improve the safety, functionality and convenience of office workspaces.

ESPRO® Inc., creators of award-winning French presses and brewing accessories that simply “Make it Better,” today filed a lawsuit against Made Simpli LLC, the makers of Simpli Press, for alleged patent infringement, seeking a court injunction. The lawsuit was filed with United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, Case #16-cv-04115, and concerns a patent owned by ESPRO Inc.

According to the complaint: in September 2015, ESPRO first observed an early version of the Simpli Press at a coffee-industry trade show, and made direct contact with the founder of Made Simpli to express concern on October 30, 2015. ESPRO soon learned that Made Simpli was planning to move ahead with a Kickstarter campaign to fund the Simpli Press. ESPRO reached out to Made Simpli again on May 16, 2016, before their Kickstarter project began, to inform them of what ESPRO believes to be an infringement of its patent rights. Made Simpli moved forward with the campaign to fund its product.

GEMMA clinical trial identified treatment options through personalized medicine

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (PRWEB) July 26, 2016

Genetic profiling of cancer tumors provides new avenues for treatment of the disease, according to a study conducted by Sanford Health and recognized by the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

In 2014, Sanford developed and launched the Genetic Exploration of the Molecular Basis of Malignancy in Adults, or GEMMA, to determine if evaluating genetic information could help customize treatment options for adult patients whose cancer had progressed after the first line of treatment or was too rare for standard treatment. DNA was extracted from tumor samples and tested to identify targets for treatment.

Oncologist and cancer researcher Steven Powell, M.D., and his team used next-generation gene sequencing technology to analyze tumor samples for more than 100 patients. More than 90 percent of those patients had gene mutations that could impact their treatment, Powell reported. Some patients, for example, discovered they were eligible for a clinical trial or might benefit from other personalized medicine therapies. Nearly 40 percent of these patients were able to be treated with personalized therapies as a result of their testing. Many were treated on clinical trials with new drugs that previously would not have been available to them in this region.

“Molecular profiling programs like GEMMA don’t typically experience this degree of success,” said Powell. “Sixteen percent of our patients were able to go on clinical trials matching them to a personalized therapy; many academic centers are only able to do this five percent of the time. Our numbers indicate that the development of a molecular profiling program in a community setting in the Midwest is not only feasible but effective in getting patients access to the newest treatments.”

Enrollment concluded in late 2015, and results of GEMMA were outlined in an abstract published in conjunction with this year’s American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting held in Chicago last month. The published abstract can be found on the ASCO website.

Later this year, Sanford will begin the second version of GEMMA, which will integrate molecular profiling as part of standard cancer care. The study is called Community Oncology Use of Molecular Profiling to Personalize the Approach to Specialized Cancer Treatment at Sanford, or COMPASS. Sanford experts will analyze treatment plans based on molecular profiling to determine if outcomes improve. As part of GEMMA and COMPASS, the Sanford team has brought in more than 60 different personalized therapy options for patients through clinical trials in the past two years.

A complete list of clinical trials available at Sanford can be found at sanfordhealth.org/clinicaltrials.

Sanford Health is an integrated health system headquartered in the Dakotas. It is one of the largest health systems in the nation with 43 hospitals and nearly 250 clinics in nine states and four countries. Sanford Health’s 27,000 employees, including 1,400 physicians, make it the largest employer in the Dakotas.

Leading researchers, scientists, and clinicians to examine sex differences in Alzheimer’s Disease with a focus on women

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) July 26, 2016

The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR®), the leading voice in research on biological differences between women and men, announces the start of a new initiative focused on examining sex and gender differences in Alzheimer’s disease.

“SWHR is proud to assemble some of the best researchers in the country to examine sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease and promote policies to advance Alzheimer’s disease research. The focus on sex differences is needed to understand why the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and its progression are different in women compared to men, and to further improve our current efforts for better therapies and prevention strategies,“ said Monica Mallampalli, PhD, MSc., SWHR Vice President of Scientific Affairs.

The members of the SWHR Interdisciplinary Network on Alzheimer’s Disease will work collaboratively over the next five years to address areas of need in Alzheimer’s disease pertaining to both research and policy.

“This unique Network addresses aging and dementia, one of the most important issues facing modern societies and it does so in the context of sex differences and how they are manifested across the life course,” said Bruce McEwen, PhD, Alfred E. Mirsky Professor of Neuroscience at the Rockefeller University, Director of the Harold and Margaret Milliken Hatch Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology, member of the SWHR Board of Directors and now current member of SWHR Interdisciplinary Network on Alzheimer’s Disease. “This Network fills an important gap, as no other group is likely to do this.”

The Network officially launched following a successful introductory meeting held by SWHR on July 20, 2016. The highlights of the meeting included a review of each member’s research expertise, a discussion of Network members’ viewpoints on Alzheimer’s disease, and their thoughts on prevention and treatment, latest research advances, and evidence-based policy needs.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (PRWEB) July 26, 2016

Candace Payne has released a rendition of “Heal the World” on iTunes with proceeds benefiting Convoy of Hope. Since the song was released on Monday, Payne’s single has been listed on iTunes Top 100 and landed the No. 32 spot on the day of the release.

Listen to Candace here.

Payne originally sang her arrangement of the classic Michael Jackson song live on her Facebook page and it received more than 5 million views. The outpouring of support from her fans inspired her to release the song on iTunes to benefit Convoy of Hope.

“I am so humbled and grateful to share my arrangement of Heal the World,” says Payne. “Recently, I’ve been so sad and hurt by what’s going on in the news, but I hope this inspires others to make the world a better place.”

Payne became a viral sensation after a Facebook Live video in May of her trying on a Chewbacca mask from Kohl’s grew to be the most-viewed Facebook Live video in history with 159+ million views. She became known as “Chewbacca Mom” and embarked on a coast-to-coast media tour on major network shows like Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight and The Late Late Show with James Corden. She hopes her rendition of “Heal the World” will help her mission to spread joy to others.

“We’re so grateful Candace Payne is using her platform to raise awareness for those in need,” says Hal Donaldson, president and co-founder of Convoy of Hope. “We look forward to partnering with her to help the impoverished and suffering all over the world.”
