Dr. Otto Placik, a board-certified plastic surgeon and labiaplasty specialist, has recently published a study on the effect of labiaplasty on sexual sensitivity on PRSJournal.com. The findings of the study have strongly indicated that the common perception of labiaplasty’s effects on sexual sensitivity is largely unfounded. Dr. Placik’s research reveal that the procedure does not diminish sensitivity and correlates with increased strength in climax and improved orgasm frequency.

Before Dr. Placik’s study, prevailing beliefs have been that while labiaplasty improves the aesthetic contours of the inner or outer labia through the use of enhancement or reduction techniques, the procedure’s benefit was offset by an alleged reduction in sexual sensitivity. Dr. Placik, a plastic surgeon who has performed over 500 labiaplasty procedures, has had no experience with patients reporting any such loss in sensitivity, so he developed a study to confirm the anecdotal evidence suggesting that not only is there no loss in sensitivity, but that patients frequently experience improvements in overall sexual satisfaction.

Study subjects were evaluated according to the results of sensitivity testing performed two weeks after the elective labiaplasty procedure and then again after periods of three, six and 12 months. The subjects were also asked to complete a Sexual Function Questionnaire at similar postoperative intervals of three, six and 12 months. The results of these evaluative measures revealed study participants actually experienced an increase in labia sensitivity six months following the procedure, and over 35 percent of participants reported increases in both orgasm strength and frequency after the same period of time.

These results directly contradict the belief commonly espoused by those who denigrate the procedure by referring to the resection method used as a part of the study as the “amputation method,” claiming that nerve damage is an unavoidable consequence of labiaplasty. Dr. Placik’s published study demonstrates this belief is unfounded and that the procedure yields benefits beyond just cosmetic enhancement. For the many women who feel sensitive about the appearance of the most prominently visible part of their sexual anatomy, the findings of this study should be quite a pleasing development.

Dr. Clifford James, Pediatrician, is proud to announce the release of his informative book entitled “A First Time Parent’s Survival Guide: A How-to Manual for the First Two Years.” The book was written as a response to many new parents who ask “Why don’t babies come with a how-to manual?” The book comes in paperback or Kindle edition and is sold through Amazon.com

The book is user-friendly and filled with all the facts that first-time parents need to know. The author often noted that other parenting books were more likely to scare parents than to help them.  The structure of the book is centered on the regular visits, which are scheduled with the doctor. There are no textbook-type discussions. Instead, Dr. James provides a combination of knowledge, cartoons, sarcasm, and humor.

Dr. James draws on his fifteen years of pediatric practice to offer insights on hilarious telephone calls, parents, and children with poor behavior, his medical knowledge and his personal experience as the father of three children. Many of the questions that new parents ask are included in the survival guide. It takes a lighthearted approach, without sacrificing reliable information.

Dr. Clifford James spoke to an interviewer recently, “All too often, we as doctors and parents spend our time concentrating on the work and difficulties of being a parent and miss the fact that our children are a tremendous source of joy and humor. I hope my book allows you to enjoy your children and have fun with them.”

For readers who appreciate the approach and humorous writings of Dr. Clifford, a new website http://www.helpmommy.com will be launched in 2016. He is also the founder of http://www.pedvaccines.com

In the mind of Chinese people, the evaluation from Internet is on behalf of public awareness and the evaluation from government and academic assosiations is more credible. But now it is changing since Chinese-born Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015. Although working in China’s largest Medicine Research Institute, Tu Youyou did not received the highest honor for scientists in China.

Another very influcencial chinese medical scholar – China diabetologist Dr. Nie Wentao, is totally engaged in the develpment of techonology and marketing. However, both are in the spotlight on internet media. Some analysis on the influence of China’s scientists on Netnews is conducted and precisely evaluated that Tu Youyou is the first influencial Chinese scientist on internet.   

Early in 2012, Zhang Tianpei of Journalism School at Renmin Uninversity of China, carried out an evaluation or influence analysis on Chinese scientists on Internet and concluded that there are thirty five China scientists who received widely attention on Internet. Zhang listed Chinese pharmacist Tu Youyou, Polar scientist Wang Zipan,  Archaeological scientist Huang Wanbo, Mathematician Yang Le, Physicist Wang Lijun, Geoscientist Liu Jiaqi, Diabetes Scientist Nie Wentao, Physicist Pan Jianwei, Geoscientist Ding Zhongli, Urban planning expert Li Xun, IT expert Liu Haitao, Entomologist Wu Kongming,  Physicist Lin Junye and others. Here Tu Youyou’s Influence is ranked first.

In 2015, Chinese-born Tu Youyou was a joint winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering Artemisinin. Zhang Tianpei’s precise analysis has also been reported in many Chinese media websites. He designed a set of analysis methods for network news and these methods are proven effective.

Furthermore, from  this analysis of network news, people also see the value of network information. The way on evaluation of scientists will be changed after Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize.

Almost everyone experiences something about their body that makes them feel self conscious. This is partly as a result of a constant media barrage aiming to manipulate body image, and partly because of the inevitabilities of sedentary lifestyles and the aging process. Nevertheless, advances in science help us overcome new challenges every day, and Better Body HQ has discovered a new advance that can help women regain their confidence in themselves as never before. They have just published a new review of a vaginal tightening cream which they claim really works. 

The review (http://betterbodyhq.com/my-different-v-tight-gel-review/) assesses the products claims and active ingredients, before setting out to discover if it can meet those claims with appropriate usage. The review undertook the treatment themselves to eliminate the possibility of errors in reporting, and discovered that indeed, it fulfilled its promise for a woman who had undergone natural childbirth.

The review seems to provide an answer to a long answered search for creams that really work. In addition to reviewing creams, the site has also looked at complementary approaches including herbal supplements and kegel exercises design to rehabilitate muscles and tendons loosened during childbirth.

A spokesperson for Better Body HQ explained, “Vaginal looseness is something that affects millions of women around the world, especially those who have experienced vaginal childbirth, and many of them find the treatments available to be unsatisfactory. This is the first time that a product has come on the market offering to deliver exactly what women want, and actually doing it. Our reviewer was bowled over, and the 100% money back guarantee ensures there is no harm in trying. The cream offers near-instant effects, so individuals can begin enjoying the results right away, and feeling more like themselves again after the momentous and painful experience of childbirth.”

About Better Body HQ:

Better Body HQ is a website offering the latest and best information on improving parts of the body that make people feel self conscious. The website is regularly updated with independent reviews of the latest products designed to improve lives, build confidence, and give people the body they have always wanted.

TORONTO, Canada – HealthDoc.ca, a site that refers visitors to top-rated medical providers in local areas across Canada, announced today that it has published a new, comprehensive infographic on the state of health in Canada.  The infographic, which shows how many Canadians suffer from major health conditions such as asthma and diabetes, or who are exposed to risk factors such as second hand smoke, is intended to help build awareness about health care and open data amongst Canadians.

“This data is out there, but few people have been able to get an overview of the state of Canadian health until we put this infographic together,” said Wilson Shek of HealthDoc.ca. “We wanted to make health data more accessible.  People should be aware of how many Canadians are affected by illness and environmental risks that affect health.”

The data that supports the infographic was drawn from government sources, such as Health Canada, which is part of the Canadian government’s overall open data policy. The infographic contains many revealing bits of information, such as the fact that 2.4 million Canadians (about 8%) suffer from asthma, while a slightly lower number have mood disorders. The infographic also points out that about 4% of Canadians are exposed to second-hand cigarette smoke at home.  Almost 17% of Canadians are exposed to second-hand smoke in public.  “The idea is to make Canadians aware of health risks they face day to day,” Shek added. “The fact that almost one in five Canadians is breathing in tobacco smoke on an involuntary basis is a great example.”

HealthDoc.ca operates a large, searchable database of Canadian doctors and clinics.  Users can enter their city into the search engine and see local, top-rated healthcare providers.  The company plans to help patients experience a better healthcare system in Canada by making healthcare data and the entire network of healthcare providers more accessible. HealthDoc.ca plans to aggregate local health data for regions and neighborhoods across Canada in the coming months.

21 Oct, 2015 – Gene-Eden-VIR is a natural antiviral product proven to reduce viral symptoms in a post-marketing clinical study that followed FDA guidelines. To increase the awareness of the product, Lilac Corp. has decided to charge only $1.00 per bottle to customers who present a prescription from a qualified doctor. There is a limit of two bottles per prescription, per customer.

In September of 2013, the medical journal, Pharmacology & Pharmacy published the first clinical study on Gene-Eden-VIR. Since then, an increasing number of doctors have recommended Gene-Eden-VIR to their patients. To add to the number of doctors who recommend Gene-Eden-VIR, Lilac Corp. has decided to launch a $1.00 per bottle campaign. This campaign is designed to benefit individuals and educate doctors about the great benefits of using Gene-Eden-VIR.

We recommend that interested individuals take a copy of the clinical study to their doctors, and ask for a prescription. Individuals can print the study using the following link:

http://gene-eden-kill-virus.com/PP_Gene-Eden-VIR-is-Antiviral.pdf

How can an individual introduce Gene-Eden-VIR to his or her doctor?

The study showed that Gene-Eden-VIR safely and effectively reduces symptoms of viral infections. (See the journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, from August 12, 2013) (1).

The post-marketing clinical study found that “Gene-Eden-VIR is a safe and effective treatment against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).” (1)

“Once we recognized that doctors respond to the study by recommending Gene-Eden-VIR to their patients, we decided to help push the trend along by offering our product for the price of $1.00 against a written prescription.” – Mike Evans, Lilac Corp.

Why does Gene-Eden-VIR work?

Each ingredient of Gene-Eden-VIR was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent form of HPV, HSV, EBV, HCMV, and HCV (1).

ANN ARBOR, MI – 21 Oct, 2015 – Blaze Medical Devices, an Ann Arbor-based company developing novel blood analysis technologies, announced today that it has been awarded a $150,000 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in collaboration with University of Michigan Health System Center for Circulatory Support. The focus of this grant is to study damage to patients’ red blood cells (RBC) caused by left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), as measured by Blaze’s technology that profiles RBC mechanical fragility (MF).

Blaze’s RBC Mechanical Fragility (MF) testing technology offers a more precise metric of blood damage.  Current testing looks mainly at hemolysis (cell rupture) that occurs, whereas MF represents the remaining cells’ susceptibility to future rupture. Long known as a critical blood parameter, it has not yet had a standardized and commercially feasible means for routine testing. One area of applicability is in hemocompatibility testing for medical product research and development, including in both medical device and drug safety assessment.

Blaze has prototyped the first RBC MF testing system – the Fragilimeter™ – for use by medical device manufacturers, drug developers, and various clinical researchers. Commercial versions of the system could automate and standardize such testing, offer a range of stress parameters and types, and provide RBC fragility “profiles” for comprehensive characterization of MF.  While a fully integrated system is in development, Blaze’s staff currently utilizes the core technology “in house” for its studies as well as offering testing on a service basis.

The research use only system would address an estimated US market in excess of 200M.

This is Blaze’s second SBIR award overall. Last year, it received a Phase I SBIR from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate a separate application of its technology – pertaining to testing stored blood for transfusion.

“We’re pleased to have support from the FDA in the form of this grant. Our technology has the potential to provide a more sensitive metric of blood damage than standard hemolysis testing alone, as well as facilitate calibrations for those existing tests,” said Michael Tarasev, COO/CSO of Blaze.  Dr. Tarasev is a Principal Investigator (PI) on the SBIR, along with Dr. Francis Pagani of the University of Michigan. The work is being financially supported by the FDA, though this release does not necessarily represent official views of the FDA.

About Blaze Medical Devices

Blaze is an early stage company in Ann Arbor, MI, developing technology to facilitate comprehensive and standardized blood measurements – particularly for red blood cell (RBC) hemolysis and mechanical fragility (MF).  Blaze’s testing services and products offer profiling of RBC MF adaptable to various users’ needs, with applications in industrial and clinical research. Blaze also collaborates with leading institutions in evaluating various causes and treatments of blood damage, and to explore clinical potential of in vitro RBC properties in blood-banking/transfusion and diagnostics. 

Questions & Answers

Q. How will Blaze Medical products be used?

A. Blaze’s first market is the medical R&D industry (medical device and pharmaceutical companies) that needs to assess the hemocompatibility of products that interact with blood (both for regulatory and for internal R&D purposes). In some pharmaceutical applications, RBC MF analysis can be useful in assessing potential efficacy as well as safety. Clinical researchers are also interested to be early customers, to explore potential future applications of the technology in various areas such as transfusion medicine or disease diagnosis/management.

Q. What are the consequences of not having this new level of information?

A. Current hemolysis testing does not account for RBCs that were “partially” damaged (i.e., not to the point of membrane rupture). Cells with such “sub-lethal” damage nevertheless may not survive in circulation, and thus represent a well-known health hazard.  FDA acknowledges that there is a need for better ways to assess blood damage beyond current hemolysis tests alone.

Q. How is the University of Michigan involved?

A. We are very fortunate to have Dr. Pagani as a PI on the study.  The Center for Circulatory Support (VAD Program), under his direction, is one of the most recognized and well-respected programs in the nation.  His research focuses on the use of mechanical circulatory support in the treatment of end-stage heart disease and use of stem cell transplantation for myocardial regeneration. Blaze rents its lab space from the University, which has conveniently facilitated certain collaborations such as this joint project.

Q. What’s the market size for your blood cell testing device?

A. This initial market is estimated to be in excess of $200 Million (including academic institutions). There is no regulatory barrier to entry for such research-use-only systems.  As a first mover in meeting the need for integrated and standardized RBC MF profiling, Blaze has the opportunity to become the standard for industrial R&D applications.  We also have potential clinical applications for the technology, to follow later.
