<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Acupressure Institute instructor, Tom Sherman will participate in AIDS/Lifecycle Ride to end AIDS</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) May 17, 2012 </p>
<p> The Acupressure Institute, a Bay Area massage therapy school that provides Acupressure training, is proud to announce that one of its instructors,  Tom Sherman, will participate in the AIDS/Lifecycle Ride to End AIDS.  From June 3 to June 9, Sherman will ride a bike from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The cause is close to the heart for both the Acupressure Institute and instructor Sherman, who is HIV-positive. Sherman teaches Skin Brushing, Chakra Applications and his signature class – Acupressure for HIV/AIDs.  The Acupressure Institute has donated $  50 in support of Sherman’s ride, and will donate an additional dollar for every new student who joins a class this month.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“With your help, I&#8217;ll be putting money into two major California HIV/AIDS organizations to help continue their important work,” Sherman wrote in an open letter. “With funding for all safety net programs, including HIV/AIDS, in constant jeopardy, raising private funding is more important than ever. With 21 percent of the estimated 1.1 million Americans currently living with HIV undiagnosed, the future needs of this population group will be great. The AIDS crisis is far from over.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“The ride also expresses my gratitude for the health and vitality that allows me to take on this endurance athletic event at age 62. Hopefully my participation serves as a role model to those living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic, life-threatening illnesses. They, too, can manage their conditions and live in a high state of wellness. I hope my effort also inspires and motivates other elders to start, maintain or increase their exercise programs and be increasingly mindful of healthy nutrition and daily self-care.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>For more information about donating or about any of Acupressure Institute’s products or services, call 510-845-1059, view the massage therapy certification school on the Web at http://www.acupressureinstitute.com or 1533 Shattuck Ave. in Berkeley.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About The Acupressure Institute</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Since 1976, the Bay Area’s Acupressure Institute has offered comprehensive Acupressure trainings in traditional Asian Bodywork Therapy modalities, such as Chinese Meridian Massage (Tui Na) and Shiatsu Massage. The Acupressure Institute also teaches Ren Shen (Jin Shin in Japanese), &#8220;Compassionate Spirit,” a form of hands-on healing energy work. The Acupressure Institute has trained thousands of students from all around the world. Its trainings provide high-quality education supporting each student&#8217;s educational goals in a setting that encourages communication, respect, confidentiality and safety for all.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 10, 2012 </p>
<p> VitalMax Vitamins, a worldwide vitamin and supplement company, relates their calcium supplement OsteoShield  is the most complete bone building formula available today. It not only contains calcium, but isoflavones, magnesium, zinc, boron and horsetail herb extract, as well as vitamin K and vitamin D, in optimal doses.    </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>VitalMax Vitamins states that due to modern lifestyles, older men and women may not be getting enough calcium from their diets alone.  They likely need a calcium supplement to ensure against bone loss and broken bones. In fact, recent research has shown that 77% of orthopedic trauma patients with bone fractures have been shown to be deficient in Vitamin D and other bone-building nutrients.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mark Bromson, M.D., one of VitalMax Vitamin&#8217;s medical experts, says &#8220;As an orthopedic doctor I can assure you I know a lot about bone health.  Each year millions of people will suffer with broken bones, as a result of this disorder&#8230;and many more will endure hip fractures.  Once you see the high-powered effective ingredients in this formula you&#8217;ll understand why I consider OsteoShield to be the ultimate bone-building complex you can take to ward off fractures and increase bone density.&#8221;</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Newport Beach, California (PRWEB) May 06, 2012 </p>
<p> Shohet Ear Associates is proud to present the Lyric, an extended wear hearing device that can be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for months at a time. Because it sits completely in the ear canal, it is 100% invisible and cannot be seen when worn. Previously, only 42 percent of patients could be fit with the device due to the size or shape of the ear canal. The new Lyric devices come in a range of sizes, from extra small to extra large. With the new sizing, three out of four people will be able to wear a Lyric, depending on their type of hearing loss. </p>

<p>Because Lyric is placed deep in the ear canal, it helps deliver exceptional sound quality in both quiet and noisy environments.  Lyric uses the outer ear to naturally direct sound into the ear canal without the need for multiple channels or settings.  The placement of Lyric reduces or eliminates the plugged up feeling and the echo or hollowness that some people experience when they speak while wearing a hearing aid.  In addition, feedback (the high pitched squeal) is significantly reduced or eliminated.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Patients find unparalleled convenience because there are no batteries to change and no repairs needed.  Lyric provides effortless hearing during daily activities such as exercising, talking on the phone, showering, and even sleeping. When the battery is depleted wearers return to the office and have a new device inserted in the ear. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Shohet Ear Associates was the first practice in Orange County and the second in Southern California to offer Lyric to patients. Shohet Ear Associates is compiling a waiting list of patients who would like to be sized and fit with the new Lyric. To be put on the waiting list or to obtain more information, call (949) 631-HEAR.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Shohet Ear Associates is Orange County’s most comprehensive resource for all medical needs of the ear. It is the only practice where patients can be treated with every medical and surgical treatment for hearing loss to ensure they have the widest range of options on the market to restore hearing.  The practice is an acknowledged leader in offering the latest breakthrough technologies to patients as new advancements reach the marketplace. The practice has two locations: 446 Old Newport Blvd. in Newport Beach and 10861 Cherry St., Ste. 303 in Los Alamitos, across from Los Alamitos Medical Center. Both offices offer one of the broadest arrays of hearing treatments in Orange County so patients are sure to have the maximum number of hearing device options available when shopping for a hearing device. </p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Thornwood, NY (PRWEB) April 27, 2012 </p>
<p> Jared DiCarmine an expert personal trainer known throughout the country has just released a brand new video and article detailing specific ways for people on how to get rid of love handles. This video and article deals with the exact science and certain key elements that someone must adhere too if they want to lose the stubborn fat that is around their navel and oblique, abdominal region.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This region where people want to lose belly fat is really hard to get rid of because of numerous factors according to DiCarmine and a lot of traditional weight loss methods will not work in helping someone achieve the flat stomach and toned abs that they are looking for. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>One of these key principles according to Jared is the use of EPOC inducing workouts which stands for excess post oxygen consumption. These types of workouts have been found to elevate one’s metabolism for hours on end after they have ceased exercising. The sad thing, according to DiCarmine is that the increase in EPOC will not happen through the use of regular, slow, boring cardiovascular activities. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>So if someone wants to learn how to get rid of love handles, they must start doing more intense workouts such as metabolic resistance training workouts which have been found to really increase one’s EPOC levels for a few hours after they have finished their workout. Overtime, this can lead up to many pounds of fat loss that would have never happened before if they kept up with steady-state training such as jogging on a treadmill or an elliptical. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Another key element is diet if someone wants to learn the proper way on how to get rid of love handles. Diet, as well as certain exercises for love handles are key and acts as a one, two, punch to this stubborn fat area. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>According to DiCarmine, the combination of his “strategic over-feeding” principle and certain abdominal sculpting exercises will greatly enhance one’s chances of finally melting off the stubborn adipocyte tissue around the waistline.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Emergency Preparedness &#8220;Get Out of Dodge&#8221; eBook AbsoluteRights.com</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 21, 2012 </p>
<p> A recent AbsoluteRights.com article said even if the sun is shining and the sky is clear, it is still a good idea to practice emergencies preparedness strategies. The weather can turn quickly without warning, and the most technologically-advanced meteorological equipment can’t stop a severe storm from hitting. A preparedness guide is needed to have a reliable plan of action in case of a disaster, said the article.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The “Get Out Of Dodge” Special Report was published by Absolute Rights and covers a wide variety of disasters, checklists, and survival kits that should be prepared to survive many different kinds of crisis or emergency situations. The article said that using the Special Report for emergencies preparedness is a good idea.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The article said any emergency preparedness plans that have been made can be a great benefit, especially if power or water is unavailable. Areas affected by storms often lose essential elements to everyday life. The article said that can make recovery even more difficult.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Planning for these types of weather emergencies must be done in advance, so people will not be caught unaware and in a state of panic. In certain circumstances, it can mean the difference in surviving or not. There are different levels of preparation, and the article said this is where a well thought out emergency preparedness list can increase the chances of surviving the crisis situation.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>There are different types of crisis and emergency situations to prepare for, but most of the elements of emergency preparedness are the same. Some minor differences can help protect against specific types of disasters. For example, anywhere it gets cold, blankets and warm clothes are imperative in an emergency survival strategy, whereas in the far south people would probably not need these items. The article said that knowing what kind of disasters are the most common in a particular area can help preparation efforts tenfold.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Get Out Of Dodge” includes information on evacuating when necessary, or surviving in place after a disaster. A full seven pages are devoted to survival packs, or G.O.O.D.I.E. (Get Out Of Dodge Immediately and Efficiently) bags, as the Special Report calls them. The exercises will help people establish the priority items that need to be packed and can be used to survive for up to 72 hours. The article said the G.O.O.D.I.E. bag information alone could be enough to save lives, as long as it is taken seriously.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>AbsoluteRights.com informs patriotic Americans on their given rights and helps them claim and protect those rights from government intrusion. Most importantly, it prides itself on alerting people when their rights are being threatened, creating an active and informed community.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>When the effects of a hurricane or tornado are seen on TV, people think it’s horrible but never realize the true horror of living through it. The article said to take every precaution necessary to develop emergencies preparedness measures and ensure survival in a disaster.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 15, 2012 </p>
<p> The Seed Production industry consists of large corporations that develop and supply genetically modified (GM) seeds to corn, soybean and cotton farmers. GM seeds allow farmers to enjoy larger harvests, since the crops they grow are better adapted to the environment. During the five years to 2012, the federal government enacted the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Nikoleta Panteva, “these acts created demand for ethanol and other renewable fuels, driving the most significant industry growth.” In 2007, revenue jumped 16.4%, supporting the five-year average increase of 8.7% from 2007 to 2012.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Global weather conditions in 2010 and 2011 also pushed revenue upward. Shortages of key commodities like wheat and cotton drove the price of these crops up and increased the world&#8217;s reliance on US farmers. Demand for seeds also rose, pushing industry revenue up. The lingering high prices and demand are expected to support revenue growth of 10.5% in 2012 to reach $  12.3 billion by the end of the year. Further, Panteva says that “market share concentration is expected to increase as an ongoing pattern of merger and acquisition activity continues.” For example, industry leader Monsanto acquired seven companies for its seed operations between 2007 and 2009, including Delta and Pine Land Company, De Ruiter, Cristiani, Agroeste, Aly Participacoes and WestBred. Likewise, in 2010, Syngenta acquired US-based Golden Harvest and Garst seed businesses as well as Maribo Seed International ApS and a field station in Chile to support development projects in its seeds division.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Going forward, the Seed Production industry can expect a more subdued growth pattern. GM crops are largely the norm, with about 90.0% of planted acreage of corn, cotton and soybeans containing GM seeds. Additionally, the rising popularity of organic farming will likely create some roadblocks for seed developing companies. Farmers who grow organic crops do not typically purchase their seeds from suppliers, but they reuse their own after each growing season. Still, federal mandates for increased ethanol production will likely keep industry revenue growing over the five years to 2017. </p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Susquehanna Health Cardiologist Dr. Donald Nardone</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Williamsport, PA (PRWEB) April 13, 2012 </p>
<p> Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the number one cause of death for both men and women. Individuals who experience a heart attack or fail a stress test often require a heart catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) angioplasty. Three Susquehanna Health cardiologists, Dr. Donald Nardone, Dr. Christopher Tobiasz and Dr. Robert Trautwein, now perform a transradial catheterization that is more comfortable for the patient and requires less recovery time.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>During the catheterization, a catheter is inserted through an artery in order to visualize the coronary arteries, to determine the extent of blockage and to perform treatment such as angioplasty. Traditionally, the procedure is performed through the femoral artery located in the groin area. The transradial catheterization provides access to the heart through the radial artery in the wrist. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Dr. Nardone has been using the transradial approach since 2010. Before the transradial approach is performed in the cardiac catheterization lab of Susquehanna Health’s Heart &amp; Vascular Institute, a patient is screened using the Allen’s test to determine whether there is adequate blood flow in the radial and ulner arteries. The access area, located behind the thumb just above the crease of the wrist, is numbed with Novocaine. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Next, an introducer sheath (a hollow plastic tube) is inserted into the radial artery, and the patient is given medication to prevent the artery from going into spasm during the procedure because this inhibits the insertion of the catheter. The catheter is then threaded through the arm and to the heart. At this point, the heart catheterization is performed in the same manner as the femoral approach by injecting X-ray contrast into the coronary arteries. Angioplasty can also be performed using the transradial approach. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>As the procedure is completed, a band (referred to as a TR band), is placed over the patient’s wrist and filled with air to compress the area without blocking the radial artery. This band helps control bleeding and enables the patient to move around more freely soon after the catheterization. The femoral approach, in contrast, requires a patient lie flat for one to six hours throughout the catheterization and recovery. “Since the patient can ambulate sooner, the stay can be shorter and the patient can be discharged earlier,” says Dr. Nardone. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“The advantages of the transradial catheterization are twofold: patient comfort and earlier ambulation,” says Dr. Nardone. In addition, the transradial approach increases patient safety because it reduces the chance of more serious and life-threatening bleeding after the procedure. Unlike the femoral approach, there is less area for internal bleeding to go undetected. Typically, when a patient has experienced both the femoral and transradial approaches they request the transradial approach for their next cardiac catheterization, according to Dr. Nardone.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Data indicates that the transradial catheterization is more common in Europe and Asia and steadily becoming more adopted worldwide. The United States, however, has been slower in adopting this approach—but, interest is increasing. According to Dr. Nardone, not long ago fewer than 10 percent of heart catheterizations performed in the U.S. use the transradial approach. “It’s kind of unique that in this part of Pennsylvania, there are actually many more doctors performing transradial catheterizations than in other parts of the country,” says Dr. Nardone. He attributes slow adoption of the procedure in the U.S. to the higher comfort level cardiologist have with the femoral approach, since that is how most were trained.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“From a personal and professional point of view,” says Dr. Nardone, “I’m glad that we offer the transradial approach to patients.” Dr. Nardone is board certified in cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology. He is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography. </p>
