Former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson, Visits Dr. Howard Zucker’s ‘Docology’ Podcast on July 14

NEW YORK, N.Y., July 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson will join host Dr. Howard Zucker for an upcoming episode of the viewer-interactive podcast, “Docology,” on Monday, July 14, 2025 at 1 p.m. ET, HANG Media announced today.

Dr. Zucker is a renowned public health leader who served under Thompson during the George W. Bush Administration and went on to become a top official of the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, and New York State Health Commissioner. In March, he launched “Docology,” a video podcast delivering the most reliable, proven medical information while sounding early warnings about impending public health problems.

Zucker teams with former CNN/US president Jon Klein’s HANG Media to introduce a new twist to the popular podcast format: audience participation.

The show illuminates today’s most pressing health challenges, including the explosion of measles deaths, vaccine safety, avian flu, water fluoridation and the safety of weight loss drugs, and more.

“There is more anxiety and concern around health than ever before,” said Zucker, a board-certified pediatrician, anesthesiologist, cardiologist, and intensive care specialist – as well as a lawyer. “The best cure for confusion is unbiased information, which we deliver directly to our Docology viewers. In return, they share their experiences and questions. While a practicing physician, I learned the importance of listening to the patient. That’s why Docology makes patients part of the show.”

“The unique communal experiences that HANG Media creates have enabled tens of millions of people around the world to speak face to face with top celebrities, athletes, and thought leaders,” said Klein, HANG co-founder and CEO. “We are delighted to partner with someone of Howard’s stature to apply our AI-driven media technology in service of better health for everyone.”

Frank Residences Partners with the Alzheimer’s Association

July 10 Workshop Offers Tools, Connection Strategies, and Research Insights for Families Navigating Caring for Someone with Dementia

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 1, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Frank Residences, a non-profit senior living community known for its integrated memory care, is partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association to host a “Care for the Caregiver” Workshop on Thursday, July 10, from 4 to 5 p.m. at One Avalon Avenue, San Francisco.

Frank Residences, part of the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living
Image caption: Frank Residences, part of the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living.

The free event is designed to support family caregivers who are navigating the emotional and practical complexities of dementia. Attendees will gain effective tools for managing stress, hear about memory care options available at Frank Residences, and learn about the latest advancements in dementia research.

“This partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association reflects our shared mission to support both those living with dementia and the families who love them,” said Rob Sarison, executive director at Frank Residences. “No one should feel alone on this journey.”

Amy LaGrant, sales director and gerontologist at Frank Residences, will open the workshop with her TED Talk and share personal insights on maintaining connections through cognitive decline. Drawing from her own experience, including the story of creating a pretend business with her father as a way to foster purpose and engagement, LaGrant will illustrate how empathy and creativity can transform the caregiving journey.

Workshop Highlights:

  • Opening remarks by Amy LaGrant, sales director and gerontologist with Frank Residences
  • Emotional resilience tools and stress-reduction strategies for caregivers
  • Updates on Alzheimer’s research and care innovations
  • Overview of the integrated memory care model and newly expanded capacity

Memory Care That Feels Like Family

Frank Residences’ hallmark approach is integrated, inclusive, and relationship-centered. Memory care residents are not separated from the broader community; they participate in campus-wide activities and live in beautifully designed residences that feel like home.

This model is especially meaningful for couples navigating different levels of care. Frank Residences offers families a rare opportunity to remain under one roof—sometimes just across the hall from one another—without sacrificing elegance, dignity, or connection.

“This allows for spouses to commingle and be close by; in most other communities, they are in separate buildings, and it can be hard to be there every day,” added Sarison. “That kind of closeness brings peace of mind that’s hard to find elsewhere.”

EVENT DETAILS
Care for the Caregiver Workshop
Date:
Thursday, July 10, 2025
Time: 4-5 p.m.
Location: Frank Residences, One Avalon Ave., San Francisco

Announcing The World Fertility Awards: Celebrating Global Change Agents Advancing Fertility Awareness, Innovation, and Inclusion

This event recognizes the people supporting the future of fertility in three areas: Access & Awareness, Innovation & Technology, and Equity & Inclusion

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 17, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Pregnantish, the first global media platform dedicated to helping people navigate their fertility, announces the inaugural World Fertility Awards at The Times Center in New York City in December. Award nominations are now open at worldfertilityawards.com and will be accepted until August 1, 2025.

Pregnantish World Fertility Awards
Image caption: Announcing The World Fertility Awards.

The World Fertility Awards (WFAs), produced by pregnantish, will convene patients, advocates, medical professionals, public personalities, social influencers, media outlets, industry representatives, and digital health leaders working together to transform the future of family building around the world by celebrating progress and fostering momentum to advance fertility awareness, access, and care. Supported by host committees across seven global regions, the WFAs will reach millions of people worldwide who are struggling to conceive and/or can’t access necessary treatment to build their families.

“At least 1 in 6 are experiencing infertility globally, according to the World Health Organization – and that’s just what’s reported,” says Andrea Syrtash, Relationships Author and Founder of pregnantish and the WFAs. “With a global decline in fertility happening and dystopian fertility headlines trending in the news, the World Fertility Awards were conceived to raise awareness about infertility, recognize the heroes who develop life-changing healthcare, and amplify the stories of fertility and modern family-building.”

Pregnantish is uniquely positioned to host this event, having reached over one billion globally since inception with high quality content, sold-out live events, scientifically published research on the patient journey, and education that’s helped support patients and providers as they work together to build families with the help of Assisted Reproductive Technology.

This event recognizes the people supporting the future of fertility in three areas: Access & Awareness, Innovation & Technology, and Equity & Inclusion.

The WFAs has the support of global ambassadors which includes thought leaders from medicine, advocacy, journalism, technology, finance, and entertainment sectors. Members include respected fertility specialists like Dr. Rodrigo De Rosa (Brazil), Dr. Prati Sharma (Canada), Dr. Lusanda Shimange-Matsose, (South Africa) and US advocates like Sarah Kennedy Ellis, VP at Google, David Sable, Life Sciences Portfolio Manager, Eboni K. Williams, TV Host & Author, and Elizabeth Jordan Carr, the first U.S. IVF baby.

Dr. Lucky Sekhon, co-chair of the US Host Committee and Infertility Specialist at RMA of New York — a practice within the US Fertility network, who is a sponsor of the event — shares: “The World Fertility Awards are a recognition of the human stories and groundbreaking science that shape the field of reproductive medicine. Amplifying these voices is deeply meaningful because it reflects our shared commitment to innovation, collaboration, and equitable access to care.”

Dr. Prateek Makwana, Director at Vasundhara Hospital and Co-Chair of the South Asia Host Committee notes, “Infertility is on the rise in India. While people now seek medical opinion relatively quickly when trying to conceive, there is still a huge gap in how society sees and portrays infertility. The WFAs help with recognising people and amplifying real voices, breaking cultural taboos, and inspiring open conversations.”

Gretchen Adcock, Head of Sales at Lending Club Patient Solutions, felt that it was important to support an event showing the need for people to access fertility treatments: “Navigating treatment costs can be overwhelming, we know, and I’m glad to work for a company that offers budget-friendly plans and a straightforward application process. People shouldn’t delay treatment because of cost; but sadly that’s a reality for some in the US today.”

Ola Taiwo, host of Africa’s first fertility podcast and Co-Chair of the Africa Host Committee, says, “In Nigeria, infertility is often misunderstood—especially for women. It’s time to break the silence, challenge the shame, and recognize infertility for what it truly is: a medical condition, not a moral failure. We need more awareness, access, empathy, and support—and a complete shift in how we talk about it.”

Volunteers Donate More Than 10,000 Hours at Lutheran Home: Community Invited to Celebrate at Summer Auxiliary Sale on June 20

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., June 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a powerful display of generosity and community spirit, the Lutheran Home in Arlington Heights is honoring a remarkable milestone: More than 10,310 hours of volunteer service were logged between April 1, 2024, and April 1, 2025. These contributions reflect the deep commitment of individuals from across the region who dedicate their time and talents to support residents and staff at this long-standing senior living community.

Lutheran Home
Image caption: Lutheran Home in Arlington Heights.

To celebrate this extraordinary achievement, Lutheran Home is hosting its Summer Auxiliary Sale on Friday, June 20, an event open to the public that helps fund essential programs for residents and celebrates the volunteers who make them possible.

Volunteers at Lutheran Home perform a wide range of roles, many of them behind the scenes, but all crucial to the well-being of the community’s residents. Their impact extends from spiritual care and emotional support to daily logistics and vocational mentoring.

Lutheran Home also benefits from volunteers who form one-on-one relationships with residents, offering companionship and emotional connection, especially valuable for those without nearby family.

Some serve as Ministers of Care, visiting twice weekly to distribute Catholic communion to residents. Others offer pastoral clerical support, welcoming new residents with information about spiritual services or assisting with preparing and printing weekly worship bulletins.

Volunteer transport teams help bring residents to and from Wednesday and Sunday services, and even some residents themselves contribute as Sunday readers, helping foster a sense of spiritual community.

In addition, activity volunteers support everything from games and weekly events to escorting residents to clinics or the on-site beauty salon. Volunteers also staff the General Store, keeping it open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. daily.

Building Skills and Purpose with District 214

A particularly inspiring aspect of the volunteer program involves transitional students from High School District 214. These young adults, who have special needs and are between graduation and age 21, participate in a vocational readiness initiative. At Lutheran Home, they develop workplace skills by helping with laundry, mail sorting, table bussing, wheelchair washing and assembling admission packets.

“This is more than just a service—it’s a meaningful training experience that sets these students up for future success,” said Jennifer Darnell, VP of Sales & Marketing at Lutheran Life Communities.

An Invitation to Celebrate

The Summer Auxiliary Sale on June 20 is not just a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of kindness, dedication and community. Shoppers will find seasonal treasures, with all proceeds supporting Lutheran Home’s Benevolent Care Program, which assists residents who exhaust their financial resources through no fault of their own.

“We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the individuals who walk through our doors every week, donating their time out of love and a deep sense of purpose,” said Barbara Morton, PhD, president of the Lutheran Home Auxiliary. “The Summer Auxiliary Sale is our way of honoring their incredible spirit and welcoming the community to be part of something truly special.”

About Lutheran Home
Lutheran Home is part of Lutheran Life Communities, a faith-based 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded over 130 years ago that supports Arlington Heights with a full spectrum of care and services. Recognized on Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025 list, they offer assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, an adult day club, inpatient and outpatient rehab, home care services, move management services and Shepherd’s Flock Child Care and Preschool and Jenny’s Bistro, which is open to the public and serves gourmet food and beverages.

Lutheran Home invests in a full, robust continuum of care that can address early dementia and mild cognitive impairment with stage-form care supportive services and residential solutions like MyTapestry memory support. The memory support programming extends through end of life with care provided by a care team trained in dementia. It’s Grace-Filled living.

New Joint and Spine Clinic to Open on Lutheran Home Campus in Arlington Heights

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., May 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Lutheran Home announced the opening of a new Joint and Spine Clinic on its campus, adding to the full spectrum of care and services conveniently offered. The clinic opens in June and provides innovative and interventional treatments for musculoskeletal pain. This first-of-its-kind clinic within a senior living community will offer both evaluations and treatments, eliminating the need for hospital visits for many procedures.

New Joint and Spine Clinic to Open on Lutheran Home Campus in Arlington Heights
Image caption: New Joint and Spine Clinic opens next week on the Lutheran Home Campus in Arlington Heights.

Led by esteemed physicians Dr. Sajjad Murtaza and Dr. Akash Jindal, the clinic will serve the residents of Lutheran Home as well as the broader Arlington Heights community. Dr. Murtaza, a double board-certified specialist in sports medicine and interventional pain, has a long-standing presence in the northwest Chicago area and helped establish the Spine Center at Northwest Community Hospital.

Lutheran Home’s many services help residents with a full spectrum of care and services, including its MyRehab, which offers outpatient and short-term rehabilitation therapy. The new Joint and Spine clinic will work cooperatively with MyRehab, providing treatments in a light-filled environment that features private suites, a state-of-the-art therapy gym, atrium spaces, spacious living rooms and bistro-style dining.

“This clinic is designed to optimize therapy and work closely with the MyRehab physical therapy suite to provide customized, post-treatment plans,” said Dr. Murtaza. “We want to educate the community on pain management options and introduce them to treatments that can significantly improve their quality of life.”

The Joint and Spine Clinic will focus on identifying pain generators and addressing the root causes of pain through non-surgical, interventional medicine. The clinic will not offer opioids or chiropractic care but will instead provide advanced procedures such as diagnostic injections, EMG imaging and therapeutic interventions for spine and joint conditions. While imaging such as MRIs will be conducted at local hospitals, many treatments, including injections, will be available on-site.

“This new clinic is a perfect addition to our campus, offering residents and community members convenient access to outstanding doctors and cutting-edge treatments,” said Jennifer Darnell, VP of Sales & Marketing at Lutheran Life Communities. “We are happy to offer these innovative treatments to enhance the health and wellness of our residents, and having these services available on-site means they can conveniently receive expert care.”

SERVICES OFFERED AT THE JOINT AND SPINE CLINIC:

  • Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
  • Lumbar Diagnostic Medial Branch Blocks
  • Lumbar Facet Injection
  • Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation
  • Joint Injections (Hips, SI Joint, Shoulders and Knees)
  • EMG-NCV Test (Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Velocity)
  • Cervical Diagnostic Medial Branch Blocks
  • All procedures are done under fluoroscopic guidance.

Currently, 40% of patients at Dr. Murtaza’s other clinics are seniors who receive physical medicine and rehabilitation. With a majority of residents at Lutheran Home experiencing at least one spine or joint issue, this clinic aims to meet a significant need. By bringing treatment directly to the Lutheran Home campus, residents and community members will benefit from a local, convenient resource.

“We have found that most patients are not even aware or have never been educated on what treatments are available for their joint and spine pain and the great outcomes they can have,” said Dr. Murtaza. “We are looking forward to offering relief to Lutheran Home residents and to the community.”

The clinic will begin with limited hours, and accepts most private insurance plans and Medicare. Patients will also have access to convenient communication methods, including text-based appointment updates and a secure HIPAA-compliant system for submitting insurance information.

Appointments at the Joint and Spine Clinic can be made by calling 312-757-4647 or visiting our website at https://mipainchicago.com/.

On June 10, Dr. Murtaza will lead a presentation at Lutheran Home to explain how the Spine and Joint’s pain management physiatrists use evidence-based approaches to managing pain, enhancing mobility and improving your quality of life—all without the risks associated with narcotic medications.

His Daughters Health Launches to Empower Individuals and Families and Address Their Housing and Health Needs

Where Clinical Care Meets Community Wisdom, and Communities Heal, Thrive, and Rise

RIVERSIDE, Calif., May 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A seismic shift is underway in supporting individuals and families with complex needs, including homelessness, behavioral health challenges, and chronic medical conditions. His Daughters House proudly launches His Daughters Health, an integrated health and housing division redefining care and assistance in California. Our one-stop model prioritizes stability, health equity, and long-term outcomes, ensuring individuals and families receive coordinated, trauma-informed care that addresses immediate needs and builds lasting pathways to self-sufficiency.

HDH leaders are committed to empowering individuals and families by addressing their housing and health needs through innovative community-based solutions
Image caption: HDH leaders are committed to empowering individuals and families by addressing their housing and health needs through innovative community-based solutions.

His Daughters House was founded on a passionate desire to assist those experiencing homelessness in navigating through difficult times. Leaving behind corporate careers, they stepped into uncertainty with a bold vision: to create a place where healing wasn’t temporary, but transformative.

His Daughters Health is offering a one-stop resource by providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care, along with comprehensive programs to support the healing and well-being of those affected by homelessness. This is not just a program. It is a working model of real systems change in action.

His Daughters Health offers something innovative in the space of social services. It provides Medi-Cal services through a trauma-informed model led by Community Health Workers (CHWs) who come from the very communities they now serve. Additionally, programs like Housed to Heal, No Place Like Home, and the Nextgen Navigators Youth Program provide more than shelter. They offer a structured path from crisis to stability, ensuring that survivors and youth not only secure housing but also receive the support they need for long-term healing and independence.

“The launch of His Daughters Health is a major milestone in our efforts to not only help survivors escape violence but also empower them to rebuild their lives with dignity, stability, and hope,” said Dr. Adrianne L. Mason, CEO & Executive Director of His Daughters House.

“Our approach addresses the root causes of domestic violence, including housing insecurity, economic stress, and health disparities that disproportionately impact marginalized women.” said Tolia Terrell-Vernon, COO & Program Director of His Daughters House.

This moment is urgently needed. National data shows that Black women experience domestic violence at higher rates than any other group and are three times more likely to be experience death because of domestic violence. More than 81% of women survivors report chronic physical and mental health issues tied directly to trauma, and 38% of homeless women cite domestic violence as the immediate cause of losing their housing.

His Daughters Health is confronting these realities head-on. The organization’s health and resource fairs expand community access to CalAIM services, mental health support, and relevant health education. These events provide consistent outreach and connection for survivors who may not otherwise reach traditional systems of care.

KEY SERVICES INCLUDE:

  • Healing with Intentions DV Academy: An educational program focused on domestic violence prevention and life skills classes intended to help survivors heal, regain stability, and create a strong path forward.
  • CalAIM Services: Comprehensive health care and support services specialize in Enhanced Care Management (ECM), Community Support Services, and Community Health Worker (CHW) programs.
  • Housed to Heal Program: Housing assistance and case management to help those in need secure permanent housing, while helping them regain stability and achieve lasting self-sufficiency.
  • No Place Like Home: Provides homeless prevention to create safe, welcoming, and stable homes through rental assistance program, life skills training and community-building activities.
  • Nextgen Navigators Youth Program: A drop-in center and coordinated access point providing housing navigation, supportive services, and trauma-informed care for youth ages 24 and under experiencing or at risk of homelessness or fleeing domestic violence.

Redox Therapeutics Signs Exclusive License Agreement with The Curators of the University of Missouri to Create Filtration Technology to Address Healthcare and Environmental Needs

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Redox Therapeutics announces the signing of an exclusive license agreement with The Curators of the University of Missouri acting by and through the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) for a patented polymer nanoparticles technology designed for endotoxin removal from fluids such as water, protein solutions and plasma. Currently, it’s seeking partners in the healthcare and wastewater industries to bring this technology to the forefront of effective and affordable treatment for sepsis.

Redox Therapeutics logo
Image caption: Redox Therapeutics logo.

Sepsis is a leading cause of death. The World Health Organization reports that endotoxin is the main contributing factor in sepsis and septic shock, complex syndromes of multiorgan failure resulting in the annual death of more than 11 million people. And the Association of American Medical Colleges says that sepsis is the third leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals.

An abstract in the National Library of Medicine reports that despite all efforts of experimental and clinical research during the last three decades, the ability to positively influence course and outcome of the syndrome remains limited.

Redox Therapeutics is looking to close the therapeutic gap by developing a blood filtration system that features the licensed polymer nanoparticles, which proved to remove up to 100 percent endotoxin from water and protein solutions in experiments conducted at Missouri S&T and published in peer-reviewed industry journals.

It also seeks to address another area of global health concern – the presence of endotoxin in contaminated industrial and wastewater systems. The presence of endotoxin in food, water and manufactured biomedical drugs is a major concern for human health and safety.

Redox Therapeutics seeks to partner with water filtration industry leaders and implement the endotoxin removal technology in their product lines, so that it contributes to lowering the incidence of sepsis.

Leonard Neatu, MD, founder, president and CEO of Redox Therapeutics, says he’s excited to have the opportunity to license and bring to market this outstanding nanoparticle technology. He has more than 25 years of entrepreneurial experience in the healthcare industry and as an independent scientist is part of a collective effort to precipitate a major shift in understanding as it regards the human disease occurrence and healing process.

He adds that this technology is not only extremely effective in removing endotoxin, but it’s also cost-effective.

“We’re confident that this technology will help to save lives, many of them, and I’m grateful for having the opportunity to contribute to this prospect,” he says.

Kamal H. Khayat, Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation at Missouri S&T, looks forward to a long and successful relationship with Redox Therapeutics (Redox).

“S&T is thrilled to license this nanoparticle filtration technology to Redox so that its benefits can be used to help society,” he says.

About Redox Therapeutics, Inc.

Redox Therapeutics, Inc. is a biomedical technology startup company founded by Dr. Leonard Neatu, whose work is focused on the field of redox biology and its implications in the development and progression of diseases. The company’s mission is to translate the intellectual property, acquired over 10 years of integrative research, into the development and manufacturing of a series of filtration devices that aim to restore homeostasis in biological systems through complex and innovative treatments of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

About Missouri S&T

Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) is a STEM-focused research university of over 7,000 students located in Rolla, Missouri. Part of the four-campus University of Missouri System, Missouri S&T offers over 100 degrees in 40 areas of study and is among the nation’s top public universities for salary impact, according to the Wall Street Journal.

NEW YORK, N.Y., April 17, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — NY Mental Health Center (NYMHC) is proud to announce the expansion of its clinical offerings to include neuropsychological testing under the direction of licensed psychologist Dr. Ana Bahamonde. With this addition, NYMHC now offers a comprehensive suite of mental health services, including psychotherapy, psychiatry, and psychological assessment, all available via secure telehealth.

The launch of neuropsychological testing comes at a time when demand for accurate diagnoses of ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is at an all-time high.

“As a multidisciplinary team, we’ve always emphasized responsible, evidence-based care,” said Corry Prohens, Founder and Practice Director of NYMHC. “We do not prescribe medication for ADHD without a proper neuropsychological evaluation. Adding assessment services allows us to give our adolescent and adult clients the diagnostic clarity they deserve.”

Dr. Bahamonde brings over a decade of experience in clinical assessment and specializes in the evaluation of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning differences, and mood disorders. All testing is conducted remotely via telehealth, making these services accessible throughout the state of New York.

Clients seeking an ADHD evaluation can choose from two testing formats:

  • Brief ADHD Assessment (4 hours, $800): Includes a diagnostic letter summarizing findings and recommendations.
  • Comprehensive ADHD Assessment (8 hours, $1600): Includes a detailed, individualized report suitable for academic accommodations and other formal purposes.

Dr. Bahamonde also provides testing for Autism Spectrum Disorder, using gold-standard tools and clinical interviews to assess developmental history, social functioning, and communication.

While most insurance companies do not cover neuropsychological testing for ADHD or Autism, NYMHC may be able to submit claims for certain components of the evaluation, which could reduce the overall out-of-pocket cost. Clients are encouraged to contact our office to discuss potential insurance reimbursement options.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of these services,” said Prohens. “Assessment fills a critical gap in the mental health care journey. It empowers clients to move forward with confidence, whether that means exploring treatment options, seeking accommodations, or simply better understanding themselves.”

US Kidney Research Corp Advances Toward Implantable Artificial Kidney

Waterless technology can replace dialysis and transform kidney treatment

ROSEVILLE, Calif., March 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — US Kidney Research Corporation (USKRC) is creating the world’s first waterless blood purification device, a pioneering technology with the capability to replace traditional dialysis machines worldwide. A recent groundbreaking discovery in the design of the device’s ion transport system, a critical component responsible for removing excess ions from the bloodstream, restoring ion balance, and directing these excess elements to the urine, is significantly accelerating progress and bringing the device closer to completion.

University of Arkansas Lab - Device CAD Image
Image caption: University of Arkansas Lab – Device CAD Image.

The ion transport system plays a vital role in maintaining essential physiological functions. For individuals with kidney disease, the kidneys often fail to filter out excess ions such as sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, causing dangerous imbalances that can lead to serious health issues.

Reaching this milestone brings US Kidney Research Corporation closer to its ultimate goal of developing an implantable artificial kidney. A waterless device is crucial for the development of an implantable artificial kidney. Dialysis’s reliance on a constant water and dialysate supply makes miniaturization and implantation within the body impossible.

This achievement marks a historic milestone as the first successful development of a waterless ion transport system for a medical blood purification device, something that has never been accomplished before.

CEO Roland Ludlow stated, “Creating an ion transport system is an extremely complex scientific challenge. After years of research and extensive experimentation, our scientists have discovered the method needed to complete the task. Breaking through this barrier is a major leap forward.”

Waterless Advantages: In contrast to traditional dialysis systems that depend on water, disposable components like dialyzers and dialysate solutions, as well as a separate water purification infrastructure, the waterless blood purifying device eliminates the need for these costly items, offering significant savings for healthcare providers. Additionally, the device will incorporate innovative technology, such as real-time patient monitoring and precise control over electrolyte, urea, and fluid removal, ensuring greater accuracy and better outcomes for patients.

Ecological Benefits: The waterless blood purifying device addresses environmental challenges by reducing the carbon footprint. It will greatly reduce the billions of gallons of contaminated water generated by dialysis, minimize dialyzer plastic waste, and lower transport and energy costs associated with production.

MISSION & GOALS

US Kidney Research Corporation is dedicated to:

  • Completing its flagship waterless blood purifying device to replace outdated dialysis machines.
  • Developing an implantable artificial kidney using the same waterless technology.
  • Progressing several related renal care products currently in development.

EXPERT COLLABORATION

US Kidney Research Corporation’s innovations are backed by a distinguished research team from the University of Arkansas (UA) and Dr. Ira Kurtz, the Chief of Nephrology at UCLA, who serves as the Corporation’s science/medical advisor and active board member. Dr. Kurtz, a leading expert in kidney disease, works alongside Dr. Jamie Hestekin and the UA team to drive progress toward a viable, long-term solution for kidney disease patients.

ABOUT US:

US Kidney Research Corporation (USKRC) is at the forefront of artificial kidney research and development. Acknowledged by leading organizations such as the American Society of Nephrology (ASN), KidneyX, and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), USKRC is transforming the future of kidney care. By pioneering new standards in treatment, USKRC is bringing hope for a future beyond dialysis. Established in 2015, USKRC is registered as a C-Corporation in Delaware.

Zeteo Biomedical Introduces CygnusMR™ and CygnusSDX™ Delivery Devices for Nasal Administration of Dry Powder Drugs and Biologics

Innovative Needle-Free Nasal Powder Delivery Systems Enhance Drug and Vaccine Development

CEDAR PARK, Texas, Feb. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Zeteo Biomedical LLC today announced the launch of its ZTech-P CygnusMR™ and CygnusSDX™ delivery devices, designed for precise, metered-unit dosing of dry powder drugs and biologics via systemic nasal and nose-to-brain administration. These innovative needle-free delivery systems provide pharmaceutical and biotech companies with advanced solutions to accelerate the development, clinical evaluation, and commercial deployment of dry powder nasal combination products for a broad range of therapeutic applications.

Intranasal dry powder formulations offer significant advantages, including enhanced stability, extended shelf life, and improved bioavailability. Systemic nasal administration enables rapid, needle-free drug uptake, while nose-to-brain delivery bypasses the blood-brain barrier, allowing direct therapeutic access to the brain. The CygnusMR and CygnusSDX devices are designed for both patient self-administration and caregiver-assisted use, with configurations available for both adult and pediatric patients as well as a variety of animal species.

“The CygnusMR nasal delivery device is the industry’s first cartridge-reloadable nasal powder delivery system, featuring onboard storage for up to six unit doses and a replaceable nasal tip,” said Timothy Sullivan, CEO of Zeteo Biomedical. “Both the CygnusMR and CygnusSDX devices have undergone extensive analytical and in-vivo preclinical testing over the past several years to ensure optimal performance and reliability.”

Zeteo’s intranasal delivery devices leverage proprietary packaging technology that utilizes a Form Fill Seal (FFS) flexible foil blister system, eliminating the supply chain constraints associated with traditional drug packaging methods such as syringes and glass vials. This innovative approach provides superior protection for pharmaceuticals and biologics while allowing for storage under room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen conditions. The scalable ZTech FFS packaging platform enables the high-volume production of millions of doses per day—a critical capability for the rapid, cost-effective deployment of vaccines and medical countermeasures on a global scale.

Jenner’s Pond and University of Delaware Partner to Empower Seniors Through Interactive Healthcare Theatre Program

WEST GROVE, Pa., Feb. 18, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Jenner’s Pond, a vibrant Simpson senior living community on an 88-acre campus in West Grove, has forged a unique and impactful partnership with the University of Delaware’s highly-regarded Healthcare Theatre Program to bring engaging and informative communications and healthcare education to its residents.

Jenner's Pond - A Simpson Community
Image caption: Jenner’s Pond – A Simpson Community.

Launched in July 2024, this collaboration delivers critical health insights to residents through interactive theatre performances on-site. Held in Jenner’s Pond’s state-of-the-art auditorium, the program tackles essential health topics important to seniors, such as considerations for moving to a continuing care community, how to more effectively find resources to age in place, caregiver burnout, and resources to prevent it, as well as hearing loss and its impact on cognition and socialization. The performances are designed to be participative and engaging for the attendees.

The University of Delaware’s Healthcare Theatre program has existed for 15 years and is the only one of its kind in the country. The collaboration with Jenner’s Pond is successful because of its highly interactive nature and the residents’ willingness to participate. One benefit of this program is that it fosters innovation beyond the auditorium.

Mark Bendett, a resident of Jenner’s Pond and an Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Delaware, saw a Healthcare Theatre performance and recommended bringing it to the community. He is integral to coordinating the performance and topics at Jenner’s Pond. The program is highly interactive and employs a “freeze frame” style of performance, which allows the audience to actively participate in the production by sharing their viewpoints and suggestions for improvement by pausing the interaction at any moment in the performance.

“It’s a novel way of providing information to people in an entertaining and engaging manner,” Bendett said. “This initiative empowers residents by giving them tools and information on how to ask for help and find resources, especially for those in independent living who may hesitate to reach out.”

Brandon Logsdon, Acting Executive Director at Jenner’s Pond, highlighted the program’s value. “It feels like a game changer as we present medical information to the residents. A lot of times, our residents may be hesitant to ask for help and may regress as a result. This program helps us address those challenges early and provide actionable resources.”

Jenner’s Pond resident Ellie Paynter has attended the first two Healthcare Theatre events at Jenner’s Pond. These events occur quarterly and are complemented by a monthly University of Delaware speaker series. Paynter shared, “Getting older is a new experience, and the presentations are another aid in coping and learning what is available to ease the process.”

Allan Carlsen, Co-Founder and Director of Healthcare Theatre and Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Delaware, says, “Partnering with Jenner’s Pond allows us to bring healthcare education to life in a way that resonates with seniors.” He adds, “Our interactive approach not only supports residents but also helps us better train the next generation of healthcare professionals. We are proud to be one of the leading simulation programs in the country.”

According to the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, theatrical performance can be an effective educational tool for understanding medication experiences from the patient’s perspective. Additionally, presenting medical information in an entertaining and interactive format, as Healthcare Theatre does, can illuminate barriers in an engaging and non-threatening way that patients face and can, in turn, open up conversations and ultimately lead to better understanding.

About UD’s Healthcare Theatre:

Healthcare Theatre is a unique interdisciplinary education program at the University of Delaware that develops the communication skills necessary for current and future professionals through interactive scenarios presented by Healthcare Theatre students. With this transformative approach to education, students are trained to portray patients and family members so that health sciences students can practice both technical and interpersonal skills in a safe environment without compromising quality of care.

About Jenner’s Pond:

Jenner’s Pond, located in West Grove, PA, is a vibrant senior living community offering a range of services and living options for older adults. Focusing on engagement, wellness, and community, Jenner’s Pond provides residents with the support and resources they need to live fulfilling lives at every stage of aging.

Senior Communities Unite to Support Displaced Seniors After the Eaton Fire

LA VERNE, Calif., Jan. 23, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In a remarkable display of compassion and community spirit, Hillcrest, an age-qualified community in La Verne is showing what it means to be a good neighbor by helping seniors displaced by the devastating Eaton Fire. Hillcrest offered seniors housing and a chance to rebuild their lives with a new home. The fire destroyed The Terraces at Park Marino in Pasadena, leaving many residents, including those with significant health needs, without a place to call home.

Hillcrest, an age-qualified community in La Verne
Image caption: Hillcrest, an age-qualified community in La Verne.

Within just 24 hours of receiving a call for assistance from The Terraces at Park Marino, Hillcrest’s Director of Sales and Marketing, Shirley Turner, and her team mobilized to welcome eight new residents into their community. Hillcrest staff worked tirelessly around the clock to prepare fully furnished, move-in-ready apartments for the displaced residents.

“Our team’s immediate response reflects the heart of Hillcrest’s mission: to care for others in need,” said Turner. “The collaboration with The Terraces at Park Marino underscores the power of communities coming together in times of crisis.”

Hillcrest went above and beyond to ensure a warm and supportive transition for the new residents. Team members purchased essential items and furnished their new residences, while staff from food service and nursing care joined the residents for meals to extend a heartfelt welcome.

As part of their disaster response plan, Hillcrest made special accommodations by conducting personalized assessments to address each resident’s unique care needs. Hillcrest’s Resident Association is also working to provide each newly welcomed resident with a gift card so they may purchase their personal essential items.

Former Terrace residents now residing at Hillcrest, including Jennie Frederick and Oliver Meeker, share their personal stories of resilience and their experiences in their new home.

Meeker recalls seeing the fire “out my window coming down the hill and then coming across the fields, but I didn’t imagine it would be allowed to get to us. But with the wind, they just couldn’t handle it.” Upon arriving at Hillcrest, Meeker is getting settled. “This is a nice place. Nice food. I’m doing okay.”

Frederick remembers the warm welcome they received when arriving at Hillcrest. “When we got out, everybody – all the employees – even the ones that weren’t on duty, just came flying in and helped. It was really organized.” It was a relief as the seniors had spent about three days at the convention center and then we were taken to the Pico District in L.A., near Santa Monica. “We just had what was on our backs and a lot of us didn’t have our phones. I was one of the ones that didn’t have my phone. And we thought, hey, you know, we’re not in the fire, so we’re good to go. I was amazed at how organized the fire department, police department and everything was, working together to get us to safety.”

Stories of the evacuation include heroic acts during the fire, such as team members carrying residents out of the burning building and a bus driver who stayed with evacuees overnight to ensure their safety. “We didn’t know where the rest of the people went. We didn’t know where we were going. Our van driver brought us here, and she just told us we’re going to La Verne,” remembers Frederick.

“These acts of bravery and kindness remind us of the strength and humanity in our communities,” said Turner. “We are honored to be part of their journey toward recovery.”

The new Hillcrest residents, now located about 25 miles east of Pasadena, are finding comfort in their new environment, thanks to the unwavering support of both Hillcrest and The Terraces at Park Marino teams.

About Hillcrest:

Hillcrest is an upscale 501(c)(3) non-profit continuing care retirement community (CCRC) centrally located in the San Gabriel Valley, less than 30 minutes from Los Angeles, Anaheim, Pasadena and San Bernardino and located at the gateway to the Inland Empire.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 8, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Drawing from three decades of frontline experience and scholarly research, Ron Tiffen’s groundbreaking new book “Disability Crossroads” (ISBN: 978-0228892915) presents innovative solutions for the challenges facing Australia’s disability sector.

“Disability Crossroads” combines practical strategies with deep insights gained from Ron’s diverse career as a senior service manager, public guardian, researcher, and investigator. The book introduces three transformative frameworks: a collaborative model for family-provider partnerships, systematic approaches to protecting vulnerable individuals, and proven methods for dispute resolution.

What sets this work apart is its foundation in real experiences. Every strategy and recommendation emerges from extensive consultation with people with disabilities, their families, and service providers. The book offers concrete solutions that have been tested and refined through Ron’s pioneering work in Alternative Dispute Resolution.

“The disability sector stands at a critical juncture,” says Ron. “While recent reforms have delivered significant benefits, we must address current challenges through engagement-based cooperative effort. This book provides practical tools for creating positive change.”

Ron’s expertise stems from a distinguished career spanning child protection, policy development, and executive leadership in human services. As Regional Director of the Department of Human Services, he oversaw operations across disability services, mental health, public housing, and indigenous services, giving him unique insight into system-wide challenges and opportunities.

“Disability Crossroads” serves as an essential reference for:

  • Disability service providers seeking to enhance their operations
  • Policy makers working to strengthen support systems
  • Advocates focused on protecting vulnerable individuals
  • Families navigating disability services
  • Organizations looking to implement effective dispute resolution practices

The book’s frameworks and strategies have applications beyond the disability sector and offer valuable insights for human services reform globally.

Ron brings over 30 years of experience in human services, with particular expertise in Alternative Dispute Resolution and service improvement. His innovative approaches to complex problem-solving have revolutionized practices across the disability sector, leading to measurable improvements in service delivery and outcomes for people with disabilities.

“Disability Crossroads” is available at https://rontiffen.com/ and most online retailers.

ChagaRoot first opened its doors in September 2022 on the corner of Flamingo and Pecos as a casual dining restaurant focused on gourmet mushroom-based cuisine. Known for its diverse menu of burgers, tacos, salads, bowls, smoothies, sides, and signature Mushies, ChagaRoot has been a beacon of plant-based dining in Las Vegas. With a commitment to health and wellness, the restaurant has continued to evolve, and now, ChagaRoot is proud to unveil Cleanse & Nourish with Food – a program designed to elevate everyday wellness for the Las Vegas community.

The Cleanse & Nourish program has been in development since 2020 to provide the highest quality superfoods and adaptogens at affordable prices.

It offers three different plans to suit varying needs:

  • 1-Day Quick Reset
  • 3-Day Balance Detox
  • 5-Day Deep Clean

Each plan includes a nutrient-dense fortified soup, a functional gourmet entrée, two MycoTropic Keto shots, one serving of MycoGreens, and two MycoProtein powders – all crafted with superfoods, functional mushrooms, and adaptogens in a calorie-restricted meal plan. Whether you’re looking for a quick reset or a deeper detox, these cleanses are designed to align with your body’s natural processes for optimal health and vitality. Every meal plan is delivered free to your home throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

Customers can order their cleanse plans online or visit ChagaRoot’s restaurant to pick up their meals.

“We are thrilled to introduce Cleanse & Nourish to our Las Vegas community,” said Adam Klimkowski, CEO of ChagaRoot. “This program is more than just a cleanse—it’s a sustainable approach to long-term wellness. With the power of functional mushrooms and nutrient-packed foods with botanicals, we believe Cleanse & Nourish can make a meaningful impact on people’s health and lifestyle.”

The foundation of Cleanse & Nourish has been cultivated by Shane Stuart, a Las Vegas native and longtime advocate for holistic health. Shane, who previously owned and operated GrassRoots and Panacea, has spent years developing the menu at ChagaRoot and is the Mixologist for the Cleanse & Nourish menu and protocols.

“The development of Cleanse & Nourish comes from years of dedication to creating food that not only tastes good but also supports the body’s natural healing and detoxification processes,” said Shane Stuart. “I’ve always been passionate about teaching the benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables, and this cleanse program is a perfect extension of that mission.”

As the demand for health-conscious dining options continues to grow, ChagaRoot’s Cleanse & Nourish program offers a convenient and effective way for Las Vegas residents to improve their wellness and nutrition.
