BioTE Medical Study Showing Promising Results for Military Veterans Diagnosed with PTSD and TBI

IRVING, Texas, Dec. 30, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- A current BioTE(R) Medical Combat Trauma Treatment Study (in conjunction with the Veterans Advocacy Center (VAC)) is showing promising results in helping veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Founder of BioTE(R) Medical, Gary Donovitz, M.D., explains it this way: "Many veterans return from combat with PTSD and TBI. They have hormone imbalances that start in the pituitary gland. We are optimizing their hormones to help relieve their symptoms naturally. We do this by using bioidentical hormones instead of conventional prescription medication. This can improve the quality of their lives."

This study is FREE and available in 40 different states. It is open to veterans who have been discharged, are retired, or are still serving. It includes treatment and lab work (up to $2,000 in value). With such promising results, the program is still looking for qualified participants through the end of 2015.

If you or anyone you know might be interested in this study, please contact Mandy Cotten, DNP, APRN, FNP-C at mandy.cotten@BioTEmedical.com or go to http://www.biotemedical.com/ .

You can also contact Dr. Gary Donovitz online to schedule a speaking appearance or request more information.

Here is what two veterans have to say about their treatment so far: http://www.biotemedical.com/combat-trauma-tbi-and-ptsd-treatment-study.html .

L.A. Celebrates the 71st Anniversary of D-Day, 70th Anniversary of VE Day, and 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War

LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 13, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Celebrated philanthropists Jane and Bert Boeckmann of Galpin Ford and the Heritage League of the Second Air Division, announced today they have joined forces again to honor WWII Veterans at the 71th Anniversary D-Day Luncheon at The Proud Bird, 11022 Aviation Blvd, in Los Angeles, on Saturday, June 6. This year the luncheon will also celebrate the 70th Anniversary of VE Day, and the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. All WWII and Vietnam Veterans, as well as their friends and family, are encouraged and invited to attend.

Led by Master of Ceremonies and "Glee" star, Bill A. Jones, the program includes WWII Jewish-French spy and author of Behind Enemy Lines, Marthe Cohn, among other notable dignitaries.

The event commemorates the 71th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, when American and British forces attacked German-occupied France during World War II on June 6, 1944. Fourteen B-24 bomb groups of the Second Air Division, along with the B-17's of the First and Third Bomb Divisions of the 8th Air Force, dealt a crippling blow to the German military-industrial complex.

Although the war would continue, the D-Day invasion marked the downfall of Germany's 'Thousand Year Reich' and the beginning of the victory for the Allies in Europe. Nazi Germany surrendered less than a year later.

The event also commemorates the 70th Anniversary of VE Day, marking the end of World War II, and the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War.

For more information, and to purchase a luncheon ticket, please contact D-Day Event Chairman Peggy Learman at (818) 366-6972 or via email at whiteplains38@aol.com. Additional information can also be found by visiting the event's website at http://www.ddayanniversaryla.com/.

About The Heritage League:

The Heritage League (or HL) was established in 1987 by its parent organization, the Second Air Division Association (or 2ADA). The HL mission is educating following generations about the sacrifices of our forbears of the Bomb and Fighter Group Second Air Division in WW II. We do this through informative publications, presentations, our website and a host of other social and educational programs.

We actively support related efforts such as the "living legacy" Second Air Division USAAF Memorial Library, in Norwich, England, The 8th AF Historical Society, and the Mighty Eighty Air Force Heritage Museum near Savannah.

Book About Band of Yanks Saving Millions from Starvation Garners National Recognition

DENVER, Colo., April 13, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "Most new print books die an anonymous death," says Milbrown Press publisher and author, Jeffrey B. Miller. "That's not surprising when reportedly more than 600,000 new print books are released every year. But 'Behind the Lines' (ISBN: 978-0990689300) has beaten those obscurity odds."

Recognitions for "Behind the Lines: WWI's little-known story of German occupation, Belgian resistance, and the band of Yanks who helped save millions from starvation" include: Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2014 (Indie) and a Kirkus Starred Review; history finalist in Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards (winners June 26); finalist in the 67th Colorado Authors League Awards (winners May 8); and positive reviews from Publishers Weekly, Foreword magazine, Denver Post, and Westword. Miller has also been a guest on Sirius radio's talk show, "Get it Right with Margaret Hoover."

"Behind the Lines" tells the story of one of the largest food relief efforts the world has ever seen, and one of America's finest hours that few Americans know about. During World War I, the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB) fed every day for four years more than 9 million Belgians and northern French who were trapped behind German lines.

The British insisted neutral American observers, or CRB "delegates," be allowed into German occupied Belgium to supervise the shipments and guarantee the Germans didn't take the food. The first CRB delegates were young Rhodes scholars on Christmas break from Oxford University and had to maintain strict neutrality as they watched the Belgians suffer under the harsh totalitarian rule.

Ultimately, the CRB changed the way Americans saw themselves and how the world saw America.

"Behind the Lines" is a nonfiction history written for general readers. It follows a handful of CRB delegates, a 22-year-old Belgian woman, two U.S. diplomats, the head of the CRB, and two Belgians - a businessman and a priest - who team up to fight the German occupation.

"Behind the Lines" is available in print ($16.95) and eBook ($9.99) and is available in bookstores, Amazon.com, Ingram and direct from the publisher.

French Navy to Use DITEC’s DC-100 with Acid Replacement Technology for Rust Removal

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., May 16, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Today DITEC International announced that DC-100 Rust Remover, an item in DC-100 Collection(TM), will be used by French Navy.

DC-100 Rust Remover(TM) implements the AR Technology and is selected to be used aboard French Navy ships.

The Rust Remover belongs to DITEC's DC-100 Collection(TM), using Acid Replacement Technology combined with DITEC's ELST Solutions. DC-100 product line demonstrates an extreme performance and efficiency while providing the highest level of safety, sustainability and cost-efficiency.

The entire marine industry, including Navy, cruise ships, transport ships and private yachts are operating in one of the most demanding environments on the earth. Every year billions of dollars is spent to fight rust on board marine vessels and rust problem is a great concern combined with enormous financial commitment for the entire industry regardless the size of the vessel. To address this concern DITEC International developed DC-100 Rust Remover(TM).

"DC-100 Collection(TM) is a breakthrough chemical technology. Most products used for removal of rust and rust stains are based on phosphoric or other kind of acids, which are generally corrosive, hazardous and dangerous. DC-100 Rust Remover(TM) uses Acid Replacement Technology and demonstrates 300% better performance and efficiency than phosphoric acid, while providing personal safety, sustainability and superior aquatic profile. Moreover, the extreme efficiency of DC-100 Rust Remover(TM) enables the crew to remove rust and rust stains within seconds without being corrosive either to the surface or the skin. All products in DC-100 Collection(TM) are also compliant with municipal and international environmental requirements such as EPA, NPDES, MARPOL V and EEA (European Environmental Agency) and can be used on open deck while at port," said Christopher Alison, President and CEO of DITEC International Corporation.

"Personal safety, sustainability, performance and reduction of maintenance costs are top priorities for French Navy. By using DC-100 on board their vessels, the French Navy has seen the value in making their ships safer, their operation more sustainable while reducing maintenance intervals and repair costs, as well as increasing the life expectancy of their vessels," said Colin Wilcken for DITEC Distribution in France.

Kubota Research’s P-Wave/PTIR(TM) IR Assisted Advanced Out Of Autoclave (OOA) Process

HOCKESSIN, Del., Aug. 27, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Kubota Research Associates, Inc. headquartered in Hockessin, Delaware, has developed a new P-Wave/PTIR(TM) IR Assisted Advanced Out Of Autoclave process to enhance adhesion properties as well as significantly accelerate the curing speed of thermoset resin systems for installing Adhesive Bonded Fasteners (ABF) such as CLICKBOND(R) studs and standoff onto composite fuselage and metal structures.

The TRL 7 process was demonstrated for the US NAVY Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) through a NAVAIR SBIR Phase II N08-030 program and jointly evaluated at Bell Helicopter and the University of Delaware Center for Composite Materials (UDel-CCM).

OEM qualified room temperature cured structure grade two part epoxy adhesives such as Henkel Hysol(R) EA9394 and Magnobond(R) 6398 are used to install CLICKBOND(R) fasteners onto composite fuselages. These adhesives are extremely temperature sensitive for curing and typically set in 24 hours and cure in 5 to 7 days at 25 C/77 F. The P-Wave/PTIR(TM) process used with the same qualified adhesives can bond and cure the fasteners onto the substrate in less than 10 minutes. The process can be applied under a broad range of operating temperature conditions from -20 C (-4 F) to 50 C (122 F).

The process enhances wettability between the adhesive and substrates to significantly increase the fastener to substrate bonding strength. In addition, the P-Wave/PTIR(TM) ABF installation fixture is reusable and replaces the disposable one time use Pressure Application Fixture.

The P-Wave/PTIR(TM) IR Assisted Advanced Out Of Autoclave module and fastener bonding test results were exhibited at the 2012 NAVY Opportunity Forum. Kubota Research will participate the Matchmaking at The 2012 National SBIR Beyond Phase II Conference at Indianapolis, Indiana on September 10 - 13, 2012.

Kubota Research Associates is a member of the UDel-CCM University-Industry Consortium, a globally recognized center of excellence for research and knowledge in the advanced composites industry.

Mike Kubota, CEO of Kubota Research Associates said, "We are pleased to have established a working relationship with UDel-CCM. Our company along with our global partner Bell Helicopter looks forward to collaborating with UD-CCM to advance the development of P-Wave/PTIR technology to bring a new generation of cost-effective composite parts manufacturing methods to the industry."

A complete description of UDel-CCM and the Consortium can be found at http://www.ccm.udel.edu .
