Ross Insurance Agency, Inc. and the City of Holyoke Go Blue during April for Autism Awareness

April 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment


Holyoke, Massachusetts (PRWEB) April 06, 2012

As the prevalence of autism diagnoses has increased substantially in recent years, it has become more important than ever for parents to be aware of the signs of autism so that they can ensure their children have everything that they need to learn and grow. In order to help spread awareness for autism, the city of Holyoke and Massachusetts insurance companies like Ross Insurance Agency have organized a city-wide campaign. Ross Insurance, as well as the Holyoke City Hall, fire houses, police stations and local businesses, will be participating in the ?Light It Up Blue? autism awareness campaign, for which all these locations will be illuminated with blue lights during the month of April.

In addition to spreading awareness throughout the local community, the staff members at Ross Insurance Agency made $ 10 donations, which were matched by the agency and donated to the Metcalf Autism Program where funds will be used to purchase sensory equipment for children. City Hall employees also made $ 5 donations to dress in all blue on Monday, April 2. Ross Insurance Agency?s President Maureen Ross O?Connell has teamed up with her fellow Holyoke Rotary Club members to sell ?Autism Speaks? puzzle-piece pins that will help raise up to $ 500 for the program.

As small, local businesses, Massachusetts insurance companies like Ross Insurance Agency know that children are the future of their community. The insurance experts encourage their family, friends and clients to join in the effort to raise awareness for autism and learn the signs of autism spectrum disorders. Individuals who would like to make a donation can send a check payable to the Metcalf Autism Program to Holyoke City Hall or call Ross Insurance Agency at (888) 707-9530 to purchase a puzzle-piece pin.

Global Neurodegenerative Drugs Market to Exceed $43.4 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

March 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2010

Neurodegenerative diseases, caused due to neuron deficiency or dysfunction of the spinal cord or brain cells, are destructive in nature, as regeneration of affected cells is not possible and results in ultimate damage or death. Major neurodegenerative diseases with significant unmet medical needs include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Huntington’s disease. There are only a few treatment available for some of these diseases, and several of these treatment options provide only symptomatic relief. For a few others such as the Huntington’s disease, there is still not a single therapy available that can treat the disease.

The United States dominates the world neurodegenerative drugs market as stated by the new market research report on Neurodegenerative Drugs market. The market exhibits huge potential considering the high rates of prevalence of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The market is largely untapped due to under-diagnosis owing to lack of proper diagnostics, and lack of therapies that can effectively and safely prevent or treat the diseases.

Multiple Sclerosis represents the largest segment of the neurodegenerative drugs market. The multiple sclerosis drugs market is all set for a major transformation with new drugs in pipeline awaiting approval in near future. Most pipeline drugs are showing promising results in terms of reducing disease progression and other end-points compared to existing drugs. The most promising multiple sclerosis candidates include oral therapies such as Sanofi-aventis’ Teriflunomide, Active Biotech’s Laquinimod, Merck’s Cladribine and Novartis’ FTY720.

Alzheimer’s is the fastest growing segment of the neurodegenerative drugs market. The currently available drugs for Alzheimer’s disease not only provide limited efficacy, but may also result in serious adverse effects. There are issues with acceptability and safety, and some patients may even fail to respond to treatment with available drugs. The outlook appears interesting considering that a few leading products are lined up for patent expiry, including Namenda and Exelon, while there are others in pipeline that promise to deliver on the failure of available therapies.

Key players profiled in the report include Amarin Corporation Plc; AstraZeneca Plc; Avanir Pharmaceuticals Inc.; Avigen Inc.; Bayer Schering Pharma AG; Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH; Biogen Idec Inc.; Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.; Biovail Corporation; Ceregene, Inc.; Eisai, Inc.; Elan Pharmaceuticals; Eli Lilly and Company; Forest Laboratories, Inc.; GlaxoSmithKline plc; H. Lundbeck A/S; Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH; Merck Serono; Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation; Neurologix, Inc.; NeuroSearch A/S; Novartis AG; Pfizer Inc.; Sanofi-aventis S.A.; Shire Pharmaceuticals Group Plc; Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited; Valeant Pharmaceuticals International; and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The report titled “Neurodegenerative Drugs: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, market drivers, market inhibitors, competitive scenario, clinical trials, product introductions/approvals, and recent industry activity. The study analyzes market data and analytics in terms of value sales for regions including The United States, Europe and Rest of World.

AFrame Digital, Inc. and LifeMatters Bring Non-Intrusive Technology for Senior Care to the Washington, D.C Region

February 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment


Reston, VA, and Bethesda, MD (Vocus) July 19, 2010

AFrame Digital, Inc. and LifeMatters announced today a partnership agreement for the AFrame Digital personal health monitor to be sold through LifeMatters to its clients, both individual consumers and residents served in independent living communities. LifeMatters? strong market presence and excellent reputation for home senior care in the Washington, D.C. area, coupled with AFrame?s new, non-intrusive technology, make them ideal partners.

The AFrame Digital Personal Health Monitor is a non-intrusive wrist monitor, similar to a sports watch that represents the next generation in senior health care technology. The personal health monitor records a user?s activity, impacts and critical health data including weight, blood pressure, pulse and oxygenation levels. Changes in any one of these bodily functions can signal the need for immediate care. Additionally, concerned family members can be sent alerts and updates.

?We are excited to offer this leading-edge technology to our clients,? says Craig Goodman, President of LifeMatters? Virginia Division. ?The personal health monitor is a proactive and personalized approach to dignified health care in a space where time is critical. The non-intrusive nature of the equipment, ease of use, and discreet design are services that we care about as a company providing senior care.?

One of the greatest fears for seniors who live alone is the risk of falling down and not receiving help. The AFrame system removes that worry. If a senior falls, the system sends out an immediate signal to any loved one in the system. There is no need for a senior to press a button or pull an emergency cord that he or she may not have the ability to reach.

?We know from working with clients that panic buttons are ineffective,? Goodman says. ?Seniors feel self-conscious about asking for help and often underestimate their injuries. We also know that if the fall is serious, they may be unable to call for help.?

?LifeMatters will place the monitor with the seniors under the company?s care, and AFrame Digital will support them with its turnkey monitoring solution that will manage the data and deliver alerts,? says Dr. Amy Papadopoulos, AFrame Digital?s Senior Research Scientist. ?Our home-installed telehealth system will provide LifeMatters with the ability to non-intrusively collect vital signs and have superior telehealth situational awareness between visits by the company?s staff. Seniors will experience improved safety and quality of life, allowing them to remain in their homes longer.?

The AFrame system also provides trending information and alerts to allow health care providers to properly treat seniors based on long-term data rather than one-time readings. The ability to alert on changes in a user?s health eliminates the need to sift through data and reports. This allows medical personnel to determine the root causes of those changes faster.

LifeMatters now will offer this improved level of customer care to its clients in the metro Washington, D.C. market. ?This system can improve the independent lives of our clients and their families,? Goodman says. ?We see the system as a way to also differentiate our service from other health care providers. We look forward to a long-term relationship with AFrame Digital.?

AFrame Digital Inc., http://www.aframedigital.com, a Virginia small business, was founded in 2005 to research, design and manufacture non-intrusive, wireless sensor-based monitoring and situational awareness solutions for long-term care and occupational safety. AFrame has received support from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the National Institutes of Health, and is working closely with two large military treatment facilities, Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) and Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC), to develop models of injury and disease recovery for the bioinformatics analysis software portion of the system. The company’s MobileCare MonitorTM system received FDA clearance in 2009 for in-patient, outpatient and home care settings.

LifeMatters, http://www.lifemattersusa.com, is a privately owned and operated home health care company that is based in Bethesda and has additional offices in Falls Church and Washington, D.C. The company offers a comprehensive range of personal, skilled nursing and Alzheimer?s care services tailored to each client?s individual needs.

January 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Machias, ME (PRWEB) September 1, 2010

Primary Organic Therapy, a non-profit medical marijuana dispensary, proudly announces their selection by Maine?s Department of Health and Human Services for operation in Whitneyville to serve Washington and Hancock counties. The new facility will be located at 90 Community Drive in Sanford, and will open for business in December of 2010.

?We are pleased for the opportunity to serve the citizens of Maine by offering alternative medicinal care to the community,? says Derek Brock, founder of Primary Organic Therapy. ?Our focus is upon patient education to introduce new treatment options for a variety of ailments that may not be fully served by traditional pharmaceutical methods.?

Primary Organic Therapy will be providing more than ten different types of genetic varieties of marijuana. These varieties are commonly referred to as ?strains? and each of exhibits different medicinal properties. These different medicine types offer a wide array of treatments for depression, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, cancer, arthritic pain, glaucoma, nausea, anorexia, and mental disorders such as autism and Alzheimer?s disease.

?While we recognize that there are many pill-based treatment plans available, we have seen a large trend towards herbal and organic treatment options. We believe good American citizens are becoming aware of the adverse long-term effects of digesting manufactured medicine, and the growing list of unexpected side effects. We are pleased to be offering quality alternative medicine that can be obtained in a legal and controlled manner,? continues Mr. Brock. ?All medicine dispensed at our location will be produced under strict quality assurance and cutting-edge testing procedures to assure consistent potency and availability. We?ve carefully spent our time investigating dispensary models in other legal states and feel we have developed superior methods to provide Maine reliable care options.?

Primary Organic Therapy?s application states that a trained physician will be on site during all operating hours to provide recommendation cards for qualifying patients, and to answer patient questions. Educational materials will be freely distributed to potential patients looking to expand their treatment options. A full featured website will also be made available enabling patients to learn about currently available marijuana medicines from the privacy of their homes. In the interest of maintaining the highest level of legal compliance, Internet location technology will be utilized to restrict website access only to residents of legal medical marijuana states.

Mr. Brock finalizes, ?Together with the state of Maine we are taking bold new steps in patient care. Education, community safety, and legal compliance are our highest priorities.?
