Cochlear Highlights Five Ways Treatment for Hearing Loss Can Change a Person’s Life

From health, to work, to home-life and more, people who seek solutions and treatment for hearing loss have everything to gain

Centennial, CO, January 07, 2013 – Hearing loss is the third most common health condition in the United States, affecting more than 38 million Americans. It can happen to anyone and can occur at any stage of life, negatively affecting everything from work-life to home-life, relationships with friends and family and even mental and emotional health.ii It is for these reasons and many more that Cochlear, the world’s leading implantable hearing solutions company, has released five ways that advanced treatment for hearing loss may be able to transform a person’s life.

With the latest in hearing technology, including cochlear implants and bone conduction systems, those with hearing loss now have the opportunity to enhance their world. Below are five ways that the introduction of sound may be able to transform an individual’s life:

1. Health. Fatigue, tension, stress, depression and even dementiaiv are all physical symptoms cited by experts as ailments linked to hearing loss. From an emotional perspective, people with hearing loss may experience irritability, anger, negativism and diminished psychological health.v However, the good news is when the ability to hear is regained, overall physical and psychological health can be improved.

2. Career. Reduced job performance and earning potential – and the resulting loss of identity and self-esteem – are also effects of hearing loss. The ability for an individual with hearing loss to carry out assigned tasks in a workplace environment can be severely hampered by factors such as background noise, acoustics and unfamiliarity with surroundings. Treatment for hearing loss often helps individuals feel more confident and prepared when they are on the job.

3. Daily Conveniences. Difficulty hearing the TV, alarm clock, radio, conversations over the phone or the words of another person are not just inconveniences but also potentially life-changing challenges that can lead to embarrassment, anxiety and even social withdrawal. People who struggle with these challenges due to difficulties with hearing loss may be able to overcome these everyday obstacles by seeking treatment for their hearing loss.

4. Special Moments. Be it the crack of a bat at a little league game, the soft serenade of wedding music, or collective laughter of friends at a dinner party, many of life’s most wonderful moments can be missed due to hearing loss. This can lead to feelings of isolation and depression. Improved hearing can allow individuals to participate more in life and better enjoy the special moments.

5. Relationships. The inability to share intimate conversations or treasured moments because communication through conversation has been lost may be one of the most devastating effects of hearing impairment. Improved hearing through treatment options, like a cochlear implant or bone conduction system, can afford individuals the opportunity to be more fully engaged with those special people in their life.

As the industry pioneer, Cochlear is a trusted partner in helping individuals better understand the science behind treatments for hearing loss, specifically relating to hearing implants. For those who have questions or are interested in learning more, Cochlear offers a Concierge service, allowing people considering the solutions to be counseled by a licensed audiologist who is also a cochlear implant recipient or a parent of a cochlear implant recipient. Speak directly with the Concierge by phone at 1-800-483-3123, chat online or email Concierge@Cochlear.com.

About Cochlear Implants:
Cochlear implants are a proven medical option for infants as young as 12 months old with profound hearing loss, children aged two and older with severe to profound hearing loss, and adults with moderate-to-profound hearing loss. These devices bypass damaged portions of the inner ear and directly stimulate the hearing nerve, or cochlea.

About Bone Conduction Systems
Bone conduction systems are a proven medical option for adults and children with conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and single-sided sensorineural deafness and meet the candidacy criteria. Using bone conduction instead of air conduction to interpret sound, the Baha® System does not amplify sound like a hearing aid; it bypasses the outer and middle ear and uses the natural conductive properties of bone to transfer sound.

About Cochlear:
Cochlear is the global leader in implantable hearing solutions. It has a dedicated global team of more than 2,500 people who deliver the gift of sound to those with hearing loss in over 100 countries. Its vision is to connect people, young and old, to a world of sound by offering life enhancing hearing solutions.

The Cochlear promise of “Hear now. And always” embodies the company’s commitment to providing its recipients with the best possible hearing performance today and for the rest of their lives. For over 30 years, Cochlear has helped hundreds of thousands of people either hear for the first time or reconnect them to their families, friends, workplaces and communities.

T5 Data Centers™ Launches T5@NY Data Center Facility in Westchester County to Serve Metro New York Market

Powered Shell Data Center Located 30 Miles North of Manhattan Ideal for Disaster Recovery and Mirrored Data Processing for Financial and Trading Firms.

Briarcliff Manor, NY, USA (January 8, 2014) — T5 Data Centers™, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments for any enterprise, today announced the launch of T5@NY in Westchester County, the company’s seventh U.S. data center location and the first T5 facility in the Northeast.

Developed in conjunction with Lincoln Rackhouse, the data center division for Lincoln Property Company, the new powered-shell, purpose-built data center is a completely renovated facility located 30 miles north of Manhattan. The 38,000-square-foot building is located on 9.4 acres and the site was chosen because of its proximity to New York City, making it ideal for disaster recovery or use as a “mirror” data center location for enterprise, financial services, trading, and technology firms. It has an existing 2 MW capacity expandable to 4.25 MW, with fiber telecommunication connections available from multiple providers.

“When we decided to open our T5@NY facility, we applied what we learned from Hurricane Sandy,” said Aaron Wangenheim, Chief Marketing Officer for T5 Data Centers. “We chose Briarcliff Manor because we believe it to be one of the safest data center locations in the New York metro, as evidenced by the fact that the area was largely unaffected by Sandy and never lost power. It’s also in the heart of a booming technology region. T5@NY is a great addition to our portfolio, expanding our presence into the Northeast and giving us access to new clients seeking data center resiliency and customization.”

T5@NY is located in the heart of the New York BioHud Valley, home of the largest biotechnology workforce in New York State. T5@NY can serve as an excellent laboratory or incubator space for regional medical and research institutions, such as Cornell, New York Medical College, Phelps Memorial Hospital, and Westchester Medical Center. Westchester County is also home to the headquarters of New York Life, Chrysler Financial, Liberty Mutual, PepsiCo, IBM, and other global companies.

T5 Data Centers is marketing to new tenants for T5@NY now. The facility is expected to be completely operational by the second quarter of this year.

CU Anschutz Medical Campus Enterprise Launches Revolutionary Drug Test That Takes the Guesswork Out of Drug Use and Misuse

New Urine Drug Testing Technology Will Fundamentally Change the Way Pain Management and Addiction Treatment Industries Manage Patients

Denver, CO, January 7, 2014 — For the first time, treatment providers will be able to see a complete picture of their patients’ drug use and misuse using a revolutionary new drug test developed by CU Toxicology, a newly launched enterprise of the University of Colorado School of Medicine’s Department of Anesthesiology. This non-profit laboratory on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colo., has developed a groundbreaking and highly sensitive urine drug testing technology that confidently reveals greater than five times more drug use than any urine drug screen on the market.

“Polypharmacy, or the use of multiple drugs at once, is the newest American epidemic; more than one in five U.S. citizens are using three or more prescription drugs, and more than one in 10 are using five or more,” said Jeffrey Galinkin, MD, chief medical officer of CU Toxicology and professor of anesthesiology and pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “Combine that with the fact that drug overdose death rates in the U.S. have more than tripled since 1990, and it’s clear the industry is in crisis and desperately needs a more comprehensive urine drug test, like CU Toxicology’s, to get a true picture of the issues.”

Industry standard drug screens typically identify between six and 19 drug classes and require treatment professionals to request a second step to confirm results. This cost-prohibitive and time-intensive process also relies on treatment professionals to pick and choose the drugs they want screened, which leads to unsuspected drugs being missed.

CU Toxicology’s complete drug discovery technology identifies and confirms more than 500 prescription, illicit and over-the-counter drugs in one test, giving treatment professionals a more complete picture of their patients’ polypharmacy or multiple drug use. In addition, the highly sensitive test catches drug use that slips under the radar in industry standard drug screens.

For example, the test’s lower sensitivity allows CU Toxicology to identify drug use that is below the standard screen cutoff. In one study, the test reported twice as many positive reports for cocaine, and three times as many positive reports for codeine as a standard screen. In total, CU Toxicology’s complete drug discovery technology reports five times more positive results due to increased sensitivity and a larger catalog of tested drugs.

“Until this point, treatment professionals have treated the trunk without knowing that they’re looking at an elephant,” said Dr. Galinkin. “Industry standard drug screens only catch a fraction of the drugs that are used by pain management and addiction treatment patients, which can lead to ineffective treatment and adverse drug events, such as overdose.”

For several of CU Toxicology’s clients, the test has had a significant impact:

The test has vastly improved Kaiser Permanente Colorado’s pain management and chemical dependency screening process by providing results that are far more detailed and useful to its physicians.

According to Charles Park, MD, a psychiatrist at several Denver-based methadone clinics and owner of his own addiction treatment center, CU Toxicology has helped him discover significant drug use he did not expect to see and would not have known to ask for in confirmation tests.

By employing CU Toxicology’s urine drug test, the practitioners at the Chronic Opiates Clinic at the University of Colorado Hospital were able to precisely identify positive amounts of cocaine at lower concentration levels that were missed using standard drug screens.

Urine drug testing is a standard practice in a variety of treatment settings, including addiction treatment, pain management and employment assessment to verify patient compliance with prescribed medication and to detect misuse of prescription or illicit substances.

“Treatment professionals simply cannot afford to miss multiple drug use in their patients—the stakes are too high,” said Dr. Galinkin. “CU Toxicology’s drug test is the first in the industry that allows treatment professionals to treat with an accurate, complete picture of drug use. It takes the guesswork out of the process.”

CU Toxicology has developed a white paper, “Flying Blind. Traditional UDT: Irrelevant In a Polypharmacy World,” which highlights the reasons traditional urine drug screen technology has become increasingly irrelevant and unreliable as rates of polypharmacy have risen. The white paper is available for download at www.cutoxicology.org/white_paper.

CU Toxicology is a non-profit public/private enterprise of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Using proprietary technology developed in the School of Medicine’s Department of Anesthesiology, CU Toxicology offers urine drug testing services to addiction treatment facilities, pain management centers, emergency departments and other medical and clinical settings that require accurate, complete results.

About CU Toxicology:
CU Toxicology’s urine drug test identifies significantly more polypharmacy than standard screens, taking the guesswork out of drug use and misuse. Using revolutionary complete drug discovery technology that was developed at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, CU Toxicology measures and confirms the presence of more than 500 prescription, illegal and over-the-counter drugs. CU Toxicology is a non-profit national reference laboratory that is CAP/CLIA accredited and HIPAA compliant. Visit www.cutoxicology.org for more information.

Multishoring.info to launch IT support of Small systems worldwide

Multishoring.info, the largest Polish nearshore and offshore provider, has just launched IT support of small systems for the companies worldwide.

London, UK, January 07, 2014 – Multishoring.info, the largest Polish nearshore and offshore provider, has just launched IT support of small systems for the companies worldwide.

Having several small IT systems that do not qualify for a large IT support contract because of their size can be a real nagging pain in the neck. The solution for that to the companies worldwide has just been presented by Multishoring.info, the largest Polish nearshore and offshore provider.

IT support can be provided – depending on the type of systems to be covered by technical support – in two ways. The first one is designed for IT systems that require no special knowledge apart from their names, the use of the technology and how and where to log in to them in the event of failure or a need for modifications.

“In this case you can buy a number of working hours per month, to be determined based on your previous experience with the technical care of these IT systems. Multishoring.info takes action within a few hours of the moment when the client lets us know about a system failure or a need to modify the system. If the volume of work in a given month exceeds the purchased working time, you pay only for the additional time,” explained Andrzej Biesiekirski, CEO at Multishoring.info.

The second way is designed for IT systems that require some knowledge and constant low profile maintenance. In this case the client can also buy a defined and guaranteed number of working hours. This allows Multishoring.info to maintain constant knowledge of the supported IT systems and to perform regular maintenance work to prevent any potential problems. However, if an unexpected incident happens anyway, or you need to modify the system, then you have IT staff on hand that will perform the task. And you pay additionally just for this extra work on solving the problem or introducing the necessary changes.

IT support and maintenance operations are carried out to the companies worldwide remotely by Multishoring.info Technical Support & Maintenance department within Multishoring.info’s business hours. This, however, can be modified and adjusted to the client’s business hours, depending on the scale of the IT support contract.

“By offering IT support of small IT systems we also want to encourage companies from around the world to take advantage of our IT support and maintenance services for their larger systems. They can easily test the quality of our nearshore and offshore services by entrusting us with the IT support of their less important systems. When they realize that it works well and costs half of what they have paid so far, it may be easier for them to entrust us with the IT support of their more critical systems too,” added Andrzej Biesiekirski.

Learn details on the IT support offering of Multishoring.info at: http://multishoring.info/services/software-support-and-maintenance/ and http://multishoring.info/services/it-support-of-small-systems/.

About Multishoring.info
Multishoring.info is the largest organisation of IT consultants specialising in nearshore and offshore IT development in Poland. The company’s offer is addressed to organisations from all over Europe which seek to reduce the costs of IT projects by having them implemented in countries characterised by lower costs, but at the same time culturally and geographically close. Multishoring.info specialises in Cloud Enablement & Development, Mobile App Dev, Application Integration using several platforms (Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Tibco), managing the development and support of existing applications in virtually any technology and reducing your IT costs.

Christina Moss Naturals Tells How to Have Younger Looking Skin Now Part 2 of a 3 Part Series

There are hundreds of moisturizers and facial masks to choose from, all conveniently available to you on store shelves and the internet.

Los Angeles, CA, January 01, 2014 – How to Brighten Your Skin ? Christina Moss Naturals. There are hundreds of moisturizers and facial masks to choose from, all conveniently available to you on store shelves and the internet. The advertising world abounds with TV commercials, videos, and magazine articles featuring endorsements by celebrities, skin doctors, and supermodels. And they are each paid handsomely to endorse products that claim to be natural but are actually chock full of harmful petrochemicals.

By far, the fastest way to obtain fresher and younger looking skin is an excellent and all natural moisturizer such as our 5-Star moisturizer, Christina Moss Naturals. As mentioned in the first article in this series, you should use a truly natural moisturizer twice each day, morning and night. But in addition to mentioning skin hydration, today I want to talk about an amazing facial mask that will help brighten your skin, even out discolorations, and it can be made by you quickly and easily using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

SKIN BRIGHTENING MASK
2 Tablespoons of white rice flour
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon coconut flour
2 Tablespoons of warm milk

Measure and mix the first three ingredients in a small glass or ceramic bowl. Warm 2 tablespoons of milk in the microwave for a few seconds, or place it in a small pot and warm it briefly on the stovetop. Don’t just add all of the milk to the dry ingredients. Instead gradually mix the milk in until a smooth paste is formed that isn’t drippy. Using the back of a spoon, apply the paste to your clean face avoiding the eyes and lips. Leave the paste on for 30 minutes, then gently wash off, cleanse face and pat dry with a clean towel. Immediately apply an all natural moisturizer such as Christina Moss Naturals Moisturizer to maintain skin hydration. Use this mask twice weekly and enjoy the brightening effect it has on your skin.

Stay tuned for the next in this series: How to Have Younger Looking Skin Now, Part 2.
