Fitness enthusiasts are all the raves with the new pair of neoprene knee sleeves from Rip Toned. The company is driven to give back to the growing number of fitness enthusiasts and encourage them to protect their knees while achieving their goals.

West Kelowna, Canada – April 28, 2015 /PressCable/ —

Two months after its release, Rip Toned’s knee sleeves in pair has garnered aficionado from all walks of life. Men and women with active lifestyle has been giving out helpful insights on how the neoprene knee sleeves have been working for them since their purchase on Amazon. Although knee sleeves are widely used by athletes such as basketball and volleyball, fitness enthusiasts have drastically noticed the difference in performance when using neoprene knee sleeves. It has gained admirers who have used and tested it and commend how functional and valuable it is during their strenuous activities.

Knee injuries are one of the chief problems in the world of sports medicine. Pain in the knee area is one of the most dreadful experience in a player’s career and of anyone at any age. It limits one’s ability to walk, work and participate fully in any activity. It constraints range of motion and decreases strength to carry on even the simplest gesture. Recent statistic published by Huffington Post shows that nearly one in twenty Americans older than fifty have artificial knees. If that’s what happens to standard population, imagine the situation of athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Knee injury is inevitable among athletes but according to research using neoprene knee sleeves can actually be a good preventive measure. Studies suggest that neoprene knee sleeve can notably assist in the recovery and healing of knee injuries. “Neoprene Knee Sleeves are frequently used in the treatment and prevention of many common knee problems in sports and clinical settings. Studies have demonstrated that these supports, improve performance and decrease overuse injury rates during activity.” says Damien Van Tiggelen, PhD, associate professor of rehabilitation science and physiotherapy at Ghent University in Ghent, Belgium.

When Rip Toned released their 2 pack neoprene knee sleeves last, the company stated they were taken by surprise with the number of positive response in Amazon. They said their compression knee sleeves that are made of 7 mm lightweight snug fit neoprene material support and warm knee joints for protection. This was noted by Powerlifter Nicklaus Hoover and said it is a must have for any fitness enthusiasts. ” I’ve been having some trouble with my left knee off and on for a few years, tried various things but mostly worked through the pain during workouts. I then tried this knee sleeve, and I gotta say, I’m really impressed! Fits super snug, stays in place and it’s really comfortable! Knee felt great doing some heavy sets of box squats. I liked it so much I got another sleeve! My max on squats jumped 20lbs once I wore both sleeves! My leg days are much more productive and safe now that I have these!”

After all the support, Rip Toned said they are committed to give only the best to their avid customers. To give gratitude back to its customers, Mark Pasay, Co-Founder of Rip Toned announced discounts on their Instagram account @riptoned. “We, at Rip Toned are truly grateful that our customers are happy and satisfied with our neoprene knee sleeves. We’ve been receiving superb reviews since we’ve started putting the knee sleeves in pair up on Amazon. We are giving out coupons with 20% discount (KSLEPAIR) to encourage fitness enthusiasts to protect their knees while reaching for their goals.”

Dr. Tom Umbach mentors high school student for Clark County Medical Society annual mini-internship program.

Las Vegas, NV, USA – April 28, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

On March 25th, Dr. Tom Umbach and Blossom Bariatrics hosted Estrella Rodriguez, an East Career and Technical Academy student, as part of the Clark County Medical Society (CCMS) Mini-Internship Program. “Estrella was fantastic to work with,” Dr. Tom complimented. “She was observant, inquisitive, and has steady hands; she will make an excellent doctor.”

Estrella Rodriguez was one of four juniors selected from East Career and Technical Academy’s Medical Professions Program to participate in the CCMS Junior Mini-Internship Program. Estrella spent March 25th with Dr. Thomas Umbach, who specializes in bariatric surgery. She also spent time with an anesthesiologist, which is her future career interest.

Estrella shares, “During my visit, I shadowed two doctors, Dr. Thomas Umbach and Dr. Gupta, who specializes in anesthesiology. The day consisted of three gastric sleeve surgeries in the OR and they were laparoscopic. Before the actual surgery, I learned anesthesia procedures, including anesthetics and intubation. I also learned the importance of gathering patient family history and walking patients through the surgery and letting them know what to expect.”

“As I observed the surgeries, I learned the importance of teamwork, as everyone was involved. I honestly held back tears of joy multiple times during the day as who would’ve thought that I would be blessed with such an opportunity!”

“What struck me most was when Dr. Umbach told me to change into PPE and join the surgery. When the third gastric sleeve was done, the remaining portion of the stomach was left on the side for me to cut and suture back up! Reading about procedures or watching T.V. shows in which someone else does the work doesn’t compare at all to hands-on experience.”

Estrella concludes, “This experience was more than I originally expected; it was another aspect, which serves to shape my journey into a career in medical professions.”

The Junior Mini Internship Program strives to “enhance students desire to pursue a career in medicine and to keep our best and brightest here in Nevada! This experience is more than just an opportunity to shadow a doctor; this program affords the student a chance to interact with a doctor and the care team in the physical, intellectual and emotional environment the student plans to pursue.”

Dr. Tom is a highly sought-after medical mentor; as one of the busiest and most technologically advanced bariatric surgeons in the world, surgeons and students–worldwide–seek him out to shadow and learn at his side. He shares, “When I connect with and mentor doctors and medical professionals, the world becomes a smaller place; when I mentor students and encourage them to build a bridge from high school to medical school, the world opens up and blossoms.”

When changes were made to how the popular painkiller OxyCotin was made, the US experienced a 20 percent reduction in overdoses.

Boston, MA, USA – April 28, 2015 /PressCable/ —

Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the Boston University of Medicine just released their findings of a study done on the widely used painkiller, OxyCotin.

The study concluded that when the manufacturer made changes to how the drug is created, it had a significant impact on a couple of key findings. First of all, it reduced the overall overdoses of the drug by a full 20 percent. In addition, once the changes were made, the drug was prescribed 19 percent less that it had been previously.

To sum it up, the researchers noted that the estimated decrease in the opioid prescriptions at two years would be enough to supply 5 mg of Oxycodone each day of the fourth quarter of 2012 to 5 percent of the population. The drug manufacturer created an abuse-deterrent formulation when it came to light that the drug was being used illicitly when users crushed it in order to get a better high.

OxyCotin is an extended release drug and users can get consistent relief from pain when it’s used correctly. But people with addictions soon learned that when the drug is crushed, it can give them a quicker high. The new formulation doesn’t allow that same high, and this is what’s attributed to the reduction of prescriptions and overdoses.

This change comes on the heels of the withdrawal of Propoxyphene, another painkiller that was removed from the US market a few years ago when it was learned that it led to cardiac side effects.

A spokesman from Sober Gateway Treatment and Therapy Center told us that the drug abuse rehab treatment industry has seen a rapid increase in the illegal use of painkillers. “The sad truth is that when an addict wants to get high, he or she will find some way to do it. This is great step, but unless an addict gets help with their addiction, they will simply find another substance to get their high.” And it seems that he’s right. The authors of the above quoted study warn that the withdrawal of one drug and the change in manufacturing of another drug does not actually cure the present demand for Opioids, although it may decrease the onset of new addictions in the future. In fact, heroin, another highly addictive opioid has seen a rise in use since the changes, and the authors note that there was a 23 percent increase in heroin overdoses in the study period.

About Sober Gate Way Treatment & Therapy Center: Sober Gateway offers numerous resources to help people permanently overcome the suffering and misery brought upon by drug addiction or alcohol addiction. The company believes in the right to start a new life and reclaim a person’s health, sanity and sobriety. They offer free, confidential assistance to help locate the assistance that those who are affected by addiction and substance abuse issue may need.

Venture Computers of Canada, Inc. comments on recent heavy investing in cloud computing solutions by five companies.

Toronto, Canada – April 28, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

Venture Computers of Canada, Inc. (www.Venture.ca), Toronto’s leading provider of IT support, hardware and software sales services, and consulting, is weighing in on the large round of investments five cloud companies recently received to start or continue their operations.

The week of March 27 saw venture capitalists invest a combined $175 million into companies that focus on cloud computing, storage, or other form of cloud software. The five companies involved in this move include FinancialForce.com ($110 million), Aryaka ($16.0 million), Fusion Ops ($12.0 million), Better Cloud ($25.0 million), and Hedveg ($12.5 million). (Source: Brown, B., “5 freshly-funded cloud computing companies worth watching,” NetworkWorld.com, March 27, 2015; http://www.networkworld.com/article/2902409/cloud-computing/5-freshly-funded-cloud-computing-companies-worth-watching.html.)

“Even split among the five companies, that’s still a large number,” says Harris Tan, owner of Venture Computers of Canada, Inc. “However, it’s important to keep in mind how much cloud computing has transformed multiple industries and impacted culture overall. Yes, these represent huge investments, but when analyzing the future of the cloud, it seems a safer bet than most.”

Tan explains that close to half of all marketing departments are expected to have 60% of their applications on the cloud over the next two years. With most of those applications being aimed at databases, organizations are expecting improved technology quality and customer service in addition to the cloud helping to grow their business. (Source: Columbus, L., “Predicting The Future Of Cloud Service Providers,” Forbes web site, April 5, 2015; http://www.forbes.com/sites/louiscolumbus/2015/04/05/predicting-the-future-of-cloud-service-providers/.)

“This much investment doesn’t come without high expectations,” he adds. “Organizations are increasing their budgets for the cloud and expect it to have a positive effect on both their bottom line and on the services they provide, including interaction with clients.”

Tan notes that while these companies are financed primarily to serve big business interests, Venture Computers of Canada, Inc. is sound in its approach and commitment to servicing the needs of small and medium-sized businesses that are looking to implement cloud computing as part of their operations.

“It’s amazing to hear that the future of cloud computing is such a priority,” Tan concludes. “However, our focus right now is on helping small and medium-sized businesses improve their cloud knowledge, implement these cloud-based solutions so they are on-trend with current systems, and offer IT consulting so the systems are properly managed.”

Venture Computers of Canada, Inc. is one of the leading cloud hosting providers in Toronto and is capable of implementing cloud-based solutions to help improve the operations of any small or mid-sized organization. For more information, visit www.Venture.ca.

Retirees who find themselves in need of long-term health care quickly learn that out-of-pocket medical expenses can rapidly drain even the most robust retirement savings.

Worcester, MA – April 28, 2015 /MM-LC/ —

Seniors in the U.S. are living longer, healthier lives than any generation before them. Good news for retirees looking forward to a long, enjoyable retirement provided they have planned ahead for long term health care costs.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 70 percent of Americans age 65 and over will need some form of long-term care after retirement. Long-term care can mean many different things depending on the patient’s needs, such as skilled nursing and rehabilitative care after a lengthy hospital stay. It can also mean home health care services, a stay in an assisted living facility, or nursing home care.

The costs, however, can add up fast. The average cost of a one-month stay in an assisted living facility was $3,550 in 2014. The cost of a licensed home health aide is about $21/hour and a private room in a nursing home averages $229 per day.

Retirees who find themselves in need of long-term care quickly learn that out-of-pocket medical expenses can rapidly drain even the most robust retirement savings. Medicaid, Medicare, Medigap and HMOs will not cover every health-care cost that comes up, and for this reason a growing number of financial advisors have become more focused on the importance of long-term care insurance in a complete retirement plan.

In addition to helping protect retirement savings from being drained by the high costs of medical care, long-term care insurance can help retirees preserve their standard of living and maintain financial independence. It can also provide more options regarding where the policy holder may receive the long-term care they need: in their own home, in an adult daycare center, in an assisted living facility or in a nursing home.

The right long-term care insurance can be customized to fit each retiree’s specific needs, and it can be shared with a spouse, which may result in lower premiums.

Premiums for long-term care policies are based on the policy holder’s age, making the best time to purchase a plan between the ages of 50-70 to keep the premiums as low as possible. Although the policy holder may pay for a longer time, the benefits can be worth it—potentially lower overall costs, benefit amounts that increase over time, and a decreased risk of being disqualified because of a change in health.

Financial management specialist Greg Lavelle of RetirementAdvisers.net in Worcester, Mass. says that with today’s fluctuating economic conditions and market swings, planning for retirement should include maintaining an adequate level of insurance coverage to accommodate the retiree’s potential need.

“The real risk of not planning for how a person is going to pay for health and long-term care costs isn’t just about having enough money to cover them,” “Lavelle says. “It’s whether your family could end up being burdened with your care.

“We help our clients plan their retirements by working with them to develop a complete long-term strategy, and that has to include health insurance,”

Ignoring the potential costs of long-term health care could be the biggest financial planning mistake many retirees make. Talking to a retirement planning professional with expertise in long-term care policies designed to protect nest egg assets can make all the difference when it comes to securing a comfortable, worry-free retirement plan.
