NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Signs Agreement With Nation’s Second Largest Independent Optometry Group, AllDocs

The agreement will bring NovaBay’s innovative eyelid and lash hygiene product Avenova to hundreds of additional optometry offices including LensCrafters

EMERYVILLE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 16, 2015 / NovaBay(R) Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT:NBY), a biopharmaceutical company focusing on commercializing and developing non-antibiotic antimicrobial products for the global eye care market, today announced that the company’s prescription daily eyelid and lash hygiene product Avenova(TM) will be marketed through ALLDocs Optometry Group, making the product available to the group’s optometrists.

AllDocs, also known as The Association of LensCrafters Leaseholding Doctors, is the second largest independent optometry group in the U.S. It works closely with its LensCrafters partners.

“This agreement with ALLDocs will bring Avenova to hundreds of additional optometrists and thousands of additional patients,” said Glenn Moro, VP Sales & Marketing for Avenova at NovaBay. “It also demonstrates how demand for Avenova is growing among optometrists as they learn about the many benefits the product brings to patients.”

Combined with NovaBay’s previous distribution agreements with McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK), Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH), AmerisourceBergen and Vision Source, the largest independent optometry network in the U.S. , the new agreement means that Avenova now will be available in thousands of optometrist and ophthalmologist offices across the country, in addition to the majority of the nation’s 67,000 pharmacies and many retail chains.

“This agreement certainly has the potential to increase Avenova sales,” said Ron Najafi, Ph.D., President and CEO of NovaBay. “More importantly, the impact of the agreement will be that more patients suffering from chronic and often-painful eye conditions like blepharitis will finally be able to find relief.”

Avenova is the only lid hygiene product that contains Neutrox(TM), NovaBay’s proprietary pure hypochlorous acid, which mimics a naturally occurring substance produced by white blood cells to fight microbial invaders. Lab tests show that Neutrox is effective in solution both at killing microbes and at neutralizing bacterial enzymes and toxins. Those properties enable Avenova to help in the management of blepharitis and other common eye conditions like meibomian gland dysfunction. Indeed, both patients and doctors report that a regimen of daily lid hygiene using Avenova has been remarkably successful in managing those conditions.

Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAA) Announces Pivotal Phase 3 NETTER-1 Study of Lutathera in Patients with Midgut Neuro Endocrine Tumors Meets Primary Endpoint

Data will be Presented in Presidential Session at the European Cancer Congress 2015; FDA Grants Priority Review to AAA’s New Drug Application for Somakit-TATE, Lutathera’s companion PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Diagnostic

SAINT-GENIS-POUILLY, FRANCE / ACCESSWIRE / September 16, 2015 / Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAA), an international specialist in molecular nuclear medicine, today announced that the pivotal Phase 3 NETTER-1 clinical study investigating the treatment of Lutathera (177-Lu-Dotatate) in patients with inoperable, progressive, somatostatin receptor positive midgut Neuro Endocrine Tumors (midgut NETs) has met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful increase in progression-free survival for Lutathera versus a double dose of Sandostatin LAR. The pivotal Phase 3 study results will be presented for the first time on Sunday, September 27, 2015, at the European Cancer Congress (ECC) 2015 in Vienna, Austria.

The late-breaking abstract was chosen to be presented in one of three Presidential sessions, and has also been selected to be featured as part of the official media program at ECC 2015.

The details of the presentation are as follows:

Abstract 6LBA: Late-Breaking Abstract: 177-Lu-Dotatate significantly improves progression-free survival in patients with mid gut neuroendocrine tumours: Results of the phase III NETTER-1 trial

Speaker: Prof. Philippe Ruszniewski, M.D
Presidential Session II (Hall D1)

Sunday, September 27, 2015

Session from 14:45-16:55 CEST (8:45-10:55 a.m. EDT); presentation expected to begin at 16:15 CEST (10:15 a.m. EDT)

Stefano Buono, CEO of AAA, clinical study investigator Prof. Philippe Ruszniewski, and Josh Mailman, an active member of the NET patient community, will be available onsite at the conference for interviews.

The press conference webcast will be available on September 27, from 7:00am CET onwards at http://www.europeancancercongress.org/Webcasts-Photos.

Other important news announced by AAA today is that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Priority Review to AAA’s New Drug Application (NDA) for SomaKit-TATE, a patented Kit for the preparation of 68Ga-DOTATATE for injection, which is in development to help diagnose and manage somatostatin receptor-positive NET patients using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The Somakit NDA was submitted on July 1st, 2015 and it is the first NDA ever filed for a drug using Ga-68 as a positron emitter.

“Somakit-TATE has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosis while reducing radiation exposure for patients. We believe that the use of Somakit-TATE should also offer, if approved, the opportunity to shorten a procedure that is performed over 24 hours or more to a couple of hours, with increased comfort for the patient,” said Stefano Buono, Chief Executive Officer of AAA. “We view Somakit as a companion diagnostic for Lutathera, our GEP-NET therapeutic candidate which is in its final stages of development, as the two compounds share exactly the same peptide. We believe that Somakit and Lutathera, if approved, have the potential to provide significant improvement in the treatment of GEP-NET patients.”

A Priority Review designation is granted by the FDA when a proposed drug exhibits the potential to offer a significant improvement in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of a serious condition.

The FDA and the EMA granted Orphan Drug Designation for Ga-68 DOTATATE (Somakit) in March 2014.

About 177Lu-DOTATATE (Lutathera)

Lutathera (or 177Lu-DOTATATE) is a Lutetium-177, or Lu-177, labeled somatostatin analogue peptide currently under development for the treatment of Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic Neuro Endocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs). This novel compound has received orphan drug designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Lutathera was also granted Fast-Track designation by the FDA in April 2015 for the treatment of inoperable progressive midgut NETs. The FDA provides Fast-Track designation to product candidates that treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need in order to facilitate their development and expedite their review. Lutathera is also currently administered on a compassionate use and named patient basis for the treatment of NETs in ten European countries.

Lutathera belongs to an emerging form of treatments called Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT), which involves targeting carcinoid tumors with radiolabeled somatostatin analogue peptides.

There is an unmet medical need for an effective treatment of inoperable, advanced NETs and there are currently no therapeutic options available for patients with NETs other than pancreatic NETs (about 10% of NETs are pancreatic) who are progressive under somatostatin analogues. Currently at the end of its Phase III development with the NETTER-1 pivotal study, Lutathera is the most advanced candidate in development for PRRT.

About Somakit-TATE

Somakit-TATE, a companion PET diagnostic product candidate for Lutathera, is a novel patented kit in development for radiolabeling somatostatin analogue peptides to help diagnose somatostatin-receptor-positive NET lesions. The kit has been designated as an orphan drug by the EMA and the FDA. Somakit-TATE has the potential to offer a standardized procedure for producing diagnostic compounds based on 68Ga without the need of expensive pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment and extensive quality control testing.

About Advanced Accelerator Applications

Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAA) is a radiopharmaceutical company founded in 2002 to develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic products. AAA’s main focus is in the field of Molecular Imaging and targeted, individualized therapy for the management of patients with serious conditions (“Personalized Medicine”).

Princeview Dental Encourages Medication Disclosure to Dentists

Princeview Dental, one of Etobicoke’s premier dental clinics, is alerting dental patients about the importance of providing their dentists with an updated medication profile to avoid adverse drug interactions.

Toronto, Canada – September 16, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

Princeview Dental (www.PrinceviewDental.com), a dedicated family dental practice in Etobicoke, is alerting dental patients about the importance of providing their dentists with an updated medication profile to avoid adverse drug interactions.

The importance of patient-dentist communication concerning medication disclosure was highlighted in a recent study published in the Journal of the Canadian Dental Association (JCDA). According to the study, roughly two-thirds of dental patients are taking some form of prescription, over-the-counter medicine or vitamin supplement. Study authors suggest that it is essential patients give this information to their dental practitioners.
(Source: “Fitzgerald, J., et al., “Outpatient Medication Use and Implications for Dental Care: Guidance for Contemporary Dental Practice,” Journal of the Canadian Dental Association web site, July 7, 2015; http://www.jcda.ca/article/f10/.)

“There is a very real risk that an adverse drug interaction can occur if patients aren’t properly self-reporting their medications,” says Dr. Janice Mummery, founder of Princeview Dental. “A number of different drugs can be prescribed at a dental office. This could potentially be problematic if a dental practitioner doesn’t have the same access to the patient’s health records that is present in a medical office or hospital.”

According to Dr. Mummery, one of the common vasoconstrictor drugs used in oral surgery can potentially cause a hypertensive episode when it interacts with certain antidepressants. Similarly, anyone who is taking drugs that affects their blood pressure, even something as seemingly innocent as “Aspirin”, could experience unexpected excessive bleeding.

“These are avoidable events provided the patient self-reports accurately. Even if it doesn’t seem relevant, it should be mentioned,” Dr. Mummery emphasizes. “Some medications have side effects, like dry mouth. For a dentist, that is important information to have since knowledge of a patient’s oral environment is necessary for proper duty of care.”

Princeview Dental has been a fixture of the Kingsway area in Etobicoke for over 20 years and is a leading provider of dedicated family dental services. Visit the Princeview Dental web site at http://www.princeviewdental.com to book an appointment or call Princeview Dental at 416-231-4562.

Portable Diaper Changing Clutch Has Gender-Neutral Design, Announces 3 Bees and Me

September 16, 2015 – – Earlier today, 3 Bees and Me proudly shared that their portable diaper changing clutch has a gender-neutral design. Specifically, each clutch and mat has the elegant Chevron-style pattern. The company chose the classic design in order to cater to a wider market.

“We have always believed that aside from quality, the look of a product is also important. With this in mind, we chose the Chevron black and white design for the changing mat,” says 3 Bees and Me representative, Holly James. “Since it has a classic design, it can be carried by both mothers and fathers. The design is perfect for those who want something that is stylish. While it actually looks expensive, the price is actually reasonable.”

The gender-neutral design is well-loved by buyers as frequently seen in reviews. In a review given by Michelle, she wrote: “This is the greatest idea. I purchased this 3 Bees & Me portable diaper changing pad to give as a gift. The portable changing pad unfolds to a rather large changing pad, which can be wiped out with a sudsy cloth and then rinsed clean. When the changing pad is folded up it looks like a purse. The chevron print gives it great character and is stylish. I believe my friend is going to love this.”

This diaper clutch has an expandable mesh pouch where parents can put in baby diapers and wipes. It also has a zippered front pocket where valuables such as money and keys can be kept. The clutch has a wrist strap and very easy to carry during short trips with the baby. This can also be used as an attachment to baby strollers during walks. For the diaper mat, it is large, but can easily be folded and kept when not in use. It is also made of a vinyl material that can be easily sanitized after use.

Based on feedback, the classic design of 3 Bees and Me’s product is a stand-out among clutches at amazon. Most diaper changing kits are usually printed in bold colors that are more often than not, gender-specific. This particular product gives the buyers an option to go for something that gives off a sophisticated vibe.

Dopamine and the Susceptibility of Men to Alcoholism

In the United States, the rate of alcoholism among men is more than twice the rate of alcoholism among women. Research conducted jointly by Columbia and Yale Universities has shown that there may be a physiological explanation for this. Studies showed that when men consume alcohol, the brain responds more dramatically than it does in woman in how much dopamine it releases. Depending upon how reactive one is to dopamine, this can trigger abusive behavior with alcohol.

Dopamine is a chemical that the human brain releases in response to pleasurable stimulation. The more dopamine is released, the more positive one will feel. So if one is particularly reactive to the effects of dopamine, the more alcohol that is consumed, the better one will feel.

However the study also yielded the ominous finding that the more heavy drinking episodes occur, the lower the release in dopamine became. Thus, participants in the study found that they needed to consume more and more alcohol in order to achieve the same desired, pleasurable result.

This is a reflection of the ratio of male alcoholics to female alcoholics. The more dopamine that is released, the more elated one feels. So, based on pure brain chemistry, men appear to be “getting more” out of drinking – and eventually heavy drinking – than women.

In her book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts In A World That Can’t Stop Talking”, author Susan Cain writes that there are certain people (in her book segmented by personality types rather than gender) who are found to have greater, more intense reactions to the effects of dopamine. This would explain why not every man who experiences that greater rush from its release will pursue that feeling in extreme towards alcoholism, just as well as it may explain why certain women may be susceptible to it even though they aren’t ostensibly getting “as much” from the experience chemically.

A more recent study conducted in August 2013 by McGill University would seem to further validate the findings of the Columbia/Yale researchers. The research showed that subjects found to be at high-risk for alcoholism showed a greater release of dopamine in a specific arena of the brain that responds to rewards and otherwise craves them. This also ties into Cain’s conclusions in her book that people who are more reactive to the effects of dopamine in the pleasure centers of the brain are more likely to be motivated by rewards than others who are not. If the reward from alcohol consumption is a good feeling, then it might be chased in the extreme, and that extreme may unfortunately be the development of a problem with alcohol.

It is important to note that there is no one trigger towards alcoholism in men. Different social and environmental factors can play significant roles in ways that brain chemistry can then exacerbate. But knowing that there is a potential true trigger in the brain that causes some people to start down a path that ends in alcoholism can be important when developing preventive therapeutic treatments in order to help guard against relapse. And while it does not provide a blameless blanket excuse, this understanding can help those guiding men in recovery to understand themselves that their motivation may be as much about how there are wired as it is how they have consciously behaved.

The Canadian Institute of Hair and Scalp Specialists Weighs in on Female Pattern Hair Loss Awareness

The Canadian Institute of Hair and Scalp Specialists comments on the awareness of female pattern hair loss.

Mississauga, Canada – September 16, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

The Canadian Institute of Hair and Scalp Specialists (www.CanadianHair.ca), a Toronto-based organization offering hair loss treatment for over 25 years, is weighing in on the increased need for awareness about female pattern hair loss.

Androgenic alopecia, or female pattern hair loss, is the most common cause of hair loss in women. Unlike in men, women experiencing androgenic alopecia notice their hair thinning around the part rather than having a receding hairline. The condition is largely genetic, with a suspected link to the hormone androgen. It can occur as early as age 20, though it is more common in the 40s. (Source: Leap, A., “When thin is not in: Hair loss for women has multiple causes, needs correct diagnosis,” Pocono Record web site, September 9, 2015; http://www.poconorecord.com/article/20150909/ENTERTAINMENTLIFE/150909461.)

“It can be a distressing situation, especially since current culture places a lot of emphasis on a woman’s hair.” says Ken Robson, Founder of the Canadian Institute of Hair and Scalp Specialists. “In rare cases, it can even progress to full baldness.”

Hair loss can be a great source of social and personal anxiety for women and can negatively affect their self-esteem. Compounding matters is that there is no known preventative treatment; the only approved remedy, the drug minoxidil, also only works in about 20% of cases.

“However, here are other options if minoxidil fails,” Robson adds. “Depending on how far the condition has progressed, it can be hidden with an alternate hair style. However, the most effective means is currently a hair transplant.”

Hair transplant procedures replace the deactivated hair follicles with live ones from elsewhere on the body. It is a permanent procedure with established effectiveness.

“It’s important not only that women are aware that hair loss isn’t just an issue for men, but that they know there are options available for them as well,” Robson concludes. “Those suffering from hair loss should always consult for a doctor or dermatologist to determine the cause and what the possible treatments are.”

Revolutionary Brands Inc. Responds to Study That Reveals Link Between Vitamin B12 Excess and Skin Conditions

Revolutionary Brands Inc. weighs in on research that reveals that an excess of vitamin B12 may lead to acne outbreaks.

Stouffville, Canada – September 16, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

Revolutionary Brands Inc. (www.RevBrandsInc.com), a seller and distributor of unique products throughout North America, is responding to a study linking an excess of vitamin B12 to skin conditions such as acne.
According to a study from the University of California, Los Angeles, individuals with high levels of vitamin B12 may be more susceptible to acne than others. The researchers, in an effort to determine what makes certain people more likely to develop acne, found indicators that vitamin B12 may play a role by disrupting a skin bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes. From there, they had 10 people with clear skin start taking vitamin B12. However, despite the extra consumption of the vitamin affecting how the genes in skin bacteria processed it, only one subject developed acne. (Source: Dotinga, R., “Could a Vitamin Play a Role in Acne Outbreaks?” WebMD, June 24, 2015; http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/acne/news/20150624/could-a-vitamin-play-a-role-in-acne-outbreaks.)

“Even though this study’s findings are preliminary, it does give hope to those suffering from acne and other skin blemishes,” says Brett Lawson, owner of Revolutionary Brands Inc. “This means that researchers will potentially be able to develop medicine that can be used to clear acne.”

It’s still unclear why only one test subject developed acne and the researchers hope that further study will lead to an understanding of why certain people are predisposed to acne if their body contains too much vitamin B12. The study also found that certain genes could possibly influence acne development, which will also require further research.

“This doesn’t mean that people who are suffering from acne breakouts should stop taking B12 supplements or stop consuming foods that contain the vitamin, such as dairy and shellfish” Lawson concludes. “Those who ingest a lot of vitamin B12 or take supplements and notice skin blemishes should consider cutting back. And if an outbreak has already occurred, an acne cream cream can help to clear it up.”

Revolutionary Brands Inc.’s Nova C60 line offers creams to remove blemishes. The ingredients include salicylic acid and the Nobel Prize-winning fullerene, two compounds effective for fighting acne and other skin blemishes. For more information, visit www.RevBrandsInc.com.
