NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2019 / Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Correvio Pharma Corporation ("Correvio" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:CORV). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 9980.

The investigation concerns whether Correvio and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

[Click here for information about joining the class action]

On December 6, 2019, U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") staffers reviewing Brinavess, Correvio's atrial fibrillation treatment, announced that they did not believe that the drug's benefits outweighed its risks. Specifically, the FDA noted that Brinavess was associated with "serious liabilities" including low blood pressure, irregular heartbeats in the lower heart chambers, and death.

On this news, Correvio's stock price fell $0.86 per share, or 39.81%, to close at $1.30 per share on December 6, 2019.

The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Paris is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 80 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

PEORIA, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2019 / Darcy Bergen has over 20 years of experience as a financial planner helping his clients plan for retirement and other financial needs. He is also the owner of Bergen Financial Group and has experience working with clients who have various financial concerns. Although many clients contemplating retirement inquire about life insurance, Darcy Bergen believes people in their 20s should also be thinking about it.

They Have Debts

Although it's hard to imagine people in their 20s have a lot of debts versus someone in their 40s, many young people graduate college with a significant amount of debt. On average, college students graduate with an average of $29,800 in debt. Darcy Bergen mentions that student loans are not the only debts millennials have to deal with. Most adults in their 20s have car loans, credit card debt, and even personal loans.

Young people figure they will live a long time and be able to pay off their debts, but for some, this is not the case. If someone dies, the debts don't just disappear. Many can leave their family members to pay the bill. If someone in their twenties has a lot of debts, Darcy Bergen explains it might not be a bad idea to get a life insurance policy. Depending on the policy, someone in their 20s who is healthy can get a $200,000 term life insurance policy for 20 years.

Marriage

The average marriage age in the United States is 27.8 for women and 29.8 for men. Based on these statistics, there are plenty of people in their 20s who are married. If someone is married in their 20s or at any age, Darcy Bergen explains getting a life insurance policy is a smart idea.

When a spouse passes away, there's no way of telling what the economic impact will be on the spouse. Married couples often have many expenses together, such as mortgages, car loans, credit cards, and other debts. Taking a life insurance policy in your 20s is one of the best ways for a spouse to protect each other financially.

Children

If a person is in their 20s and has children, Darcy Bergen suggests they look into a life insurance policy. For example, taking out a 20-year term life insurance plan when a child is born or a few years old will leave them with protection until they're in their late 20s. No parent wants to imagine leaving their child unprotected in case of the imaginable. The younger and healthier the parent is, the better policy they can get to protect their children.

Correction: the name has been updated to Antonio​ Rozier, M.D.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2019 / Healthcare Solutions Holdings, a medical service and device company focused on providing clinicians with state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic tools, announced the appointment of Antonio​ Rozier, M.D., as member of the Medical Advisory Board.

Dr. Antonio Rozier

"We are excited to welcome Dr. Rozier to the Medical Advisory Board," said Travis Revelle, CEO of Healthcare Solutions Holdings Inc. "Dr. Rozier brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the pain management area. His expertise will allow HSI to facilitate a more robust pain management platform for our physicians to utilize. Pain management is an area that is constantly in the news. The opioid epidemic has ravaged the United States over the past decade. Having an experienced pain management physician who understands the importance of providing pain management without the use of opioids is critical to deliver high-quality patient results while also mitigating the use of opioids."

Dr. Antonio​ Rozier attended Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he graduated cum laude with a B.S. degree in Biology. His stellar academic track record and hard work allowed him to be accepted to the Early Medical School Selection Program at Boston University one year earlier. At the medical school, his work with the impoverished and marginalized let him receive an international educational grant to work with the homeless children in parts of Bolivia and South America. By doing continuous hard work and gaining empirical experience, Dr. Rozier was awarded an M.D. degree in 2008. He was awarded Best Pain Doctor of Mansfield, Texas, from 2015-2016. He became interested in Musculoskeletal Medicine because as a rehab medicine doctor, he gets to really appreciate the small victories that are important to a patient's health and he loves to see patients improve functionally. Outside of work, Dr. Rozier is a co-founder of a tech company, is on the board of two non-profit organizations, and also travels to Haiti every year for medical mission trips where he provides medical care for all types of patients.

"As a physician, I get approached with many different opportunities, however, what attracted me to HSI was really the capability to effect change in healthcare on a much larger scale," said Dr. Rozier. "Not only will I be able to provide patients proper care with the assistance of HSI but also have the allowability to finally have a safe way to be involved in the healthcare paradigm. I hope the company helps tame down the confusion that may be in clinics and with physicians when it comes to lab, pharmacy, and DME services. HSI has the capability to become an entity that doctors and patients can trust and utilize. In the future, I can't wait to see how technology can streamline the process, workflows and patient/doctor access to information."

HSI is a medical service and device company focused on providing clinicians with state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes by helping clinicians gain broader access to the most advanced technology in the healthcare industry. HSI does not only focus on assisting physicians with exceptional healthcare delivery but also promotes compliance with the industry's best practices.

OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2019 / "We need special action to assure a right to life … security … health and education for Native people in Canada. Those are basic rights assured to all Canadians – and they didn't need a plan of action to be implemented. So why is there need for a special plan of action for Native people in Canada? To me, that means that Native people are not equal." – Secretary General of the Organization of American States Luis Almagro, Ottawa, December 6, 2019

Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) Luis Almagro wrapped up his three-day visit to Canada with the view that the federal government needs to accelerate action on the findings of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and its 231 Calls for Justice. Mr. Almagro was in Canada last week on the formal invitation of the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC).

During Mr. Almagro's visit, the federal government announced its plans to develop a national plan of action by June 2020. While acknowledging that such a plan "is a step forward," Mr. Almagro, who announced the striking of an OAS expert panel following the release of the final report of the MMIWG Inquiry, believes the plan cannot be considered a substantial step forward given the daily challenges that Canada's Indigenous people face. "Sometimes one year is too much for some people to wait when this situation has gone on for many, many years," he said.

Following NWAC's Honouring Indigenous Women Reception the evening of Dec. 4, featuring a red dress display and Indigenous performances, Mr. Almagro had an opportunity to gain a first-hand perspective of the safety, security, social and economic issues confronting Indigenous rural and remote communities. Mr. Almagro spent Dec. 5, accompanied by NWAC's president Lorraine Whitman, visiting several First Nations fly-in communities in Northern Ontario – including Fort Albany and Kashechewan.

For the final day of his visit, Mr. Almagro was engaged in high-level discussions covering key human rights issues impacting Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people. In addition to meeting with NWAC Elders and representatives, Mr. Almagro participated in one-on-one meetings with community leaders, experts and academics. Thought leaders included: Mary-France Kinsley from the Office of the Correctional Investigator on Indigenous women in prison; Kerri Cheechoo, a professor and researcher on colonial violence; former commissioners of the National Inquiry into MMIWG Marion Buller, Michele Audette and Qajaq Robinson, as well as Fannie Lafontaine, Laval University law professor and author of the MMIWG report on genocide, and Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde.

Mr. Almagro's visit to Canada helped to further NWAC's goal to develop international collaborative partnerships and seek the support of international human rights defenders to ensure implementation of the Inquiry's 231 Calls for Justice.

Mr. Almagro indicated his interest in finding ways to help implement the Inquiry's findings and plans to work with NWAC on a joint letter to Prime Minister Trudeau, outlining recommended next steps. He said, "I think the facts found during the Inquiry perfectly match with the legal definition of genocide, consisting of a coordinated plan of different actions to the destruction of the essential foundations of the original native people of Canada."

"We welcome our partnership with Mr. Almagro and the OAS. NWAC is committed to continuing our efforts for positive social, economic and legal change – to change the story for Canada's Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people," says President Whitman.

ASTORIA, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2019 / Long gone are the days when Downtown Manhattan was a wasteland closed off to the public. In recent years, lower Manhattan has gotten a second wind, and a lot of money has gone into its restoration and development. Pier A Harbor House is one of the projects that National Floors Direct is most proud of in lower Manhattan.

For a long period of 130 years, Pier A Harbor House was closed to the public. Since it opened in 1886, Pier A served as headquarters to the New York Harbor Police. After much consideration from several historical committees, the restoration process was on its way. The restoration process would take several years, with a projected budget of $40 million. Restoring Pier A would create a restaurant, bar, and private event space. National Floors Direct was in charge of restoring the floors for Pier A as well as BlackTail restaurant.

To National Floors Direct, BlackTail restaurant is a great accomplishment since it was number 29 of the 150 best bars in America. Although there are several bars in Pier A, the creators of BlackTail had already known success with their previous restaurant, Dead Rabbit.

Dead Rabbit is one of the most upscale restaurants downtown Manhattan has to offer, and BlackTail couldn't be the exception. The atmosphere at BlackTail is quite unique as it packs a diverse mix of people. Due to its location near the Financial District and the Statue of Liberty Cruise, BlackTail has a mix of tourists and working professionals.

Entering BlackTail is a journey that takes customers back to the era of prohibition. When they arrive, guests must climb a wooden staircase, which adds to the speakeasy feel. Sticking to the theme of the restaurant, one can only describe the menus as something out of a Hemmingway era. BlackTail wants to transport customers to the prohibition era when wealthy Americans traveled to Cuba to have the cocktails flow. This is one of the many reasons why National Floors Direct is proud of its collaboration with Pier A and BlackTail.

National Floors Direct is a direct to customer carpet and flooring service. Ever since 2005, after operating for decades floor covering stores, they decided to change the way their customers shopped for carpet and flooring. National Floors Direct takes pride in revolutionizing the way their products get delivered to their customers. National Floors Direct proudly has over 75 years of experience under their belt, are leaders in the industry, and has over 10,000 satisfied customers to date.
