The DAISY Foundation provides these grants to support registered nurses who continually evaluate their practice, seek answers to clinical questions in an effort to improve their practice, and change their practice based on evidence and evaluation of that change.

ALEXANDRIA, VA–(Marketwire – August 24, 2010) –  The American Diabetes Association is extremely disappointed by the federal district court decision yesterday blocking the federal government from funding research involving embryonic stem cells. 

President Obama’s Executive Order in March of 2009 assisted advancement of stem cell research by lifting existing restrictions on the use of embryonic stem cells, while maintaining strict ethical guidelines. Even prior to that Order, federal funding of stem cell research was permitted on a limited number of previously-existing stem cell lines.

“This is a major setback for medical research, in particular, research towards a cure for diabetes,” said Richard Bergenstal, MD, President, Medicine & Science, American Diabetes Association. “This decision stands as a roadblock to research that has shown great promise in finding a cure for diabetes and treating its complications.”

Stem cell research has the potential to save and significantly improve the lives of the nearly 24 million Americans with diabetes who face its many complications including heart disease, amputation and blindness. The American Diabetes Association has extensively advocated for stem cell research, which holds the promise of accelerating medical advancements in many fields. “We will work with other concerned organizations to find a way to remove this barrier to scientific progress,” said Bergenstal.

The American Diabetes Association is leading the fight to stop diabetes and its deadly consequences and fighting for those affected by diabetes. The Association funds research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes; delivers services to hundreds of communities; provides objective and credible information; and gives voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes. Founded in 1940, our mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. For more information please call the American Diabetes Association at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383) or visit www.diabetes.org.

CHICAGO, IL–(Marketwire – August 24, 2010) –  As the back-to-school season approaches, students and parents shouldn’t forget about health insurance after budgeting for tuition, books, and other school costs. Students who face a temporary gap in coverage or don’t have any health insurance should explore their options in the individual market.

Though health reform will allow full-time students to stay on their parents plan until age 26, this won’t go into effect for millions until next year, leaving many students without coverage.

Students facing a gap in coverage. For students who are just going to face a gap in coverage for a few months, they should look into purchasing a short term health insurance policy. Short term plans are very inexpensive and cover emergency visits.

Students without health insurance. There are many students who will be going to college this fall and are required by their university to purchase health insurance. While many schools offer coverage, it is usually best and cheaper to purchase an individual health insurance policy from an insurance company.

As for cost, individual policies tend to be cheaper because young adults are in good health. An individual plan also offers more comprehensive doctor and hospital networks — university plans frequently have a strict list of covered health care providers.

Another great benefit of individual health plans for students is portability. Even after graduation, an individual health insurance policy can be kept throughout their early professional career.

“Students in need of health coverage can use GoHealthInsurance.com to quickly compare plans from different companies easily with our Quote Engine,” said Michael Mahoney, Director of Consumer Markets at GoHealthInsurance.com. “It’s never a good idea to go without coverage, and students will be surprised at how affordable health insurance can be.”

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwire – Aug. 24, 2010) – ALDA Pharmaceuticals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:APH)(OTCQB:APCSF) (“ALDA” or “the Company”) is monitoring reports of new “Superbugs” that are highly resistant to nearly all antibiotics, including penicillin-like antibiotics that possess broad spectrum antibacterial properties and are typically used as a last resort. The new strains of antibiotic-resistant E. coli and Klebsiella were created when genetic material that codes for an antibiotic-digesting enzyme was incorporated from other species. Such genetic “swapping” is common among bacteria and is a major cause of antibiotic resistance. Although primarily observed in Pakistan, India and the UK, similar infections have been reported in US, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands and international researchers are concerned that these new strains could become a major global health problem.

To reduce the spread of these bacteria, health authorities are recommending proper hand hygiene and disinfection procedures. Dr. Terrance Owen, President & CEO comments, “Using effective hand sanitizers and disinfectant products is an important step in keeping one’s environment safe. ALDA’s products contain 70% ethanol and benzalkonium chloride which have both proven to be very effective against E. coli and other resistant bacteria, such as MRSA. Although the threatened H1N1 pandemic did not materialize, it certainly made people aware of the need for products that can reduce the transmission of infectious diseases. The lessons learned may prove to be very useful as we face ever-increasing numbers of Superbugs.”

About ALDA Pharmaceuticals Corp.

ALDA is focused on the development of infection-control therapeutics derived from its patented T³6^® technology. The company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol APH and on the OTCQB under the symbol APCSF.

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Aug. 24, 2010) – Proponents of for-profit private health care claim our public health care system is “unsustainable,” but the facts show that these claims are driven far more by ideology than real data. Canadian Doctors for Medicare’s briefing note, Health Care Sustainability, explains the issues underlying the debate about health care sustainability, and how physicians in Canada can work together to control health care costs and to improve our health care system for the benefit of all Canadians.

Canadian Doctors for Medicare (CDM) is a national, membership-based organization that believes in Canada’s publicly-funded health care system. The organization’s mission is to provide a voice for Canadian doctors who want to strengthen and improve Canada’s universal publicly-funded health care system in a way that benefits all Canadians.

HOUSTON, TX–(Marketwire – August 24, 2010) –  Bederra Corporation (PINKSHEETS: BEDA), a Houston, Texas-based, diversified medical services provider, discusses recent events in detail below.

The company released its June 30, 2010 quarterly financials. As mentioned in the Management Discussion part of the filings, the financials of its recent acquisition, Texas Mobile Health (TMH), were included. The company has not been able to achieve the level of sales it had anticipated due to the overall unemployment situation causing loss of insurance benefits and therefore lower patient visits to doctors. Also, the recently passed Healthcare Legislation has caused many physicians, particularly in Texas, to opt out of Medicare therefore causing TMH to lose several doctor clients. In addition to all of this, Medicare has cut back reimbursements by 30-40%.

TMH is exploring other areas of diagnostic testing services to increase sales and these areas will be discussed in future releases.

The company reported that it had received a subpoena from the SEC. The subpoena requests certain information concerning the recently reported short selling activities in the company’s common stock and historical stock issuances. Management is fully cooperating with the Commission and will provide it information that management has compiled including weekly DTC Securities Positions Reports, its most recent NOBO list, registered shareholder list, reports and information from Buyins.net and spreadsheets prepared by management together with records requested of the company’s former transfer agent. Management also reiterated that it intends to maintain its Pink Sheets Current Information status as the company’s minimum level of transparency and disclosure as it continues to grow its business internally and through acquisitions.

As previously stated, the company’s long-term goal is to become a fully reporting company and has begun this process by achieving Pink Sheet Current Status.

MADISON, WI–(Marketwire – August 24, 2010) –  TomoTherapy Incorporated (NASDAQ: TOMO), maker of advanced, integrated radiation therapy solutions for cancer care, announced today that General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command of PLA has purchased the first TomoTherapy^® radiation therapy system to be installed in Southern China. The TomoTherapy treatment system will enable the hospital to provide advanced cancer care to a wide variety of patients, including those with head and neck cancers.

“In this area of Southern China, we see a large number of patients who suffer from head and neck cancers. But our aging linear accelerator technology has limited our ability to treat these patients, forcing us to refer them to other cancer centers,” said Jian Liu, president of PLA Guangzhou Hospital, which treats more than 1 million patients annually. “The TomoTherapy platform will enable us to expand our care and deliver treatments for the most complicated cases very effectively and accurately with its integrated daily 3-D imaging.”

The TomoTherapy radiation therapy system allows clinicians to provide helical image-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT), which has been shown to offer better dosimetric distributions when compared to traditional IMRT treatments. PLA Guangzhou will use the TomoTherapy treatment system to address complex nasopharyngeal cancer cases, in which patients can suffer significant side effects. The daily megavoltage CT (MVCT) imaging offered by the TomoTherapy treatment system will allow clinicians at PLA Guangzhou General Hospital to better monitor changes to the parotid glands, and calculate the dosage they receive. In addition, the TomoTherapy system’s innovative adaptive planning capabilities enable clinicians to quickly and easily re-plan treatment so that the dosage received is optimized over the course of treatment.

“With its plan to focus its TomoTherapy treatments on complex head and neck cancers, we believe that PLA Guangzhou General Hospital will quickly become one of the premier locations for these types of treatments in Southern China,” said Fred Robertson, CEO of TomoTherapy. “We are happy to continue our strong relationship with our distributor TomoKnife to expand access to TomoTherapy technology for the benefit of clinicians and patients throughout China.”

DALLAS, TX–(Marketwire – August 24, 2010) –  Too many men have suffered in silence for too long, according to Dr. Bill Johnson, Medical Director of Innovations Medical. He wants more men to “Loose the Moobs” by leveraging modern cosmetic procedures to solve a serious problem.

Male breast fat.

“Either more men are developing flabby pecs, or men are just taking better care of themselves now,” says Dr. Johnson. “We’ve seen the interest in male breast fat reduction jump dramatically in the last year.”

Johnson’s team of technicians at Innovations medical has seen a 300% increase in the demand for this procedure over the last 3 years. “These days, I see at least one ‘moob’ patient per week,” says Johnson. “All of them want liposuction to reduce their chest fat.”

Medically, it’s called gynecomastia, but most men refer to their enlarged breasts as “moobs.” Some Hollywood glitterati have been snapped with “moobs”: Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, even Arnold Schwarzenegger. There are numerous YouTube videos. But no one needs to put up with it, according to Johnson.

Causes can include obesity, hormones and kidney disease, but most of the determining factors are genetic.

“A decade ago, men didn’t seek out cosmetic procedures to address their appearance, but they do now,” says Dr. Johnson. “It’s simple and effective.” Dr. Johnson’s unique “moob” liposuction takes less than one hour, and the patient is awake the entire time. “A guy can come in, have the procedure, and be back at work the next day,” says Johnson. He combines two popular lipo technologies — Tickle Liposuction and SmartLipo. The combination allows for removal of excess fat and skin tightening in the chest area.

“I want more men to take better care of themselves,” says Dr. Johnson. “Get over the hesitation and loose the moobs!”

PLANTATION, FL–(Marketwire – August 24, 2010) –  Transax International Limited (Transax) (OTCQB: TNSX), a network solutions company for healthcare providers and health insurance companies, today reported financial results for the first half of 2010 and second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2010 Transax generated net revenues of $1,046,429 compared to $1,093,705 in net revenues during second quarter of 2009, a 4% decrease. The decrease in revenue is due to the loss of one minor contract during the second quarter 2010 partly offset by continued growth in real-time transactions and rollout of previously announced contracts. Transaction volume was 2.3 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 2.1 million in the same period during 2009.

Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2010 was $418,904 compared with a $243,988 loss during the same period in 2009. Net loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $975,480 compared with a net loss in the second quarter of 2009 of $3,442,588. The decrease in net loss is principally due to a decrease in non cash items related to derivative liabilities expenses.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2010, the Company incurred $1,465,333 in operating expenses compared to $1,337,693 during the same period in 2009. The increase in expenses was attributed to significant increases in cost of product support services together with general and administrative expense increases in complying the Company products to new government regulations in Brazil.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 revenues increased by 1% to $2,069,261 from $2,046,023 during the same period in 2009. The loss of one customer during the period was partially offset by revenues from new customers during the period. The Company recorded an operational loss of $938,180 for the six months ending June 30, 2010 compared to operational loss of $561,171 for the six months ending June 30, 2009. Net loss for the first six months of 2010 was $1,367,493 compared to a net loss of $3,721,815 for the same period in 2009.

At the end of the second quarter 2009 the Company had over 20,150 solutions installed in Brazil including 3,125 Point of Sales (POS) Solutions, 16,350 operational WEB solutions and 1,870 Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions with the balance of PC and Server solutions installed in medical laboratories. During the six month period ending June 30, 2010 the company installed over 5,000 WEB solutions to medical provider locations to support future roll out and revenue growth.

In announcing the results Stephen Walters, President & CEO, stated, “Transaction volumes have increased steadily during 2010 recording a 11% annual increase. The company installed 1,250 solutions during July 2010 and recorded over 850,000 for the month of July 2010. Additional roll out of solutions to increase revenues and reduction in operating costs is the main target of the company for the second half of the year.”

MELVILLE, NY–(Marketwire – August 24, 2010) – FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ: FONR), the Inventor of MR Scanning™, announced the purchase of an UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI by a distinguished Board Certified radiologist in Florida. He is the owner operator of two multi-modality imaging centers equipped with MRIs.

“He was initially considering purchasing a 3 Tesla lie-down MRI,” said Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., president and founder of FONAR Corporation, “but decided instead to buy the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI when he became aware of its many unique imaging capabilities.”

As he explained, “many of the physicians who send patients to our multi-modality medical imaging practices are surgeons who perform spine surgery. It is a very important specialty in medical practice since the second most common reason today, after the common cold, for visiting a doctor’s office is ‘back pain.’

“Each year, 40 to 60 percent of American adults suffer from chronic back pain. More than one million spine surgery procedures are performed annually, with medical costs to treat back pain approaching $24 billion per year. (http://nyp.org/news/hospital/spine-fusion-surgery.html).

“As of 2007, approximately 9 million of the 27.5 million MRIs performed each year in the U.S. are of the spine.

“Accordingly,” he said, “aware that the number one priority of all my referring spine surgeons is the best possible outcomes for their patients, I became convinced that the only technology capable of maximizing the surgical outcomes for my physician senders was to assure that they were able to see ALL of the pathology they had to address, not just part of it from a lie-down scanner in which the body weight has been removed.”

“The spine is a difficult region of anatomy for the surgeon,” he continued, “because as the principal weight-bearing structure of the body it shows its wear and tear degeneration early on. Consequently, degenerative changes of the spine are a normal concomitant of the aging process. This reality, however, from the surgeon’s perspective, can be confounding. Does he, for example, surgically address the degenerative loss of disc height and neural foramina narrowing at L1/2, the ‘spondy’ at L2/3, or the disc herniation at L4/5? It is evident that if a vertebral segment not responsible for the patient’s pain is subjected to surgery, the pain will not improve and there is even the risk that the patient’s clinical condition and pain could be made worse by carrying out surgery on the wrong segment.”

“Consequently,” he stated, “the key to a good surgical outcome is the success with which the degenerative changes responsible for the patient’s pain, are successfully separated from the degenerative changes that are not causing the patient’s pain, so that only those segments responsible for the patient’s pain are operated on.”

“Of all the commercially available MRI scanners,” he said, “the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ scanner is the only MRI that meets this need. What FONAR’s UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ weight-bearing technology makes possible that no other scanner can accomplish is the ability for the radiologist to ask the patient to put himself in the position (standing, sitting, lateral bending, flexion, extension, rotation, etc.) that generates his pain, which no other scanner can do. A picture can then be taken with the patient in his actual pain generating position and then compared to a picture of the patient in an adjacent non-pain-generating position so that the correct pain generating anatomy can be unequivocally identified. This permits the surgeon to address only the anatomy segment generating the patient’s pain, and enables him to avoid surgery on segments not involved in pain generation. The ultimate result is excellent outcomes for the surgeons and their patients.

“A recumbent non-weight-bearing single-position MRI simply cannot meet this need. We see it as a critical need, if we are going to be successful in improving surgical outcomes for our patients.

“Also important to our surgeons is their ability to see their surgical results post-operatively, which the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI can accomplish and the conventional MRI cannot. In the event of a less than optimal surgical outcome, or even an outcome that deteriorates over time, it is critical for the surgeon to be able to see post-operatively any hardware devices he may have implanted (e.g. artificial discs, pedicle screws, fusion rods, etc.) in order to address any surgical results that require further attention. Consequently, being able to clearly visualize installed implants in the post-operative spine is key for the surgeon to be able to address any further needs the patient might have.

“The FONAR scanner at 0.6 T meets this need of the surgeon since it is uniquely spared the magnetic susceptibility image artifacts that the 1.5 T and 3.0 T lie-down scanners generate. The implant artifacts obliterate the anatomy of the vertebral segments that are being imaged and make it impossible for the surgeon to discern the source of any persisting post-operative symptoms or pain that the patient might be experiencing.”

He also expressed the need to be able to provide the unique imaging capabilities provided by the FONAR UPRIGHT® scanner to distinguish his radiology practice from competing radiology centers. “The FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the quintessence of the technology for breaking existing referral patterns. By offering the unique capabilities of the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI,” he stated, “and thereby distinguishing our radiology practice from competitors who market the same ‘me-too’ products, we would be bringing to our community a ‘Center of Excellence’ for imaging the spine. In so doing, we would be establishing for our community a COMPLETE radiology imaging service that could not be obtained elsewhere. Ultimately this would generate business for all of our imaging modalities. By offering a COMPLETE imaging service that includes all of FONAR’s new UPRIGHT® imaging technologies that are not available anywhere in our community, we would achieve ‘One Stop Shopping’ for our patients to address all of their imaging needs.”

“An example of one of the many unique imaging capabilities made possible by the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ fully weight-loaded imaging,” he continued, “is the ability to image, without x-ray, the 400,000 scoliosis patients that must be imaged UPRIGHT® 2 to 3 times per year to monitor their scoliosis treatment. The elimination of x-ray avoids the 70% increased incidence of breast cancer reported by the National Cancer Institute to be the result of the standard annual x-ray examinations of these patients (National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.gov and M. Morin Doody et al. Spine, 8/15/2000, Vol. 25, #16).

“Another example is the ability to scan small children and infants seated on their mother’s lap as they watch their favorite cartoon on the flat screen TV shipped with the system. This greatly reduces the number of children requiring anesthesia when MRI is needed and is a valuable feature of the FONAR UPRIGHT® that we will be bringing to our pediatric community.

“In addition, the ability to scan UPRIGHT® the large population of women suffering from the PFD (pelvic floor dysfunction) symptoms of cystitis, urinary incontinence and bowel dysfunction is another valuable benefit of the UPRIGHT® MRI. Because of the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI, the cause of these dysfunctions can now be definitively shown on the MRI images and successfully treated surgically. These pelvic floor dysfunctions are the result of the cystic, vaginal, and rectal prolapses generated by the pelvic floor stresses of childbirth. They are readily visualized,” he said, “by the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI but are not readily diagnosed by the gynecologist employing the conventional lie-down pelvic examination.”

“There are also now,” he stated, “a large number of patients suffering the consequences of automobile whiplash injuries (Brain Injury, July 2010; 24[7-8]:988) and the ‘fallen’ cerebellar tonsil syndrome (Chiari or CTE; cerebellar tonsil ectopia) that results. The ‘fallen’ cerebellar tonsils require UPRIGHT® imaging to be seen and cannot satisfactorily be visualized by a conventional lie-down MRI. It is another unique need met by the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI capability.”

“In addition, there is now the power using FONAR’s new cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) flow technology,” he said, “to create cinés of cerebro-spinal fluid flow, and in particular, to be able to create cinés of this CSF flow in the upright position so that the adequacy of CSF flow into the upright brain can be quantified and visualized. Imaging patients in the upright position assures there are no dynamic impairments to this vital cerebro-spinal function and enables their correction if it exists. With the recent increased incidence of automobile whiplash injuries (C.S.B. Galasko et al., J. Musc-Skel. Pain 2000, Vol. 8, No. 1-2, p. 15) and the cerebellar tonsillar ectopias (CTE) that result, it is critical to identify this pathology as soon as it occurs so it can be addressed before more dire consequences occur.”

“The ‘Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)’ is yet another symptom complex,” he further stated, “that can benefit from FONAR’s UPRIGHT® imaging technology. The ‘TOS’ patients can now be scanned upright in the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI and placed in the positions that compress the brachial plexus and subclavian artery so that the pathologic anatomy causing the compressions can be visualized and specifically addressed surgically when necessary.

“There is also now the newly recognized Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) that needs the benefits of UPRIGHT® imaging. PCS is a symptom complex in women where pelvic pain arises secondary to venous congestion and pelvic varicosities. Prolonged standing, in particular, gives rise to the pain and has to be diagnostically distinguished from other causes of pelvic pain such as fibrosis and endometriosis. Placing the patient upright in the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI can readily visualize the pain generating venous congestion and pelvic varicosities so that a definitive diagnosis can be achieved and treatment administered.

“Another valued application for the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI scanner is its potential for evaluating the ‘runner’s knee’ syndrome, i.e. the Patella Femoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). In the light of the current day practice of daily running exercise to achieve aerobic fitness, accurate diagnosis of the fully weight-loaded ‘runner’s knee’ in different degrees of flexion and extension, including single leg squats, is a growing need. The FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI makes possible the visualization of the cartilage contact surfaces of the knee, namely, the miniscal and articular cartilage surfaces that support the body’s weight and enable smooth motion of this dynamic weight-supporting structure. This enables the risks from any long-bone malalignments or patella tracking dysfunctions that give rise to ‘runner’s knee’ to be assessed and addressed before they result in a permanent debilitating osteoarthritis. University biomechanical specialists have recently been conducting research using the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI to explore and better define the ‘runner’s knee’ condition and the ‘patellar tracking’ abnormalities that can aggravate it. The FONAR UPRIGHT® cinés of the fully weight-bearing knee make the multi-position dynamic visualization of ‘runner’s knee’ and the diagnostic analysis of it a reality.

“Particularly valuable to me as a radiologist,” he continued, “is FONAR’s new Correlated Slice Profile (CSP) technology. It takes the FONAR Multi-Position™ MRI technology to a new level. With FONAR’s Correlated Slice Profile (CSP) technology, each slice of a 15-slice multi-slice MRI scan of the spine appears on the radiologist’s screen (or film) adjacent to the images of the other positions of the same slice. By re-centering the slices prior to the image acquisition of a new position, the slices of each position scan remain correlated despite any shifts of the body axis that result from changes in body position. The radiologist can then view each slice of the scan in all 3 of its weight-bearing positions, neutral sit, flexion and extension, alongside the same slice from the recumbent position. This enables the radiologist to easily track a given pathology (e.g. a disc herniation or spondylolisthesis) through all of its four positions so the surgeon can be advised of the full range the patient’s spinal pathology (e.g. disc herniation, spondylolisthesis) traverses during the daily range of his/her body positions. By so doing, the surgeon sees the FULL EXTENT of the pathology he must address to get a good outcome.

“I agree with FONAR’s German customer who just ordered their 4^th FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI because of their business success with FONAR’s new technology (Press Release, FONAR Corporation, August 3, 2010). We agree with them that FONAR’s UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is indeed setting a new MRI ‘standard of care’ for a wide range of medical applications.”
