Verified Clinical Trials and ClinSpark® Now To Offer Single Access Point For eSource and Research Subject Verification To Prevent Duplicate Subjects in Clinical Trials

The global research subject duplicate enrollment prevention solution Verified Clinical Trials (VCT) and Foundry Health's eSource and phase I automation platform ClinSpark® are now electronically connected. The integration greatly simplifies the process for site users to check for duplicate subject enrollments and several other protocol violations. All relevant data is automatically synced, eliminating double entry of data and thereby reducing errors and diminishing workload. An eligibility check with the Verified Clinical Trials database is initiated from within the site's ClinSpark® interface. With just one button to press, the powerful technology of VCT is activated and the user instantly receives a response on the verification check within seconds. A full report with relevant details is automatically added to the source data in ClinSpark® and is accessible to all authorized study users.

Duplicate or over enrollment is a well-recognized and growing problem within the clinical trials industry. VCT and Foundry Health both strongly believe that technology can greatly enhance the safety of subjects in clinical trials and improve the quality of the data. VCT and Foundry Health now offer a simplified and more expedient process by developing a single combined access point for data entry and research subject enrollment status verification. Due to the web-based nature of each solution, a clear path towards collaboration between the technology providers emerged in a way that has not been seen with traditional on-premise solution providers. The results of this joint effort lead to enhanced compliance, a reduction in error rates, and improved efficiency. The one-click verification of research subject enrollment status step is a first step in this collaboration between the two companies.

Mitchell Efros MD FACS, CEO of VCT stated, "Volunteer safety is paramount in everything we do. Developing new technology as a means to achieve that is at the heart of our company. We are very pleased to see that ClinSpark® is built on those same values. This collaboration will enrich the clinical trial landscape as we know it today. We are very pleased with our alliance and it was great seeing the teams working so closely together to develop such a powerful yet efficient tool. We look forward to further enhancements as we continue our collaboration." Click here.

Brock Heinz, CEO of Foundry Health stated "The modern architecture of ClinSpark® empowers us to easily connect to anything: devices, databases, or other cloud-based solutions. Verified Clinical Trials is without question the world leader in solutions for preventing duplicate enrollment of subjects in trials. It has been a privilege to collaborate with them and have our systems and teams working closely together. ClinSpark® is focused on making it simple and easy to run a phase I trial for the clinic staff. Our interface with VCT is yet another step in achieving that goal." Read this for more information.

VetStem Biopharma is Pleased to Announce Dr. Douglas Stramel of Advanced Care Veterinary Services is Successfully Using the Pall V-PET™ Platelet Therapy System

Dr. Douglas Stramel of Advanced Care Veterinary Services in Carrollton, Texas has been using the Pall Veterinary Platelet Enhancement Therapy System (V-PET™) for nearly three years. A proponent of Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Stramel has been credentialed to perform VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy since 2007 and began using V-PET™ 2016. V-PET™ is a gravity filtration-based platelet therapy kit that produces a platelet concentrate rich in natural healing cells. Supported by veterinary peer-reviewed publications, V-PET™ has been shown to be an effective regenerative medicine solution for the treatment of joint disease, soft tissue injuries, and to assist in the resolution of wounds in both dogs and horses. Click here to read the latest news.

One of Dr. Stramel's recent patients is a Great Dane named Pinky. At seven years old and 170 pounds, Pinky is considered a senior dog. In mid-2018, Pinky slipped on a wet driveway and ruptured her cruciate ligament. She was unable to put any weight on her right rear leg, which for a dog her size, makes life pretty complicated. She could no longer go on walks and struggled to get in and out of the car. Playing could only be done while Pinky was lying on the floor. She could not go up stairs and had trouble getting on the couch and into the bed. She also struggled to go to the bathroom.

After being told surgery was Pinky's only option, her owner, Rebecca, took Pinky to Dr. Stramel for a second opinion. As a Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner, Dr. Stramel is dedicated to providing an array of advanced pain-management techniques for his patients. For Pinky, he recommended treatment with the Pall V-PET™, in addition to acupuncture, laser therapy, and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Read this here.

Pinky received her first platelet therapy treatment on June 26th, 2018. After a simple blood collection, Pinky's blood was run through the specialized V-PET™ filter, which is designed to selectively capture platelets to produce a platelet concentrate. The concentrate was injected directly into Pinky's right knee. Platelets, when exposed to damaged tissue, are triggered to release growth factors that stimulate tissue repair. Since Pinky was both the donor and recipient, there was very little risk of rejection. Read here.

According to Dr. Stramel, Pinky noticeably improved eight days after receiving platelet therapy. Beginning in July, Pinky began weekly acupuncture and biweekly laser therapy sessions. On August 2nd, Pinky received a second injection utilizing the Pall V-PET™ kit. Like before, Pinky's blood was run through the V-PET™ filter and she received a concentrated dose of platelets into her right knee. Approximately two weeks after the second injection, Pinky was no longer limping. She received two more rounds of acupuncture and one more round of laser therapy at which point it was decided that Pinky was doing so well, she could discontinue both therapies. Currently, Pinky is maintained on one anti-inflammatory pill daily. Before and after videos of Pinky can be found here (after video in the comments). Be alert to read related news.

Though Pinky was non-weight bearing on her right rear leg prior to receiving platelet therapy, her mom reported that she was able to resume all of her normal activities after treatment. She goes on three walks a day, including one walk that is always over a mile. She jumps in and out of the car with ease and has no problem with stairs. Her mom said she has also run around the backyard chasing squirrels. Though Pinky is seven years old, a senior for a dog her size, she was able to bounce back from a torn cruciate ligament with the help of Dr. Stramel and Veterinary Platelet Enhancement Therapy. Pleased with Pinky's outcome, Rebecca stated, "I would highly recommend PRP as it was a miracle to see her recover so quickly." Read related news now.

MyTana Introduces New M745 Workhorse, First Drain Machine with Variable Speed and Torque Protection

MyTana, a manufacturer and distributor of cleaning, maintenance and inspection tools for the plumber and drain cleaning markets, has released the new M745 Workhorse drain machine. With MyTana's new M745 Workhorse, drain-cleaning professionals can now adjust cable speed on-the-fly for maximum performance, and choose among two torque settings for safety. Read here.

The M745 incorporates MyTana's proprietary new SmartDrive technology. With SmartDrive, cable speed can be throttled (up to 300 rpm) to negotiate turns, strengthen cleaning force, and expedite feeds and retrievals—or reduced (as low as 100 rpm) for tackling obstructions and debris. SmartDrive also includes calibrated torque protection which is designed to safeguard the operator and extend the life of the machine's cable. SmartDrive sounds an alarm when cable torque approaches unsafe limits and then automatically cuts power when that limit is reached. The limit can be set high for large drains or low for sink lines. Operators can also select how tension is released: quickly with little resistance, or slowly with more resistance.

A versatile machine, the M745 comes fully equipped to work in 3"-4" lines with 100' of cable, slip-joint fittings, autofeed, blades and accessories. A sinkline kit is available to address 1 ½"-2" lines, and no tools are needed to swap reels due to the quick-release design of the drive system.

The M745 is compact to fit in tight spaces, has non-skid feet and balanced weight for stabilization during operation and transport, offers a telescoping adjustable handle that retracts easily for storage, and has built-in stair-rollers for enhanced mobility.

"This new M745 Workhorse gives control to sewer and drain cleaning professionals that is unprecedented," says Dale Graber, general manager for MyTana. "The M745 is a high-performing machine that saves time and money by working more quickly and accurately, and in turn, protects the safety of the operator and the longevity of the cable."

The M745 Workhorse with SmartDrive is available through the MyTana website at http://www.mytana.com/throttle or call 1-866-327-7176.

About MyTana Manufacturing
St. Paul, Minnesota-based MyTana is a full-service manufacturer of drain cleaning and inspection equipment, including cable machines, drain jetters and plumber cameras.

Allergan Suspends Sales of Its Textured Breast Implants in Europe, Breast Implants Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)

In December 2018, Allergan, one of the world's largest manufacturer of breast implants, suspended sales of its textured implants in Europe after the implants were denied renewed safety certificates in France because of concerns about BIA-ALCL. The French regulatory agency and a British association of plastic surgeons have recommended the use of smooth-surface implants in place of textured-surface products. Both European regulators and the U.S. FDA will hold meetings in 2019 to review further the safety of all breast implants but for now, textured implants remain approved for use in the U.S. *

"ALCL is a extremely rare cancer of the immune system, and questions have been raised about whether the incidence is higher in women undergoing breast reconstruction with breast implants," says Dr. Constance M. Chen, board-certified plastic surgeon and breast reconstruction specialist. The incidence of ALCL in the breast is 3 cases of ALCL in 100 million women (0.000003%). Dr. Chen adds that "BIA-ALCL has been associated in women who have breast implants for both cosmetic and reconstructive reasons. Women who have breast implants for breast reconstruction due to mastectomy or for cosmetic breast augmentation are at equal risk for developing BIA-ALCL. The simple fact of having a breast implant - of any type, for any reason - in her body places a woman at higher risk of developing BIA-ALCL." Dr. Chen adds that the current literature estimates that BIA-ALCL may develop in 1 in 3,817 to 30,000 women with textured breast implants.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/04/frederick-innovative-technology-center_30.html

"While attention has been focused on textured breast implants, BIA-ALCL has actually been found in all types of breast implants: textured, smooth, silicone, saline," says Dr. Chen. As of 30 September 2017, the FDA had received 414 medical device reports of BIA-ALCL, including the death of 9 patients. Only 272 of the 414 reports included information on the implant surface. Of these cases, BIA-ALCL was found associated with 242 implants with textured surfaces and 30 implants with smooth surfaces. With regard to implant filling, BIA-ALCL was found associated with 234 implants filled with silicone gel and 179 implants filled with saline. About half of the reported cases were diagnosed within 7-8 years of breast implantation.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/proshred-arizona-announces-pilot.html

The backstory:
In 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first noted that the incidence of ALCL seemed slightly higher in patients with breast implants, but it was still very rare even in this population with 60 cases of ALCL worldwide in 5-10 million women (0.0006-0.0012%). Dr. Chen adds, "that at the time, many healthcare professionals believed that e incidence of ALCL in women with breast implants might have even been overestimated because some of the data collected may have been duplicate cases." However, in 2016 data collection improved due to an increased attention to ALCL and breast implants, and the World Health Organization (WHO) designated breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) as a T-cell lymphoma that can develop following breast implants.

Several recent journal articles explore risk factors for developing BIA-ALCL, including the role of biofilm. Dr. Chen notes that "textured implants have significantly more surface area than smooth implants, which may explain why there is a higher incidence of BIA-ALCL in textured implants than smooth implants." However, BIA-ALCL has clearly been found associated with every type of breast implant. Textured implants may be at slightly greater risk for ALCL than smooth implants, but findings are not conclusive. Dr. Chen points out that "this is important to note because many plastic surgeons have stopped using textured breast implants, but they continue using smooth breast implants. It is clearly not true that BIA-ALCL is limited to textured breast implants only. Since every type of breast implant has been associated with BIA-ALCL, it is a false sense of security to limit breast implant use to smooth breast implants. In reality, all types of breast implants can lead to BIA-ALCL."

Tips for Patients:
When ALCL occurs with breast implants, it is identified most frequently in patients undergoing implant revisions for late onset, persistent seroma (a fluid collection that develops around the implant), or other symptoms such as pain, lumps, swelling, or breast asymmetry. Dr. Chen advises that "any women experiencing these symptoms should see a plastic surgeon to be evaluated for BIA-ALCL."

The FDA already recommends that women with silicone breast implants undergo breast MRI every 2-3 years to evaluate for silent rupture of her silicone breast implants. Dr. Chen advises that if a patient with breast implants feels a change in her breasts, breast imaging can be obtained to evaluate for seroma. If a seroma is found, an interventional radiologist or a skilled breast radiologist can aspirate the seroma fluid to test for CD30 markers and lymphoma. If the cytology is positive, the patient will need to be treated.

Treatment of BIA-ALCL includes removal of the implant and capsule surrounding the implant and sometimes chemotherapy and radiation. If ALCL is diagnosed through imaging and testing of the fluid around the breast, treatment is generally the surgical removal of the implant and the entire capsule that surrounds it. In its early stages, all traces of cancer are generally removed by surgery. Further treatment is necessary only if all the cancer could not be removed or if the disease has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body.

Dr. Chen clarifies that the FDA does not currently recommend prophylactic breast implant removal in patients without symptoms or other abnormalities. At present, breast implants are still approved in the USA when used as labeled for breast augmentation or breast reconstruction, as the risk of ALCL is still considered to be small and inconclusive. All of this may soon change, however, as new and better data is collected on BIA-ALCL. More info here.

"Women with breast implants who want to have their breast implants removed have options," says Dr. Chen. A woman facing breast reconstruction after mastectomy can consider autologous reconstruction, in which a new breast is created from her own tissue. If she is not a candidate for autologous reconstruction or if she prefers implants, she must be aware of the risk of BIA-ALCL. A woman who had breast implants for cosmetic breast augmentation can have her breast implants removed and undergo natural breast augmentation or accept a smaller size breast. Dr. Chen concludes, "even though breast implants of all types are still approved for use in the United States, any woman who has breast implants or is considering breast implants should be aware of BIA-ALCL so that she can be fully educated and consider the potential repercussions of breast implants on her health and well-being."

Constance M. Chen, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with special expertise in the use of innovative natural techniques to optimize medical and cosmetic outcomes for women undergoing breast reconstruction. She is Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery) at Weill Cornell Medical College and Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery) at Tulane University School of Medicine. http://www.constancechenmd.com
