Mesa Science Associates to Present on Canine Epilepsy at The Kansas City Animal Health Corridor Annual Investors Meeting

Mesa Science Associates Inc. (MSA) announced today that MSA has been invited to present their work on Canine Epilepsy at the Kanas City Animal Health Corridor annual meeting to be held in Kansas City the week of August 26, 2019. MSA Principal Tim Warneke will present the MSA Canine Project in a podium presentation aimed at investors interested in the animal health space. Read news here.

MSA is a virtual company who until now has offered pharmaceutical consulting and management services to investigators who are developing new uses for old drugs and for those developing new pharmaceutical entities. MSA currently serves product developers from private companies as well as NIH sponsored investigators.

The Canine project is the first product to be owned by and developed under the MSA flag. The company is seeking funding to complete the Canine Project which is in advanced development. MSA principals decided to pursue this project after their research into human epilepsy revealed that annually there are over three million dogs in the U.S. suffering seizures with like numbers occurring in Europe. The company also discovered that there is no FDA approved treatment for canines that can be easily administered at home or away from professional veterinary facilities. Epileptic seizures are a medical emergency for both humans and canines requiring rapid treatment to protect the brain from serious injury. An emergency visit to a vet or hospital is costly in both time and dollars. The MSA concept is to obtain FDA approval for a drug in a device that will provide the pet owner with an easy and effective way to help break the seizure as soon as possible after it occurs and to help delay the onset of future seizures. This approach will provide the owner a cost-effective treatment that is timely and easy for the lay caregiver to administer.

Mr. Michael Mesa, President of MSA stated that "the company is excited by this project as it will hopefully extend the life of beloved pets and provide comfort to the pet owner who will be able to actively treat this dangerous condition in their own home. This, we believe, will result in an improved quality of life for both the dog and the owner."

MSA team members strong background in the development of products aimed at the emergency treatment of human epilepsy helped in the transition to canines. Mr. Mesa in a former position led the development of the autoinjector product used in the highly successful NIH Rampart Study. The Rampart Study showed that a drug in an autoinjectors could provide an effective out of hospital treatment for patients experiencing active seizures. Mr. Mesa and Mr. Warneke, while both at King Pharmaceuticals, collaborated on The RESCUE Study project, that was aimed at providing at-home-treatment of acute repetitive seizure.

Omaha, NE Oral Surgeons Relieve Impacted Wisdom Tooth Pain with Opioid-Free Extractions

The renowned oral surgeons at Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants in Omaha, NE offer patients experiencing wisdom tooth pain an option to receive gentle, effective wisdom teeth extractions. Trained in a hospital setting for up to six years beyond dental school, Drs. Jerome Wees, John Wewel, and Benjamin Anderson possess medical knowledge and surgical skills that are rare to dentistry. These oral surgeons use that experience to provide the most comprehensive and compassionate treatment for their patients with impacted wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth. Since most people don't have room for wisdom teeth, at some point along the eruption pathway, the wisdom teeth inevitably get stuck. This makes the timing of removing impacted wisdom teeth extremely significant. Because wisdom teeth develop during the late teenage and early adolescent years, an impacted wisdom tooth can easily be removed when a patient is still young. Youth increases the likelihood that a wisdom tooth is still in the proper location and the root hasn't fully formed yet. The longer a wisdom tooth remains in the mouth, the more time the roots have to fully form, and the greater the chance that the teeth will become solidly impacted.

The doctors of Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants highly recommend that patients receive a wisdom tooth extraction at the first sign of wisdom tooth pain. This will decrease the risk of complications and will provide quick relief from the corresponding pain.

Because wisdom tooth extraction is a treatment usually associated with pain and swelling, Drs. Wees, Wewel, and Anderson work carefully to ensure that patients experience the least amount of pain possible throughout the process. These oral surgeons offer patients EXPAREL®, an opioid-free pain relief option. EXPAREL allows patients to remain numb up to three days after extraction, giving them a nearly pain-free experience.

"This is important nowadays because we have a narcotic crisis," Dr. Wees explains describing EXPAREL. "Anything we can do to lower the suffering of our patients, and possibly and probably avoid the use of narcotics is very well advised."

Individuals in Omaha, NE with impacted wisdom teeth and those experiencing wisdom tooth pain are encouraged to connect with the oral surgeons at Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants. Patients can schedule an appointment for wisdom tooth extraction with or without a referral by calling 402-397-7777 or visiting http://www.midwestoms.com.

Sleep Cycle Institute 10-Year Anniversary Report: Each Year, Americans Are Picking Up an Extra Minute of Sleep

In honor of its 10th anniversary as the world's first and most popular smart alarm clock app, Sleep Cycle has today released its third Sleep Cycle Institute report.

This report includes more than 302 million nights' worth of sleep data for more than 4.3 million Sleep Cycle users in the U.S. and abroad. The report analyzes how our sleep patterns have collectively shifted in the last five years and how individual sleep patterns change as people move through different phases of life.

Sleep Cycle Institute experts also shared what they have learned in the past decade.

We're Sleeping More and Better — But We're Waking Up Grumpier

Taken as a whole, adults worldwide have been gaining about a minute of extra sleep each year. There have also been small, consistent gains in sleep quality. Strangely, this has not translated into better wake-up moods:

More info here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/a-kid-cell-phone-alternative-republic.html

2015 2019*
Average time spent in bed: 7hrs 13mins 7hrs 17mins

Average sleep quality: 72.6% &nbs p; 74.7%

Average wake-up mood: 60.2% 59%

By age demographic, women ages 55-74 saw the largest gains in total average sleep time (six minutes), while men ages 55-74 saw the smallest (two minutes). Men ages 18-34 saw the largest gain in sleep quality (2.7%), while men ages 55-74 saw the smallest (1.5%).

Meanwhile, it was also men ages 55-74 who saw the most dramatic decrease in their wake-up mood (down 3%), while women ages 18-34 saw the least dramatic decrease (down 0.6%).

*2019 data is only available for the months of January through April, so values may change by the year's end. However, data from previous years suggests that the changes are unlikely to be significant.

The Sleep Phases of Life

Sleep Cycle's data shows that "college-agers" (adults ages 18-22) and seniors (adults ages 56+) get more sleep, enjoy a higher quality of sleep, and have better wake-up moods than adults in the thick of their work and child-rearing years (ages 25-55). However, daily stress (as recorded in user sleep notes) peaks during the college years and declines steadily with age:

College-agers Mid-lifers Seniors
Average time in bed 7hrs 19mins 7hrs 10mins 7hrs 19mins

Average sleep quality 73.9% 73% &nb sp; 74.3%

Average wake-up mood 60.7% 57.5% 62.4%

Daily stress 5.1% 4.6% 4.1%

College-aged men get to bed the latest (12:39 a.m.) and wake up the latest (7:57 a.m.), and it is interesting to note that by the time these men recoup the nine minutes of sleep they lose between the ages of 25-55, they are getting to bed at 11:31 p.m. and waking up at 6:50 a.m. — a full hour earlier than in their youth — making them the earliest to rise and the second earliest to bed (after senior women).

It is also interesting to note that, on average, women get about 20 minutes more sleep than men and enjoy a higher quality of sleep in every phase of life. They also wake up in worse moods and report more daily stress than men.

Observations From the Experts

Sleep Cycle asked some of the Sleep Cycle Institute panelists what they've learned about sleep in the past decade. Australian sleep expert, neuroscientist and health educator Dr. Chelsie Rohrscheib and Frida Rångtell, Ph.D., a doctoral student in the Department of Neuroscience at Uppsala University, Sweden, both pointed to recent advancements in our understanding of sleep.

"Sleep is not a singular function," said Dr. Rohrscheib. "Many essential biological processes occur during sleep that are vital for our well being — regeneration of our tissues and cells, waste clearance from the brain, memory consolidation, and so much more."

"One of the greatest sleep-related discoveries of the past decade is a sleep-dependent cleansing process of the brain using something called the glymphatic system," added Dr. Rångtell. "When we sleep, liquid is flushed through the brain, which can clean out toxins and neuronal waste. Interruptions to this process appear to be related to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. That this important discovery was made so recently highlights how little we actually know about sleep and how much we still have to learn."

Natural sleep expert Dr. Catherine Darley also spoke about the importance of investing in a comfortable sleep environment to promote a good night's sleep.

"If there's some feature of your bedroom that's disrupting your sleep, change it," she said. "Invest in a comfortable bed and linens and put blackout shades on the windows. Remove any projects, clutter or visible LEDs. Make your bedroom a pleasant, relaxing place that restores you. It's incredible how improvements in sleep can improve other areas of people's lives — everything from more enjoyable relationships with loved ones to improved concentration at work and an increased sense of calm."

About Sleep Cycle
Sleep Cycle is the world's most popular intelligent alarm clock app that analyzes users' sleep, records findings and wakes them during their lightest sleep phase so they feel rested and refreshed. The app generates nightly sleep reports, tracks long-term sleep trends and logs how daily activities impact sleep quality. With millions of users worldwide, Sleep Cycle has also become the world's richest repository of data on global sleep habits. The newly formed Sleep Cycle Institute puts this data in the hands of five multidisciplinary health and wellness experts to provide individuals and public policy makers with deeper quantitative insights into the relationship between sleep and overall health and well-being.

Lucas Group Opens Nashville Office

Lucas Group, ranked sixth on Forbes' Best Professional Recruiting Firms list for 2019, announced that the firm is opening a new office in Nashville, TN to support the region's strong demand for top professional talent and rapid job growth. The Nashville office brings Lucas Group's recruiting expertise to 16 offices nationwide, with this new office expanding the firm's strong presence in the Southeast.

The Nashville region ranked as the top metropolitan area economy in the United States in POLICOM's 2019 community "economic strength" rankings, due to high annual job growth and low unemployment rates. The city's unemployment rate is at a historic low of 2.7%, which is complicating hiring efforts.

"In Nashville's candidate-driven market, job seekers can be more selective about which offer they accept," said Andi Jennings, Lucas Group CEO. "Lucas Group's proven, consultative search methodology gives businesses a competitive edge for landing top talent."

Lucas Group employs expert, localized search with national reach, tapping into a passive talent network to deliver a curated list of candidates uniquely suited to a company's talent needs.

"Nashville is one of the nation's hottest job markets and a business-as-usual approach to recruitment won't get top professionals in the door," said Aram Lulla, General Manager HR Executive Search. "Our Nashville office may be new, but our recruiters have deep local roots. That's why we can connect companies with exceptional passive candidates that a standard search won't find."

The Nashville office will open with a focus on the following practice areas: Accounting & Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology and Manufacturing. Joining Lucas Group to lead the Nashville office are Lindsay Davis (Accounting & Finance), Chris Abrams (Human Resources), Sam McDonald (Information Technology), and Nate Erdtmann (Manufacturing).

The Nashville office will be located at One Nashville Place, 150 4th Avenue N, Suite 1325 and can be contacted at 1-800-466-4489.

ironSource Pioneers Supply Chain Safety for Brands with App-ads.txt

Leading mobile monetization and marketing company ironSource announced a milestone in its implementation of the app-ads.txt protocol, reaching a validated audience of over 300,000,000 daily active users. ironSource achieves this reach through partnerships with the world's leading gaming publishers, representing one of the largest pools of available verified in-app inventory.

While research has shown that fraud is significantly less prevalent in-app than on the mobile web, over half of advertisers limit their mobile in-app investment based on fraud fears. App-ads.txt allows advertisers to know who is and isn't authorized to buy and sell specific in-app ad inventory, reducing potentially fraudulent activity, and easing their concerns.

Working closely with the IAB Tech Lab during the beta period, ironSource has made the implementation of app-ads.txt a priority initiative to help publishers and developers using its ad network to gain the trust of brand marketers and increase ease of accessibility to their premium inventory. As one of the largest platforms managing in-app video inventory, ironSource's emphasis on app-ads.txt implementation will accelerate the adoption of the protocol globally.
