PALO ALTO, Calif., July 11, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Neuma InnovationsTM, creator of the original Neuma ClampTM that deters and detects central line abuse by IVDU (intravenous drug using) patients, today announced the development of a new disinfecting cap that prevents reuse and is tamper-evident.
"We've been working closely with infusion professionals since 2015 to design solutions to problems associated with central line blood infections. We learned that about 28% of caregivers use the same disinfecting cap more than once, which obviously compromises the caps' effectiveness. Our team set out to design a simple device that, because it can't be reattached after the first use, dramatically improves compliance," said Hal Rucker, President of Neuma Innovations. "The added benefit is that our cap also protects lines from patients who use their lines to self-inject illicit drugs."
NO CHANGES TO WORKFLOWS
The Neuma CapTM disinfects, approaches 100% compliance, minimizes the harmful consequences of abuse by IVDU patients, facilitates the discharge to SNF and OPAT care, and fits seamlessly into existing workflows.
"The Neuma Cap genuinely ensures the enforcement of single-use protocols while its price point remains on par with comparable alternatives," said Amy Duncan, Director of Business Development. "The ingenuity of Neuma's product lies in its indistinguishable resemblance to conventional disinfecting caps without requiring any changes in workflow. From the perspective of clinicians, the Neuma Cap is a frictionless industry disrupter for optimal patient care."

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J., July 11, 2023 (Newswire.com) - University Reproductive Associates (URA) and Diamond Institute today announced a merger that will create one of the most technologically advanced networks of fertility clinics in northern New Jersey and New York, as well as the most personalized. Both URA and Diamond Institute have built their successes on excellence in care, from initial evaluation to guidance on financial assistance. That care will now be available at six offices in six counties. New Jersey offices: Hasbrouck Heights in Bergen County, Wayne in Passaic County, Millburn in Essex County, Denville in Morris County and Hoboken in Hudson County. New York office: Goshen in Orange County.
According to Peter McGovern, M.D., a founding physician at URA, the merger will result in a new level of fertility care and solutions as more treatment options will be available, delivered with the one-on-one, personal care for which both organizations are known among their patients. URA is already the first and only fertility clinic network in New Jersey to offer the LifeAire in-duct air purification system, leading to a 15%-20% higher chance of successful implantation and pregnancy. URA is also the only network of fertility clinics in New Jersey to offer robotic surgery using the da Vinci® Surgical System.
From Diamond Institute, the merger will bring to URA two leading fertility specialists in New Jersey, Dr. Matan Yemini and Dr. Ndidiamaka Onwubalili. Dr. Yemeni brings 30 years of experience focusing interest, practice and research on the spectrum of issues associated with reproductive endocrinology and infertility treatment. Dr. Yemeni is bilingual, also speaking Hebrew. Dr. Onwubalili, aka "Dr. O," is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology. She is a Fellow of the American Congress of Obstetricians, and her clinical and research focus includes polycystic ovarian syndrome, fertility preservation, uterine fibroids, and minimally invasive surgery.
"There's no doubt that URA provides families-to-be with higher chances than most fertility clinics through technology. Combined with the warm, personal care that's already our standard with each and every couple, I think the merger will create something even better than the sum of its parts," Dr. Onwubalili said.

FELLSMERE, Fla., July 11, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Watercress continues to top the charts, packed with over 50 essential nutrients and recognized as the only food to receive a perfect score from ANDI and the CDC. This healthy, flavorful leafy green delivers a potent portion of health benefits. Watercress is a superfood with a distinctive taste that stands out from the muted flavors of other leafy greens. With so many nutrients being recognized in this one leafy green, we want to focus our attention on some of the critical nutrients.
Vitamin A supports the immune system, eye health reproduction, and growth and development. Vitamin A helps your heart, lungs, and other organs work properly. In addition, studies show that people whose diet is high in Vitamin A or beta-carotene can have a lower risk of certain kinds of cancer.
Vitamin C shields the body against free radicals and supports the normal function of blood vessels. Vitamin C has also been shown to aid in the healing of wounds and assist in iron absorption and neurological function.
B Vitamins are a family of vitamins that uniquely keep our bodies healthy and energized. B Vitamins help convert energy from carbohydrates to fuel, assist fat cells in breaking down amino acids, and aid in transporting oxygen and energy-containing nutrients around the body.
Vitamin K supports blood clotting and is necessary for calcium absorption to strengthen bones. Vitamin K is also shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and could be a key component in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Vitamin E is a nutrient critical to vision, reproduction, and your blood, brain, and skin health. Vitamin E also has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants may protect your cells from free radicals and can play a role in heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for total health and a robust immune system, and it supports keeping infections at bay. Research shows that zinc aids every step of the immune process, from the growth and development of immune cells to their fight against upsetting agents, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
Watercress's highly absorbable iron is one of the best ways to incorporate iron and help your body carry oxygen to cells, playing a significant part in the immune system process. The iron in Watercrcress helps maintain your energy levels, impacting how your body feels. In addition, iron builds up your immune cells, allowing them to reach full maturity and optimally perform.
Magnesium is crucial in muscle function, your nervous system, and energy production. Magnesium is also a critical stabilizing nutrient for blood sugar and blood pressure and helps your body rest and recover.
Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones and muscles. Additionally, calcium supports your heart and nervous system.
Potassium helps maintain normal fluid levels inside our cells. Potassium also helps muscles to contract and supports normal blood pressure.
PEITC (Phenethyl isothiocyanate) is a naturally occurring isothiocyanate whose precursor, is gluconasturtiin. PEITC has been shown to have chemo-preventive effects in cell and animal studies of cancer.
Protein is a critical part of the processes to fuel your energy and carry oxygen throughout your body in your blood. In addition, protein helps make antibodies that fight off infections and illnesses, keep cells healthy, and creates new ones.
Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. Break down food, grow and repair tissue, make hormone and brain chemicals, create an energy source, maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails, build muscle, boost your immune system, and sustain a regular digestive system.
