Renowned Atlanta foot and ankle surgeons, Robert Weinstein, DPM, and Clay Taylor, DPM, of the Ankle & Foot Centers of America, have performed the first ankle joint replacement in Atlanta using the state-of the art Paragon 28 Apex 3D system.
This System is FDA cleared and designed to address the inherent challenges of ankle replacement surgery by using specially contoured components that help reduce persistent pain and restore natural motion.
"The Paragon 28 Apex 3D system has a significantly higher success rate compared to older legacy devices," says Dr. Weinstein. "Patients who receive these implants can expect them to last longer and require fewer revisions than earlier generation implants."
According to Dr. Taylor, the new implant system offers patients an alternative to joint fusion. "Patients who present with end stage arthritis but wish to remain active can benefit from this procedure. Replacement provides relief from arthritic pain while maintaining relatively normal kinematics."
The doctors' recent case involved a patient who had developed profound post-traumatic arthritis in the ankle joint and who was unable to enjoy getting out with friends and family. After rounds of unsuccessful conservative care, the patient elected ankle joint replacement for definitive treatment. The patient not only had extensive arthritis, but angular anomalies in the leg and the hindfoot, which would normally pose real challenges to the surgeon regarding implant alignment and seating. However using this new implant system allowed the doctors to place the implant in an optimal position with relatively little difficulty. According to both doctors, this will lead to a speedier recovery and a more natural motion to the ankle. In the end, it is about giving our patients the best outcomes possible and the greatest opportunity to remain active and pain free for as long as they can.
Dr. Weinstein and Dr. Taylor are both highly skilled surgeons who perform complex reconstructive foot surgery at Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, Georgia. Contact the Ankle & Foot Centers of Georgia today to learn more about our services or to schedule a consultation.

As a national nonprofit connecting technology donors with organizations serving people in need of computers, Digitunity supports the state of Arkansas in working with community-based groups to close the digital divide afflicting the state's marginalized residents. They do this through their Digital Opportunity Network, comprised of 1,500 organizations across the U.S.
In July, Heartland Forward, a Bentonville nonprofit, announced the organization of a coalition of over a dozen Arkansas-based organizations. Its goal is to expand internet access throughout the state by supporting local initiatives and securing federal funding to ensure high-speed internet is more accessible and affordable across Arkansas.
According to findings from the Arkansas State Broadband Manager's Report, as of June 2020, Arkansas is 50th in the nation for broadband coverage. Only 79% of the state's population has internet service with speeds of at least 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. As recently as 2022, there are still 210,000 households in the state lacking adequate broadband access.
"Having a connected computer and the skills to use it productively is a fundamental need in today's society," said Scot Henley, executive director of Digitunity. "Since its founding, Digitunity has partnered with several nonprofit organizations in Arkansas, with wide-ranging missions from youth-focused projects to life skills and digital literacy for adult learners, all with a shared mission of bridging the technology gap."
Digitunity has six Digital Opportunity Network members in the state:
The North Central Career Center of Leslie
The Conway County Center for Exceptional Children of Morrilton
Carter's Crew of Little Rock
The Arkansas Adult Learning Resource Center of Little Rock
Shirley Community Service and Development Corporation of Shirley
Northeast Arkansas Innovative Training Center of Jonesboro
These distribution partners provide technology to adults looking for jobs, schoolchildren, and nonprofit organizations like career and technical centers. As of 2021, Digitunity and its Network have distributed 273 devices in Arkansas. Their body of work connecting donors of technology with recipient organizations serving people in need spans nearly 40 years.
Since Digitunity's inception, thousands of people have benefitted from its efforts. Its perspective has been shaped by decades of experience creating local impact through the benefit of a national lens. As an independent, national nonprofit focused on advancing digital equity through device ownership, Digitunity is unique in the digital inclusion landscape.
One way Digitunity demonstrates this uniqueness is by partnering with local organizations and governments to benefit members of these communities. One such way they're doing this is by helping state and local governments, like those in Arkansas, create digital equity plans. This action was inspired by the landmark Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will expand broadband infrastructure and enable eligible households to obtain home broadband access and a connected device. Digitunity sees this initiative as an opportunity to help the state of Arkansas as they develop a digital equity plan. The goal of this plan is to expand access to connected devices for all Arkansas residents.
In response, the organization has developed recommendations for state digital equity plans. This expertise in both supply and community distribution gives Digitunity the ability to effectively partner with coalitions, cities, and states to create sustainable device access solutions. To learn more about Digitunity's digital equity planning work, please visit digitunity.org.
About Digitunity Since the 1980s, Digitunity has advanced digital inclusion by connecting donors of technology with organizations serving people in need. Our mission is to ensure everyone who needs a computer has one, along with robust internet connectivity and digital literacy skills. To learn more about our mission, please visit www.digitunity.org.

US-India Conference Event at San Francisco's BayEcotarium
5th U.S.-India Conference BayEcotarium\/Aquarium of the Bay, President & CEO George Jacob shares the importance of working together to grow the world's economy while being sustainable.
More than 100 global CEOs and leaders of some of the world's most influential companies reflected on recent innovations and actions to combat climate change at a special dinner for the opening of the Fifth Berkeley Innovation Forum. The Smithsonian-affiliated Aquarium of the Bay hosted the primary session, and the final session of the event took place at another branch of the BayEcotarium, the Bay Model in Sausalito.
The 5th annual US-India Conference took place at the Speaker Forum on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Executives, professionals, academics, students from both India and the U.S., and key members of U.S.-India trade and economic bodies attended the dinner to exchange ideas in an open forum.
"The world is changing at a quick and dramatic pace, and new orientations and alignments are needed from the world's major economies," said George Jacob, President and CEO of BayEcotarium. "India and the U.S. must work together to shape and ensure mutual prosperity and peace around the globe."
R. Mukundan, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at Tata Chemicals in India, spoke about the importance of corporate responsibility to support climate resiliency in an interview that evening. "We believe that conservation, protecting biodiversity and working on climate change cannot be done by one company," Mukundan said. "It has to be done by partnership and ecosystems. If by coming to these forums we can connect with like-minded people, we would like to find them, work with them, and share what we know."
At the closing session held at the Bay Model in Sausalito, Professor Solomon Darwin (Haas School of Business University of California Berkeley) opened the final session. Presentations included industrial activities on the planet, how sustainability is key for the future, and best business practices to thrive in the modern business world. The forum included time for open discussion and question-and-answer sessions.

BOCA RATON, Fla. - October 14, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Dr. Svetlana Faktorovich, Neurologist at the Boca Raton Regional Hospital, and founding member of the Ukraine Neurology Initiative, is honored to announce another successful delivery of epilepsy medication to 103 children in war-torn Ukraine.
The humanitarian effort was completed in collaboration with Brothers Brother Foundation (BBF), the Israel Ministry of Health, Sar-el and Melanie Kelfer, the president of Operation Mordechai.
Vigabatrin is a critical medication used to treat very severe and dangerous forms of epilepsy. The medication is difficult to obtain due to a worldwide shortage. 103 children in Ukraine were in desperate need of the medication, but due to the onset of war, it has been unavailable for donation or purchase anywhere in the U.S. or Europe. Even prior to the war in Ukraine, neurological medication treating epilepsy was not prioritized by humanitarian organizations. Infantile spasms, the epilepsy disorder dependent on Vigabatrin, has a very high rate of mortality and permanent disability.
Yoram Naor, the Honorary Consul General of Belize in Israel, brought immediate attention to the issue of the vigabatrin shortage to the Israel Ministry of Health and Sar-el, an Israeli nonprofit logistics organization.
Sar-el and the Government of Israel deployed volunteers and soldiers to 22 hospitals around Israel to collect significant supplies of medication Israel had in stock. Brothers Brother Foundation purchased the epilepsy medication at a significant discount. Within one week, the first night of Rosh Hashanah, the medication was shipped to Ukraine.
The medication was delivered to the Nicholas Children's Hospital in Lviv, into the hands of Dr. Olha Tychkivska, a pediatric neurologist. Dr. Tychkivska is currently spearheading the effort to distribute the medication to Ukrainian children in need.
….
Ukraine Neurology Initiative is a collaboration between Brothers Brother Foundation (BBF), a Pittsburgh-based humanitarian organization, with eight neurologists across the U.S. and Ukraine. UNI is committed to purchasing and supplying large quantities of epilepsy medications through Boca Raton Regional Hospital and distributing to those in need in Ukraine.
Ukrainian League Against Epilepsy, comprised of epileptologists in Ukraine, is in direct touch with thousands of epilepsy patients in Ukraine and is dedicated to assisting with the distribution of the critical medication to patients in need.

Company Prepares for Colder Months, Possible New COVID-19 Variants, and Responds to Customer Requests for High-Quality Masks in a Variety of Colors
MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. - October 14, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Bona Fide Masks Corp. (www.bonafidemasks.com), part of the Ball Chain Manufacturing Co., Inc. (Ball Chain) family of companies out of Mount Vernon, New York, makes significant investments to prepare for the colder months and potential new COVID-19 variants. In the beginning of Q4 '21, Bona Fide Masks® faced an unprecedented surge in demand due to the rapid emergence of the Omicron variant that drove global concern. As the company prepares for the season, President Bill Taubner reassures his customers, "We have scaled our company over the last year to ensure we are ready for any level of demand surge. We have made several capital investments that allow our family-owned and operated business to meet a competitive enterprise-level strategy. We want our customers to know they can depend on us, and we are here for them."
Earlier this June, Bona Fide Masks named third-party logistics partner (3PL), Deliverr, their strategy partner to support fulfillment, warehousing, and inventory management for the NY-based company. Additionally, Bona Fide Masks selected ShipBob® as their international Canadian 3PL partner, optimizing international deliveries while eliminating custom fees. Since these announcements, Bona Fide Masks is proud to establish four strategically located fulfillment centers in the United States and one in Canada. Collectively, these warehouses hold approximately 30 million masks in stock ready to ship within 24 hours. By leveraging these fulfillment centers, Bona Fide Masks can maintain competitive shipping services that align with the thriving e-commerce marketplace.
The mask marketplace is complicated and confusing for many. In response, Bona Fide Masks has maintained an unwavering commitment to buyer confidence through a transparent business model and direct supply chain. The company has curated best-in-class product offerings which include the highest quality mask producers such as Powecom®, Harley Commodity®, DemeTECH®, and Chengde Technologies®. A key differentiator for Bona Fide Masks is its direct relationships with each of its partners to deliver customers the utmost protection in its supply chain integrity. To date, Bona Fide Masks is the exclusive distributor for Powecom KN95 products in the U. S. and the Authorized Distributor for Harley, DemeTECH and Chengde Technologies.
"Since masks have become a part of so many of our customers' everyday lives, we have been working with Powecom® to offer a variety of colors in the KN95 masks for both adults and children. Just this week, we launched a multi-color pack for adults that includes yellow, green, red, sky blue and a denim blue. And we are currently working with Powecom's product team and will be offering pink and denim blue colors in our headband KN95 masks along with the black and white colors. Part of our success is listening to our customers. So many customers share their disbelief that I post my mobile phone on all our company communications. As a 4th generation, family-owned business, my customers are part of our family. I believe it's what makes our company so special that we know our customers and they help continue to shape our growth. With school mask mandates last fall, I had several parents ask me if we would consider offering our high-quality masks in a variety of kid-favored colors. We now offer our Powecom KN95-SM mask in blue, red, green, purple, yellow and sky blue. We are delighted to fulfill on our customer requests and continue to grow our company together." - Bill Taubner.
In addition to Bona Fidel Masks®' authentic and high-quality masks offering, the company recently launched a new product on its website, Celltrion DiaTrust™ Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Test. The addition of this product is the result of a new distribution agreement between both companies naming Bona Fide Masks as Celltrion's Authorized Distributor. Celltrion Healthcare is a leading and globally recognized healthcare company with subsidiaries in 32 countries, 38 global partners, and products sold in 110 countries around the world.
As Bona Fide Masks leads into the fall season, the company continues its impact initiatives donating 1 million KN95 masks to organizations in need. "Your incredible philanthropic initiative to donate a million masks is commendable and greatly appreciated by small universities and organizations more than you can imagine. Every dollar counts during these unstable economic times, and ensuring that our students, faculty, staff, and patients have personal protective equipment is more important than ever." - Jill Thornton, Pacific University. As of today, Bona Fide Masks has granted over 127 non-profits with 2,400 KN95 masks thanks to customer nominations. These efforts will continue over the next several weeks until they meet their 1 million mask donation promise.

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine - October 14, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
VELO just announced its innovative product of hard-side luggage that can expand to suit the needs of any traveler. This durable and sleek suitcase can instantly transform into 3 different sizes with 2 simple steps: Press - Pull/Compress! Designed to be an all-in-one solution for either business or leisure travel, VELO is the perfect choice to travel smarter and more efficiently. Now this unique piece is launching soon on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/veloluggage/3-in-1-expandable-hardside-luggage
VELO is a revolutionary suitcase that combines 3 sizes into one compact body using a clever and patented expandable design. The design allows VELO to instantly transform between a 16" carry-on suitcase, a 22" compact check-in suitcase, and a 26" extra-large check-in suitcase. It's the world's first hard-side luggage that can expand to twice its volume in seconds. The secret lies in the patented extra-wide handle that keeps the suitcase stable while being towed, and at the click of a button that allows the hard sides of the suitcase to slide up or down. When the appropriate size is reached, the handle locks the configuration and then retracts into a recessed area for safety and style. Speaking of choosing the right luggage, VELO is the best for saving time, money, and storage space. It lets you travel conveniently with the perfect-sized luggage at all times, eliminates the need to purchase multiple luggage, and saves storage space for them.
"As business travelers ourselves, we know the pain of traveling with improperly sized luggage. A carry-on is not enough for several days, but often a full-size suitcase is too much. Not to mention the difficulty of storing multiple pieces of luggage at home or in an apartment. Our goal with VELO 3-in1 expandable luggage was to create the ultimate suitcase, one that could transform as needed to perfectly suit the nature of the journey. All travel is not created equally so VELO grows and adapts to any trip regardless of duration or distance. Along with incredibly high-quality components and life-long durability, we believe it is the last suitcase you will ever need!" - Markus, VELOFounder
VELO is built to last, beginning with its durable AAA class 6063 aluminum frame, and shell that is surrounded by 70% polycarbonate material from Bayer. VELO also works with the top manufacturer that serves major global brands such as Samsonite, Delsey, and Kirkland. Moreover, the 360-degree silent wheels let it roll smoothly on a variety of surfaces. The suitcase features the newest version of the tamper-proof TSA luggage lock for extra safety when traveling.
VELO 3-in-1 Expandable Hardside Luggage can effortlessly switch between 3 popular sizes to perfectly suit the needs of any journey. This space-saving & eco-friendly design is the ultimate all-in-one travel solution. VELO is launching on Kickstarter at 11 AM, 18th October EDT with special pricing and incentives for early adopters.
