The noted Atlanta, Georgia urgent care, along with providing the new COVID-19 vaccine, offers need-to-know knowledge about the booster that targets Omicron subvariants, BA.4 and BA.5.

ATLANTA - September 29, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

As the new bivalent COVID-19 booster makes its way to the public, Atlanta, Georgia urgent care WestsideMed answers burning questions about the new shot.

On September 1st, 2022, CDC director Rochelle P. Walensky, M.D., M.P.H., endorsed using the new COVID-19 booster. 

The experts at WestsideMed, led by its founder, emergency medicine & family nurse practitioner Ariel Esteves, shine a light on the basics of the bivalent booster and how it helps people combat the dominant Omicron variant.

The Omicron Variant In Georgia

In November 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) labeled what we now know as the Omicron variant as a Variant of Concern. The ease of transmissibility was unlike previous forms of COVID-19, leading to a monumental surge in the United States.

In WestsideMed's home state of Georgia, the Omicron variant was especially transmissible.

"In fact, in Georgia, health systems experienced a staggering 100% to 200% hospitalizations in a weeklong period in late December 2021. And we experienced much of the same with the newer Omicron subvariants," says Esteves.

After the initial wave of the Omicron surge in 2021 and early 2022, two subvariants, BA.4 and BA.5, appeared in late spring and early summer.

"And Omicron's transmissibility and virulence increased with the spread of the dominant BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants," Esteves continues. "With them, the ease of transmissions via spike protein mutations has increased significantly."

Ariel Esteves assures Atlantans that this booster promises to bolster immune responses to the new subvariants.

"While these subvariants are more resistant to antibodies of the original virus, your body  willrecognize BA.4 and BA.5," says Esteves. "In short, being vaccinated will still give you protection against severe illness and death."

The Atlanta urgent care ensures that COVID-19 vaccines are available to all adults who need them. 

And the Atlanta urgent care stresses testing oneself for COVID-19, as the symptoms are similar to other medical conditions like strep throat and mono, which causes extreme fatigue.

Checking Medical Boxes With WestsideMed

Along with dispensing medical advice on its blog, WestsideMed provides quick, safe, and effective medical care in its Atlanta location on Marietta Boulevard.

With its team of talented medical providers, led by emergency medicine & family nurse practitioner Ariel Esteves, the Atlanta urgent care ensures that patients needing a quick medical fix are within their grasp.

Whether it's a quick checkup to ensure optimal health, treating sports injuries, or giving EKG readings in Atlanta, the urgent care promises to provide a safe environment for everyone.

The new round of COVID-19 bivalent boosters is just one more way to effortlessly take care of one's health at this Atlanta urgent care.

William H. Harris, MD, Honored for His Six-Decade-Long Career in Orthopaedics and Transformative Contributions in the Field of Hip Replacements

EVERETT, Mass. - September 29, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Orthopaedic Summit Evolving Techniques (OSET), the non-profit organization dedicated to educational advancement in orthopaedics, with Orthopaedic Surgeon Wayne G. Paprosky, MD (pictured at far left) from Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to 94-year-old William H. Harris, MD, (pictured at far right) Founder and Director Emeritus of the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harris Orthopaedics Laboratory. (Pictured second from left) is Orthopaedic Surgeon Kevin D. Plancher, MD, MPH, Founder of OSET and Ivan Tornos, President & COO of Zimmer Biomet (pictured third from left).

Dr. Harris will forever be known for his invention of the Harris Hip Score (HHS), used for evaluating patient-reported outcomes in hip arthroplasty and later his important discovery into effective prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) after hip surgery, which has saved many lives. His laboratory helped unravel a totally new, destructive disease damaging total hip and total knee reconstruction. They then innovated a new material, which improved the new prosthetic bearing surface, eliminating that bone destruction and greatly extending the life of total joint implants. His Harris Harvard Hip Course was the seminal course that set the bar for education in total joints for years to come.

Democratizes access to clinical research in Africa by diversifying participant cohorts and shortening drug development timelines

CASABLANCA, Morocco - September 29, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Today, UM6P Ventures announced its investment in Infiuss Health. The startup is developing a decentralized SaaS platform to power remote research and clinical trials in Africa. 

Pharmacological companies attempt to include a large and varied population within their phased trial cohorts to prove their medical thesis. However, Africans, a significant group of genetically diverse participants, are not traditionally well represented within their demographic profile, rendering their trial outcomes potentially skewed.

There is a need for researchers to select a wider range of people from different demographics to participate in clinical research to reduce bias, promote health equity, and produce innovative scientific findings.

To date, Africa's participation is only a small percentage of the global clinical trials landscape, as a result of the regulatory and ethical implications of clinical trials. To that end, several individual regulatory bodies have joined efforts to ensure that clinical trials in African countries are conducted in accordance with international best clinical practices and ethical standards. Thus, with new regulatory structures in place in Africa, medicinal effectiveness and availability will be improved. In fact, Infiuss Health only services sponsors that have previously been approved by the U.S. FDA, which ensures that trials comply with the exacting framework required by U.S. regulations. 

Infiuss Health provides clinical trial access to African participants and allows pharmaceutical companies to conduct and monitor these trials via the Infiuss Health Probe Platform. Through their direct-to-participant approach, they help corporate and academic researchers diversify their cohorts by connecting them directly to thousands of eligible African participants to take part in their clinical studies. 

"Our main mission is to make clinical research accessible to all Africans. We're very pleased to have UM6P Ventures' support as Infiuss Health continues to grow African clinical trials that will have enormous benefits, including improved healthcare and patient outcomes.", stated Melissa Bime, CEO and Founder of Infiuss Health. 

Through a single dashboard, the all-in-one software platform helps companies identify and select the right sites for trials, manage the entire research process, remotely recruit participants, collect remote consent, gather, and analyze data and provide virtual support faster and cheaper than third-party contract research organizations. 

"The clinical trial phase is decisive in the pharmacological development lifecycle. This is a branch of our Healthtech investment thesis that we have been actively investigating. The Infiuss Health team brings a solution, expertise, and experience that adds critical elements to our health science and technology ecosystem. We are confident in their ability to deliver on their value proposition and contribute to the improvement of the health system in Africa," said Yasser Biaz, CEO of UM6P Ventures.

• Partnering with community-based organizations.
• Offering resources that support clinical and social needs.
• Collecting data on community social risk factors and patients' social needs.
• Making clear to members and patients how their data is used, shared and protected.

• Novant Health's Coastal Communities, Greater Charlotte Market, Greater Winston-Salem Market 
• Simply Healthcare Plans, Inc., an Elevance Health Company 
• UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Inc. (MI)

"Overcoming disparities in care and health outcomes takes cooperation and commitment, both inside and between organizations," said NCQA President Margaret E. O'Kane. "We're honored these nine organizations partnered with NCQA and community groups to prize and improve health equity. They are the vanguard of making equitable care a reality, and we congratulate them on this achievement."

"The success of these organizations in earning Health Equity Accreditation Plus is a credit to these health plans and health systems. It's also an important validation of the NCQA health equity standards," said NCQA Director of Health Equity Initiatives Dr. Bryan O. Buckley, DrPH, MPH. "As more states require Health Equity Accreditation, these first organizations to earn Health Equity Accreditation Plus will stand out as examples for others to emulate."
