Orlando, FL (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Space‐Time Insight, the leading provider of next‐generation situational intelligence solutions, today announced that its visual and geospatial analytics software has been integrated with the SAP HANA Platform, tapping into HANA’s powerful in-memory database to meet growing user demands for rich, real-time analysis of business and operational data. At SAP’s invitation, the combined solution will be demonstrated at the SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG Annual Conference, May 14-16 in Orlando, Florida in the SAP HANA ecosystem and innovation test-drive pod in the database and technology campus (DT 228).

Space-Time Insight’s suite of situational intelligence solutions helps organizations with critical infrastructure derive business value from massive volumes of data and to anticipate and respond in real-time to events that impact critical infrastructure. Space-Time Insight federates and correlates real-time and historical business and operational data from multiple sources, and transforms it into intuitive visual and analytical displays from which users can make faster, more-informed decisions.

Space-Time Insight uses SAP HANA to acquire and process large volumes and wide varieties of data in real-time, dynamically introduce new KPIs without re-indexing, and execute native analytics scripts to filter data in and transform it into intuitive visual interfaces. The SAP HANA Platform dramatically improves the real-time performance of this functionality with in-memory software that allows large volumes of many types of data to be processed and queried at high speeds. This is especially advantageous for organizations with widely dispersed assets and resources — such as utilities, and oil and gas and transportation companies — that require up-to-the-second insights and need to dynamically traverse all aspects of their business, from executive down to plant level, to make quick decisions and respond rapidly to changing operational conditions.

At SAPPHIRE NOW, SAP and Space-Time Insight executives will be offering live demonstrations of the joint solution, highlighting how situational intelligence software can leverage an in-memory database to enhance asset performance and reliability, and to reduce risk and costs. The demonstration is also available online at the following link: http://bit.ly/Space-TimeInsight-HANADemo.

“Space-Time Insight’s situational intelligence software and the SAP HANA Platform are a powerful combination,” said Rob Schilling, CEO of Space-Time Insight. “Imagine being able to not only quickly identify the location and cause of a malfunctioning asset, but to also have visibility into the economic, risk, safety and service implications for all customers within a five-mile radius of that asset. By facilitating prompt remedial action with insights like these, Space-Time Insight is changing the way organizations utilize data to make critical decisions.”

Space-Time Insight’s software is deployed at some of the largest utilities and oil and gas companies in North America and around the world. The company’s Situational Intelligence Suite for Utilities includes comprehensive solutions for Smart Meters, Smart Grids, Assets and Renewables.

About Space-Time Insight

DoctorsHealthPress.com Supports Study Showing Chinese Medicine Helps Reduce Muscle Loss

Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 06, 2012

The Doctors Health Press, a publisher of various natural health newsletters, books and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is lending its support to a recent study showing that acupuncture therapy mitigates skeletal muscle loss. This has big implications for improving health among older adults and medical patients who have weakened muscles.

As reported in Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin on Friday, May 4, 2012 (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/general-health-2/how-chinese-medicine-strengthens-your-muscles), the researchers believe acupuncture is the main alternative treatment for dealing with skeletal muscle atrophy. Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body.

Loss of muscle mass has a profound effect on the ability of many people to engage in physical activity. One preferred way to prevent atrophy is to use such interventions as exercise training, improved nutrition and mechanical stimulation. But these can be quite challenging for those who are already frail or who have severe medical conditions.

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article reports that the researchers strongly believe that an alternative approach is urgently needed for these individuals. And that is why they decided to explore how acupuncture affects skeletal muscle at the molecular level. And there, they found very encouraging results.

It was a preliminary study, performed on mice, as is the norm, and it found that the cellular changes that cause muscle loss could be “significantly reversed by acupuncture.”

The World Health Organization has endorsed acupuncture as a treatment for a variety of diseases. Yet many people (doctors and patients, alike) regard it suspiciously. And researchers have not dipped very much into understanding the molecular ways acupuncture works in the body.

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article reports also reports that the new study found one such molecular mechanism responsible for acupuncture’s effectiveness. It was found, in this case, very useful in preventing skeletal muscle atrophy in mice. While more studies will be needed in the future to address this link, older adults dealing with this health issue may find help in the offices of a Chinese medicine practitioner or licensed and experienced acupuncturist.

What is causing the obesity epidemic—and how can we stop it? A new website offers authoritative answers to these pressing questions.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 11, 2012

What is causing the obesity epidemic—and how can we stop and reverse this worldwide weight problem? A new website offers authoritative answers to pressing questions about child obesity and adult obesity and sheds light on one of the most challenging public health threats of our time.

The Obesity Prevention Source website, launched by the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), aims to give the public, health professionals, public health practitioners, business and community leaders, and policymakers quick and easy access to science-based information about obesity’s causes, its dire consequences, and what can and must be done to turn back obesity’s global spread.

“You can find lots of websites about weight loss or obesity control, but few provide comprehensive, timely, and science-based information on this global health problem—a problem that is preventable,” said Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at HSPH and co-editorial director of the website.

The website is available at http://www.obesitypreventionsource.org.

Created by the same HSPH nutrition experts behind the popular and authoritative website The Nutrition Source (http://www.thenutritionsource.org), The Obesity Prevention Source website accepts no subsidies or commercial support from any industry, so that it can deliver an unbiased perspective on obesity prevention.

The website offers several key features:

    Concise summaries of groundbreaking research on obesity’s causes—from the earliest influences in the womb to the pervasive influence of an environment that’s hostile to healthy eating and has daunting barriers to active living.

    Roadmaps to promising strategies for obesity prevention in key settings—families, early child care, schools, worksites, health care—and strategies for community- and national-level changes to food and physical activity environments. It’s never too early to start preventing obesity, so child obesity prevention strategies for families, early child care providers, schools, and healthcare providers receive special focus. Each section also links to key resources for translating these strategies into policies and practices.

    A “Healthy Weight Checklist” that outlines simple diet and lifestyle steps for keeping weight in check—a helpful resource for individuals and those who work to help others stay healthy, including parents, teachers, and health care providers.

Policy and environmental changes are the foundation of obesity prevention. Scientific evidence shows that these policy and environmental change efforts should focus on facilitating a handful of key behaviors: choosing healthier foods (whole grains, fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and protein sources); limiting unhealthy foods (refined grains, potatoes, red meat, and processed meat) and sugary beverages; increasing physical activity; limiting television and screen time; improving sleep; and reducing stress. The Obesity Prevention Source offers strategies that can help individuals and communities make these healthy choices easier choices.

“To bring about these widespread societal changes, participation is needed from all sectors—for-profit, non-profit, governmental agencies, and civic agencies,” said Lilian Cheung, director of health promotion & communication, Department of Nutrition, HSPH and co-editorial director of the website. “Furthermore, each one of us can be an agent of change—at home, in our children’s schools, at our work, and in our community. We also need to encourage and support changes at a national level—to collectively fuel this important social movement as a matter of urgency for the health and well-being of all people around the world.”

Prostate treatment with natural Dr. Allen’s device has a proven efficacy

London, UK (PRWEB) May 12, 2012

New Thermobalancing Therapy can terminate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or slowly progressive enlargement of the prostate, which makes urination difficult and send men trudging to the bathroom many times during the day and night, and also negatively influences their well-being by decreasing sexual drive, Fine Treatment reveals. This condition is widespread, as according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the most common prostate problem for men over 50 is prostate enlargement. By age 60, over one-half of men have BPH; by age 85, the number climbs to 90%, according to the American Urological Association (AUA).

BPH puts large percentage of men at a disadvantage to others. An article in the USA Today states, “1 in 3 men age 75 to 95 remain sexually active”, while a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine discloses: “Among sexually active men, 57% were satisfied with their sex life, and 43% wanted to have sex more often, according to the study, which followed men from 1996 to 2009.” It should be noted that prostate drugs and surgical procedures only worsen the symptoms of sexual dysfunction, thus, reducing life satisfaction of their users.

So men’s well-being can be dramatically increased with the use of Thermobalancing Therapy as an appropriate solution for BPH. The therapy helps to avoid numerous adverse side effects detrimental to patient’s quality of life. Dr. Allen’s device provides this exceptional prostate therapy protecting the prostate from lasting enlargement. Contrary to other treatment methods, the Thermobalancing Therapy works all the time while the device is applied. By improving the blood circulation inside the prostate tissue, it helps to restore this organ naturally. Oxford Innovation has recorded testimonials that confirm the benefits of this therapy. You can watch a short video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFy_jZgCLw.

“Fine Treatment offers a therapeutic device that can treat prostate enlargement effectively,” says Dr. Simon Allen. “The improvement of the blood circulation inside the prostate is the key factor that terminates BPH and helps men to achieve lasting well-being.”

Dr. Allen’s Device for Prostate Care has no side effects. Read more at http://www.finetreatment.co.uk/prostatetreatmentbph/prostatitistreatment.html.

About Dr. Simon Allen and Fine Treatment:

Pure Health 100% Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract Capsules available at www.PureHealth100.com and Walmart

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) May 03, 2012

As seen on TV, Pure Health’s 400 mg Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract Capsules are the original green coffee bean extract with absolutely NO fillers, NO binders and absolutely NO additives. Now available online at Pure Health’s website: http://stores.purehealth100.com/-strse-43/Pure-Green-Coffee-Bean/Detail.bok and exclusively in-store at Walmart nationwide in the vitamin section, the Pure Health 400 mg vegetarian capsules contain only fresh, pure Green Coffee Bean extract!

As recently recommended by celebrity nutritionist and famous health expert Dr. Lindsey Duncan, who is the expert who unveiled the green coffee secret with Dr. Oz on the “The Dr. Oz Show,” 400 mg Green Coffee Bean capsules are a super-effective, low-cost solution to support healthy weight loss and support high blood pressure when taken daily. Dr. Lindsey recommend looking for “pure green coffee bean extract” with no additives or fillers. Only Pure Health’s product contains 100% pure Green Coffee Bean with absolutely no additives, and only Pure Health’s Green Coffee Bean Extract Capsules have passed Walmart’s extremely rigorous standards for health and wellness products at their stores.

Users of Pure Health’s Green Coffee Bean Capsules have seen results! In less than 2 weeks, real Pure Health Green Coffee Bean users like Tracy have lost weight fast! Tracy lost 6.5 pounds in only 11 days – her video testimonial is available online here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEqSwnactTQ. Shelley, another real Pure Health Green Coffee Bean user lost 5 pounds in only 10 days – her testimonial is available here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVPkvOObOFo.

Only Pure Health’s all-natural Green Coffee Bean Extract Capsules contain:

    100% Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract
    30 Vegetarian Capsules
    Absolutely NO Gelatin, which is derived from animals’ skin and bones!
    NO Calcium Carbonate, which has shown to inhibit and slow digestion
    NO Magnesium Stearate
    NO Silica, which is basically sand
    NO Maltodextrine
    NO Microcrystalline Cellulose

In a recent study on Green Coffee Bean extract presented at the American Chemical Society conference in San Diego and reported on in national media outlets like “The Dr. Oz Show” and CBS News, test subjects who supplemented with Green Coffee Bean Extract lost an average of 17 pounds in only 12 weeks of supplementation without any changes to diet or exercise with zero side effects. In fact, the subjects ate an average of 2,400 calories per day and only burned 400 calories per day, yet they lost more than 16 percent of their total body fat!

As explained on “The Dr. Oz Show,” the key to weight loss with Green Coffee Bean capsules is in the potent, natural compound called Chlorogenic Acid. The Chlorogenic Acid may work by slowing down the release of glucose into the body after meals while at the same time boosting metabolism. The Chlorogenic Acid is only present in the raw Green Coffee Bean, and not in the aromatic roasted familiar version of brown coffee. That’s because the Chlorogenic Acid is removed during the roasting process (which is done at over 400 degrees Fahrenheit) as the acid is extremely bitter. The daily dose of Green Coffee Bean contains only about 15 – 25 mg of naturally-occurring caffeine whereas your average cup of coffee contains up to 200 mg.

There are only a handful of Green Coffee Bean and Raspberry Ketone supplements on the market, and only Pure Health offers 100 percent pure Green Coffee Bean extract vegetarian capsules with nothing added! In addition to Green Coffee Bean, Pure Health also offers Cupuacu and Black Raspberry capsules, and 100 percent pure liquid wild harvested superfood supplements including Pure Acai Berry, Pure Goji Berry, Pure Mangosteen, Pure Noni, Pure Sea Buckthorn and Pure Resveratrol.

Pure Health touts itself as a brand that offers only 100% pure food supplements and does not add any of the “other ingredients” found in most other brands’ supplements. While many companies are using the words “PURE” in their advertising, read the ingredients label and you will find that they are not truly “pure.” Pure Health also delivers premium product at a fair, wholesale price direct to consumers!

Acupuncture for pain management is proven effective.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2012

Acupuncture is emerging into a widely accepted method for pain management. Many recent studies conclude that acupuncture for post-surgery pain control is very valuable. Research in The Journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists concluded that the use of acupuncture before and after abdominal surgery speeds healing, reduces the amounts of pain medication needed, and significantly lowers the pain drug-side effects.

Jennifer Ross, L.Ac., at Remedy Acupuncture in San Francisco, specializes in acupuncture for post-operative pain and scar tissue. She sees first hand how acupuncture eliminates pain in patients who suffer after surgery.

“It’s very easy to become dependent on pain medications, especially in the long term. Our bodies create a tolerance to painkillers the longer we take them, and we need a higher dose to feel the same relief,” Ross explains.

Millions of Americans suffer from chronic pain, and this can be physically as well as mentally exhausting, triggering other symptoms like anxiety, depression, anger, and fatigue. Ross recalls one patient’s fight to regain her life back, pain free.

“My patient came to see me for persistent back pain after scoliosis surgery. About four years prior, many of her vertebrae were fused together to correct the curvature in her spine. She had a scar that ran along from the base of her neck all the way to the top of her sacrum. She was depressed due to the pain, taking NSAIDs every day, and was having digestive problems because of it.

Many doctors prescribe NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and opioids to keep patients comfortable and able to perform day-to-day activities. Immediately after surgery this can be helpful, but long-term use can lead to severe gastrointestinal problems, kidney damage and heart disease.

“I spent about four treatments doing acupuncture directly on the scar tissue on her back. After getting through the whole scar, she reported about an eighty percent improvement in her pain. I continued to treat her for other complaints and throughout, her back pain never returned,” Ross described.

Ross’s treatment plan worked, yet not all treatments are the same. Acupuncturists evaluate every patient individually, starting with a thorough understanding of the patient’s medical history and tailoring a treatment plan to their specific needs. The use of acupuncture for pain in place of long-term medication after surgery can be a pro-active way towards a healthy future.

Jennifer Ross, L.Ac. practices Chinese Medicine through the use of acupuncture, herbal medicine, exercise, massage, and diet to improve the quality of life for her patients. She practices in San Francisco at Remedy Acupuncture Clinic. For more information, or to contact Jennifer, please visit the website at http://www.remedyacupuncture.com.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) May 06, 2012

Achieving and maintaining strong bones and healthy joints just got a lot easier with the addition of 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 in each daily dose of JoMo, the leading shellfish-free liquid glucosamine supplement on the market. JoMo provides 2,000 mg of vegetable-based non-GMO glucosamine, which means you completely avoid any exposure to mercury or other toxins associated with seafood sources. While JoMo is free of additives and fillers, it is rich in antioxidants, boasting an ORAC rating of 32,619. JoMo comes in liquid form and is more bio-available and more easily digested than other glucosamine supplements.

A telling sign of the importance of vitamin D is the fact that vitamin D receptors are found in nearly every cell and tissue in the body, which is why sufficient levels of the vitamin/hormone are necessary for optimal functioning. For example:

    Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium in the gut and enables normal growth, repair, and integrity of bone. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones become thin and brittle, and individuals are at risk for development of osteoporosis.

    Vitamin D also supports bone health by helping prevent falls and fractures. A recent (2012) article in the Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation noted that “the effects of vitamin D on muscle, balance and cognitive functions may be an added value in fracture prevention.”

    Vitamin D deficiency has a role in knee osteoarthritis in people younger than 60, according to a study published in International Orthopedics, and the authors recommended individuals with symptoms of knee osteoarthritis have their vitamin D levels checked.

    Vitamin D supports function of the immune system and helps reduce inflammation, which has a role in heart disease, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions.

    Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with a number of serious health issues, including “an increased risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer, especially colorectal cancer,” as noted in a recent report published in the Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation.

    Higher intake of vitamin D has been associated with a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to a 2012 Journal of Gerontology report.

Although the daily recommended intake of vitamin D offered by the US government’s Food and Nutrition Board is a mere 600 IU for adults up to age 70 years and 800 IU thereafter, many experts recognize higher intake of vitamin D is necessary to support bone and joint health, and overall well-being as well, including Dr. Andrew Weil, who recommends 2,000 IU daily of vitamin D3, which is the amount available in JoMo.

JoMo was developed by the leading orthopedic surgeon to the NBA and is valued for its bone and joint support by weekend warriors and world-class athletes alike, including five-time Olympian and gold medal volleyball player Tom Hoff and world champion trainers and health professionals such as Peter Park (Lance Armstrong’s conditioning coach). See other testimonials and success stories here

The 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 in JoMo joins a unique combination of other natural ingredients designed to promote, protect, and support bone and joint health, including chondroitin, type II collagen, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), manganese, vitamin D, and antioxidant concentrates (cherry and pomegranate). As a bonus, the therapeutic dose of vitamin D in JoMo also supports healthy aging, working to help keep both mind and body functioning at its best.
