Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) December 13, 2005

Integrative Interventions, Inc., announces the release of The Sleep Advisorâ„¢ — a computer program that evaluates sleep using the same methods employed by sleep specialists. The program, which provides immediate results includes extensive personalized recommendations for improving sleep and is intended for use by consumers in the privacy of their own homes.

The Sleep Advisor is the result of a 10-year collaboration between C. Roger Smolin and Rubin Naiman, PhD, the sleep specialist and clinical assistant professor of medicine in Dr. Andrew Weil’s world-renowned Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.

As the result of a serious shortage of sleep medicine specialists, the majority of people with sleep problems remain undiagnosed and untreated. The Sleep Advisor offers an easy, economical, and effective alternative to conventional sleep medicine. For less than the cost of one month’s supply of sleeping pills, the program provides a thorough sleep health screening and comprehensive recommendations for addressing sleep problems.

The Sleep Advisor represents a significant breakthrough in the area of sleep health. Crafted with meticulous concern for efficiency and effectiveness, the program uses an integrative medicine approach that blends the best of conventional healthcare with proven complementary and alternative medicine (cam) approaches. The Sleep Advisor, which has undergone four years of comprehensive testing, relies on both extensive scientific research and broad-based clinical experience in sleep disorders.

“Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, apnea, and insufficient sleep are the most prevalent health concern in the U.S. and can erode our physical and mental health.” Naiman said. “We want people to know that there are proven, effective, and user-friendly alternatives. The Sleep Advisor is not a simplistic health screening device. It is an expert system that utilizes sophisticated diagnostic formulas derived from the practice of sleep medicine.”

Smolin brings 30 years of experience in creating expert systems and consumer-based software to the design of The Sleep Advisor. Naiman founded the sleep health program at the world-famous Canyon Ranch Health Resort, is a sleep consultant at the Miraval Resort near Tucson, and is a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

With Unte.com reporting that “insurance companies are slowly catching on to the benefits of alternative treatments,” LocalEdu.com advises people looking for a job change to consider careers in alternative medicine. Learning holistic massage therapy in a community of healers provides personal as well as career benefits, according to a new article, “Alternative Medicine Thrives in Westbrook, Maine” on top degree program site LocalEdu.com (http://www.localedu.com/state/maine/alternative-medicine-westbrook-maine.php). Potential students exploring career possibilities in holistic massage therapy can learn more about alternative medicine as a business at LocalEdu.com, a site that provides educational resources about a variety of industries.

In the March issue of Utne.com, Elizabeth Ryan reports that: “Holistic therapies such as acupuncture and shiatsu massage are becoming as mainstream and routine as a trip to the dentist. But getting adequate insurance coverage for such treatments is anything but the norm.” However, Ryan reviews an “Alternative Medicine” report that states “insurance companies are beginning to capitalize on the popularity of natural alternatives, and consumers are starting to reap the benefits.”

“Alternative Medicine Thrives in Westbrook, Maine” offers details about the town of Westbrook and the local programs in holistic massage therapy:

    The Maine Medical Center in nearby Portland boasts an alternative medicine residency program.

    The Portland/Westbrook metro area supports about 75 massage therapists, several yoga studios and more than 20 acupuncturists.

    Local holistic massage therapy programs focus on the whole person, including the body, mind and emotions.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment for massage therapists is expected to increase faster than average in the coming years. In the 33 states regulating the industry, therapists who complete formal training programs are likely to have very good job opportunities.

According to LocalEdu.com, “Maine is home to top schools offering programs than can help build a career, get a start in the world and advance educational opportunities” (http://www.localedu.com/state/maine/index.php).

Now may be a good time to enter the field of alternative medicine and massage. Almost twice as many doctors recommended massage therapy to their patients in 2006 than in 2001 in a survey by the American Massage Therapy Association. The survey revealed that as of 2006, 25 million more Americans per year are getting massages than in 1996.

LocalEdu.com is an educational resource that provides students with information on cities, schools and educational programs.

International Malaria Research Consortium Combines Technologies and Expertise From Two Continents to Tackle Deadly Disease

Toronto, ON (Vocus) October 27, 2010

Research teams from three academic institutions and two private sector companies on two continents have come together to form the “International Malaria Research Consortium for the development of novel classes of antimalarials” ,(the “Consortium”) a bold initiative to develop novel classes of drugs against malaria, a deadly disease in desperate need of new treatments.

Each of the Consortium’s five partners brings unique capabilities spanning the spectrum from academic research to commercial development, and significantly – their existing technologies to the table. Through an extensive program design process, the parties hit upon unique combinations of these existing technologies that, combined with new drugs to be developed under the program, represent entirely new approaches to treating and potentially even eradicating this disease.

‘It was a fascinating process to see different organizations with deep knowledge in their individual fields coming together and combining this knowledge to create innovative new approaches to the treatment of this disease’’ – Prof. Virander Chauhan, Director, International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology-New Delhi

“Creative leverage” is a term that comes to mind in describing this program. Iin addition to developing new therapeutics, we are also bringing together existing technologies developed by the partners and combining them in new ways such that one will have the potential to boost the effectiveness of another.” – Dr. Lakshmi P. Kotra, Director, Center for Molecular Design and Preformulations, University Health Network and University of Toronto.

In a field that has seen very few new drugs introduced in the past 30 years, and where most of these drugs have lost effectiveness due to the emergence of drug resistant malaria strains, this program endeavors to develop entirely new classes of drugs, and furthermore will seek to develop drugs that, by their design, will hinder the emergence of drug resistance.

With funding from the International Science and Technology Partnerships Canada Inc. (ISTPCanada) and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) of the Government of India, these new therapies will be developed and refined. Led by the site directors of each partner, Lakshmi Kotra at University Health Network/University of Toronto (Consortium lead in Canada), David Bell at Therapure Biopharma, Jitendra Verma at Lifecare Innovations, Asif Mohammed at the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (Consortium lead in India), and R. Mahesh at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, this program brings together a dynamic and talented groups of world-class scientists for a common cause of advancing basic research discoveries to preclinical development. This consortium brings their combined drug development expertise to the discovery and development of new compounds against targets in the parasite that causes malaria.

Current projects include the development of drugs against three malaria targets that the academic groups have researched extensively. This research is combined with the state-of-the-art tools and expertise in computer modeling, medicinal chemistry, nanoformulations and drug conjugation technologies from the consortium partners to advance potential drugs into IND enabling studies. The consortium has already made excellent progress since its activities started in April, 2010 and looking to expand the scope of the efforts with additional partners to advance the mission to develop clinically viable new antimalarials.

One example of this technology combination process is embodied in an objective to treat a form of malaria that resides in the liver. This form of the disease can re-emerge months or years after the initial infection to cause new illnesses in that individual. Additionally this form of the disease can re-introduce malaria into local populations where it had previously been eliminated – frustrating permanent eradication efforts. To tackle this problem the program will combine new drugs developed with existing technologies designed to deliver drugs to the liver in an effective form.

Other technology harnessed under the program will allow antimalarial drugs to be released slowly over long periods of time. This slow release gives the potential for a “one pill cure” , a long sought after goal in anti-malarial drug development programs as it would allow the most effective utilization of often limited medical resources.

Malaria is one of humanities most devastating illnesses with an estimated 247 million cases worldwide in 2008 and almost one million deaths, mostly among children. In Africa a child dies every 45 seconds of Malaria and the disease accounts for 20% of all childhood deaths. Furthermore drug resistance is steadily undermining the effectiveness of existing treatments – driving the need for new therapies.
