LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Verizon Media announced today that its hit series Mr. Student Body President will return for a third season on June 14, 2018.  Produced by New Form (http://newform.com), the multi-Streamy-winning show will generate the biggest gasps and hilarity to date when it becomes besties versus baes in the ultimate showdown for Berenger Class President.  

This season, Tyler Prendergast (Jeremy Shada) and Hadley Pulito (Arden Rose) find themselves teaming up like never before when forced to take on power couple Chad and Debra, better known as “Chadebra” (played by new cast members Spencer Watson and Camile Hyde).  In a move no one sees coming, Chadebra suddenly decide to run as co-presidents, potentially ending President Prendergast’s reign for good.  With Chadebra’s social media footprints through the roof and the entire student body worshipping their every move, Tyler enlists Hadley to level the playing field and challenge Chadebra in a campaign race that has all four of them pushing – not only Berenger’s boundaries – but their own as well. 
The season premiere comes on the heels of a number of wins for the series at the most recent Streamy Awards. Tied for the most nominations, Mr. Student Body President took home awards for “Best Ensemble Cast” and “Best Directing.”
Due to the show’s popularity in conjunction with its recent award wins, Verizon is now making all 10 new episodes available at once so viewers can watch as they wish, anytime and anywhere. Season 4 will likewise be released in a binge consumption format when it debuts later this year. “Mr. Student Body President takes a fun, modern approach to high school politics while still covering prominent youth issues.  Having seen how positively viewers have responded to the series and the fact that our audiences are increasingly moving towards on-demand viewing, we have decided to release the next two seasons in binge format,” said Steve Woolf, Head of Programming, Verizon Digital Entertainment. “We are excited to see how Mr. Student Body fans will react to the new programming change.”   
Mr. Student Body President is produced by New Form with Jack Ferry, Ryan Hunter, Melissa Schneider and Kathleen Grace serving as Executive Producers.
“The response to Mr. Student Body President has been incredible, and we can’t wait to share a new season with the fans,” said Kathleen Grace, CEO of New Form.
Mr. Student Body President stars Jeremy Shada as Tyler Prendergast, Arden Rose as Hadley Pulito, Gabriel Conte as Matt Johnsmeyer, Jackie Averia as Blair McGunty, Camille Hyde as Debra and Spencer Watson as Chad.

МОСКВА (MOSCOW), 31 мая 2018 г. /PRNewswire/ — Китайско-российский форум по вопросам правильного питания и диетологии, посвященный «Всемирному дню здоровья ЖКТ», состоялся недавно в Москве. Мероприятие было организовано Китайским обществом питания (China Nutrition Society (CNS)) и Федеральным исследовательским центром питания, биотехнологии и безопасности пищи (ФИЦ) совместно с Mengniu Danone Joint Venture. Форум предоставил российским и китайским специалистам первую возможность официально обменяться мнениями по вопросам питания, достичь консенсуса относительно важности проведения среди потребителей разъяснительной работы относительно пользы молочных продуктов с пробиотиками. По результатам форума CNS и ФИЦ подписали Протокол о намерениях в сфере стратегического сотрудничества. Организации-партнеры будут совместными усилиями наращивать сотрудничество в сфере здорового питания, а также стимулировать подготовку специалистов по технологиям производства молочной продукции. С этой целью они будут всячески содействовать активизации двусторонней торговли и развитию молочной отрасли, предоставляя руководство и юридическую поддержку для беспроблемной торговли молочными продукциями в обеих странах.

По мере роста общих объемов потребления воспитание сознательного отношения к здоровью и санитарное просвещение потребителей приобретает более важное значение, чем материальная прибыль.  Директор общества CNS Ян Юэсинь (Yang Yuexin) прокомментировал: «Китайцы ежедневно потребляют меньше молочных продуктов, чем это необходимо. И особенно это касается напитков с активными пробиотиками. Поэтому очень важно рассказывать людям о пользе таких веществ для их здоровья».
Аналогичная ситуация с употреблением напитков, содержащих активные пробиотики, наблюдается и в России. «В структуре питания жителей Европы преобладают мясо, яйца и молочные продукты. Объем потребления молочных продуктов россиянами отвечает рекомендуемым нормам, однако у нас по-прежнему сохраняется необходимость повышать уровень осведомленности людей о пользе активных пробиотиков», – отметила д.т.н. Светлана Шевелева, руководитель лаборатории биобезопасности и анализа нутримикробиома при Федеральном исследовательском центре питания, биотехнологии и безопасности пищи.
Принимая во внимание сложившуюся ситуацию, один из ведущих китайских брендов молочной продукции, компания Mengniu делает все возможное на продвижения международного обмена и потребительского просвещения. Mengniu и Danone объединили свои усилия в сфере производства свежего йогурта, содержащего высококачественные полезные бактерии от Danone, с полноценным использованием научно-исследовательского потенциала, эталонных производственных технологий и строжайшей системы контроля качества мирового гиганта молочной индустрии. Компании-партнеры стремятся вместе приблизить то будущее, в котором китайские потребители получат доступ к высококачественным продуктам питания, производимым по тем же стандартам качества и с использованием тех же производственных технологий, что и жители Европы и других регионов мира.

DUBLIN, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ —
The “Larvicides Market by Control Method (Biocontrol Agents, Chemical Agents, Insect Growth Regulators), Target (Mosquitoes, Flies), End-use Sector (Public Health, Agricultural, Commercial, Residential, Livestock), and Region – Global Forecast to 2023” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The larvicides market is estimated at USD 751.6 Million in 2018, and is projected to reach USD 952.7 Million by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.86% during the forecast period.
The market is primarily driven by factors such as vector-based epidemics or outbreaks, climatic changes, the rise in pest population, worldwide, and growth in awareness about IPM practices and environmental sustainability.The public health segment is estimated to dominate the larvicides market in 2018. The usage of larvicides is much higher for public health compared to other sectors, both in urban and rural areas. According to the WHO, the threat to public health due to urban pests has been rising due to climatic changes and population mobility, which favor their development. Mosquitoes and mosquito-transmitted diseases are among the principal public health concerns challenging governments globally, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Thus, this segment is also projected to grow at the highest in the next five years.The larvicides market, based on control methods, has been segmented into insect growth regulators, biocontrol agents, chemical agents, and other control methods (surface oils & films and mechanical control). The chemical agents segment is estimated to account for the largest share in 2018. In developing regions, chemical agents such as organophosphates are extensively used for the treatment of waters infested with mosquitoes. Larvicides, in the form of insect growth regulators and microbial organisms, are being increasingly used to control larvae worldwide, due to their relative target specificity, safety, and eco-friendly properties.The larvicides market, by target insect, is estimated to be dominated by the mosquitoes segment, in 2018. It is also projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2023. Globally, mosquito larviciding is an important public health practice, since mosquitoes are vectors of diseases such as malaria and Zika fever, which pose a significant risk to public health. Larviciding has gained prominence because of its implementation as an area-wide malaria control technique. By reducing the population of adult vectors, larvicides reduce the transmission of Plasmodium spp. by adult mosquitoes, and thus reduce mortality and morbidity from malaria.

DUBLIN, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Hispanics are a key customer group for in-office medical aesthetic procedures, growing 23.5 percent from 2010 to 2017². This statistic served as a jumping-off point for a conversation about aesthetic treatments, including the CoolSculpting^® treatment, during a May 19 event hosted by Allergan plc (NYSE: AGN) and the #WeAllGrow Latina network. The panel discussion featured Dr. Vivian Bucay, a board-certified dermatologist; Gia Fey, Curveygirls Fitness trainer and creator of Body by Gia; and Ana Flores, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of #WeAllGrow Latina Network, an organization dedicated to leveraging social influence to grow a community of Latinas through online conversation. The CoolSculpting^® treatment is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to eliminate stubborn fat using a patented cooling technology.

“There has been a steady rise of Latinas seeking cosmetic treatments. According to a 2018 Mintel Study³, Latinas spent $2.49 billion in the U.S. on beauty-related products in 2017,” said Mike Jafar, Vice President, Medical Aesthetics, Body Contouring, Allergan, who moderated the panel discussion. “With the growing interest, our collaboration with #WeAllGrow is the first step in our desire to learn about Latina perspectives of beauty and their attitudes towards aesthetic procedures, as well as to share the benefits of the CoolSculpting^® treatment.”
#WeAllGrow surveyed 255 members of its Latina influencer network and found:

• Cosmetic enhancements are becoming part of the beauty regimen – More than half (63 percent) of respondents are considering cosmetic surgery to look better as they age⁴
• They are early adopters of new treatments – Nearly half (42 percent) of respondents said they consider themselves the first of their friends/family to try new aesthetic treatments⁵
• Diet, exercise and body contouring is the new trifecta for eliminating trouble spots– As many as 94 percent of respondents said they have troublesome spots on their bodies that they want to lose, mostly centered in the mid-section, i.e. abdomen, belly fat rolls, waistline, and love handles⁶
• Willing to combine diet and exercise with cosmetic treatments – One in two respondents (52 percent) shared they are in favor of combining diet and exercise with a body contouring procedure such as CoolSculpting^®7

“The #WeAllGrow Latina Network is focused on empowering women,” said Ana Flores of #WeAllGrow Latina Network. “Through this effort, we have been able to share information on a topic that some may consider taboo – the steps we take as part of our personal care regimen, including how we address diet, exercise and stubborn body fat.”
The CoolSculpting^® treatment is clinically proven to be a safe and effective way to reduce stubborn fat. Results may be early as three weeks, with the most dramatic results observed one to three months after treatment. CoolSculpting^® is the only cold-based, non-surgical body contouring treatment cleared by the Food and Drug Administration. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity, and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental area treatment. Rare side effects may also occur. To learn more about the CoolSculpting^® treatment or to find a provider near you, please visit www.coolsculpting.com.

About the CoolSculpting^® Treatment
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, clinically proven treatment that selectively reduces unwanted fat using a patented cooling technology. Cleared by the FDA, CoolSculpting works by gently cooling targeted fat cells in the body to induce a natural, controlled elimination of fat cells without affecting surrounding tissue, and the treated fat cells are gone for good. In 2018, CoolSculpting was recognized for the fifth consecutive year by NewBeauty as a Choice Award winner. Millions of CoolSculpting treatments have been performed in more than 80 countries. CoolSculpting is available through a network of CoolSculpting Centers worldwide. Dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aesthetic specialists that offer CoolSculpting can be found at www.coolsculpting.com.
In the U.S., the CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll), and upper arm. It is also FDA-cleared to affect the appearance of lax tissue with submental area treatments.
During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity, and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental area treatment. Rare side effects may also occur. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting^® procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. Please see full Important Safety Information for additional information.

ARLINGTON, Va., May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) was awarded a Fire Prevention & Safety Grant (FP&S) from the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA). The organization will use the funding to develop a multi-faceted home fire safety awareness campaign that targets older adults.
This program will focus on the leading causes of home fires: cooking equipment, heating equipment, and electrical equipment. Program components will include PSAs, informational brochures, and more.

According to the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) study “Characteristics of Home Fire Victims,” older adults have the greatest risk of fire death.  While only 13 percent of the U.S. population is 65 or older, a disparate 30 percent of fatal home fire victims were in this age range. ESFI’s goal is to reach older adults in the top ten states with the highest rates of fire deaths.
“Raising awareness among the most at-risk populations is crucial to preventing home fires, fire deaths, and related injuries,” said ESFI President Brett Brenner. “This year, we’re working with Community Action Agencies (CAA) who work directly with these populations to ensure that we educate even the hardest to reach groups and decrease their vulnerability to home fires.”
ESFI also will promote this campaign with local Rebuilding Together Affiliates.
This is the sixth time that ESFI has received a FEMA Fire Prevention and Safety Grant. Funding from previous grants allowed the organization to develop and implement a comprehensive home fire safety awareness campaign to educate at-risk children, senior citizens, and their families nationwide about home fire hazards. As a result, ESFI directly impacted more than 3.4 million children and their families through the distribution of classroom toolkits that were direct-mailed to schools and distributed to ESFI’s nationwide network of safety advocates.
About ESFI:
The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated exclusively to promoting the importance of electrical safety. ESFI proudly sponsors National Electrical Safety Month each May and engages in public education campaigns throughout the year to increase awareness of the steps that can be taken to prevent electrical fires, injuries, and fatalities in the home, school, and workplace. Visit www.esfi.org to learn more about ESFI and electrical safety.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The California State Senate rejected secrecy about physician sexual assault and other doctor misconduct today when it voted 28-3 to support SB 1448 by Senator Jerry Hill (San Mateo) to require physicians disclose to their patients when they are on probation for causing patient harm.

The California Medical Association opposed SB 1448 despite amendments taken by Senator Hill to narrow the bill to require disclosure only by physicians on probation for the most serious violations involving sexual misconduct, drug abuse, a criminal conviction or overprescribing that results in patient harm.
“28 Senators had the courage today to stand up to the medical lobby and say #TimesUp for physician sexual assault. Today’s vote says the California Senate will not stand for secrecy around sexual assault and other egregious doctor misconduct that causes patient harm,” said Carmen Balber, executive director of Consumer Watchdog.
Doctors are required to tell their insurance company and the hospital or clinic where they work when their misconduct lands them on probation, but their patients are kept in the dark. Although California mandates that doctor disciplinary information be disclosed online, the requirement is meaningless to patients who don’t know they should look, said Consumer Watchdog.
“Californians are still reeling from the latest revelation that the University of Southern California chose to hide allegations from dozens, if not hundreds, of USC students that they were sexually assaulted by the school gynecologist, allowing him to continue practicing to assault other patients. It’s shameful that doctors’ lobbyists at the California Medical Association continue to oppose the basic transparency required by SB 1448. Patients have a right to know so they can make informed medical decisions and be able to protect themselves. We applaud the 28 Senators who backed SB 1448 for placing patient safety above protecting doctors,” said Balber.
The Senate Floor vote was 28-3. The 28 Senators who voted to lift the veil of secrecy and protect patients were Senators: Atkins, Beall, Bradford, Cannella, De León,  Dodd, Galgiani, Glazer, Hernandez, Hertzberg, Hill, Hueso, Jackson, Lara, Leyva, McGuire, Mitchell, Monning, Morrell, Newman, Nguyen, Portantino, Roth, Skinner, Stern, Wieckowski, Wiener and Wilk. The 3 Senators who voted to preserve secrecy for dangerous doctors were: Anderson, Gaines and Vidak. Eight Senators did not vote: Allen, Bates, Berryhill, Fuller, Moorlach, Nielsen, Pan and Stone.
An average of 600 doctors are on probation at any given time in California, for reasons ranging from sexual assault, to overprescribing narcotics to gross negligence that causes a patient death. SB 1448 would require disclosure of an estimated 100 cases or less per year.Read the Los Angeles Times editorial in support of the bill: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-doctors-probation-20180521-story.html
Download Consumer Watchdog’s letter of support for SB 1448: http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/sites/default/files/2018-04/CWSB1448Support.pdf
Earlier this year, patients who were assaulted by their physician testified in Sacramento.
Karie H’s doctor was sentenced to prison in April for sexually assaulting five patients. She testified: “I contacted the Medical Board after the incident and was told that at least two other women had filed complaints. But no action was taken. He was also on probation for other misconduct including overprescribing and gross negligence, but I was never told. If I had known I might not be a victim. So I ask you to support this bill and make sure patients have the information they need so they can make an informed decision. It would protect other patients from going through what I and too many other women went through at the hands of someone we should have been able to trust.”
Olympic gymnasts Jordyn Wieber and Jamie Dantzscher, former US national gymnastics team member Jeanette Antolin and star athlete Tiffany Thomas Lopez, who played softball for Michigan State University, also spoke in support of SB 1448 earlier this month. Their testimony in the case of Larry Nassar helped bring the disgraced doctor to justice.
Ms. Wieber, a 2012 Olympic gold medalist, said on April 9: “My mom is a nurse and I was raised to respect and trust doctors – we all are and almost every doctor deserves that trust. But when they don’t, the results can be devastating. Not one state requires doctors on probation to give their patients notice…California can and should be the first.”

LAS VEGAS, May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — This show-stopping iconically-shaped minaudiere is handset with 9,888 micro-pave diamonds totaling 120 carats.  Production took nearly 100 days and was a collaboration of more than 15 craftsmen. Icestrella, a material employed in the creation of bulletproof glass, replicates the look and feel of the iconic glass Coca-Cola bottle.

The diamond encrusted Coca-Cola bottle complements the current Swarovski Coca-Cola minaudiere collection by Kathrine Baumann Beverly Hills featured and sold at Coca-Cola Stores in Las Vegas and Atlanta.  Artisan bags include a six-pack minaudiere as well as personalized “Share a Coke” inspired cans and bottles of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coke Zero.  The collection also includes the Coca-Cola bottle cap and “pop-art” accessories delighting generations of women who enjoy her whimsical approach to fashion.
“Working with Aaron Shum on this international collaboration has been an exciting venture.  It is appropriate since Coca-Cola is not just an American icon but one of the most recognized global icons.  Although $300,000 is not in everyone’s budget, my couture minaudieres and accessories are within reach.  There is something for everyone,” says Baumann.  Aaron Shum elaborated by saying, “Collaborating on such an unparalleled piece was an honor as we love to engage in unique projects that stand out.  The diamond Coca-Cola bottle winning our third Guinness World Record definitely makes me smile.”
Recently, Christie’s Paris auction house set another world record featuring several of the original numbered limited edition Kathrine Baumann Coca-Cola designs, which included the Swarovksi Coca-Cola bottle and Diet Coke Can minaudieres.  Matthew Rubinger, International Director of Handbags and Accessories at Christie’s said after the event, “It proves that the market is driven by collectors who come for something unique and different.”  In a recent article about the World’s Most Expensive Handbags, UK Vogue stated, “Her witty bags …were all made in such limited numbers that they have become desirable.”
The diamond Coca-Cola bottle minaudiere inspired by Baumann’s trademark whimsy, along with Baumann’s Swarovski collection, will be displayed at JCK 2018, June 1-4^th in Vegas (Booth Number B47139), and will be available for orders at www.kbaumann.com and through Aaron Shum Jewelry/Coronet worldwide at www.aaronshum.com.  Call 310.274.7441 for ordering details.
“If it makes you smile, it’s my bag,” Baumann noted.

DENVER, May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A delegation of Skal International USA leaders led by President Burcin Turkkan of Skal Atlanta with Vice President David Ryan of Skal Sacramento and Director Steve Richer of Skal Washington worked the floor of the 50th anniversary edition of IPW, the largest inbound travel show in the United States in late May at the Denver Convention Center.

Over 6000 delegates attended the event, representing American destinations and travel product who were selling to buyers of travel to the United States who came from over seventy countries.  The trade show is organized by the US Travel Association and sponsored in a major way by the national tourism marketing agency, Brand USA.  The leaders of both organizations, Roger Dow, President of US Travel, and Chris Thompson, President of Brand USA, are members of Skal International in its Washington club.
During the three days of IPW, Turkkan and her team met with national travel industry leaders, some of the international buyers, and dozens of local tourism officials who either presently are involved in Skal clubs or have an interest in starting ones in their communities.  The Skal team had discussions with representatives from more than forty states during the three days.
Turkkan reported, “Our presence at IPW, thanks to the cooperation of US Travel, was another big boost to demonstrating that Skal is a way for communities engaged in the travel industry to have a strong local organization that supports tourism at every level, mentors younger people within the industry, develops careers, grows business through our global network, and gives back to the home area in which a club is located.
“Our conversations from coast to coast and even the American islands demonstrated a renewed interest in Skal and what it brings to the industry, its communities, and, most importantly, its members.
“Our national executive committee will be digesting these conversations and target a small number of communities for new Skal clubs in 2018, while prioritizing strengthening existing ones and adding other locales for clubs in 2019 and beyond.  We had so many good dialogues that it will take a little time to evaluate where to concentrate our efforts immediately.”
Skal International USA has been growing its clubs. Starting in 2017, clubs were added in Richmond, Virginia, and Southwest Florida with new ones due to be finalized this year in Central California and the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix area), Arizona.
Skal International USA is currently the largest National Committee in Skal International with 2,000 members and 49 clubs nationwide.  For more information on SKAL International and SKAL USA, and to find out more about membership, go to www.skalusa.org

HOUSTON, May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Cook Medical must pay $1.2 million to compensate a man who was implanted with a Cook Celect IVC filter, said a Texas jury Thursday.  Following a three-week trial, the jury of 12 ruled Cook must pay for injuries following a Celect filter’s implantation in Jeff Pavlock on March 3, 2015.   A 35-year-old Houston-area firefighter,  Mr. Pavlock sued Cook after its Celect inferior vena cava filter required open laparotomy surgery to remove.

Cook promoted its Celect IVC filter as retrievable, but the filter put into Mr. Pavlock’s inferior vena cava tilted, perforated his IVC, duodenum and aorta, and was pressing against his spine and renal artery, making it impossible to remove without major surgery. Two previous removal procedures had failed.
There was much conjecture from both sides about how much the results of the invasive surgery affected Mr. Pavlock now and could affect him in the future. Defense pounced on the Plaintiff side’s analysis that any spinal stenosis Mr. Pavlock may have is asymptomatic for now but could become symptomatic in the future.  Nobody could say for certain whether or not Mr. Pavlock would suffer symptomatic stenosis in future or how much trauma he suffered from the surgery.
Attorney David Matthews argued for the plaintiff in closing that Cook knew its Celect had perforation problems before it was cleared by the FDA, yet pushed it to the market anyway.  He showed the jury several independent studies that found Celect had a perforation rate of greater than 79 percent, while the Cook-sponsored study the company presented to the FDA prior to Celect’s 510(k) clearance in 2008 showed a zero percent perforation rate.  Mr. Matthews also reminded the jury that he had shown evidence that as few as one percent of adverse events are reported by doctors to a medical device maker.
To explain or dismiss the large gap between independent and Cook-sponsored study findings, defense attorney John Mandler said, “They have their favorite studies and we have ours.”  Cook’s attorneys had also refuted trial evidence of doctors reporting only 1-5% of actual adverse events related to medical devices.  In closing, Mr. Mandler called the low-reporting evidentiary studies a “conspiracy theory.”
Cook issued a press release the next day vowing to appeal the jury verdict.
Freese & Goss and Matthews & Associates Law Firm represented the plaintiff. Faegre Baker Daniels represented Cook. The actual jury award was $1,240,500.

NORTHFIELD, Ill., May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — In line with Medline’s focus on skin health, more than a dozen skin health clinical leaders will share insights on the latest wound care trends impacting WOC nurses during the company’s live, in-booth news show at this year’s WOCN Society’s 50^th Annual Conference in Philadelphia. As America’s aging population continues to grow, chronic wounds are becoming increasingly prevalent and more difficult to treat, stressing the urgency of education to support clinical practice.

“Fifty years ago, WOC nurses treated wounds and taught patients how to care for their skin. The increase in chronic conditions in the United States has led to health systems taking a more proactive approach toward preventative care,” says Margaret Falconio-West, a CWOCN and vice president of clinical services at Medline. “The role of WOC nurses has evolved into assessing and recognizing patients who are at risk and putting forth best practices to prevent skin breakdown.”
The news show experience called “The Pulse” will air live June 3 and June 4 at Medline’s booth 742. Attendees can hear from such experts as Dr. Joyce Black, Professor in the College of Nursing at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and best known for her work with the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP). As a national wound care expert, Dr. Black’s work to identify the problem of deep tissue pressure injury and clarify its definition helped lead her to receiving the NPUAP President’s Recognition Award.
Additionally, Dr. Greg Schultz, Professor and Director of the Institute for Wound Research at the University of Florida and member of the Global Wound Biofilm Expert Panel, will speak to biofilm’s impact on wounds and strategy for implementing an effective biofilm wound care plan. Dr. Schultz has authored more than 300 scientific publications that have been cited more than 17,000 times.
Find the complete lineup for “The Pulse” at http://medlineconferences.com/wocn2018 or catch the live YouTube stream at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH76P_Z8RQQ for the Sunday, June 3 broadcast and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq4W_b5TFMs for the Monday, June 4 show.
Products to Support Clinical Practice
The company will also highlight its comprehensive portfolio of solutions to support clinical practice from prevention to treatment:

• Skin Champion Program: Pressure injuries impact 2.5 million people a year and result in more than 17,000 lawsuits annually. Educational tools can help empower staff to perform at their very best. Medline’s Skin Champion Program was developed by certified WOC nurses and features pre-built educational modules to address four common issues impacting wound care, including pressure injuries, skin care, wound etiologies and special populations.
• PluroGel®: The unique burn and wound dressing is 100 percent water-soluble, bio-compatible, cell-friendly and non-ionic. It aids in the creation of an optimal moist wound healing environment that helps to protect healthy tissue and soften wound debris.
• Comfort Glide: Repositioning, transferring and lifting patients multiple times a day takes a toll on caregivers and patients. Comfort Glide products, such as the Comfort Glide Air help reduce the effort needed for patient movement and promote a safe environment for caregivers and their patients
• Remedy:  Leading skin care brand that follows care in formulation, proven performance and complete product selection to meet clinical needs.

Meet the Author of “Chicken Soup for the Nurses Soul”
A compensation and productivity survey completed by WOCN members indicated that having inadequate time to complete their job and working too many hours are the most common areas contributing to job dissatisfaction. These factors often lead to burn out, making self-care essential to help nurses stay nurtured and balanced. That’s why Medline is partnering with LeAnn Thieman, an expert in nurse recruitment, nurse retention and work life balance, and also author of 14 “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books. On Tuesday, June 5, Thieman will sign and distribute copies of “Chicken Soup for the Nurses Soul” at the Medline booth. Listed on The New York Times Best Sellers list, the book tells stories from all types of nurses, including the patients that have impacted them, their personal ups and downs as nurses and tips to help encourage empowerment. To be eligible to participate in the book signing, conference attendees must stop by the Medline hosted breakfast on Tuesday at 7 a.m. EDT to receive a voucher.
Additionally, visit https://www.medline.com/pages/clinical-expertise/advanced-wound-care/ to see how Medline is raising the standard of wound care through innovation.

(SZ: 002506) (“GCL-SI”), una filial de GCL Group, el principal proveedor de servicios energéticos de China, ha presentado cuatro nuevos módulos monocristalinos y policristalinos con tecnología multibusbar (MBB) en la SNEC PV Power Expo de Shanghái. La empresa también desveló sus planes de dar la misma importancia a ambos tipos de módulos y de expandirse a los mercados emergentes de todo el mundo.

Las nuevas incorporaciones a la cartera de alta eficacia de GCL-SI vienen en dos series: módulos fotovoltaicos normales de un solo cristal y módulos bifaciales de doble cristal. La potencia de salida de los módulos policristalinos MBB de un solo cristal alcanza los 305 W en la producción a gran escala, lo que los convierte en los módulos policristalinos de tipo normal con la salida de potencia más elevada del mundo. La potencia de los módulos monocristalinos de un solo cristal ha alcanzado los 315 W, 10 W más que la salida estándar del programa Top Runner de China.
“Nuestra nueva línea de módulos con tecnología MBB supone un cambio radical para nosotros. Estos nos permiten ofrecer alta eficacia, fiabilidad y flexibilidad de aplicación a un menor coste de producción, lo que los hace accesibles para un mayor rango de clientes potenciales”, afirmó Luo Xin, presidente de GCL-SI. “Nuestro volumen de ventas en el extranjero se duplicó el año pasado. En el futuro, expandiremos nuestras operaciones a mercados emergentes, en concreto en los países incluidos en la iniciativa del Cinturón y la Ruta de la Seda de China, mediante el desarrollo o la inversión en parques industriales, con el objetivo de alcanzar el 50% de nuestras ventas en el extranjero para finales de 2018 y el 70% para 2020″.
La tecnología MBB supone un aumento del 2% en la eficacia de las células y un incremento de 30 W en la salida de potencia de los módulos. Asimismo, los módulos bifaciales de doble cristal aumentan enormemente el potencial de generación de potencia de cada superficie. Estos nuevos productos demuestran no solo los avances tecnológicos de la empresa, sino también una gran variedad en su línea de productos. Gracias a una cartera de módulos monocristalinos y policristalinos, GCL-SI obtendrá una posición aventajada en el sector, lo que dará lugar a un crecimiento de su cuota de mercado.
La aparición de nuevas tecnologías como el PERC de silicio negro policristalino, el PERC monocristalino y las células monocristalinas tipo N, entre otras, junto con productos y avances tecnológicos altamente diferenciados, han reducido los costes de producción y aumentado el rendimiento y la eficacia. Como resultado, el mercado fotovoltaico está experimentando un crecimiento constante y los mercados emergentes están creciendo rápidamente.

L‘entreprise apporte des modules de plus de 310 Watts sur un marché plus large
SHANGHAI, 29 mai 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Aerospace Automobile Electromechanical Co., Ltd (« HT-SAAE ») (600151.SH), le fabricant avancé sur le plan mondial de produits photovoltaïques (PV), présente ses dernières technologies de modules à haut rendement sur le stand de 300 m² (N1-510) du salon SNEC PV Power Expo (le « SNEC ») 2018 à Shanghai, qui se déroule actuellement jusqu’au 30 mai au Shanghai New International Exhibition Center.

HT-SAAE a amélioré sa technologie PERC, répondant ainsi aux besoins du marché en termes de modules à haut rendement et accélérant leur commercialisation sur un marché plus large à l’échelle mondiale.
Le module PERC de type P en demi-coupe est doté de la technologie de cellules en demi-coupe de pointe de l’entreprise, qui présente de nombreux avantages. Premièrement, couper la cellule PERC en deux diminue de moitié le courant électrique dans le réseau principal et réduit la perte électronique de courant de 25 % par rapport à la précédente. Cela se traduit par une baisse de la perte d’énergie et apporte une augmentation de 3 %, voire plus, de la puissance de sortie en watts du module. La gamme de produits est dotée d’excellentes performances en matière de réduction de la résistance thermique, d’une bonne résistance à la chaleur avec une très nette réduction des cas de microfissures et des effets « points chauds », ce qui augmente l’efficacité de la conversion.
Par ailleurs, la technologie de demi-coupe réduit et contrôle la perte d’énergie causée par les modules recouverts d’ombres ou de poussière. La puissance de sortie d’un module monocristallin de 60 cellules peut atteindre 315 Watts, et pour un module de 72 cellules, la puissance de sortie peut être de 375 Watts. En termes de performance, il faut aussi souligner la conception autonettoyante. Non seulement cette caractéristique fait baisser les coûts de nettoyage, mais elle réduit aussi les dommages causés, à la surface du module, par la poussière, la pluie et la neige, ce qui accroît la production d’électricité et réduit le risque de fuite électrique.
2018 marque le 20^e anniversaire de HT-SAAE, une filiale de China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), entreprise classée au palmarès Fortune 500 Global. HT-SAAE est, de longue date, un leader dans la commercialisation de l’industrie photovoltaïque en Chine. Depuis la fin des années 1990, HT-SAAE a mis en œuvre plus de 600 projets PV sur les marchés nationaux et internationaux. Depuis 20 ans, les modules PV à haut rendement produits par HT-SAAE alimentent le fonctionnement régulier des centrales électriques dans le monde entier. Ses produits PV, bien accueillis par la clientèle mondiale grâce à leur qualité hors pair et un service après-vente attentionné, aident HT-SAAE à se distinguer en tant que marque professionnelle et responsable dans le monde.
