Baylis Medical Launches First-of-its-Kind Large Access Transseptal Dilator
TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Baylis Medical announced today the Canadian launch and first clinical use of its ExpanSure™ Transseptal Dilation System. The device combines a sheath and dilator into a single tool, and facilitates larger dilation compared to a standard fixed curve sheath.
The larger dilation optimizes left-heart procedures such as left-atrial appendage closures and balloon ablations for atrial fibrillation, which require a large sheath to cross the heart's septum from the right atrium. The ExpanSure dilator aims to eliminate use of added force or the introduction of additional devices to achieve crossing, which are often necessary when a larger dilation area is needed. This could result in possible consequences for the patient.
"Baylis is pleased to offer a device uniquely designed to optimize transseptal access, allowing the physician's primary focus to remain on delivering the necessary therapy to the patient," said Neil Godara, Director of Research and Development at Baylis Medical.
A single, streamlined device without the traditional dilator-sheath transition also helps provide access in cases where a patient's fibrotic septum makes transseptal access challenging. This was the case in one of the device's first clinical uses.
"Following several attempts to introduce sheaths through the patient's fibrous septum, access was only made possible by the ExpanSure dilator's streamlined design. It provided the necessary access when other sheaths could not, while the larger dilation allowed the remainder of the procedure to take place," said Cardiologist Dr. Peter Leong-Sit, Investigator with the Cardiac Arrhythmia Network of Canada (CANet).
Baylis is part of CANet's network of industry partners, which provides important opportunities to validate its devices with leading physicians.
"Collaboration with companies like Baylis Medical are key to advancing the delivery of care for patients facing cardiac arrhythmia," said Dr. Anthony Tang, CEO of CANet. "Together, we can ensure that physicians have access to meaningful solutions to the life-threatening issues patients may be facing."
Development of the ExpanSure dilator was made possible by support from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario's Advanced Manufacturing Fund (FedDev Ontario).
"In 2015, FedDev Ontario announced an investment of $15.2 million for Baylis Medical to accelerate the development and commercialization of leading-edge medical devices for use by doctors during heart procedures," said the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development and Minister responsible for FedDev Ontario. "Congratulations to Baylis Medical on the launch of an innovative product that will positively impact treatment of patients around the world and expand international markets for made-in-Canada technologies."
The ExpanSure™ Transseptal Dilation System is expected to launch in the United States in early 2019.

Xultophy® now available in Canada to support improved glycemic control, an issue facing 50 per cent of Canadians with type 2 diabetes
An estimated 3.1 million Canadians live with type 2 diabetes, half of whom do not achieve adequate blood sugar control1,2,3
Once-daily Xultophy® combines insulin degludec and liraglutideto help patients achieve blood glucose targets, with a well-established safety profile4
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Jan. 23, 2019 /CNW/ - Novo Nordisk announced today that Xultophy® (insulin degludec + liraglutide injection), a once-daily, fixed-ratio combination treatment in a pre-filled pen, is now available across Canada for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.4 Of the 3.5 million Canadians with diabetes in Canada, it is estimated that 90 per cent live with type 2.1,2
"When type 2 diabetes is not optimally managed, it may lead to a number of health issues, including heart diseases, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nerve damage, leg and foot amputations, and death," says Dr. Irving Gottesman, Endocrinologist, Trillium Health Partners, Credit Valley Hospital, and Assistant Professor, University of Toronto. "Studies have shown that half of Canadians with type 2 diabetes are not currently meeting suggested glycemic targets. A fixed-ratio combination treatment that can make their therapy less complicated can help them meet their targets while reducing the risk of hypoglycemia and possibly reducing weight gain."
A 2015 study found differences in how physicians and patients perceived 'control' with regards to diabetes management.5Investigators found physicians prioritized HbA1c levels, complications from diabetes and frequency/severity of hypoglycemia in determining whether diabetes is well controlled.5 However, the study found that those living with diabetes considered factors including energy levels, insulin units per day and predictability of life among factors of most importance.5 The difference suggested a need for enhanced communication between patients and physicians to improve diabetes management.5
"Having an open dialogue with patients who are not meeting their blood glucose targets during consultations may provide important insights into helping people living with type 2 diabetes achieve targets based on a variety of factors that are most important to the patient," says Dr. Irving Gottesman.
Xultophy® was approved by Health Canada in April 2018. Xultophy® is indicated in Canada as an adjunct to lifestyle modifications for the once-daily treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with metformin, with or without sulfonylurea, when these combined with basal insulin (less than 50 units daily) or liraglutide (less than or equal to 1.8 mg daily), do not provide adequate glycemic control.4 Xultophy® can be taken independent of meals, at any time of day, preferably at the same time of the day.4
About the DUAL™ Clinical Development Program The approval of Xultophy® was based on efficacy and safety data from the DUAL™ (Dual Action of Liraglutide and Insulin Degludec in Type 2 Diabetes) clinical development program. In three DUAL™ trials involving 1,393 randomized adults with type 2 diabetes, patients who were inadequately controlled on liraglutide or insulin glargine and switched to Xultophy® achieved significant reductions in HbA1c.4 For adults inadequately controlled on insulin glargine and insulin degludec, Xultophy® demonstrated clinically significant greater HbA1c level reductions from baseline (-1.83% for the Xultophy® group vs -1.22% for the insulin glargine group and -1.96% for the Xultophy® group vs -0.97% for the insulin degludec group).4
The most frequently reported adverse reactions during treatment with Xultophy® were hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal adverse reactions, of which nausea was the most frequently reported and declined as treatment continued.4
About Xultophy® Xultophy® is a once-daily single injection fixed-ratio combination of long-acting insulin degludec and the GLP-1 RA liraglutide in one pen.
Insulin degludec lowers blood glucose by facilitating glucose uptake upon binding to insulin receptors on muscle and fat cells and simultaneously inhibiting hepatic glucose output.4 Liraglutide stimulates insulin secretion and decreases glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner.4

SENIORS DISCOVER SITTING TAI CHI IS GREAT MEDICINE FOR MANY AILMENTS
TELLURIDE, COLORADO (January 22, 2019) —The clinical research is piling up in favor of Tai Chi. The American Journal of Health Promotion (AJHP) published an eye-opening, benchmark review of clinical research1about the medical benefits of Tai Chi. Authors Dr. Roger Jahnke and Dr. Linda Larkey canonized the substantially favorable effects Tai Chi had on bone density, cardiopulmonary and physical functions, falls and balance, psychological symptoms, immune-related responses and others by compiling 77 peer-reviewed, randomized control trials conducted between 1993 and 2007.
One of the more surprising studies included in the AJHP review measured cell-mediated immunity to the varicella zoster virus, or shingles. Tai Chi not only boosted immunity to shingles, but also augmented the immunity of the shingles vaccine2. In laymen’s terms, practicing slow, relaxing Tai Chi movements and deep breathing can really help fight a nasty, herpes virus related to chicken pox. Another set of trials demonstrated that Tai Chi offers significant increase in balance and can greatly reduce falls in older adults.
Since the AJHP (meta-analysis) review, many more clinical research trials have demonstrated that Tai Chi practice can provide lifechanging benefits for a multitude of health issues like multiple sclerosis, COPD, Parkinson’s, chronic pain, and diabetes. Tufts Medical Center found in 2016 that Tai Chi is as effective as physical therapy to reduce the pain and physical impairment of severe knee osteoarthritis3. In fact, you can do a Internet search on “Tai Chi for” and just about any health condition and you’ll probably find something encouraging.
Tai Chi Master Tommy Kirchhoff’s “Gentle, Sitting Tai Chi” DVD guides individuals with limited mobility through gentle movements, relaxation and deep breathing. AssistedLivingToday.com ranks it as one of the top exercise buys for seniors, and it has been an Amazon top Best Seller since 2016. The product reviews on Amazon alone read like a book of mini-miracles:
“My husband is partially paralyzed and I've been very sick for 2 years and it's just what we needed.”
“I have a lung disorder that makes it hard to breathe, so this DVD is really helpful.”
“Use this (DVD) every morning. I have MS (and) this helps a lot.”
“Best sitting video that I have found. Great for those recovering from major surgeries, etc.”
“A few months ago the back problems grew worse and my wife was becoming quite miserable. It has been less than a week and she has been playing the video in the morning when she first gets up. My wife has become almost a cult follower; she tells me she is totally painless now. I don't know if she is blowing smoke, but she sure seems to move around the house like nothing is bothering her.”
“Having COPD and the top lobe of each lung removed-- this is nice product.”
“My husband Andrew has had two heart attacks, a stroke, an abdominal aortic aneurysm, a triple heart bypass, throat cancer, a compression back fracture, and many other physical aliments. He was falling twice a week. Since using your Sitting Tai Chi DVD his balance has improved, and so has his focus and energy, so I want to say thank you so much.”
Master Kirchhoff offers, “Mobility is the first indicator of health, while sedentariness leads to sickness. Everyone knows that exercise is critical to good health, but Tai Chi is endorsed by the Mayo Clinic, the National Institutes of Health, the Center for Disease Control, Harvard Health, WebMD, and Dr. Oz because the benefits of Tai Chi go much farther than just taking a walk or lifting some dumbells. Tai Chi shifts the focus from strenuous exercise to relaxing movement and deep breathing as a legitimate source of healing.”
The complete collection of Tommy Kirchhoff’s Tai Chi DVDs, including Sitting Tai Chi, Standing Energy Tai Chi and Golden Form Tai Chi, is available for purchase at HealingExercise.org, with downloads available as well.

4 Ways Cannabis Can Benefit Your Workout Regimen
People associate cannabis with all sorts of things. People nowadays are even beginning to associate the plant with exercise boons, believe it or not. If you want to take your exercise routine to the next level, it may be time to find out all you can about cannabis and how it can aid you. Cannabis may be able to revitalize your whole approach to physical fitness.
Inflammation Management
Inflammation can be a serious issue for people who exercise all of the time. Thankfully, cannabis may have the ability to decrease it considerably. If you want to take care of inflammation that affects your joints and muscles, help in the form of cannabis may be out there for you. CBD or “cannabidiol” is thought to be an inflammation management powerhouse.
Managing Sore Muscles
Soreness is often a dilemma for people who do a lot of exercise and moving their bodies around in general. If you want to decrease feelings of soreness during the breaks in the middle of your exercise sessions, the assistance of cannabis may go a long way for you. People who want to say farewell to body rigidity and lack of pliability often take the cannabis path. You can find out more about the whole concept by reaching out to recreational cannabis dispensariesin your region.
Handling Muscle Spasms
Muscle spasms can be unpleasant for people who do a lot of working out. If you want to handle your muscle spasms, then the cooperation of marijuana could be a smart option for you. Cannabis is often thought to make the healing of muscles go a lot more smoothly. Its ability to lessen muscle spasms may be the result of its anti-inflammatory components.
Sleep Help
Adequate amounts of sleep are 100 percent essential for people who want to flourish during their workout sessions. It can be difficult for people who are fatigued and sleepy to make the most out of their exercise schedules. If you want to strengthen your sleep hygiene, it may be time to learn everything you can about cannabis and getting shut-eye. People who don’t want to feel lethargic are often big cannabis devotees.
Exercise is a wonderful thing for the human body. If you’re keen on optimal health and fitness, you should make a point to learn about any and all exercise options that are in front of you. Optimizing your exercise approach is always a fantastic method.
Bored with the Bench? Unconventional Workout Equipment for Your Home
The same old workout can get boring, and if you love pushing your body, you know that standard workouts aren't going to get you better results. Both your body and mind get accustomed to the same routines, and you can reach plateaus. If you want to challenge yourself, consider using the following pieces of workout equipment.
Battle Ropes If you want to strengthen your arms, shoulders, and lats, you should install battle ropes in your home gym. But the benefits don't end there; when you move these heavy, corded ropes, you also work your abs, glutes, and back. While you might associate battle ropes with only a limited number of exercises, there are several workout routinesthat you can incorporate.
Steel Mace There are several benefits to incorporating a steel mace bar into your home gym. One of the most obvious ones is that it doesn't require any installation. All you need is enough room to swing the steel mace without hitting anything. There are also many benefits to your body. A steel mace is designed to incorporate instability to increase strength and agility. When you're using traditional weights, your body might become rigid. But when you use a steel mace to train, your body must react as the weight shifts. Steel mace bars are also great because they allow you to change the level of difficulty simply by moving your hands. If you need to start out on an easier mode, keep your hands spread wide apart. If you want more of a challenge, keep them closer together and farther away from the ball.
Parallettes As a piece of equipment that is designed to simulate the uneven bars in gymnastics, parallettes are used by many fitness enthusiasts. This type of equipment is great for a home gym because the bars are small, and you can store them when you're not using them, giving you more room in small home gyms. You can use your own body weight to build strength in your arms, back, core, and even your legs.
Swim Spa Swim spas are infinite swimming pools. While you need some space in your backyard, you need considerably less than you would with a traditional swimming pool. Plus, you never run into a wall, and you can set the speed that you want to swim at. Many companies, such as Marquis Spas, can help you find the right swim spa for your needs.
Weight benches are classic fitness equipment, but more fitness enthusiasts are learning about the benefits of switching up their routines. By combining routines that challenge your body, you can push it to the next le
National Marijuana Legislation At Fork In The Legislative Road The dream of marijuana advocates is that Congress will pass a marijuana bill that will make pot instantly legal throughout America. But even though the midterm elections brought more people to Congress who support marijuana reform, it looks like that dream may have to wait. In the meantime, several bills have been filed in the new Democrat-controlled House of Representatives that take different approaches to the issue. The most important differences concern how these bills handle the Controlled Substances Act, which classifies marijuana as similar to heroin and cocaine. Just like its name implies, HB 420 – the “Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act” – would regulate marijuana just like alcohol is across the country. The second bill, “Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States (STATES) Act,” would not. A third bill, the “Compassionate Access, Research Expansion, and Respect States Act (“CARERS Act”) would essentially nullify application of the Controlled Substances Act as to medical marijuana in compliance with state law. The CARERS Act also would authorize physicians at the Department of Veterans Affairs to recommend medical marijuana to veterans who live in states with medical marijuana programs. “It will be interesting to see which of these bills garners the most support,” says Sarah Lee Gossett Parrish (www.sarahleegossettparrish.com), a cannabis industry lawyer. “HB 420 is certainly more sweeping, but the STATES Act may obtain more bipartisan support, and the CARERS Act likely will be popular with those who believe marijuana should be legalized only when its usage is indicated for medicinal value” The STATES Act is narrower and relies more on the argument that states should decide how to handle marijuana reform instead of Washington. Supporters of the bill think that approach would also allow a defense for conservative members of Congress who vote for the bill. “Congress members with conservative constituencies could rest on the tenet that states’ rights issues carry the day, without wading too deeply into the issues concerning legalization of marijuana at the federal level,” says Parrish. “It would also give them a defense against conservative critics who might call them soft on crime or soft on drugs if they support the bill.” The STATES Act would allow states to legalize marijuana without the threat of federal interference. Unlike HB 420, it would not legalize marijuana at the federal level. However, it gives each state the freedom to decide how to handle cannabis within its own borders, and more importantly, it would make it unlawful for the Department of Justice to enforce provisions of the Controlled Substances Act against state-legal marijuana users and cannabis businesses. The Cannabis Trade Federation (“CTA”) supports the STATES Act because it believes this bill has the best chance of passage. Senator Elizabeth Warren and Corey Gardner have championed the bill in the Senate. Many pot supporters think the CTA should be pressuring lawmakers to sign on with Blumenauer’s 420 bill instead of supporting the STATES Act. HB 420 would allow for the interstate transportation of marijuana, while the STATES Act would not. A Gallup poll recently found that:
Two out of three Americans favor national legalization.
More than 93 percent favor allowing a physician to prescribe medical cannabis to patients.
Only 13 percent of respondents said they would vote for a candidate based on that candidate’s position on marijuana legalization.
Parrish says regardless of which bill makes it through Congress, it will have a positive impact and will clarify the issue for everybody who involved in the cannabis legalization movement.

One Woman's Mission To 'Quiet The Anger' And Reduce Stress
Charlotte, NC, January 17, 2019 ― Charlotte pastor and face of the popular Car Chronicles Movement, Jameliah Young-Mitchell has penned The Death of the Angry Black Woman—a book published by Warren Publishing that discusses stereotypes faced by African-American women. The book released at #1 on Amazon.com for New Releases in the Anger Management category.
Anger can get the best of many women, but when anger erupts into rage and leads to shouting, fighting, and name-calling, it's time to look within and make a change. The Death of the Angry Black Woman boldly acknowledges stereotypes faced by women in the black community and uncovers the seeds that lead many to live anger-filled lives. Instilled with Biblical scripture and jaw-dropping honesty, this debut book from Pastor Jameliah Young-Mitchell, the voice behind the popular Car Chronicles Movement, will empower you to bury your anger, reject false labels, and embrace the new you.
"I wrote this book for all the women out there who are dealing with anger that they have yet to find the source of,” said Young-Mitchell. "Many women in the black community come from backgrounds of abuse, mistreatment, violence––and they become fighters. Through my book I hope to be that voice in their head, the one we all hear but rarely acknowledge, encouraging them to move on, let go of anger, reject hateful labels, embrace their powerful femininity, and live the life God intended them to live.”
Pastor Jameliah Young-Mitchell is the daughter of the late Evangelist Violetta B. Young and Pastor James I. Young, and grew up in Brooklyn, NY, as the youngest of four kids. She has preached across the United States and internationally and is the pastor of Unity Church Charlotte. Young-Mitchell is an experienced keynote speaker for women's empowerment, teen and youth mentoring, corporate America, and relationships. She is the voice behind the popular Car Chronicles Movement where she can be seen live on Facebook Monday through Friday at 7:30 a.m. Young-Mitchell is the proud mother of a son and daughter and resides in Charlotte, NC, with her husband, Calvin W. Mitchell.
The Death of the Angry Black Woman is available at warrenpublishing.net, Amazon.com, or wherever books are sold. Jameliah Young-Mitchell is available for book signings and interviews.
Select excerpts from many five-star reviews on Amazon.com:
"This book is an awesome read! The transparency and life examples of Pastor Jameliah Young- Mitchell gives [sic] the reader a firsthand view of what an overcomer looks like. There is something for everyone to learn and apply to their lives to become better people.”
"At first I wasn't interested in reading this book because I felt that I was not 'Angry' but as I read I discovered that I was angry and suffered some of the same things but learned how to mask the pain. This book allowed me to begin the process of a new me. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is in need of refocusing.”
"I recently joined a book club with a few other ladies and this was one of the first books recommended. I could relate to a lot of the content in the book and was able to dig a little deeper and have a little self-reflection afterwards. I highly recommend this!”
"I liked everything about the book. From the start to the end... it's a mind-blowing moment for real I tell you! This is a 10-star book.”
"This book is just awesome. It has definitely set me free, it has been a blessing to My Mind & Soul.”
"[Jameliah] is very candid in this book. She has a way of leading, teaching, and encouraging, all while openly acknowledging that she too is still learning. It is written in such a way that EVERYBODY can understand. I love it!!”
