Regular Skin Checks Are the Key to Melanoma Detection

YourUpdateTV

May is Melanoma Awareness Month, so it’s time to talk about melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer. Melanoma claims the lives of more than 7,000 Americans each year – almost one every hour – and most cases are caused by sun exposure. Recently, Board Certified Dermatologists, Dr. Julie Karen and Dr. Amy Spizuoco, teamed with DermTech to discuss the disease, the importance of regular skin checks, and technology that can help enhance detection. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/LgppRu6_HTc It’s important to know the warning signs of skin cancer, and that sun safety and skin checks should be routine. The ABCDEs of melanoma (asymmetry, border, color, diameter and evolving) are often the characteristics of skin damage that doctors look for when identifying possible melanomas. In order to catch melanoma early, it’s recommended people schedule regular skin exams with their dermatologists. When melanoma is detected early, the five-year survival rate is >99%, but it drops to 27% once it spreads distantly. The traditional pathway for melanoma detection often involves doctors relying on the appearance of a mole and skin biopsies to determine its likelihood of being malignant. Skin biopsies have only a 5% melanoma diagnosis rate, meaning many skin biopsies are unnecessary. Fortunately, technology is changing the way suspicious moles are evaluated. The DermTech Melanoma Test uses a non-invasive Smart Sticker™ to lift skin cells from the surface of a patient’s skin to be tested for select genomic markers associated with the disease. A negative test result means there is a greater than 99% probability that the mole is not melanoma. For more information, visit DermTech.com About Dr. Julie Karen Dr. Julie Karen is a board-certified dermatologist who specializes in Mohs micrographic surgery, laser surgery, skin cancer, cosmetic dermatology and the treatment of leg veins.

What indie beauty brand do Sharon Stone, Katie Couric, Naomi Watts and Gwyneth Paltrow all love?

Biography

Sharon Stone says it’s like “caviar for the skin.” Naomi Watts posted an Instagram “shelfie” featuring her favorite, Gwyneth Paltrow chose it for her Goop gift guide and Katie Couric continues to rave about it on her social media. So, what’s the buzz all about? Linda Thompson founded her beauty brand, Biography in 2020. The line is made up of high-quality, carefully blended “active” oils for face; and now NEW oil-infused formulas for the body, all designed to protect the skin and leave it clarified, rejuvenated, hydrated and renewed. Thanks to celebrity makeup artists who constantly request Biography for their clients, in just two short years, the brand has developed a cult-like following, and has been picked up by top retailers including Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. Here’s why. Actives are ingredients that actively work toward an intended purpose or specific skincare concern. These ingredients have been proven scientifically to change the structure of the skin at a cellular level. They work to repair, rejuvenate, hydrate, protect and nourish cells. Biography uses these potent “active” ingredients at carefully blended concentrations to address specific concerns. “For people with sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin, we recommend Long June calm face oil. It contains lightweight, soothing chamomile and apricot seed oil, so it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling moisturized and soothed,” explains Thompson. One of the star ingredients in Biography’s Petty Grudges repair blend is rosehip seed oil, vitamin C phenols, and trans-retinoic acid that help repair UV damage, lighten dark spots, and soften fine lines. Biography’s Golden Ray glow face oil contains a few different actives, one of which is French marine algae. “At the concentration in Golden Ray, that algae is clinically proven to stimulate collagen production, which improves elasticity and softens wrinkles,” Thompson says. “Carrot seed oil — another active that’s packed with vitamins A, C, and E — works in tandem to help repair sun damage and scars, boost collagen, and moisturize your skin. It’s a really powerful, but gentle, product great for people with aging or damaged skin,” Thompson says. Thompson recommends applying face oil on damp skin so it locks in hydration for a longer-lasting, dewy look. Regardless of post-cleansing products, face oils should be the final step in a skincare routine. This is because oils create an occlusive layer on the skin, which not only seals in moisture but creates a smooth canvas under sunscreen and makeup. In addition to the newness of the mini size oils, created due to popular demand, the brand has just launched an oil-infused Hand and Body Wash and a Hand and Body Cream. The wash is a gel-like cleanser that gently purifies skin, while finely-ground Quartz and Pumice work to exfoliate leaving skin softened and buffed. Other actives include Butterfly Bush and White Peony. The Hand and Body Cream is instantly absorbed and offers up to 12 hours of hydration with skin-softening effects thanks to ingredients like Babassu seed oil, Butterfly Bush, Camellia seed oil, and a Watermelon/Quinoa blend. Both the Wash and Cream are available in two unique scents. First Edition is reminiscent of a private library in an old-world cathedral, with scents of leather-bound folios, pencil shavings, musty floorboards with a whiff of freshly picked early blooms. O pen Garden suggests a bursting, humid greenhouse with fresh, yet tender blossoms. Think if Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’ were a clean fragrance.

Colon Cancer Creeping Into Younger Adults - New R&D Uncovers Early Signs

MarketJar

Spots of blood after bowel movements, stomach aches, and protracted episodes of diarrhea may be symptoms of early-onset colorectal cancer, which is increasingly diagnosed in young adults who are ineligible for colonoscopies. The most concerning early indicator of colon cancer is rectal bleeding, which is taboo to talk about outside of the bathroom. According to Dr. Matthew Kalady in a recent NBC News article, head of the division of colon and rectal surgery at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, "It can be difficult or embarrassing to talk about." However, he added, "the reality is that everyone deals with something like this," and it's crucial to know what's typical and what isn't. 5,075 people with early-onset colorectal cancer were included in the new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, which was published Thursday in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The intention was to identify symptoms that could serve as warning signs for colorectal cancer, a condition that has been on the rise in younger individuals in recent years but whose alarmingly high rate of late-stage diagnosis warrants concern. The percentage of colorectal cancer diagnoses involving individuals under the age of 55 quadrupled from 1995 to 2019, from 11% to 20%, according to the American Cancer Society. Up to two years before a colon cancer diagnosis, the current study identified four different signals: Abdominal pain. Rectal bleeding. Ongoing diarrhea. Anemia due to iron deficiency. At least one of the symptoms, which could have started up to two years prior to a diagnosis, was experienced by participants. However, a colonoscopy is only advised at or after the age of 45. This implies that patients may have symptoms for a long time before seeking medical attention or receiving a colon cancer diagnosis, which is treatable if discovered early. The study's lead author, Dr. Cassandra Fritz, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of gastrointestinal at the Washington University School of Medicine, said, "As patients, we kind of brush these things away." At least one of such symptoms was present in nearly half of the study subjects three months before their diagnoses. Additional symptoms increased the likelihood of a cancer diagnosis. The study, according to fellow author Yin Cao, an associate professor of surgery in the department of public health sciences at Washington University School of Medicine, indicates an "alarming problem" for young adults and the medical professionals who treat them. “Young folks need to be aware of these indicators”, Cao stated in an interview, and “this is the message we are making loud and clear.” Committed to Saving Lives by Improving At-Home Cancer Detection A non-invasive, quick, easy, and accurate colorectal detection test is available from Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ:MYNZ). Stool tests are more accurate than blood tests and may be performed in the comfort of your own home, making them a more practical choice. In addition to early colon cancer detection, on May 10th Mainz Biomed announced a partnership with Microba Life Sciences for the Development of PancAlert. The combination of DNA and microbiome biomarkers has the potential to improve the technical profile of a novel pancreatic cancer screening test. A collaborative research initiative is underway to identify disease-specific microbiome biomarkers. With ColoAlert already out in the market, PancAlert looks to be another monumental tool helping savr lives from pancreatic cancer. The company's core product, ColoAlert, is an at-home colorectal cancer (CRC) screening kit with high sensitivity and specificity. Patients are given a basic kit that includes directions, a stool collector, and mailing instructions so they can mail the kit back to their local lab for testing and results. This non-invasive test can identify malignancies earlier than fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) by analyzing tumor DNA. ColoAlert, a stool test that uses PCR technology, finds more cases of colorectal cancer than traditional stool tests and enables early detection. Through a network of top independent laboratories, corporate health initiatives, and direct sales, this screening test is CE marked and is commercially available in a number of European countries. To receive commercial approval in the US, ColoAlert will be examined in the FDA-registered trial "ReconAAsense." Once licensed in the United States, the Company's commercial objective is to build scalable distribution across the nation through a cooperative partner program with local and national laboratory service providers. For the processing of the ColoAlert PCR test kit, Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ:MYNZ) has expanded its network of lab partners to include Eurofins GeLaMed. A division of the global laboratory corporation Eurofins Scientific, which does 450 million tests annually and employs over 61,000 people in 61 nations, is Eurofins GeLaMed. Germany is home to four of its locations. Eurofins GeLaMed offers cutting-edge diagnostics in human genetics, medical microbiology, laboratory medicine, and molecular diagnostics across eleven medical specialties. The more than 500 staff of GeLaMed process more than 15,000 orders daily and offer more than 2,000 analytical procedures from their portfolios in laboratory medicine and microbiology, all under the supervision of medical specialists. Marcus Cholewa, Director of Clinical Diagnostics for Eurofins Business Line in DACH, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership between Mainz Biomed and Eurofins GeLaMed because Eurofins consistently offers the highest levels of quality, customer service, and the most thorough testing methodologies. Additionally, he said that Eurofins has a track record of offering innovative and high-quality diagnostic testing solutions, and that by collaborating, they could be able to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and give patients individualized information to help them manage their health. In order to raise awareness of the importance of early screening for CRC identification and prevention, Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ:MYNZ) will support physician and patient education programs during March Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and Eurofins GeLaMed will provide ColoAlert at its testing locations. Additionally, Mainz Biomed has expanded its network of lab partners across Europe and a few overseas markets by including the Instituto de Microecologia in Madrid. For more than 60 years, the Instituto de Microecologia has been a leader in the study of the microbiota and food sensitivity, emphasizing the importance of intestinal health through microbiological investigation, microbiota profile diagnosis, and specialized health indicators. The company's ongoing expansion in Europe may be seen in Mainz Biomed's entry into the market and commercialization in Spain and Portugal.

MYANIML EXPANDS PREDICTIVE HEALTH PLATFORM USING MUZZLES TO DETECT DISEASE IN CATTLE

MyAnIML

Using its AI-enabled predictive health platform to improve the security of the beef and dairy supply chain through early disease prediction, MyAnIML™ released today new geolocation technology to identify and find sick cattle 2-3 days in advance of symptoms to protect the health of the herd. MyAnIML’s patent-pending technology employs artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict a broad range of total health indicators using the industry’s first facial - specifically a cow’s muzzle - recognition library dataset, designed and built by MyAnIML. Its newly released Bluetooth-enabled ear tag helps producers quickly find the individual animal in the herd in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. “We know from advances in human biometrics and deep-learning technology that the face can be a reliable predictor of disease. Using the same concept, we can now “fingerprint” an individual cow’s muzzle to monitor its health and predict a variety of issues days in advance,” said Shekhar Gupta, MyAnIML’s founder and CEO, who discovered and commercialized the first-of-its-kind technology solution in animal agriculture. “By addressing symptoms early, we can better ensure the health and well-being of the entire herd for a more reliable and efficient food supply chain.” Together, the hardware and software stack offer the global beef and dairy industries a more precise method of herd health management when profit margins continue to be razor thin and the cost of meat, dairy and other food products remain high. Based on a comprehensive analysis of cattle lost to diseases, cost of medical treatment and low productivity impacts, MyAnIML estimates the U.S. cattle industry loses approximately $200 billion annually. For example, Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) costs the U.S. feedlot industry up to $900 million annually in treatment costs, and total industry losses are much higher when productivity losses are factored in, according to the American Society of Animal Science. BRD is just one of many diseases and health metrics MyAnIML identifies days before other health technologies, allowing producers to isolate the animal and start earlier treatment. Predictive Analytics Reduces Antibiotics Use and Creates More Resilient Supply Chains Earlier treatment means cattle producers can use antibiotics more efficiently, reducing costs and inhibiting the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a rising concern amongst health professionals. More than 70% of all medically important antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used in livestock production. The cattle industry takes up the bulk of that demand, using antibiotics to treat sick animals and as a preventative measure. A typical 5000-head feedlot spends $250,000 annually on antibiotics just to preemptively treat calves for BRD, Gupta said. “Antibiotics have been a powerful tool to keep U.S. herds healthy, but by identifying infected animals days earlier in the disease cycle, producers can reduce the risk to the herd by an individual animal. It’s a win-win for producers and consumer health,” Gupta said. AI and Bluetooth Technology Identifies A Sick Cow In Large-Scale Operations MyAnIML ’s Bluetooth ear tag was developed specifically to help large-scale commercial feedlots, stockyards and dairies implement predictive health technology into day-to-day operations. Unlike other ear tag technology in the market, like RFID tags, MyAnIML’s tag helps pen riders quickly find a specific animal using their mobile device, saving hours of labor and more rapidly removing sick animals from the herd. “In a large-scale, or even small-scale system, being able to accurately predict a sick cow is a huge benefit. But finding that animal has been like finding a needle in a haystack,” said Nathan Leiker, a northwestern Kansas cow-calf and feedlot operator using the MyAnIML technology since early 2022. “MyAnIML’s Bluetooth ear tags connect the dots between disease prediction and animal identification. Now I just check my phone and it takes me directly to the cow I want.” How it works: Strategically mounted cameras take multiple images of cows’ muzzles daily, monitoring for changes. Images are analyzed against MyAnIML’s library of health indicators. When a sick animal is detected, an alert with its ID is sent to the rancher. MyAnIML’s geolocation app’s directional arrows and audio signal leads ranchers directly to that animal. Commercially available in the U.S. since 2022 with multiple large installations and pilot projects underway in 2023, MyAnIML has attracted international interest and plans rapid scale-up in the coming years. Ranchers or dairy producers interested in implementing the technology can visit myaniml.com for more information. About MyAnIML MyAnIML, an AI startup for animal agriculture, invented and commercialized the first-of-its-kind platform for early disease prediction in cattle using facial recognition technology focused on a cow’s muzzle. The initial discovery is the product of intense curiosity and a sense of purpose by the founder, a computer scientist, and his wife, a physician. Founded in 2021, MyAnIML’s mission is to help ensure the health and well-being of cattle while ensuring an affordable and safe food supply. Partnering with veterinarians, land grant universities and ranchers, the company’s experience developing and scaling data platforms for other industries is now being applied to animal agriculture.

Ripken Baseball

Ripken Baseball®, the leader in youth sports events and facilities, has acquired Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center in Sandusky, Ohio, located between Cleveland and Toledo. Known for creating lifelong family experiences, Ripken Baseball will operate next to one of the world's most acclaimed amusement parks Cedar Point. Ripken Baseball takes over the operation of Sports Force Parks beginning with the 2023 season, which is underway with over 50 tournaments on its schedule. The acquisition raises Ripken Baseball’s total number of youth sports complexes to six nationwide. The announcement confirms Ripken Baseball has expanded into sports beyond baseball and softball for the first time. Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center includes multi-purpose fields with the capacity of 11 baseball/softball synthetic turf diamonds or eight full-size soccer fields that are convertible to create up to 21 youth soccer fields, in addition to one ADA-accessible field for adaptive sports. The state-of-the-art playing surfaces allow the complex to host baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, and youth football tournaments. “Adding Sports Force Parks to the Ripken Baseball family is significant on many levels,” said Michael Kenney, CEO of Ripken Baseball. “We now have an opportunity to bring a Big League experience to not only baseball and softball, but also soccer, lacrosse, and even football.

Oakwood Lodging Group creates a seamless experience for youth teams traveling outside their home market to book hotels, flights, and other travel needs efficiently. “When my late friend, co-founder, and the vision behind Sports Force Parks, Brian Storm, first dreamed of entering the youth sports business, he endeavored to build parks where sports, family, and fun could bring people together,” said Mark Stalnaker, President of Sports Fields, Inc. “The model was built on the strong foundation that Ripken had already established for baseball but also added a variety of other sports such as soccer, softball, and lacrosse. Brian would be thrilled to see the growth opportunities that the industry leader Ripken Baseball can offer to Sports Force Parks employees as they are the backbone of the brand and have made the companies so successful.” Sports Fields, Inc. designed, built, and managed Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center, and also created Oakwood Lodging, and 17 Tournaments.

NO DOGS LEFT BEHIND EVACUATES DOG MEAT TRADE SURVIVORS IN EFFORT TO MAKE ROOM TO RESCUE AND SHELTER THE VOICELESS VICTIMS IN ADVANCE OF YULIN

No Dogs Left Behind

No Dogs Left Behind (NDLB), the US-based international non-profit foundation, a leader in global emergency response fighting for global animal welfare laws, and saving the innocent voiceless from slaughter, announced today that it is evacuating its dog meat trade survivors to the USA. “This is an integral part of our plan in our ongoing efforts to save lives in East Asia, to rescue helpless and defenseless dogs from the grasp of butchers and dog traffickers who are collecting them now for the Yulin dog meat festival that begins on June 19 th,” explained Jeffrey Beri, NDLB founder. “Urgent funds are needed now and we are reaching out for help to save innocent lives.” It is estimated that this festival of death is responsible for torturing and killing tens of thousands of helpless dogs for meat consumption. While the slaughter of dogs takes place 365 days a year in East Asia, this “Festival” by far is the cruelest, most barbaric display of violence towards animals in the history of the world. The dogs that are collected for this 10-day event are transported to holding facilities until they have gathered enough dogs to transport to be butchered. They are held in very cramped, deplorable conditions, often without food or water. Once they arrive to their destination, they are then tortured and killed. Often in the worst ways imaginable... by being bludgeoned death, blowtorched, boiled alive, skinned alive and dismembered. All while being fully conscious. No Dogs Left Behind works hands-on with local activists in East Asia fighting the fight on the front lines, through emergency response, pulling dogs directly from slaughterhouses, dogmeat trucks, wet markets, and traffickers, without exchange of money. “For every dog bought from a butcher, ten more dogs will be slaughtered,” explained Beri. No Dogs Left Behind does not exchange money for dogs. Rather we aim to shut down and intercept dogs being traded and sold by illegal dealers and traffickers. These illegal dog traffickers lack the required documentation for animal trade. This criminal dog cartel often acts as any cartel would with violence and lawlessness. The brave activists and No Dogs Left Behind team risk their own safety for the life of the dogs. NDLB’s first evacuation of dog meat survivors took place in late March with nearly 50 survivors arriving to the safety of the USA. An additional evacuation of 48 dog meat trade survivors, including Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Pomeranians, will land at JFK International Airport in New York this week. “These are the first two transports by NDLB to the USA since the CDC revised its ban with additional rules for bringing in dogs from banned countries,” said Beri. “All dogs on this second flight, except a few that have already been adopted, will be going to our new Canton, NY Sanctuary, which opened in March 2023,” added Beri. 15 Goldens will be having a short stay in our Canton, NY facility until they begin their journey to the west coast with our rescue partner Golden Bond Rescue. More transports are planned this spring if funding can be secured. “As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, our work is so dependent on the kindness and generosity of dog lovers all around the world, who have joined us to fight the good fight in saving lives. We are reaching out to animal lovers everywhere now to please help us in our efforts to save lives by making a donation,” pleads Beri. “Urgent funds needed. Please fight the good fight with us.” Check donations can be sent to No Dogs Left Behind, 244 5 th Avenue, Suite 200, New York, NY 10001. Online donations can be made via the NDLB’s fundraising page at: http://bit.ly/NDLB_SaveB4Yulin NDLB PayPal Charity Page https://bit.ly/NDLB_PayPalGivingFund NDLB Venmo Charity Page https://bit.ly/NDLB_Official_Venmo No Dogs Left Behind (NDLB) has differentiated itself as leaders in emergency response, rescue, and evacuation, making a global impact in the lives of dogs around the world. “We go where no one is willing nor able to go, the most dangerous places in the world, areas hard-hit by natural disasters and war-infested combat zones,” explains Jeffrey Beri, NDLB founder. NDLB’s mission is to fight for an end to the dog meat trade in East Asia, bring about global animal welfare laws and to save lives in East Asia as well as beyond borders including but not limited to the endangered Galgos in Spain, the dogs of war in Ukraine and earthquake survivors from Turkey. The foundation’s mission extends beyond borders, advocating for the creation and enforcement of animal welfare laws, and raising awareness for a cruelty-free, sustainable world in which no animal is violated, exploited, tortured or slaughtered for commercial goods or profit. With nearly 500 survivors in its care, No Dogs Left Behind operates sanctuaries in Dayi in East Asia and now, in Canton, New York, USA. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.
