Denver School Air Filters Expert from Camfil Shares Study On How Air Pollution May Cause Increased School Absences

KISS PR Brand Story

Recent research has discovered a concerning link between air pollution and increasing school absence, providing insight into the more significant effects of air quality on education. Denver School Air Filters, a prominent advocate for clean indoor air, is spreading this information to emphasize the importance of indoor air quality in schools. The study, which was done in Utah, revealed a clear correlation between more significant levels of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and higher rates of school absence. According to the study, school absenteeism spiked the day after a "red air day," when outdoor air quality reached hazardous levels. Even in locations where "red air days" are rare, the study discovered that minor increases in PM 2.5 levels can significantly increase student absence. This alarming rise is due to the detrimental health effects of short-term particulate matter exposure, which include coughing, sneezing, sore throats, disorientation, headaches, migraines, and difficulty breathing. These results highlight the significance of indoor air quality in maintaining a healthy and productive learning environment. Camfil Denver School Air Filters emphasizes the importance of adopting effective air filtration and purification systems within educational buildings to mitigate the effects of outside air pollution on students' health and academic performance.

Furniture For Life Provides Valuable Insight on Massage Chair Design and Why Massage Chair Choreography Matters

KISS PR Brand Story

On the surface, it might seem easy to judge a massage chair based on features and specifications. However, the truth is there is something far more important, and it will never show up on a comparison chart: choreography. But what exactly is massage chair choreography, why does it matter so much, and how do you tell which chairs are the best at it? Merriam-Webster defines choreography as “the composition and arrangement of dances especially for ballet.” The best luxury massage chair brands, like OHCO, have adapted this term to refer to how a chair’s rollers, air cells, and other components “dance” across the human body in a planned and coordinated way to create an intended effect. That effect may be relaxation, pain relief, or increased mobility. Mimicking a Massage Therapist’s Hands: An Art, Not a Science The list of massage chairs—even luxury massage chairs—offering exceptional choreography is short. Why is that? In most cases, massage chair manufacturers rely on more obvious, less expensive features like touchscreens, wireless cell phone chargers, or extra massage rollers to WOW shoppers while they’re trying the chair. If these inexpensive features can convince someone to make a purchase, the manufacturer saves money on time-intensive and expensive choreography. In the end, creating great massage chair choreography is an art that takes a great deal of time, effort, and patience. It is only through a long and difficult process that any massage chair is able to faithfully reproduce the movements and patterns of a massage therapist’s hands. But, with expert guidance and proper commitment, it can be done, as evidenced by chairs like the OHCO M.8 NEO. OHCO: The Pursuit of Exceptional Massage Chair Choreography To create a truly transcendent massage chair experience through the use of highly choreographed movements, OHCO’s engineers worked closely with revered Japanese shiatsu sensei Akira Okabayashi. He demonstrated the nuanced motions, levels of pressure, speed, and timing of movements that he uses to address each area of the body. The engineers translated this masterful symphony of touch into the chair’s programming. (And OHCO also went “all in” on the aesthetics of these chairs with guidance from legendary designer Ken Okuyama.) How Do You Know If a Luxury Massage Chair Has Excellent Choreography? The answer to this is simple, if unempirical: You have to try several chairs for an extended period of time—at least 30 minutes—in a quiet setting, so that you can experience the differences. This is the only effective way to become familiar with the movements of any given massage chair. More importantly, it’s the only way to understand what you like and dislike about a specific massage chair model. Try to avoid being distracted by inconsequential features, and just be mindful of your body. When you visit a Furniture For Life showroom, a Comfort Consultant can speak to each chair’s unique elements of choreography. But in the end, choreography (like beauty) is in the eye (or, in this case, the body) of the beholder. A chair considered by industry experts to be the gold standard in choreography may strike you exactly that way. If so, that’s great. But it may not. While the reputation of a massage chair manufacturer or a particular model might be excellent, you could discover that you prefer the experience you get from a different chair. Meeting your specific needs and preferences is essential when purchasing a massage chair. Why Massage Chair Choreography Matters Get into a massage chair with excellent choreography, start one of the programs, sit back and relax, and you’ll quickly understand the first reason well-coordinated movements matter. The massage just feels right. The movements. The rhythm. The dexterity in the amount of pressure applied. You can easily imagine a skilled massage therapist working your muscles. Whether the massage chair is providing a relaxing or invigorating session, the sensations alone are reason enough for many people to focus on choreography in making their purchase. But what you’re feeling “in the moment” is only the start. Just as significant as your immediate enjoyment of a massage are the longer-term benefits. All high-quality massage chairs provide them, but those with exceptional choreography often are even better at delivering: Improved circulation. The massage rollers and air cells can help to improve circulation by stimulating blood flow. And improved blood flow can reduce inflammation and pain in the muscles. Reduced stress. As the rhythmic movements of the massage relax your muscles and relieve your pain, they can also reduce your mental and emotional stress and anxiety. That benefit is partly due to massage triggering the release of endorphins that have mood-boosting effects. Deeper, more restful sleep. Muscle tension, pain, and emotional stress can all make it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep. Massage addresses those issues and prepares your body to drift off and get the restorative rest you need. These are just some of the benefits of getting massages regularly. And “regularly” is critical. If you receive in-person massage sporadically, you may not experience these effects as fully or at all. The tension your body accumulates over many weeks, months, and years is most effectively and thoroughly released when you get into a cadence of regular—ideally daily—sessions. That’s easiest, of course, when you have a massage chair in your home. Some massage chair users feel the best when they start their day with an invigorating massage and end it with a relaxing session. But whatever frequency and program you choose, the benefits of excellent massage chair choreography add up over time. Create Your Own Made-to-Order Massage It’s also important to understand that advanced massage chairs enable you to do a certain amount of choreography yourself. Not the type where you develop massage programs, of course. But chairs typically have settings you can adjust to tailor a session to your needs. Whether that’s focusing on a specific area, dialing the intensity up or down, or some other adjusting of the massage characteristics, you end up with a session that soothes or stimulates your body precisely the way you want. Massage chairs are like so many other devices we use. We often just scratch the surface of their features and functions in our rush to dive in. That’s vital to remember as a Comfort Consultant shows you the OHCO M.8 NEO or any of the offerings from our curated collection of The World’s Best Massage Chairs®. Take your time, experiment with all the settings, and be sure you understand the full range of the chair’s functionality. You’ll find the atmosphere in our stores is conducive to thorough research. We want to help you find a chair that will change your life for the better, but we’re in absolutely no hurry to do so. Your long-term satisfaction is our priority. You should fully experience the choreography and truly get to know the massage chair that will become a focal point of your physical health and emotional well-being.

PathAI Diagnostics Unveils World’s First AI-Assisted Laboratory Developed Test for MASLD and MASH

PathAI

PathAI Diagnostics, a leading laboratory services company, today announced the world's first AI-Assisted Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) for the histologic scoring and staging of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). This pioneering advancement will be introduced at the American College of Gastroenterology 2023 (ACG2023) Meeting in Vancouver, Canada, from October 20-25. MASLD and MASH are posing an escalating healthcare challenge, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Recent estimates suggest that approximately 37.8% of the global adult population suffers from some form of MASLD, with 5-6% of the U.S. adult population at risk of progressing to MASH—a potential precursor to severe conditions such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. 1-3 While the gold standard for MASLD/MASH scoring is liver biopsy, the scoring provided by pathologists can exhibit variability. 4-5 In fact, there can be as much as a 30% disagreement in MASH diagnosis between pathologists, and intra-observer variability can reach up to 41% for the same case. 6 Accurate scoring and staging are paramount, as each fibrosis stage corresponds to approximately a two-fold increase in liver-related mortality. 7 In order to better tackle this growing issue, PathAI Diagnostics developed AI.Dx MASH, a laboratory developed test, which provides AI-assisted histologic scoring that supports expert pathologists with enhanced insights for liver biopsy reporting. "We are excited to bring the world's first AI-assisted Laboratory Developed Test for MASH to market,” said Jim Sweeney, President of PathAI Diagnostics. “The tool uses our deep expertise in AI-powered pathology coupled with our world-class diagnostics laboratory to improve patient outcomes through AI-assisted histologic scoring for MASH." This groundbreaking tool utilizes an AI algorithm that has been proven to significantly reduce inter- and intra-operator variability in CRN scoring. Moreover, AI.Dx MASH reports include image overlays and quantitation, offering a comprehensive view of steatosis, lobular inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning, and fibrosis, thus facilitating more accurate diagnosis and staging. 8-11 “AI.Dx MASH provides a powerful tool for histologic MASH scoring by offering visual image overlays of key features to show how a score was reached,” said R. Shawn Kinsey, MD, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary pathologist at PathAI Diagnostics. “This addresses one of the key challenges that leads to variability when assessing progression of the disease for a more accurate summary of a patient’s condition to inform future treatment and intervention.” Learn more about AI.Dx MASH and PathAI Diagnostics at Booth 613 at the 2023 American College of Gastroenterologists Meeting in Vancouver, Canada, October 20-25.

PathAI Announces Launch of AIM-TumorCellularity (AIM-TC), an AI-Based Tumor Cellularity Assessment Product to Inform Advanced Molecular Testing

PathAI

PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology, today announced the launch of AIM-TumorCellularity (AIM-TC), the latest algorithm product available for use by laboratories utilizing the AISight Image Management System (IMS). 1 AIM-TC enables automated assessment of tumor cellularity, or tumor fraction, which is utilized to determine if there is sufficient tumor tissue to support advanced next generation sequencing (NGS) testing. Insufficient tumor DNA is a common failure mode in comprehensive genomic profiling and results in the destruction of precious tissue without molecular biomarker information to inform care decisions. AIM-TC solves for this by running on a standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) whole slide image and can automatically determine the tumor area and percentage of tumor nuclei. “As a molecular pathologist myself, I know how important accurate tumor cellularity assessment is. Many laboratories struggle with high NGS failure rates due to insufficient tumor content in the sample, leading to wasted time and expense.” said Andy Beck M.D. Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of PathAI. “Because of this, it’s become standard practice for pathologists to manually assess tumor fraction. We now have the opportunity to automate this step with AI, allowing pathologists to focus on other tasks.” Tumor cellularity assessment can be time consuming and onerous, particularly when the tumor content is low. 2,3 For high volume laboratories, AIM-TC can reduce the amount of pathologist time spent on tumor cellularity assessments while also providing standardized, quantitative metrics to support more accurate determination of the required tissue inputs. “AIM-TC is a great example of how AI can augment the pathology laboratory and eliminate routine, stressful and time-consuming activities, allowing pathologists to focus on what they do best,” said Tobias Kull, PhD., bioinformatician in the Molecular Pathology Unit of University Hospital Zurich. “We expect that if implemented widely in our practice, AIM-TC can save hundreds of hours of pathologist time that can instead be used for case sign-off and patient care.” AIM-TC is currently available in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and will be launched in 12 additional tumor types (including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and urothelial carcinoma) in the coming months. To learn more about AISight, PathAI’s Image Management System, or AIM-TC, please visit our website, request a meeting with our team, or visit us at PathVisions in Orlando, Florida (Booth #206; October 29-31, 2023). 1 AIM Tumor Cellularity and AISight are Research Use Only.

From Crowded Airports to Clearer Skies: A Fresh Approach to US Air Travel

MarketJar

Now that air travel is back to pre-pandemic levels, passengers are experiencing a slew of problems - from flight delays and cancellations to lost baggage and jam-packed airplanes. A freshly inked report from the US Public Interest Research Group titled "Plane Truth," points to several factors contributing to these problems. Airlines have come under scrutiny for their practice of over-scheduling flights, which can lead to overcrowded cabins and disrupted schedules. According to the report, there were approximately 400,000 fewer flights in the first half of the year compared to 2019, resulting in fuller flights this year. As summer travel picked up from May to June, airline performance deteriorated. In fact, complaints have swelled to such an extent that the US Department of Transportation (DOT) has hit the brakes on their usual transparency, keeping recent complaint data under wraps since February. One of the key findings of the report is that airlines often lack accountability when it comes to addressing passenger concerns, from flight cancellations and delays to slow refund processes and inadequate communication with passengers. Furthermore, the USDOT has been criticized for not promptly releasing updated data on customer complaints related to airlines. Fortunately, leading US regional air mobility platform Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE:SRFM) is tackling the issue of overcrowded airports head on, by completely avoiding them altogether. Surf Air Mobility, the largest regional commuter airline in the US by scheduled departures, is expanding regional air travel by connecting underutilized regional airports across the US to create a superior flying experience by using small turboprop aircraft flying between more convenient airports. Interestingly, about 90% of the US population resides or works within 30 minutes of a regional airport. Yet, a mere 30 airports in the nation account for approximately 70% of its air traffic. Revolutionizing Regional Air Travel Through Electrification Apart from creating an expanded network of regional flights across the US and beyond, Surf Air Mobility is leading the charge in revolutionizing regional air travel by harnessing the potential of electrification to significantly reduce the cost and environmental impact of flying. To bring this vision to life, Surf Air is collaborating with commercial partners to develop electrified powertrain technology for retrofitting existing fleets with electric propulsion and introducing electric aircraft on a large scale to the market. The company's leadership team boasts extensive expertise in aviation, electrification, and consumer technology. With its debut on the public market, Surf Air Mobility announced an exclusive partnership with Textron Aviation Inc., a subsidiary of Textron Inc (NYSE: TXT), which includes an order of 100 Cessna Grand Caravan EX aircrafts. Deliveries of the first 20 Cessna aircrafts are set to commence in the first half of 2024. Once the electrification technology is certified, these aircraft will be amongst the first to undergo conversion to incorporate Surf Air Mobility 's proprietary electric or hybrid-electric powertrain technology. Surf Air Mobility aims to make electrified aircraft accessible to new and existing operators with the goal of providing customers with the benefits of cost-effective, low-emission air travel on a large scale. Additionally, the company will serve as the exclusive provider of its proprietary battery electric and hybrid electric powertrain technology for the Cessna Grand Caravan to Textron Aviation. Surf Air Mobility plans to deploy both electric and hybrid-electric Cessna Grand Caravan aircrafts across its network, facilitating direct short-haul flights to connect even more airports. By doing so, the company aims to create a new kind of regional mass transport solution that more sustainably connects communities throughout North America with greener, lower cost air travel. The anticipated advantages of the new electrified architecture include a substantial reduction in direct operating costs, with targets ranging from 25% to 50%, and a significant decrease in direct carbon emissions, with targets ranging from 50% to 100%, all while maintaining performance levels similar to the current models. Importantly, these aircraft have the potential to be used at over 5,000 public-use airports across the United States, with no need for charging stations in the case of hybrid-electric powertrain versions. Surf Air Mobility is also partnering with big data giant Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) to co-develop definitive AI software and operator tools for the growing regional air mobility (RAM) industry.
