�Less than a year into the process, RamSoft, a starring developer of affordable healthcare information technology, has successfully helped PresGar, the nation's largest privately-owned medical imaging service company, establish a significant digital mammography comportment at eight-spot of its imaging centers.
The solution has been increased efficiency among PresGar mammographers and technologists and substantial nest egg for the company. If things go as planned, a one-ninth center may soon join the flux, combining RamSoft's PowerServer PACS and Gateway Routers with PresGar's new digital mammography system.
"It's a home run," Dave Kost, Imaging Informatics Manager for PresGar, said of the integration. "We couldn't be happier."
PresGar, of Tampa, FL, operates 36 imaging centers that complete an estimated 350,000 exams yearly. To facilitate optimal viewing, 10 PowerServer PACS, some serving more than one imaging center, along with three Gateway Routers receive been installed by RamSoft, of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The digital effort began in October 2007 when the first new mammography system was integrated with the RamSoft technology. Seven other systems were added through mid-2008, and a ninth system will be implemented afterward this year. The young digital mammography systems, in New York, Virginia, Ohio and Florida, are replacing film-screen mammography units at each center.
"PresGar was really our first big account in terms of establishing our solution as ideal for a distributed outpatient imaging center grouping," said Vijay Ramanathan, President and CEO of RamSoft. "The relationship has allowed us to prove that our solution is superior to anything else in that genial of environment."
In making the move to digital, PresGar had one predominate goal: to enable the capture of superior images that john be manipulated for optimum viewing victimisation the RamSoft mammography module. The PACS facilitates both on-site viewing and transmittance to remote locations for off-site limited review.
Offered in several configurations, the PowerServer provides a reliable, fault-tolerant, web-based approach to PACS, accommodating inexhaustible users and workstations. Features range from study trailing from start to finish and unmated real-time worklist flexibility, to prefetching of current and prior studies and elastic viewing protocols specific to modality and body office. A suite of clinical tools intentional to optimize images and a digital dictation module also are provided.
An important constituent is RamSoft's mammography module, which automatically sorts left wing and right digital image series and matches them to prior films for easy comparing.
"What we've done is make digital mammography function similarly to all of the other modalities offered by PresGar," Ramanathan aforementioned. "That has eliminated the need for them to make a separate, pricy investment in mammography. No longer does a company such as PresGar want to have one solution for all of the modalities and a separate solution for mammography."
In less than a year the RamSoft collaboration already has benefited PresGar. The company saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by opting not to purchase dedicated workstations; film has been eliminated, also delivery PresGar a substantial amount of money; technologists and mammographers ar more efficient, enabling more studies to be realized and revenues to increase; the tone of images captured has been enhanced, increasing reader confidence and minimizing liability; and images can be quickly and easily transmitted to remote locations. Clearly, RamSoft is playing an important theatrical role in PresGar's transition to digital mammography and boilers suit growth.
Numbers underscore that. Between 40 and 50 studies are completed day-after-day at each site compared with 18 to 20 per day a year ago. PresGar's overall efficiency has increased by 30%-40%.
"Digital mammography combined with RamSoft PACS has saved us tens of thousands of dollars beyond the workstation savings, and that's a big deal," Kost aforesaid. "Imaging centers face a very tough climate these days, and we have to do what we can to be efficient and profitable. RamSoft PACS and its Gateway Routers have at rest a long way toward helping us achieve that."

Ardea Biosciences Presents Phase 2a Antiviral Activity Data For Lead HIV Candidate, RDEA806 At XVII International AIDS Conference
�Ardea
Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: RDEA) announced that information was presented
from its completed Phase 2a proof-of-concept monotherapy study of RDEA806,
the Company's novel investigational non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitor (NNRTI) for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
demonstrating robust antiviral activity with a well-tolerated visibility. An
oral presentation of the data was granted today by Dr. Graeme Moyle, Director
of HIV Research, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, during a late breaker
session at the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico City.
"We are extremely pleased that the last results of the Phase 2a sketch
presented today demonstrate that 800 mg once day-after-day produced like viral
burden reductions as 400 mg twice daily, providing last confirmation that
RDEA806 workings equally well given either once or twice everyday. Based on the
data to date, we continue to consider that RDEA806 has the potential to be a
first-line therapy for the treatment of HIV," aforementioned Barry D. Quart, PharmD,
Ardea's President and CEO. "We look forward to further evaluating RDEA806
and are on track to begin a Phase 2b study comparing once day-to-day doses of
RDEA806 to efavirenz (SUSTIVA(R), Stocrin(R)) in first-line patients
receiving ground treatment with Truvada(R) (emtricitabine and tenofovir
disoproxil fumarate), in the third quarter of this year. A recently
completed drug interaction study with RDEA806 and Truvada confirmed the
want of drug-drug interactions between these agents, paving the way for
initiation of the Phase 2b written report."
The Phase 2a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
evaluated the antiviral agent activity, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability
of once- and twice-daily oral dosing regimens of RDEA806 versus placebo in
48 HIV-positive patients who were naive to antiretroviral treatment. Nine
out of 12 patients in each of four cohorts received RDEA806. The primary
efficacy end point was the change from baseline in plasma viral payload.
Results from all tetrad cohorts showed a medial reduction in plasma viral
load at nadir of 1.8 - 2.0 log copies/mL. There were no serious adverse
events, premature discontinuations, clinically relevant ECGs changes or
drug-related rash reported in any age bracket. The incidence of CNS side effects
was like between do drugs and placebo. Gastrointestinal position effects were
most uncouth, but these effects were generally transient and mild.
The presentation is uncommitted on the conference site
(http://www.aids2008.org) and on the Company website
(hypertext transfer protocol://www.ardeabio.com) under the title "Antiviral action of RDEA806, a
novel HIV non-nucleoside reverse rNA polymerase inhibitor, in treatment of
naive HIV patients."
About RDEA806
RDEA806 is a novel non-nucleoside blow transcriptase inhibitor
(NNRTI) for the voltage treatment of HIV infection. Based on preclinical
and clinical studies to-date, we believe that RDEA806 may have important
competitive advantages compared to currently available NNRTIs. These
include the potential for potent antiviral agent activity against a wide range of
HIV viral isolates, including those that are repellent to efavirenz
(Sustiva(R)) and other presently available NNRTIs; a high genetic barrier
to resistance; no reproductive toxicity based on beast studies; the
potential to be administered in a patient-friendly, unwritten dosing regimen;
limited pharmacokinetic interactions with other drugs; and the ability to
be co-formulated with other HIV antiviral agent drugs.
About Ardea Biosciences, Inc.

One of the number one Memphis rappers to make the major-label jump, Gangsta Pat never attained the hail or success of swain Memphis pioneers Three 6 Mafia and Eightball & MJG, heretofore he still remains notable for his trailblazing. Pat's career began promisingly when Atlantic gestural him at the dawn of the gangsta rap earned run average and released #1 Suspect (1991) as well as two incidental singles, "I'm tha Gangsta" and "Gangsta's Need Love 2." Like most of Atlantic's other rap releases from the time, Pat's debut made small impact, cursorily going out of print and going the rapper without a transcription contract before long after. Pat returned to the metro the adjacent twelvemonth with Wrap Records, a transitory indie label distributed by Ichiban. Wrap released deuce Pat albums, All About Comin' Up (1992) and Sex, Money & Murder (1994), as well as two several singles, "Gangsta Boogie" and "That Type of Gangsta." Once once again, Pat base small achiever beyond the Atlanta-Memphis axis and hence packed his bags, moving to Power Records for Virulent Verses (1995) and Murderous Lifestyle (1997). These 2 albums showcased a more introspective and mature dash, as Pat sped up his flow à la Bone and darkened his themes à la Three 6 Mafia. Regardless, disdain the cult following he began to earn with these two highly regarded albums, he couldn't render the financial support into national gross revenue, and he touched on to til now some other label, Red Rum. He remained thither for quite a while, cathartic a string of albums commencement with The Story of My Life (1997) that tended to emulate the trends of their various eras. Perhaps as a plea for much-needed promotional material, Pat targeted Three 6 Mafia on his 1999 record album, Tear Yo Club Down, with a pointed dis track.

T.I. Previews His Forthcoming LP, Paper Trail, For MTV News
The lyrics made it sound like T.I.'s pen was actually a match.
The King of the South was igniting each track with a viciousness that could well have fans and critics calling his forthcoming Paper Trail LP (due August 12) his best since Urban Legend.
Clearly, Tip's half-year-plus under house arrest wasn't just spent building a huge replica of the Eiffel Tower out of Legos ("It took me two straight days," he said of his work). The MC — who recently said he's not angry that he only came in at #10 on MTV News' "Hottest MCs in the Game" — found escapism in his music and, as he played a handful of tracks from his forthcoming album, at times he sounded better than we've ever heard him.
There are boasts such as "Without the braids, I'm the closest thing to O-Dog" and admonishment of peers like, "What the game need with you? They got me."
Yes, Tip is "back on top like a toupee."
"Turn My Beat Down" feels like a 2008 version of LL Cool J's "Boomin' System." The bass is turned all the way up and the synths inject a futuristic feel to it. Meanwhile, Tip experiments with his voice, but his message is clear: His sounds shake up the city.
"People see me in the street now/ And they wave and tell me to turn my beat down," he raps on the chorus.
"You're a-- in trouble if you pull up next to me/ Beat so loud, you can't hear yourself think," he adds in a verse.
"On Top of the World" is one of the strongest contenders for the album's first single. It stars the newest member of the Grand Hustle fam, B.O.B., on the hook and Kanye West on a guest verse.
"It's just a track of reflection," Tip said of the song. "Looking back to my humble beginnings, just reveling on how far I've come. It's definitely a record that people like Kanye and I ... and even B.O.B. [can relate to]: when you're on the outside looking in and you know you're good. You know you're worthy of being in the game. You know you can compete on a professional level. And once you prove that, it's a level of self-assurance. I can't even describe that."
Tip dances with self-doubt on "My Life, Your Entertainment."
"Kids, you don't wanna be like me/ It's safer to watch me on TV," he says in one line. Later, he threatens to return to a darker space.
"Stayed in trouble just to show these suckers I ain't lost it/ I'll probably do it again/ That's the funny thing about it."
However, he said "not at all" when asked if he'd do some of the things that caused him to face serious trouble before. "It's back there [in my mind]. It's a piece of my mind that I have to be honest with you and share with you. It's a thought. If that thought is not there, I'd never be able to check myself. I'd never be able to say, 'Be careful: You know what could happen.' If I totally discredited the idea, I could never check myself."
"My life, your entertainment," he chants on the hook. "My sorrow, your amusement/ Laugh at my pain and anguish/ So famous I could lose it."
"For a long time, people came home and got they TVs on, looked at the news, just to see how my situation developed and entertain themselves," he explained of the record. "In the meantime, it's my life. People on the computer saying, 'T.I. this, T.I. that. They just said T.I. couldn't do that.' They comment. They don't know nothing about T.I."
The message of "Collect Call" is clear: "Everybody loves you when you ballin'/ Don't nobody want you when you fallin'."
"That song is about when you're on top, everybody wants to ball with you, but when you're not, you probably wouldn't know who to call" explained Tip, who raps on the song, "Everybody talking about me like a n---a just died."
"I'm Illie" is an A-Town anthem that resonates with T.I.'s boasts about being the man in charge.
"Never been f---ed in the game, I'm celibate," he declares. The song's chorus goes, "N---as talk sh--, that's silly/ I run this city, clearly ... Tell that little n---a I'm busy: I'm illaaayy!"
"That's just cats saying they want that old Trap Muzik flow back," he said. "That nonstop, consistent punch-line-and-metaphor wordplay. I gave them that."
T.I. hasn't picked out a first single for the LP yet: He's still recording.

Jolie daughter's strange pig impersonation
Angelina Jolie’s adopted daughter is pretending to be pregnant with a pig.
The Oscar-winning beauty - who is expecting twins with partner Brad Pitt - says three-year-old Zahara is trying to be like her mummy, and keeps saying the "piggy" inside her is making her crave chocolate brownies.
Angelina - who also has two adopted sons, Maddox, six, and Pax, four, as well as 23-month-old biological daughter Shiloh with Brad - told British breakfast TV show GMTV: “The kids are excited and they are starting to understand about me pregnant. We’ve had it before with Shiloh so they know what’s going on.
“Zahara pretends she’s pregnant too and says she has an animal in her tummy. She says the piggy is making her eat all the chocolate brownies! And Pax says he’s got a baby monkey inside him! So it’s really fun in our house at the moment.”
Angelina also confirmed she is considering delivering her babies in France, because the entire family can speak the language.
She added: "I actually haven't completely decided. We are certainly thinking of France.
"French is a second language in the house, although I'm still learning. My children are starting to speak French, so being in the country is very good for them and their language skills.”
