Inventors find 'Silver Lining in COVID-19 Cloud' with New Talk-Through Face Mask, Miniature Loudspeaker and Telecommunications Emitter Developed at University of Pittsburgh.

Asheville, NC, Jun 6, 2020 -- Joyce Mann, Chairman and CEO of Lenoir-based RMANNCO, Inc., announced today that RMANNCO, Inc. has caused the formal filing of Letters Patent Application drawn to a new means and method of communication and biocontrol protection while wearing any kind of face covering, such as surgical masks, plastic face shields or cloth face. The title of the invention is "Voice-Activated Talk-Through Safety Mask Appliance and Method", called, 'VATTSMA'™. See: https://doctorjoesoriginal.weebly.com/. The Inventors listed on the patent application are Ms. Joyce M. Mann and Dr. Joseph A. Resnick.

The new product has its foundations in three early patents issued by inventor, Resnick, while a student at the University of Pittsburgh Eye and Ear Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA where he developed 'The Resnick Tone Emitter', known as the 'Talking-Tooth', which issued as US Patent #4,571,739, Intraoral Electrolarynx; US Patent #4,706,292, Speech Prosthesis; and US Patent #5,015,179 Speech Monitor. See: https://tinyurl.com/y742blc7. Dr. Joe Resnick, a former NASA Scholar and Research Scientist, said, "Parts of those prior technologies are used in the new VATTSMA™ product for which letters patent protection is pending approval. Of particular value and use for the new product is the miniature loudspeaker and electronics 'chip' we developed at Pitt in the 1980's, as these are 'fluid-resistant' and won't be affected by moisture from breathing, talking, etc. A value-added feature is that the electronics package is removable allowing its use on new masks once original masks have become soiled or unwanted". Resnick continued, "As an 'Optimist', I like to find good outcomes in everything…even worst-case scenarios such as the COVID-19 Pandemic. I have always been aware of the problems communicating while wearing a surgical-type mask. This was problematic when I was a student at Pitt, nearly 40 years ago…and has remained problematic to this day…even in my own work in my own laboratory. Enter the new VATTSMA™ technology. Now, people wearing masks equipped with the amplification emitter who work in health care, in hospitals, etc., or government officials giving speeches or having to talk in public, will be able to do so without removing the mask and their speech will be more intelligible, more audible at 83 dB, which is just a little louder than speech during normal communication. So, to quote the old sayings, 'Every cloud has a silver lining'. And the VATTSMA™ technology represents a little piece of 'silver lining' that we have realized necessary and which fills a real-world need, despite this horrible Pandemic. 'Fortune favors the Bold'".

Since the declaration of the COVID-19 Pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, most of the world's population has resorted to, or been mandated to, wearing some form of mask or face covering thought to help slow/stop the spread of the Corona Virus, COVID-19. According to the US Department of Commerce more than 2 Billion safety masks have been produced and used since the outbreak of the Corona Virus in January 2020. The US Department of Commerce reports that more than 300 Million N-95 masks have been ordered by various US government agencies since March 2020 with the US Military ordering millions more.

Mann said that the initial price for the individual VATTSMA™ unit will be around $20.00, and that a test-market study is being orchestrated on the 'GoFundMe' Crowdfunding platform at https://tinyurl.com/yau4duub . Mann said, "That price should drop, significantly, as large orders are received and the units can be contracted and sold at retail by the tens-of-thousands". Mann said, "Yes, they may seem a bit pricey, at first. But the retail price will fall, a function of supply and demand economics. As we receive more and more orders and these are passed along to our manufacturers, the electronics component price will fall, drastically. When that happens we will be able to offer the technology/masks for about the same retail price as an N-95 mask today".

Mann said that RMANNCO, Inc., Licensee to the technology, is actively seeking JV partners to assist with global marketing of the VATTSMA™ product line because the potential market size is so large.

Scottsdale, AZ - A new clinic serving Arizona's communities will open in August to help clients walk with greater confidence - by removing embarrassing and troublesome varicose veins.

The Scottsdale Elite Vein Clinic, based out of 3226 N Miller Rd Suite #5D, will be available to patients across the Phoenix Valley, including Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Mesa, Peoria, Scottsdale, Tempe and Tuscon.

The clinic has been created by co-founders Todd VanDuzer and leading vascular physician, Dr Nima Azarbehi, with a single aim to help individuals eliminate pain and embarrassment in their legs.

Using the latest medical technology, the clinic offers non-invasive varicose vein treatment for those with a range of conditions, including leg pain and cramping, ankle swellings, venous ulcers, restless leg syndrome and burning, as well as addressing the aesthetic appearance of legs.

Radio frequency Ablаtіоn (RFA, аlѕо knоwn as VNUS or ClosureFAST, is utilised by the clinic and is a Mеdісаrе-apprоvеd, safe, minimally invasive procedure of removing varicose veins.

Unlike ligation and stripping where cuts are made over the vein, which is then tied off and stripped, RFA uses clean thermal energy inside the vein to gently close it off, leaving you with little to no marks that heal quickly.

The entire procedure, which is covered by most insurance providers, takes between 15-45 minutes and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Mr VanDuzer explained that varicose veins are a common condition affecting 23% of all Americans, with women being twice as likely to get them.

Varicose veins are large, swollen veins with a bumpy texture that often appear purple or blue, and this is due to the valves in the veins not working correctly.

"Poor circulation and build-up of blood in veins closest to the surface of the skin become swollen and begin to bulge out," he added. "Varicose veins are not considered a serious medical condition but they have been known to cause pain, discomfort and even more serious problems in some instances. 

"Varicose veins are also noticeable and may cause people to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed."

He added: "At Elite Vein Clinic, our professionals ensure patients have a safe, pain-free, experience in identifying, treating, and eliminating varicose and spider veins.

"Our service quality, reputation and use of the latest vein treatment medical devices has provided us with the opportunity to serve patients across Arizona."

Phoenix, AZ, May 19, 2020 -- LaTribuna Christian Publishing CEO Chaplain Paul Vescio is quoted saying, “I look forward in being able to visit with the patients online through Skype. This is a true blessing to be able to visit the patients where I serve as a Volunteer Community Chaplain. Because of the corona virus outbreak all Clergy, volunteers and all family members who were visiting the patients are now locked out. Being able to visit online will help in lifting up the patient’s day and will be an absolute blessing for all those who participate in this program.”

LaTribuna Christian Publishing supports volunteerism in reaching out in helping others during this very difficult time in our nation’s history. LaTribuna Christian Publishing recognizes the importance of helping others. Now more than ever people everywhere need a helping hand.

Chaplain Paul was also quoted saying, “Being able to see the patients through apps like Skype is very effective in sharing the word of God with others. A video visit is the closest thing to a real in person visit we can get. Patients need four key elements in achieving good health and in maintaining good mental health. People need good physical care, good loving care, good spiritual care and they need to eat a healthy diet with proper exercise. If one or two of these important elements are missing from a patient’s healthcare, then the patient suffers greatly. The Bible teaches us to treat others as we ourselves would want to be treated and to love thy neighbor as thy self. I can think of no better way of putting this important teaching into practice than to reach out to those around us and lend a helping hand.”

The Health and Science Journal. Family has a significant role in hospital treatment of patients since it can provide effective psychological and emotional support to patients undergoing treatment in a hospital. Additionally, the above role of family is not only significant for adults but also for children and pregnant women, who need their husbands during their childbirth. Consequently, the medical and nursing staff needs to maintain a continuous contact with parents and relatives of patients and provide them with the appropriate information concerning the condition of their patient and the progress of the therapeutic program. This can make them capable of providing effective psychological support to their patient.

LaTribuna Christian Publishing is also very pleased to announce the publication of Chaplain Paul’s newest book on Amazon titled, Victory Over Suffering Through Christ Our Lord. The book includes the testimonies of very powerful men and women of God who suffer dearly and who have achieved great victory over suffering through their faith and trust in Christ our Lord.

Chaplain Paul was also quoted saying, “It is very sad that family and Clergy are being denied access to see the patients in most hospital settings. Family provide the loving care we all need, and Chaplains and men and women of faith provide the spiritual care, both are needed in helping to maintain good mental health. Our elected officials need to hear our concerns about these very important healthcare issues. And I pray that families who have been affected by this virus will be comforted and healed and that the corona virus will come to a speedy end, in Christ Yeshua’s Name I pray Amen”
