Sammy Sosa Announces Injex21 North American & Latin American Rights

Needle-free injection company a breakthrough for diabetics, children and others getting shots.

2013-01-16

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, January 16, 2013 (Press-News.org) Retired former Chicago Cubs sports legend and entrepreneur Sammy Sosa has purchased the distribution rights for North America and Latin America, excluding Brazil, for the needle-free injection system known as Injex21.

Mr. Sosa was introduced to the Injex21 system in mid-2012, when he immediately saw the potential to help millions of people around the world who are forced to take painful injections, who are afraid of injections or who subject themselves to daily self-injections. Medical workers, as well, can reduce the risk of puncture wounds.

The Injex21 needle-free injection system was immediately interesting to Mr. Sosa. As a young boy in the Dominican Republic, Sammy Sosa held many odd jobs to help provide for his family after the death of his father. "I shined shoes. I sold oranges and I took out the trash at a local hospital. I remember throwing the big garbage bag over my shoulder and getting stuck in the back by needles," said Sosa.

These memories of the unsafe needles, plus his thoughts about his newborn daughter Kelexy, who would soon need immunizations, also served as motivators. Sammy Sosa believes he has an opportunity to revolutionize the medical industry, improving many lives due to needle-free Injex21 injectors.

"I can see many uses for dentists, pediatricians, diabetics - people all over the world," added Mr. Sosa.

Sammy Sosa spends his time these days working diligently on his two companies: Riverhead Homes, www.riverhead-homes.com, a provider of disaster-proof buildings and housing communities for countries in need, and Injex 21, www.injex21.com, the needle-free, pain-free medicine delivery system.

Landsat senses a disturbance in the forest

2013-01-15

A new way of studying and visualizing Earth science data from a NASA and U.S. Geological Survey satellite program is resulting in, for the first time, the ability to tease out the small events that can cause big changes in an ecosystem. Called LandTrendr, this computer program is able to find patterns previously buried within vast amounts of scientific data. Still in development, it's already led to seeing for the first time in satellite imagery an obscured, slow-moving decline and recovery of trees in Pacific Northwest forests. Comparing satellite data to ground data, ...

NASA sees Tropical Storm Narelle winding down near western Australia

2013-01-15

Tropical Storm Narelle is growing weaker as it continues to track in a southerly direction parallel to the coast of Western Australia. NASA's Aqua and TRMM satellites captured visible data and rainfall rates on Narelle and noticed the storm was less intense than it was, however, warnings are still up as Narelle continues moving down the coast.

Simple intervention helps doctors communicate better when prescribing medications

2013-01-15

When it comes to prescribing medications to their patients, physicians could use a dose of extra training, according to a new study led by a UCLA researcher. In previous studies, Dr. Derjung Tarn and her colleagues found that when doctors prescribed medicines, the information they provided to patients was spotty at best, they rarely addressed the cost of medications and they didn't adequately monitor their patients' medication adherence. The logical next step, Tarn said, was to devise an intervention aimed at improving how physicians communicate to their patients ...

Childhood trauma leaves its mark on the brain

2013-01-15

It is well known that violent adults often have a history of childhood psychological trauma. Some of these individuals exhibit very real, physical alterations in a part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex. Yet a direct link between such early trauma and neurological changes has been difficult to find, until now. Publishing in the January 15 edition of Translational Psychiatry, EPFL Professor Carmen Sandi and team demonstrate for the first time a correlation between psychological trauma in pre-adolescent rats and neurological changes similar to those found in ...

Kaiser Permanente study: Change in PSA levels over time can help predict aggressive prostate cancer

2013-01-15

PASADENA, Calif., January 15, 2013 – Measurements taken over time of prostate specific antigen, the most commonly used screening test for prostate cancer in men, improve the accuracy of aggressive prostate cancer detection when compared to a single measurement of PSA, according to a Kaiser Permanente study published today in the British Journal of Urology International.

Study documents that some children lose autism diagnosis

2013-01-15

Some children who are accurately diagnosed in early childhood with autism lose the symptoms and the diagnosis as they grow older, a study supported by the National Institutes of Health has confirmed. The research team made the finding by carefully documenting a prior diagnosis of autism in a small group of school-age children and young adults with no current symptoms of the disorder. The report is the first of a series that will probe more deeply into the nature of the change in these children's status. Having been diagnosed at one time with an autism spectrum disorder ...

Borderline personality disorder: The "perfect storm" of emotion dysregulation

2013-01-15

Philadelphia, PA, January 15, 2013 – Originally, the label "borderline personality disorder" was applied to patients who were thought to represent a middle ground between patients with neurotic and psychotic disorders. Increasingly, though, this area of research has focused on the heightened emotional reactivity observed in patients carrying this diagnosis, as well as the high rates with which they also meet diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder and mood disorders. New research now published in Biological Psychiatry from Dr. Anthony Ruocco at the University ...
