18 Diabetic Patients Implanted With VeriMed RFID Microchip At Atlanta Diabetes EXPO

Article Date: 13 Mar 2007 - 0:00 PDT
VeriChip Corporation (Nasdaq: CHIP), a provider of RFID systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, announced today it added 18 diabetic patients to its VeriMed Patient Identification System at an Atlanta Diabetes EXPO sponsored by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

At the Diabetes EXPO, physicians implanted VeriMed RFID microchips in conference attendees who signed up for the voluntary procedure. The VeriMed Patient Identification System, which utilizes an implantable RFID microchip in combination with a handheld RFID scanner and a secure patient database, provides immediate access to important health information for patients who arrive at an emergency department unable to communicate.

Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO of VeriChip, commented, "We believe the VeriMed Patient Identification System is an essential health care solution for at-risk patients, including diabetics, who tend to present with various co-morbidities and medications, and are more frequently admitted to emergency departments. Since the inception of the VeriMed System, we always knew that the diabetic community was in need of a way to communicate their medical information better and more frequently. We will continue to focus on diabetics and to enhance our relationship further with the American Diabetes Association. The Atlanta Diabetes EXPO provides us direct access so we can continue to educate an important target audience."

The Diabetes EXPO is a patient-driven tradeshow, including professional speakers and a variety of ADA program/event information, where exhibitors from pharmaceutical and medical device companies display beneficial products for diabetics. The Diabetes EXPO began in 1995 in Phoenix, Arizona, and has grown to 18, metro, major and mid-size cities around the U.S. The next event will be held in Boston on March 17, 2007.

Infertile couples often use alternative medicine

Last Updated: 2007-03-12 8:26:13 -0400 (Reuters Health)

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Alternative medicines and therapies such as herbs, chiropractic care, and acupuncture, are widely used by couples seeking treatment for infertility, often in conjunction with prescription medicine, a study shows -- and the fertility specialist is often unaware of it.

It's possible that these therapies may interact with each other and impact the odds of a woman becoming pregnant, experts say, as the safety and efficacy of complementary medicines used to treat infertility or in conjunction with established treatments is unclear.

Dr. Marcin Stankiewicz, a fertility specialist at Flinders Medical Centre, Bedford Park, South Australia, said it's important to "tell your doctor/fertility specialist" about complementary medicine use. "Ask about ingredients and interactions with other drugs as well as safety."

In a survey of 97 new patients being seen at an infertility clinic, reported in the Australia & New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Stankiewicz and colleagues discovered that two-thirds reported using complementary medicine.

Nearly half of them said they had consulted with a complementary therapy provider, such as a chiropractor, acupuncturist, or naturopath.

Over three-quarters of the patients reported taking over-the-counter multivitamins, and about a quarter to one-third used herbal remedies including chamomile, echinacea, peppermint, and chaste tree berry.

It's been shown that the hormonal effects of chaste tree berry may promote the development of a serious condition called "ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome" in women having in vitro fertilization, Stankiewicz pointed out.

Use of complementary medicines and therapies declined 6 months after the initial visit to the infertility clinic, a follow up survey showed.

Only 29 percent of those surveyed at the infertility clinic said they talked to their doctor about their use of complementary medicine. In addition, a review of 200 patient records at the same clinic showed that use of complementary medicine was "poorly documented by clinical staff."

Better documentation, Stankiewicz said in a statement, "may contribute to identifying any positive or negative effects it (alternative medicine) has on fertility outcomes."
