Toronto, ON (PRWEB) July 31, 2008

Fusepoint Managed Services, a leading provider of outsourced IT infrastructure services, today announced it has been selected by the Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) to host and maintain its mission-critical infrastructure – the organization’s primary vehicle used to drive education, research and funding efforts.

Founded in 1969, the CLF is a national, charitable organization dedicated to promoting liver health and reducing the impact and incidence of liver disease through programs, research and education. Recently, the CLF recognized it needed to improve its infrastructure capacity to meet demand in the market and keep pace with the expectations of its end users. In an effort to not only keep pace with technology related to operations and fundraising, but also to take additional steps to guarantee the security and safety of donor information, the decision was made to undertake a major technical overhaul.

“With no in-house IT staff, it was a true challenge to keep up with our hardware and software needs,” recalls Sandra Taylor, Vice-President, Health Promotion, Canadian Liver Foundation. “Ensuring the highest levels of stability and reliability go hand in hand when scaling for the future and thinking about new and innovative ways to improve public awareness and raise funds for research. Moving to Fusepoint allows us to focus on internal processes and programs, while giving donors and supporters peace of mind that the confidential information provided to us is secure – with zero downtime.”

Fusepoint provides the CLF with enhanced managed services including colocation, bandwidth, tape back-up, monitoring, and firewall protection – guaranteeing the security, availability and performance of its servers and related infrastructure at all times.

“With limited technical skill-sets and available resources, Canadian non-profit organizations face the same security and technology challenges as large businesses with deeper coffers,” says George Kerns, President and CEO, Fusepoint Managed Services. “Staying ahead of the threat curve and maintaining high availability of mission-critical applications is by no means easy in today’s day and age. Leveraging the muscle and bench strength of a managed service provider like Fusepoint makes both business and economic sense.”

Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) September 26, 2011

Should infertile obese women be denied in vitro fertilization? The debate on whether Female BMI Should Determine Access to Fertility Treatment, moderated by Dr. Al Yuzpe at the annual Canadian Fertility and Andrology meeting in Toronto, has sparked controversy among ethicists and fertility specialists.

“Women who are obese have a higher risk for miscarriage, lower conception rate, gestational diabetes and a whole lot of complications. If they require a C-section, it’s more difficult on an obese patient,” explains Yuzpe, co-director of Genesis Fertility Centre in Vancouver.

But the ethical issues around denying women access to IVF based on weight are sparking controversy. Experts disagree on exactly what BMI number should be the cut-off point or whether the BMI alone is an appropriate marker for treating the obese patient. Some dispute whether it is simply discrimination to single out overweight patients for exclusion, while treating women who engage in other health risks like smoking.

Dr. Yuzpe moderated the debate between Dr. Anthony Chueng, a fertility expert at the University of British Columbia, and obesity specialist Dr. Arya Sharma, of the University of Alberta, on Saturday.

British Columbia already has regulations around this issue: doctors are not allowed to perform egg retrievals in women with a BMI over 38 in a non-hospital clinic, which includes all but one (4 of the 5) IVF clinics in BC.

“Women are often devastated when they are told that they can?t have IVF because they are too heavy. We try and direct our patients to resources and support that can help them lose weight,” says Yuzpe.

Often just losing 5% of body weight can significantly improve the chances of overweight women conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy. In some cases, women will conceive on their own after such weight loss.

“Our goal is not simply to try to help women conceive, but to have a healthy baby. We would never deny obese women the chance of conceiving. We simply want to optimize their chances,” says Yuzpe.

Since opening its doors in 1995, Genesis has grown to be one of the largest IVF clinics in Canada, offering a comprehensive range of assisted reproductive technologies, including IUI, IVF, ICSI, PGD, surgical sperm retrieval, cryopreservation, oocyte and sperm donation.

As the world`s attention focused on the events in Tahrir Square, a few miles away in Cairo, a Toronto couple was helping a group of Egyptian doctors to revolutionize the treatment of ADHD. Dr. Lynda Thompson said, ?We were amazed at the level of interest we found at the Egyptian Canadian Cognitive Abilities Development Centre. Chairperson Hala S. Abdelkhalek, and other board members of Wayana International Foundation for Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities & Awareness had interviewed more than 200 medical doctor applicants who wanted the privilege of taking this training and working at the new centre. The result was a group of men and women doctors who were both keen and brilliant.?

The Egyptian doctors were fascinated to learn how the Thompsons assess and treat children and adults at The ADD Centre in Toronto, and lecture around the world on the latest clinical practice and research. In a study done at the Universite de Montreal in 2006, fMRIs were performed as children with ADHD completed selective attention tasks. A treatment group had received neurofeedback training while the control group had not. Drs. Johanne L
