                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hicksville and Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) July 25, 2008 -- Learn all about macular degeneration, including how to monitor your vision, preventative measures, and current treatments at a free seminar at the Farmingdale Public Library on August 15 at 1:00 p.m.  The presentation will feature James M. Maisel M.D. and Joanna J. Oda, M.D., vitreoretinal specialists from the Retina Group of New York.  As people live longer, they are subject to increasing incidence of age-related macular degeneration. Seniors may be unaware that they are at risk for vision loss and that treatments may be available for them. The doctors will discuss the symptoms, causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of age-related macular degeneration and answer questions. Preference will be given to UFSD #22 residents.  Farmingdale Library patrons may pre-register without charge for this program over the phone at (516) 249-9090 using their library card.



Macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe visual loss in patients over 65 and occurs almost exclusively in seniors.  The macula is the center portion of the retina and is used for straight-ahead vision. It is the only part of the retina capable of providing the fine vision necessary for reading and detailed work. There is a dry and wet form of the disease. The more common dry form causes pigmentation of the macula, similar to aging spots on the skin, is slowly progressive and accounts for only about 15% of severe central visual loss. It can be slowed with certain vitamins and diet. The wet, or exudative form of macular degeneration is less common but accounts for about 85% of visual loss and is the leading cause of blindness in seniors. This form results when abnormal blood vessels growing under the retina start to leak. Early treatment is critical since without treatment these leaking blood vessels almost always cause scarring with irreversible visual loss. Since July, 2006, Lucentis, an FDA approved medication, has dramatically improved treatment for the wet form, and has stabilized vision in over 90% of patients and improved vision in about one third.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) September 6, 2007 -- ZyDoc Medical Transcription announced today it has formed a business alliance with Topcon Anka Systems.  ZyDoc will offer transcription services that are tightly integrated with Topcon Anka Systems imaging system, EyeRoute. Both systems are ASP based and will work from any Internet-connected computer. With no change in work habits, doctors can dictate from any telephone to the TelDoc system or utilize handheld  professional digital recorders. The dictation and records are tracked on the ZyDoc TrackDoc Internet site, similar to UPS packages, then transcribed and returned within the required turnaround time. The highly accurate transcribed reports are available on the web.  After review, they are automatically linked to the EyeRoute system as part of the patient record. The comprehensive records and imaging studies will be available on the Internet for referring physicians. 



&quot;This alliance offers doctors substantial advantages over current solutions,&quot; according to James Maisel, M.D., Chairman of ZyDoc and Founder of the Retina Group of New York. &quot;This solution streamlines the adoption of electronic records, is rapidly implemented, incurs no change in work habits, and requires minimal training. Ophthalmologists will be able to increase efficiency of generation and management of patient records including improved communication with referring physicians. The Internet based records are especially valued by multisite practices.&quot; 

Dr. Maisel continues, &quot;Physicians no longer have to search through charts for reports and images or read scribbled notes of associates if they can find the chart. Dictation remains the preferred method of data capture for physicians and is utilized by virtually all high-volume physicians. Many EMR companies have added dictation to their products to increase user acceptance. EyeRoute and ZyDoc have collaborated through the HL7 data standards to allow seamless integration of the transcription service and diagnostic imaging and testing results.&quot; 

Ken Lee, Executive Vice President of Topcon Anka Systems and the Co-founder of Anka Systems , noted, &quot;We are very excited about the strategic relationship with ZyDoc Medical Transcription. Working together, we can be more effective in integrating our imaging and connectivity solutions with seamless documentation and provide tremendous benefits to the doctors. These benefits will incorporate innovative technologies and lower operational costs leading to improved value for the physician. Together, we focus on the advancing needs for eye care practitioners to capture, store and retrieve digital imaging information that is increasingly being managed within the eye care practice and complement it with documentation for a complete electronic medical record. We will provide ophthalmologists with full featured networked imaging and reporting capabilities.&quot;
