Hi-Precision Diagnostics Launches Medical Diagnostics App
After pioneering online laboratory results in the Philippines, Hi-Precision Diagnostics (HPD) is offering another healthcare innovation – the country’s medical diagnostics mobile application.
Developed to make health management more convenient and accessible, the Hi-Precision Diagnostics mobile app features a sophisticated software program that provides a cumulative report or the summary of an individual’s previous medical test results. Apart from providing figures, the report also contains green and red arrows, for clearer indication of high and low results.
“Today’s widespread adoption and use of smartphones and mobile devices have opened new ways to improve healthcare management. With the use of mobile apps such as HPD’s medical diagnostics app, one can gain access to useful information whenever and wherever it is needed,” Kendrick So, HPD’s I.T. manager, said. “This is especially helpful for individuals who need to keep track of important health indicators such as sugar or cholesterol levels. With the app, one does not have to worry about going to the lab, to get results or find your previous records.”
The results can be downloaded online in the form of a Portable Document File (PDF). As the first medical laboratory in the Philippines that allows patients to access and download their results online, HPD is also the only laboratory that stores a patient’s history permanently while maintaining security and confidentiality. Other institutions, while offering online results, only keep records for a certain period of time.
"We believe that this new app signals a major step for patients to be more mindful about their health and wellness. We expect this to revolutionize the way individuals look at their lifestyle and how it affects one’s health. By being more aware of their medical diagnostics, it will help them make informed choices when they go to laboratories, as well as improve their relationship with their doctors,” So said.
The HPD mobile app teaches you how to prepare for the tests and features a dictionary so you can easily understand medical terms. Through the app, you can also locate HPD branches nationwide and view its doctors’ directory at your convenience. What’s more, the mobile app allows you to keep up to date with HPD news and events.
With the launch of the medical diagnostics app, HPD continues to change the game in diagnostics. With 18 years of quality healthcare, HPD is ISO 9001:2008 certified and PAO 15189:2010 accredited, ensuring that their systems and processes meet the international standards. To provide the highest quality laboratory services and reliable test results, HPD has invested on being a complete and fully automated medical diagnostic facility, providing precise and top quality healthcare for customers at reasonable prices.
The facility also offers tests that are not readily available in the Philippines, esoteric or difficult to perform and other comprehensive services. Having the largest network of medical diagnostic facilities in the Philippines, HPD has over 20 branches located in Mega Manila, Metro Cebu, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan and Pampanga and employs over 1,000 medical professionals and staff. To ensure its clients’ convenience and comfort, the company also offers Home Service and Mobile On-site Services not just to individuals but also to hospitals, clinics, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), schools, government agencies, insurance companies, and corporations from various industries.
The Hi-Precision Diagnostics Mobile App is available for both iOS and Android operating systems, and can be downloaded for free at the Apple Store and at Google Play. Just search for the keywords “Hi-Precision Diagnostics.” For more information, contact Hi-Precision Diagnostics at 741-7777 or visit www.hi-precision.com.ph.

Might be Separated Already
Image courtesy of www.imagesbuddy.com
Controversial issues have hounded glamorous couple since they publicly admitted their relationship. First, at the onset of their relationship, comments that they were not a match hounded them. However, the couple continued their relationship until years passed. Second, the usual rumors of getting married and having children often targeted them. Nonetheless, the couple kept quiet and moved on. The passing time did not validate such rumors.
However, the most recent rumor is that this celebrity couple is having problems. Observers noted that the Actor (TA) is no longer as visible with Pretty Girl (PG). For instance, some have noticed the absence of TA in the recent postings of PG. Moreover, PG has been seen hanging around and having a few drinks with Equally Gorgeous Hunk (GH) in a bar near the network. PG and GH have been seen for at least five times. Linking PG and GH might not be farfetched as they have worked together, but GH has been linked to several actresses in their network. In addition, PG has also been seen going to bars with her gay friends, again, without TA.
As speculations are getting louder, one reason that has cropped up regarding their alleged breakup is the lack of plans of TA to raise his own family. TA has never established a reputation for looking forward, unlike his contemporaries who often talk about their future and plans with their partners. While considered at the right marrying age, TA is just about enjoying the rise in his career, which is why he could not be blamed if he really does not feel like settling down. Meanwhile, the biological clock is ticking for PG. Will a confirmation or a denial of their breakup emerge soon?

Letter from a Reader: Alleged Dangerous Foreign Matter Found Inside Meat Bought from S&R
Image courtesy of Fashion PULIS reader
Hi Fashion Pulis! I need your help. I want to share my experience with S&R Membership Shopping with your readers so that they, too, will be forewarned.
I have been trying to get in touch with S&R to relay my concern but can't get hold of anyone from there. I hope that through your blog, this will reach them. Here's my story:
I wasn’t feeling well and was having my recovery soup that time. Suddenly, I felt like there was a meat bone or something sharp in my mouth, I spat it out. To my surprise, it looked like some remnant from a sharp blade or meat cutter.
I asked our cook if she sliced the meat, she said she did not and added that it was the meat that I bought from S&R (which was already sliced) that she washed and put in the soup. We know our cook so well, she is neat and very good at food preparation. The sharp blade was right inside of the meat.
I really thank God it was me and not my kids who consumed the meat where the broken blade was. I just can’t imagine if it were them.
I hope next time, people at S&R food section would be very vigilant and careful in its food preparation because lives are at stake. If your meat cutter or blade is broken, please discard all the meats that were trimmed or cut from that troubled machine.
It is S&R’s responsibility to make sure that the safety of its customers should always be top concern and priority. What is a little loss of profit from discarded meat? What could have happened if those blades got stuck in someone's throat? The thought alone is scary.
Thank you, Fashion Pulis for publishing my letter. Hoping that something will come out of this.
Sincerely,
Jane
Note: Fashion PULIS is open to S&R's statement. Letter edited for brevity

Mayweather Offers Rematch; It’s Magical to Pacquiao

Source: www.sports.inquirer.net
The message sounded like magic to Manny Pacquiao’s ears: Floyd Mayweather Jr. is willing to give him a second chance in the ring.
Still reeling from the loss he suffered to Mayweather and the injury he sustained on Saturday night, Pacquiao’s eyes sparkled when informed of the flamboyant American’s announcement.
“I will fight him in a year after his surgery,” Mayweather texted ESPN’s Stephen Smith.
“Rematch? Yes, we’re ready to fight,” Pacquiao told sportswriters and photographers in Filipino at the garage of his home on North Plymouth Boulevard. “For now, however, my injury has to heal first.
Surgery on Sunday
Pacquiao, who’s scheduled for surgery at a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday, said his right shoulder rotator cuff muscle got a “significant tear” and it needed to be sewn up to heal.
“It will take from four to six months to return to normal,” added Pacquiao.
After the procedure, Pacquiao will have to take five to six weeks rest without strenuous activities.
As to his rehabilitation program, Pacquiao revealed that a doctor will go to the Philippines monthly to check on his progress.
Pacquiao said the injury was actually an old one. He sustained it in 2009 when a big wave struck the jetski he was driving, sending him flying into the air for a bad fall.
It recurred when Pacquiao’s arm and that of his sparring partner got entangled after an exchange of punches.
The incident was confirmed by Dashon Johnson, one of his former sparring partners, in a Facebook post.
Two days later, Pacquiao was examined and the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) detected the tear. Pacquiao did not spar for a week and used his injured shoulder sparingly to allow it to recover.
Eventually, Pacquiao felt confident to use it in sparring and mitts sessions. Just to make sure, however, they sought the permission of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) to inject Toradol, an anti-inflammatory drug, three hours prior to the 12-round bout. It was turned down.
Despite the rejection, Pacquiao went on the offensive, pouring it all in the fourth round until his right caught Mayweather near the neck. Right after the collision, pain shot through Pacquiao’s arm and he was never the same again.
“I could endure the pain, but the power was no longer there,” said Pacquiao.
Now, Pacquiao and his team are under scrutiny for failing to formally disclose the injury to the NSAC, having indicated that he had no injury in the medical questionnaire.
Pacquiao’s adviser, Michael Koncz, admitted that he—not the fighter—filled out the form and made the mistake in the answer box.
Unexpected
The rematch offer of Mayweather was unexpected, as the world’s highest earning athlete had stated during the postfight news conference that he’d be done with boxing after one more bout in September.
Though he hasn’t reviewed the tape of the fight as his staff left it in his suite in Delano Hotel, Pacquiao gave credit to Mayweather, stating that the American deserved the victory and was one of the best fighters he had faced in the ring.
For now, however, Pacquiao isn’t ready yet to concede Mayweather is The Best Ever.

A Great Mismatch
Image courtesy of www.imgkid.com
Singer in Doubt SD has been in a quandary for a time now. While she is undeniably talented, SD is often besieged by self-doubt and insecurity about herself. Oh well, she can’t be blamed for feeling that way. SD knows that her network is a haven for gifted artists and being on the stage with them can really overwhelm and puts one under pressure.
In a segment of their Top Rating Show TS, SD gets to sing with greenhorn but otherwise talented singers TS1 and TS2. These two are powerhouse singers who can give anyone a run for their money. And like SD, too, who is a product of talent search, TS1 and TS2 are likewise contest survivors.
However, SD has not been comfortable singing with TS1 and TS2 for the longest time, as it becomes like a showdown every time. SD always gets compared with the two talents - and she’s just tired of all the harsh comparison. It’s a no brainer – the comparison is always to SD’s disadvantage.
Indeed, netizens often react with SD’s singing, pointing to it as bland, out of tune, emotionless, even her diction takes a beating. In contrast, viewers give very positive/encouraging commentaries to TS1 and TS2, especially TS2 who critics say already poses as a threat to the more established talents, SD included. Although TS1 and TS2 may be considered veterans in various singing competitions, their stars only shone brighter after joining a search where they gained confidence even more.
TS1 is praised for her vocal prowess and unique singing style. TS2 is touted to be the next big thing, reportedly a total package for her looks alone, with effortless stage presence and vocal performance to boot. Thus SD, who is not supposedly as superior, finds singing with them a big letdown for her.
Thus SD reportedly found a way out of this when she requested production to take her out of the trio, and asked instead to sing with the veteran singers of the show. SD quipped that she’d rather be bashed singing with veterans than with newbies TS1 and TS2. There goes her angst..

Pinky Webb Leaves ABS-CBN
Image courtesy of www.abs-cbnnews.com
Veteran broadcaster, Pinky Webb, has resigned from ABS–CBN according to a reliable source. Webb started her career in the network and moved up to anchor during her stint with the station. Other than delivering the news, Webb has co-hosted XXX: eXklusibong, eXplosibong eXpose with Julius Babao and Anthony Taberna. Together with Alvin Elchico, Webb has anchored TV Patrol Weekend. Webb also hosted several shows at ANC. She has also worked in DZMM with Ted Failon for Tambalang Failon at Webb.
Over the years, Webb has received several awards for her work. Among these awards, Webb received the Best Radio Anchor award from the 9th Gawad Tanglaw, and as Best TV Anchor two years later. She was also named as Best Female Morning Show Host during the first Media Newser Philippines (MNP) Awards.
Interestingly, Webb kept her private life away from the public’s eyes despite coming from a famous family. She is the daughter of athlete and media personality, Freddie Webb, and the sister of former basketball player, Jason, and controversial brother, Hubert. She even managed to keep a low profile relationship with actor Edu Manzano for half a decade. The relationship ended at the time when Manzano decided to run for a political position in 2010.
Given all her achievements and years in the newsroom, leaving the country’s top network seems to be unthinkable. However, the source said that the lack of projects was the reason why Webb opted to resign. Allegedly, Webb might be joining the newsroom of an international news entity that has recently started its broadcast in the country.
