Bringing Long Island’s Only Local-First E-Commerce Platform to Shoppers in Nassau and Western Suffolk

LONG ISLAND, N.Y., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Trellus Marketplace, the first and only e-commerce platform dedicated entirely to Long Island small businesses, has officially launched across desktop, iOS (Apple App Store), and Android (Google Play), offering a seamless shopping experience for customers who want to support local from anywhere.

 

Unlike national e-commerce platforms, Trellus works exclusively with small businesses and uses a local delivery network.

With over 80+ participating businesses and 25,000+ SKUs of locally sourced products, the Trellus Marketplace brings the ease of online shopping together with the heart of the local economy.

“At Johnny Breads, we’ve been absolutely thrilled with the home delivery system through Trellus Marketplace. Our customers love how easy and convenient the app is to use, and the consistent, reliable delivery service has made a huge impact on their overall experience with us. We’re excited to continue growing together and would highly recommend Trellus to any business looking for a dependable, customer-friendly delivery partner.” – Johnny Dellaquila, Owner of Johnny Breads

For a limited time, Trellus is offering free local delivery to encourage shoppers to discover the convenience and joy of buying local. Whether it’s gifting, everyday shopping, or discovering something new, Trellus makes it easy to shop with purpose and feel good about every purchase.

Trellus is not new to the local delivery scene. For the past four years, the company has built and operated its own network of professional, trusted drivers who specialize in same-day delivery. This unique model helps merchants keep local consumers and offers the kind of online shopping experience usually reserved for the biggest retailers.

“We’ve built Trellus to be accessible across all devices because we know today’s shopper expects flexibility and speed,” said JR Jensen, CTO and Co-Founder of Trellus. “Our technology bridges the gap between Main Street and modern e-commerce, so small businesses can thrive in a competitive digital world.”

By

SEATTLE, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Edge Delta, the leader in intelligent telemetry pipelines for observability and security data, is pleased to announce the appointment of Patrick Blahosky as the company’s new Head of Sales. Mr. Blahosky joins the team during a pivotal period of growth as Edge Delta scales to meet rising global demand for its telemetry pipeline solution.

With more than two decades of sales leadership experience at companies including Splunk, Dynatrace, and Flosum, Mr. Blahosky will lead Edge Delta’s global sales strategy and go-to-market execution. He brings deep expertise in driving revenue growth and building high-performing teams in the data, analytics, and observability space.

“Patrick’s track record of leading high-growth GTM organizations in the observability and security ecosystem makes him the ideal leader to help us as we scale,” said Ozan Unlu, Founder & CEO of Edge Delta. “As enterprises struggle to manage the cost, complexity, and volume of telemetry data, Patrick’s leadership will be key as we bring our differentiated approach to more customers around the world.”

Edge Delta provides the foundational layer that gives teams control and visibility over their observability and security data — before it’s ingested by downstream tools. Through its intelligent telemetry pipelines, Edge Delta standardizes and enriches data, streams it to observability platforms, SIEMs, and archives, and offers real-time insight into data flows and configurations. The platform empowers organizations to optimize operations, reduce cost, and improve system performance — all while managing explosive data growth at scale.

“Edge Delta is solving a massive and growing problem in a novel, highly scalable way,” said Mr. Blahosky. “Companies today are buried under an avalanche of telemetry data, with little visibility and even less control. Edge Delta flips that paradigm, and I’m excited to join the team to help bring this technology to more organizations that are hungry for real solutions.”

The appointment underscores Edge Delta’s continued commitment to reshaping how enterprises manage and extract value from their observability and security data — enabling teams to shift from reactive monitoring to proactive, data-driven operations.

Published Feasibility Study Shows Glean™ Urodynamics System is Safe and Efficacious

Published

By

100% of patients with Glean were able to void with the sensor indwelling.

IRVINE, Calif., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bright Uro, a medical device company with a mission to transform care for lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) through innovations in urodynamics, today announced that its recent feasibility study was published in the Journal of Endourology. Results showed that the Glean™ Urodynamics System is a safe, and well-tolerated device that enables ambulatory urodynamics without catheters impeding lower urinary tract function.

Urodynamics is used to diagnose lower urinary tract dysfunction; however, conventional urodynamics results often poorly correlate to patient symptoms because of the non-physiological nature of the test. The Glean Urodynamics System is the first and only FDA-cleared, wireless, catheter-free ambulatory urodynamics system that allows clinicians to study lower urinary tract dysfunction in a more physiological manner.

The objective of the Modern Urodynamics System Efficacy (MUSE) study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the Glean Urodynamics System for use in the clinic setting.

MUSE was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter interventional trial that enrolled adults with lower urinary tract dysfunction. Participants underwent conventional urodynamics per standard of care followed by ambulatory urodynamics using the intravesical Glean bladder sensor.

The Glean sensor was successfully inserted in 32 patients. The median sensor insertion time was 34 seconds and median sensor removal time was 6 seconds. The Glean Urodynamics System, placed in the bladder, recorded vesical pressure, and all 32 participants were able to void with the sensor indwelling. Overall participant feedback on the Glean Urodynamics System was positive, and clinicians reported it was easy to use. Eighty-one percent of insertions were rated by clinicians as easy or very easy while 97% removals were rated as easy or very easy.

There were no serious adverse events in the study. All adverse events were commonly associated with urodynamics and self-resolved within days after the procedure.

“The fact that all 32 patients were able to void with Glean in place was groundbreaking. With conventional urodynamics, at least a quarter of the patients in my practice are unable to void due to the catheter in place. I’m confident I will get quality uroflow data with Glean,” said Dr. Keith Xavier of Urology Partners of North Texas.

“Glean has been a game-changer in our approach to urodynamic testing,” said Dr. Jason Kim of Stony Brook Medicine. “It’s remarkably easy to place and remove, and I felt fully confident with the system after just a few cases. Traditional urodynamics has been limited to only two of our ten practice locations due to the high capital costs and resource-intensive setup. As a result, wait times are long and many patients simply give up before getting tested. With Glean, we have an opportunity to dramatically expand access to this essential diagnostic tool by offering it across all ten of our sites—bringing testing closer to patients and streamlining care.”

“The level of enthusiasm surrounding the Glean technology has been truly remarkable! Results from the MUSE study exceeded expectations and we are excited that the results have been accepted in such a renowned peer-reviewed journal. We look forward to sharing more results from ongoing clinical trials as we continue to build a strong foundation of evidence while creating the future of urodynamic monitoring,” added Derek Herrera, Founder and CEO of Bright Uro.

About Glean

The Glean™ Urodynamics System is a urodynamic analyzer system that is intended to quantify the pressure and flow characteristics of the lower urinary tract. The system can be used in adult patients to perform standard urodynamic tests such as uroflow, cystometrogram, urethral pressure profile, and micturition studies. The major application of urodynamics is the diagnosis of uncontrolled loss of urine (incontinence), abnormal urinary retention, or neurological cases of micturition disorder. The device is intended to be used as medical diagnostic equipment.

About Bright Uro

Based in Irvine, Calif., Bright Uro’s mission is to transform care of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) with its innovative technology that is poised to disrupt outdated urodynamics approaches. The Company’s FDA-cleared Glean™ Urodynamics System is designed to enable wireless, catheter-free ambulatory urodynamics monitoring, with the goal of improving patient comfort and clinical outcomes.
