Speaking at the Benzene 2009 Symposium (http://www. tum-benzenesymposium. de/), Dr. Richard Irons, CEO of Cinpathogen (http://www. cinpathogen. com/), Inc., announced significant differences in the prevalence of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) subtypes between China and the West. The findings indicate a need for different therapeutic strategies to treat the disease in China.

Dr. Irons' presentation summarized a portion of the findings from the Shanghai Health Study. As part of the study, Cinpathogen researchers diagnosed and analyzed 649 new cases of MDS in Shanghai over a four year period. With that number of cases, it's believed they have completed the largest individual study of MDS anywhere in the world, to date.

Key findings include:
The median age for MDS development in China is 15 years younger than in the West MDS associated with benzene exposure appears to present differently than unexposed MDS cases.

"There is immense satisfaction in knowing we, along with our collaborators, have answered questions that have been on the table for decades," said Dr. Irons. "These results may benefit patients currently in treatment and assist researchers working on new therapies."

Cinpathogen recently completed its portion of the Shanghai Health Study, an eight and a half year research project to study the prevalence of hematopoietic and lymphoid diseases in Shanghai. Particular attention was given to the role of benzene in these diseases.

Participating institutions, orchestrated by Dr. Richard Irons, Cinpathogen CEO, include Fudan University, the University of Colorado, the Shanghai Hematology Society, and the Shanghai Pathology Society. The project was funded by the Benzene Health Research Consortium from January 2001 to Sept. 2009.

Global Nucleic Acid Testing Market to Reach US$5.6 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc

Global Nucleic Acid Testing Market to Reach US$5.6 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on nucleic acid testing market. Global market for nucleic acid testing is projected to reach US$5.6 billion by the year 2015. Growing demand for nucleic acid testing in developing customized medicines and in enhancing the healthcare sector within the life sciences industry is expected to accelerate the market in the coming years.

San Jose, California (Vocus) June 3, 2010

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) is one of the fastest-growing segments of the molecular diagnostics market. Nucleic acid tests outweigh the traditional culture techniques in terms of sensitivity and speed. NAT based tools are widely being used for developing in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) and for discovery and manufacture of novel biomarkers. NAT is the most advanced diagnostic test for examining pathogens of interest and other various genetic disorders. Despite NAT being in the developing stages, the tests are one of the fastest growing segments of the IVD industry. The segment is mainly driven by Viral load applications, HIV, hepatitis and CMV diagnostics.

The US represents the world’s largest market for nucleic acid testing as stated by the new market research report on Nucleic Acid Testing. Adoption of the nucleic acid testing by the clinical laboratory field has been at a rather slow pace than estimated. However, the adoption rate of molecular diagnostics is most likely to increase in the coming years, thanks to the advent of various new technologies such as blotting technologies, amplification technologies, microarray, RNA inhibition analysis, probe technologies, electrophoretic technologies and others.

Major players in nucleic acid testing profiled in the report include Abbott Laboratories Inc., Applied Biosystems Group, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Genomic Health Inc., Genzyme Corporation, Myriad Genetic Inc., Novartis AG, Roche Diagnostics and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc., among others.

The report titled “Nucleic Acid Testing: A Global Market Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides overview of market, market trends, product overview, product developments/introductions, and recent industry activity. The study analyzes market data and analytics in terms of value for regions including the US, and Rest of World. Further, the report analyzes European Nucleic Acid-based Amplification Reagents market by the following segments - Genetic Testing, Infectious Diseases, and Transplant Diagnostics.

The Senior Home Safety Network Announces New Inspection Services to Help Keep Homes Safe for Seniors Aging in Place

Freeport, PA (PRWEB) September 27, 2010

When we were children, we would have never guessed that “coming home for the holidays” would include trying to check if our parents were still safe in their homes. Senior Home Safety Network (SHSN) cofounders Dan and Teresa Howard had that happen to them, and announce nationally available inspection services to help keep seniors safe in their homes and bring peace of mind to the senior's adult children. With regional offices in 42 cities, a concerned family member in California can easily order services in Maryland, or any other area. SHSN services identify safety hazards, find issues that need attention to protect the value of a home or ease the return of a senior to their home after being away from the house.

Dan remembers that before the problems started with the parents in Florida, “nobody was better at taking care of homes than my father-in-law, Louie. He did the odd jobs in the senior community where they lived in Florida just because he loved people and enjoyed tinkering. Anita was as sharp as a tack, and would clean your clock at cards because she was counting those cards from the time they left the deck.”

Then things changed, but Dan, Teresa and the other family members did not recognize what the changes meant. The house was not being kept clean and Louie’s tools were not in perfect order. That was the missed signal that Anita and Louie were in trouble and their home was no longer safe. With the power of hindsight, Teresa recalled the time that Anita was shocked that her mother stopped cleaning the home. For generations, housekeeping changes have been the secret barometer that things are slipping in a home and the lives of seniors, and for generations the children have missed that sign.

Dan says “it is almost funny, as kids, we would chuckle about getting something past our parents. Now the parents are getting things over on the kids such as they can’t fix the loose steps in the basement, or have the gas leak repaired. We were shocked that our parents can be sneaky when it came to fooling us into believing that they were still doing OK.”

The time did come that Anita and Louie did let down their guard to ask Dan and Teresa to visit and spruce up their Florida home. A little paint here, and an adjustment there and the work was supposed to be over. It was then that Dan, as a 30 year veteran home inspector noticed the wiring that was pulled out of the wall and the loose paddle fan over the master bedroom bed among other serious hazards in the home.

That was the beginning of the Senior Home Safety Network (SHSN) which is the first national service to help seniors and their families keep homes safe for seniors aging in place.

Senior Home Safety Network Inspectors have the equipment, certified training and education to recognize safety hazards in the home. Each SHSN Inspector must have criminal record clearances. These professionals must follow the SHSN Standards of Practice and utilize the network reporting system including the privacy provisions for clients.

SHSN inspector’s qualifications can be verified by calling the national office or on the senior Home Safety Network website. To eliminate any conflict of interest or the potential for fraud, SHSN inspectors are not permitted to perform any recommended work on the home.

SHSN’s mission is to help seniors maintain that quality of life, safety and personal freedom in their own home. The bottom line is that when they could, our seniors kept their families safe at home. Now it is our turn to help them. It is what should happen in the course of life.

Almost every SHSN inspector joined the network as a result of their experience with trying to help one of their loved ones to age in place. They know and understand the importance of this job. Information and ordering Senior Home Safety Network services can be done online (http://www. seniorhomesafetynetwork. com/2-4au_hto. html) or by calling the national office at 724 295 9123

Information about resources, services and products to assist seniors and their loved ones is available on the SHSN Facebook pages and the Senior Home Safety Network website (http://www. SeniorHomeSafetyNetwork. com). People facing the issues and challenges of helping seniors to age in place are welcome to share their experiences and connect to other persons facing these issues, related products and service links on the Senior Home Safety Network Facebook page.

About Us

The Senior Home Safety Network is a National Network of verifiably certified home inspectors with training and police clearances. We take our job and senior safety seriously. This program is a mission and a passion, not just a job. Each of our staff and every inspector is a part of the program because they believe in what we do. We are checking a home for health and safety issues. The Senior Home Safety Network is an American Society of Home Inspectors Endorsed Program (http://www. homeinspector. org/resources/partners. aspx)

Author of Allergy Cookbook Offers Free White Paper

Motivational speaker and specialty cookbook author Lisa A. Lundy makes available to the public and media outlets a free white paper on the history of food allergies, which you can download from her website (no registration required): TheSuperAllergyCookbook. com.

Buffalo, New York (Vocus) July 2, 2009

As the Edmund Burke quote goes, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." Motivational speaker and specialty cookbook author Lisa A. Lundy makes available to the public and media outlets a free white paper on the history of food allergies, which you can download from her website (no registration required): http://www. TheSuperAllergyCookbook. com (http://www. TheSuperAllergyCookbook. com)].

Hippocrates, the Greek physician, who is considered to be the Father of Medicine (460 BC - 370 BC), wrote extensively on how food could impact human health long before we had pesticides, herbicides, chemicals and other pollutants, as did many other historically influential physicians from around the world. Hippocrates wrote over two thousand years ago:

"For cheese does not prove equally injurious to all men, for there are those who can take it to satiety, without being hurt by it in the least, but, on the contrary, it is wonderful what strength it imparts to those it agrees with; but there are those who do not bear it well, their constitutions are different…"

Complete with several quotations from Internationally known physicians and twenty-seven medical references, this white paper gives a snapshot view of the history of food allergies (http://www. thesuperallergycookbook. com/history. html) from Hippocrates time to the 1900's as well as the differences in lifestyle and technology in this same time period in a quick and engaging format. It is written in an easy to read format that anyone can understand, yet footnoted with the medical references for scholarly readers who want to dig in on a deeper level.

The white paper was written after extensive research on food allergies conducted at her local medical library as part of a medical paper to ensure that her then 20-month-old daughter's life-saving medical treatments would be covered by their HMO. Lundy believes that education is one of our best tools for transforming health care and provides a content rich website to help people with health issues that can be improved by dietary changes.

Lisa A. Lundy is the author of ''The Super Allergy Girl™ Allergy & Celiac Cookbook (From A Mother Who Knows™),'' a gluten-free, casein-free, dairy-free, egg-free, peanut and tree-nut free and other allergen-free resource for both the beginner and experienced baker. Her cookbook, with more than 225 excellent recipes and over 100 pages of essential information, is not a me-too allergy and celiac cookbook as you might suspect just by looking at the appealing cover.
