Key gene found responsible for chronic inflammation, accelerated aging and cancer
Researchers at NYU School of Medicine have, for the first time, identified a single gene that simultaneously controls inflammation, accelerated aging and cancer. "This was certainly an unexpected finding," said principal investigator Robert J. Schneider, PhD, the Albert Sabin Professor of Molecular Pathogenesis, associate director for translational research and co-director of the Breast Cancer Program at NYU Langone Medical Center. "It is rather uncommon for one gene to have two very different and very significant functions that tie together control of aging and inflammation. The two, if not regulated properly, can eventually lead to cancer development. It's an exciting scientific find."

Low testosterone levels could raise diabetes risk for men
Low levels of testosterone in men could increase their risk of developing diabetes, a study suggests.
Scientists have found that low testosterone levels are linked to a resistance to insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels.

COPD Tops Asthma as the Focus Indication for Next Generation Respiratory Therapies
Citeline, the world's leading research authority on pharmaceutical clinical trials, updates, and intelligence recently reviewed the results presented at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) conference held May 18-23, 2012 in San Francisco, CA. The strong competition to launch the next fixed dose combination (FDC) blockbuster for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was of particular interest to reviewer Jennifer Stacey, Citeline's Analyst in Autoimmune/Inflammation.

 Professional Blood Collection Kits
The AdvanceDx100 Serum Separator Collection Card is a revolutionary new way to collect, store, and transport micro-sample blood specimens for laboratory analysis. It supersedes all previous collection methods in its ease of use and accuracy. Complicated instructions and difficult procedures are now a thing of the past. Specimen drops no longer have to be specifically separated and accurately deposited, but are, instead, actually layered one upon another. There is no guesswork as to whether a specimen has been properly collected.
The secret to this patent pending device lies in its special blood transport method that actually separates the blood serum from the red blood cells right on the card. This is the same process that occurs when a tube of blood is "spun down" in a centrifuge before processing. (Most laboratory tests are performed on the serum only, and it must be separated from the red cells for analysis.) Because the serum is already isolated when the sample reaches the laboratory, complicated and time consuming extraction procedures are no longer necessary. Consequently, test results are reported much more rapidly.

 Vitalograph copd-6 Range
For the early detection of COPD – quickly, simply & accurately
The new Vitalograph copd-6 offers fast, simple and effective screening of those at risk for COPD. The dual zone indicators provide an instant indication of both the obstructive index and the COPD classification.
Using NHANESIII predicted values, the copd-6 measures and displays FEV1, FEV6, FEV1/FEV6 and percent of predicted. The copd-6 USB links to your PC to produce electronic pdf for attaching to patient’s file and hard copy color reports.
Those with measurements within the normal range can be screened out, allowing diagnostic spirometry resources to be focused on those most at risk.
- Fast screening of at-risk groups
- Provides quick assessment of need for full spirometry
- Displays FEV1, FEV6, FEV1/FEV6 measured and percent of predicted
- Obstructive Index and COPD classification indicator
- Indication of effective Lung Age
- NHANES III predicted value sets
- Small, light weight, portable unit
- Designed for multi-patient use with SafeTway® mouthpieces
- Full size color report from USB version
- Large, easy to read display
