Soccer-Ferguson praises 'amazing' Beckham's longevity

Posted on by

May 18 (Reuters) - David Beckham's longevity and his ability to reinvent himself were "absolutely incredible", retiring Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has said.

Beckham and Ferguson, who were synonymously linked with Manchester United until the former England captain moved to Real Madrid, both announced in the past 10 days they would retire from soccer at the end of the current season.

The 71-year-old Ferguson's final game in charge after 26 years at Old Trafford will be on Sunday while the 38-year-old Beckham will retire as a player after Paris St Germain's French Ligue finale against FC Lorient on May 26.

"You talk about longevity and in many ways reinventing himself, it has been absolutely incredible," Ferguson was reported as saying by the BBC on Friday.

"When he went to America there wasn't a person in this place who really thought he could have a career," Ferguson added about Beckham's move to LA Galaxy in 2007.

"Yet he went on and still played for his country, he played for AC Milan in European ties and he played for PSG in European ties, and I don't think anyone could have imagined that.

"He had unbelievable stamina ... he could run all day, and that has allowed him to stay in the game at that kind of level, playing for his country in his mid 30s."

Beckham joined Manchester United as an 11-year-old and went on to play 11 years at the club under Ferguson, winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League in a trophy-laden career.

The midfielder, who described Ferguson as a father figure, had a falling out in 2003 when a boot kicked by the manager in the team's dressing room following a defeat struck Beckham in the face and the player moved to Real Madrid later that year.

"I think he's picked the right time (to retire)," Ferguson added. "He's won the league again with PSG and he is exactly the same as me, he has plenty of things to do.

Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. Announces Positive Anti-Malaria Test Results Using Phytofare™ Extract

Posted on by

SEATTLE, May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. (PLPL), a producer of highly bioavailable plant extracts for industries including health, wellness, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical, today announced that the Company's Phytofare Catechin Extract has proven effective in killing the malaria parasite, plasmodium falciparum, in analytical tests developed by and conducted under the supervision of Dr. Sanjeev Krishna at the Division of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Centre for Infection, St George's, London School of Medicine.

In the study, the single and most dominant catechin - Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) - was isolated from Plandai's Phytofare extract and its effectiveness compared in killing the P. falciparum parasite against a purified EGCG extract. The results, which are expected to be published soon, showed that the Phytofare extract killed the parasite and with a lower dosage than the purified EGCG extract.

Roger Duffield, Chief Executive Officer of Plandai, commented, "These initial findings provide evidence corroborating previous scientific findings that Epigallocatechin Gallate catechin can kill the malaria parasite. This study involving Phytofare is the first to show the effectiveness of using a commercial botanical extract, rather than purified extract of EGCG catechin, as an anti-malarial.

"We believe these results validate our decade-long research into the opportunity for using botanical extracts as a means to combat one of the world's great plagues. Dr. Krisha's clinical data indicate that Phytofare extract has a stable platform with predictable outcomes, making it a suitable candidate for further investigations. We now have the opportunity evaluate the extract in further studies, including inhibiting the parasite in the glucose transporter and as a potential prophylactic by destroying the sporozoites during their journey from injection into the human blood by the female mosquito to the liver."

Plandai is finalizing agreements to undertake further in vitro and then mouse studies at the University of Cape Town, Department of Clinical Pharmacology, to further validate the antimalarial drug target through greater synergistic activity of the complete Phytofare catechin complex containing the total eight catechins, rather than the single isolated Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG).

Once all these results have been evaluated, the Company will submit its application with the US Food and Drug Administration to commence Phase II human clinical trials.

Each year, approximately 500 million people worldwide become infected with malaria. Of those infected, roughly 600,000 will die from the disease. The development of vaccine options has so far proved challenging due to the complexity of the parasite. In addition, drug-resistant strains of the parasite are moving across Southeast Asia, prompting the need to develop a new line of drug options.

New coronavirus tested at Canada’s national lab

Posted on by

Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory is developing diagnostic tests for the new coronavirus infection that has sickened at least 40 people worldwide and caused at least 20 deaths.

The Winnipeg lab obtained a live sample of the novel coronavirus from Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on May 4.

The virus strain is the human beta-coronavirus EMC (HCoV-EMC), a spokesperson for the agency said in an email.

The lab's research priorities for the virus include:

Doctors and researchers want to develop antibody tests to help with diagnosis.

Provincial public health laboratories can also detect the coronavirus using diagnostic tests that the national lab produced using the genetic sequence data of the new virus.

The virus first appeared last year in the Middle East and travellers have brought it to France, Britain and Germany.

"The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has informed WHO of an additional two laboratory-confirmed cases with infection of the novel coronavirus," the UN health agency said in a statement Wednesday.

It is the first time that health-care workers have been confirmed with the infection from exposure to patients, Gregory Hartl, head of public relations and social media for WHO, said in an email.

Hartl said he did not know what kind of health-care workers they were.

105-year-old woman says bacon is the key to longevity

Bacon: Secret To A Long, Happy Life?

A 105-year-old Texas woman recently revealed her secret to her longevity: bacon.

Pearl Cantrell from Richland Springs, Texas, recently celebrated her 105th birthday with more than 200 guests. The event lasted three days.

"I love bacon, I eat it every day," Pearl Cantrell told NBC affiliate KRBC. "I don't feel as old as I am, that's all I can say."

Cantrell became a widow at age 38 and worked as everything from a cotton picker to a hay baler while raising seven kids on her own. Although Cantrell retired decades ago, she kept mowing her own lawn until the age of 100, according to the West Texas Tribune. She also still dances some of her favorite styles include country dancing, waltzing and two-stepping.

When Oscar Mayer found out about Cantrell's love of bacon, they sent one of their iconic Wienermobile to make a bacon delivery to Cantrell's home. Cantrell rode shot-bun in the Wienermobile through her hometown, as dozens of local residents watched.

"We've seen a lot of stories on the road, but nothing quite like this one, so we're excited to be here," an Oscar Meyer spokesman told Big Country Homepage. "We know shes an inspiration. Pearl is an inspiration for the community, and her friends and family. So we had to make a special stop here for her today."

A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine last March found that eating a single serving of processed red meat (about the size of a deck of cards) every day increased the risk of participants dying prematurely by 13 percent. If a person ate an additional serving of processed red meat, the chance of drying during the 22 year study period jumped to 20 percent. However, a more recent study performed by the University of Zurich found the opposite: that eating little or no red meat can be a risk factor for early death.

Despite what research says, Cantrell plans to continue eating bacon and dancing.

"I love bacon, I could eat it for every meal and I do!" Cantrell said.

Canada’s national lab has sample of new coronavirus

Posted on by

TORONTO -- Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg has a sample of the new coronavirus that is causing infections in a number of countries, most notably Saudi Arabia.

Scientific director Dr. Frank Plummer says the lab obtained the virus from the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The Dutch lab was the one that first identified the new virus last June in a sample from a Saudi man who had died of a mysterious illness.

Plummer says the coronavirus arrived at the Winnipeg facility on May 4.

He says the lab is growing up stocks of the virus and will use it to assess diagnostic tests being used in Canada.

As well Winnipeg scientists plan to do some work to see which animal species can be infected with the new virus.

That research will be done in conjunction with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's national lab, the National Centre for Foreign Animal Diseases. The animal lab is housed in the same complex as the National Microbiology Laboratory.

The Winnipeg lab made diagnostic tests months ago, based on genetic sequence data of the new virus. Those tests have been in the hands of provincial labs since last fall, Plummer says.

To date about a handful of people have been tested for the infection in Canada, but all the tests have come back negative.

But having the actual virus to work with will allow the Winnipeg scientists to start developing a blood test to look for past infection with the virus, Plummer says.

Easton businesses honored for their longevity

Posted on by

Chuck Adams wasn't looking for accolades.

But when the mayor's office contacted his business, Easton Upholstery, about being honored for its longevity in the Downtown area, Adams agreed to participate.

He wasn't the only one.

Easton on Tuesday night paid tribute to Downtown businesses established 20 years ago or longer -- 45 in all.

Adams is the third generation of his family to preside over the upholstery business, which was founded by his grandfather Stephen Adams in 1926.

It's been in the 500 block of Northampton Street the whole time, keeping customers growing with sharp customer service and attention to detail, Adams said.

"This was fantastic for every one of the grassroots businesses of Downtown, which have been through the high spots and low spots," Adams said. "As a small business, you have to stick it out."

About 125 people attended a recognition ceremony and reception at the Sigal Museum in the 300 block of Northampton Street.

Mayor Sal Panto Jr. said it was designed to recognize business owners who laid the groundwork for recent successes that have lifted Easton's profile and helped lure people to rediscover Downtown.

"There are a lot of people that we forget paved the way," Panto said. "We make a big deal of new businesses, and believe me it's nice to have them, but it's also important to recognize the ones who stayed and got it all started."

Family longevity may lessen early onset of dementia

Posted on by

The sons and daughters of people who live very long lives tend to get the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease later than others, but they're not immune from the memory-robbing disease, according to a new study.

Based on comparisons of people in their 90s, their spouses, siblings, children and their children's spouses, researchers found that the offspring of people with exceptional longevity were about 40 percent less likely than peers to be cognitively impaired between ages 65 and 79.

It's not necessarily that these individuals never become cognitively impaired, but what it seems like is that there is a delayed onset of cognitive impairment, said Stephanie Cosentino of the Columbia University Medical Center in New York.

By the time the older generation of study volunteers were in their 90s, however, their risk of being cognitively impaired was fairly high.

So Cosentino's team projects that the kids of these long-lived individuals will have the same risk level as their parents if they enjoy similar longevity -- that is, they'll no longer be protected.

Loosely defined, longevity means living beyond the average age of death among peers. In the U.S. today, for instance, a 65-year-old man can expect to live to age 83, on average, and a woman to age 85.

As life expectancies continue to rise, few have investigated whether that means people live to those old ages cognitively intact, Cosentino and her colleagues write in JAMA

Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed in about 5,000 Americans each year. It's the most common form of dementia, affecting more than 5 million Americans, according to the National Institute on Aging.

Both longevity and dementia risk have some degree of heritability.

For the new study, the researchers used data on cognitive impairment from 1,870 people who are part of the Long Life Family Study, which includes volunteer participants in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Denmark.

Council suspends longevity pay

Posted on by

PARKERSBURG - Following a lively debate, a divided Parkersburg City Council approved the final reading of an ordinance suspending longevity pay for employees on Tuesday.

Councilmembers split 6-3 on the vote, with the majority approving a plan to indefinitely suspend planned yearly pay increases for employees. The ordinance would allow council to bring longevity pay back to the table at a later time.

Longevity pay had been suspended on an annual basis by council in recent years due to economic issues. Under longevity pay, employees received annual 30 cent pay increases, but the program caused issues when positions were vacated and base pay was under market price for new employees.

Photo by Michael Erb Parkersburg City Council President Jim Reed, left, speaks to council members J.R. Carpenter, center, and Mike Reynolds, right, during Tuesdays council meeting.

Councilman John Kelly, who unsuccessfully tried to have the ordinance repealed last month, renewed arguments against the suspension Tuesday, asking for the ordinance to instead be sent to the city's Personnel Committee for review.

"Suspending it just postpones an action we need to take," he said. "We are passing our problem on to future councils and administrations."

Mayor Bob Newell argued against the action, saying the Personnel Committee already is obligated to review employee pay, including longevity, prior to Nov. 30 each year. By suspending longevity now, it would remain an option for council in the future and could be revised if needed.

City attorney Joe Santer urged council to act definitively Tuesday evening, saying longevity pay would go back into effect July 1 if no action was taken.

"You need to repeal or suspend it tonight, or on July 1 something is going to happen you don't want," Santer said.

Kelly's motion to send the ordinance to committee was defeated 3-6, with Kelly, Roger Brown and J.R. Carpenter voting in favor of the motion. Those three then voted against suspending longevity pay, which passed by a 6-3 vote.

Costa Rica: Where Medical Tourism Means Youth and a Luxury Vacation

Posted on by

(PRWEB) May 15, 2013

Imagine an escape to tropical beaches, lush rain forests and golden sun... to 1,000-thread count linens, gourmet cuisine and attentive service. Imagine an escape to beautiful, sunny Costa Rica. And now, thanks to legal and safe anti-aging HGH and hormone replacement therapy, you'll enjoy both the tropics and a new you.

The only thing that can make this vacation to paradise even more appealing is making it free and bundling it with the energy and vitality of youth and better overall health.

Dreams come true in Costa Rica. Medical tourists to this small, Central American nation enjoy not only cutting-edge technology and top-notch medical care (at 40-50% less than it would cost in the U.S.), but with the money they save, they can treat themselves to a luxurious getaway to one of the world's most spectacular tropical nations.

But, the question is, how do they comfortably enjoy a luxury vacation and save money when they've just had a hip or knee replacement, a face lift or are recovering from ten dental implants? The answer lies in a new, rapidly expanding sector anti-aging medicine, which has no treatment side effects and saves patients thousands of dollars by visiting Costa Rica, thereby enabling them to splash out on a free, luxury vacation.

What is Anti-Aging Medicine? Many people are already aware that Costa Rica is famous for traditional medical tourism plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, and otherwise high-cost procedures, like knee and hip replacements. But anti-aging medicine is beginning to take the Costa Rican medical tourism industry by storm.

And the Anti-Aging Institute of the Americas is leading the charge.

Now, Legal HGH and Hormone Replacement Offered in Costa Rica Founded by Dr. Leslie Mesen, a Costa Rican and U.S.-educated doctor, the Anti-Aging Institute offers a variety of treatments that not only turn back the clock visually, but actually restore the youth, energy and vitality enjoyed by the average twenty-something. Dr. Mesen explains, "Anti-aging is a new specialty that targets the wellbeing and overall health of middle-aged men and women. It's also an excellent option for seniors who really want to make their golden years shine. I always say that growing older is inevitable, but feeling old is a choice. At the Anti-Aging Institute, we empower our patients to choose youth. We walk them down the path to more active, more fulfilling lives, so they have the energy and stamina to enjoy the lifestyle they've worked hard to achieve.

At the Anti-Aging Institute, the premise is simple: as people age, their hormone levels plummet. Hormone replacement (testosterone for men, estrogen for women) and human growth hormone, or HGH, restores these levels to what they were during the peak of youth, reaping huge rewards for patients' mental vitality, energy, physique and overall health. And unlike in the United States, where the FDA has declared HGH illegal for off label use, such as for anti-aging purposes, HGH and hormone replacement therapy are completely legal in Costa Rica, which recognizes their positive effects and peoples' right to medically approved treatments.

At the Anti-Aging Institute, all patients are welcomed with personalized medical care, attentive staff, and state-of-the-art technology. The initial consultation at the Anti-Aging Institute begins with a full medical workup, followed by an interview with Dr. Mesen to develop a personalized treatment to restore every patient's hormone levels to optimal levels.

Puhua International Hospitals, Beijing: New Anti-aging Study

Posted on by

Beijing, China (PRWEB) (PRWEB) May 15, 2013

Puhua International Hospitals (PIHs)-Temple of Heaven (http://puhuahospital.com) (http://www.puhuachina.com) has been a leading international neuroscience and biotechnology center in Beijing, China, for the past 20 years. During that time, Puhua has built and maintained a dominant presence in Beijing in the areas of applied biotechnology, neurology, neurosurgery, medicine, cancer, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and surgery. PIH also has vigorous programs of Integrative Oncology and Diabetes.

Over the past decade Puhua International Hospitals-Temple of Heaven has made huge strides forward in applied cellular biotechnology (stem cell therapy, or SCT). Thus, in addition to its high level of diagnostic and therapeutic expertise, PIH has become a world leader in applied biotechnology, cellular science and applied stem cell technology.

It is in these areas of applied clinical research that remarkable progress is being made in the areas of: spinal cord repair; post-traumatic brain injury; cerebral palsy; Parkinsons disease; cerebral-vascular and cardio-vascular disease, and diabetes. By utilizing cellular/regenerative medicine and biotechnology at the time of surgical repair for spinal cord and brain injury, the neurosurgeons and clinical scientists at Puhua International are today redefining what is now possible in terms of recovery from neurological injury and disease.

Whereas traditional SCT utilizes donor cell-lines, newer technologies using autologous stem cells (meaning stem cell lines derived from the patients) are now also being successfully employed. Autologous cellular therapy is extremely safe and cost-effective for younger (under 40 years of age) patients with diagnoses such as: cerebral palsy, anoxic encephalopathy, autism, diabetes and many other conditions.

Puhua International Hospitals-Temple of Heaven, Beijing (http://puhuahospital.com) (http://www.puhuachina.com) is a Center of Excellence in neurology and neurosurgery as well as a leader on the frontier of applied cellular science and biotechnology.

James T. Quinlan, MD, is an American physician, trained at the University of Iowa, with a life-long interest and commitment to the subject of wellness, regenerative medicine and anti-aging. He is heading the initiative at Puhua International Hospitals (PIH)-Temple of Heaven to apply what has been learned in the past decade of applied stem cell science to the important and fascinating frontier of Anti-aging Medicine.

What is meant by old age? The concept of being old is quite relative. In fact, in a world of aging people, people who can now expect to live to 80, it becomes critically important to attempt to both better define the terms, and to lay out those elements that may be improved by current medical bio-technology. This imperative derives both from first principles: to attend to the health and happiness of the individual. However, since it is now possible to pre-empt many of the diseases of aging by cellular biotechnologies, it is time to re-examine and re-define what it means to age normally.

In other words, does the normal process of aging need to include the diseases of aging? Perhaps it does not, or at least not the way that it used to. Further, it is also necessary to look for ways to keep aging populations as healthy as possible. Not only is this the right thing to do, but we actually have no alternative. There is simply not enough carrying capacity (to use an environmental idiom) to sustain a planet over-populated by people who are sick and infirm from the diseases of aging.

So, what is aging, and what is meant by normal? What are the current options?

Nashville Plastic Surgeon Opens Clinic for Anti-Aging Solutions

Posted on by

NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwired - May 15, 2013) - Dr. Nicholas Sieveking, a board certified plastic surgeon in Nashville, is now treating both the inside and the outside. Although he has been achieving unparalleled surgical results over the past 12 years, Dr. Sieveking desired to do more for his patients; he wanted to make them "feel as good as they looked." That is why he says he opened the Clinic of Ageless Solutions. Now, with the addition of state-of-the-art hormone and nutrient testing and lifestyle evaluation, he can offer internal ageless solutions.

At Sieveking Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sieveking performs a wide range of procedures, including facelift, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, cosmetic laser therapy and more. Now, with the anti-aging medicine coupled with cosmetic surgery, the Clinic of Ageless Solutions is allowing Dr. Sieveking to see results never before realized.

The following are among treatments available at the new clinic:

Dr. Sieveking's cosmetic surgery patients tend to be great candidates for the anti-aging therapies, and he often encourages them to get the treatment as it can help prolong their surgical results. The therapies can be started post-surgery, but Dr. Sieveking recommends initiation beforehand for better short- and long-term results. He adds that even people who are not previous patients of his Nashville plastic surgery practice can benefit from the anti-aging therapies, as it can help slow the aging process and prevent diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and dementia.

As Dr. Sieveking continues to detect, treat and prevent age-related conditions at his clinic, more and more patients are experiencing relief from age-related conditions, such as heart disease, memory loss, and hypertension. Dr. Sieveking strongly asserts that board certified plastic surgeons are the best specialists to address the vast array of anti-aging therapies as they have a wealth of knowledge resulting from their comprehensive medical training. Overall, his goal at the Clinic of Ageless Solutions is to provide treatment from the inside out, restoring vitality and youth to his patients.

About Dr. Nicholas E. Sieveking

Dr. Nicholas Sieveking has successfully maintained his solo plastic surgery practice since the retirement of his previous partner Dr. Thomas Orcutt. He is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. He first joined the Academy to learn about anti-aging therapies in order to start his own clinic. Before entering the plastic surgery profession, Dr. Sieveking trained in general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. Today, he strives to consistently provide patients with advanced and reliable results. Dr. Sieveking is available for interview upon request.
