Beaches house overrun by cats gets long-awaited cleanup

Posted on by

Crews clean the outside of a house overrun by cats in the Beaches on Wednesday. CITYNEWS

The outside of a house overrun by cats on a quiet Beaches street was cleaned up Wednesday.

In a CityNews story last week, neighbours said they were desperate to escape the putrid smell of cat excrement emanating from the property, located near Kingston Road.

Dozens of ravenously hungry cats had overwhelmed the inside, and outside, of the house, prompting CityNews reporter Cynthia Mulligan to liken the smell to a giant kitty litter box that hasnt been changed in months.

Area residents took matters into their own hands, trapping a total of 43 felines and handing them over to animal control, which will have them spayed, neutered, and released back into feral colonies.

That may have significantly pared down the cat population, but the mess and smell remained.

After what neighbours described as years of neglect, the issue was finally addressed Wednesday morning when a phalanx of agencies descended on the home.

The street was closed down as fire, police, animal services, the OSPCA, and four junk removal trucks showed up to begin the long-awaited cleanup.

Cats were a large part of the problem, but the property was also littered with years of accumulated junk and debris that was hauled away.

The cleanup initiative, which came after Beaches-East York Coun. Mary-Margaret McMahon arranged a meeting with the agencies, was more than welcomed by neighbours.

At Metropolitan Beaches Commission meeting locals praise Dorchester's beaches

Swimmers headed into the waters of Tenean Beach during the annual Brian Leahy Memorial Polar Bear Plunge.

By Patrick D. Rosso, Town Correspondent

Dorchester residents praised their neighborhood's waterfront, from Tenean Beach to Savin Hill Cove, at a Wednesday meeting of the Metropolitan Beaches Commission, but they also saw room for improvement.

Formed in 2006 by the Massachusetts Legislature and made up of non-profit leaders, residents, and elected officials, the commission evaluates and critiques Department of Conservation and Recreation managed beaches from Nahant to Nantasket. It released its first report in 2007 and is now working on a follow-up, which will provide recommendations for ways to improve the recreation areas.

The 2007 report analyzed conditions at the Malibu/Savin Hill and Tenean Beaches, and concluded that the beaches are important community gathering places, that they are getting cleaner, and that they are easily accessible from public transportation.

The 2007 report, however, found that there were issues with contamination after storms, maintenance of existing facilities was lacking, and there was a need for better police enforcement.

Many at Wednesdays meeting said the beaches have been improving, but that there are still concerns about water quality, safety, and facilities.

The Save the Harbor Save the Bay 2013 Beaches Report Card found Malibu Beach in the middle of the pack when it came to overall water safety in 2012.

Startups do promising work in drug development, stem cell therapy and advanced diagnostics

Posted on by

The author has posted comments on this articleBiswarup Gooptu, ET Bureau | Sep 25, 2013, 09.19AM IST NEW DELHI: Demand for quality healthcare and easier access to capital have led to the launch of many startups working in such areas as new drug development, stem cell therapy and advanced diagnostics. This has made the sector one of the most vibrant in India's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Delhi-based Invictus Technology, which develops drugs for cancer care, is due to begin pre-clinical trials. "These platinum-based drugs will be less toxic and more effective," said Shiladitya Sengupta, 40, cofounder of the startup launched in 2011. "We are not looking at simply treating cancer, we are looking to cure it," said Sengupta who is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. This is the third startup that he has cofounded after Mitra Biotech, a Bangalore-based company that develops technology for personalised cancer therapy and Vyome Biosciences, which addresses skin diseases.

Entrepreneurs like Sengupta are targeting India's $78 billion ( Rs 48,984 crore) healthcare market, which is one of the most under-penetrated globally.

Twenty-four-year-old Zoya Brar quit her job at Google India last year to set up Core Diagnostics, along with colleague Arghya Basu, 27. The company offers high-end diagnostic services for cardiology and oncology,

"In this space, it is the pipeline that matters, not revenue, when it comes to establishing valuation," said Brar whose startup has already received Rs 27 cr of seed funding from Artiman Ventures. The company is now looking to expand into endocrinology and full and partial genome sequencing services.

"There are some very innovative ideas coming out of India, but early investors need to take more risks in backing the ventures," said Amit Varma, managing partner of Quadria Capital, a healthcare-focused private equity fund.

Invictus has garnered venture capital funding in spite of not generating much cash flow. Backed by Navam Capital and Aarin Capital, the company is looking to earn revenue by licensing its product across markets by 2015.

"It's a valuation play. We want to come out with India's first blockbuster cancer drug, and if phase-I trials are successful, then the company can be valued at between $100 million ( Rs 628 cr) and $150 million ( Rs 942 cr)," said Sengupta. Support is also coming from large pharma companies and hospital chains.

Stempeutics Research, which offers affordable stem cell-based therapeutics for the treatment of osteoarthritis and cirrhosis of the liver, is backed by the Manipal Group which runs a network of educational institutions and hospitals in Karnataka.

The Bangalore-based venture is currently conducting Phase-II trials in India and Malaysia for three products: Stempeucel, which focuses on treating cardiovascular, orthopaedics and respiratory diseases; Stempeutron, a device used for cosmetic therapy and Stempeucare that helps in skin regeneration.

Pets Best Insurance Announces Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Veterinary Medicine by Vet-Stem, Inc. Covered by …

Poway, California (PRWEB) September 24, 2013

Vet-Stem, Inc., the world's leading Regenerative Veterinary Medicine company, is pleased to announce that Pets Best Insurance plans provide coverage for Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy.

Pets Best Insurance wants the best for pets and their owners and Vet-Stem offers the best in regenerative medicine for them. Pets suffering from pain of osteoarthritis, joint issues, and injuries of the muscle, tendon and ligament can now be given stem cell therapy.

Vet-Stem first offered stem cell therapy for dogs and cats in 2007. One of the success stories and stem cell advocates is part of the Pets Best Insurance family, Jetta, owned by Greg McDonald, CEO of Pets Best Insurance.

Jack L. Stephens, DVM and President/Founder of Pets Best Insurance talks about Gregs experience: "Our CEO had a wonderful experience utilizing Vet-Stem therapy in his twelve year old lab. He loved throwing, and she loved chasing, a ball every evening. But as she aged, she just could not do it due to severe arthritis. Surgery was not a viable alternative and he asked me about stem cell therapy. I told him we had seen claims with the treatment and it was covered with our insurance. He had it done, her condition very much improved and she was able to chase the ball again. Pets Best Insurance provides full coverage for Vet-Stem Regenerative Cell Therapy, in fact we were early adopters of providing coverage and paying for the therapy. Any procedure performed by practicing veterinarians that helps pets, we are in favor of.

"We are proud that so many dog owners and veterinarians have placed their trust in Vet-Stem Cell therapy. We feel a great sense of accomplishment knowing that there are thousands of dogs and dog owners who have experienced the benefit of stem cell technology. This practical and beneficial application of technology puts stem cell therapy into the present day instead of a future theoretical concept. The fact that Pets Best provides coverage for our therapy is an added plus and makes this a viable treatment option for many more pet owners," said Robert Harman, DVM, MPVM, Founder and CEO of Vet-Stem.
