Activate Nutrition releases Diet Protein Plus

Posted on by

(PRWEB UK) 19 February 2013

Offering the highest protein content per 100 grams of any lean protein shake on the market, each serving provides 30.8 grams of quality, muscle building whey protein, whilst at the same time being low in fat and carbohydrates.

Packed with proven weight loss ingredients including green tea, CLA, L-Carnitine, taurine and acai berry, Diet Protein Plus offers an affordable alternative for people who want to lose weight but still tone up.

Mark McCall, Managing Director of Activate Nutrition said We have raised the bar with Diet Protein Plus, maintaining a high level of quality that not only helps build lean muscle but can actively benefit a weight loss diet.

Fighting back after last years government decision to add 20% VAT to sports nutrition supplements, Activate Nutrition was granted VAT exemption on its Diet Protein Plus due to its exceptional quality and ability to support weight loss, despite also being a protein shake supplement.

Mr McCall concluded: Being granted VAT exemption for such a fantastic product has meant we can offer our customers even more value without scrimping on quality. We are continually looking at ways to lead in the sports nutrition field and proactively find out what our customers really want from their nutritional supplements.

Diet Protein Plus is the first of our next wave of products due to launch in the coming months and we are excited to be able to offer it in such a competitive market.

Novel coronavirus well-adapted to humans, susceptible to immunotherapy

Posted on by

Public release date: 19-Feb-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Jim Sliwa jsliwa@asmusa.org 202-942-9297 American Society for Microbiology

The new coronavirus that has emerged in the Middle East is well-adapted to infecting humans but could potentially be treated with immunotherapy, according to a study to be published on February 19 in mBio, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology. The study indicates that the virus HCoV-EMC can penetrate the lining of the passageways in the lung and evade the innate immune system as easily as a cold virus can, signs that HCoV-EMC is well-equipped for infecting human cells. The study also reveals that the virus is susceptible to treatment with interferons, components of the immune system that have been used successfully to treat other viral diseases, opening a possible mode of treatment in the event of a large-scale outbreak.

"Surprisingly, this coronavirus grows very efficiently on human epithelial cells," says co-author Volker Thiel of The Institute of Immunobiology at Kantonal Hospital in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Thiel says these new data indicate that although HCoV-EMC may have jumped from animals to humans very recently, it is just as well adapted to infecting the human respiratory tract as other, more familiar human coronaviruses, including the SARS virus and the common cold virus, HCoV-229E.

HCoV-EMC first came to light in June when it was isolated from a man in Saudi Arabia who died from a severe respiratory infection and kidney failure. Since that time, public health officials have identified an additional 10 infected persons, nine of whom had traveled in the Middle East and one who had recent contact with an infected person. The emergence of HCoV-EMC, which is related to the SARS virus, has raised concern that it may eventually lead to a pandemic much like the SARS pandemic of 2002-2003, which is estimated to have sickened over 8,000 people and killed 774 worldwide.

For the mBio study, Thiel and his colleagues tested how well HCoV-EMC could infect and multiply in the entryways to the human lung using cultured bronchial cells manipulated to mimic the airway lining. The lining of the lung, or epithelium, represents an important first barrier against respiratory viruses, but they apparently don't put up a big fight against HCoV-EMC, says Thiel. He and his colleagues found that human airway epithelial cells are highly susceptible to HCoV-EMC infection and that the virus is able to multiply at a faster initial rate than the SARS virus.

"The other thing we found is that the viruses [HCoV-EMC, SARS, and the common cold virus] are all similar in terms of host responses: they don't provoke a huge innate immune response," Thiel says. This is an indication that HCoV-EMC is already well adapted to the human host and that the virus uses that same strategy other coronaviruses use for evading the host's non-specific immune mechanisms.

The authors asked themselves whether boosting this weak immune response might diminish the virus' ability to infect airway epithelial cells. They found that pre-treating the cells with lambda-type interferons, proteins that are released by host cells in response to infection and enable communication between cells to mount an immune response, significantly reduced the number of infected cells. This is encouraging from a treatment standpoint, note the authors, since interferons have also shown a good deal of promise for treating SARS and another viral illness, Hepatitis C.

Thiel and co-author Ronald Dijkman emphasize that their work with HCoV-EMC would not have been possible without the efforts of many different research groups from Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, and Denmark.

Ongoing collaboration is crucial, they say. Future research to head off outbreaks of HCoV-EMC and other emerging diseases requires cooperation and trust among scientists and health agencies, a goal that is not always achieved. The future of this virus is uncertain, Thiel points out, but access to samples from a wider range of patients and epidemiological work could answer some fundamental questions, including where the virus is coming from and what the true prevalence of the virus is.

Hammond lab designated as innovation center

Posted on by

HAMMOND |A Hammond laboratory has been designated a Siemens Microbiology Innovation Center and will serve as a reference site for other labs interested in what Siemens offers in microbiology testing.

Company officials from PCL Alverno, 2434 Interstate Plaza Drive, and Siemens joined lab workers in the microbiology area at Alverno for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting Tuesday morning. Alverno is a partnership of Franciscan Alliance and Presence Health.

At the heart of the innovation center are new equipment systems called Copan Walk-Away Specimen Processors, or WASPs, that will automate specimen processing at the lab.

Scientists at the lab process patient samples from 27 hospitals as well as clinics, doctor's offices and other medical facilities. They analyze about 2,000 plated cultures a day, said Jim Clark, microbiology department manager for Alverno.

The clinic offers more than 750 tests in clinical and anatomic pathology.

The automated WASP systems became operational on Monday, with the goal of increasing efficiency and accuracy, said Bernie Henry, vice president of human resources for Alverno.

Automating the process will cut the time it takes to identify what is making a person ill, he said.

It also will allow employees to spend their time on other, higher-value processes, said Annette Allaire, business manager for the U.S. Region of Siemens.

Alverno and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics signed a multi-year expanded agreement, and Alverno became the first medical diagnostics lab in the country to offer Siemens' full range of advanced microbiology testing solutions, according to Siemens.

"We look forward to bringing other customers and prospects to this site in the future in order to showcase our broad, innovated microbiology portfolio and help them see how it directly benefits medical laboratories' operations and their efforts to deliver fast, accurate test results each and every time," Allaire said.

Study: Being Cold May Promote Longevity

Posted on by

Alternatively, wasabi

Reuters

Roundworms, also known as nematodes, live longer in colder temperatures. According to new research from the University of Michigan, this is because cold air acts as a trigger for a gene receptor -- TRPA-1 -- that, once triggered, sets off a chain of reactions that culminates in the activation of a gene known to be tied to longevity.

The findings contradict the previous understanding that cold temperatures promote longer lifespan because they put the organisms' bodies in a sort of frozen hibernation. The researchers showed that this theory can't fully account for the phenomenon; what's more, mutant nematodes that lacked the TRPA-1 channel, when chilled, actually had shorter lifespans than them TRPA1-positive worms.

So what does this mean for us?

Well, despite the basically zero things we humans have in common with roundworms, we house a human version of TRPA1 (distinguished by its lack of a hyphen).

The old theory for why roundworms live longer in the cold wouldn't have applied to us at all -- the worms are cold-blooded, meaning that their bodies take on the temperature of the environment, allowing for that hibernation-like state. Warm-blooded mammals such as ourselves do our best to remain at a constant temperature, so that particular strategy wouldn't work too well.

But if it's true that activating TRPA1 would set off the same process contributing to longevity in the roundworms, a case could be made for standing out in the cold. The active ingredient in wasabi and mustard oil acts as a trigger for human TRPA1 as well. So as an alternative, in the expert advice of lead author Shawn Xu, "Maybe we should be going to sushi restaurants more often."

File this one under the mostly hypothetical, for now. But we do know that mice (mammals) can live up to 20 percent longer when their core temperature is lowered by just .9 degrees Fahrenheit. And calorie restriction -- theorized to extend life -- also functions to reduce core body temperature. It's all, at the very least, intriguing. And, if you're not into the calorie restriction idea, potentially delicious: wasabi goes best with omega-3-rich seafood.

A Lesson for Apple from High School Biology

Posted on by

By Palwasha Saaim - February 19, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, NOK | 0 Comments

Palwasha is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinions of our bloggers and are not formally edited.

Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) downward spiral that started in late September eroded billions of dollars from the market. The investors who remained loyal to the stock and didn't sell out then are now left in utter disappointment. One such investor, the famous hedge fund manager and founder of Greenlight Capital David Einhorn, just couldn't take it anymore. He's recently came out and decided to sue the tech giant in an effort to push the company management to return some of the lost value back to shareholders using the billions of dollars hoarded in cash.

Einhorn proposes a preferred stock issuance plan. Contrarily, Mad Money's Jim Cramer is proposing that Apple should instead use that cash in crossing-over to other industries. He proposes buying companies like Twitter or Netflix. And then we have our fellow Fool blogger, Andres Cardenal, who proposes a share buyback for Apple. The possibilities are endless and shareholders should rest assured that, now that they've been sued, Apple management is seriously considering each potential route at the moment.

Nonetheless, the last few months have been very unnerving for shareholders as they watched the biggest company (by market capitalization) in the world decline to dirt cheap valuation multiples for no good reason. Many analysts have been speculating the possible reasons for the sudden unwarranted selling activity. Here's my take on it.

Survival 101

Symbiosis, a biological term I learned in high school biology, explains the interaction between two different species in which both benefit (mutualism), one benefits and the other neither gets harmed nor benefits (commensalism), and one benefits and the other gets harmed (parasitism), as well as some other types. Interesting, sure, but why the biology lecture in a financial blog? Well, because I think there's a lesson for Apple to learn from it.

Technology Mutualism

In a space where almost every other competitor exists in symbiosis with one another, Apple is left alone, all by itself to survive in this huge, perpetually growing, and fast-evolving technology industry. Look, for instance, at Nokia(NYSE: NOK) which, at last, sensibly decided to give up its flopping Symbian OS to adopt its competitor's OS--Windows 8. Stephen Elop finally gave in to the fact that his company needed rival Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) assistance to survive. Together, the two benefit each other today. Nokia is finally selling 'smartphones,' not just phones, and Microsoft is starting to claw back some of its lost market share.

Out of the 6.6 million units Nokia sold in Q4, only 2.2 million were its Symbian phones. On the other hand, the Microsoft Windows 8 OS-based Lumia phones accounted for more than two thirds (4.4 million) of Nokia's total units sold. The stock more than doubled following the news of Lumia phones' sell-out. Likewise, Microsoft's Windows OS' fourth quarter market share also climbed to 2.6%, which is a 150% increase from the same quarter from the prior year. Both companies appear to be better positioned in this mutualistic relationship.

Meet the new creationism-in-sheep's-clothing: The "academic freedom" bill

Imagine an American public school where science textbooks were obligated to debunk Charles Darwin; where students could deny global warming and still get an A, and where college professors could tell Biology 101 students that the world was born on the back of a giant turtle. Sounds a little backwards for 2013, right?

Frighteningly, these are all real scenarios that could occur under new education bills proposed this year. But the language in most of these bills is so obtuse that you might not evenknowif you live in one of thesix statesconsidering them (Montana, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Missouri, and Indiana.)

America, meet the new creationism-in-sheep's-clothing: The "academic freedom" bill.

Unlike bills that explicitly require intelligent design and religious curriculums to be taught in schools, academic freedom bills simply permit teachers, schools, and students to explore alternative theories without repercussions. Sounds harmless, right? But Eric Meikle, education project director at the National Center for Science Education, explains that what these bills really do is "open the door for creationist literature." And in the last few years, the number of these bills has skyrocketed, with51 proposed since 2004, and twice as many proposed this year than in all of 2012. (Remember, it's only February.)

Needless to say, science teachers aren't thrilled. "Intelligent design and anti-global warming curriculums harm the general public's perceptions of science, which can decrease students' interest in pursuing science careers," says Kathy Trundle, president of theAssociation for Science Teacher Education. "In turn, U.S. advancements in science [are] negatively impacted." Rick Grosberg, an evolution and ecology professor at the University of California at Davis, points out that "the mere act of teaching intelligent design as if it were an alternative scientific explanation confuses students and the public about what science is."

The secret weapon in these bills is the idea that pupils should understand the "strengths and weaknesses" of different scientific theories. Which theories? Well, as abill proposed by four Republican state senators in Arizonamakes clear, that would be "biological evolution, the chemical origins of life, global warming and human cloning." Coincidentally, these are the exact same theories thatHouse Bill 1674in Oklahoma, proposed by GOP state Rep. Gus Blackwell, considers controversial. His legislation even prevents teachers from flunking students who write papers debunking their textbook material. Seriously.

Low protein foods
Prescription low protein versions of staple foods. Prescribed to me for Maple Syrup Urine Disease. MSUD is an inherited genetic disorder, passed down from two non-affected #39;carrier #39; parents. The worldwide incidence is somewhere between one in 185000 and one in 250000. MSUD disrupts the metabolism of three components of protein called branched chain amino acids (or BCAA; individually named Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine). Because of this metabolic blip individuals have to strictly monitor and control their diet, lifestyle and biochemistry, as well as avoid alcohol and certain types of medication. This stops the BCAA levels building up inside the body, thus maintaining health. If the BCAA levels get too people with MSUD become life-threateningly ill, as well as the urine, ear wax, breath and sweat smelling of Maple Syrup (usually how the disorder is diagnosed in infants). The only out-and-out cure for symptoms of MSUD is a liver transplant, but the person will still be a carrier and have to watch for rejection/take immunosuppressants for life. The best place in the world for metabolic transplants - the Children #39;s hospital in Pitsburgh, has a 90% success rate in liver transplantation. However, this is a procedure which I do not feel would be right for me at this time, and therefore I continue to follow my management protocol. I say this is the video I #39;promised #39; as I #39;d planned to upload a different one earlier, but this one was ready sooner!
