Unfair to withhold student’s degree for dues: Consumer court rules

Posted on by

New Delhi, Dec 12 (IANS) It is unfair for a university or college to withhold a student's degree to recover dues, the apex consumer court has ruled and said it would be preferable for the institution to move a civil court to get its money back.

"Such kind of practice is not fair," the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission said in a recent ruling in connection with a case involving Sushith, a student pursuing an MD degree in biochemistry, the Manipal University and the Kasturba Medical College in Karnataka.

The court directed the university and the college to pay Rs.10,000 as compensation to Sushith, 32, before Feb 6, 2013.

The commission's Presiding Member V.B. Gupta also questioned why the college and the university did not move a civil court to recover the alleged dues of Rs.9.3 lakh from Sushith, a resident of Mangalore, whose degree was withheld.

The case reached the national commission after the university and the college appealed against an order of the Karnataka State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Bangalore, favouring Sushith.

Sushith's degree was withheld for allegedly breaching an agreement with the university and the college that required him to serve there for five years after completing the course -- failing which he was supposed to repay the entire tuition fee whose burden was borne by them.

The national commission said: "Even if it is held for a while that...the student is liable to refund the tuition fee, the remedy is still open to the university and college to recover the same by approaching an appropriate civil court."

"When such an equally efficacious remedy is readily available to them, they cannot illegally retain the said degree certificate," Gupta said in the order, a copy of which is with IANS.

Sushith said in his complaint that he took admission to post-graduate degree course in MD in biochemistry for academic year 2005-06 and passed the course in 2008.

The college was required to issue him a degree certificate confirmed by the Manipal Academy of Higher Education. But despite repeated requests, it refused to issue the certificate and withheld it, he said.

Hormone Replacement Clinic, Renew Health and Wellness Opens in Richmond, Virginia. New Center Specializes in Anti …

Posted on by

Renew Health and Wellness in Richmond, Virginia opens a new anti-aging clinic specializing in bio-natural hormone replacement therapy for both Women and Men.

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) December 12, 2012

The Richmond center is owned by real estate entrepreneur Don R. Cameron. His successful career in consulting and medical project management led the way to his investment in the Renew centers. Cameron shares ownership with Adren and Pam Greene.

We are excited to bring this new service to the Richmond area, said Cameron. We have only been open a short time and we are already having a positive impact on the lives of our clients.

Other key staff include Harriet McCoy, nurse practitioner. McCoy, who has a Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology, and a second Masters as a nurse practitioner began her career in healthcare at Pritikin Longevity Center. Working in the preventative medicine field for over 14 years, she brings great insight to Renews Richmond facility and is dedicated to the concept of natural healing.

Our bio-natural hormone replacement therapy has been shown to have many positive effects on both women and men, said McCoy. These include weight loss, mood enhancement, improved energy levels and more continued McCoy.

Anti-aging treatments are significant because both men and women can have hormone deficiencies as they get older. Even menapause can affect hormone balance significantly. The Renew Health and Wellness Clinics treat this with a bio-natural process that starts with a simple blood test.Take our 3 minute Hormone Health test here to see if you are a candidate.

All therapy programs begin with a consultation from a licensed physician or nurse practitioner and are managed alongside of your current healthcare needs and requirements. The bio-natural process is plant-derived and comes from the wild yam. Little or no side effects exist with this treatment and all programs are individually customized to each patients needs.

The new Richmond area facility is located at 10120 West Broad St (Suite F), Glen Allen, Virginia, 23060. Contact them directly at 804.447.2332 or see map and other details here. The second "Renew" office is located in St. Louis, Missouri.

Anti-aging gene 'may help suppress tumours'

Posted on by

Washington, December 12 (ANI): In a new study, researchers have shed more light on how an anti-aging gene suppresses cancer growth.

According to the new joint study by the University of Michigan Health System and Harvard Medical School, loss of the SIRT6 protein in mice increases the number, size and aggressiveness of tumors.

The study also suggests that the loss of SIRT6 promotes tumor growth in human colon and pancreatic cancers.

"It is critical to understand the spectrum of genes that suppress tumor development," co-senior author David Lombard from U-M Medical School said.

"Our research suggests SIRT6 may have a critical role in blocking cancer and controlling cellular metabolism. We hope to build on this work to better understand how this protein suppresses tumor development, and provide insight into potential future means of reprogramming cancer metabolism," he said.

The research was done in conjunction with the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center at Harvard Medical School. Raul Mostoslavsky, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, was the co-senior author.

The new research highlights the role SIRT6 plays in dampening cancer growth by repressing aerobic glycolysis - a major feature of cancer cells that involves the conversion of glucose to lactate. SIRT6 also inhibits activity of the key cancer gene Myc.

Many studies in cancer biology have focused on the importance of tumor suppressor proteins and how they may protect cells from progressing to cancer.

The new research follows up on previous studies that have tied SIRT6 to longevity in male mice. Other research has also shown that the protein may protect against diet-induced obesity.

"This work points to the conservation of biological mechanisms between lower organisms and humans, and the importance of fundamental basic research," Lombard said.

Photo Release — GIOSTAR and the Government of India to Enter $2 Billion Stem Cell Therapy Program – Official State …

Posted on by

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Global Institute Of Stem-cell Therapy And Research (GIOSTAR) announced today a collaborative treatment plan to serve the local population suffering from a genetic disease, Sickle Cell Anemia. President and CEO, Mr. Deven Patel and his team met with Honorable Chief Minister Shri Arjun Munda of State of Jharkhand, India in November 2012 to address the local population's medical needs.

A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=16184.

As a follow-up, a government delegation representing the state of Jharkhand, India; Chief Minister, Principal Health Secretary, Chief Secretary and many other officials are visiting GIOSTAR in San Diego on December 14, 2012 to finalize the proposed two (2) billion U.S. dollar contract to be serviced over the next 15 years.

Bob Filner, Mayor of San Diego and City Council Members are among the invited guests for this state visit along with representatives from Belize and the island nation of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Two hundred (200) jobs are estimated to be created in San Diego and it is expected that the dialog would include an economic development program between City of San Diego and State of Jharkhand, India.

GIOSTAR is a Global Private Funding (Global) incubated company. "Global is a private equity firm that focuses on funding projects and initiatives that are job-creation centric rather than just profit centric. We believe that a venture that draws the best minds and hearts to a unified goal, driven by a unified vision tends to be far stronger and less prone to failure than one driven by just profit. We invest in people, not the business," said Dr. Sam Senev, Chairman and CEO of Global. Senev added that GIOSTAR is a showcase client focused on both serving mankind through quality of life and job creation.

GIOSTAR, headquartered in San Diego, California (USA), was formed with the vision to provide stem cell based therapy to aid those suffering from degenerative or genetic diseases around the world. We are the leaders in developing innovative stem cell based technology.

The Chairman and Cofounder of GIOSTAR, Dr. Anand Srivastava and our team of scientists and clinicians have been associated with leading universities and research institutions throughout USA. GIOSTAR team has extensive research and clinical experience in the field of Stem cell, which is documented by several publications in revered scientific journals.

GIOSTAR in July 2011, inaugurated the world's first dedicated stem cell treatment hospital, a 125-bed, contemporary facility with the most advanced on-site stem cell laboratory. This hospital is fully operational. GIOSTAR is developing the world's largest, a three hundred thousand square-foot (300,000SF) state-of-the-art, Stem Cell Treatment Hospital in the Surat Civil Hospital Campus in collaboration with the government of Gujarat. Negotiations are ongoing with China, Philippines, Bahamas, Belize, Thailand, Ukraine and the Middle East to open regional stem cell treatment hospitals and satellite clinics throughout those countries and regions. "We are expanding the GIOSTAR footprint and is in negotiations to open locations near Austin Texas, Phoenix Arizona, and Savannah South Carolina" said Michael Andersen, Vice President of Venture Management at Global. Global and Empyrean West, EB-5 administrators, plan to invest over one hundred and eighty million ($180M) in economic development investments for GIOSTAR projects.

A Star Tale - from the Grimm Brother #39;s Fairy Tales - English told by Mario
The time has come for the SHIFT to enter in to humanity as a new STAREED. Divine economics is expressed in the uttermost refined way. Manifestation free of Ego ... Manifestation through Divine Intention ... Divine Presence ... Free of the Ego-desired "wish list" of people using spirituality in their survival program to create the illusion of " I want it all ..." While the deeper challenge is to realize ... all is right here and right now ... all the time...and our human desire pulls a shadow upon the clarity of our crystal eyes. The fine difference with its huge effect is the intention. Fairy Tales are soul food for our children, Activating the organs of Divine Intuition. Media today with all its images is stealing the inner images of our children. Divine presence and intervention creates images which are real and true through the heart connection and opened inner organs of our children. When will we realize that we will loose our children if we do not feed them with the food their souls need? Fairy Tales are food for our children to prepare them for their path on this planet into the light of inner joy as light beings growing up without any fear. What is important for us as parents? Fast food for our children like comics and McDonalds, or real food, organic, wholistic, and fairy tales for the preparation of a mankind where children finally are free of political and religious brainwashing?
