22nd World Travel Monitor Forum in Pisa: Private consumers still a reliable economic support

ifo Institute: no risk of another global recession however, economic recovery is taking longer than expected

Contrary to the sceptical forecasts for the global economy in 2015, Germany's travel industry will still be able to rely on private consumers next year. "We see no danger of people saving money 'due to anxiety' or even of a recession", said Dr. Gernot Nerb, an economic expert at the Munich-based ifo Institute for Economic Research. Speaking in Pisa last Tuesday at the start of the 22nd World Travel Monitor Forum Gernot Nerb said: "Next year, wages and salaries will rise more rapidly than in 2014 and will give consumer confidence an even stronger boost than in previous years. Furthermore, the introduction of a nationwide minimum wage will have a positive effect on income trends and thus indirectly on the travel industry too."

According to Gernot Nerb, "Overall, in 2015 private disposable income is likely to increase by 2.8 per cent". Everything pointed to a continuing economic recovery, he said, even if it was taking longer than was expected a few months ago. By contrast, the economies of France and Italy were lagging behind considerably. In spite of this, Europe as a whole could expect 0.8 per cent growth this year and 1.1 per cent growth in 2015, with its unemployment figures falling only slightly from 11.6 to 11.3 per cent over the same period. According to Gernot Nerb, "These developments are extremely bad for consumer confidence in the countries in question and will also have a negative impact on the travel industry in these EU countries."

"Due to the continuing and increasingly strong recovery of the US economy and, at around seven per cent, China's economy showing consistently stable growth, we see no danger of another global recession", Nerb added. On the contrary, it was likely that Europe's economic recovery would now be gathering pace.

According to Gernot Nerb there was no reason for Germany as a travel destination to mistrust the current growth trend. "There is no indication that people intend to limit their holiday spending in Germany", the ifo Institute's economic expert said.

The Miracle of Stem Cell Therapy at Adler Footcare Regenerates Cells, Heals Foot Pain

New York, New York (PRWEB) October 29, 2014

Stem cell therapy is the future of foot pain treatment. New York podiatrists at Adler Footcare are using ethical stem cell treatments for foot problems to help speed healing, minimize pain, and reduce swelling.

Stem cells are cells that havent quite yet determined their role in the body. This gives them the ability to turn into anything. The treatment is being used for problems causing foot pain, such as Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis of the first toe joint. Stem cells help regenerate new cartilage and helps tissue heal much quicker.

"Stem cells turn into everything," said Dr. Jeffrey Adler, Medical/Surgical Director & Owner of Adler Footcare. "So basically, if the damage is due to cartilage, they turn into cartilage. If the damage is due to soft tissue, they turn into soft tissue. Its the Swiss army knife of treatments."

The stem cells are not live embryos, but instead are generated from the placenta and ethically obtained during the C-sections of live births. The women who the cells are taken from are screened and tested for any communicable diseases beforehand.

Stem cell therapy uses a minimally invasive technique to inject the cells directly into the area where the patient is feeling the foot pain. Fluoroscopy is used to determine the exact position for injection. When stem cell therapy is used healing occurs twice as fast. As the tissues are regenerated and the swelling is minimized, the patient is able to experience more range of motion, less post-operative pain, and less inflammation.

The New York podiatrists at Adler Footcare have been using stem cell therapy for 2 years. They continue to stay up-to-date on the process and have seen only positive results.

To learn more about stem cell treatment for foot pain, contact a New York podiatrist at Adler Footcare.

My Pet World: Stem cell treatments show promise for some feline health issues

Q: You recently wrote about stem cell research, and I understand that stem cell therapy is being used to treat inflammatory bowel disease in cats. Do you have more details?

A: The Winn Feline Foundation has funded the research of Dr. Craig Webb and Dr. Tracy Webb of Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine to study the use of stem cells to treat inflammatory bowel disease in cats. Early results are promising.

Stem cell research in cats doesn't stop there. Dr. Glenn Olah, president of the Winn Feline Foundation, notes that Winn also funded stem cell studies to treat feline asthma and kidney disease. Results are hopeful, but it's simply too early to offer definitive answers.

"In some ways, stem cell studies in pets are ahead of (those in) people."

Q: About a month ago, I adopted a beautiful Burmese after she romanced me at the shelter. Once we got home, she wanted nothing to do with me. It's not that she isn't friendly. She loves my son and even sleeps with him. When I get up early to feed her, she stays away until I've left the room. My son suggested that the cat harbors resentment toward me because I took her from her cat friends. What can do to improve the situation?

A: "The good news is that it's very unlikely the cat harbors any resentment," said Winn Feline board member and feline veterinarian Dr. Drew Weigner, of Atlanta. "The bad news for you -- but good news for the cat and your son -- is that they developed a fast friendship.

Here are tips that might help the cat warm up to you:

Sit on the floor in an empty room with her. Close the door, but provide an empty box or two for the cat to hop into. Then, simply watch TV, or read a children's story out loud. Cats sometimes like that soft sing-song voice we tend to use when reading children's stories.

Wait until the cat comes to you. It may take several days, but eventually curiosity will out.

Next, take over feeding the cat, even if she waits for you to leave the room to eat.

San Diego Stem Cell Clinic, Telehealth, Now Offering Knee Procedures for Cartilage Restoration

San Diego, California (PRWEB) October 28, 2014

The top stem cell clinic in San Diego, Telehealth, is now offering regenerative medicine procedures for the knee to help restore cartilage and avoid the need for joint replacement. The procedures are outpatient and performed by Board Certified doctors at Telehealth. Call (888) 828-4575 for more information and scheduling.

Hundreds of thousands of knee replacements are performed every year in the US, with most being extremely successful. However, it is a major surgery and there is a chance of complications such as infection or blood clot. Therefore, it is advisable to consider a stem cell procedure for the arthritic knee in an effort to delay or avoid the procedure.

Telehealth provides the procedures with several options, including platelet rich plasma therapy, bone marrow or fat derived stem cells, along with amniotic derived procedures. All of the procedures are outpatient and low risk.

In most cases, the procedures are covered in whole or partly by insurance. Telehealth will perform an insurance verification prior to one's procedure. The Board Certified doctors at the stem cell clinic in San Diego treat patients from a broad area in Southern California. There are several locations including La Jolla, Orange and Upland CA.

In addition to stem cell procedures for knee arthritis, TeleHealth also provides regenerative medicine options for tendon and ligament injuries, sports injuries along with hip, shoulder and ankle arthritis.

For those interested in avoiding knee replacement with a procedure that can potentially preserve or repair arthritic cartilage, call Telehealth at (888) 828-4575 and visit http://stemcelltherapyincalifornia.com/ for more information.
