Nasal Stem Cells Present Promise in Repairing Spinal Cord Damage Brought on by Contusion

Louisville, Kentucky (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

An important new study released by a team of scientists at RhinoCyte Inc., Louisville, Ky., details promising results on the effectiveness of olfactory (nasal) stem cells in repairing spinal cord damage resulting from the most common cause of these injuries contusions (bruising) due to major trauma. Their study is featured in the current issue of the Journal of Neurodegeneration and Regeneration.

The study, led by Dr. Fred Roisen, has great implication for the estimated 5 million people worldwide affected by spinal cord injuries 1.275 million of them in the United States alone, where the cost of treatment exceeds $ 40.5 billion each year. Current treatment options are limited to retaining and retraining mobility; no drug therapies are available, but studies pertaining to stem cell treatments are showing great promise for these as well as other neurodegenerative conditions.

A previous study by the group made national headlines when lab rats whose spinal cords had been partially cut in the region of the animals neck in a way that disabled their front right paws were able to regain significant use of their paws after being injected with olfactory stem cells. The investigative team took the cells from the olfactory neurosensory epithelium the part of the nose that controls the sense of smell in adult volunteer donors who were already undergoing elective sinus surgery. The removal of the stem cells has no effect on the patients ability to smell. Also, the minimally invasive surgery is frequently done on an outpatient basis so the cells are readily available and, as such, are a potentially promising source of therapeutic stem cells.

The researchers isolated the stem cells and increased their numbers in the laboratory by growing them in an enriched solution. The cells were then injected into a group of lab rats. Twelve weeks later, these animals had regained control of their affected paws while a control group that received no cells had not.

This latest study continued that original work, by concentrating on contusions caused by blunt force trauma such as that resulting from an automobile accident or a fall. Spinal cord and head trauma are common among soldiers suffering serious combat injuries, too.

Two independent sets of experiments were conducted, beginning two weeks after the rats had received contusions administered in a computer-controlled surgery. In the first group, 27 out of 41 rats were injected with olfactory stem cells, while the remainder received none. In the second group, 16 rats were treated with olfactory stem cells, 11 received no treatment and 10 received stem cells grown from human skin to see how the olfactory cells compared with another stem cell source.

The results once again showed great promise, with 40 percent of the rats treated with the olfactory-derived stem cells showing significant improvement after just six weeks, compared to 30 percent of those treated with human skin-derived cells and only 9 percent of those receiving no treatment. In addition, the olfactory stem cell-treated rats showing the highest rate of improvement recovered much faster than the other groups.

This is very exciting on numerous levels, said Dr. Roisen. As an autologous cell source that is, the patient is both the donor and the recipient olfactory stem cells bypass the time a patient must wait while a suitable donor is found, which can be critical to the outcome of the patients treatment. They also eliminate the need for immunosuppressive drugs, which have numerous negative side effects.

And just as importantly, stem cells taken from the nose of an adult do away with the ethical concerns associated with using embryonic stem cells.

The researchers are in the final stages of their enabling studies, which are scheduled to be completed by summer; Phase 1 safety studies could begin as soon as early next year.

Dr. Roisen is chief science officer and co-founder of RhinoCtye, and a professor and chair of the University of Louisville School of Medicines Department of Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology. The original work forming the basis for the contusion study was conducted by Dr. Roisens group at UofL and has been licensed to RhinoCtye (http://www.rhinocyte.com), a company he co-founded in 2005 with Dr. Chengliang Lu and Dr. Kathleen Klueber to develop and commercialize diagnostic tools and therapies for stem cell treatment of multiple degenerative and traumatic neurological diseases. RhinoCyte currently has three patents for olfactory stem cell treatments approved in the United States, Australia and Israel, with others pending worldwide.

Kitchen Developments for 2012: Outdated Planet out, Simplicity in, claims FaceYourKitchen.com

Foster City, Calif. (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

FaceYourKitchen.com, a website dedicated to kitchen remodeling and cabinet refacing, released a new article today, which features the newest kitchen trends for the upcoming year. Kitchens are where family and friends come to cook, eat and socialize and 2012 Kitchen Design Trends, offers expert predictions on where kitchen design is headed and which materials will continue to be in vogue.

Home design experts predict that 2012 is going to be an exciting year for kitchen design because homeowners want more creativity in their homes and are becoming more thoughtful in their decision-making. To begin a kitchen overhaul, homeowners shouldnt be afraid to dispose of anything from the last two decades, especially Old World kitchen styles with heavy molding. Instead, FaceYourKitchen.com suggests that homeowners embrace new materials, like countertops made out of quartz, glass and wood, which can vary in style, shape and color.

Its interesting to see just how much kitchen styles have evolved over the years, said Patricia Davis Brown, award-winning designer and FaceYourKitchen.com contributor. As we move into 2012, the overall trend is to keep it simple, energy-efficient, and comfort-oriented. De-clutter, go natural, lighten up and make it work for you and your household.

“Green design” will also become a standard request this year. Designers recommend homeowners choose to use energy efficient items like compact fluorescent bulbs because they use two-thirds less energy than those who do not. For those who do decide to go green FaceYourKitchen.com suggests working with a professional lighting designer, who can help introduce modern technology fixtures and more energy saving items.

When it is time to revamp the kitchen work space, FaceYourKitchen.com has everything needed to guide homeowners during the process from design ideas, cabinet styles and colors, countertops and contractors to hire, said Brown.

Lofings Lighting Can Guide Buyers via New Lighting Rules and Better, Far more Effective and Reasonably priced Lights Possibilities


Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) December 27, 2011

Californians have no need to overreact if they are fans of the original incandescent light bulbs for their nightly reading. According to the lighting experts at Lofings Lighting, a retail lighting institution in Sacramento for 50 years, there are many different options for alternatives to the 100-watt and 75-watt incandescent bulb. Not only are different lighting options that give off more light with less wattage, but there still is an inexpensive 95 watt incandescent version.

California has always been a pioneer in energy efficiency. California is actually one year ahead of the Federal regulations for lighting regulations geared toward reducing energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. The 100-watt bulbs will no longer be able to be manufactured for the U.S. beginning in January 2012, but they stopped being shipped to California in January 2011. 2012 brings new regulations on the 75-watt bulb as well which will no longer be shipped to California as of January 2012. The Federal regulations on manufacturing of the 75 watt bulb wont kick in until January 2013.

We are creatures of habit and Americans have become unnecessarily alarmed about the new lighting regulations, concerned because of the bad fluorescent options that have been marketed to consumers in the past. There are many higher quality options that are reasonably priced to replace the traditional incandescent bulb. The new regulations require increased efficiency of these bulbs. The lighting industry is reinventing the incandescent bulb to meet these requirements. There are halogen bulbs which look like the standard pear shaped A-19 bulb, and produce the same quality of light. A 72 watt halogen bulb will produce 1490 lumens, the same amount and quality of light as the standard 100 watt incandescent with a 28% energy savings. A new 95 watt incandescent bulb from GE can produce 1635 lumens versus 1490 lumens from a traditional incandescent bulb.

General Service bulbs are affected by these increased efficiencies regulations that are being mandated. For the average consumer, they are the 100 watt, 75 watt, 60 watt, and 40 watt medium base A-19 (pear shaped) bulbs. Specialty type bulbs like 3-way, decorative flame tipped bulbs and many more are exempt from these requirements.

Compact Fluorescents (CFLs) are still an alternative to incandescent. The quality of CFLs has greatly improved in recent years. If you are concerned about finding an alternative similar to a traditional incandescent, look for lower Kelvin temperatures in the 2,700 to 3,000 range for warmer light which is closer to old-fashioned incandescent bulbs, explains Wendy Lofing-Rossotti of Lofings Lighting.

The most energy-efficient, high quality bulbs available currently are the new generation of LEDs, explains Wendy Lofing-Rossotti of Lofings Lighting. Manufacturers are taking the LED trend seriously and have started to design fixtures around the use of LED technology and maximize its lighting ability.

The new generation of LEDs are the most energy efficient form of lighting currently available. LEDs have quick start up, good color quality, are dimmable, and produce significantly less heat. These are some of the reasons why customer satisfaction has been so high with LED lighting products. There is a big difference between consumers acceptance of LEDs versus CFLs in the past. These new alternatives which have not been available until recently soften the blow of consumer reaction to mandated energy conservation. The use of LEDs in lighting is a great advancement for the industry and these new LED replacement bulbs are just one facet of how LEDs will be used in the future.

The goal at Lofings Lighting is to take care of the customer by providing quality lighting products and superior service. The family and their employees pride themselves on product knowledge and customer service which is the key to their 50 years of success.

Tampa’s Innovative Seo Training Academy Celebrates 5 Several years of Educating Scholars in the Methods of Internet Advertising and marketing and #Search engine optimization


Tampa, FL (PRWEB) January 02, 2012

In celebration of their fifth year anniversary teaching students the secrets to top Search Engine rankings, The Tampa SEO Training Academy is pleased to announce a special 25% off anniversary offer on each of their SEO training courses for January.

While SEO techniques have evolved and changed over time, what hasn’t changed over the last five years is the Tampa SEO Training Academy’s commitment to helping others grow their businesses, expand their careers and make more money.

Steven Scott, CEO & Director of Training at The Tampa SEO Training Academy, a Licensed Associate Member of the Search Engine Academy, has been in the internet marketing business for over fifteen years. Since launching the Tampa SEO Training Academy in January of 2007, Scott has trained hundreds of students from all over the world in the best-practices (often called “white-hat techniques”) needed to achieve top rankings in the search engines.

“Sharing my knowledge of the Search Engines with my students these last five years has been a wonderful experience. It’s extremely rewarding seeing those ‘ah-ha’ moments students have in class when things just seem to click and their eyes widen,” remarked Scott. “You can practically see light bulbs go off over their heads. It’s even more inspiring when an excited past student calls to boast that their online sales have doubled as a result of what they learned sitting in my classroom. That really makes it all worthwhile.”

Scott’s Tampa SEO Training Academy offers participants a “2-Day Basic Essentials” course, a “3-Day Advanced Techniques” course and a “5-Day SEO Mastery” course. Courses are designed for anyone interested in understanding the tools and techniques required to get top search rankings – from business owners and entrepreneurs, to sales and marketing managers, to web designers and SEO professionals.

Scott insists that participants do not have to be web developers or programmers to understand and implement the course material. “When you get right down to it, these are marketing courses,” said Scott. “If you happen to know HTML or are a web developer, you’ll certainly take away ideas from a different perspective. However, anyone interested in marketing their business on the web will return to work filled with the know-how needed to get the job done.”

Each SEO Training class is capped at just 10 attendees to ensure students get the individual instruction and hands-on attention necessary to leave class with actionable next steps for improving their website. “For some students, the week they spend with me can be a life altering event,” Scott said. “Many participants head home at the end of class filled with new found enthusiasm, energy and great ideas that they can’t wait to get started on,” noted Scott.

Participants may also opt to obtain their SEO Certification. If they achieve a passing grade on the subsequent test, students are awarded a Certification of Skills in SEO and may display the awarded Search Engine Academy SEO Certification Seal anywhere they choose. Attendee’s may also elect to earn Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) for the training. In addition, every participant receives six months of ongoing mentoring from the Tampa SEO Training Academy. The availability of CEUs and the six-month mentoring programs are perks offered by no other SEO training program in the US.

For more information on class dates and pricing or to register for any of their scheduled SEO Training courses in 2012, visit the Tampa SEO Training Academy’s Registration page.
