Online Pawn Shop PawnUp.com Gets Accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB)

Online pawn shop, PawnUp.com, has been recently accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in order to bring their customer support to an even higher level.

2013-05-07
MONTREAL, QC, May 07, 2013 (Press-News.org) Becoming a BBB-accredited business is another step PawnUp.com has made to further increase the popularity of their online pawn shop.

"Although the idea of getting cash for valuables online is not new, being a trustworthy cash provider is all that really matters. Despite the buzz that the online pawnshop industry has gotten during the last two years, some people are still reluctant to send their items for evaluation because they are not very familiar with pawning online" said Jay Martin, a spokesperson for PawnUp.com pawn shop online.

In order to get the most accurate evaluation, online pawnshop customers need to send their valuables to the evaluation specialists. PawnUp.com covers all shipping fees (valuables are shipped overnight via FedEx) and insures the items during the shipping, evaluation, and storage process. After the evaluation is completed by the team of specialists (which consists of certified specialists in different fields), the best cash offer is presented to a customer.

Online pawn shops have a great advantage over brick and mortar ones because their cash offers are usually higher, due to the online nature of the business. They simply don't have the overhead that typical "local pawn shops" have - therefore, their customers can get a better offer for their valuables.

"We fully understand that sometimes it is not easy for some people to make a decision to send their valuables for the evaluation. We've built a lot of trust with our customers since the early days of PawnUp.com and would like to bring it to even higher level now. Having been accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB), PawnUp.com online pawn store looks forward to becoming an even more trusted cash provider for its new customers. " Mr. Martin concluded.

Assembly of a protein degradation machine could lead to treatments in cancer, neurological diseases

2013-05-06
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State University scientists helped discover new details about an intricate process in cells. Their finding may advance treatments for cancer and neurological diseases. Kansas State University researchers Jeroen Roelofs, assistant professor, and Chingakham Ranjit Singh, research assistant professor -- both in the Division of Biology -- led part of the study.

Flu vaccine safe for children with IBD: Study

2013-05-06
TORONTO and OTTAWA, May 6, 2013 – Influenza immunization rates in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are low despite its safety according to a new study by researchers at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI), and the University of Ottawa. Yearly influenza immunization is recommended in patients with IBD, including sub-types of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, concern about vaccine-related adverse events may limit uptake. Given that ...

Minimally-invasive failed biological aortic valve replacement successful in high risk patients

2013-05-06
Minneapolis, MN, May 6, 2013 – When a biologic aortic valve prosthesis fails, the patient often faces a high risk valve replacement through repeat open heart surgery. A new technique, known as Valve-in-Valve, uses minimally invasive techniques to introduce a collapsible aortic heart valve into the damaged valve in order to restore function. This procedure avoids the need to open the chest or use cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine), according to Leo Ihlberg, MD, PhD, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Heart and Lung Center of Helsinki University Hospital, Finland, ...

Kidney disease in Canada: 12.5 percent of adults afflicted, yet many unaware

2013-05-06
An estimated 12.5% of Canadians in Canada have evidence of chronic kidney disease, including people without risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes, according to a study published in CMAJ. Chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for death, and it places a significant burden on the health care system; dialysis for 1 person alone over 1 year costs about $60 000. Estimates of kidney disease in Canada are based on extrapolations of the prevalence of end-stage renal disease. In this study, researchers looked at blood and urine samples from 3689 participants ...

Single, high-dose erythropoietin given 2 days pre-op reduces need for transfused blood

2013-05-06
Minneapolis, MN, May 6, 2013 – Anemia increases operative mortality and morbidity in non-cardiac and cardiac surgical procedures. Anemic surgical patients may require more blood transfusions, raising the risk of transfusion-related complications and increasing costs. For those reasons, optimizing patient readiness by correcting anemia prior to surgery is an important clinical goal. A simple new protocol has been proposed that helps correcting anemia using a single, high dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (HRE) administered only two days prior to surgery. The results ...

Managing fibromyalgia: A guide for physicians

2013-05-06
Fibromyalgia, now recognized as a true health syndrome with origins in the central nervous system, has seen many recent evolutions regarding its diagnosis and management which should instil new approaches, states a review article published in CMAJ. "The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but there is some evidence for a genetic predisposition, abnormalities in the stress response system or hypothalamic–pituitary axis, and possible triggering events," writes Dr. Mary-Ann Fitzcharles, Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) and McGill University, ...

Minimal dose CT superior to chest X-ray for detection of recurrent lung cancer

2013-05-06
Minneapolis, MN, May 6, 2013 – Lung cancer is associated with very high mortality, in part because it is hard to detect at early stages, but also because it can recur frequently after surgical removal. The question arises as to what is the best way to follow lung cancer patients after surgery in order to spot problems early enough, before symptoms become obvious, so that patients may still be eligible for new interventions. In this study presented at the 93rd AATS Annual Meeting, investigators from the University of Toronto departments of Thoracic Surgery and Diagnostic ...

Low-dose anticoagulation therapy used with new design mechanical heart valve lowers bleeding risk

2013-05-06
Minneapolis, MN, May 6, 2013 – For more than 40 years, patients under 65 years of age requiring heart valve replacement have had to choose between a mechanical valve that offers life-long durability but requires aggressive warfarin anticoagulation or a biological (cow or pig) valve that will wear out in 10-20 years but does not require anticoagulation. Aggressive warfarin anticoagulation is accompanied by significant annual risk of bleeding, while inadequate anticoagulation of a mechanical artificial valve has been associated with high risk of clotting problems that can ...

Activity of cancer inducing genes can be controlled by the cell's skeleton

2013-05-06
Cancer is a complex disease, in which cells undergo a series of alterations, including changes in their architecture; an increase in their ability to divide, to survive and to invade new tissues or metastasis. A category of genes, called oncogenes, is critical during cancer progression, as they codify proteins whose activity favours the development of cancer. One of these molecules, Src, is implicated in a large number of human cancers. However, it is still not clear how healthy cells constrain its activity not to become tumorous. In the latest issue of the journal Oncogene*, ...
