LAKE CITY, FL, June 16, 2013 (Press-News.org) As the #1 distributor of portable oxygen concentrators in the world, 1st Class Medical Inc., shows no signs of slowing down. After expanding their office and warehouse last year, once again, 1st Class Medical, is upgrading their facilities. The expansion of 1st Class Medical can be attributed to a number of different things. Their patient loyalty is easily number one on the list. One of the owners, Caleb Umstead, said, "We make our patients our first priority and it shows. We have been receiving more and more referrals coming from previous patients, and that can only be from word of mouth." Aside from their patient loyalty, 1st Class Medical, has expanded some of their services in the past year.
1st Class Medical prides itself on customer service. The expansions to their business are clearly customer service oriented. Instead of just selling and renting portable and home oxygen concentrators, 1st Class Medical, has incorporated a financing department, a trade-in program, and a buyback program as they continue to serve their large patient base. Gary Nelson, General Manager of 1st Class Medical, is particularly excited about the buyback and trade-in programs saying, "These programs give us the ability to provide more patients with affordable oxygen. We have patients calling in to upgrade their older unit. They get a credit towards the purchase of a new unit and we get their old concentrator to service and sell as a used concentrator." Of all the services 1st Class Medical is offering now, it's the financing department that really stands out. Most patients will be paying for their concentrator out of their own pocket. It can be hard for patients to come up with that kind of money on the spot. The financing department gives patients the opportunity to get an oxygen concentrator at a fixed monthly rate as low as $69.00 a month. There is no lengthy paperwork or process to go through. Simply put, it's a no obligation and instant approval application.
Due to 1st Class Medical's continual growth, they have had to expand their operations once again. 1st Class Medical has doubled their office and warehouse space to accommodate the ever increasing demand for the technological transition to oxygen concentrators, from the more primitive and less convenient form of oxygen delivery through oxygen tanks. Along with their expansions, they have added to both their customer service and tech support departments to meet their unmatched customer service in the Oxygen Industry. Vice President, Cory Luckner issued this statement, "Our patients and their oxygen needs will always come first. We will do everything we can to ensure our daily operations are not affected by this move. That means we will continue to ship out our daily orders as well as service any concentrator that needs it throughout the move. We will not sacrifice our high standards of service for any reason!" 1st Class Medical will continue their mission to provide oxygen patients with the highest quality of service at the lowest price. It is apparent that they are determined to be the benchmark for the entire Oxygen Industry.
1st Class Medical is a leader in home and portable oxygen concentrators. For further information, please contact us at 1-800-520-5726

Nicaragua Remains One of the Safest Countries in Latin America!
2013-06-16
Nicaragua was ranked as the seventh safest country in Latin America and is one of the countries that significantly improved its position in the western hemisphere in the 2013 Global Peace Index (GPI).
GPI evaluates over 162 countries, and includes indicators such as the levels of military expenditure, its relations with neighboring countries, number of homicides, level of organized conflict and the level of respect for human rights.
Among the Central American countries, Nicaragua is number two after Costa Rica, in the 66 position, while Guatemala is number 109, El ...
Stress test and brain scans pinpoint 2 distinct forms of Gulf War illness
2013-06-15
WASHINGTON — Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center say their new work suggests that Gulf War illness may have two distinct forms depending on which brain regions have atrophied. Their study of Gulf War veterans, published online today in PLOS ONE, may help explain why clinicians have consistently encountered veterans with different symptoms and complaints.
Using brain imaging that was acquired before and after exercise tests, the researchers studied the effects of physical stress on the veterans and controls. Following exercise, subgroups were evident. In ...
Penn Researchers design variant of main painkiller receptor
2013-06-15
Opioids, such as morphine, are still the most effective class of painkillers, but they come with unwanted side effects and can also be addictive and deadly at high doses. Designing new pain-killing drugs of this type involves testing them on their corresponding receptors, but access to meaningful quantities of these receptors that can work in experimental conditions has always been a limiting factor.
Now, an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has developed a variant of the mu opioid receptor that has several advantages ...
Medications to prevent clots not reaching some patients
2013-06-15
Researchers at Johns Hopkins report that hospitalized patients do not receive more than one in 10 doses of doctor-ordered blood thinners prescribed to prevent potentially lethal or disabling blood clots, a decision they say may be fueled by misguided concern by patients and their caregivers.
Calling the rate of missed doses "unacceptably high," the researchers add that hospitalized patients are at a significantly greater risk of developing venous thromboembolism, or VTE, and that preventive blood thinners can prevent it a majority of the time.
"There appeared to be ...
Does including parasites upset food web theory? Yes and no, says new paper
2013-06-15
Parasites comprise a large proportion of the diversity of species in every ecosystem. Despite this, they are rarely included in analyses or models of food webs. If parasites play different roles from other predators and prey, however, their inclusion could fundamentally alter our understanding of how food webs are organized.
In the journal PLOS Biology this week, Santa Fe Institute Professor Jennifer Dunne and collaborators test this assertion and show that including parasites in ecological datasets does alter the structure of food webs, but that most changes occur because ...
Memory-boosting chemical is identified in mice
2013-06-15
Memory improved in mice injected with a small, drug-like molecule discovered by UCSF San Francisco researchers studying how cells respond to biological stress.
The same biochemical pathway the molecule acts on might one day be targeted in humans to improve memory, according to the senior author of the study, Peter Walter, PhD, UCSF professor of biochemistry and biophysics and a Howard Hughes Investigator.
The discovery of the molecule and the results of the subsequent memory tests in mice were published in eLife, an online scientific open-access journal, on May 28, ...
Study: Blacks, Hispanics say Zimmerman arrested earlier if victim White
2013-06-15
Blacks and Hispanics are more likely than whites to believe that George Zimmerman would have been arrested immediately had he shot a white person, according to a newly published study.
Blacks are more likely than both Hispanics and whites to believe race was a factor in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a black teenager. And blacks also are more likely than whites to follow the court case closely. Hispanics are less likely than all groups to follow the case closely.
These are among the conclusions found in the study published in the Journal of Crime and Justice just ...
Sugar overload can damage heart according to UTHealth research
2013-06-15
HOUSTON – (June 14, 2013) – Too much sugar can set people down a pathway to heart failure, according to a study led by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).
A single small molecule, the glucose metabolite glucose 6-phosphate (G6P), causes stress to the heart that changes the muscle proteins and induces poor pump function leading to heart failure, according to the study, which was published in the May 21 issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association. G6P can accumulate from eating too much starch and/or sugar.

Why are there so many youth baseball-throwing injuries?
2013-06-15
After three years of research, a multicenter, national research study led by Beaumont orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, Joseph Guettler, M.D., may have some answers as to why youth baseball pitching injuries continue to rise despite the implementation of nationally recommended pitching limits. In fact, serious pitching injuries requiring surgery have skyrocketed with one estimate reporting serious throwing injuries are occurring 16 times more often today than just 30 years ago.
"Our research team and colleagues from around the country, saw several recurring ...
E-commerce's future is in creating 'swift guanxi,' or personal and social rapport
2013-06-15
Despite the reputation of online marketplaces being distant and impersonal, through social technologies such as instant messaging, they can create the sense of personal and social relationships between buyers and sellers, termed "swift guanxi" in China, to facilitate loyalty, interactivity and repeat transactions, according to new research by Temple University Fox School of Business Professor Paul A. Pavlou.
Three researchers – in addition to Pavlou, Tilburg University's Carol Xiaojuan Ou and Robert M. Davison of the City University of Hong Kong – studied data from TaoBao, ...
