BETHEL, CT, December 17, 2010 (Press-News.org) Best Rug Pads has recently added Rug-Chek, an all-natural rubber rug pad, to its product line of rug pads. Rug-Chek is one of the rare 100% rubber rug pads and is safe for all rugs and all floors. Best Rug Pads is offering Rug-Chek in all standard and custom sizes and shapes for all rugs on all types of hard floors.
"We are extremely happy to offer such a quality non-slip rug pad," states Sam of Best Rug Pads. "While there are many imitations available, Rug-Chek is one of the very few that are actually 100% rubber." Unlike the other open weave rug pads that are quite thin and made of either a coated plastic or nylon, Rug-Chek is all natural and will not cause damage to the floor. The chemical adhesive on those other lookalike non-slip rug pads is what damages floors.
Rug-Chek is made in the USA and is about 1/8 of an inch thick. It consists of an open weave construction to allow for ventilation. Rug-Chek is meant to prevent rugs from slipping on any type of hard floor surface. Rated as one of the best non-slip rubber rug pads, Rug-Chek also adds a full 1/8 of an inch comfort under a rug to provide more support than the thinner counterparts. One of the reasons a customer would use Rug-Chek instead of a felt and rubber rug pad is thickness. While Rug-Chek does add comfort, it is not as thick as felt rug pads.
"We have many requests for a thinner non slip rug pad and we know that the best is an all natural rubber," continues Sam. "While a real rubber non slip rug pad is not as available as the plastic or nylon ones, we are happy to now have full stock available in all sizes for any customer rug sizes." One of the main reasons Rug-Chek is not available in most stores is due to the fact that this natural rubber rug pad is available to stores only in rolls. Most stores only want to stock non slip rug pads that are already cut and packaged, which is how most plastic or nylon rug pads are made are offered. Best Rug Pads cuts all orders as they arrive and the company is proud to offer fresh cuts of the rubber rug pad for each order. There is never a rug pad already cut and packaged.
Non slip rug pads are perhaps the most common rug pads available. Over the years, the lower quality waffle looking rug pads have been thought of as rubber rug pads. The reality is that most of those rug pads are a rubber like substance such as plastic or nylon. The material is then sprayed with a chemical adhesive to give it a non slip effect. This spray is what causes damage to many floors as well as out gassing. Since Rug-Chek is an all natural rubber rug pad, there is no risk of damage to the floor or out gassing to the air. Real rubber rug pads are the best non slip rug pads yet are more rare than others due to cost.
Best Rug Pads offers Rug-Chek rubber rug pad in all standard sizes. The company now also offers the rug pad in round, square and runner rug pads. "We believe that if someone wants this open weave, thinner rug pad, that we should have a rubber rug pad for any size and shape rug", states Sam. "That is why we will even custom cut one for no extra custom fee."
Best Rug Pads offers quality rug pads for area rugs and floors.

New combo lung cancer therapy improves survival over single-line treatment
2010-12-16
AURORA, Colo. (Dec. 14, 2010) – A combination therapy for treating cancer discovered at the University of Colorado Cancer Center showed improved survival rates in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to results from a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial run by Syndax Pharmaceuticals.
The phase 2 results show that the combination of entinostat (Syndax's SNDX-275) and erlotinib was more effective in treating NSCLC in patients with elevated levels of the molecular cancer marker E-cadherin than using erlotinib alone. University ...
Compound derived from curry spice is neuroprotective against stroke and traumatic brain injury
2010-12-16
LA JOLLA, CA--A synthetic derivative of the curry spice turmeric, made by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, dramatically improves the behavioral and molecular deficits seen in animal models of ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Two new studies suggest that the novel compound may have clinical promise for these conditions, which currently lack good therapies.
Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death of older people in the United States, while TBI is the leading cause of death and disability ...
Second brain death exam may be unnecessary, hurt organ donation rates
2010-12-16
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Requiring a second exam on a person who is considered brain dead may be unnecessary, according to a study on the impact of a second brain death exam on organ donation rates. The research is published in the December 15, 2010, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
For the study, scientists reviewed the cases of 1,229 adults and 82 children ages one and older pronounced brain dead. The information was taken from the New York Organ Donor Network database during a 19-month period.

Scientists decode secrets of a very common virus that can cause cancer
2010-12-16
DURHAM, N.C. – About 90 percent of people are infected at some time in their lives with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), usually with no ill effects. But individuals with compromised immune systems, such as people with organ transplants or HIV infection, have a greater risk of cancer occurring because of this virus.
Scientists at the Duke Cancer Institute have discovered a pathway that infected cells use to root out EBV infections, a finding that has implications for understanding the human response to cancer-causing viruses in general.
"Using cell culture studies, we have ...
Polar bears still on thin ice, but cutting greenhouse gases now can avert extinction
2010-12-16
Polar bears were added to the threatened species list nearly three years ago as their icy habitat showed steady, precipitous decline because of a warming climate. But it appears the Arctic icons aren't necessarily doomed after all.
Scientists from several institutions, including the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Washington, have found that if humans reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly in the next decade or two, enough Arctic ice is likely to remain intact during late summer and early autumn for polar bears to survive.
"What we projected in ...
deCODE discovers genetic markers that improve the power of PSA testing for detecting prostate cancer
2010-12-16
Reykjavik, ICELAND, 15 December 2010 – Scientists from deCODE genetics and academic colleagues from Iceland, the UK, US, Netherlands, Spain and Romania today report the discovery of a set of single-letter variations in the sequence of the human genome (SNPs) that impact individual baseline levels of prostate specific antigen, or PSA. Testing for PSA levels is the most commonly used screening tool for the detection of prostate cancer. A prostate biopsy is routinely recommended for men with PSA above a certain threshold. However, PSA levels can rise for reasons unrelated ...
Heart disease, stroke deaths continue to fall but costs remain high
2010-12-16
America is winning a battle against heart disease and stroke mortality, but is still losing the war, according to the American Heart Association.
In Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics – 2011, published online in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, the association reports that the death rate from heart diseases declined 27.8 percent from 1997 to 2007 (the most recent final data available), and the stroke death rate fell 44.8 percent.
However, during the same period, the total number of inpatient cardiovascular operations and procedures increased ...
Body fat distribution associated with a higher risk of ER-negative breast cancer
2010-12-16
Body fat distribution does not play an important role in the incidence of every subtype of premenopausal breast cancer, but is associated with an increased risk for estrogen receptor (ER)–negative breast cancer, according to a study published December 15 in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Previous studies have shown that the association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of breast cancer varies with menopausal status: a higher BMI is positively associated with risk of postmenopausal breast cancer but inversely associated with risk of premenopausal ...
Blood-sucking superbug prefers taste of humans
2010-12-16
"Staph" bacteria feed on blood. They need the iron that's hidden away inside red blood cells to grow and cause infections. It turns out that these microbial vampires prefer the taste of human blood, Vanderbilt University scientists have discovered.
The researchers report in the Dec. 16 issue of Cell Host & Microbe that Staphylococcus aureus (staph) favors human hemoglobin – the oxygen-carrying protein that contains iron – over hemoglobin from other animals. The findings help explain why staph preferentially infects people and suggest that genetic variations in hemoglobin ...
Stanford study identifies multitude of genetic regions key to embryonic stem cell development
2010-12-16
STANFORD, Calif. — More than 2,000 genetic regions involved in early human development have been identified by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The regions, called enhancers, are responsible for triggering the expression of distant genes when embryonic stem cells begin to divide to form the many tissues of a growing embryo.
"This is going to be an enormous resource for researchers interested in tracking cells involved in early human development," said Joanna Wysocka, PhD, assistant professor of developmental biology and of chemical and systems ...
