ENGLEWOOD, CO, December 24, 2010 (Press-News.org) 1st Class Medical opened the doors to their new showroom in Englewood, Colorado, and it has been busier than ever.
1st Class Medical is an oxygen concentrator division of North Florida Medical a respiratory company in business for over 30 years. Not only do they have brick and mortar pharmacies and service centers but they have become one of the largest online respiratory companies servicing the United States. The new facility has a full showroom with every home and portable oxygen concentrator on the market today. The new showroom is also home for one of the lightest, FAA approved portable oxygen units, the LifeChoice oxygen concentrator made by Inova Labs. LifeChoice is one of the most popular units not just because of size but they have the exclusive sleep mode technology. 1st Class contributes a lot of walk-in traffic to this new unit.
The new facility is set up for COPD, Alpha1, and other pulmonary groups to have support and other meetings at no cost to the association. One of the owners Cory Luckner states "Our location is not just about oxygen concentrators, but more important its about educating the public and that is why we make our facility available to these groups for free."
The company is so confident in its growth it already has plans of expansion into new markets. They believe their success comes from the customer service. Cory states, "We are one of the few companies that has a FREE loaner program for patients that may need to travel while their portable oxygen machine is in for repairs. We see other companies say Free but reading the fine print you find out there is still a charge for shipping, which is not cheap. Its not cheap for us to do but it is worth all the referral business we receive."
1st Class Medical carries every portable and home oxygen concentrator made by manufacturers such as, LifeChoice, Respironics, SeQual, Inogen, DeVilbiss, Invacare, and many more. Their showroom is open 5 days a week and available for private showings.

Boy or girl? Australians think we shouldn't choose
2010-12-23
Most Australians do not approve of IVF or abortion for sex-selection purposes, and most do not think a hypothetical blue or pink pill to select the sex of a child should be legal, a new study has found.
The study, led by Dr Rebecca Kippen from the School of Population Health at the University of Melbourne, analysed responses from more than 2,500 people participating in the Australian Survey of Social Attitudes, combined with a series of in-depth parental interviews.
The survey found that 69 per cent of respondents disapproved the use of IVF for sex selection, with ...
Cornstarch might have ended the Gulf spill agony sooner
2010-12-23
On May 25th, 2010, the online arm of Upstream, a newspaper for the international oil and gas industry, reported that British Petroleum had started top-kill procedures on the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico.
"The company said that the operation, which will pump heavy mud down the wellbore in an attempt to gain control of the oil flow and ultimately kill the well, began at 1 pm CST," Upstream reported.
The article continued: "Earlier BP Chief Tony Hayward gave the top-kill procedure a 60 percent to 70 percent chance of success."

Eating less healthy fish may contribute to America's stroke belt
2010-12-23
ST. PAUL, Minn. –People living in the "stroke belt" states eat more fried fish than people living in the rest of the country, which may contribute to the high rate of death from stroke in those states, according to a study published in the December 22, 2010, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish, especially fatty fish, may reduce the risk of stroke. Research has shown that frying fish leads to the loss of the natural fatty acids.
The study also found that African-Americans ...
Most common adult brain cancer linked to gene deletion, Stanford doctors say
2010-12-23
STANFORD, Calif. — A study fast-tracked for online publication Dec. 22 in the New England Journal of Medicine has identified an important gene deletion in up to one of every four cases of glioblastoma, the most common adult brain cancer. This deletion contributes to tumor development, promotes resistance to therapy and considerably worsens a patient's survival prospects.
The deletion of the gene, known as NFKBIA, triggers biochemical processes similar to those resulting from a better-known aberration common in glioblastomas: alteration of the epidermal growth factor receptor, ...
Tau disrupts neural communication prior to neurodegeneration
2010-12-23
A new study is unraveling the earliest events associated with neurodegenerative diseases characterized by abnormal accumulation of tau protein. The research, published by Cell Press in the December 22 issue of the journal Neuron, reveals how tau disrupts neuronal communication at synapses and may help to guide development of therapeutic strategies that precede irreversible neuronal degeneration.
Tau normally contributes to the supportive framework of proteins in the cell. It is well established that abnormal tau sometimes clumps into neuron-damaging filamentous deposits ...
Arsenic agent shuts down 2 hard-to-treat cancers in animal experiments
2010-12-23
Washington, DC – Researchers at the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, a part of Georgetown University Medical Center, have found that an arsenic-based agent already FDA-approved for a type of leukemia may be helpful in another hard-to-treat cancer, Ewing's Sarcoma (ES). The research, based on animal studies, also suggests the drug might be beneficial in treating medulloblastoma, a highly malignant pediatric brain cancer.
In the December 22 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the investigators describe how years of research has uncovered a common ...
Many cancer cells found to have an 'eat me' signal in Stanford study
2010-12-23
STANFORD, Calif. — Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that many cancer cells carry the seeds of their own destruction — a protein on the cell surface that signals circulating immune cells to engulf and digest them. On cancer cells, this "eat me" signal is counteracted by a separate "don't eat me" signal that was described in an earlier study. The two discoveries may lead to better cancer therapies, and also solve a mystery about why a previously reported cancer therapy is not more toxic.
In the study to be published Dec. 22 in Science ...
What sex are you?
2010-12-23
Sex in mammals is genetically determined. In humans, females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. However, some individuals are born with male genitalia despite having two X chromosomes, a condition known as XX male sex reversal. A team of researchers, led by Paul Thomas, University of Adelaide, Australia, has now determined that overexpression of the Sox3 gene in mice causes frequent XX male sex reversal. The clinical relevance of this was highlighted by the discovery of genomic rearrangements in the regulatory region of the human SOX3 gene ...
KISSing a theory goodbye in the link between puberty and nutrition status
2010-12-23
The timing of the onset of puberty is linked to levels of nutrition: later onset is associated with malnutrition, while earlier onset is linked to childhood obesity. A team of researchers, led by Carol Elias, at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, has now generated data in mice that run counter to current thinking about the molecular pathway by which nutrition status affects the onset of puberty. Further, the team defines a new regulatory pathway for the process, which, if confirmed in humans, could potentially lead to new approaches to treating ...
