MIAMI, FL, June 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) A leading provider of executive health and corporate health programs, concierge medical service EliteHealth has been selected by the southern division of Holman Automotive Group - one of the nation's top auto dealership and leasing companies - to provide a Wellness Program for their managerial staff. The move follows a successful implementation of EliteHealth's Executive Wellness Program in 2010, which has provided concierge medical services to 15 of Holman's southern executive management group.
More and more companies are recognizing that corporate success is dependent upon the strength of the corporation's staff - and keeping employees healthy is the best way to improve productivity, reduce sick leave, and prevent sub-par performance while at work. Offering employees a higher-level healthcare plan also increases employee satisfaction in the workplace and reflects upon the corporation's positive attitude toward its staff. By selecting programs from EliteHealth, Holman Automotive Group is demonstrating its dedication to caring for its valuable employees.
The wellness program selected by Holman Automotive Group for their managerial staff serves around 70 managers and features a range of exclusive concierge healthcare services. Managers will enjoy an annual executive physical exam, which features CIMT cardiac testing, a heart scan, advanced lipid profiling, and chest x-ray; a thorough medical history evaluation; and nutrition counseling. This intense focus on preventive cardiology and healthcare acts to "ensure they're not missing any diseases," says Dr. Perry Krichmar, M.D. and Chief Operations Officer at EliteHealth. "Holman recognizes this because we had done this last year and it rolled so well with their executives." Holman's managers will also receive priority medical appointments with their physicians as well as a personal Health Care Advocate to help them make appointments, find physicians, manage their medical records, and navigate the healthcare system.
In addition to healthcare and wellness programs for executives and managers, EliteHealth also specializes in Corporate Wellness Programs which offer comprehensive lab testing, 24/7 online access to an ER physician plus their personal medical records through EliteHealth's patient portal myEliteHealth.com, in-home or in-room doctor visits while traveling, and personal health consultations. Starting at under $6 per month per employee, these programs offer corporations an extremely affordable way to ensure that the entire staff is well-cared for. Holman Automotive Group's southern division has taken a smart step toward total employee health by offering their executives and managers care plans from EliteHealth.

Cancer protein discovery may aid radiation therapy
2011-06-10
BOSTON--Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have uncovered a new role for a key cancer protein, a finding that could pave the way for more-effective radiation treatment of a variety of tumors.
Many cancers are driven in part by elevated levels of cyclin D1, which allow the cells to escape growth controls and proliferate abnormally. In the new research, reported in the June 9 issue of Nature, researchers discovered that cyclin D1 also helps cancer cells to quickly repair DNA damage caused by radiation treatments, making the tumors resistant to the therapy.

Penn researchers show new evidence of genetic 'arms race' against malaria
2011-06-10
PHILADELPHIA — For tens of thousands of years, the genomes of malaria parasites and humans have been at war with one another. Now, University of Pennsylvania geneticists, in collaboration with an international team of scientists, have developed a new picture of one way that the human genome has fought back.
The international team was led by Sarah Tishkoff, a Penn Integrates Knowledge professor with appointments in the genetics department in Penn's Perelman School of Medicine and the biology department of biology in the School of Arts and Sciences, and Wen-Ya Ko, a postdoctoral ...
Physician participation in lethal injection executions should not be banned, argue 2 ethicists
2011-06-10
(Garrison, NY) Should physicians be banned from assisting in a lethal injection execution, or lose professional certification for doing so? A recent ruling by the American Board of Anesthesiology will revoke certification of anesthesiologists who participate in capital punishment, and other medical boards may act similarly. An article in the Hastings Center Report concludes that decertification of physicians participating in lethal injections by a professional certifying organization goes too far—though individual physicians and private medical groups like the AMA are ...
How killer immune cells avoid killing themselves
2011-06-10
After eight years of work, researchers have unearthed what has been a well-kept secret of our immune system's success. The findings published online on June 9th in Immunity, a Cell Press publication, offer an explanation for how specialized immune cells are able to kill infected or cancerous cells without killing themselves in the process.
The focus of the study is a molecule known as perforin, whose job it is to open up a pore in cells targeted for destruction. With that pore in place, proteases known as granzymes can enter target cells and destroy them.
Perforin ...

Hormone test helps predict success in IVF
2011-06-10
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Given how much patients invest in in vitro fertilization (IVF), both financially and emotionally, tools to inform couples about what they might expect during their treatment can be welcome. A study by researchers at Brown University and Women & Infants Hospital shows that as the IVF cycle is beginning, a blood test for levels of a hormone called AMH, or antimullerian hormone, can help predict the number of eggs that will be harvested.
"Clinicians can measure AMH before or during ovarian stimulation to counsel couples about their likelihood ...
Want better math teachers? Train them better, says MSU scholar
2011-06-10
EAST LANSING, Mich. — It's time for the United States to consider establishing higher standards for math teachers if the nation is going to break its "vicious cycle" of mediocrity, a Michigan State University education scholar argues in Science magazine.
As American students continue to be outpaced in mathematics by pupils in countries such as Russia and Taiwan, William Schmidt recommends adopting more rigorous, demanding and internationally benchmarked teacher-preparation standards for math teachers.
"Our research shows that current teacher-preparation programs for ...

Potential new target for smoking cessation without weight gain
2011-06-10
A new study uncovers a brain mechanism that could be targeted for new medications designed to help people quit smoking without gaining weight. This research, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, shows that a specific subclass of brain nicotinic receptor is involved in nicotine's ability to reduce food intake in rodents. Prior research shows that the average weight gain after smoking is less than 10 pounds, but fear of weight gain can discourage some people who would like to quit.
In the study, to be published ...
