PHILADELPHIA, PA, December 23, 2011 (Press-News.org) Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. David A. Bottger has made a commitment to reduce his practice's environmental impact. Dr. Bottger has always been committed to serving his community, in the OR and in the neighborhood, and now hopes to do even more for Philadelphia by practicing and promoting awareness of eco-friendly business practices for plastic surgeons through the B2B Green Alliance.

The B2B Green Alliance is sponsored by longtime partner Page 1 Solutions. The B2B Green Alliance is an environmental commitment program and part of the company's Page 1 Green Solutions. Page 1 Solutions hopes to extend its positive environmental impact through the B2B Green Alliance, which seeks to share eco-friendly business techniques with clients. The B2B Green Alliance also serves as a venue for clients to share those practices with other professionals. The theory is that by working together lawyers, dentists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, and bariatric surgeons who are concerned about eco-friendly practices can all help one another to achieve greater impact than any could individually.

Dr. Bottger's office has long sought to practice eco-conscious business practices, including energy conservation, water conservation, and recycling. Energy conservation practices initiated in the office include monitoring and maintaining HVAC system for efficiency, cleaning refrigerators, setting thermostats at comfortable but reasonable settings, the use of task lighting, and the use of efficient light bulbs.

First ever direct measurement of the Earth's rotation

2011-12-23

This press release is available in German.The Earth wobbles. Like a spinning top touched in mid-spin, its rotational axis fluctuates in relation to space. This is partly caused by gravitation from the sun and the moon. At the same time, the Earth's rotational axis constantly changes relative to the Earth's surface. On the one hand, this is caused by variation in atmospheric pressure, ocean loading and wind. These elements combine in an effect known as the Chandler wobble to create polar motion. Named after the scientist who discovered it, this phenomenon has a period of ...

American Cancer Society study finds colorectal cancer mortality dropping slower in African Americans

2011-12-23

ATLANTA -- A new study finds that while colorectal cancer mortality rates dropped in the most recent two decades for every stage in both African Americans and whites, the decreases were smaller for African Americans, particularly for distant stage disease. The authors say concerted efforts to prevent or detect colorectal cancer at earlier stages in blacks could improve worsening black-white disparities. Before 1980, colorectal cancer mortality rates for African Americans were lower than those for whites. Since then, however, the pattern of CRC mortality rates has reversed ...

Reclaiming the land after a forest fire

2011-12-23

Wildfires cause tragic losses to life, property, and the environment. But even after the fire rages, the damage is far from done. Without vegetation, bare, burnt soil lies vulnerable to erosion, which can impede efforts towards natural forest regeneration. Now Assaf Inbar, a graduate student at Tel Aviv University's Porter School of Environmental Studies, together with his supervisors Prof. Marcelo Sternberg of the Department of Molecular Biology and Ecology of Plants, Dr.Meni Ben-Hur of the Volcani Center and Dr. Marcos Lado of the University of La Coruña, Spain, have ...

Mayo Clinic discovery selected for Science's Top 10 Achievements of 2011

2011-12-23

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- The editors of the journal Science have selected a Mayo Clinic discovery as one of their top 10 "groundbreaking scientific achievements of 2011." The Mayo study --the first to eliminate the effects of aging in mice -- received worldwide attention when it was published in Nature in November. Science's international list of achievements featuring scientific breakthroughs ranging from biology to aerospace research was released Thursday afternoon. The study showed that the onset of age-related disorders and disabilities could be delayed or prevented by ...

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists Leave Accident Victims Few Options

2011-12-23

In every state but New Hampshire, drivers are required by law to carry liability insurance or some other proof of financial responsibility. This coverage ensures that those injured in motor vehicle accidents have resources available to compensate them for medical bills, wages lost due to an inability to work and other losses arising out of a crash. Adequate insurance coverage also protects those who carry it, even if they are not injured: drivers who cause an accident but lack coverage must pay out of pocket to compensate victims. Yet, according to an Insurance Research ...

Drugs used to overcome cancer may also combat antibiotic resistance: McMaster researchers

2011-12-23

Hamilton, ON (Dec. 22, 2011) - Drugs used to overcome cancer may also combat antibiotic resistance, finds a new study led by Gerry Wright, scientific director of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research at McMaster University. "Our study found that certain proteins, called kinases, that confer antibiotic resistance are structurally related to proteins important in cancer," says Wright about the study published in Chemistry & Biology. "The pharmaceutical sector has made a big investment in targeting these proteins, so there are a lot of compounds ...

Previously unconnected molecular networks conspire to promote cancer

2011-12-23

HOUSTON — An inflammation-promoting protein triggers deactivation of a tumor-suppressor that usually blocks cancer formation via the NOTCH signaling pathway, a team of researchers led by scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reports today in Molecular Cell. Working in liver cancer cell lines, the team discovered a mechanism by which tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) stimulates tumor formation, said senior author Mien-Chie Hung, Ph.D., professor and chair of MD Anderson's Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology. Hung also is MD Anderson's ...

HIV study named 2011 breakthrough of the year by Science

2011-12-23

The journal Science has chosen the HPTN 052 clinical trial (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/news/newsreleases/2011/Pages/HPTN052.aspx), an international HIV prevention trial sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, as the 2011 Breakthrough of the Year. The study found that if HIV-infected heterosexual individuals begin taking antiretroviral medicines when their immune systems are relatively healthy as opposed to delaying therapy until the disease has advanced, they are 96 percent less likely to transmit ...

Enzyme that flips switch on cells' sugar cravings could be anti-cancer target

2011-12-23

Cancer cells tend to take up more glucose than healthy cells, and researchers are increasingly interested in exploiting this tendency with drugs that target cancer cells' altered metabolism. Cancer cells' sugar cravings arise partly because they turn off their mitochondria, power sources that burn glucose efficiently, in favor of a more inefficient mode of using glucose. They benefit because the byproducts can be used as building blocks for fast-growing cells. Scientists at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University have shown that many types of cancer cells flip ...
