ATLANTA, GA, February 16, 2012 (Press-News.org) Known as a leader in the field of allergy bedding, AchooAllergy.com's Allergy Armor bedding line has been featured on the award-winning television show The Doctors and is recommended by over 4000 physicians annually. Extending this innovative line of bedding, AchooAllergy now offers another product aimed at improving the lives of allergy sufferers - the Allergy Armor Organic Cotton Blanket.
Specially designed and crafted for individuals with asthma, allergies, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), the Allergy Armor organic cotton blanket is made with un-dyed, organically grown cotton. Certified organic, the raw material is free of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, fixatives, toxic fire retardants, and harsh detergents found in modern textile manufacturing.
For those looking to incorporate more organic products into their lives or to simply buy American, these blankets are a great fit. Not only are they organic, but they are domestically sourced from start to finish - Texas grown cotton, woven in South Carolina, finished, sewn and packaged at AchooAllergy's Atlanta location.
Allergy Armor organic cotton blankets are light, yet warm, and the material features a richly textured luxury weave. Since it is made of cotton, it has the breathability of natural fiber, and the untreated threads are soft yet strong, offering long lasting durability. Every blanket's edge is serged before it is hemmed for added strength, and each is held to the highest quality control standards.
According to Product Manager, James Simmons, the bedroom tends to be one of the most allergen-heavy places in the household, which is why the Allergy Armor line makes a special effort to focus on bedroom allergen control. Solutions like allergy bedding and HEPA air purifiers are important first steps in controlling allergens like dust mites and improving indoor air quality.
As cases of MCS continue to grow, expanding offerings to include products for these individuals is just another way of improving that overall focus on health. AchooAllergy.com maintains an ongoing commitment to finding innovative ways of offering relief to allergy sufferers, with this organic cotton blanket being the newest achievement in that area.

Orthopaedic smart device provides personalized medicine
2012-02-16
"The sensor provides opportunities to make specific and detailed diagnostics for a particular patient and to tailor care based on very objective and quantitative measures," said Eric H. Ledet, PhD, Assistant Professor, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
"This highly unique sensor is very small (4 mm diameter and 500 microns thick), is wireless, batteryless, and requires no telemetry within the body. Its simplicity makes it less prone to failure and very inexpensive to produce," Dr. Ledet explained.
The orthopaedic implant acts as a carrier for the sensor. The wireless ...
Immunization for MRSA on the horizon
2012-02-16
Although only 2 percent of the American population that undergo total joint replacement surgery will suffer an infection, half of those infections are from MRSA. The results of a MRSA infection after a total joint replacement can be devastating. Currently, there is no effective treatment for MRSA-infected implants. With the increasing incidence of total joint replacement surgeries, the prevalence of MRSA-infected implants is expected to rise.
A team of investigators from the University of Rochester Medical Center has developed a vaccine that can prevent bacterial ...

MATERIALS -- Next-generation electronics . . .
Changing the behavior of a material isn't big magic – it's nanoscale chemistry. Alejandro Lopez-Bezanilla used the computing power of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jaguar supercomputer, America's fastest, to study the effects of adding oxygen, sulfur and hydrogen to nanoribbons made of boron nitride. The added elements changed the behavior of boron nitride – a good insulator – into that of a metal. That makes the material promising for faster computer chips and smarter cell phones. Stable, inexpensive boron nitride can ...
Conventional thought on ACL injury mechanism challenged
2012-02-16
According to Timothy E. Hewett, PhD, FACSM, Director of Research, Ohio State University Sports Health and Performance Institute and Cincinnati Children's Sports Medicine Biodynamics Center, that injury occurs due to a tri-planar multi-dimensional combination of factors.
"Sometimes in science we have a lot of clinical expertise and a lot of engineering expertise but we don't have much—what I call--'common sense-pertise'."
"Is it just anterior translation that strains and tears the ACL? Is it just knee abduction or that inward motion that tears the ACL? Is it just ...
Building bone from cartilage
2012-02-16
A person has a tumor removed from her femur. A soldier is struck by an improvised explosive device and loses a portion of his tibia. A child undergoes chemotherapy for osteosarcoma but part of the bone dies as a result.
Every year, millions of Americans sustain fractures that don't heal or lose bone that isn't successfully grafted. But a study presented at the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) 2012 Annual Meeting in San Francisco offers new hope for those who sustain these traumas.
Orthopaedic researchers with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), ...
South Asians living with coronary disease experience lower quality of life: Study
2012-02-16
In a first-of-its-kind study in Canada, Kevin Bainey of the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry has discovered that South Asians who live in Alberta with coronary disease experience a lower quality of life.
This adds to prior data that this group lives with more severe disease.
Using the APPROACH registry, which captures information about all patients who undergo a coronary angiogram in Alberta, the research team analyzed data about quality of life and health status of this population. The validated survey results showed that South Asians' overall quality of life scored ...
Protein may play role in obesity, diabetes, aging
2012-02-16
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a potent regulator of sensitivity to insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels. The new findings may help scientists find better treatments for type 2 diabetes, obesity and other health problems caused by the body's inability to properly regulate blood sugar.
The research is published online Feb. 13 in PLoS ONE.
Fat and muscle cells in patients with type 2 diabetes become resistant to insulin, which normally causes them to take in glucose from the blood. The protein studied ...
Internet a boost for answers to mental health

University of Melbourne researchers have found Wikipedia is the most highly rated website for accessing information on mental-health related topics.
The researchers assessed a range of on-line and print material on mental health-related topics and found that in the majority of cases, Wikipedia was the most highly rated in most domains.
Content about mental health was extracted from 14 frequently accessed websites, including Wikipedia, Encyclopaedia Britannica and a psychiatry textbook. Text providing information about depression and schizophrenia was assessed.

How fast you walk and your grip in middle age may predict dementia, stroke risk
2012-02-16
NEW ORLEANS – Simple tests such as walking speed and hand grip strength may help doctors determine how likely it is a middle-aged person will develop dementia or stroke. That's according to new research that was released today and will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 64th Annual Meeting in New Orleans April 21 to April 28, 2012.
"These are basic office tests which can provide insight into risk of dementia and stroke and can be easily performed by a neurologist or general practitioner," said Erica C. Camargo, MD, MSc, PhD, with Boston Medical Center.

Smoking-cessation aide varenicline also makes drinking less enjoyable
2012-02-16
A new study has examined how smoking-cessation aide varenicline may reduce drinking.
Results indicate that varenicline may reduce drinking by increasing alcohol's aversive effects.
Specifically, varenicline may increase blood pressure, heart rate, as well as ratings of dysphoria and nausea.
Varenicline is an effective smoking-cessation medication that may also reduce drinking. However, the means by which it might reduce drinking is unclear. A study of the effects of varenicline on subjective, physiological, and objective responses to low and moderate doses of alcohol ...
