CHARDON, OH, March 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) It's time for a new collectible in motorsports! Die cast cars have been a mainstay in the motorsports collectible market for years and until now there hasn't been anything new on the horizon. The newest collectible for motorsports fans and watch collectors is the ALTAIR ICON 3. The ALTAIR ICON 3 timepiece contains a piece of an actual raced tire off the famous #3 Chevrolet during one of its historic runs. ALTAIR is privileged to be granted one of the last remaining tires authenticated by Richard Childress and Richard Childress Racing (RCR) as "race used" by the #3 Chevrolet.
The ALTAIR limited edition timepiece was developed to highlight specific iconic events in history and the stars that shined the brightest during this celebrated place in time. The ALTAIR timepiece is a premium collector's item which celebrates these legendary figures and their extraordinary achievements. "Very few collectibles are designed to leave the home of the consumer" says Dr. Scott Haack, the ALTAIR Group president, and founder. "We have developed a premium collectible that is sure to create a buzz wherever life takes those that purchase this special instrument."
No other number in motorsports history evokes as much widespread emotion as the famous #3. This was evident at the 2011 Daytona 500 when on lap three every hand in the stands, and the infield was raised, with three fingers held high, to commemorate this beloved legendary figure. At this year's Daytona 500 in February the ALTAIR Group launched the ALTAIR ICON 3 timepiece to the motorsports market. There are only 333 ICON 3 timepieces available for purchase worldwide and once they're gone...they're gone! Due to the depleted inventory from the career of the famous #3 Richard Childress Racing has confirmed that this premium limited edition collectible item will never be duplicated again.
The ALTAIR Group is a collectible timepiece company that highlights specific iconic events in time through premium instruments. ALTAIR has issued a special offer on their website to race fans and watch collectors to receive money back on the purchase of the ICON 3 in exchange for information pertinent to future collectible timepieces. ALTAIR is currently in negotiations with John Force Entertainment to feature John Force's 15th World Funny Car Championship from Pomona, California on November 14th, 2010.

Infusion of drug into the coronary artery may help reduce size of heart damage after heart attack
2012-03-26
Administration of a bolus dose of the anticoagulant drug abciximab into the coronary artery involved in causing a certain type of heart attack among patients who were undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention and also receiving another anticoagulant resulted in reduction in the size of damage to the heart muscle at 30 days, while a procedure that involved use of a catheter to remove the blood clot blocking that coronary artery did not produce these results, according to a study appearing in JAMA. The study is being published early online to coincide with its presentation ...
The long, err, short of it
2012-03-26
BOSTON, MA—No one really wants the short end of the stick, in this case the short end of a chromosome. Telomeres, which are DNA-protein complexes at the ends of chromosomes, can be thought of as protein "caps" that protect chromosomes from deteriorating and fusing with neighboring chromosomes.
It is typical for telomeres to shorten as cells divide and chromosomes replicate over time. Now a new study from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) suggest a strong link between telomere shortening and poor cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Researchers discover first-ever link between tiny genetic structures, imminent heart attack risk
2012-03-26
SALT LAKE CITY — Researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute have, for the first time ever, made a connection between tiny genetic molecules called microRNAs and the imminent threat of a heart attack, according to a new study.
The findings are an important first step toward developing a method for predicting heart attacks in people who show no outward signs, but may be at great risk of having a heart attack. The research group will present study results today (March 25) at the American College of Cardiology's 61st Annual Scientific Session in Chicago.

Diabetes associated with higher risk of cardiovascular problems in men
2012-03-26
BOSTON, MA—According to a new study by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), men with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin without a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) were at higher risk for major cardiovascular events (e.g., death, heart attack, stroke) compared with men who had a history of CVD.
The study is being presented at the American College of Cardiology 2012 Annual Scientific Session, March 24 to 26 in Chicago.
Using data from the global REACH Registry, researchers evaluated the magnitude of risk of diabetes mellitus on cardiovascular ...
Large-scale, community-wide preventive initiative dramatically impacts CV risk profile
2012-03-26
CHICAGO -- A population-wide community and clinical prevention program involving 10,000 adults meaningfully reduced the cardiovascular (CV) risk profile among a substantial portion of the population as indicated by those participating in screenings. Findings also indicate the level of improvements differ by gender for specific cardiovascular risk factors. The results will be presented March 25 at the 61st annual American College of Cardiology (ACC) scientific session.

Some 90-year-old heart attack patients have 'excellent' outcomes with coronary stenting
2012-03-26
CHICAGO—Selected patients 90 years and older who experience an acute heart attack, or ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), have reasonable outcomes with coronary stenting, and should be considered for reperfusion therapy, based on a scientific poster being presented at the 61st annual American College of Cardiology (ACC) scientific session.
Current STEMI guidelines do not specifically address age-related reperfusion decisions, even number though the number of people over 90 years old in the U.S. is expected to quadruple by 2050.

Significant mismatch between PCI capable-hospitals and need
2012-03-26
CHICAGO—There is an imbalance between the rapid growth of cardiac catheterization laboratories, which provide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, relative to the growth in the overall U.S. population, as well as patients who experience an acute heart attack, or ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), according to a study presented March 25 at the 61st annual American College of Cardiology (ACC) scientific session.
PCI is the preferred treatment strategy for patients who undergo STEMI. However, distance and access to PCI remains a determining factor ...
'Coaching Boys into Men' an effective tool for stopping teen dating violence
2012-03-26
Male high school athletes' ability to recognize and intervene to stop dating violence -- the physical, sexual and emotional aggression prevalent in adolescent romantic relationships -- is improved with the intervention of some of the most important role models in young men's lives: their coaches.
A new study conducted in Sacramento, Calif., led by UC Davis researchers has found that a structured program delivered by coaches, called "Coaching Boys into Men," is effective for discouraging adolescent dating violence. The research is published online today in the Journal ...
Protein found to regulate spread of pancreatic cancer cells
2012-03-26
Researchers at Queen Mary, University of London have identified a new protein that makes pancreatic cancer cells less 'sticky' and therefore less able to attach to and invade other tissue.
The protein, known as S100PBP, does this by suppressing a second protein called cathepsin Z. The research team has shown that cathepsin Z makes pancreatic cancer cells sticky, allowing them to spread to their surrounding environment. Prior to this study nothing was known about the function of S100PBP in the body or the role that cathepsin Z plays in pancreactic cancer.
The findings, ...
