Environment Abatement Company, Abatepro, Inc., Now Offering Free Inspections of Furnaces and Boilers

Free inspections offered as the cold weather approaches.

2010-10-09

ST. LOUIS, MO, October 09, 2010 (Press-News.org) The recent cold weather has prompted some to turn on their furnace and boilers only to find them needing repairs, according to the CEO of a local environmental abatement company, Abatepro, Inc.

Nicholas Feco has been performing asbestos inspections since 2004 and has seen a steady influx of HVAC systems needing repairs as fall weather approaches.

"When it gets cold, equipment will fail," says Mr. Feco, "and the reputable HVAC guys won't touch asbestos pipes, boilers or duct wrap."

This year the number of inspections has dropped. Mr. Feco believes this trend will continue with the economy the way it is.

"People barely have enough money to pay their heating bills let alone pay for repairs. Throw in the cost of inspections, removal, repair and safety goes out the window; you'll end up with a contaminated house."

Abatepro, Inc. is a licensed, insured and bonded asbestos removal company in Missouri and Illinois. The free inspection program is limited to the Saint Louis Area and will continue until December 15, 2010.

Einstein researchers find osteoporosis drug may help women with kidney disease

2010-10-08

October 6, 2010 — (BRONX, NY) — The osteoporosis drug raloxifene may be useful in treating kidney disease in women, suggests a new study led by Michal Melamed, M.D., M.H.S., assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology & population health at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. According to government statistics, an estimated 23 million American adults over age 20 suffers from chronic kidney disease―more than one out of 10. More than a half-million patients are under treatment for end-stage renal disease. New treatments are urgently ...

Mount Etna's mystery explained?

2010-10-08

Internationally renowned geophysicist Dr Wouter Schellart has developed the first dynamic model to explain the mystery of the largest and most fascinating volcano in Europe, Mount Etna. Dr Schellart's results from fluid dynamic models provide an alternative explanation for the existence of Mount Etna, its geological environment and evolution, as well as volcanism in the surrounding region. His theory suggests that Mount Etna is not directly the result of tectonic plate boundary activity, but that it resulted from decompression melting of upper mantle material flowing ...

Gut microbes promote cell turnover by a well-known pathway

2010-10-08

Microbes matter -- perhaps more than anyone realizes -- in basic biological development and, maybe, they could be a target for reducing cancer risks, according to University of Oregon researchers. In a study of very basic biology of zebrafish, scientists in the UO Institute of Molecular Biology focused on the developing intestine during its early formation in the sterile environment of its eggshell through the exposure to natural colonizing bacteria after hatching. What they found was eye opening, said Karen Guillemin, professor of biology: Resident microbes in the ...

Scientists give extinct passenger pigeon a place on the family tree

2010-10-08

With bits of DNA extracted from century-old museum specimens, researchers have found a place for the extinct Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) in the family tree of pigeons and doves, identifying this unique bird's closest living avian relatives for the first time. The new analysis, which appears this month in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, reveals that the Passenger Pigeon was most closely related to other North and South American pigeons, and not to the Mourning Dove, as was previously suspected. "This research demonstrates the remarkable potential of ...

Doctors evaluating heart problems should consider checking fat deposits around the heart

2010-10-08

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 6, 2010) – Cardiac imaging researchers at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute are recommending that physicians not overlook fatty deposits around the heart when evaluating patients for risk of major heart problems. Although abdominal fat is often considered in making these assessments, recent research suggests that measuring fatty tissue around the heart is an even better predictor, and noninvasive CT scanning may provide this important information. The recommendation appeared in an editorial comment published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: ...

Call to heal the world's coral reefs

2010-10-08

There is still time to save the world's ailing coral reefs, if prompt and decisive action can be taken to improve their overall health, leading marine researchers say. Writing in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution, eminent marine scientists from Australia and the USA have called for an international effort to improve the resilience of coral reefs, so they can withstand the impacts of climate change and other human activities. "The world's coral reefs are important economic, social and environmental assets, and they are in deep trouble. How much trouble, and ...

Disability and Health Journal critically examines Americans with Disabilities Act

2010-10-08

New York, NY, October 6, 2010 – In recognition of the 20th anniversary of the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the October issue of Disability and Health Journal has brought together a series of articles to examine whether the ADA has in fact improved the health of people with disabilities. Areas of progress are identified, most notably acknowledging physical barriers and need for better staff training and communication about and with people with disabilities. However, there continue to be ongoing challenges, including recurrent barriers to health ...

Missing self-injury behavior in youths with eating disorders, Stanford/Packard study finds

2010-10-08

STANFORD, Calif. - An alarming number of adolescents already battling eating disorders are also intentionally cutting themselves, and health-care providers may be failing to diagnose many instances of such self-injury, according to a new study from Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. The researchers found that 40.8 percent of patients with eating disorders in their study had documented incidents of intentionally harming themselves, most often by cutting and burning. What's more, the study suggests that inadequate clinical screening ...

Genetically modified crop resistance to pests benefits non-modified crop, U of Minnesota study finds

2010-10-08

Transgenic corn's resistance to pests has benefitted even non-transgenic corn, a new study led by scientists from the University of Minnesota shows. The study, published in the Oct. 8 edition of the journal Science, found that widespread planting of genetically modified Bt corn throughout the Upper Midwest has suppressed populations of the European corn borer, historically one of corn's primary pests. This areawide suppression has dramatically reduced the estimated $1 billion in annual losses caused by the European corn borer, even on non-genetically modified corn. Bt ...

Scientists reveal first structure of a class of proteins that help guide blood cell movement

2010-10-08

LA JOLLA, CA – October 4, 2010 – Researchers have determined the structure of a protein that helps guide blood-forming stem cells, or hematopoetic stem cells. The protein is also one of the main receptors used by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to get inside blood cells. The findings are described in the October 7, 2010 issue of the journal Science. The structure offers a detailed view of how the cell surface receptor, called CXCR4, interacts with molecules outside the cell. The results have implications for developing new drugs for hematopoetic stem cell transplantation, ...
