AUSTIN, TX, October 28, 2010 (Press-News.org) A new product from EnviroGreen Global Solutions, Inc., could prevent future incidents of food-borne illnesses such as the recent outbreak of Listeria in a processing plant in Texas which killed four people, according to Diane Hardin, Senior Vice President of Research and Development for EGS. AOL News reported on Thursday that the Texas Department of State Health Services has shut down the plant after tracing six cases of listeriosis, four of which were fatal, to celery processed there.
Ms. Hardin explains, "Produce treated with Preserv Post Harvest Wash during processing will kill 99.99% of bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes. While there are many products designed to do this, Preserv is the only solution which provides extended protection for up to twenty one days. In contrast to more commonplace interventions, Preserv is not a contact killer. Our product completely and fatally interrupts the bacteria's metabolism."
According to The Centers for Disease Control and Protection, as many as 500 people per year die from listeriosis. It is particularly dangerous for children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems, and can also cause miscarriages or premature labor in pregnant women.
"Processors strive to maintain food safety standards," notes Ms. Hardin. "When an outbreak of this gravity occurs, it has a drastic ripple effect on the entire industry. For this reason, we are redoubling our efforts to introduce Preserv to the produce industry."
Preserv not only has been shown to provide 50 times the residual protection of chlorine on produce and other raw agricultural commodities in laboratory tests, it is safe (EPA-registered with "exemption from tolerance" status for human consumption) and cost-effective. Preserv is simple to use without the need for costly equipment or retooled infrastructure. Ms. Hardin adds, "Our application for organic certification has just been approved. The organic produce industry is particularly excited about the possibility of having a uniquely powerful solution to bacterial contamination problems that is friendly to the health of their employees, the public and the environment in general."

New guideline from ASH and ASCO recommends caution regarding ESA use in cancer patients
2010-10-27
(WASHINGTON, October 25, 2010) – An updated joint guideline by the American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) advises physicians about the appropriate use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), a class of drugs that stimulate the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, to treat cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia. While the guideline cautions that ESAs are associated with shorter survival and increased risk of thromboembolism — blood clots — and tumor progression, it also recognizes their major benefit ...
New class of biomolecules triggered in response to respiratory virus infection
2010-10-27
For the first time, scientists have discovered that a poorly understood class of RNA produced in a mammal's cells during a respiratory virus attack may affect the outcome of the infection. Their findings are reported today in mBio, a journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
RNA (ribonucleic acid) contains information transcribed from the cell's instruction manual, its DNA. The best known of these RNAs translate sections of DNA code into building blocks for proteins.
Most studies of how animals' cells respond to virus infection typically look at protein-coding ...
Landmark study finds high resting heart associated with shorter life expectancy
2010-10-27
Montreal −If you are a person who already has stable heart disease, how fast your heart beats at rest can predict your risk of dying, not only from heart disease but all other causes, Dr. Eva Lonn told the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2010, co-hosted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society.
"The higher the heart rate, the higher the risk of death from cardiovascular and all causes, even after adjusting for all risk factors that could confound our results," says Dr. Lonn, a cardiologist and professor at McMaster University. ...
Severe sepsis associated with development of cognitive and functional disability in older patients
2010-10-27
Older adults who survived severe sepsis were more likely to develop substantial cognitive impairment and functional disability, according to a study in the October 27 issue of JAMA.
Hundreds of thousands of patients endure severe sepsis each year in the United States, according to background information in the article. "Although severe sepsis is the most common non-cardiac cause of critical illness, the long-term impact of severe sepsis on cognitive and physical functioning is unknown," the authors write.
