United Medical Brokers Launches Website Dedicated to Purchase and Sale of Medical Related Businesses and Real Estate

New York, NY, April 01, 2009 -- United Medical Brokers announced its nationwide launch today from its corporate headquarters. United Medical Brokers www.unitedmedicalbrokers.com is now offering nationwide brokerage services for buyers and sellers of medical practices, medical related businesses, and medical related real estate.

The company is a division of Bridge Business and Property Brokers which is a leading business brokerage firm. Bridge was recently named to the INC 500 list of fastest growing companies. Currently there is no firm that offers nationwide support for buyers and sellers of medical related businesses.

United will maintain medical transaction specialists at each of its offices to support the diverse needs of medical business clients. The Managing Partner of the firm is Robert Flynn who spent most of his career with the publicly traded $3 billion London based Cookson Group plc as a senior executive; he brings decades of transaction related experience to the company.

The firm's growth strategy includes affiliations with leading national providers of medical business related services that are positioned to quickly identify medical related transaction opportunities. Prudential Real Estate has joined as an affiliate to serve the medical related real estate needs of United Medical Broker clients across the United States. Priority Leasing is also affiliated to provide medical equipment financing services.

"I am very excited about this expansion of our successful brokerage model. Medical related businesses continue to prosper during these difficult economic times. The long-term fundamentals look exceptionally positive and we are positioned to capitalize on them. Near term the health related policies being planned and executed by the new presidential administration will create further demand for our services," said A.J. Caro, founder of Bridge Business and Property Brokers.

Truck Drivers At Greater Risk For Lung Cancer

Diesel Users Suffer More Lung Cancer; a Simple Solution is to Hand from ChemEcol and VEPower

Those who work with and at close proximity to diesel engines, especially lorry drivers, are at a higher risk of cancer according to a recent US study. This is on top of the elevated risk of "heart disease and stroke, possibly resulting from enhanced coagulation and arterial thrombosis" such exposure gives. The good news is that a British company has developed a fuel technology that is seen to significantly reduce ultra fine particulate emissions by as much as 45%.

Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom, March 28, 2009 -- Truckers endure such grave risks as lung cancers, heart disease and stroke all the time they run their engines. But it's not just the lorry drivers who are at risk. The American study also saw that those working with the and near trucks (fork truck drivers, warehousemen, mechanics, and even office workers) are at elevated risk from these killers. Why?

Diesel exhaust carries particulate matter; this is what colours it smoky black. Particulates are both created by and carriers of toxic substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many of these are known to be particularly carcinogenic, mutagenic. Some of these particles are small enough (100nm or less) to be classified as nanoparticles. These have been found to become distributed around the body via the blood supply once inhaled with notable deposits being found in the liver and heart. If ingested (when particles have settled on food or in drink) they will also pass into the gastro-intestinal tract (4).

It's not just haulage workers and their colleagues who are at risk. Black carbon (again, part of the exhaust) exposure in city children has been shown to reduce development in terms of intelligence (5). The particulate matter we have been looking at is known also to exacerbate respiratory complaints, allergies such as asthma and may agitate some skin complaints also. Some studies have found that certain particulate constituents can be carcinogenic on the skin as well as when inhaled (6).

ChemEcol (UK) Ltd. makes the combustion enhancer Additone. The technology has been developed as a response to the grave threats posed by vehicle exhaust pollution. ChemEcol's products are not based on metallic catalysts, nano-technology or otherwise, as such would counteract the goal of reducing particulate pollutant emissions (the metallic particles would be exhausted along with the other emissions). In fact this technology is based on pure hydrocarbon formulations, maintaining the physical properties of the diesel.

ChemEcol's patented technology modifies the processes of fuel combustion inside the engine, reducing the particulates produced at the most fundamental level. This has a beneficial side-effect of reducing fuel consumption as the PAHs otherwise produced can be considered to be wasted fuel. This change then reduces CO2 emissions and costs by an average of 3%.
