MGRC, Clinipath announce affordable genetic screening test for breast, ovarian cancers
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Genomics Resource Centre Berhad (MGRC) and subsidiary, Clinipath Sdn Bhd have announced the availability of Dtect BRCA+, an affordable genetic screening test that examines key genes associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancers.
According to a statement, positive results from Dtect BRCA+ may identify a need for regular, pathology surveillance to catch either of these diseases early when they are easiest to treat, and may also be useful to encourage positive lifestyle changes to mitigate the risk of hereditary breast cancer or ovarian cancer from occurring.
Early detection and treatment of breast cancer and ovarian cancer (at Stage 1) can led to a five-year relative survival rate of 87.5 per cent and 82.8 per cent, respectively, according to a Health Ministry study.
The study on cancer incidence and survival rates published by the ministry in 2018, which was observed at any age above 40, also found that the mortality rate for breast cancer was 43.3 per cent, while it was 52.9 per cent for ovarian cancer.
Symptoms for breast cancer may include swelling of all or part of a breast, skin irritation, thickening of the nipple or breast skin and abnormal nipple discharge while symptoms for ovarian cancer may include abdominal bloating, indigestion, increased urge to urinate, constipation and menstrual irregularities.
The public-listed healthcare company, MGRC and Clinipath continue to work together to make comprehensive pathology services, and the latest in genetic testing for doctors to improve the lives of patients in Malaysia and the region.

WWF REPORT REVEALS STAGGERING EXTENT OF HUMAN IMPACT ON PLANET
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 (Bernama) -- Human activity is pushing the planet’s natural systems that support life on earth to the edge, WWF’s Living Planet Report 2018 revealed.
It also presents a sobering picture of the impact of human activity on the world’s wildlife, forests, oceans, rivers and climate, hence the call for an urgent need for the global community to collectively rethink and redefine how they value, protect and restore nature.
“We are withdrawing from our natural resources’ ‘savings account’ insatiably, leaving less for the next generation to live with. The disappearing fish in the sea, the changing climate, our empty forests are all the symptoms,” WWF-Malaysia Conservation Director Dr Henry Chan said in a statement here, today.
According to Chan, the latest report had indicated a decline on global populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, on average, by 60 per cent between 1970 and 2014, where the top threats to species identified in the report were directly linked to human activities, including habitat loss and degradation and overexploitation of wildlife.
“In Malaysia, marine turtles are facing threats to their survival, the Sumatran rhino is already extinct in the wild, and species like the Malayan tiger, gaur and sambar deer are in peril,” he said.
The report also looks at the importance of pollinators and how a changing climate, intensive agricultural practices, invasive species and emerging diseases have affected their abundance, diversity and health.
“In tropical areas, our dependency on pollinators is up to 98 per cent for the production of fruits; therefore, Malaysia has a good reason to be worried.
“As a country, we need to adopt responsible production and consumption of commodities. All forest areas that have been designated for production forest should be managed in accordance with certification standards that call for a balance of ecological, social and economic needs,” he said.
Chan also called for the mandatory certification requirement for palm oil production in Malaysia to be extended for production of seafood, fish, and shrimp to curb further decline of the marine lives.

BENXI PLAYS A "SONG OF ICE AND FIRE"
SHENYANG, China, Feb. 20, 2019 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/ --
Just during the Chinese lunar New Year of this year, tourists over the whole country had an ice and snow feast in Benxi, Liaoning province. According to Benxi Municipal Government, Benxi has created an innovative ice economy to successfully solve the common tourism problem of "half year hot, half year idle" in northern cities, transforming "cold resources" into "hot economy", and playing a "song of ice and fire".
On Feb. 13th, 2019, Benxi Ice and Snow Carnival was held in Huaxi Mu International Hot Spring Resort. Chen Kefeng and his friends, tourists from Shenzhen, Guangdong province, had been "fully armed" on the ski slopes. "We specially come here for this big drop, which is international level," Chen Kefeng said.
"It's funny that your wet hair will freeze hard in no time when you are soaking in the hot springs," said a tourist from Jinan, Shandong province. The general manager of operations of Benxi Huaxi Mu International Hot Spring Resort, Song Zhenglin said that a large number of southern tourists would come here for skiing, soaking in hot springs and enjoying the snow in every winter. Especially during every Spring Festival, all rooms would be booked up early.
In recent years, it has become a trend to soak hot springs, go skiing, drink sheep soup and eat Manchu hotpot in Benxi. Relying on the unique geological and ecological resources, Benxi has gradually formed a multi-point blooming situation of the ice and snow economy, driving the development of the ice-snow tourism industry cluster. There are nearly 20 resorts that feature skiing and hot springs in Benxi.
The freezing world of ice and snow is bringing new economic vitality to Benxi, turning the frozen and snow-covered land into a mountain of gold and silver. According to the 2018 ice-snow tourism data, Benxi had received about 7.702 millions tourists, and the total tourism revenue reached 6.24 billion yuan.
The municipal party committee secretary of Benxi, Jiang Xiaolin, told the reporter that Benxi has created an "ice-snow and hot spring" model, which has attracted a large number of tourists all over the country and significantly increased the tourism revenue. Taking the Huaxi Mu International Hot Spring Resort as an example, it invested more than 2 billion yuan in building high-end hot spring towns in remote mountain villages, which promotes the rural revitalization and drives the increase of villagers' income and prosperity.

Just during the Chinese lunar New Year of this year, tourists over the whole country had an ice and snow feast in Benxi, Liaoning province. According to Benxi Municipal Government, Benxi has created an innovative ice economy to successfully solve the common tourism problem of "half year hot, half year idle" in northern cities, transforming "cold resources" into "hot economy", and playing a "song of ice and fire".
On Feb. 13th, 2019, Benxi Ice and Snow Carnival was held in Huaxi Mu International Hot Spring Resort. Chen Kefeng and his friends, tourists from Shenzhen, Guangdong province, had been "fully armed" on the ski slopes. "We specially come here for this big drop, which is international level," Chen Kefeng said.
"It's funny that your wet hair will freeze hard in no time when you are soaking in the hot springs," said a tourist from Jinan, Shandong province. The general manager of operations of Benxi Huaxi Mu International Hot Spring Resort, Song Zhenglin said that a large number of southern tourists would come here for skiing, soaking in hot springs and enjoying the snow in every winter. Especially during every Spring Festival, all rooms would be booked up early.
In recent years, it has become a trend to soak hot springs, go skiing, drink sheep soup and eat Manchu hotpot in Benxi. Relying on the unique geological and ecological resources, Benxi has gradually formed a multi-point blooming situation of the ice and snow economy, driving the development of the ice-snow tourism industry cluster. There are nearly 20 resorts that feature skiing and hot springs in Benxi.

Align Technology´s imaging system bites into tooth internal structure in real time
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 (Bernama) -- Align Technology, Inc has launched the iTero Element 5D Imaging System, providing a new comprehensive approach to clinical applications, workflows and user experience.
According to a statement, the entire iTero product family, including the newly-launched system will be showcased at the five-day, 38th International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany, beginning March 12.
The iTero Element 5D scanner is the first integrated dental imaging system that simultaneously records 3D, intra-oral colour and near-infrared imaging (NIRI) images and enables comparison over time, using iTero TimeLapse.
The system provides doctors with powerful visualisation capabilities, including 3D impressions for restorative and orthodontic work, analysis instruments, NIRI imagery, intraoral camera imagery and many more within a full arch scan, in as little as 60 seconds!
“With this new imaging system, doctors can efficiently and effectively scan every patient at every visit and visualise treatment options together, resulting in more informed decisions for optimum oral care,” said Align Technology CTO and senior vice-president, global research and development, Zelko Relic.
“The system aids doctors in detecting and monitoring the progression of interproximal cavities above the gingiva without harmful radiation, thereby helping to ensure that their patients receive even better care,” said Align Technology, vice-president, global clinical, Dr Mitra Derakhshan.
Align Technology also offers a web-based platform, MyiTero.com that complements the comprehensive visualisation of the new system. It can be used to set up prescription before the appointment and review scans with the patient on multiple devices.
It continues to streamline workflows for dentists and laboratories (lab) with the addition of direct doctor-lab workflow which allows the scan to be automatically sent to the doctor’s lab of choice as the doctor can engage with the lab through the MyiTero.com account.
The iTero Element 5D Imaging System is commercially available in Canada, European Union countries accepting CE-Marking (excluding Greece), Switzerland, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Thailand. For more information, visit http://www.itero.com.
