Wantanee Khamkongkaew asked:


Since July 2007, the U.S. sub-prime mortgage problems and the increases in credit spreads over government bonds have triggered concerns about a global credit crunch, and caused global stock market volatility.

However, financial institutions in Asia are in a relatively good position with respect to the credit crunch since they have less exposure to sub-prime mortgage instruments than those based in Europe or the US. Some foreign capital is being redirected to Asian property markets, seeking to benefit not merely from the natural appreciation of real estate in dynamic economies, but also from appreciation of Asian currencies against the US dollar, particularly the RMB.

Foreign investors have shown no sign of scaling back Asian real estate investment activity, especially given the relative scarcity of investment grade properties. The combined value of the quarter’s ten largest investment deals in Asia amounted to US$9.3 billion.

In Singapore, a total of S$15.69 billion worth of investment transactions was recorded in the third quarter, a y-o-y increase of 94%, reflecting continued strong local and global investor interest in office properties as well as Singapore’s positive economic fundamentals. The main market drivers were office transactions and continued activity by developers adding to their land banks. At S$40.95 billion, total investment sales in the first nine months of 2007 have already exceeded the total for 2006 as a whole by 34%.

Investment activity in the office sector more than quadrupled q-o-q in the third quarter, with the S$6.83 billion in transactions accounting for 43.5% of investment sales. With rents at an all-time high, REITs and foreign funds remained keenly interested in prime office properties. The sale of Chevron House (formerly Caltex House) to Goldman Sachs for S$630 million (S$2,783 psf) set a new benchmark for office transactions. The sale ranked tenth in the list of the top ten largest investment deals.

CapitaLand divested its interest in Wilkie Edge, a mixed development including office space, to Capital Commercial Trust for S$182.7 million. CapitaLand also acquired the remaining 50% stake in One George Street and The Adelphi from its partner in Eureka Office Fund Pte Ltd for S$715.75 million. K-REIT and Suntec REIT each paid S$941.5 million for one-third stakes in One Raffles Quay. The deals took number 6 and 7 in the list of top ten investment deals in Q3 2007.

In the second quarter Japan’s real GDP growth fell 1.2% y-o-y, entering negative territory for the first time in three years. However, the consensus opinion is that the negative growth is largely a reaction to the high pace of expansion over the previous two quarters, and the economy is likely to expand at a moderate pace. Although the US subprime crisis influenced the Bank of Japan’s decision to keep the overnight call rate at 0.5%, the BOJ remains optimistic about the economy in most regions.

Despite some volatility resulting from the potential global credit tightening, investment market sentiment remained largely positive in Hong Kong, supported by strong economic fundamentals. Local investors continued to dominate the market while institutional players value the market’s transparency and liquidity. Notable en bloc office transactions in the third quarter included the sale of Oterprise Square for HK$2.07 billion and a 45% stake in AIG Tower in a structured deal.

Investment interest in Seoul’s major districts remained intense in the third quarter, with many investors seeking properties through transactions due to the limited supply of buildings on the market. However the sales of Seoul City Tower and Daewoo Center, both located in the CBD, established new benchmarks for capital values. With the steep rise in capital values in major districts, investors increasingly considered opportunities in secondary areas including Sangam Digital Media City, Pangyo IT Valley and Bundang-gu.

The series of macro-economic and regulatory measures introduced to curb investment activity through the end of June 2007 did not lead to any significant reduction in interest among overseas investors in China.

In Beijing, Singapore-based serviced residence management firm Frasers Hospitality bought a luxury residential project, Tower D of OFFICE PARK, located in the core CBD from Sino-Ocean Land Holdings for RMB 980 million. Czech real estate investor ECM bought the 768,485 sf Metropolis Tower, which is Tower C of the Zhongguancun Financial Centre, for RMB 1.06 billion.

Despite additional government measures to curb foreign investment in real estate, Shanghai’s investment market remained buoyant in the third quarter. China Real Estate Opportunities invested approximately US$708 million to acquire a portfolio of mixed-use projects including City Centre in Changning and Central Plaza in Huangpu, and Hong Kong-listed Tian An China Investments and Capital Strategic Investment established a JV to acquire Novel Plaza for US$105 million. Other major deals included Grosvenor’s acquisition of 28 duplex apartments at the Lakeville Regency and Pacific Star and SEB’s purchase of Cross Tower.

Despite continuing macroeconomic control measures, positive sentiment prevailed in Guangzhou’s investment market in the third quarter. Attractive investment yields underpinned investor interest in the city’s office and retail sectors. Increased overseas participation in land acquisition and development and the growing financial strength of domestic companies have resulted in escalating land prices, as record accommodation values were paid in a number of districts over the quarter. A villa project adjacent to Nanhu Lake was reportedly transacted for RMB 2 billion on an en bloc basis.

Juliet Cohen asked:


Clinical depression (also called major depressive disorder, or unipolar depression when compared to bipolar disorder) is a state of intense sadness, melancholia or despair that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual’s social functioning and/or activities of daily living. Depression affects people differently. Some feel down for extended periods of time; for others the feelings of depression come and go. Depression is a mood disorder that causes you to feel sad or hopeless for an extended period of time. More than just a bout of “the blues” or temporary feelings of grief or low energy. Many people identify the feeling of being clinically depressed as “feeling sad for no reason”, or “having no motivation to do anything.” One suffering from depression may feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, and apathetic.

Clinical depression is not just grief or sadness. Clinical depression is generally acknowledged to be more serious than normal depressed feelings. It often leads to constant negative thinking and sometimes substance abuse. Extreme depression can culminate in its sufferers attempting or committing suicide. There are three main types of depression; unipolar disorder (major depression), bipolar disorder (manic depression) and dysthymia (prolonged sadness). Major depression usually strikes people between the ages of 25 and 44, although it can affect any person at any age. For most people, episodes of major depression last from six to nine months. Feelings of total indestructibility are common, and the manic person may believe for example that not even moving cars can stop him or her, or that he or she can fly. They experience delusions and hallucinations and sometimes talk so fast that their speech becomes illegible.

Causes of Clinical Depression

1. Genetic Predisposition (Hormonal imbalance ).

2. Medical conditions (Neurochemical ).

3. Dietary .

4. Alcohol and other drugs.

5. Sleep quality.

6. Certain styles of thinking.

Symptoms of Clinical Depression

1. Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability, or anxiety

2. Overreaction to irritations

3. Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, including sex

4. Sleeping too much, sleeping too little

5. Losing or gaining weight.

Treatment of Clinical Depression

Medication that relieves the symptoms of depression has been available for several decades such as citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft). Under some circumstances, medication and psychotherapy may be more effective than either treatment separately. Family of drugs includes fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), escitalopram (Lexapro), citalopram (Celexa), and sertraline (Zoloft). These antidepressants typically have fewer adverse side effects than the tricyclics or the MAOIs, although such effects as drowsiness, dry mouth, nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, decreased appetite, and decreased ability to function sexually may occur. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine (Cymbalta) are a newer form of antidepressant that works on both norepinephrine and 5-HT.Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are medications that increase the amount of the neurochemical serotonin in the brain.

Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) reuptake inhibitors (NRIs) such as reboxetine (Edronax) act via norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline). Tricyclic antidepressants are the oldest and include such medications as amitriptyline and desipramine. Tricyclics block the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and serotonin. They are used less commonly now due to the development of more selective and safer drugs. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) such as phenelzine (Nardil) may be used if other antidepressant medications are ineffective. Because there are potentially fatal interactions between this class of medication and certain foods, particularly those containing Tyramine. electroconvulsive therapy, are used in severe cases.

A professional weight loss clinic is one that helps patients with weight problems to be able to take a successful weight loss program. As most clinics function, it strives to provide for personal nutrition counseling and provide for guidelines and consultation programs as well as trained medical staff to facilitate weight loss. This is a new and specialized field in health and medicine which used to incorporated only with physical examination. Traditionally you would observe that the weight loss programs were only confined to mere height and weight measurements and a determination whether or not you fall into those who are candidates for obesity.

The first program that the professional weight loss clinic offers is to let the patient understand the challenge that one faces. It is very important in this profession to enable the patient to have a clear understanding of oneself and what one wants to achieve and be able to understand also how the entire weight loss program works. This is because there are too many people who want to lose weight and yet they do not fully comprehend what the entire program entails in order to accomplish the goal. The medical professionals in this field advise the patient on the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of the entire weight loss program.

One of the many programs that clinics like this offer is a personal nutritional counseling from an expert. Professional weight loss clinic provides for competent medical practitioners who are knowledgeable in weight reduction to provide for the dietary plan of the patient and most of them are well known nutritionists.

Ajeet Khurana asked:


The term biopsy can be taken to mean a view of life and can be taken to mean from the Greek “bio” meaning life, and “-psy” meaning vision. A biopsy is literally a look at living tissue, and is a test used to detect cancer. Any tissue or organ in the body has the potential of being be biopsied, and there are several techniques used. Some of these engage surgery, whereas others will not even engage an anesthetic. In each method, a sample of tissue is extracted from the body and studied for cancer markers, cancer cells, or unusual cell division. Each cancer has its own methods of diagnosis, but the different types of biopsies can be classed. Naturally, you should go to a reputed medical clinic to get this done. You can look up an online health directory to find information.

1) Excisional biopsy. This is a surgical removal of the possible tumor growth. In this case, either an organ or lump is excised, or cut out of the body. Excisional biopsies are used for a variety of cancer diagnoses and for different reasons in each. In osteosarcoma they are used because of the growth rate of possible tumors. Surgery will always be the first preference of biopsy in bone cancers. In lymphoma, tumors can only be examined as whole pieces to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Breast cancer another cancer-type where ordinarily surgeons prefer surgery. This will make certain any cancer diagnosis with the most accuracy.

2) Incisional Biopsy. Here only a section of the lump is removed through surgery. This type is generally used for possible soft tissue cancers.

3) Endoscopic Biopsy. This is the most preferred form of biopsy and is performed through a fibreoptic endoscope that is placed inside the organ of disruption. The doctor looking through the endoscope can view directly any abnormal sections and cut or pinch pieces of tissue with forceps. A thoroscopy for endoscopic biopsy under general anesthesia will be used for mesothelioma, a cancer of internal organ lining. The reason for this is there is simply no other methods to obtain a tissue sample. Meshothelioma is also very tough to detect through other means, and so excisional biopsy is the best course for an accurate diagnosis.

4) Fine needle aspiration is the most preferred form of biopsy today. Here a needle will be placed inside the lump and a large number of cell tissue will be drawn through a syringe. These cells will then be stained and studied by a pathologist. In this case, a diagnosis is reached at once. This kind of biopsy can even be carried out on difficult to reach organs such as the pancreas or lungs with ultrasound guided techniques. This is the preferred choice as avoiding surgery is almost always first on the wish list of the cancer specialist.

There are other forms of biopsies, but these categories are the most preferred and cover most of the major cancerous diseases. If a cancer is possible, a patient may have to go through more than one of these tests through the course of their treatment, depending on how aggressive the cancer specialist feels it is.

Specialist medical clinics are most prepared to deal with this. If you want to learn more, read web pages on the issue. These are found easily in a health directory.

Helen Hecker asked:


Medical billing is actually the process of submitting claims to insurance companies in order to receive payment for any services given by a healthcare provider. Medical billing training courses provide you with training in using software, insurance regulations, and exposure to the healthcare environment.

Medical billers are responsible for the filing and processing of medical insurance claims. They’re experts on the billing and coding process. One can work either in a medical office or in their home-based business. Those who work in a medical office make about $10 an hour.

Medical billing and coding is a career that is growing more complex every day. Coding is not usually an outsourced business whereas medical billing is. Medical billers are proficient in financial analysis, workflow and utilization of software, collections, insurance claim submission and management, patient and electronic medical records. Medical billing is better described as medical practice management and the doctor’s key to getting paid.

Billers usually work forty regular office hours from Monday through Friday on a desk in the billing office or department of the professional healthcare office. Jobs are found in billing companies, claims management organizations, doctor’s offices, hospitals, insurance companies, or medical clinics.

If you’re interested in starting a work at home medical billing business it’s good to know why 75% of beginners to home-based medical billing choose the wrong course. It may be because they fail to follow the instructions and experiences of professionals who know what they’re talking about. It’s important to mention that statistics prove that whenever you research courses or programs online you’ll become so overloaded with information that the odds of your picking the right one decreases by 12%.

Most courses should take less than two years to complete and if you want to be a nationally certified medical coder tool it can take close to that depending on the school you choose. A course shouldn’t cost more than $750. But if you decide to take courses at a local college, a specialized medical billing/coding trade school or a vocational school then it will cost more. And if the course includes classes on becoming a certified medical coder the cost will also be more.

If you need financial aid for you want to make sure to check out any offered through the school if it’s an off-campus school. Find out what aid, loans, education loans, scholarships or grants are available. There is government money readily available for online degree programs; you should be able to find this with a little research, Make sure to find out if your course or program is qualified before signing up for it.

There are many types of education loans available. You’ll want to try for the ‘free’ scholarships and grants first of course. You may be able to find some of the lesser known scholarships. So many go un-awarded every year and are held over until the next year. Make sure you apply well ahead of time. The process can be slow and often they’re looking for applications a year ahead of time. The government also has money available for small business loans if you plan to pursue a work-from-home business with your medical billing training.
