Constantin Pascu - Terapie cu Sare pentru problemele respiratorii.Salt Therapy for Respiratory Diseases
Salt Therapy for Respiratory Diseases
Constantin Pascu a realizat in anul 2000, in premiera mondiala, un aparat care purifica aerul in spatiile de locuit. Distruge bacteriile din aer, retine praful si fumul de tigara, atmosfera devenind „ca pe litoralul marin". Instalarea acestui aparat costa atunci doar 480.000 de lei. Un an mai tirziu, romanii au impresionat din nou comunitatea stiintifica mondiala: la Salonul Inventiilor de la Geneva, din aprilie 2001, Romania s-a clasat pe locul 1 in privinta numarului de premii obtinute si pe locul 2 (dupa Rusia) ca numar de inventii prezentate. In premiera mondiala, a luat premii pentru toate cele 62 de inventii prezentate (22 de premii I; 18 premii II; 22 de premii III). Delegatia romana s-a mai intors de la Geneva si cu trei premii speciale din partea delegatiilor altor tari: un premiu de creativitate, Medalia expozitiei si Diploma Salonului pentru contributia exceptionala in promovarea inventiilor.
The benefits of salt therapy (Halotherapy and Speleotherapy) are well known in Europe. In fact, it is a treatment that has been practiced in the old salt mines of Eastern Europe since the early 19th century. Halotherapy uses dry aerosol micro particles of salt to treat respiratory diseases and replicates the conditions of speleotherapy. Salin Plus, developed by a Romanian inventor, Constantin Pascu, reproduces the speleotherapy micro environment in your home and brings new hope in the natural treatment of chronic respiratory diseases.
The device is an air salinizer using forced ionization of the indoor air by salt sublimation. It places tiny salt micro crystals and negative ions of salt into the indoor air which penetrates deep into the lungs and clears the respiratory system. Salin uses only natural middle Miocene salt from the Transylvanian Praid salt mine, untreated by processing technology.
Clinical studies have shown that the inhaled saline destroys bacteria, helps fluidize the mucus, absorbs water, and has antiinflammatory properties. It restores normal transport of mucous and unclogs blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles leading to rapid elimination of the residual tar and foreign allergens.
Edema of the nasal mucous membrane is diminished, leading to widening of the airway passages, improving sinus drainage and reducing snoring. Edema of the eustachian tube, which causes ear infection, is also diminished, leading to better drainage and better aeration behind the tympanic membrane.
Additionally, the salt therapy is beneficial in the treatment of: Asthma and Chronic Bronchitis; COPD; Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever); Cystic Fibrosis; Sinusitis; Ear Infections; Smoker’s Cough; Various acute or chronic respiratory diseases.
This product has also been shown to reduce snoring and activate better sleep due to better blood oxygenation from clearer airway passages. It also boosts the immunity of the whole respiratory system against infections, flu and allergies.
Historically, salt therapy has been found to humidify the bronchial secretions, reducing broncho-spasm and facilitating elimination of residual tar, phlegm and other allergens, and at the same time improves the quality of indoor air.
Salt therapy is a natural therapy that does not involve any risk and can be adapted to any living space; however; this is not a substitute for medical treatment and should only be used as an adjunct, helping to improve quality life, reducing antibiotics, steroid intake, and decreasing the frequency of asthma attacks.

Outstanding success for Romanian IT specialists at the European IT Excellence Awards 2010
Solutia eAgricultura dezvoltata si implementata de SIVECO Romania a castigat marele premiu in categoria pietei verticale fiind desemnat "Castigatorul Premiului European de Excelenta in IT 2010"
The eAgriculture solution developed and implemented by SIVECO Romania at the Payments and Interventions Agency for Agriculture (APIA) won the big prize in the Vertical Market category
Bucharest, 1st March 2010 - One of the most important IT projects develped in Romania over the past three years, the integrated solution develped by SIVECO Romania for APIA, received the title of "Winner of the European IT Excellence Award 2010".
The jury formed of indipendent industry experts of the famous European competition announced this year's winners during the Annual Awards Gala, held in London at the end of February.
"This award is a true (and very pleasant) surprise, as competition was extremely keen. This year competed 88 companies from 16 countries.
Within the same competition, the company SIVECO Romania received the Finalist title for the implementation of the Documents Management solution at STX RO Offshore Tulcea (former AKER Tulcea) and of the SIVECO Business Analyzer solution at the National Bank of Romania.
"The jury was impressed by the quality of the applications and by the manner in which these were prepared. With finalists from 16 countries, these awards reflect clearly and broadly the IT competences in the European area", said John Chapman, Editorial Manager IT Europa.
"We are very touched and honoured every time our efforts get international recognition. One knows how objective and serious the evaluation of the jury for the European IT Excellence Award competition is, which is the value of the competitors and of the projects they have presented. From hundreds of projects we are developing, both in Romania and in countries on four continents, the IT system in APIA is one of the most difficult ones, for which we have made huge efforts, but which were concluded with extraordinary results. This project's complexity lies not only in the management of huge numbers resulting in subsidies from EU and national funds granted to over 1 million farmers, but also in the responsibilities proprotionate to the deep social impact that such a project implies", said Irina Socol, President and General manager of SIVECO Romania.
In 2008, SIVECO Romania received the title of winner for the quality of implementation and for the impact of the SEI project (the IT-based Education System), another milestone achievement of the company, but also of the Romanian IT.
