NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In consideration of the decrease in proper oral health care amid the pandemic, Belle Meade Family Dentistry now offers state-of-the-art periodontal treatment using minimally invasive laser dentistry, with or without a referral in Nashville, TN. Dr. James Pace Sr., Dr. Temp Sullivan, and Dr. James Pace Jr. consider maintaining a strong immune system more important than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research indicates people across the country have neglected seeking medical care due to the outbreak with an increasing number of untreated serious health conditions. Experts say this has resulted in devastating consequences, although these are harder to measure than that of the pandemic.

Gum recession, bleeding gums, loose teeth, and bad breath are common signs of periodontal disease. The WPT™ laser procedure has revolutionized the way the dentists at Belle Meade Family Dentistry treat patients with gum disease. Innovative laser dentistry enhances the ability to perform in-office treatments such as deep cleanings and scaling and root planing. Laser-assisted treatment offers more precision when removing diseased tissues and harmful bacteria. In the hands of the skilled dentists at this practice, laser dentistry enables shorter appointments and less pain while reducing the risk of gum disease progression and infection more effectively than traditional methods.

Left untreated, gum disease can have a negative impact on immune system health and lead to serious diseases. A number of studies link periodontal disease to systemic diseases including respiratory disease, heart disease, cognitive impairment, metabolic syndrome/diabetes, some types of cancer, and pregnancy complications.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Belle Meade Family Dentistry implemented sanitation safety protocols recommended by the CDC to help prevent its spread and maintain the health of their patients and staff. They also limit the number of patients in the office at the same time.

For those who have noticed signs of gum disease, delaying treatment can cause cascading health effects. Rest assured, patient safety and comfort is the number one mission at Belle Meade Family Dentistry. To benefit from tomorrow’s dentistry today, call 615-298-2030 to schedule an appointment.

HONG KONG, Dec. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited (Nasdaq: CLWT) today reported its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 («1H 2020») was approximately US$869,000 as compared to net loss of approximately US$280,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 («1H 2019»). This was attributed by the non-recurrent net gain on disposal of a property of approximately US$1,429,000.

The adverse impact of COVID-19 coupled with the China-US escalating trade war and technology tensions, and the ongoing social unrest in Hong Kong resulted in a 35.1% decrease of revenues from approximately US$8,815,000 for 1H 2019 to approximately US$5,718,000 for 1H 2020. Revenues from trading and manufacturing activities, and engineering activities decreased by US$1,426,000 and US$1,671,000, respectively.

Gross profits decreased by 20.5% to approximately US$1,619,000 for 1H 2020 as compared to approximately US$2,036,000 for 1H 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the drop in revenues.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by approximately US$171,000 to US$2,341,000 for 1H 2020 as compared to approximately US$2,512,000 for 1H 2019, in spite of the severance pay of approximately US$117,000 related to the scale-down of its loss-making manufacturing operation. The decrease was principally due to tight control over expenses.

Operating loss increased by 52.5% to approximately US$726,000 for 1H 2020 as compared to approximately US$476,000 for 1H 2019. This was primarily due to the decrease in revenues.

The Company expects that its operating performance will continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19. However, the Company is still positive about the future Ballast Water Treatment Systems («BWTS») business from port services and commercial ships. The Company’s first ballast water port solution system has recently been delivered to its Shanghai port client. As the first pioneer to commence on commercial ballast water port reception treatment service in the Asia Pacific region, the Company is currently working on a number of enquiries from China, Southeast Asia and Europe. To comply with the International Maritime Organization («IMO») revised G8 requirements, the Company obtained a BWTS revised G8 test report already from a third party ballast water conformity assessment laboratory (with China National Accreditation Service qualification), and is now undergoing China Classification Society’s internal procedure of issuing the revised G8 type approval certificate.

About BWTS

BWTS are an imminent requirement by IMO to prevent the biological unbalance caused by the estimated 12 billion tons of ballast water transported across the seas by ocean-going vessels when their ballast water tanks are emptied or refilled. In 2012, ballast water discharge standard became a law in the US. Any vessel constructed in December 2013 or later will need to comply when entering US waters, and existing vessels will follow shortly after. IMO’s Ballast Water Management Convention entered into force for new-built vessels on September 8, 2017 after ratification by 52 States, representing 35.1441% of world merchant shipping tonnage. In July 2017, IMO decided that the phase-in period for ballast water system retrofits started on 8 September 2019. 

The company obtained type approval certificate from China’s Classification Society for its 200, 300, 500, 750, 1200 and 1250 Cubic Meters per hour BWTS and Alternate Management Systems (‘AMS») acceptance for its full range BWTS in 2016.

The IMO convention stipulates that type approval for revised G8 requirements must be obtained for all BWTS installed on or after October 28, 2020.

The ballast water port solution system is a system installed in port to offer ballast water treatment services for ocean going ships without their own BWTS and for those with damaged BWTS.
