Study Highlights Need For Increased Cancer Screening Among Men, According To New York Mesothelioma Lawyer

Posted on January 28, 2012 by


New York, NY (PRWEB) January 28, 2012

A recent study published in the American Journal of Mens Health showing that men are more reluctant than women to get screened for cancer highlights the need for increased cancer awareness efforts among males particularly considering their higher death rate from the disease, according to New York mesothelioma lawyer Joseph Belluck.

Men must take the time to get regular checkups that include simple cancer screening procedures. Getting at least X-rays is important. Their health and lives depends on it, Belluck said.

Bellucks New York personal injury law firm, Belluck & Fox, LLP, focuses on mesothelioma litigation.

The firm has secured more than $ 450 million in compensation for its clients and their families, including mesothelioma verdicts of $ 32 million and $ 19.5 million in the Supreme Court of New York in August 2011 (Dummitt v. A.W. Chesterton, et al., No. 190196/10, and Konstantin v. 630 Third Avenue Associates, et al., No. 090134).

Belluck said his firms work with mesothelioma clients has shown him what a key role early detection can play in a patients prognosis. Mesothelioma is a lethal form of cancer. The only known cause of the disease is exposure to asbestos fibers.

Because so many men have worked in jobs that put them in contact with cancer-causing asbestos, it is crucial that they get regular health assessments, including appropriate X-rays and cancer tests, Belluck said.

According to the results of the study, Gender Differences in Cancer Screening Beliefs, Behaviors, and Willingness to Participate: Implications for Health Promotion, men are less willing to be screened for cancer than women are. In fact, more than 40 percent of American males have never undergone cancer screening, as compared to just 5 percent of females.

The report cited a series of factors that could contribute to mens poor showing when it comes to getting screened for cancer. Some issues include:

Oak Solution Discover that More People are Improving Their Bathrooms With Solid Oak Bathroom Furniture to Help Them De-clutter and De-stress in These Negative Times

Posted on January 28, 2012 by financial advice


Preston, UK (PRWEB UK) 21 December 2011

Bathrooms should be a haven of peace and tranquility, somewhere that you can get ready for the day ahead or relax and unwind after the one before it. And in these times of the credit crunch, it has never been more important to have a place in the home that has been fine tuned for relaxation and revitalisation.

The bathroom lends itself well to contemporary style. Its cool, smooth surfaces, sculptural fittings, and highly engineered plumbing combine to create an environment of calm and order which, for many of us, is difficult to maintain elsewhere in the home, especially in the current economic climate.

A recent survey conducted by Oak Solution revealed that no less than 83% of homeowners admitted that their bathroom was cluttered, largely by shampoo bottles, laundry and grooming equipment. Around 75% of which also agreed that purchasing storage based furnishings for their bathroom would allow them to tidy up their clutter and make their bathrooms a much more pleasant place to unwind.

The demand for bathroom furniture (especially solid oak bathroom furniture) is ever increasing and as a result, Oak Solution offer a variety of products to give your washroom a stunning, modern look.

Nadeem, Director at Oak Solution stated:

“All of our products are designed to offer convenient storage solutions creating essential space in your bathroom as well as a variety of options from our oak, painted or dark wood furniture ranges.”

Mr Worthington, a recent customer of Oak Solution, bought a whole range of solid oak bathroom furniture from the award winning Conran Solid Oak Furniture Range:

“A few years ago I would never have thought of buying solid oak bathroom furniture. I always felt these type of items were for my living room or lounge. Now I guess times have changed. We now see the bathroom as a place of relaxation and peace and this has to be reflected in its setting. The tall solid oak bathroom unit allows us to store away all our essentials neatly and tidily and this is perfectly complimented with the solid oak laundry bin to throw in our clothes.”

Currently at Oak Solution you will find a variety of bathroom furniture including storage units, mirrored cabinets and laundry bins. The designers and product development team at Oak Solution are looking to expand on their bathroom furniture portfolio, so expect to see the selections being increased over the coming months including a new exciting range consisting of solid oak washstands to house your bathroom sink and tap.

SittingAround Launches New Babysitter Vetting and Booking Site

Posted on January 28, 2012 by


Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

For millions of parents, the ever-present stress of finding and scheduling a sitter is about to become a thing of the past.

SittingAround is launching a first-of-its-kind marketplace for vetting, booking, and sharing babysitters. SittingArounds Sitter Marketplace takes a modern approach to childcare, leveraging existing social networks to create trust. Parents can build their own robust networks of babysitters and book those babysitters directly on the site.

As soon as you become a parent, finding a babysitter completely controls your social calendar, says Erica Zidel, SittingAround Founder and CEO. Our goal at SittingAround is to end that. By revolutionizing the way parents both find and schedule sitters, we are going to remove the phrase ‘if I can find a babysitter’ from the parenting experience.

The SittingAround Sitter Marketplace is the first online sitter tool that utilizes parents and sitters existing relationships (e.g. friends on Facebook, connections on LinkedIn) to pass trust along the social graph. Gone are the days of picking up the phone and asking your neighbor for a referral. Now, you can see who she would recommend just by logging in. The Sitter Marketplace also removes the need to hunt down individual babysitters to check their schedules. A unique and easy-to-use calendar allows sitters to post real-time availability.

Until now, babysitting technology hasn’t caught up with how we live the rest of our lives, says Zidel. SittingAround is giving babysitting a much-needed modernization.

Part of that modernization means making it easy and affordable for sitters and parents to make sure others are who they claim to be. SittingAround has partnered with leading employment screening provider, TalentWise, to provide initial background checks to all users free of charge.

The SittingAround Sitter Marketplace officially launched this week in six cities: New York, Boston, DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Seattle. Sitters in the six launch cities have been quietly allowed to request an account since December, and SittingAround boasts a waitlist of over 1,000 sitters in these markets. While not officially launched in other locations yet, the Sitter Marketplace is open for anyone to sign up.

About SittingAround

SittingAround, founded in 2011, is a provider of network-based babysitting solutions with a presence across the United States, Canada, UK, and Australia. SittingAround was honored by the White House in 2011 as a company that is winning the future through innovation and was featured on the December cover of Entrepreneur Magazine.
