RICHMOND, VA, April 10, 2012 (Press-News.org) Just in time for spring, Solartex Sun Gear, Inc. is pleased to announce its new line of all-natural, chemical-free sunscreens.

Co-founded by Lisa Dewey and Laurie Whitman, the Virginia-based Solartex has long set the industry standard for state-of-the-art protection from the sun. Today, Solartex is the premier source for SPF Clothing, providing rash guards and plus size swim shirts for men and women, along with kid's swim shirts and toddler rash guards. The clothing's 50+SPF sun protection is great for both children and adults, with sizes ranging from baby / infant to kids to plus size 8x.

The new line of sunscreen is in keeping with Solartex's tradition. The sunscreens are free of many of the toxins found in common drugstore sunscreens; safe sun block for adults, kids and babies. It's one more innovative offering from a company that has been promoting child safety and better health awareness since Dewey and Whitman joined forces to launch in 1998.

"We started Solartex to provide Australian UV swimwear to customers in the U.S.," Dewey said. "I wanted the best for my kids. I want the best for any Solartex customer."

Solartex offers a variety of sunscreens including mineral based Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide sunscreens by Blue Lizard, Badger and Mexitan - Tropical Sands. For 2012, Solartex has added dermatologist recommended Cotz sunscreens. There's also sunscreen for sensitive faces and skin, face sticks, sunblock by Solrx and lip balms. The selection of natural sunblocks and organic sunscreens include Badger, Cotz and Tropical Sands (Mexitan), which are safe and effective without harsh chemicals. Solartex provides face, lip, and bug protection with its natural, chemical-free sunscreens.

These chemical free sunscreens are also highly rated by the Environmental Working Group in their 2011 Sunscreen Guide of the safest and best sunscreens. After reviewing the evidence, EWG "determined that mineral sunscreens have the best safety profile of today's choices. They are stable in sunlight and do not appear to penetrate the skin. They offer UVA protection, which is sorely lacking in most of today's sunscreen products." Offering the safest and most effective mineral based natural sunscreens is part of Solartex's continued effort to get the word out about child safety and make it easier for parents to protect themselves and their kids. The firm has gained recognition as well, with positive news stories about its SPF swimwear and flotation swimsuits for children.

Reimbursements Are Top Concern of Providers in Breast Imaging

2012-04-10
In a new KLAS study, "Women's Imaging 2012: Tomosynthesis Makes a Splash," Hologic leads as the number one vendor in digital mammography. Combined with a strong digital mammography product and excellent service, tomosynthesis helps Hologic solidify their leadership position in the space. Tomosynthesis lives up to the hype, but KLAS found that there are still some issues to be ironed out with the newly approved technology. For those upgrading to tomosynthesis, the high cost is something to consider, especially because reimbursements continue to be cut for screening. ...

Reputation Changer: Travel Industry Faces Dire Need for Reputation Services

2012-04-10
For those who love to travel, the Internet is an increasingly prominent tool. Travelers use the Web, including social networks, to book their hotels and even to buy plane tickets. What is more, many travelers also use the Web to share their thoughts on different travel accommodations, whether they are offering an airline recommendation or a full review of a particular hotel.

In fact, more and more hotels are seeking protection against ...

Detecting breast cancer's fingerprint in a droplet of blood

2012-04-10
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. The earlier cancer is detected, the better the chance of successful treatment and long-term survival. However, early cancer diagnosis is still challenging as testing by mammography remains cumbersome, costly, and in many cases, cancer can only be detected at an advanced stage. A team based in the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine has developed a new microfluidics-based microarray that could one day radically change how and when cancer is diagnosed. Their ...

New index identifies periods when global stock markets might decline

2012-04-10
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Researchers have found a way to measure the likelihood of global stock market losses by identifying periods in which shocks may be more likely to spread across many national markets. This "fragility index" identifies periods in which international equity markets are more susceptible to widespread pull-backs by identifying common risk exposures. The index identifies when systemic risk exposure is high in markets across multiple countries, and shows an increasing probability of a global stock market draw-down. For example, the likelihood of a global ...

African Americans more likely to blog than whites and Latinos

2012-04-10
The blogging community is more racially diverse than one might think. Internet-connected African Americans are more likely to blog than their white and Hispanic counterparts, according to new research from the University of California, Berkeley. While African Americans as a whole are less likely to afford laptops and personal computers, Internet-savvy blacks, on average, blog one and a half times to nearly twice as much as whites, while Hispanics blog at the same rate as whites, according to a study published in the March online issue of the journal, Information, Communication ...

Clinical news alert from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

2012-04-10
Airport security screening has increased substantially during the past decade, while joint replacement procedures also continue to rise. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), in 2009, nearly 300,000 total hip replacements (THR) were performed in the United States. A new study, "Detection of Total Hip Prostheses at Airport Security Checkpoints: How Has Heightened Security Affected Patients," appearing in the April 4, 2012 issue of the JBJS, provides an analysis of current security measures on patients who have had a THR. A consecutive ...

Recovery from propofol anesthesia may be sped by use of common stimulant

2012-04-10
The ability of the commonly used stimulant methylphenidate (Ritalin) to speed recovery from general anesthesia appears to apply both to the inhaled gas isoflurane, as previously reported, and to the intravenous drug propofol. Members of the same Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) research team that reported the isoflurane study are publishing similar results for propofol in the May issue of Anesthesiology, and their paper has been issued online. "Propofol is the most widely used intravenous general anesthetic, and there is currently no way to reverse its effects," ...

Notre Dame researchers using novel method to combat malaria drug resistance

2012-04-10
Researchers from the University of Notre Dame's Eck Institute for Global Health developed a "gene chip" to contribute to the identification of malaria drug resistance, an effort that will allow for real-time response in modified treatment strategies for this devastating disease. The new discovery is described in a paper appearing in the latest early online edition of the journal Science. The team of researchers includes Notre Dame's Michael Ferdig, associate professor of biological sciences and doctoral student Becky Miller along with John Tan, managing director of the ...

History of abandoned urban sites found stored in soil

2012-04-10
April 5, 2012 - Old houses and vacant lots may not look like much to the naked eye, but to some, the site is better than gold. Excavations over the years can create a challenge to study what's left behind and often appears as if dirt and debris ended up mixed in a blender then pressed by a giant trash compactor. However, in Detroit, one scientist and geologist is finding some of the city's abandoned lots provide a surprising "natural laboratory" for studying certain processes involved in soil formation; particularly the weathering of rocky and mineral objects within ...
