NEW YORK, NY, June 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) Although employment rates are on the rise, many consumers are still wary to increase spending on luxury items. A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle observes a large reduction of discretionary spending. A recent Consumer Insights Panel, conducted by Emphatica, Inc., reveals what types of purchases shoppers have cut back on the most. What the study found was that most people avoid making purchased in electronics, fine dining and furniture. It also revealed that people are not as willing to make cuts in their pharmaceutical, grocery and gas purchases. Terry Yon, owner of TYA Pharmaceuticals, is not surprised by these trends, as pharmacies provide necessities to maintain health.
The San Francisco Chronicle states "The survey also found that one in four consumers are cutting spending on pharmaceuticals, with 60 percent spending the same and 15 percent actually spending more." One explanation is that people are simply becoming more health-focused and avoiding unnecessary purchases to avoid more costly events in the future. Terry Yon connects these trends with the supply and demand rates at pharmacies, since many people rely on prescriptions for an extended amount of time.
Patients that rely on insulin for diabetes, antidepressants or birth control are all examples of routine prescriptions that can not be eliminated merely to save money; that action would result in devastating health consequences that could far outweigh the cost of the actual medication.
The article also references the differences in discretionary spending between age groups. Younger consumers, such as those between 18 and 24, are concerned with purchases that supply immediate satisfaction, whereas citizens over the age 60 are more familiar with economic struggles and are more conservative with their spending.
Terry Yon connects this trend to pharmaceuticals, and says that retired persons are more likely to rely on medication, where younger people are typically healthier and have had to spend large amounts of money on prescriptions.
Terry Yon has also researched consumer trends that reveal an even greater reluctance among consumers to cut back on pharmaceutical spending. For Yon, the cause of these trends is a simple matter of survival. "Gas for travel, food for life and drugs for health will remain the top three categories in salaries outgo. People must have transportation, food and take care of their health."

UC Davis scientists find new role for P53 genetic mutation -- initiation of prostate cancer
2012-06-08
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — A team of UC Davis investigators has found that a genetic mutation may play an important role in the development of prostate cancer. The mutation of the so-called p53 (or Tp53) gene was previously implicated in late disease progression, but until now has never been shown to act as an initiating factor. The findings may open new avenues for diagnosing and treating the disease.
The study was published online in the journal Disease Models & Mechanisms and will appear in the November 2012 print edition in an article titled, "Initiation of prostate ...
Stanford researchers help predict the oceans of the future with a mini-lab
2012-06-08
Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment researchers have helped open a new door of possibility in the high-stakes effort to save the world's coral reefs.
Working with an international team, the scientists – including Stanford Woods Institute Senior Fellows Jeff Koseff, Rob Dunbar and Steve Monismith – found a way to create future ocean conditions in a small lab-in-a-box in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The water inside the device can mimic the composition of the future ocean as climate change continues to alter Earth.
Inside the mini-lab, set in shallow water ...
Mystery to the origin of long-lived, skin-deep immune cells uncovered
2012-06-08
Scientists at A*STAR's Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN) uncovered the origin of a group of skin-deep immune cells that act as the first line of defence against harmful germs and skin infections. SIgN scientists discovered that these sentry cells of the skin, called the Langerhans cells (LCs), originate from two distinct embryonic sites - the early yolk sac and the foetal liver.
LCs are dendritic cells (DCs) found in the outermost layer of the skin. DCs are a critical component of the immune system because they are the only cells able to 'see' and 'alert' other responding ...
Virgin male moths think they're hot when they're not
2012-06-08
SALT LAKE CITY, June 6, 2012 – Talk about throwing yourself into a relationship too soon.
A University of Utah study found that when a virgin male moth gets a whiff of female sex attractant, he's quicker to start shivering to warm up his flight muscles, and then takes off prematurely when he's still too cool for powerful flight. So his headlong rush to reach the female first may cost him the race.
The study illustrates the tradeoff between being quick to start flying after a female versus adequately warming up the flight muscles before starting the chase. Until the ...
