BOLTON, ENGLAND, June 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) With millions of Brits due to head off on their annual summer holiday over the next couple of months, Parcel2Go has reminded people to make sure their pre-holiday internet purchases don't get lost in the mail.
Sunglasses, toiletries, bikinis, books and digital cameras will all be bought online in their thousands over the coming weeks as people get ready to head for the sun. But Bolton-based online parcel delivery firm has called on consumers to only make purchases though websites that offer delivery through reliable courier companies if they want their goods to turn up as expected.
"It sounds simple, but it's amazing how many people forget to check that their goods will be shipped with a trustworthy courier firm when they buy online," said Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go.
"The best companies will allow customers to choose to have their items shipped with the leading firms in the business - companies like Parcel Force, FedEx and City Link. It is these companies that have the necessary experience to make sure that holiday purchases arrive on time. After all, there's no point in having your new camera waiting for you when you return from holiday!"
An increasing number of online retailers have now realised the benefit of offering their customers delivery solutions from the industry's top firms, including businesses that trade through online auction and retailer websites such as eBay.
"Demand for cheap, fast and reliable courier services has never been greater, but it is still up to consumers to ensure they do business with firms that make these delivery services available as standard," Richard added.

New Findings On Astronaut Vision Loss
2012-06-30
Could vision changes experienced by astronauts be linked to a vitamin B-12 or folate deficiency? While investigating the vision changes recently identified in astronauts, nutritional assessment data showed similarities to symptoms that occur with vitamin deficiencies, according to a new study published in the March edition of The Journal of Nutrition.
Approximately 20 percent of astronauts living on the International Space Station have reported post-flight vision changes. Previous research, published in the October 2011 issue of Ophthalmology, identified a possible ...

Success of fertility treatment may approach natural birth rate
2012-06-29
EAST LANSING, Mich. — A groundbreaking study of nearly 250,000 U.S. women reveals live birth rates approaching natural fertility can be achieved using assisted reproductive technology, where eggs are removed from a woman's ovaries, combined with sperm and then returned to the woman's body.
The research, led by Michigan State University's Barbara Luke and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, highlights what factors help or hinder getting pregnant using assisted reproductive technology, or ART. The results indicate that when there are favorable patient and ...

NASA observes the Waldo Canyon Fire, Colorado
2012-06-29
NASA satellites continue to provide coverage of the smoke and heat signatures generated from wildfires raging in the western United States. The Waldo Canyon Fire is threatening populated areas, and is located near Colorado Springs, Colo.
The Waldo Canyon Fire was discovered on June 23, 2012, burning in Pike National Forest near Colorado Springs, Colorado. By June 27, it had burned 15,517 acres (6,280 hectares), was 5 percent contained, and had forced at least 32,000 people to evacuate their homes.
Don Savage, retired from NASA and residing in Colorado, captured photographs ...
New animal model for rheumatoid arthritis
2012-06-29
(CHICAGO) - Researchers at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine have created the first animal model that spontaneously develops rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is predisposed towards atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.
This model is considered of critical importance because patients with RA are at increased risk for heart attack and other premature cardiovascular events, but scientists don't know why.
"Generally, people with RA die because of cardiovascular disease," said Harris Perlman, associate professor of rheumatology at Feinberg, who ...
Concerns over cost of dengue vaccine lessened with new study
2012-06-29
Research funded by the Dengue Vaccine Initiative (DVI) involving an economic analysis of producing a tetravalent dengue vaccine shows that the cost could be as low as $0.20 per dose with an annual production level of 60 million doses packaged in ten-dose vials. The study used data on a vaccine developed by US NIH and the facilities of the Instituto Butantan in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
These findings, published in the July 6, 2012 edition of Vaccine, should provide confidence to ministries of health that they can aggressively plan for the inclusion of dengue vaccine in their ...
Mayo Clinic uses new approach to reverse multiple sclerosis in mice models
2012-06-29
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have successfully used smaller, folded DNA molecules to stimulate regeneration and repair of nerve coatings in mice that mimic multiple sclerosis (MS). They say the finding, published today in the journal PLoS ONE, suggests new possible therapies for MS patients.
"The problem has been to find a way to encourage the nervous system to regenerate its own myelin (the coating on the nerves) so nerve cells can recover from an MS attack," says L. James Maher III, Ph.D., Mayo Clinic biochemist and senior author on the paper. "We ...
Probing the roots of depression by tracking serotonin regulation at a new level
2012-06-29
In a process akin to belling an infinitesimal cat, scientists have managed to tag a protein that regulates the neurotransmitter serotonin with tiny fluorescent beads, allowing them to track the movements of single molecules for the first time.
The capability, which took nearly a decade to achieve, makes it possible to study the dynamics of serotonin regulation at a new level of detail, which is important because of the key role that serotonin plays in the regulation of mood, appetite and sleep.
The achievement was reported by an interdisciplinary team of Vanderbilt scientists ...
Sensitive test helps improve vaccine safety
2012-06-29
Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi) is the causative agent of typhoid fever, a serious health threat resulting in some 22 million new cases yearly and approximately 217,000 fatalities. A number of novel vaccine candidates using live attenuated strains of Salmonella are being developed, but care must be taken to ensure the bacteria are not excreted into the environment following vaccination.
Karen Brenneman and her colleagues at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute have been examining ways to detect the presence of S. Typhi in stool following inoculation with various ...
