IRVINE, CA, November 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) The law firm of Bond & Taylor is warning consumers of a study linking popular type 2 diabetes medication, Actos , to bladder cancer. This newest study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute was contributed by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Researchers found that patients taking thiazolidinedione (TZD) drugs such as Actos (Pioglitazone) were two to three times more likely to develop bladder cancer than patients who took sulfonylurea drugs. This is especially disturbing news because TZDs are prescribed to an estimated 20% of diabetes patients today.
This study reinforces government regulators' opinions. In June 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released a warning to consumers that Actos was under review for safety concerns. The FDA stated that based on a ten year meta study of Actos patients, consumers who took Actos for a year or longer were as much as 40% more likely to suffer from bladder cancer. According to the FDA, an estimated 2.35 million Americans filled a prescription for Actos last year alone, and over 15 million prescriptions are written for this type 2 diabetes drug worldwide.
According to the National Cancer Institute, there are an estimated 70,530 cases of bladder cancer in the U.S. each year and 14,680 deaths. These numbers could rise significantly based upon Actos performance in recent studies. Bond & Taylor is encouraging patients taking Actos to review potential side effects with their doctor. Should a patient develop bladder cancer, the law firm of Bond & Taylor would like to offer a free consultation to discuss eligibility for compensation.

Customer Service Techniques: Convenience Has Trained Us to Expect Too Little
2012-11-02
Sadly, in today's e-commerce climate, we have come to expect very little as consumers. While the amount of effort we put into that "hard-earned dollar" is the same, the amount of appreciation of where we spend it has been greatly devalued. It is easy to understand how this happened: the ability and convenience to shop a million stores--all at a mouse click, combined with our attention being grabbed and thrown from paid advertisements to pop-ups. We get that. What is not easy to understand is how, as a society, we have come to accept it.
The term 'customer ...

How race and touchdown celebrations affect football player rewards
2012-11-01
The post-touchdown celebration is a familiar part of many football games. However, new research from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University suggests that black players may be more likely than white players to be penalized for putting their feelings on display.
As a part of the study, Kellogg Ph.D. candidate Erika V. Hall and Professor Robert Livingston first analyzed all of the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties by NFL athletes during the entire 2010-2011 NFL season. Unsportsmanlike conduct includes the excessive celebration penalty. They found that ...
