2012-11-27
LONDON, ENGLAND, November 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) New Look is to launch a competition in the build-up to Christmas and it's another chance for bloggers to show how stylish they really are.

The competition, Shape Up for Christmas, will celebrate five beautiful shapes identified by the modern woman. The five shapes: Pear-Shape, Straight Up & Down, Apple, Plus Size and Hour Glass give opportunity for a rich diversity of figures to show themselves in the best shimmering light.

For style inspiration, entrants are offered the New Look Celebrity Shape Up Style Guide, with a much-loved and much-admired celebrity showcasing each shape at its best.

Entrants will have the range of New Look party dresses to pick and choose from. However, bloggers will also be expected to experiment and assemble chic outfits, not only from New Look's party dresses, but with items from their women's shoes and accessories collections so that each outfit has stand-out, stylish appeal.

The party dresses offered by New Look will showcase the season's starry-eyed obsession with glimmering gowns, perfect for the party season. The focus will be on the creativity behind each outfit. It's a chance for bloggers to reveal their stylish skills and for the female shape to take centre stage in all its fabulous forms.

All entrants are asked to do is leave their names, main contact email address and URL of their blog post in the comments section below.

Getting social is a large part of this competition - sharing and swapping inspiration builds colour and life to all outfits. To keep the buzz back and forth, entrants can use the hashtag #NLBloggercomp to promote their entry.

The competition closes on Monday the 17th December and winners will be announced in a new blog post on Wednesday 21st December.

Emergency Preparedness: A New Revelation in Skin Care Treatment for the Effects of Climate Change

2012-11-27
In a recent study released by the Surdna Foundation, most North Americans are aware of the global climate changes brought on by extreme weather now happening across North America.

Frivilous Lawsuit Backfires Big Time

2012-11-27
Sarasota attorney Dennis Plews and his clients, a Bradenton woman and an Osprey man, are facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in sanctions and costs from the former Chief Circuit Judge in Sarasota. Judge Lee Haworth ruled that a lawsuit Plews filed against Jeffrey Luhrsen in 2009 was "grasping at air," and ordered Plews to personally pay Luhrsen's attorney's fees, which court papers indicate are about $300,000.00. Plews' clients, Jeanester Bryant and Jack LaRoe, must pay Luhrsen tens of thousands in costs, but they have even bigger problems. Both are facing ...

Drugs limiting excess mucus could save lives

Drugs limiting excess mucus could save lives
2012-11-26
Respiratory conditions that restrict breathing such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common killers worldwide. But no effective treatments exist to address the major cause of death in these conditions – excess mucus production. "There is good evidence that what kills people with severe COPD or asthma is mucus obstructing the airway," says Michael J. Holtzman, MD, the Selma and Herman Seldin Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "It's a huge unmet medical problem and is only increasing in this country ...

Grapefruit–medication interactions increasing

2012-11-26
The number of prescription drugs that can have serious adverse effects from interactions with grapefruit are markedly increasing, yet many physicians may be unaware of these effects, states an article published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). The article, a review by the researchers who discovered the interactions more than 20 years ago, summarizes evidence to help clinicians better understand the serious effects this common food can have when consumed with certain prescription drugs. "Many of the drugs that interact with grapefruit are highly prescribed ...

Risk of hemorrhage from warfarin higher in clinical practice than clinical trials show

2012-11-26
Rates of hemorrhage for older patients on warfarin therapy are much higher than rates reported in clinical trials, found a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). "The rate of hemorrhage in our study is considerably higher than those reported in randomized controlled trials of warfarin therapy, which have ranged between 1% and 3% per person-year," writes lead author Tara Gomes, Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), Toronto, with coauthors. Warfarin, a commonly used blood thinner, is used to treat patients with atrial fibrillation ...

Federal government and big pharma seen as increasingly diminished source of research funding

2012-11-26
In a commentary to be published in the Dec. 12 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, two Johns Hopkins faculty members predict an ever-diminishing role for government and drug company funding of basic biomedical research and suggest scientists look to "innovative" kinds of private investment for future resources. Current negotiations in Washington over sequestration and the so-called "fiscal cliff" provide an opportunity to fundamentally rethink the funding of biomedical research, they say. Pointing to a decade of flat government funding for biomedical ...

Researchers identify cause of anethesia-associated seizures

2012-11-26
Antifibrinolytic drugs are frequently used to prevent blood loss during surgery, but sometimes cause convulsive seizures. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Beverly Orser at the University of Toronto investigated the molecular mechanisms that underlie this side effect. By studying antifibrinolytics in mice, Orser and colleagues found that the drugs inhibited the activity of glycine receptors in the brain, leading to seizures. Seizures could be prevented by co-treatment with the general anesthetic isoflurane. This study explains the ...

Bariatric surgical procedures have similar therapeutic benefits in obese adults

2012-11-26
Obesity is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, both of which can be significantly improved by weight loss. Gastric bypass and adjustable gastric banding are two bariatric surgery techniques that are frequently used to effect weight loss in obese patients, but it is unclear if the two procedures produce different outcomes. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Samuel Klein at the University of Washington School of Medicine in St. Louis compared the effects of 20% weight loss induced by either gastric bypass or adjustable ...
