Posted by author1 on Mar 5, 2010 in Uncategorized

In the event that you feel you might be a victim of advanced cancer on account of medical malpractice  confer as soon as possible with a cancer attorney for advanced prostate cancer and various kinds of cancers such as metastatic breast cancer, metastatic colon cancer and metastatic cervical cancer.  As an example, consider the following review of a reported lawsuit of a patient diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer whereas his physician had data highly suggestive of cancer for from one to three years prior to the man’s diagnosis.  The malpractice claim was based on the allegation of a delay of between 1 and 3 years in diagnosing the man’s cancer.

Three years prior to his diagnosis the man’s PSA had only been a 2.35 (in the normal range) but his doctor found a slight firmness on the left portion of the prostate.  The doctor did nothing then to educate the patient of this or to rule cancer out as the cause of the abnormal examination of the gland.  Then eleven months before his diagnosis the patient’s doctor ordered a PSA test which had a result that was elevated at 4.18 although this time he noted nothing abnormal on the physical examination of the prostate.  Again, however, the doctor took no action.  It was three years following the initial finding that the man’s physician at last referred him to a Urologist (who diagnosed the cancer) after a PSA of 6.8.  By the time of the diagnosis, it turned out\ the the man had prostate cancer metastasis outside the gland. The man pursued a malpractice claim against his family doctor for the delayed diagnosis of the cancer.The law firm that represented the plaintiff revealed that a settlement was reached with the doctor. The settlement happened over seven years following the person’s diagnosis and he had not had a recurrence of the cancer up to that time.The reported sum of the settlement was $500,000.

The preceeding is not intended to be taken as medical advice.  It is also not legal advice.  It is only meant to be basic information.  Should you have any health concerns check with a physician without delay.

A History of Antique Jewellery

Posted by author1 on Mar 3, 2010 in Uncategorized

Antique jewellery is a popular choice with the discerning buyer. This article describes how antique jewellery varied in different eras and was influenced by the culture and fashion of that time, each period having its own individual characteristics.

Late Georgian Jewellery (1760-1837) – This was an era of worldwide turbulence with wars and revolutions. The style of jewellery was usually small and light pieces, such as short necklaces with intricate motifs. It was also common for the jewellery to include diamonds or other precious stones.

Victorian Jewellery (c 1837-1900) – This was a time of change with the advent of the industrial revolution and social reforms. This era saw the rise of the middle classes who created a demand for jewellery to be mass produced.

During the mid 1800s, the tendency was for jewellery to be larger. Queen Victoria was romantic in nature and this was reflected in the design of jewellery that included hearts and flowers. In the late 1800s there were discoveries of large diamond deposits and this led to this type of jewellery becoming more widespread.

Art Nouveau Jewellery (c 1895-1915) – The Art Nouveau period emerged near the end of Queen Victoria’s reign and was mainly influenced by a return to craftsmanship. There was more of an emphasis on design quality over the material used. This led to a trend towards using semi-precious stones such as amethyst and opals.

Edwardian Jewellery (c 1901-1915) – The reign of Kind Edward was a time of fashion, elegance and sophistication and this was reflected in the design of the jewellery during this period. Diamonds, rubies and emeralds were fashionable and jewellery featured elaborate designs.

Art Deco Jewellery (c 1920-1935) – This is a design era which emerged after the First World War. There was a period of wealth after the war and this led to a trend for using precious stones in jewellery. The design of jewellery in this period was influenced by Cubist modern art and features geometric shapes and symmetry.

Retro Jewellery (c 1935 – 1950) – This period included the depression of the 1930s, the Second World War and the prosperity that followed it. This resulted in a wide variety of different jewellery designs and themes. Much of the post war antique jewellery is inspired by Hollywood and usually features colourful and elaborate designs. Antique designer jewellery from this time is also very popular with collectors, such as antique diamond rings made by Cartier and Tiffany.
