Experts Say Businesses Need to Go Mobile as Aussie Smartphone Users Increase

Perth, Western Australia (PRWEB) July 16, 2012

Spanky Media, a leading Perth web development company, has explained how retailers and businesses can benefit from the upsurge of smartphone usage in Australia. This statement from the company stems from a recent Google study showing that more than half of Australians 52% are now using smartphones not only for making and receiving calls, but as an important shopping tool as well.

In a separate report, it was shown that the current years percentage for smartphone users in the country is a significant increase from the 37% figure from last year. In addition, it was shown that 65% of smartphone owners use their mobile devices daily to surf the Internet, while 94% of Aussies use their smartphones to search for products and services, with 28% of them have actually made purchases through this platform.

Google has described Australias mobile users to be more sophisticated compared to those from the UK and US, implying that Aussies are more knowledgeable in using their smartphones compared to their counterparts. And according to experts, this is something that businesses and companies must take into account.

Unfortunately, Googles report also showed that 79% of Australian businesses still do not have websites optimised for mobile use, despite a figure showing that 61% of users will most probably not return to a particular website if they encountered difficulties accessing it through their mobile devices.

Jason Pellegrino, Google Australias Head of Mobile Ads, in explaining the importance of businesses going mobile said, The mobile revolution isnt coming its already happened. Mobile is no longer optional: businesses need to develop a mobile strategy now, or risk getting left behind.

In response, industry experts are suggesting that businesses must start making their websites mobile-friendly in order to cater to the growing market.

Currently, some companies have already benefited from having efficient mobile campaigns. One of them is Webjet, an online travel company, which had a 27% increase in bookings, particularly from mobile device users. An online learning company, Open Colleges, also confirmed that around a third of its enquiries and web traffic are coming from its mobile site.

In light of the increasing popularity of smartphones in the country, experts believe that retailers and businesses must now improve on their mobile campaigns or risk losing sales and clients in the end.

Pellegrino said, Businesses should complement their online and offline ad campaigns with mobile ads to reach their target audience on all screens their audience is looking at.

The year of mobile has already happened. If mobile strategy isnt being considered by the CEO or at board level, youre already behind the 8-ball, he added.

Indeed, creating mobile-friendly websites should be seriously considered by businesses, whether large or small. They just need to find the correct methods and the right company to make this possible.

Spanky Media is an established Perth Web Development company that specialises in WordPress development, web design, mobile website development, wholesale websites and other services designed to help retailers and businesses have more successful online and mobile marketing campaigns.

New Metal-on-Metal Hip Implant Study Emphasizes Importance of Patients Symptoms in Evaluating the Need for Hip Replacement Revisions, Bernstein Liebhard LLP Reports

New York, New York (PRWEB) December 25, 2012

Researchers in the U.K. are urging doctors to consider patient symptoms when determining whether or not to perform metal-on-metal hip implant revision surgery, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. According to a report from Orthopedics Today Europe, researchers with Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil found that while MRI and ultrasound are useful in screening metal-on-metal hip replacements, there are a significant percentage of hips which have failed with negative radiology findings. Their findings were presented at the British Orthopaedic Association Congress this past September.*

This research confirms what we have seen with some of our clientsthat pain could signal device failure, says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing clients who sustained injuries from a variety of metal-on-metal hip systems. The firm is currently offering free and confidential lawsuit reviews to individuals who suffered serious complications, including metal poisoning, due to all-metal hips.

This latest study retrospectively examined imaging results from 25 hips (16 patients) between March 2011 and May 2012. Out of that group, 23 hips had ultrasound scans and 21 had also undergone MRI scans preoperatively. During revision surgery, multiple tissue samples were retrieved from the area surrounding the artificial joint. Four patients had both negative MRI and ultrasound results, but were still revised due to pain and were found to have histopathology positive metallosis. One patient had a positive ultrasound and negative MRI result; similarly, one patient had a positive MRI with a normal ultrasound, according to the research team.

Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement Lawsuits

Victims of metal-on-metal hip implant complications may file lawsuits against the devices manufacturers to seek compensation for their injuries. The lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are actively filing lawsuits in the multidistrict litigation established in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, for claims involving the DePuy ASR hip implant (MDL No. 2197). The firm is also involved in the federal litigation underway in the Northern District of Texas concerning the metal-on-metal DePuy Pinnacle hip device (MDL No. 2244). The firm is also closely following developments in the July 2012 Stryker Rejuvenate recall, and the June 2012 Smith & Nephew metal liner recall. Bernstein Liebhard LLP also continues to investigate cases concerning the Biomet M2a Magnum hip implant, as well as Wright Profemur and Conserve metal hip implants.

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), metal particles shed by metal-on-metal hip implants may result in an adverse local tissue reaction that has the potential to cause damage to bone and/or tissue surrounding the implant and joint. According to the agency, there are also some case reports in the literature of patients in which high levels of metal ions in the bloodstream may have caused other types of symptoms or illnesses elsewhere in the body, including effects on the heart, nervous system, and thyroid gland. In May 2011, the FDA issued orders for postmarket surveillance studies to manufacturers of metal-on-metal hip systems. The agency believes these studies will enable it to better understand all-metal hip implants and their safety profiles related to metal ion concentrations in the bloodstream. **

Bernstein Liebhard LLP is offering free lawsuit consultations to anyone injured as a result of a metal-on-metal hip replacement device.
