The Super Bowl is a de facto American holiday. Taking place after the Thanksgiving/Christmas season, Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest day for food consumption, just behind Thanksgiving, but ahead of Christmas and the Fourth of July. The Super Bowl is frequently the most watched television program of the year. The NFL claims that the use of the phrase "Super Bowl" implies an NFL affiliation, and on this basis the league asserts broad rights to restrict how the game may be shown publicly. For example, the league says Super Bowl showings are prohibited in churches or events that promote a message. Venues that don't regularly show sporting events aren't allowed to show the Super Bowl on any television screen larger than 55 inches. So we'll take a small risk, claim fair use, and tell you how to stay healthy on the day of the big game. Here's how to make sure your Super Bowl stays healthy.

In January an epic snowstorm hit the area where QuickMedical is located. Thousands of people were without power for days. Even QuickMedical lost power, briefly. But QuickMedical soldiered on and continued shipping medical equipment and supplies to the world. Filisi, as part of the warehouse team, made it to work every day during the storm, ensuring that all the orders shipped.

This month's employee of the month is Filisi. The staff and management would like to thank Filisi for all his efforts. His commitment to work through the snowstorm is commendable, but also his day-to-day duties are an important part of everything we do at QuickMedical. He's also great to work with! If you're a customer and want to share a story about Filisi, or a fellow employee, click ahead and leave a comment below.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services the United States population of citizens 65 and over increased from 35 million in the year 2000 to 40 million in 2010 and will likely increase to 55 million in 2020 (a 36% increase for that decade). By 2030, there will be an anticipated 72.1 million older persons, almost twice their number in 2008.

While this aging population will have access to unprecedented new health technology and home medical products that will be far advanced from the technology of just a few years ago, some complications of aging will remain the same. As you get older, your eyesight weakens. Sometimes this weakening is due to health conditions which are treatable and preventable, such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, or macular degeneration. But presbyopia, the loss of the ability to read small print, is considered a normal eyesight loss and is expected with age. Reading glasses often fix the problem, but another solution are dome magnifiers.

Losing your eyesight with age is not inevitable, but it's very likely. A reading magnifier for text can be extremely helpful for an aging person who needs assistance briefly with certain printed materials.

Bierley Dome Magnifiers are precisely shaped to double the size of the text while capturing and focusing illumination. Bierley Dome Magnifiers glide effortlessly across surfaces without scratching or damaging it's optical clarity. The Bierley DM51 51mm Dome Reading Magnifier is designed to gather light with its unique dome shape. It uses no light bulbs or batteries to enhance and illuminate text. Each Bierley DM51 Reading Magnifier comes complete with a convenient drawstring microfiber bag for easy portability.

Bierley Dome Magnifiers are proudly made in the USA.

Around 60%-75% of newborn baby boys in America are circumcised in a surgical procedure soon after birth. Presently, many states are considering defunding the procedure as a way to cut health care costs.

To scalpel or not to scalpel? Circumcised versus uncircumcised. Why circumcise? According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, "there is no absolute medical indication for routine circumcision of the newborn."

The procedure is considered by many to be purely cultural. In San Francisco the city government sought to introduce legislation which would have banned circumcision on men under 18. The law failed before it could be voted on because it was judged to impinge on the constitutional right to free exercise of religion.

In an editorial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Aaron Tobian and Dr. Ronald Gray argue for the medical benefits of circumcising boys in infanthood, citing several observational studies and recent clinical trials that show it reduces the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, HPV and herpes by about a third in both men and their female sexual partners.

In opposition to these facts, circumcision increases the chance of meatitis-- an inflammation of the opening of the penis. Circumcisions often cause other infections and complications in infants. Cutting right to the heart of the matter, sometimes over zealous doctors snip a bit too much, and cause permanent damage.

The United States Congress has designated January as Cervical Health Awareness Month. January is almost over, but today on the QuickMedical blog we'll explore cervical cancer, HPV disease, and the importance of early detection. Each year in the U.S. approximately 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and more than 4,000 lives are lost as a result. There are also many more women who have cervical abnormalities and abnormal Pap tests for reasons other than cancer, but who still undergo follow-up exams and treatments.

Cervical cancer is caused by specific types of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a common infection that almost everyone who is sexually active will have at some point. There are vaccines that block the types of HPV most often found with cervical diseases, and screening tests (such as Pap tests and HPV tests) can identify women most at risk. Cervical cancer can be prevented. Early vaccination (females and males ages 9-26 are eligible) and regular Pap tests beginning at age 21 are the best ways.
