The Next Michael Crichton? New Award-winning Author, Rudy A. Mazzocchi, Climbs the Charts with a Writing Style beyond Mainstream Fiction

Reviewers compare Mazzocchi's debut novel, EQUITY of EVIL, as a cross between Stieg Larsson's 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' and Michael Crichton's 'Next', and his second thriller, EQUITY of FEAR, as a blend of Ian Fleming and Michael Crichton.

The Next Michael Crichton? New Award-winning Author, Rudy A. Mazzocchi, Climbs the Charts with a Writing Style beyond Mainstream Fiction
2014-03-04
ORLANDO, FL, March 04, 2014 (Press-News.org) Despite many readers having warned that these bold novels are not for the "faint of heart", these controversial thrillers have received numerous literary awards and achieved the highest 5-star ranking reviews on Amazon in this highly competitive genre.

Now known as "The EQUITY Series", Mazzocchi reveals true-to-life topics in the challenging areas of medical ethics, the role of venture capitalism, the business of abortion, human trafficking, mind-control, the international organ transplant market, and exposes many of our deepest, darkest fears... all within powerful tales of intrigue and adventure.

With an endorsement on the front cover by International Best-selling Author, Dr. Robin Cook, the bold new novel by Rudy A. Mazzocchi, EQUITY of EVIL, has leapt to the top of the Amazon charts of Medical Thrillers based on Average Customer Reviews. Three literary awards, including the 2012 Global eBook Award for Best Suspense Thriller, further enhanced the brand recognition of this new author. To meet the demands of his growing fan base, Mazzocchi quickly followed with the release of his second novel, EQUITY of FEAR that included the same level of suspense, intensity and international intrigue. Books ONE and TWO of this trilogy highlights a heroic main character, Roman Citrano, who boldly navigates the reader through these controversial thrillers that combine both business and medical science based on true events and/or current technologies under development behind closed laboratory doors throughout the world. A third novel is underway, to be entitled EQUITY of LIFE while screenwriters consider how best to bring the series to the big screen.

Synopsis of EQUITY of EVIL:
A Venture Capital Fund makes a risky investment to start a challenging new business that appears capable of reaching profitability with modest capital requirements. The real challenge: optimizing one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the World - Abortion.

Founding Partner, Roman Citrano, a successful entrepreneur-turned-venture capitalist, struggles with what he believes is his choice to establish the controversial new company. He soon realizes that he and others are but pawns on a massive, ugly chessboard being manipulated to benefit a far larger, illicit market in human organs for transplantation. Unknowingly, prime, hyper-enriched organs are spawned from the aborted fetuses and grown like hydroponic vegetables.

Based on true events, this debut novel involves some of the world's oldest, most emotional and controversial issues. At the core of each matter is man's predisposition to control and take ownership of the human spirit for the sake of profit and personal gain... such is the dark and brutal new world where life becomes the equity of evil.

Synopsis of EQUITY of FEAR:
Researchers and scientists in the U.S., Russia and Japan compete in a new technological race to control fear and pain in the minds of the world's populace. At first the race is rooted in purely scientific ambitions, such as that of space travel or in the era of the industrial revolution, but it evolves into something much more sinister.

Dr. Frank Moretti, CEO of Recon Innovations, is among the founders of such new technologies, designed to help millions of patients eliminate irrational fears of flying, heights, insects that buzz, the darkness of night, or even death. Recon has further developed a neuroplasticity program that successfully re-wires the brain to restore memories in patients suffering from stroke or Alzheimer's Disease.

Despite words of caution from Roman Citrano, member of the Recon Board of Directors, and no stranger to the insidious intentions of other forces at work beneath still waters, Moretti pushes forward with plans to license the technology to competing countries. Such attempts take a dark and rebellious turn in which both Moretti and Citrano are drawn into a quagmire of international intrigue and ugliness. Here is yet another dark world where scientists experiment on orphaned children rather than rhesus monkeys, where torture and pain become just another set of data points and lives are discarded for the sake of owning the ability to control how man perceives and processes fear.

Carotid Artery MRI helps predict likelihood of strokes and heart attacks

Carotid Artery MRI helps predict likelihood of strokes and heart attacks
2014-03-04
OAK BROOK, Ill. – Noninvasive imaging of carotid artery plaque with MRI can accurately predict future cardiovascular events like strokes and heart attacks in people without a history of cardiovascular disease, according to a new study published online in the journal Radiology. Researchers have long known that some arterial plaque is more dangerous because of its vulnerability to rupture. MRI can discern features of vulnerable plaque, such as a lipid core with a thin fibrous cap. This ability makes MRI a potentially valuable tool for identifying patients at risk for subsequent ...

USDA school meal standards positively impact low-income students' fruit and vegetable consumption

2014-03-04
Ann Arbor, MI, March 4, 2014 – With nearly 32 million American students receiving government-subsidized meals every day, getting children the nutrition they need is a priority for schools as well as legislators. In the fall of 2012, revamped school lunch guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) went into effect. New standards necessitate increased availability of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, require students to select either a fruit or vegetable as one of their lunch items, and mandate larger portion sizes for fruits and vegetables. Initially, ...

New school meal standards significantly increase fruit, vegetable consumption

2014-03-04
Boston, MA -- New federal standards launched in 2012 that require schools to offer healthier meals have led to increased fruit and vegetable consumption, according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers. The study, the first to examine school food consumption both before and after the standards went into effect, contradicts criticisms that the new standards have increased food waste. "There is a push from some organizations and lawmakers to weaken the new standards. We hope the findings, which show that students are consuming more fruits ...

Gonorrhea infections start from exposure to seminal fluid

2014-03-04
Researchers have come a step closer to understanding how gonorrhea infections are transmitted. When Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacteria responsible for gonorrhea, are exposed to seminal plasma, the liquid part of semen containing secretions from the male genital tract, they can more easily move and start to colonize. The research, led by investigators at Northwestern University in Chicago, appears in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology. "Our study illustrates an aspect of biology that was previously unknown," says lead study ...

2014-03-04
1. Study of highly-motivated GenX physicians shows that women spend more time than men on parenting and household labor A survey of high-achieving young physician-researchers shows pronounced gender differences in domestic activities among those married with children, according to an article being published in Annals of Internal Medicine. It is known that female physician-researchers do not achieve career success at the same rate as men. Could differences in nonprofessional responsibilities explain some of the gap? Researchers surveyed 1,055 physician-researchers who ...

BPA linked to prostate cancer, study shows

2014-03-04
CINCINNATI—Findings by Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers show that levels of bisphenol A (BPA) in men's urine could be a marker of prostate cancer and that low levels of BPA exposure can cause cellular changes in both non-malignant and malignant prostate cells. This research, published in the March 3 edition of PLOS ONE, provides the first evidence that urinary BPA levels may help predict prostate cancer and that disruption of a cell duplication cycle through exposure to low-dose BPA may cause cancer development in the prostate. BPA, an environmental pollutant ...

Female doctors spend more time than male doctors on parenting, household tasks, study finds

2014-03-04
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A new study finds gender differences in parenting and household labor persist among a group of highly motivated physician-researchers in the early stages of their career. The finding could shed light on why female academic physicians in general do not have the same career success as their male colleagues. "One might expect that within a highly educated Generation X population there would be a relatively even distribution of domestic labor. But what we found was that there still seems to be a difference in the expectations at home for men and women, ...
