SAUSALITO, CA, January 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) Merck & Co's osteoporosis drug, Fosamax, has been linked to numerous side effects. Will new and damaging evidence force Merck to settle Fosamax lawsuits? Many Fosamax injury lawyers think so. If you've been injured by Fosamax or another bisphosphonate drug such as Fosamax Plus D, Actonel, Actonel with Calcium, Boniva, Atelvia, Reclast or a generic bisphosphonate product, you owe it to yourself to find out more about what the latest study says about Fosamax and determine whether you might be entitled to compensation.
Study Reveals More Fosamax Injuries
A recent study from the American Society of Bone & Mineral Research revealed that 94% of osteoporosis patients who suffered a rare femur fracture had been taking bisphosponate drugs. In many of the cases, fractures occurred while doing the simplest of tasks such as walking up stairs. This study, which caused the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to further strengthen warnings on bisphosphonate drugs, is only the latest in a long string of studies which allege:
bone density loss
femur fractures
esophageal cancer
osteocronosis of the jaw (jaw bone death)
Fosamax injury attorneys say that the overwhelming evidence about the dangers of Fosamax, coupled with more and more doctors urging women to take "drug holidays" in order to reduce their risks of suffering from these dangerous Fosamax side effects, may cause pharmaceutical giant Merck & Company to settle the thousands of Fosamax injury lawsuits currently pending in courts throughout the nation - as well as the new lawsuits being filed every day.
You May Be Entitled To Compensation
If you've been injured by Fosamax or another dangerous bisphosphonate drug, make sure you receive the compensation for which you're entitled. A Fosamax lawyer can review your situation and determine whether filing a Fosamax lawsuit might be in your best interests.

Stem Cell Therapy Cream Science Opens Door for Anti-Aging Creams and Anti-Wrinkle Creams
2011-01-12
While many scientists may state that stem cells are the key to longer and healthier lives, some are not waiting on the technology for that and are using it in the anti-aging industry to bring unmatched results in wrinkle removal. The ant-wrinkle and skin cream industry has been in a state of remission as far as advancements in the industry for decades.
While some skin care creams do show a marked reduction in wrinkles, it is a short term loss and not something that has a real and lasting effect. Most of the skin care creams on the market swell the skin to give the appearance ...

Wave power could contain fusion plasma
2011-01-11
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Centre for Fusion Space and Astrophysics and the UK Atomic Energy Authority's Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, may have found a way to channel the flux and fury of a nuclear fusion plasma into a means to help sustain the electric current needed to contain that very same fusion plasma.
The researchers used large scale computer simulations to confirm a longstanding prediction by US researchers that high energy alpha particles born in fusion reactions will be key to generating fusion power in the next planned generation of tokamaks. ...
Single cell studies identify coactivator role in fat cell maturation
2011-01-11
HOUSTON - (Jan. 10, 2011) – All fat cells are not the same – a fact that has implications in the understanding and treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine (www.bcm.edu) in a report that appears in the current issue of the Journal of Cell Biology (http://www.jcb.rupress.org/).
The amount of fat in each cell and the central transcription factor, PPAR gamma (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma), can vary widely, but the fat cells (adipocytes) can maintain stable levels of master switches known as steroid receptor ...
