DETROIT, MI, January 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) A new book titled "Heaven, Iron and I - The Ron Martinelli Story" has been written and published by former professional wrestler Ron Zuccaro.
Zuccaro wrestled professionally in the 1970s and 1980s under several names - most notably as Ron Martinelli, The Banditos and The Destroyers. During his career with the CWA, NWA, WCW, the WWF and many other wrestling organizations, he wrestled such greats as Andre the Giant, George The Animal Steele, Haystacks Calhoun, Bobo Brazil, Randy Savage, The Sheik, Dick the Bruiser, The Mighty Igor and more!
At the height of his career he suffered a near fatal, career ending injury when a truck ran him through a brick wall, crushing his legs and lower torso, sending him to the hospital ICU and putting him in a wheelchair for what should have been the rest of his life.
Doctors said he'd never walk again - only for him to prove them wrong! Not only did Zuccaro walk again, but also went back to his professional wrestling career winning the CWA World Title!
"Heaven, Iron and I - The Ron Martinelli Story" is a message of hope, perseverance and enduring faith. This amazing story chronicles Zuccaro's time in U.S. Military service as he joined the U.S. Army, Navy and Marines.
Zucccaro served an extended tour of duty in Vietnam from 1966-1968. He describes flashbacks he had during his hospital stay of the different battles and life experiences he had while in Vietnam. They are truly the highlight of the book. Many readers have expressed their amazement at the detail he goes into when telling of his exploits - they describe feeling as though they were there themselves.
The book is published by Tribute House Publishing and is currently available in bookstores such as Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, LuLu.com, as well as via his website www.RonZuccaro.com. It is also available in e-book format in the Kindle store. ISBN number 978-0-615-41751-9

Longevity unlikely to have aided early modern humans
2011-01-12
Life expectancy was probably the same for early modern and late archaic
humans and did not factor in the extinction of Neanderthals, suggests a new study by a Washington University in St. Louis anthropologist.
Erik Trinkaus, PhD, Professor of Anthropology in Arts & Sciences, examined the fossil record to assess adult mortality for both groups, which co-existed in different regions for roughly 150,000 years. Trinkaus found that the proportions of 20 to 40-year-old adults versus adults older than 40, were about the same for early modern humans and Neandertals.
This similar ...
Played by humans, scored by nature, online game helps unravel secrets of RNA
2011-01-12
PITTSBURGH—Many video games boast life-like graphics and realistic game play, but have no connection with reality. A new online game developed by Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University researchers, however, finally shatters the virtual wall.
The game, called EteRNA (http://eterna.cmu.edu) harnesses game play to uncover principles for designing molecules of RNA, which biologists believe may be the key regulator of everything that happens in living cells. But the game doesn't end with the highest computer score. Rather, players are scored and ranked based on ...
Singapore scientists discover a possible off-switch for anxiety
2011-01-12
Scientists from the Agency of Science, Technology and Research/Duke-NUS Neuroscience Research Partnership (A*STAR/Duke-NUS NRP), A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, and the National University of Singapore have made a breakthrough concerning how anxiety is regulated in the vertebrate brain. Their work, published in the journal Current Biology, sheds light on how the brain normally shuts off anxiety and also establishes the relevance of zebrafish as a model for human psychiatric disorders.
The team of scientists, led by Dr Suresh Jesuthasan from the A*STAR/Duke-NUS ...
Pandemic H1N1 influenza vaccine effective in 2009-10 flu season
2011-01-12
One dose of the pandemic flu vaccines used in seven European countries conferred good protection against pandemic H1N1 influenza in the 2009-10 season, especially in people aged less than 65 years and in those without any chronic diseases. These findings from a study funded by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and coordinated by EpiConcept, Paris, France, published in this week's PLoS Medicine, give an indication of the vaccine effectiveness for the influenza A (H1N1) 2009 strain included in the 2010-11 seasonal vaccines.
The authors conducted ...
Priorities to reduce birth asphyxia focus on implementation
2011-01-12
Joy Lawn from Saving Newborn Lives/Save the Children, South Africa, and an international group of colleagues used a systematic process developed by the Child Health Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) to define and rank research options to reduce mortality from intrapartum-related neonatal deaths (birth asphyxia) by the year 2015. The top one-third of the ranked research investment options was dominated by delivery and implementation research, whilst discovery (basic science) questions were not ranked highly, especially for expected reduction of mortality and inequity ...
Shingles vaccine associated with 55 percent reduced risk of disease
2011-01-12
PASADENA, Calif. (January 11, 2011) – Receiving the herpes zoster vaccine was associated with a 55 percent reduced risk of developing shingles, according to a Kaiser Permanente study of 300,000 people that appears in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
This retrospective study observed the outcomes of the effectiveness of the herpes zoster vaccine in a large, diverse population of men and women ages 60 years and older. Researchers found a significant reduced risk of shingles across all sub-groups -- those who are healthy as well as those ...
Behavioral therapy program reduces incontinence following radical prostatectomy
2011-01-12
For men with incontinence for at least one year following radical prostatectomy, participation in a behavioral training program that included pelvic floor muscle training, bladder control strategies and fluid management, resulted in a significant reduction in the number of incontinence episodes, according to a study in the January 12 issue of JAMA. The researchers also found that the addition of biofeedback and pelvic floor electrical stimulation provided no additional benefit.
"Men in the United States have a 1 in 6 lifetime prevalence of prostate cancer. Although survival ...
Zoster vaccine associated with lower risk of shingles in older adults
2011-01-12
Vaccination for herpes zoster, a painful rash commonly known as shingles, among a large group of older adults was associated with a reduced risk of this condition, regardless of age, race or the presence of chronic diseases, according to a study in the January 12 issue of JAMA.
"The pain of herpes zoster is often disabling and can last for months or even years, a complication termed postherpetic neuralgia. Approximately 1 million episodes of herpes zoster occur in the United States annually, but aside from age and immunosuppression, risk factors for this condition are ...
Comparison of medications for heart failure finds difference in risk of death
2011-01-12
In a comparison of the angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) candesartan and losartan, used by patients with heart failure, candesartan was associated with a lower risk of death at 1 and 5 years, according to a study in the January 12 issue of JAMA.
Angiotensin II receptor blockers reduce cardiovascular mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalization in patients with HF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; a measure of how well the left ventricle of the heart pumps with each contraction). Despite variable effects of different ARBs, they have not ...
