2011-03-26

DENVER, CO, March 26, 2011 (Press-News.org) When you've suffered a personal injury, it can be an overwhelming and daunting experience. If your injury has seriously impacted your life, medical bills may be piling up and you may not be able to work. Finding an experienced personal injury attorney could greatly benefit you. A skilled attorney with experience in personal injury claims will have the knowhow to ensure that you get the maximum compensation you deserve to help you recover.

It is important to do your research when searching for a personal injury attorney. Ask your family and friends if they know any lawyers who are familiar with what you are going through. When you do get recommendations, it is important to meet with the lawyers and talk with them one-on-one. Make sure you and your lawyer are a good fit.

Although no personal injury lawyer can guarantee a result and results obtained for others do not guarantee the same results for you, it might also benefit you to see what settlements they have obtained and verdicts they have won for clients with injuries similar to your own. Reputation and client success may be important factors for you.

Personal injury attorneys work with a variety of injuries, such as:

- Car accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home neglect
- Burn injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries

A skilled personal injury attorney will have both the knowledge and compassion to take on your case. A good attorney will have a large support staff and a team of medical consultants to help familiarize them with your case. It is also important to have an attorney who really cares about the outcome of your case. If you feel that the attorney doesn't have your best interest in mind, they may not be the right lawyer for you.

Recovery is a long and difficult process. It can take months or even years to recover from a serious personal injury. It is vital that you retain the best personal injury lawyer who will work with you as a team to help you receive the compensation that will help you along your recovery.

The Risks and Benefits of LASIK for Athletes

2011-03-26

Professional athletes who play contact sports should never depend on glasses and contact lenses to help them see. Not only can both of these visual aids too easily fall out during gameplay, they can pose danger to a player's eyes. Glasses can shatter with the impact of a ball or another player's hand. Dirt and sweat can build up underneath contacts, causing irritation and infection in the eyes. For these and other reasons, an increasing number of athletes are considering LASIK surgery as a way to correct their vision. While some athletes may be good candidates for LASIK, ...

FDA considers new rules to speed up confirmatory trials of drugs granted accelerated approval

2011-03-26

Since 1992, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted accelerated approval to 47 new indications for 35 cancer drugs and in more than half the cases—26 indications—further trials have confirmed the benefits of the drugs. But the agency has concerns about the length of time some drugs have remained on the market without confirmation of their benefits, according to a review article published online March 25 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. New requirements and fines are possible solutions say the authors, from FDA's Office of Oncology Drug Products. John ...

Nearly 1 in 4 postmenopausal women with fractures is obese

2011-03-26

Obesity is widely believed to be protective against fracture, although a recent study has documented a high prevalence of obesity in postmenopausal women with fragility fracture. An international group of researchers has today presented research at the European Congress on Osteoporosis & Osteoarthritis (ECCEO11-IOF) that compares the prevalence and location of fractures in obese (BMI≥30 kg/m2) and non-obese postmenopausal women and examines specific risk factors for fracture. A history of fracture after age 45 years was observed in 23% of obese and 24% of non-obese ...

Proposed Ohio Sexting Law: Lower Sex Crimes Consequences for Teens

2011-03-26

Anyone who faces sex crimes charges must understand the importance of an aggressive criminal defense. From false allegations to overzealous prosecutors, a suspect's world can change drastically overnight. If that person is a juvenile or young person just entering the adult world, the shame and embarrassment of the ordeal can cause lasting damage. A new bill before the Ohio legislature could provide significant relief for young people who face criminal prosecution due to "sexting." Currently, minors who send nude images to other minors on iPhones and other telecommunications ...

Research may lead to new treatments for Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders

2011-03-26

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A group of scientists at Marshall University is conducting research that may someday lead to new treatments for repair of the central nervous system. Dr. Elmer M. Price, who heads the research team and is chairman of Marshall's Department of Biological Sciences, said his group has identified and analyzed unique adult animal stem cells that can turn into neurons. Price said the neurons they found appear to have many of the qualities desired for cells being used in development of therapies for slowly progressing, degenerative conditions like Parkinson's ...

Mount Sinai finds promising clue to mechanism behind gene mutation that causes Parkinson's disease

2011-03-26

Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have discovered a way that mutations in a gene called LRRK2 may cause the most common inherited form of Parkinson's disease. The study, published online this month in the journal Public Library of Science, shows that upon specific modification called phosphorylation, LRRK2 protein binds to a family of proteins called 14-3-3, which has a regulatory function inside cells. When there is a mutation in LRRK2, 14-3-3 is impaired, leading to Parkinson's. This finding explains how mutations lead to the development of Parkinson's, providing ...

Young asthmatics are leaving emergency rooms missing critical documentation

2011-03-26

This press release is available in French. It sounds unbelievably simple but it's true – a written action plan for asthma treatment, attached to the drug prescription, improves asthma control in children. "Acute care visits for asthma often signal a management failure," said Dr. Francine Ducharme, of the University of Montreal's Department of Pediatrics and the Sainte-Justine University Hospital Centre. "This research shows that, even in the emergency department setting where little time is available to provide education, the provision of a written action plan significantly ...

MIT engineers devise new way to inspect materials used in airplanes

2011-03-26

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- In recent years, many airplane manufacturers have started building their planes from advanced composite materials, which consist of high-strength fibers, such as carbon or glass, embedded in a plastic or metal matrix. Such materials are stronger and more lightweight than aluminum, but they are also more difficult to inspect for damage, because their surfaces usually don't reveal underlying problems. "With aluminum, if you hit it, there's a dent there. With a composite, oftentimes if you hit it, there's no surface damage, even though there may be internal ...

'Can you hear me now?' Researchers detail how neurons decide how to transmit information

2011-03-26

PITTSBURGH—There are billions of neurons in the brain and at any given time tens of thousands of these neurons might be trying to send signals to one another. Much like a person trying to be heard by his friend across a crowded room, neurons must figure out the best way to get their message heard above the din. Researchers from the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, a joint program between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, have found two ways that neurons accomplish this, establishing a fundamental mechanism by which neurons communicate. ...
