May 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) Some upstate New York college students may think anything that happens on campus stays on campus, but this does not hold true for criminal activities. If charged with and convicted of state or federal crimes, college students could face serious legal consequences that may limit their future potential. While college students may be capable and intelligent enough to handle many difficult situations, they need the help and support of their parents and an experienced criminal defense attorney to minimize the impact of criminal charges.
Criminal Charges
While the campus barrier does not dictate the kind of crimes college students may commit, some crimes are more common. These include drug possession, dealing drugs, drunk driving, assault, underage drinking, trespassing and fake IDs. Two crimes, sexual assault and theft, are particularly common on college campuses. Recent U.S. Department of Education statistics show that for New York schools with more than 10,000 students, burglary and forcible sexual offenses were the most-committed crimes on campus in 2009.
Lasting Impact
For college students, the consequences of criminal charges and convictions are numerous. Besides the obvious issues of legal fees, fines and jail time or probation, students also run the risk of losing financial aid and scholarship eligibility. Suspension or expulsion from school may also occur following serious criminal acts. If a criminal conviction goes on a student's permanent record, this could additionally impact future educational and job opportunities, especially with the common practice of background checks.
Parental Support
Most college students cannot afford to hire their own criminal defense attorneys, nor can they manage their cases without legal help. As a result, students charged with crimes on college campuses need both financial and emotional parental support to mitigate the impact a conviction could have on their permanent records. In particular, parents of students who go to school in upstate New York, but who are from another state, need the aid of an attorney familiar with New York criminal law and how to navigate the criminal process.
Legal Defense
Criminally charged upstate New York college students or their parents should consult an experienced New York criminal defense attorney immediately following a criminal charge. There is no substitute for having an aggressive attorney versed in New York criminal law on the student's side, especially when prosecutors seek the heaviest penalties available. Seeking sound legal defense representation may also prevent many of the real world consequences that students' could potentially suffer when faced with criminal charges.

Educating heart patients, families cut one hospital's falls by 64 percent
2011-05-15
Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center had noticed that, despite a hospital-wide program to prevent patient falls, the cardiovascular progressive care unit experienced an increase in the rate of patient falls. To address the problem, investigators reviewed current literature about fall prevention and designed an education program. Using some basic guidelines from Ryu, Roche, and Brunton (2009), the program incorporated education for patients as well as families and included a booklet and a poster for each patient room.

Primary stroke centers more likely to be in states with certification programs
2011-05-15
Searching public databases in 2010, researchers looked at the distribution of primary stroke centers, designated such by state health departments or national organizations (such as The Joint Commission in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association). They found that 24 percent of acute general hospitals are certified stroke centers.
Notably, in the eight states that have a state-based program that designates such hospitals, the percentage (63 percent) of certified stroke centers was higher than in states that don't (13 percent).

Artificial Hip Failures Increasingly Common, Lead to Recall
2011-05-15
Hip replacement surgery has become a fairly common procedure in the U.S., with more than 193,000 total hip replacement procedures performed annually. Well-known people ranging from 41st president George Bush to rocker Eddie Van Halen have had the surgery, and continue to lead successful lives.

Cancer scientists discover new way breast cancer cells adapt to environmental stress
2011-05-15
(Toronto – May 15, 2011) – An international research team led by Dr. Tak Mak, Director, The Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research at Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH), has discovered a new aspect of "metabolic transformation", the process whereby tumour cells adapt and survive under conditions that would kill normal cells.
The findings, published today in Genes and Development (http://www.genesdev.org/cgi/doi/10.1101/gad.1987211), show how breast cancer cells can thrive when deprived of their usual diet of glucose (sugar) and oxygen by turning to fatty acids ...

Mayo Clinic finds surgeon caseload, practice setting affect treatment of small kidney tumors
2011-05-15
WASHINGTON — Patients with small kidney tumors are more likely to be offered treatment options based on surgeons' case volume and type of practice than on tumor characteristics, a Mayo Clinic study has found. Fellowship-trained surgeons who practice in academic medical centers with high volumes of patients with kidney tumors were 70 to 80 percent more likely to follow American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines by recommending partial nephrectomy. Surgeons in private practice who see few patients with kidney tumors more often offered radical nephrectomy: removal of ...
