Risks and Potential Claims Associated With Bariatric Surgery
2011-05-27
Low-carb, no-carb, grapefruit, macrobiotic -- when diet after diet has failed, many people who remain significantly overweight are turning to bariatric surgery. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), in 2008, approximately 220,000 people in the United States had bariatric surgery.
Bariatric surgery is a last resort for people hoping to minimize or eliminate the physical and emotional tolls of morbid obesity. It is important, however, to temper optimism with careful consideration of the many risks and complications associated with ...
Hard Years Lead to an Uptick in Bankruptcies
2011-05-27
In response to the steep rise in bankruptcy filings in 2005, changes were made to the bankruptcy code that reversed the trend, at least temporarily. But, pounded by five years of high unemployment and low real estate prices, the number of Americans seeking protection in bankruptcy courts has again reached uncomfortable heights.
Although the economy may be recovering, many Americans are still facing the challenges of heaping debt. Some 1.53 million Americans filed cases in bankruptcy court last year. Bankruptcies increased 9 percent in 2010, even surpassing their 2005 ...
Hours-of-Service Rules are Intended to Keep All Safe
2011-05-27
For the most part, the government doesn't make rules, regulations or laws just to feel useful. They usually have specific reasons for doing so. One such reason is safety: safety of workers, safety of the general public, etc.
The commercial driving industry abides by rules and regulations, many of which are safety-related. For instance, truck and bus drivers may be limited in the number of hours they can drive, how much weight or the number of passengers they can carry per load, and, like all drivers, how fast they can drive. While these rules and regulations may seem ...

Children are Being Exposed to Unnecessary Radiation
2011-05-27
The most vulnerable of human beings are sometimes the most mistreated. Such is the case with premature infants. In 2007, doctors at State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn discovered that hospital staff repeatedly over-radiated premature babies during X-rays and CT scans. For example, when chest x-rays were ordered for one newborn, he underwent 10 full body X-rays without being covered by a protective shield.

Feds Eye Bus Safety Regulations After New York Crash
2011-05-27
A recent tour bus accident in New York has renewed calls for tougher federal safety regulations over motor coaches, including setting basic driver qualification and training standards and requiring buses to come equipped with seatbelts.
This past March, a motor coach transporting gamblers back to New York City from a casino in Connecticut crashed, killing 15 people. The bus driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel. Witnesses reported seeing the bus swerve off of I-95 several times before it went through a guardrail and smashed into the support pillars of an overpass ...
Police Misconduct Forces Division Between Police Departments and Communities They Serve
2011-05-27
Police misconduct, particularly allegations of police brutality, is a divisive topic. Some, particularly those in law enforcement, believe that legitimate cases of police misconduct are few and far between and that most officers take their oaths to serve and protect seriously. They argue that their jobs are dangerous ones and that they have to be able to protect themselves and the public, which may require the use of force.
Others, however, particularly those living in communities that have been subjected to questionable if not illegal police practices, believe that ...
Risk of Birth Injuries During Prolonged Labor
2011-05-27
A birth injury is any type of injury sustained by a newborn during or as a result of the birth process. Many birth injuries are temporary, relatively minor concerns that have no long-term impact on the child's life.

Long Labor Birth Injury
Birth injuries most often occur when the mother's pregnancy is too short or too long--typically when pregnancy or labor complications occur. One major risk factor for birth injuries is a prolonged labor. According ...
