ST. LOUIS, MO, June 17, 2011 (Press-News.org) Cynthia Hennessey has recently won several million-dollar settlements from work-related injury cases. With over two decades of workers' compensation experience and six years of experience as a registered nurse, Cynthia brings her compassion and expertise to the niche area of workers' compensation cases.
Before becoming an attorney, Cynthia spent six years as a registered nurse working in both the pediatric and adult intensive care areas. This experience led her to develop a compassion for defending those who have been injured at work and ensuring they receive the medical treatment and payment they deserve.
Federal and state laws require employers to pay for any work-related injuries, disabilities from these injuries as well as reimbursement for an time lost from not being able to work. Many claims are denied by these companies the first time through and the employees never truly receive the benefits that are required by law.
"After seeing firsthand the injuries obtained at the workplace I can't simply turn my eyes away," said St. Louis attorney Cynthia Hennessey. "I have developed a compassion for my clients to receive the settlement they deserve to ensure they can pay for medical bills and expenses occurring from the injury."
Recently, Cynthia has won several influential settlements for clients. She helped obtain 1.4 million dollars for a worker who was injured in a rear end collision. She also helped win $650,000 for an injured person who has a disc slip due to a work-related injury. Cynthia also won lifetime work compensation benefits for both a warehouse worker who sustained an injury lifting on the job and a street cleaner who sustained a should and lower back injury while working.

Black hole kills star and blasts 3.8 billion light year beam at Earth
2011-06-17
Research led by astronomers at the University of Warwick has confirmed that the flash from one of the biggest and brightest bangs yet recorded by astronomers comes from a massive black hole at the centre of a distant galaxy. The black hole appears to have ripped apart a star that wandered too close, creating a powerful beam of energy that crossed the 3.8 billion light years to Earth.
Their research is published today in the Journal Science in a paper entitled "An Extremely Luminous Panchromatic Outburst from the Nucleus of a Distant Galaxy"
The high energy X-rays and ...

Searching for the 'perfect glass'
2011-06-17
Washington, D.C.—Glasses differ from crystals. Crystals are organized in repeating patterns that extend in every direction. Glasses lack this strict organization, but do sometimes demonstrate order among neighboring atoms. New research from Carnegie's Geophysical Laboratory reveals the possibility of creating a metallic glass that is organized on a larger scale. Their results are published June 17 in Science.
Scientists have discovered glasses that demonstrate order among the nearest neighboring atoms, called short-range order, and a slightly wider range of atoms, called ...
Spectacular Hubble view of Centaurus A
2011-06-17
Centaurus A, also known as NGC 5128, is well known for its dramatic dusty lanes of dark material. Hubble's observations, using its most advanced instrument, the Wide Field Camera 3, are the most detailed ever made of this galaxy. They have been combined here in a multi-wavelength image that reveals never-before-seen detail in the dusty portion of the galaxy.
As well as features in the visible spectrum, this composite shows ultraviolet light from young stars, and near-infrared light, which lets us glimpse some of the detail otherwise obscured by the dust.
The dark dust ...

Size matters -- in virulent fungal spores -- and suggests ways to stop a killer
2011-06-17
DURHAM, N.C. – Scientists at Duke University Medical Center have found that larger fungal spores can be more lethal. Their findings about two different spore sizes of the fungus Mucor circinelloides, a pathogen that kills half or more of its victims, could help to develop new treatments and fight other types of fungal infections.
Mucor infection is in the news as an environmental fungus contracted by people who had trauma in the wake of tornadoes in Joplin, Mo. Three out of eight patients had died by June 11. This group of fungi can be common in the environment but only ...
AdaptMy.com Has Vision Tips to Reduce Falls in the Home
2011-06-17
Vision impairment is strongly associated with falls. Two of the vision limitations most commonly associated with falls are reduced visual field and impaired contrast sensitivity.
The majority of falls occur in the bathroom. Grab bars can help you regain your balance and prevent these falls, but aren't helpful if visual impairment prevents you from grasping the bars quickly. That is why Andrea Tannenbaum, president of AdaptMy.com, highly recommends bathroom grab bars with a strong contrasting color to the walls.
High contrast colors are much easier to see for people ...
Barrett's esophagus carries lower risk of malignancy than previously reported
2011-06-17
Patients with Barrett's esophagus may have a lower risk of esophageal cancer than previously reported, according to a large, long-term study published online June 16 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant condition, and patients who have it are often advised to have regular endoscopies to watch for signs of esophageal adenocarcinoma, the most common kind of esophageal cancer in many parts of the world. But how often Barrett's esophagus progresses to cancer has not been clear. Previous estimates of the rate of progression ...
Researchers engineer the environment for stem cell development to control differentiation
2011-06-17
Stem cell technologies have been proposed for cell-based diagnostics and regenerative medicine therapies. However, being able to make stem cells efficiently develop into a desired cell type -- such as muscle, skin, blood vessels, bone or neurons -- limits the clinical potential of these technologies.
New research presented on June 16, 2011 at the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) shows that systematically controlling the local and global environments during stem cell development helps to effectively direct the process of differentiation. ...
Plants teach humans a thing or two about fighting diseases
2011-06-17
Avoiding germs to prevent sickness is commonplace for people. Wash hands often. Sneeze into your elbow. Those are among the tips humans learn.
But plants, which are also vulnerable to pathogens, have to fend it alone. They grow where planted, in an environment teeming with microbes and other substances ready to attack, scientists note.
Now, researchers are learning from plants' immune response new information that could help them understand more about humans' ability to ward off sickness and avoid autoimmune diseases.
This week's journal Science reports findings by ...
