NEW YORK, NY, June 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) Medical malpractice attorney Evan Goldberg of Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman in New York City recently secured a recovery of $2.65 million for a baby born with brain damage as a result of obstetrical mismanagement (see index #350306/2009 Bronx County, New York.).
During her pregnancy, the baby's mother experienced hypertension and diabetic health concerns, but her physicians failed to properly monitor those conditions. During labor it became apparent that the baby was not receiving enough oxygen, but the physicians chose not to perform a caesarian section (C-section) as most doctors would under the circumstances. As result, the baby was deprived of oxygen, born with brain damage and later diagnosed with autism.
The defense claimed that the physicians followed proper procedures before and during the birth. Additionally, they questioned the cause of the child's developmental delays, claiming that the subsequent diagnosis of autism could not be linked to oxygen deprivation at birth.
Having previously published on that issue in 2003, Combating the Developmental Delay Defense for Children, Mr. Goldberg was well able to counter the defense's arguments and obtained compensation for the disabled child and her family.
"Evan achieved a fair resolution in this matter, and assured that this young child would receive the medical attention and therapies she requires for the balance of her lifetime," said managing partner Jeff Lichtman, of Trolman, Glaser &Lichtman, P.C.
Attorney Evan Goldberg is a director of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and was previously elected as chair of the trial lawyers section of the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA). He currently serves in the NYSBA's House of Delegates. He actively lobbies for victims' rights legislation, frequently speaks at legal events and has written several legal publications.

AGU: Unique microbes found in extreme environment
2012-06-11
WASHINGTON – Researchers who were looking for organisms that eke out a living in some of the most inhospitable soils on Earth have found a hardy few. A new DNA analysis of rocky soils in the martian-like landscape on some volcanoes in South America has revealed a handful of bacteria, fungi, and other rudimentary organisms, called archaea, which seem to have a different way of converting energy than their cousins elsewhere in the world.
"We haven't formally identified or characterized the species," said Ryan Lynch, a microbiologist with the University of Colorado in Boulder ...
Raleigh Family Law Attorney Ashley Oldham Encourages Those Considering Divorce to "Get Organized and Have a Plan"
2012-06-11
Divorce attorney Ashley Oldham of Roberts Law Group, joined Marti Skold of News 14 to discuss the annual early spring surge in divorces: "Couples often wait until after the holidays to make the decision to get a divorce," explained Oldham. The number of divorce filings typically begins to rise in January, peaking in mid-March. The holiday season, New Year's resolutions and the return of tax time "put unique stressors on couples," likely contributing to the rise in divorce filings in the first few months of a new year.
When considering divorce, Oldham ...
More can mean less when it comes to being happier – especially if you are neurotic
2012-06-11
New research from the University of Warwick suggests getting more money may not make you happier, especially if you are neurotic.
In a working paper, economist Dr Eugenio Proto, from the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE) at the University of Warwick, looked at how personality traits can affect the way we feel about our income in terms of levels of life satisfaction.
He found evidence suggesting that neurotic people can view a pay rise or an increase in income as a failure if it is not as much as they expected.
Neuroticism is a fundamental ...
In a post-hoc analysis, elderly patients with type 2 diabetes experienced less hypoglycemia and similar blood sugar reductions with JANUVIA compared to sulfonylurea
2012-06-11
WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J., June 9, 2012 – Merck (NYSE: MRK) (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada) today announced results of a post-hoc pooled analysis in which patients with type 2 diabetes age 65 or older treated with JANUVIA® (sitagliptin) 100 mg/day achieved similar blood sugar reductions as those treated with a sulfonylurea, with significantly less hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
JANUVIA is indicated, as an adjunct to diet and exercise, to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. JANUVIA should not be used in patients with ...
Sleep deprivation may lead to higher anxiety levels, fMRI scans show
2012-06-11
DARIEN, IL – New research shows that sleep loss markedly exaggerates the degree to which we anticipate impending emotional events, particularly among highly anxious people, who are especially vulnerable.
Two common features of anxiety disorders are sleep loss and an amplification of emotional response. Results from the new study suggest that these features may not be independent of one another but may interact instead.
Researchers from the Sleep and Neuroimaging Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, used brain scanning on 18 healthy adults in two separate ...
Scaffolding Law Reform in New York Attempted Again
2012-06-11
It seems like every year tort reform advocates and some state lawmakers in New York try to pass legislation that would change the state's scaffold law. Unfortunately, 2012 is turning out to be no different.
A bill has been proposed that would change the protections provided to workers under the state's scaffold law, Labor Law Section 240(1). Under the current scaffold law, property owners and employers in New York bear absolute liability when construction workers are injured in accidents that involve any heights, such as scaffold, ladder and even stairway accidents. ...
MRI scans show how sleep loss affects the ability to choose proper foods
2012-06-11
DARIEN, IL – MRI scans from a study being presented today at SLEEP 2012 reveal how sleep deprivation impairs the higher-order regions in the human brain where food choices are made, possibly helping explain the link between sleep loss and obesity that previous research has uncovered.
Twenty-three healthy adults participated in two sessions using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), one after a normal night's sleep and a second after a night of sleep deprivation. In both sessions, participants rated how much they wanted various food items shown to them while they ...
Brain scans show specific neuronal response to junk food when sleep-restricted
2012-06-11
DARIEN, IL – The sight of unhealthy food during a period of sleep restriction activated reward centers in the brain that were less active when participants had adequate sleep, according to a new study using brain scans to better understand the link between sleep restriction and obesity.
Researchers from St. Luke's – Roosevelt Hospital Center and Columbia University in New York performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on 25 men and women of normal weights while they looked at images of healthy and unhealthy foods. The scans were taken after five nights in ...
Updated Medical Certification Guidelines for New York CDL Holders
2012-06-11
At the end of January a new federal regulation took effect that requires all New York commercial driver's license holders (CDL) to have a medical certification in order to legally operate their vehicles.
The medical certification must be issued by a doctor on a Department of Transportation approved form, and must state that the driver is physically able to operate a commercial motor vehicle. Typically the certification will be valid for two years, but can be good for a shorter period of time depending on the driver's medical condition. Only exempt personnel, like school ...
Aspirin before heart surgery reduces the risk of post-operative acute kidney failure
2012-06-11
Paris, France: Aspirin taken for five days before a heart operation can halve the numbers of patients developing post-operative acute kidney failure, according to research presented at the European Anaesthesiology Congress in Paris today (Sunday).
Professor Jianzhong Sun (MD, PhD), professor and attending anaesthesiologist at Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University (Philadelphia, USA), told the meeting that in a study of 3,219 patients, pre-operative aspirin therapy was associated with a reduction in acute renal failure of about three in every 100 patients ...
