ST. LOUIS, MO, July 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) To further treat his patients toenail fungus in St. Louis, Dr. Richard Wittock is proud to offer the Fotona Laser System, which is now available at the Ankle and Foot Institute. Dr. Wittock, St. Louis podiatrist, is excited to offer this new revolutionary treatment for toenail fungus with success rates of nearly 90% in mild to moderate infections.
"As many people are taking their feet out of hiding to enjoy the beautiful summer weather and beaches, they may notice their feet are not as healthy as they want them to be," said Dr. Richard Wittock, podiatrist in St. Louis. "With the Fotona Laser System I can now help my patients say goodbye to embarrassing toenail fungus so that they can enjoy a summer of healthy, happy feet."
If patients suffer from toenail fungus, topical medications typically do not seem to work to clear a fungal nail infection. However, they do offer protection to a healthy nail from fungus development. At Ankle and Foot Institute, patients can now eliminate St. Louis toenail fungus with the help of the Fotona Laser.
The Fotona laser works simply by targeting the fungal organism on the nail bed and within the nail plate. The heat kills the fungus, resulting in a fungal cure of the nail. Once the nail is cured of the infection, a new, healthy nail will grow in its place. Laser treatment for nail fungus in St. Louis may be appropriate for patients that want to get rid of the problem once and for all, want to avoid the hassle of an ongoing regimen of ointments and creams with limited effectiveness, and want to stop taking prescription medicine.
In just 30 minutes or less, the Fotona-St. Louis laser treatment for nail fungus-can treat the pathogens that cause nail fungus. Safe, and without discomfort, this laser has shown a 90% effective rate in a mild to moderate infection compared to leading prescription topical treatments that only provide an 8% effective rate after months of treatment.
Patients that suffer from toenail fungus, veins and are searching for hair removal, are encouraged to talk to Dr. Wittock, podiatrist in St. Louis, MO, for more information on the Fotona Laser System and how it can permanently eliminate toenail fungus, veins and hair removal. The website for Ankle and Foot Institute can also be accessed for further information on the Fotona laser at http://www.ankleandfootinstitute.com.

Fourth of July Drunk Driving: Watch Out for Texas DPS This Holiday
2012-07-01
When it comes to Fourth of July drunk driving last year, more than 1,400 Texans were arrested for DWI. That's a lot of drivers and a lot of arrests. As Domingo Ramirez, Jr. writes for the Star-Telegram, the Texas Department of Public Safety will be out "in force" again this July 4 holiday, looking for impaired drivers.
Perhaps DPS will beat last year's number of arrests - don't help them.
But if you do find yourself pulled over, remember that what you do during the traffic stop and what you do at the police station will have an impact on your case. In other ...
Could Stricter Cellphone Laws Help Save Texas Lives?
2012-07-01
Over the past decade, many states have instituted limitations on the extent that drivers can use their cellphones and mobile devices while driving.
Some states, like New York and California, have strict laws that prohibit hand-held cellphone use and texting by all drivers. Other states, including Texas, have little or no restrictions on cellphone use while driving.

Distracted Drivers in Highway Work Zones: A Dangerous Mix
2012-07-01
Summer's here and on the highways it can mean only one thing: Orange barrels and road construction. While it may mean more delays and detours for drivers, it also means greater risk for construction zone workers.
Construction zones are inherently dangerous; roads are often in partially completed situations, with some lanes open, some closed, various grades and surface conditions. Frequently there are abrupt lane changes, with opposing traffic lanes within inches of each other.
Additionally, you have very large, very heavy construction equipment moving about, sometimes ...

In late April, the United States Senate voted to renew an embattled federal law, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The House of Representatives followed suit about a month later, passing their own version of a renewed VAWA. The proposed changes offered by Senate Democrats and House Republicans are the first proffered major revisions to the law since its enactment in 1994.
What is the VAWA?
The VAWA was first passed in 1994 amid concerns that existing state laws did not offer adequate protection to victims of domestic violence, particularly when that violence ...
East Coast Curbside Bus Companies Shut Down Due to Safety Violations
2012-07-01
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has shut down 26 curbside bus companies on the East Coast, citing multiple safety violations and in some cases, evasion of safety regulations and unscrupulous operating practices. Curbside bus companies offer cheap fares for passengers traveling through the Northeast Corridor. Rather than collect and deposit passengers at a bus terminal, these companies pick up and drop off passengers at the curb. They keep costs low by paying their drivers low wages, maintaining low overhead and failing to take appropriate safety ...
