KANSAS CITY, MO, July 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) At Adler & Manson, our Kansas City brain injury attorneys have decades of experience handling compensation issues involving severe and catastrophic injuries.

The following is a list of guidelines and information regarding brain injuries:

Seek immediate medical attention:

Brain injuries can be among the more serious injuries an individual can experience. Trained medical professionals can most often run tests and determine if you have suffered such an injury. It is important to seek immediate medical attention for a possible brain injury. It is a common mistake not to seek medical attention or report injuries, and the factor of time can cause what would be a mild injury to develop in severity. Even if you think your injury is minor, it is always better to see a physician.

What causes a brain injury?

The most common and perhaps obvious causes of brain injuries is receiving a blow to the head. However, even if no direct blow to the head occurs, a brain injury can result from various kinds of accidents where the brain internally collides with the inside of the skull. This can occur in a low impact auto accident where the injured person is jolted violently.

Some of the Signs and Symptoms of Brain Injury:

1. Loss of consciousness at the time of injury

2. Memory loss (to varying degrees) immediately preceding or following the injury

3. Alteration in mental state following the accident

Even if you do not experience any common symptoms of a brain injury, it is always best, whenever in an accident, to seek medical attention and evaluation.

Effects of Brain Injury:

Injuries to the brain can have vast and alarming negative effects on the injured person's daily life. Oftentimes after receiving a brain injury, the injured person can have drastically decreased physical and mental ability, while other times symptoms are barely noticeable.

How a personal injury attorney can help:

Seeking counsel from a professional personal injury attorney can help ensure that you are amply compensated for every bit of damage you've incurred as a result of the injury. Furthermore, a personal injury attorney can guide you through the legal process involved in seeking compensation and help ensure that you receive proper medical treatment and are properly represented before an insurance adjustor or judge.

The attorneys at Adler and Manson have over 25 years of experience representing clients who have suffered injuries. If you or someone you know suffered a possible brain injury, contact Adler & Manson for a free, no obligation evaluation.

World's fastest camera, created by UCLA engineers, used to detect rogue cancer cells

2012-07-07

The ability to distinguish and isolate rare cells from among a large population of assorted cells has become increasingly important for the early detection of disease and for monitoring disease treatments. Circulating cancer tumor cells are a perfect example. Typically, there are only a handful of them among a billion healthy cells, yet they are precursors to metastasis, the spread of cancer that causes about 90 percent of cancer mortalities. Such "rogue" cells are not limited to cancer — they also include stem cells used for regenerative medicine and other cell types. ...
