MINEOLA, NY, August 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) Next week, the legal team at the Law Offices of Joseph M. Lichtenstein will once again be taking on a complex case involving medical malpractice. Filing the case next week, their firm will be working to represent a family who is claiming they have been victimized by a mismanaged breech presentation that occurred one week prior to their expected delivery date. A breech presentation occurs when the child is entering the birth canal with their buttocks or feet first - this can severely complicate the entire birthing process.
Per the claim, the physician negligently behaved in a manner that resulted in him lacerating the cervix and the uterus. These actions are believed to have caused the child to die, as well as the mother to suffer through a total hysterectomy due to the massive bleeding. A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure during which the uterus will be removed - this can either be a total or partial removal. Those who have the uterus removed will no longer be able to have children and risk long-term effects such as short-term mortality, extended hospital stay, development of benign ovarian cysts, premature menopause and more.
While the birth of a child should be a cause for celebration, it unfortunately does not always occur that way. Things can occur which can change the circumstances and it is the responsibility of the doctor to react quickly in a manner that will best protect the health, safety and well-being of the patient. Should they fail to behave in this manner, it can jeopardize both mother and child. While not every injury or incident can be attributed to the actions of the medical professional, there are instances where sheer negligence is to blame.
The legal team is now filing the case in the Bronx County Supreme Court as they fight for justice on their client's behalf. Doctors are meant to uphold a certain responsibility and duty of care. Although mistakes happen that can be outside of their control, there are incidents where they simply behaved in a manner that was negligent, reckless or simply careless. When this occurs and injuries are sustained by a patient, the doctor should be held accountable for the consequences of their actions.
At the Law Offices of Joseph M. Lichtenstein, they are dedicated to helping their clients with high-quality and honest legal advice when it is needed most. By working with their firm, you will be able to rest assured knowing that you will have an advocate on your corner who is fully prepared to go above and beyond on your behalf.

Molecular 'movies' may accelerate anti-cancer drug discovery
2012-08-17
SALT LAKE CITY – Using advanced computer simulations, University of Utah College of Pharmacy researchers have produced moving images of a protein complex that is an important target for anti-cancer drugs. This advancement has significant implications for discovering new therapies that could attack cancer without damaging the DNA of healthy cells, according to an article published July 31, 2012 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers used high-performance computing technology to demonstrate that a protein complex called LSD1/CoREST undergoes ...
Taking the edge off a pipe bomb -- literally
2012-08-17
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T) new low-cost device for dismantling dangerous pipe bombs may look like a tinkerer's project, but that's no accident. The Semi Autonomous Pipe Bomb End-cap Remover (SAPBER) is unassuming in appearance, but sophisticated enough to preserve the forensic evidence needed to track down the perpetrator.
"From ten paces away, you might mistake the contraption for a pressure washer," says S&T Program Manager Christine Lee. "But step closer and you'll find an ingenious device bristling with ...
Spider version of Bigfoot emerges from caves in the Pacific Northwest
2012-08-17
The forests of the coastal regions from California to British Columbia are renowned for their unique and ancient animals and plants, such as coast redwoods, tailed frogs, mountain beavers and the legendary Bigfoot (also known as Sasquatch). Whereas Bigfoot is probably just fiction, a huge, newly discovered spider is very real. Trogloraptor (or "cave robber") is named for its cave home and spectacular, elongate claws. It is a spider so evolutionarily special that it represents not only a new genus and species, but also a new family (Trogloraptoridae). Even for the species-rich ...
Trained NHS therapists can help insomniacs
2012-08-17
Insomnia sufferers in England could have greater access to successful treatment, thanks to a training programme developed as part of trials of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi), funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
In Britain, people report having insomnia more often than any other psychological condition, including anxiety, depression and even pain, according to the Office of National Statistics. Yet the only treatment offered in most doctors' surgeries is a course of sleeping tablets.
"It is well known that sleeping pills can be ...
UA engineering professor uses aerospace materials to build endless pipeline
2012-08-17
TUCSON, Ariz. (August 17, 2012) -- Mo Ehsani, Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at the University of Arizona, has designed a new, lightweight underground pipe he says could transform the pipeline construction industry.
Instead of conventional concrete or steel, Ehsani's new pipe consists of a central layer of lightweight plastic honeycomb, similar to that used in the aerospace industry, sandwiched between layers of resin-saturated carbon fiber fabric.
In combination, these materials are as strong, or stronger, than conventional steel and concrete pipes, which ...
It must be important but what does it do? The strange case of UCP2
2012-08-17
When uncoupling proteins are active, mitochondria produce heat instead of ATP. This may be useful under certain circumstances, such as when an animal is hibernating. But non-hibernating animals also have them. Particularly poorly understood is the uncoupling protein UCP2. Elena Pohl and colleagues at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, show that the protein occurs mainly in cells of the immune system. The group's highly provocative findings are published in the online journal PLOS ONE.
Mitochondria represent the powerhouses of the eukaryotic cell. They ...
Iconic Darwin finch genome sequenced in Genome 10K international collaboration
2012-08-17
Santa Cruz, California—Scientists have sequenced the genome of one of the iconic Galapagos finches first described by Charles Darwin. The genome of the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis) is among the first of a planned 100 genomes of vertebrate species to be sequenced and released by an international collaboration between the Genome 10K project and BGI.
This finch genome, the first of the BGI-Genome 10K collaboration to be made available through the UCSC Genome Browser, represents both a scientific and a symbolic advancement, according to Duke University associate professor ...
Magnetic turbulence trumps collisions to heat solar wind
2012-08-17
New research, led by University of Warwick physicist Dr Kareem Osman, has provided significant insight into how the solar wind heats up when it should not. The solar wind rushes outwards from the raging inferno that is our Sun, but from then on the wind should only get cooler as it expands beyond our solar system since there are no particle collisions to dissipate energy. However, the solar wind is surprisingly hotter than it should be, which has puzzled scientists for decades. Two new research papers led by Dr Osman may have solved that puzzle.
Turbulence pervades ...
Wild pollinators support farm productivity and stabilize yield
2012-08-17
Most people are not aware of the fact that 84% of the European crops are partially or entirely dependent on insect pollination. While managed honeybees pollinate certain crops, wild bees, flies and wasps cover a very broad spectrum of plants, and thus are considered the most important pollinators in Europe.
The serious decline in the number of managed honeybees and wild bees reported in Europe over the last few decades has the potential to cause yield decreases with threats to the environment and economy of Europe. The future of the pollination services provided by bees ...
