BOCA RATON, FL, March 09, 2013 (Press-News.org) The Greenspan Law Firm, P.A. went to the Florida Supreme Court to fight the PIP insurers and stand up for the rights of Florida providers of diagnostic imaging services as well as chiropractors, medical doctors and others who treat car accident victims. Attorney Harley N. Kane, who heads The Greenspan Law Firm's PIP practice, presented oral argument on behalf of the Appellee provider in GEICO General Insurance Co. v. Virtual Imaging Services, Inc., Case No. SC12-905.
The question presented is whether PIP insurance companies can pay for health care services based upon the new Medicare fee schedule method instead of the "reasonable amount" method expressly promised in the insurance policy which was silent as to the fee schedule. Greenspan Law Firm Attorney Harley Kane forcefully argued that GEICO's policy expressly promises to pay the "reasonable amount" without mentioning the fee schedule method. The District Courts have all held that a PIP insurer cannot rely on the fee schedule method of making payments which are substantially lower than required by the "reasonable amount" method without expressly adopting it in the policy.
The PIP attorneys of The Greenspan Law Firm, P.A., have fought long and hard for our Florida provider clients from the County Court level through the District Courts of Appeal and all the way up to the Florida Supreme Court to hold the PIP insurers accountable for their actions.

Nanoparticles loaded with bee venom kill HIV
2013-03-08
Nanoparticles carrying a toxin found in bee venom can destroy human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while leaving surrounding cells unharmed, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown. The finding is an important step toward developing a vaginal gel that may prevent the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
"Our hope is that in places where HIV is running rampant, people could use this gel as a preventive measure to stop the initial infection," says Joshua L. Hood, MD, PhD, a research instructor in medicine.
The study appears ...
World's leading lion researcher calls for a 'Marshall Plan' for African wildlife
2013-03-08
MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (03/07/2013) —African lions and villagers would benefit from fences to protect them from each other, according to a new study by University of Minnesota researcher Craig Packer published online by Ecology Letters on Tuesday, March 5.
Fencing has long been anathema to most conservationists, but Packer said it offers the best hope for saving iconic African wildlife, an undertaking that will require sweeping measures rather than piecemeal efforts. In an interview, he called for an international "Marshall Plan" to erect fences where possible to protect ...
Emotion-health connection not limited to industrialized nations
2013-03-08
Irvine, Calif., March 7, 2013 – Positive emotions are known to play a role in physical well-being, and stress is strongly linked to poor health, but is this strictly a "First World" phenomenon? In developing nations, is the fulfillment of basic needs more critical to health than how one feels? A UC Irvine researcher has found that emotions do affect health around the world and may, in fact, be more important to wellness in low-income countries.
The study, which appears online in Psychological Science, is the first to examine the emotion-health connection in a representative ...
Full wired: Planar cell polarity genes guide gut neurons
2013-03-08
The enteric nervous system (ENS), the "little brain" that resides within the gut wall, governs motility, secretion, and blood flow in the human gastrointestinal tract. Failure of the ENS to develop normally leads to congenital megacolon (Hirschsprung Disease) while loss of normal gut innervation is thought to contribute to debilitating motility disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome. In order to prevent and treat these conditions, it is necessary to understand the molecular mechanisms that control the formation and function of the ENS. In this issue of the Journal ...
Enhanced brain acetate metabolism may reward heavy drinkers
2013-03-08
In addition to its well-known effects on the CNS, alcohol consumption has a significant impact on metabolism. After consumption, the body rapidly begins converting ethanol to acetate, which can serve as an energy source for the brain and other organs. Lihong Jiang and colleagues at Yale University used a brain imaging technique, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, to track acetate uptake and metabolism in the brains of heavy drinkers (consumed at least 8 drinks/week) and light drinkers (consumed less than 2 drinks/week). In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, ...

Genetic study of house dust mites demonstrates reversible evolution
2013-03-08
ANN ARBOR—In evolutionary biology, there is a deeply rooted supposition that you can't go home again: Once an organism has evolved specialized traits, it can't return to the lifestyle of its ancestors.
There's even a name for this pervasive idea. Dollo's law states that evolution is unidirectional and irreversible. But this "law" is not universally accepted and is the topic of heated debate among biologists.
Now a research team led by two University of Michigan biologists has used a large-scale genetic study of the lowly house dust mite to uncover an example of reversible ...
New fish species described from the streams of Manyas Lake basin, Turkey
2013-03-08
The newly described species Alburnoides manyasensis, belongs the large carp family Cyprinidae that includes freshwater fishes such as he carps, the minnows, and their relatives. This is the largest fish family, and more notably the largest family of vertebrate animals, with the remarkable numbers of over 2,400 species. Cyprinids are highly important food fish because they make the largest part of biomass in most water types except for fast-flowing rivers.
The genus Alburnoides is widely distributed in Turkey in rivers and streams of basins of the Marmara, Black and ...
