NEW YORK, NY, March 16, 2013 (Press-News.org) Crucial in today's world of construction is moving large and heavy loads, particularly here in New York where construction rarely seems to slow down. Cranes are frequently used to accomplish this task. There are significant safety issues to be considered, both for the operators of cranes, and for those workers in close proximity to them. While cranes are a key part of construction, they can also be extremely destructive and if not operated or maintained properly, serious injuries or death can result. Given the size and power of various types of cranes, the potential for injury at sites or operations utilizing cranes without proper planning and safety procedures is tremendous. The numbers clearly tell the story.
In the past 12 months alone there have been 5 serious crane accidents in New York leaving 2 dead and 13 injured.In New York State, construction workers are protected by the Labor law, which sets strict safety standards and enables injured workers to recover from construction site owners and general contractors who have violated the law. Despite these standards which dictate that cranes need be regularly and properly inspected and operators need be suitably qualified and trained, more and more workers are placed at unnecessary risks. The law permits injured workers or family members of a fatally injured worker to receive workers compensation benefits, providing some relief due to their inability to work and paying for medical expenses. In addition, a victim of a crane accident may seek compensation for their losses, including medical expenses, wage loss, and pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a crane accident or any type of accident on a construction site you need skilled legal representation to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Sorting out fertility after childhood cancer
2013-03-15
As success rates in treating childhood cancers have improved, greater emphasis is being placed on quality of life issues following successful treatment. Many cancer treatments can lead to infertility, but there are few methods to preserve the fertility of children who have not entered puberty. Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), which produce sperm cells, are present prior to the start of puberty. In theory, SSCs could be removed via biopsy prior to the start of treatment and then retransplanted following remission; however, there is a potential risk of reintroducing malignant ...
Cytoskeletal dysregulation underlies Buruli ulcer formation
2013-03-15
Mycobacterium ulcerans infects the skin and subcutaneous tissues and secretes a lipid toxin, mycolactone, which causes open skin lesions, known as Buruli ulcers. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Caroline Demangel at the Pasteur Institue in Paris investigated the molecular actions of mycolactone and found that it dysregulates the cellular skeleton (cytoskeleton) through activation of a protein known as N-WASP. They found that excessive N-WASP activity caused defects in cell adhesion and migration that impaired the integrity of the ...

New study on UTIs suggests flagellin is key in stimulating body's natural defenses
2013-03-15
Arnhem, 11 March 2013 - A new study by British scientists reveals that motile Escherichia coli isolates demonstrated significant activation of NF-κB signaling suggesting that flagellin plays a key role in up-regulating the host innate defences against urinary tract infections (UTIs).
UTIs are commonly caused by Escherichia coli. The host innate defences function to protect the uro-epithelium from microbial assault via a variety of mechanisms. These include NF-κB signalling pathways activated via cell-surface Toll-like-receptors responding to bacterial pathogen ...
