A recent segment of the famous Dr. Oz show took on the controversial issue of the safety of amalgam fillings and put it to the test -literally. Dr. Oz set up a studio experiment with a device measuring mercury exposure levels, while simulating teeth brushing on amalgam fillings. The experiment clearly showed that simple brushing released significant toxic vapors, drastically exceeding safety limits. Amalgam fillings have been somewhat phased out in recent years, but the American Dental association maintains that "dental amalgam is considered a safe, affordable ...

Motorcycling is more than just a mode of transportation for many riders; it's a way to get out and enjoy the open road, particularly as the summer approaches. Yet, riding can be dangerous. Motorcycles present a much smaller visual profile than automobiles, meaning that drivers who are not paying close attention can easily cause a motorcycle crash. Compared to cars, motorcycles also offer substantially less protection for their operators in the event of a crash, leading to more serious injuries for motorcycle riders. The numbers are in for last year, and they paint ...

Like any other business, healthcare entities are continuously looking for ways to increase their bottom lines. For some hospitals, this is happening despite the danger it poses to patients.

The study The study, recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, examined the 2010 medical records of approximately 34,256 patients who needed surgery at various hospitals ...

While it's easy to see how a divorce can be a trying time for a splitting couple, it is important not to overlook the additional emotional toll a drawn-out divorce can take on the children of the marriage. Tragically, children often get caught in the middle of contentious divorces as both parents vie for custody. Fortunately when courts in Virginia resolve custody disputes, their foremost concern is the well-being of the child involved. Establishing Child Custody Courts in Virginia are generally free to order either joint of sole custody of a child following a ...

Filing for a divorce is a momentous decision that is not to be taken lightly.

Preparation is beneficial A large part of any divorce case rests on the income and needs of the divorcing couple. A big advantage to filing first, therefore, is the ability to prepare documentation while all ...

In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to open civil marriage to same-sex couples. It's been nearly a decade since the first same-sex marriage was performed in The Bay State, and in that time thousands of same-sex couples have tied the knot. Of course, a lot can happen in the span of nine years. For one thing, although the federal government has not yet recognized same-sex marriage, multiple states have joined Massachusetts in legalizing same-sex marriage (and several others have embraced half measures, like permitting civil unions, recognizing same-sex marriages ...

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently reported that "more children than ever before are being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders." The CDC estimates 1 in 88 children are diagnosed with the social spectrum disorder before reaching the age of eight, a 23 percent increase since the last CDC report in 2009 and a 78 percent increase since the first report in 2007. There is much debate over the cause of this increase. Some contend the increase is simply the result of increased education and awareness, allowing professionals to make a diagnosis that ...

The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued its ruling on an important case involving a warrantless blood test on an individual suspected of drunk driving. The Court said a warrant must be obtained before performing a blood test on an individual against his or her wishes except when it is reasonable and urgent to forgo a warrant, which depends on the circumstances of the case. Do police ever need a warrant to draw blood from a drunk-driving suspect? The case originated in Missouri, where a man was pulled over for speeding. The officer noted signs of intoxication and asked ...

Subject/verb agreement may seem really obvious but there are some sentences where it can be less clear. We all know that plural nouns take a plural verb and singular nouns take a singular verb - so far, so good. Additionally, there are collective nouns such as team, group, army, etc. that take a singular verb even though the noun in question may include many people. For example: The team works well together and has achieved its goals. (Remember the pronoun also has to agree, therefore it is 'its goals', not 'their goals'!) It gets a little more complicated when ...

Blood clots in the legs or lungs (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) kill an American about every 5 minutes. Adopting seven simple lifestyle steps could help reduce your risk of these potentially deadly blood clots, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology 2013 Scientific Sessions. In a large, long-term study, researchers followed 30,239 adults who were 45 years or older for 4.6 years. Researchers rated participants' heart health using the seven health indicators from the American Heart ...

Ljubljana, Slovenia – May 2, 2013 – A study published today in PLOS ONE finds that Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) technology is suitable for routine analysis of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food, feed, and seeds. More than 60 countries representing 40 percent of the world's population require labeling of food and feed when GMOs reach certain thresholds. Screening for and quantifying GMOs is essential to the integrity of this labeling policy. "Droplet Digital PCR could replace or be a good alternative to qPCR, the current benchmark in GMO quantification," ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins have identified a gene that, when repressed in tumor cells, puts a halt to cell growth and a range of processes needed for tumors to enlarge and spread to distant sites. The researchers hope that this so-called "master regulator" gene may be the key to developing a new treatment for tumors resistant to current drugs. "This master regulator is normally turned off in adult cells, but it is very active during embryonic development and in all highly aggressive tumors studied to date," says Linda Resar, M.D., an associate professor of medicine, ...

Brain function in adults as young as 35 may decline as their heart disease risk factors increase, according to new research in the American Heart Association journal Stroke. "Young adults may think the consequences of smoking or being overweight are years down the road, but they aren't," said Hanneke Joosten, M.D., lead author and nephrology fellow at the University Medical Center in Groningen, The Netherlands. "Most people know the negative effects of heart risk factors such as heart attack, stroke and renal impairment, but they do not realize it affects cognitive ...

Universal access to modern energy could be achieved with an investment of between 65 and 86 billion US dollars a year up until 2030, new research has shown. The proposed investments are higher than previous estimates but equate to just 3-4 per cent of current investments in the global energy system. The findings, which have been presented today, 3 May, in IOP Publishing's Environmental Research Letters, also include, for the first time, the policy costs for worldwide access to clean-combusting cooking fuels and stoves by 2030. Access to electricity and clean-combusting ...

Lugano-CH, Brussels-BE, 2 May 2013 -- A test that measures the expression levels of 58 genes in oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancers can effectively differentiate between patients who are at higher and lower risk for having their cancer recur elsewhere in the body more than five years after diagnosis, researchers report. The new findings show that better individual risk prediction for women with these cancers is getting nearer, says study author Prof Michael Gnant from the Medical University of Vienna, Austria. Prof Gnant reported the findings at the 5th IMPAKT ...

University of Manchester and National University of Singapore researchers have shown how building multi-layered heterostructures in a three-dimensional stack can produce an exciting physical phenomenon exploring new electronic devices. The breakthrough, published in Science, could lead to electric energy that runs entire buildings generated by sunlight absorbed by its exposed walls; the energy can be used at will to change the transparency and reflectivity of fixtures and windows depending on environmental conditions, such as temperature and brightness. The isolation ...
