One of the things that recommend porcelain as a material for making dental restorations is its high level of durability. However, durability is not the first thing on most people's minds when they hear the word, "porcelain." Instead, people think of fragile figurines in curio cabinets, things that are all too fragile. Many of us have a memory of something porcelain broken, and the disappointed look on the face of mother or grandmother that was so much more painful than their anger. But dental porcelain is actually a highly durable material and capable of lasting ...

North Carolina's "move over" law, the statute that dictates that cars passing by a stopped official vehicle on the side of the road give a wide berth, just got tougher. Found in Section 20-157 of North Carolina's general statutes, the move over law has been in effect for years, and commands drivers traveling by emergency service vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire trucks) with blue lights flashing to shift at least one lane to the left (or to the right, if the stopped vehicle is in the left-hand lane or in a center median) in order to provide safe clearance. ...

The survey asked 1,000 people who have a driver's license, own a mobile phone and who drive at least one hour per week. From a safety standpoint, the results were shocking. The survey found that ...

In the years since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, there has been a lot of discussion about the issue of post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse among returning servicemembers. While this increased visibility is certainly helpful, PTSD and addiction are by no means new problems in the military community. Because of the stress they have experienced, combat veterans are more likely to experience issues with mental health or illegal drugs. The unique mindset that servicemembers have also means that they are often more unlikely to ask for help if problems ...

In the wake of a school bus accident involving an allegedly impaired bus driver on Oct. 3 in Long Island, a number of New York state officials have been calling for ignition interlock devices to be installed on school buses.

Scientists at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have found evidence that liver mitochondria in mice adapt to become better metabolizers of alcohol and increase in number after chronic exposure, which may raise the potential for free radical damage associated with aging and cancer over time. The liver is a vital organ, playing a major role in metabolism and detoxification in the body. Overconsumption of alcohol has long been tied to liver diseases such as fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis, but how the substance damages ...
