A night sweat is a "hot flash" that occurs in the night, often while one is sleeping. A hot flash, also called a hot flush, is a sudden unexpected feeling of warmth and often a breakout of sweating in the upper half of the body. These flashes are experienced by 80% of women around the time of menopause, and men can also have them due to a lessening of testosterone. At night time while a woman sleeps, her body temperature rises steeply just prior to a hot flash, causing her to wake up. The National Sleep Foundation writes that as many as 61% of post-menopausal ...

A recent article from Newsday reveals that although relatively new, electronic cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular. Although electronic cigarettes have been touted by celebrities, many still doubt the overall value and quality of e-cigs. Regal Cigs, an electronic cigarette producer and distributor, notes that while many may continue to assess the worth of the device, there are already many apparent benefits to the use of e-cigs. Regal Cigs believes that much of the consumer reluctance regarding electronic cigarette use comes from a lack of knowledge of how ...

The manufacturer, the New England Compounding Center, has recalled more than 17,000 doses of contaminated steroid injections and experts worry that as many as 14,000 patients could be at risk of contracting meningitis. Although federal investigators are still determining what the manufacturer did wrong to cause the outbreak, Ohio fungal meningitis victims need to know that they have options. This kind of pharmacy ...

A complex modern economy involves a myriad of complex financial transactions every day. This is only natural. As Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations two centuries ago, it's part of human nature to engage in "truck and barter." Today, however, the U.S. Justice Department is increasingly concerned about the use of money from sources that may have been illegal. Truck and barter is one thing, money laundering is quite another. This article will discuss the DOJ's new initiative aimed at confronting money laundering and other forms of white collar crime. ...

Increasing Numbers According to the Missouri Highway Patrol (MHP), the number of people killed in motor vehicle accidents statewide dropped 40 percent between 2005 and 2011. After six years of reduction, however, the number of ...

Police usually secure the scene, take photos, put together accident reports and mark the scene. Marking the scene usually involves using ...

Most individuals across the United States would agree that the summer of 2012 was one of the warmest in recent memory. Temperatures soared well above averages in various cities across the country.

Because recording-breaking heat can compromise the wellbeing of outdoor employees, health and public safety advocates are asking the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to issue a rule protecting construction ...

For people who have a BAP1 gene mutation, however, the gene's ability to restrain cancer does not function ...

Most people involved in child custody battles today are part of Generations X and Y, the two groups that use Facebook and other social media the most. Perhaps your divorce ended because you found out that your spouse cheated ...

The responsibility for reducing car accidents in New Jersey falls on everyone from drivers themselves to auto manufacturers and transportation engineers.

One important focus of such campaigns is ...

With a stroke of his pen in July 2012, Pennsylvania Republican Gov. Tom Corbett changed markedly the state's policies that affect those convicted of crimes going forward. Specifically, the Criminal Justice Reform Act chips away at the long-standing state practice of automatically locking up criminals and throwing away the proverbial key by largely moving nonviolent offenders away from the general penitentiary population and attempting true rehabilitation. Amazingly for such a far-reaching measure, the bill passed both houses of the state legislature unanimously. However, ...

Personal Injury Lawsuits, in General Broadly, a personal injury lawsuit compensates a victim for harm sustained as a result of someone else's negligence.

After a car accident, the case begins when the plaintiff submits all evidence of the incident (including property damage or injuries) to the defendant or the defendant's insurance company. He or she makes a settlement demand on the defendant ...

When Gov. John Kasich signed House Bill 99 in June, Ohio became the 39th state to enact a law banning texting while driving to reduce motor vehicle accidents. The law took effect at the end of August, and a six-month-long warning period will allow law enforcement to warn distracted drivers until officers are eventually allowed to issue citations. Ohio's law against texting while driving provides that no driver shall use a handheld electronic wireless communication device to compose, transmit or review text messages. For most drivers, the law creates a secondary offense, ...
