Fortunately, there are plenty of pet sitters who are ...

Since 2000, approximately 245,000 men and women who have served in the military have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury, otherwise known as TBI. The majority of those cases were mild; but, even mild traumatic brain injuries can be highly disruptive to daily life. Unlike severe brain injuries, mild TBI can be harder to detect. Sometimes a mild TBI is not recognized for weeks or even months after an accident. Recent publicity has focused attention on studies demonstrating that TBI is often not recognized in athletes until long after the injury occurs. For example, ...

The federal government is constantly working to increase the safety of all people on the road by implementing safety rules for trucks and other commercial vehicles. One way that this has been accomplished is by limiting the number of hours that a truck driver can be behind the wheel -- called hours of service rules -- to help cut down on driver fatigue. To record their hours, many drivers use a paper log, but some use electronic onboard recorders. In a short amount of time, however, all drivers will be required to have EOBR in their vehicles. A bill signed on July 6, ...

Every person has a right to the personal integrity of his or her body. No one should ever be forced, coerced or misled into having his or her bodily integrity violated, but especially when it involves health care procedures and the medical professionals we trust. Pennsylvania law recognizes this and requires that "informed consent" be given prior to medical procedures being performed. People often only think of informed consent as the act of signing a piece of paper before undergoing a medical procedure; essentially, just officially agreeing to it. But informed ...

Stability, continuity, a sense of belonging -- these features of daily life that most of us take for granted are essential to a child's emotional wellbeing.

In the climactic scenes of crime thrillers, the "good guys," often portrayed by the police or someone within a criminal syndicate, wear a wire (a recording device) to catch the "bad guy" admitting to his crimes. In the movies, the bad guy often slips up and is recorded stating what the plan or crime is/was, and then the recording is used by prosecutors to convict the bad guy of various criminal charges. Until recently, a scene like this would not play out in Illinois, unless the police went before a judge, presented evidence and received authorization. ...

You've probably seen it on TV: the police arrest someone, and read them their "Miranda rights." But do you know as much as you should about what these rights really mean? Although they are sometimes referred to as "Miranda rights," the rights contained in a Miranda warning actually come from the U.S. Constitution and its state-level equivalent. The Miranda warning is a reminder that police must give to suspects before conducting any custodial questioning -- if police fail to give a Miranda warning, any incriminating statements that a suspect makes ...

By 2030 Maryland and the rest of the nation can expect the population of seniors to be nearly double what it is today. Along with the increased number of elderly come increased health concerns, including the often-overlooked issue of mental health problems.

A recent eye-opening study from the Institute of Medicine reports that there are not enough medical personnel trained ...
