Specialty Ophthalmology Practices
2011-06-16
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that focuses on treating and preventing eye disease. An ophthalmologist must have completed medical school, one year as an intern, and three years residency in ophthalmology where they receive specific training in performing things such as laser eye surgery, cataract removal, and surgeries that address refractive errors.

Seeking Bankruptcy Protection to Discharge Student Loans
2011-06-16
Even with the economy beginning to recover, many former students are still struggling with loan debts. The average college graduate is leaving school with $24,000 in debt, estimates The Project on Student Debt, a study of the nonprofit The Institute for College Access and Success.
And that does not even include professional school obligations. According to a 2003 American Bar Association study, average law school grad student loan debt even at that time was $70,000 to $80,000, and the figures are certainly higher now. Even worse, the average medical school graduate in ...
Dallas Motorcyclist, Sandwiched Between Two Cars, Survives
2011-06-16
Motorcyclists are well aware that drivers of cars and other vehicles on the road often "just don't see them" -- or at least claim not to see them. As a result, bikers learn to be very vigilant to avoid accidents. But sometimes there isn't much the biker can do to avoid a crash when the other driver is distracted or otherwise not paying attention, as Dallas motorcyclist Zacharie Perez learned recently.
Perez, a 25-year-old Iraq War veteran, was riding his motorcycle on a Dallas tollway in March of this year when the cars ahead of him slowed down. The car behind ...
Proposed Hours of Service Regulations for Commercial Drivers
2011-06-16
On December 29, 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) proposed revisions to regulations regarding the hours of service (HOS) for property-carrying commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. This new rule was prompted by the federal agency's concerns about the impact of fatigued drivers on overall highway safety. However, the proposed regulations has prompted opponents to lobby the White House to maintain the current rule and abandon any attempt to change it.
Under the proposed changes, the FMSCA favors a 10-hour service time limit on commercial drivers, ...
Debtors Filing Bankruptcy Have Rights Under HAMP
2011-06-16
Last June, new guidelines took effect that afforded homeowners greater protection in keeping their homes. The Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) now allows homeowners to seek a modification even though they have filed for bankruptcy protection. Prior to this change, the mortgage company could deny the modification if the Chapter 7 debtor did not reaffirm the mortgage debt. This was a common fate for people who had lost their jobs and were unable to make their previous payments. HAMP now gives those seeking bankruptcy a way to stay in their home while making amends. ...
Video Hearings Being Used By SSA to Help With Case Backlog
2011-06-16
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has been plagued by a backlog for disability hearings for the last half dozen years. Underfunding and understaffing are part of the cause.
Every year from 1998 through 2007, the President's Budget requested less than the Commissioner's requested budget, and Congress appropriated even less than the President's request.
The number of pending cases has increased dramatically since 1999, reaching an all-time record high of 768,540 cases in December 2008.
Through February 2009, the number dropped slightly to 765,527, but has ...

Study examines link between teen sex and divorce rate
2011-06-16
A University of Iowa study found that women who make their sexual debut as young teens are more likely to divorce, especially if "the first time" was unwanted, or if she had mixed feelings about it.
Published in the April issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family, the analysis found that 31 percent of women who had sex for the first time as teens divorced within five years, and 47 percent divorced within 10 years. The divorce rate for women who delayed sex until adulthood was far lower: 15 percent at five years, and 27 percent at 10 years.

How Upcoming Litigation Cost Reform Will Affect Personal Injury Law in the UK
2011-06-16
Lord Justice Jackson's proposed litigation cost reforms are likely to have a far ranging impact on personal injury law in the UK.
At present the losing party in a personal injury claim will usually pay both the relevant insurance costs and the success fee that a personal injury solicitor can charge in a successful no-win, no-fee claim. The successful claimant may also keep 100% of the damages awarded if agreed with their solicitor.
In a recent survey carried out by the lobbying group Access to Justice, 77% of personal injury claimants admitted that they would not ...

Would advertisers jump on the opportunity to reach consumers in a new way?
These questions formed the basis of a two year experiment by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, conducted in collaboration with Samsung Advanced Institute ...
Sugar-binding protein may play a role in HIV infection
2011-06-16
Though it is known that PDI inhibitors can prevent HIV infection, just how this happens has remained a mystery. And though it has been known that PDI, which normally lives inside the cell, can become entrapped on the cell's surface, it has not been understood how this happens.
Now, in a new study, UCLA researchers report that a sugar-binding protein called galectin-9 traps PDI on T-cells' surface, making them more susceptible to HIV infection.
IMPACT:
The findings could lead researchers to a potential new target for anti-HIV therapeutics, such ...
