When Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
2011-06-09
If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence or reckless behavior, you will need a personal injury lawyer to determine if you have a valid legal claim. Most personal injury attorneys offer a free consultation. At the consultation, the personal injury lawyer will listen to the details of your claim and look at any medical reports you have. He or she will then determine if you have a valid claim. Most types of accidents and injuries have time limits called a statute of limitations, so you only have a certain amount of time to file suit after the injury or accident ...
Bed Sores Raise Red Flag for Nursing Home Neglect
2011-06-09
Decubitis ulcers--most often called bed sores or pressure sores--are one of the most common symptoms of nursing home neglect.
The onset of bed sores is easy to spot, with reddish inflammation appearing around bony areas prone to bearing the weight of lengthy immobilization, such as the hips, tailbone and elbows. Although bed sores are treatable in their early stages, they can lead to serious--even life-threatening--health problems if allowed to progress.
The primary cause of bed sores is neglect. When a person is confined to a bed, chair or wheelchair for a lengthy ...
Elder Financial Abuse
2011-06-09
If your elderly loved one requires assistance from others to manage his or her finances, it is important that you pay careful attention to the transactions being made on your loved one's behalf. While many caregivers will truly have your loved one's best interests at heart, there are some individuals who attempt to take advantage of such a relationship for their own financial benefit. If your loved one is defrauded out of money or property due to the decisions made by a caregiver, elder financial abuse has occurred.
It is important to consult with an experienced nursing ...

A recent study, conducted by physicians from Beth Israel Medical Center and Columbia University Medical Center in New York, NY, studying 590 daytime admissions in two intensive care units (ICUs) suggests that non-physician providers can help address these staff shortages. In the study, no significant differences in hospital mortality or other patient outcomes were found between high-acuity, adult ICU units staffed by nurse ...
No such thing as a red or blue state
2011-06-09
Take a random person from a so-called "red state," and the odds are nearly 50/50 that he or she would actually be more liberal on political issues than a random resident of a "blue state."
More specifically, the chances of any one red state citizen scoring more liberal than a blue state citizen are 46 percent on economic issues and 51 percent on social issues.
The research, conducted by political scientists at the University of Pennsylvania and Brigham Young University, paints an entirely different picture of American politics than the popular narrative of a polarized ...

Digital democracy? Study finds elite viewpoints dominate online content
2011-06-09
Anyone with Internet access can generate online content and influence public opinion, according to popular belief. But a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that the social Web is becoming more of a playground for the affluent than a digital democracy.
Despite the proliferation of social media – with Twitter and Facebook touted as playing pivotal roles in such pro-democracy movements as the Arab Spring – the bulk of today's blogs, websites and video-sharing sites represent the perspectives of college-educated, Web 2.0-savvy users, the study ...

Adjuvant combo shows potential for universal influenza vaccine
2011-06-09
Researchers at National Jewish Health have discovered how to prime a second arm of the immune system to potentially boost influenza vaccine effectiveness. A combination of two adjuvants, chemicals used to boost the effectiveness of some vaccines, induced CD8, or killer, T cells to join antibodies in response to influenza infection. Since the killer T cells targeted a highly conserved protein that does not change from year to year, the adjuvant strategy suggests potential for a universal flu vaccine.
"Most vaccines protect against disease by boosting antibody protection," ...
Sweeping studies vindicate genetic theory of autism
2011-06-09
With autism affecting close to one percent of children in the U.S., the urgency to find some sort of explanation for the disorder has never been greater. This week, three studies published in the 9 June issue of Neuron offer a definitive vindication of the theory that spontaneous, or de novo, genetic mutations underlie the development of autism in many families with no history of the disorder.
Two of the new papers, independent microarray studies of unprecedented scale, point to an array of genetic variants that are likely to increase the risk of developing an autism ...
Moderate to intense exercise may protect the brain
2011-06-09
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Older people who regularly exercise at a moderate to intense level may be less likely to develop the small brain lesions, sometimes referred to as "silent strokes," that are the first sign of cerebrovascular disease, according to a new study published in the June 8, 2011, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).
"These 'silent strokes' are more significant than the name implies, because they have been associated with an increased risk of falls and impaired mobility, memory problems and even dementia, ...
Unraveling the complex genetics of autism
2011-06-09

To unravel the ...
Genes provide landmarks on the roadmap of autism
2011-06-09
HOUSTON (June 8, 2011) – Many roads can lead to the same place, often crossing over one another and sometimes passing the same landmarks.
The interactome or protein interaction network for autism spectrum disorders developed by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital in collaboration with scientists at the Center for Cancer Systems Biology (CCSB) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute demonstrates how protein pathways converge, diverge and interact to arrive at the same devastating condition.

Study finds a decline in heart attacks over 20 years, but rising BMIs may reverse this in the future
2011-06-09
Better control of cholesterol levels and blood pressure and a decline in smoking have contributed to a 74% drop in the risk of heart attack among nearly 10,000 civil servants working in London over a 20-year period, according to new research. However, the reduction would have been even greater were it not for the fact that more people became fatter during this time, and this rise in body mass index (BMI) accounted for an estimated 11% increased risk of heart attack over the same period.
In a paper published online today in the European Heart Journal [1], researchers report ...
