It is imperative that individuals are aware of the potential dangers that can occur and how to protect themselves from that risk. Hernia Patch Defect Sparks Potential Recall Hernia patches have been widely used as a medical alternative to keep individuals at less of a risk for hernia rupture. However, the Kugel Mesh Patches have been linked to several severe side effects because of defective hernia patches. Reading the Symptoms of Tendon Rupture Tendon rupture is a serious and painful condition that can be caused by an array of physical activities. However, one of the most recent risks causing Achilles tendon tears is the consumption of the fluoroquinolone prescription drugs and antibiotics including Cipro. Researchers Uncover Potentially New Abdominal Mesothelioma Treatment Individuals who suffer from pleural mesothelioma may be at risk for what is known as abdominal mesothelioma or peritoneal mesothelioma. The cancerous cells often can spread from the lung lining into the lining of the abdomen. A new study has found a potential new drug treatment to help improve the patients lives. More on Water Contaminants Although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the Clean Water Act in 1972 and the Safe Drinking Water Act in 1974, water contamination still occurs. It is extremely important for individuals to know and understand the types of contaminants that may occur in order to avoid or treat any contaminations. Benlate Fungicide Causes Birth Defects Benlate is a fungicide that was developed by DuPont. It had been used on crops around the world, however, research began to surface linking the main ingredient, benomyl, to birth defects among women exposed to the fungicide. It was removed from shelves in 2001, but not before hundreds and possibly even thousands were put at risk. Silica Workers at Risk When silica dust is inhaled it causes a severe lung disease known as silicosis. Individuals who work with silica should be aware of the extreme dangers associated with this line of work and their employers must also make employees aware of these risks. Carcinogenic Vinyl Chloride a Health Risk Vinyl chloride has been deemed a carcinogenic substance by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Additionally, the substance has been found to be so toxic that there is no level of safe exposure. Contaminated Soil Soil contamination can occur in many ways but occurs when hazardous waste filters into soil, contaminating and potentially causing irritation to humans. Soil contamination can occur when contaminants, even airborne bind with the soil and become mixed with it.

High Numbers of Australian Workers Report of Mesothelioma Cancer Diagnosis The number of victims suffering from mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis in Australia is continually rising and within the next several years experts anticipate that number to increase. Researchers even went as far as suggesting that at least 900 individuals in Australia alone will die a year from asbestosis. Mesothelioma Cancer Patients Receive No Benefits From Chemotherapy Malignant pleural mesothelioma, one of the worse forms of mesothelioma cancer caused through asbestos inhalation, was recently discovered to be untreatable through chemotherapy. Often, chemotherapy is used to combat cancerous cells, providing a better chance of survival for victims. Recently Approved for Children, Levaquin Makes Headlines for Severe Risks Levaquin, an antibiotic, used to treat bacterial infections has been linked to a number of studies suggesting the prescription drug's side effects may be severe. One of the alleged side effects includes tendon rupture, that some have said may cause permanent damgage or require surgery to repair. Toxic Levels of Digitek Digoxin Causes Recall Digitek digoxin is a prescription drug widely used for individuals suffering from heart conditions such as congestive heart failure or irregular heart rhythms. However, a recent manufacturer's error caused the drug to be released with double the dose prescribed, potentially causing toxicity among patients. Scientists Study Brain Injury Treatment Each year, millions of Americans are tragically affected by a mild to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is one of the most overlooked injury and individuals suffering from TBI go untreated, while suffering severe consequences. However, as treatment options grow, more individuals can be helped to overcome the adverse complications associated with TBI. TBI Prevention and Demographics Scientists continually strive do uncover research related to if certain individuals are more susceptible to traumatic brain injury (TBI) compared to others. Looking at age and gender, researchers are attempting to pinpoint TBI causes in order to provide preventable measures to potential victims. Dangers of Welding Rod Gases Welding has been a profession within America for decades, and while it remains an important part of the construction industry, often welders are exposed to very dangerous gases and chemicals. Using welding rods, which is a popular form of welding can produce maganese, which then increases the amount of toxicity inhaled by a welder. Portfolio Investments and Understanding Failure to Diversify When seeking out an experienced investor to help ensure that your financials are well taken care of, it's important for an individual to look at the track record of an individual or company's failure to diversify, which is when an investor does not apply financials to a wide range of opportunities within a portfolio, and if this occurs and an individual loses money, they may be entitled to a lawsuit. Litigation For Investor Negligence If Retirement Funds are Lost Planning for the future and especially for retirement can be a daunting task in and of itself. However, individuals often seek the help of investors who specialize in pension plans and knowing the law can often be a saving grace for many. That is until recently, as the rash of unethical practices of stockbrockers, investors and corporations has reached an all-time high. Lung Cancer Linked To Silica Silica is the world's second most common mineral and it is also an extremely damaging mineral that, when inhaled, can cause lung cancer, tuberculosis, renal failure, etc. Silica dust exists in many work environments and hundreds of employees work in and around it without knowledge of the extreme danger they are in. It is important to know the effects of silica to protect oneself. Uncovering the Truth In Trasylol Trasylol-Aprotinin, an injectable drug used to stop bleeding for patients undergoing surgical procedures such like heart or kidney disease, was once praised as being a perfectly safe drug. However, additional studies and research proved otherwise causing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to warn doctors of the adverse side effects of the drug that include renal failure. Bicycle Accident Prevention Every six hours, one bicyclist is said to be killed on average. Most bicycle accidents are highly avoidable and can be prevented through taking proper safety measures. The number one killer of bicyclists are collision accidents, which account for 75 to 80 percent of accidents. Automated Defibrillators Automated external defibrillators (AED) are widely used throughout the country and stored in areas where large gatherings of individuals may be at risk of cardiac failure. An AED is a portable electronic device that treats cardiac arrest by shooting an electric shock into the heart to resynchronize the heart beat rhythm. But when these devices fail, the increase of death by cardiac arrest rises. How Creosote Adversely Affects Americans Creosotes including coal tar, coal tar pitch or coal tar pitch volatiles has been deemed extremely hazardous to human health. Side effects include kidney or liver disease, convulsions, chemical burns, cancer - and in some instances scrotum cancer. Laboratory studies conducted on animals found that even the smallest levels of exposure to wood creosote caused death. Boat Crashes and the Serious Outcome Boating is a favorite summer pastime enjoyed by Americans all across the country. However, for many, boating can quickly turn dangerous and deadly, and is the cause of many accidental deaths because of negligence, improper safety gear, alcohol consumption among other factors. To ensure safety among boaters and guests, the proper precautions must always be taken. Risk of Heart Attack Not Reduced With Prescribed Zetia Zetia is a cholesterol lowering prescription drug that uses another generic ingredient known as Vytorin. However, a study of the two drugs uncovered that while being more expensive than other more generic versions, Zetia and Vytorin did not lower cholesterol and were less likely to decrease the risk of heart disease and heart attack. Investments and Fiduciary Responsibility When someone is endowed with fiduciary responsibilities then they are responsible for another individual’s money and potentially investing those monetary funds. Fiduciary liability can occur for many reasons, for example if investment advice provided by a broker caused inappropriate loss based on what an individual asked for, the broker may be held responsible. Legal Complications Increase with Silicosis Silicosis is an incurable lung disease condition, similar to mesothelioma cancer, in which individuals mining crystalline silica and breathing in the dust can become infected and die within only a few years. Ailments Caused by Diesel Exhaust Exposure Thousands of Americans are at risk of being exposed to diesel exhaust, especially those who work in or around diesel exhaust such as railroad workers. For years, the risks of chronic exposure have been studied but disregarded by many, although diesel exhaust can be the cause of many conditions including cancer. Sexual Harassment From Supervisor to Employee When an individual goes to work each day, they expect to command a certain amount of respect, whether they be a woman or man, married, single, dating, etc. It is illegal for an employer to pressure an employee into doing sexual acts for promotions or favoritism in the work place. Protecting Yourself From Harmful Cholesterol Lowering Drugs Zetia, as well as Vytorin, are prescription drugs given to patients who suffer from high cholesterol and an increased risk of heart disease. However, while Zetia is supposed to lower the growth of plaque within the arteries, it was recently discovered to actually do the opposite. News reports have linked the drug to several studies showing an increased growth of plaque among victims. When A Trainer is Held Liable For Actions of A Trainee While there are not many cases where an individual professional athelete has developed a lawsuit against a professional trainer or a professional coach, the law has recognized that a specific legal responsibility exists between these two parties. Additionally, what is more common is the legal responsibilities existing between a coach and a student athelete. How to Protect Yourself From Salmonella Salmonella is a common food-borne illness and that causes a condition known as salmonellosis. It can occur when a consuming a contaminated food item -- anything that is derived from an animal including meat and dairy. It is uncommon for salmonella to thrive in a high-fat, low-moisture environment such as peanut butter, which may have made the salmonella threat much worse as it came as a surprise. Controversy Over Side Effects of Trasylol Injections Trasylol-aprotinin is an injectable drug administered to individuals usually undergoing heart surgery or kidney disease procedures. Trasylol controls the blood during these medical procedures. However, it was recently discovered that Trasylol's side effects may actually worsen the condition of patient's by causing them to develop heart disease, kidney failure, stroke or death. What a Social Host Needs to Know Before Serving Their Guests Many people enjoy a party or wedding where alcohol is served and the ability to let go after a long week is provided. However, when an individual consumes too much alcohol and goes on to cause a car crash in which they or others are harmed, the fault of the accident falls on the shoulders of the party's host under social host liquor liability laws, which many individuals are unaware of. PCB Contamination Polychlorinated Biphenyls, otherwise known as PCBs, are a mixture of compounds that were used as coolants and lubricants in transformers, capacitors and other electrical equipment because of their ability to insulate well without burning off easily. However, PCBs can cause an array of side effects ranging from the mild - such as acne and rashes -- to the severe, which includes neurobehavioral and immunological in children. Moisture Plus Contact Lens Solution Recalled One of the largest contact lens solution recalls to occur happened when a moisture plus lens solution became infected with a severe and potentially eye-blinding disease known as Acanthamoeba Keratitis. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recalled the solutions after interviews with victims. Only a year later, an unrelated recall occurred again with the same company, Advanced Medical Optics (AMO). Learn and Protect Yourself From MTBEs Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is one of the various additives used to oxygenate gasoline and can be a severe side effect to individuals working in and around gasoline. Unfortunately, it can also affect an individual on their commute home from work while they sit in traffic as well as when they fill up their gas tank. It's important to know how to check and protect yourself from MTBE contamination. Illnesses and Diseases Caused by Contamination Soil contamination as well as water contamination can occur in several different ways and can have extreme harmful reactions on the human body. Some of these illnesses and diseases that result from water and soil contamination range from liver and kidney damage to cancers to neurological effects. It is important for individuals to recognize when contamination occurs and what to do about it to protect themselves. FDA Issues Chantix Public Heatlh Advisory Chantix is an oral medication prescribed to individuals who are trying to quit smoking. However, recent reports from patient's taking the drug have associated it with depressive side effects including suicidal thoughts, behaviors and psychotic episodes. The FDA has increased the warning label of the drug and are encouraging patient's using the medication to speak with their doctors immediately if any of these side effects occur. Uncovering the Severity in A Traumatic Brain Injury Victim When an individual suffers injury from an accident they are usually treated rather quickly at the nearby hospital or physician's office. However, when an individual endures a traumatic brain injury that is severe enough for them to go into a coma, there is no easy way to treat that patient. Because of this, the Glasgow and Rancho Los Amigos Scales of evaluating coma patients was developed. Harmful Reactions To Prescriptions Drugs: What it Can Do to Your Body Each year, hundreds and possibly thousands of Americans die or are harmed by prescription drug and over the counter drug reactions. In can be a scary situation for patients to endure side effects from using drugs, and two common illnesses that can occur are Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidural Necrolysis Syndrome (TEN), which are both adverse skin infections. Osteoporosis Increases in Users of Diabetic Drug Millions of Americans suffer from type 2 diabetes and many of those individuals have been prescribed the prescription drug Avandia, however, recent studies have linked Avandia to osteoporosis as well as heart disease. A study found that long-term use of the drug may cause bones to become less dense and more prone to fractures as well as speeding up the process of osteoporosis.

Memory Loss and Brain Injuries Patients who suffer from traumatic brain injuries often also suffer from memory loss. This condition could be very temporary, but it could also be permanent. A brain injury where the brain is pushed against the edge of the skull, causing swelling which leads to temporary memory loss. Another type of brain damage is when the actual nerves are damaged, which causes permanent memory loss. Crashworthiness: A Legal Doctrine Although there are many outside factors in a car accident, one factor that is often downplayed is the crashworthiness of the car. This refers to the car manufacturer and if the car was made to withstand an accident or not. A car that cannot endure impact from an accident can be the cause of injury to the passengers in the car. Fatality of Construction Accidents Construction workers who work on construction sites have the highest risk of being in a fatal accident than any other workers. In fact, one out of every five workplace deaths are construction workers. Although not all accidents are fatal, the amount of non-fatal accidents is staggeringly high, as well. Because most construction companies are small, they have no proper job safety regulations in place. Helping a Loved One Who Has Suffered a Brain Injury When a person is a victim of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is not only them who suffers the consequences. Family members who are caring for the patient after they have been released from medical care are also susceptible to adverse affects. It is important that family members caring for the victim are supported as well so that they can uphold a positive support system to aid in a smooth recovery. Substance Abuse and Its Relation to Traumatic Brain Injuries Often patients who have been hospitalized for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) leave the hospital still in pain or with depression. To combat these feelings, patients repeatedly turn to substances such as alcohol and drugs. However, when a patient is in the hospital with a substance abuse problem, the symptoms of that are so similar to the symptoms of a brain injury that the brain injury can be overlooked. Options for Treating and Curing Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) is a crippling disease mainly found in patients with kidney failure. The disease has been linked to a dye known as gadolinium used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Presently, there is no specific treatment for NSF although several different types of cures have been tried. These consist of improving current kidney conditions, oral steroids, and physical therapy. However, the best treatment is prevention. Sports Injury and Traumatic Brain Injury Athletes make up a large part of the population suffering from brain injuries every year. Usually the brain injuries are from contact sports such as football, hockey, boxing, and martial arts. The main injury focused on is concussions, and many athletes receive multiple concussions. The dangers of multiple concussions are great and can be as severe as causing death. Even when the effect isn't fatal, brain damage can occur. Risks of SUV Rollovers Sports Utility Vehicles have the highest rates of death in rollover accidents. Despite these sobering statistics, the SUV manufacturers have done very little to raise the safety rating of SUVs. The most likely cause of death in a rollover accident is due to the roof not having enough support and crashing in. Even though the roof supports may appear stable, the actual amount of impact they can handle is very low and not be made well. Asbestos- An Ancient Link to Deadly Mesothelioma Asbestos is a fire-proof and hardy mineral often used in construction. However, despite its conveniences, the asbestos dust and fibers when inhaled can lead to deadly lung cancers, such as mesothelioma. Workers who were exposed to asbestos often are not aware that they are in danger as mesothelioma has a long latency period and symptoms of it may not appear for up to forty years after exposure. Often tradespeople are at the highest risk. Motorcycle Accidents Relating to Brain Injuries It is a well known fact that motorcycle accidents are one of the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries. Motorcyclists are often difficult for auto drivers to see and are therefore more susceptible to injuries than those driving the automobiles. Every study conducted has shown that the best preventative measure against severe injuries is to wear a helmet. However, even those who wear helmets are vulnerable to brain injuries from accidents. Snowmobile Accidents: A Growing Risk As snowmobiling becomes increasingly popular, individuals should be aware of the risks associated with this sport. These risks can include drinking while snowmobiling or rising a snowmobile in unsafe conditions. Symptoms of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) is a potentially fatal disease of the skin and inner organs. It is thought that there is a correlation between a dye called gadolinium used in MRI patients and NSF. However, this connection has only been found in patients who received the gadolinium dye but who also had mild to serious kidney diseases. Because this disease was only discovered recently, currently there is no definitive cure. Rare and Serious, Mesothelioma is a Dangerous Disease Mesothelioma is a rare lung type of lung cancer usually associated with exposure to asbestos. It has a long latency period which means that people who are exposed to asbestos usually do not have the disease show up for 20 to 40 years. Frequently Asked Questions About Mesothelioma Lawsuits A diagnosis of mesothelioma as a result of industrial asbestos exposure can be daunting, both emotionally and logistically. A myriad of questions appear that can seem at first difficult to find answers for. This article serves as a guide to those most-often asked questions concerning mesothelioma and filing a lawsuit dealing with mesothelioma. Seat Belt Use and Traumatic Brain Injury With car accidents causing thousands of traumatic brain injuries every year, it is important to understand what precautionary measures can be undertaken to prevent these horrible injuries. First and foremost, use of a seatbelt while driving can greatly reduce a person's risk. Construction Site Accidents: Who's at Risk? Millions of individuals are injured in construction site accidents every year, with many unable to return to work for a considerable period of time if ever. Understanding the causes and risks associated with construction site accidents can greatly help with recovery as well as prevention and aid in gaining due compensation.
