Mesothelioma Symptoms Increasingly Important to Recognize

Between 1940 and 1979, it is estimated that 27.5 million people were occupationally exposed to asbestos in the United States. As a result, it is increasingly important that doctors and patients be able to recognize the symptoms of mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer that is nearly always associated with exposure to asbestos. What can make mesothelioma so dangerous is the fact that it is one of the most deadly forms of lung cancer, combined with the fact that it can be so often misdiagnosed as a less serious lung malady.

Brain Injuries Receive Increasing Attention as Signature Injury of Iraq War

As more and more American soldiers return from combat operations in the Iraq War, a disturbing trend is emerging among servicemen and women: a high prevalence of mild or even sever traumatic brain injury. Because of the high incidence of improvised explosive devices (commonly known as IEDs), large numbers of US soldiers are falling victim to concussive injuries and their sometimes debilitating after-effects. These after-effects can stretch on for months, even years, and may require more treatment than the military can provide. Also potentially dangerous are those brain injuries that go undiagnosed until after a soldier has been discharged, creating a position where compensation or treatment for the injury may be more difficult to get.

Airbag Failures Lead to Recalls

Although airbags are one of the great automotive safety innovations of our time, sometimes defective airbags can fail when motorists might rely on them most to provide potentially life-saving protection during a collision. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is constantly monitoring the situation surrounding airbags and whether they are being held to strict quality standards. Even with this constant monitoring, safety hazards do occur where airbags fail and do not protect automobile passengers as they should.
