Why has Salmonella been in the news recently?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been receiving reports, from many states, of illnesses caused by a type of Salmonella called Salmonella Typhimurium. Several deaths may also be associated with this outbreak. Tests indicate that the people who became sick may have eaten the same contaminated food, because they were infected with the same strain of Salmonella Typhimurium (i.e., the strain of Salmonella shared the same genetic “fingerprint”). Additional information on the numbers of illness and the states in which they occurred can be found at www.cdc.gov/salmonella/typhimurium/.

Is the salmonellosis outbreak definitely linked to peanut butter?

A combination of epidemiological analysis and laboratory testing by state officials in Minnesota and Connecticut, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and CDC enabled FDA to confirm that the sources of the outbreak were peanut butter and peanut paste produced by the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) at its Blakely, Georgia, processing plant. Peanut paste is a concentrated product consisting of ground, roasted peanuts that is distributed to food manufacturers to be used as an ingredient in many commercially produced products including cakes, cookies, crackers, candies, cereal and ice cream.

FDIC – Home Loan Modification Help

Homeowners are missing their mortgage payments and looking into refinancing if possible or just foreclosing on their home.  But there is another option available and at this point, not many are taking full advantage of it.  This is doing a home loan modification.

Homeowners are slowing realizing that a loan modification can help lower a monthly mortgage to a more affordable payment.  Not all loans can be modified.  Both the lender and the borrower have to agree.  Until last week lenders did have the incentive to do a loan modification.  However, last week the FDIC announced a program that gives lenders the incentive they need to begin evaluating all loans and determining which would be a candidate for a loan modification.

Some homeowners want to use a loan modification as an opportunity to increase their loan amount.  This will not work in a loan modification scenario.  When a loan is processed there is usually an amount that is taxed.  After a loan modification, the interest rate, the monthly principal, and term length can change which then leaves nothing to be taxed.  Conversely, if the loan amount increases, then the government will recognize that there is something to tax.

Another reason why increasing a loan amount through a loan modification will not work is because it may impact a second or third lender.  Many homeowners have a first loan but also a second loan used as a home equity loan.  If the amount of the first loan increases, the risk of the lender of the second loan increases as well.  If the homeowner forecloses the first lender will be paid first, and whatever monies is left over goes to any subsequent lenders.  If the amount of the loan is higher, there may be little to no money left for other lenders.

Overall, a homeowner is better off choosing to do a loan modification in oppose to a refinance of their home loan.  Homeowners are often told that there will be no closing costs in doing a refinance of their loan, so think this is a better, cheaper option than doing a loan modification.  “No closing costs” can simply means that the lender is going through a different route to make their money i.e. a higher rate, higher loan amount, prepayment penalty or all three.

A homeowner has every right to deal directly with the lender for a loan modification.  However, a homeowner is much more likely to see better results after consulting with an attorney. San Diego Law Firm Kerry Steigerwalt’s Pacific Law Center will be helping with home loan modifications in San Diego, CA

What is Raptiva

What is Raptiva?
Raptiva is an immunosuppressant. Immunosuppressants decrease the actions of the body’s immune system.

Raptiva is used in the treatment of psoriasis.

Raptiva is a once-weekly injection approved for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic (whole body) therapy or phototherapy. The drug works by suppressing T-cells (blood cells that help fight infection) in the immune system.

These cells, when activated, migrate to the skin and cause inflammation which results in the red, inflamed and scaly patches of skin, which is associated with psoriasis. By suppressing T-cells, Raptiva decreases the function of the immune system which increases a patient’s susceptibility to infections.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued Raptiva Side Effects Warning a public health advisory concerning three confirmed, and one possible report of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection, in patients using the psoriasis drug Raptiva (efalizumab).

Drugs do not address the root cause of bedwetting

Drugs do not address the root cause of bedwetting: A deep sleep disorder.

If pills and nasal sprays are being used and show some effectiveness, once the drugs are discontinued, the bedwetting will resume. They are merely a temporary fix, and have many side effects. For 32 years, the Enuresis Treatment Center has successfully treated thousands of people from around the world by establishing a new and healthy pattern of sleep.

The Enuresis Treatment Center cures bedwetting without the use of drugs. Physicians bring their own children for treatment instead of subjecting them to drugs. The Enuresis Treatment Center has put together an informative guide to understanding and treating bedwetting.

This free bedwetting guide is available to download at www.freebedwettingguide.com.

Promise for Detecting Lung Cancer

Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Procedure Shows Promise for Detecting Lung Cancer.
Use of a minimally invasive technique called endoscopy to detect lung cancer may be more effective than more complicated and invasive standard procedures.

These findings were recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. There are three types of lung cancer: non–small cell, small cell, and mesothelioma. Non–small cell and small cell lung cancers are the most common types of lung cancer, whereas mesothelioma is a rare form of lung cancer that attacks the lining of the lung tissue.

Unfortunately, survival rates for lung cancer are low because the disease is often found once it has spread within the lung or to other organs. In an attempt to improve patient outcomes, a great deal of research has focused on lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment.

Nursing Home Abuse – Ohio Nurse Accused of Rape

SANDUSKY, Ohio — John Riems would leave Christmas cards on car windshields and barely wave to neighbors. The exceptionally private night-side nurse and his wife seldom had visitors to their tidy mobile home near Lake Erie. His co-workers said he had a temper and would swear at patients.

Officials say Riems had far more concerning behavior: the 49-year-old is accused of raping, nursing home abuse and assaulting a paralyzed patient.; the victim list could reach 100 if investigators believe what Riems claims.

Asbestos fine possible for University

Winona State University faces a proposed fine of $24,500 for seven serious workplace safety violations related to asbestos removal from dormitories and other campus locations this year.

The university repaired or replaced insulation without taking the necessary precautions to protect workers from asbestos, according to the complaint from the state Occupational Safety and Health Division.

James Honerman, an OSHA spokesman, said he could not provide any details about the citations, which the university received last month, because Winona State has contested the allegations and the matter has not been resolved.

What is Asbestos ?

How does asbestos cause Mesothelioma ?

Cristeen Custer, assistant vice president of marketing and communications at Winona State, said the university is cooperating with OSHA. “We take it seriously, and we do believe that we’ll come to a very positive result with our discussions with OSHA,” she said.

When asked whether students may have been exposed to asbestos during any of the repair work, Custer said: “Obviously student safety is of critical importance to us and we would never jeopardize or take liberties with student or worker health. If there was a concern we would have alerted students.”

Nursing Home Abuse and Injury -Breaking The Silence Of Caregiver Abuse

Thanks to power, greed, and political manipulation, many long-term nursing facilities have become the rendering plants for our mothers, fathers, and disabled relatives. In recent years, nursing home abuse has become a widespread issue throughout the United States.

Since 2007 marks the beginning of another election year, healthcare issues are on the lips of every candidate clamoring to become the next president. Although these parties have opposing views on everything from the war in Iraq to legalized abortion, one of the most common themes for both the democrat and republican parties is their desire to let big business run our schools, prisons, and healthcare facilities.

Elder Abuse Helplines and Hotlines:
To be refered to law firms that represent the finest in helping victims of nursing home or elder abuse in their state call the Free Legal Hotline 1-888-776-5380
If the situation is serious, threatening, or dangerous call 911 or the local police for immediate help.

Thanks to political parties that allow private interests and private services to become monopolized, organizations like nursing homes continue to stay a big business, making big profits.Whenever we think about nursing homes, we envision the elderly, lined up in wheelchairs, not recognizing their family or friends. Most of the time, they are our parents and grandparents, our spouses’. Sometimes they are our children. Within that vision are other people that contribute to a piece of that puzzle. They are the caregivers hired to watch over them. Usually,they are the angels of mercy. Sometimes, they are the angels of death.
