Toll Free: 866-761-1385 How common are injuries from heavy truck accidents? An accident involving a heavy truck, 18-wheeler, semi, big tractor-trailer truck, often results in death or serious injury. The statistics are shocking. Over 1 million people were involved in nearly 500,000 large truck related accidents in 1999. That resulted in over 5,000 deaths and over 140,000 injuries. Of those injuries from heavy truck accidents, 10's of thousands involved severe brain damage or the loss of limb. Some trucks weigh over 100,000 lbs when fully loaded. Unloaded, they still weigh over 10,000 lbs. That is 5-10 times the weight of a car. This problem of heavy truck accidents has been around for years, and the...

Caffeine, like chocolate, often receives bad publicity. Whilst in some instances, and in excess, these can have negative effects on our body, they can also be quite beneficial. I am not disputing that some people are more sensitive to the negative effects of either caffeine or chocolate. For example, excess caffeine can create anxiety, nausea (particularly if taken on an empty stomach), an increase in heart rate, and even depression in some people. And chocolate is certainly not something that should form the mainstay of one's diet. If struggling with sugar addiction, or wanting to lose weight, there are more nutritionally complete foods that are available. But scientists have turned up some...

Like snowflakes, or so they say, every brain is different. Brain injuries have just as many variations. Brain injuries can be severe or mild, permanent or temporary, immediate or arise some time after a trauma. Persons with brain injuries may not realize that they have them or may shrug off the damage that can be caused by a concussion, a blow from a trauma or accident, or even from the heat. Head and brain injuries have multiple causes, and varying lengths of time are needed to recover from them. Since it may take a brain damaged person to recognize another, we at the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson like to think of ourselves as moderately brain damaged as well. Head injuries, if not...

Up to now the primary focus for healthy solutions has been about waiting for the greatest and latest medicated solutions to solve our healthy goal issues easily and without any real effort on our part. The result: the great majority of people aren't reaching their healthy goals to stop smoking, lose weight or achieve healthy fitness. That's right you aren't the only one who hasn't been succeeding. You also aren't the only one who has been trying to achieve a healthy goal all on your own without success. Everyone has had an excuse for not achieving their healthy goals up to now because up to now, there hasn't been any way to get help to stay committed and succeed at achieving difficult healthy goals...

You may have heard that your left brain, or rather the left hemisphere of your brain, is different from your right brain. What are the differences, and how do you use both more effectively? The terms "left brain" and "right brain" refer to the left and right hemispheres of your brain. They each tend to process things differently, as explained in the following two paragraphs. However, the following are generalizations. They hold true for over 90% of right-handed people, and only 70% of left-handed people. In the cases where they aren't true, the division of labor and processing styles is usually still there, but reversed, with the right side handling the things that most people's left side handles...

Cancer cells reproduce but they don't die. They're sort of like evil immortals. The body just can't kill them no matter how hard it tries. Brain cancer is abnormal growths of cells in the brain. Although such growths are popularly called brain tumors, not all brain tumors are cancer. Cancer is a term reserved for malignant tumors. Malignant tumors grow and spread aggressively, overpowering healthy cells by taking their space, blood, and nutrients. (Like all cells of the body, tumor cells need blood and nutrients to survive.) Tumors that do not spread aggressively are called benign. In general, a benign tumor is less serious than a malignant tumor. But a benign tumor can still cause many problems in...

When choosing a herb to improve memory, people usually want to know how fast will the effects appear, what the side effects are and what is the price of the treatment. They are recommended to make a comparison between the medicinal plants, in order to pick the best herb to improve memory. In most of the cases, the effectiveness increases once with the number of ways in which the herb can improve memory. Ginkgo biloba, for example can enhance the blood flow to the brain, enhance the circulation throughout the entire body, prevent cholesterol from turning into plaque, fighting free radicals and improving the mood. People are recommended to look at ginkgo biloba as their first options, as many...

Have you ever noticed how your favorite music can make you feel better? Well, new research studies suggest that certain types of music can boost your memory, cut your company's training time and make you smarter too. Scientists at Stanford University, in California, have recently revealed a molecular basis for music known as the "Mozart Effect", but not other music. Dr. Fran Rauscher and her geneticist colleague H. Li, discovered that rats, like humans, perform better on learning and memory tests after listening to a specific Mozart Sonata in D. They found that various growth factors and a memory compound increased in an area of the brain that affects learning and memory. In addition, some years...

In the article Dementia: Just What Is It, we have learned about a frightening term, Dementia, and just what it is or, rather, how it manifests itself in the human condition. I gave 5 examples from my personal knowledge, including myself. It would appear that "Dementia", in its milder forms, is nothing more than a mild loss of memory. In its more severe, but still mild, forms, it can take the guise of mild disorientation; sometimes so mild that one is not even aware of being disoriented. The milder cases were likely referred to in olden times as "senility". Something none of us ever aspired to. However, there is a new body of information accumulating, and now published, which indicates that "dementia...

The ubiquitous cell phone has revolutionized the way people communicate. Communication has become more efficient, and way more accessible. Gone are the days of searching for a pay phone, and then searching for those evasive quarters. Cell phones have evolved from a large, one-dimensional device to its present multi dimensional, small form. They keep millions of people in touch with business, family and friends. In addition, they are proven to be very valuable during times of emergency. Contemporary cell phones perform many functions, access to the Internet, access to streaming data, video cameras, and entertainment. They are clearly a great way to communicate, and in some cases are replacing...

This article provides useful, detailed information about Lung Cancer Treatment. The most commonly used treatments for lung cancer are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. The exact treatment a lung cancer patient receives will depend on several factors. These include the type of cancer, the stage or extent to which it has spread at the time of diagnosis, and the overall health of the patient. Non-small cell lung cancer, which accounts for about 80 percent of lung cancer cases, is treated depending on its stage at diagnosis. Lung surgery is the mainstay of treatment for the early stages of lung cancer. Cancerous tissue, along with a margin of healthy tissue, is removed. Patients who are unable...

If we deeply contemplate into the fact and think, what is it that makes the human beings different from the other animals, then the one conclusion that we will zero down on will be the mind or more technically, the brain. "All's in the mind" is a very popular saying. All the traits that make the human world different from the animal world exist for the sheer fact that the humans are a proud possessor of a much developed brain as compared to the other animals. However, we cannot overestimate the importance of the body. It can be well said that the body and the mind are quite complementary. One cannot exist without the other. The brain which is called the central nervous system is also literally so...

Copyright 2006 Cole's Poetic License The term "brainwashing" carries connotations of propaganda at best, disappearance into ideological cults at worst. If we think of it as manipulation to change attitudes, then we're in the mainstream of contemporary society. Our children are brainwashed every day. They are bombarded with messages from advertisements, parents, teachers, relatives, caregivers, street-corner preachers, movies and TV, and peers. Some children perceive these messages as critical-disapproving of them. In any case, they "brainwash" a child's self-concept by the time he is seven years old. Two words, imprinted early, can cause years of trouble. They are "nasty" and "shame". "Sticks...

Ever wonder how fitness models look so great in magazines? Well it is not all smoke, mirrors and Adobe Photoshop editing. Believe it or not, some photographers will flat out turn a fitness model away if she shows up to a photo shoot out of shape. It's just too hard to sell images of flabby fitness models. So how do models firm up before a shoot? There's tons of ways to do this but the easiest way is to give yourself two weeks to shed five pounds. That may not seem like a lot of weight to lose, but looking good is not so much about weight loss as it is about weight re-distribution. In reality, shedding five pounds of flab could mean the difference between a 32-inch waist and a 28-inch waist. Using...

Description Brain cancer is a tumor or tumors that form on the brain itself. Most brain tumors have spread to the brain from other affected parts of the body (such as the breast or the lung) via the blood-stream. Only a small percentage of brain cancer cases originate in the brain. In its early stages, brain cancer often produces no symptoms, or it displays symptoms that are mistaken for everyday headaches. As a result, the condition is often quite advanced before it is detected. Brain cancer is a very serious condition that can cause extensive neurological damage or death. The exact cause of brain cancer is unknown, but heredity is suspected to play a role in its development. Signs and Symptoms...

Menopause symptoms vary greatly; in fact, there are no two women that will have the same menopause symptoms in the same order. There are some women who don�t have any symptoms as all, but not many. Symptoms last different lengths of time for different women and are caused by the hormonal transition and imbalance in a woman�s body. One of the menopause symptoms in women is mood swings. Approximately 10% of women suffer from mood swings during menopause. Mood swings, basically, are drastic changes in mood over a short period of time. For example, laughing one minute, yelling and being angry, then crying, and then feeling depressed very shortly after. Many women get on medication for mood...

The beginning of the end for the human is when the vertebrae of its refined spinal column begin to be subluxated, then fixated, and then fused. This can only be addressed by means of a very specialized hand. The cause of the rigidity, inflexibility, and ultimately the fusion of our skeletal joints are always in the minor misalignments of these joints. The minor misalignments of these joints are referred to in the literature as subluxated joints, or subluxations. Vertebral subluxation, the misalignment of spinal vertebra, is the most damaging of all skeletal misalignments. The misalignments create the fusion, the wear, and the breakdown of our spine, nature's proudest pillar. This synchronous tower...

Short-term memory, sometimes referred to as "primary," "working," or "active" memory, is said to hold a small amount of information for about 20 seconds. Estimates of short-term memory capacity vary - from about 3 or 4 elements (i.e., words, digits, or letters) to about 9 elements: a commonly cited capacity is 7-2 elements. In contrast, long-term memory indefinitely stores a seemingly unlimited amount of information. Short-term memory can be described as the capacity (or capacities) for holding in mind, in an active, highly available state, a small amount of information. The information held in short-term memory may be: - recently processed sensory input; - items recently retrieved from long-term...

Neck or Cervical Pain is a common occurrence for almost every living being. In addition to injuries caused by accidents, stress, or other health issues, we are constantly exposing our head and neck to strenuous positions for extended periods of time. The advent of personal computers is a contemporary application of necessary convenience that oftentimes causes the body to pay a severe penalty. The neck is the upper part of your flexible spinal column, better known as your backbone, extending along most of the body. The neck region (cervical spine) contains 7 bones (or vertebrae labeled C1-C7). These bones are separated by intervertebral discs, which permit your backbone free movement and also...

Question: What creature can see both infra-red and ultra-violet light? Answer: Goldfish Interesting Fact: The common goldfish is the only animal that can see both infra-red and ultra-violet light. The goldfish was one of the earliest fish to be domesticated and is still one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish and water garden fish. A relatively small member of the carp family, the goldfish is a domesticated version of a dark-gray/brown carp native to East Asia. It was first domesticated in China and introduced to Europe in the late 17th century. Goldfish may grow to a maximum length of 23 inches and a maximum weight of 9.9 pounds. The oldest recorded goldfish lived to 49 years, but most...

Because we now live in an aging community, it is common to see people living well into their eighties and sometimes longer. As a result, Alzheimer's disease will affect many more lives in the future. In fact, it is estimated that within twenty years, around thirty million people worldwide, will suffer from this insidious disease. Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative condition that affects the cerebral cortex of the brain and leads to the progressive death of nerve cells. This causes the sufferer to gradually lose their memory. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia making up more than half of dementia sufferers. Around twenty percent of people aged over sixty five experience...

Bedwetting often runs in families Most kids who wet the bed have a relative that did it, too. If both parents wet the bed when they were young, it's very likely that their child will as well. Generally, bed-wetting before age 6 or 7 isn't cause for concern. At this age, nighttime bladder control simply may not be established. It's more common among boys than girls. Secondary enuresis occurs when a child goes through an extended period of dryness and begins to experience night-time wetting again. Secondary enuresis is often (though by no means always) caused by emotional stress. If bed-wetting continues, treat the problem with patience and understanding. Bladder training, moisture alarms or...

Human being's 'sixth sense' for danger, long dismissed by some scientists as myth, actually exists in a part of the brain that also handles conflict resolution, according to a recent report in the journal Science. The brain region - known as the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) - actually raises the alarm about danger that fail to penetrate the consciene mind, said Joshua Brown of Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, in an interview. The ACC is located near the top of the frontal lobes and along the walls that divide the left and rigth brains. Brown used a computer programme that required health young people to respond to activity on the monitor, and measured their brain activity at 2.5...
