Miami, FL (Vocus) February 5, 2010

The international law firm Greenberg Traurig LLP (http://www. gtlaw. com/), in alliance with Equal Justice Works, has named its 2010 Fellows. Nine individuals will receive funding though the Greenberg Traurig Fellowship Foundation to provide pro bono legal services to community programs. The public interest law fellowships begin in September and run for two years. The combined classes of 2009 and 2010 will consist of 19 fellows.

“Giving back to the community is a high priority at Greenberg Traurig,” said Holly Skolnick, president and founder of the Greenberg Traurig Fellowship Foundation. “This year’s remarkable class of fellows will focus on relevant and important issues that are consistent with the firm’s initiatives.”

Greenberg Traurig is the largest provider of fellowships to Equal Justice Works, which offers matching funds for the fellowships as well as assistance in the selection and training of the fellows.

The fellowships offers salary and loan repayment assistance, a national training and leadership development program, and other forms of support.

“Greenberg Traurig values its partnership with Equal Justice Works in sponsoring fellows to impact a wide variety of well deserving populations,” Skolnick said. “In addition to benefiting the local organization, fellows gain hands-on legal experience and form relationships with the firm’s attorneys who also dedicate their time to specific causes.”

The current Greenberg Traurig-sponsored fellows are working on projects in various states across the country. The issues they tackle range from domestic violence, the elderly, housing, and juvenile justice to community economic development, immigration, access to affordable health care and disability rights.

AMO Recall Update: Contact Lens Solution Users Across America Continue To Suffer Eye Infections Requiring Corneal Transplant Surgery -- Plaintiffs' Counsel Charges Recalled AMO Solution Continues To Be Sold And Risks Causing Blindness To Consumers

AMO Recall Update: Contact Lens Solution Users Across America Continue To Suffer Eye Infections Requiring Corneal Transplant Surgery -- Plaintiffs' Counsel Charges Recalled AMO Solution Continues To Be Sold And Risks Causing Blindness To Consumers

Demonstrating the ongoing national tragedy of the defective contact lens solution manufactured by Santa Ana, California-based Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. ("AMO"), Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, announced that ten contact lens solution users from across America today filed a personal injury lawsuit against AMO in state court in Los Angeles. In May 2007, AMO withdrew its Complete MoisturePlus Multi Purpose contact lens solution from the market.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) November 15, 2007

 "Almost six months have passed since AMO purportedly withdrew its defective contact lens solution from the market, yet it is still being used by consumers," stated Wendy R. Fleishman, a partner at Lieff Cabraser. "AMO has failed to adequately notify consumers and retailers of the recall. We hope today's lawsuit will lead AMO to make its recall notice loud and clear, so that the product is completely off the market and no future injuries occur."

Each plaintiff alleges he or she suffered vision loss due to Acanthamoeba keratitis, an extremely painful infection of the cornea that can result in blindness, from using AMO's Complete MoisturePlus Multi Purpose contact lens solution. The plaintiffs are residents of Los Angeles and Mission Viejo, California; Cheshire, Connecticut; Asheville and Greensboro, North Carolina; Derry, New Hampshire; and Azle, Houston and Lubbock, Texas.

"AMO has not yet acknowledged its responsibilities to injured consumers," stated Wendy R. Fleishman, a partner at Lieff Cabraser. "AMO must compensate all users of its contact lens solution who developed serious eye infections, including reimbursing patients for the cost of their surgeries and other expenses, and agree to pay for necessary future medical care."

One Plaintiff's Experience

Plaintiff Robert McDonald, 72, of Asheville, North Carolina used AMO's Complete MoisturePlus Multi Purpose contact lens solution. In July 2006, McDonald began to suffer symptoms of pain, light sensitivity, tearing, and vision impairment in his left eye. He sought medical attention, and in August 2006, he was diagnosed with Acanthamoeba keratitis.

At the instruction of his doctor, McDonald was required to put prescription drops in his eye. "For more than a year the pain was so extreme that all I could do was sit in a room with all the shades pulled with a towel over my head, only removing it to apply the hourly drops required to try to stop the infection," McDonald stated. "I would spend the majority of my days in terrible never ending pain usually in a dark house with a towel over my head to block out the light my wife needed occasionally to get her work done. I only left the house to go to the doctors."

In July 2007, with unbearable pain, McDonald's doctor ordered an emergency corneal transplant. "I have suffered injuries of many kinds but the pain I have endured as a result of the acanthamoeba infection is beyond comprehension. I didn't know that people could be in such pain," McDonald said.

This ordeal took a terrible toll on McDonald's health. "Staying in a dark room for 1 1/2 years has taken my strength away. I have lost a lot of strength and it has affected my balance," commented McDonald. "I have lost not only my good vision and my health, but almost a year and a half of my life, and it doesn't show any sign of letting up."

McDonald's vision has not recovered, and he likely will require at least one additional surgery to regain some of his sight.

Background on the AMO Recall And AMO Lawsuits

On May 25, 2007, the Food and Drug Administration alerted health care professionals and their patients who wear soft contact lenses about a voluntary recall of AMO's Complete MoisturePlus Multi Purpose, due to reports of a link between a rare, but serious eye infection, Acanthamoeba keratitis, caused by a parasite and use of AMO's contact lens solution.

AMO aggressively promoted Complete MoisturePlus Multi Purpose to healthcare professionals as well as to consumers with representations that it was a "highly effective cleaning agent" and that it "is effective against the introduction of common ocular microorganisms."

Manufacturers of medical products have a duty to produce products that are safe for their intended use. AMO specifically had a duty to exercise reasonable care in the formulation and production of its contact lens solution.

In the AMO lawsuit, plaintiffs charge that AMO's contact lens solution was not effective in disinfecting contact lenses, and vastly inferior to other multipurpose solutions available on the market. The Complaint alleges that AMO's own data demonstrated the product's lack of effectiveness in preventing the growth of protozoa microorganisms, including "acanthamoeba." The protozoa acanthamoeba are directly associated with a disproportionate risk and increased incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis in users of contact lens solution products.

The Complaint brings claims of negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, fraud, unjust enrichment, and violations of California statutory law. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages against AMO for the injuries they suffered.

Postpartum Hospital Discharges -- When is the 'Right Time'?

Postpartum Hospital Discharges -- When is the 'Right Time'?

This landmark nationwide study is the first ever to prospectively examine the decision-making process of over 4,000 mothers and their physicians around the readiness of mothers and their infants to leave the hospital after childbirth, and result show that 17 percent of all mother-infant pairs were identified as "not ready".

Lebanon, N. H. (PRWEB) August 6, 2007

A landmark nationwide study, published today in the journal Pediatrics, is the first ever to prospectively examine the decision-making process of over 4,000 mothers and their physicians around the readiness of mothers and their infants to leave the hospital after childbirth.

The study, led by Dr. Henry "Hank" Bernstein D. O., Professor of Pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical School, and Chief of General Academic Pediatrics at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD), is known as the "Life Around Newborn Discharge" or LAND study. It looked specifically at postpartum decision-making, with results showing that 17 percent of all mother-infant pairs were identified as "not ready".

This study also identified those factors most related to the "unreadiness" of mother-infant pairs to leave the hospital. These included: being a first-time mother, being black and non-Hispanic, the mother's history of chronic disease, inadequate prenatal care, delivering during non-routine hours, the newborn having problems while in the hospital, the mother's intent to breastfeed and whether or not there was adequate in-hospital education.

"Clinical decision-making regarding maternal and infant discharge is a subjective and contextual process that must take into account the perspectives of each person involved in the mothers' and infants' health care experience," Bernstein says. "This suggests that the mother and the clinicians caring for her and her infant must make the postpartum discharge decision jointly."

Hospital affiliates and offices of 451 practitioners from 112 Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) practices conducted the LAND study nationwide. The aim was to address the lack of information regarding the postpartum decision-making process for healthy term newborns and its consequences during the neonatal period. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires completed by the mother, pediatrician and obstetrician on the day of discharge. A mother-infant dyad was determined unready for postpartum discharge if at least one of the three informants perceived that either the mother or infant should stay longer.

Federal legislation -- The Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act of 1996 -- requires insurance plans offering maternity coverage to pay for at least a 48-hour hospital stay following childbirth, or a 96-hour stay in the case of a cesarean section. While Bernstein says he understands the need for some agreed upon minimum length of stay, he cautions against a "one-size-fits-all" approach to readiness.

"A customized reflection of both the mother's and her baby's needs and concerns is required," Bernstein says. "The length of postpartum stay is not the actual determinant of outcome, and the chronological clock is not necessarily what is important. The debate regarding postpartum hospital stays must be refocused toward a broadened scope of policy and clinical care considerations."

DoctorÂ’s CarbRite Diet Launches New Bar Flavor, Cookie Dough

DoctorÂ’s CarbRite Diet Launches New Bar Flavor, Cookie Dough

Universal Nutrition, a New Jersey-based health and sports supplement manufacturer, has introduced a new bar flavor to their growing line of low carb and gluten free DoctorÂ’s CarbRite Diet bars.

(PRWEB) May 5, 2004

­ Universal Nutrition, a New Jersey-based health and sports supplement manufacturer, has introduced a new Doctor’s CarbRite Diet bar flavor to their growing line. Cookie Dough is the tenth flavor in the Doctor’s CarbRite Diet line of healthy, nutritious, and great tasting sugar-free bars for low carb dieters. Doctor’s CarbRite Diet bars are rated #1 in taste and are specifically tailored to the needs of carb-conscious individuals everywhere.

DoctorÂ’s CarbRite Diet bars are 100% sugar free and contain no artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, preservatives, hydrogenated oils, fractionated oils, or trans fats. DoctorÂ’s CarbRite Diet bars are also lab-certified gluten free and can be used as a part of gluten-free diet.

DoctorÂ’s CarbRite Diet Cookie Dough bars contain 20 grams of protein and only 1 gram of net impact carbs per bar, or those carbs that cause a noted impact on blood sugar levels and are of concern to carb-conscious dieters. To improve digestion and absorption of minerals, Dr.'s CarbRite Diet Cookie Dough bar is enhanced with inulin, a natural dietary fiber present in common fruits and vegetables. Inulin helps promote a healthy intestinal environment by increasing the activity of live active cultures in the digestive tract.

“What makes our Cookie Dough bar even better is that we let our loyal supporters actually choose this flavor. At a recent show, we conducted a taste test between two flavors. We tallied up the votes and Cookie Dough won by a landslide! We think this is going to be our best-tasting bar yet,” notes Jessica Cox, Marketing Coordinator at Universal Nutrition.

Now consumers can enjoy any one of the ten DoctorÂ’s CarbRite Diet bar flavors: SÂ’mores, Toasted Coconut, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Mint Cookie, Frosted Cinnamon Bun, Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, Chocolate Banana Nut, Blueberry Cheesecake, and now Cookie Dough. They can be found at WegmanÂ’s, Whole Foods, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin World, and other fine health food stores nationwide as well as internationally. For more information, please visit www.

Understanding Adoption Rates of Wound Care Products Provides Manufacturers with Key Advantage

Understanding Adoption Rates of Wound Care Products Provides Manufacturers with Key Advantage

Palo Alto, Calif. (PRWEB) March 31, 2006

Opportunities lie for wound care manufacturers in product selection and shifts in treatment preference.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www. medicaldevices. frost. com (http://www. medicaldevices. frost. com)), Wound Care Products: Adoption Patterns, Attitudes, Preferences, and Competitive Opportunities in the US Market provides suppliers of both, traditional and advanced wound care products, an insight in the form of a framework and a roadmap, for formulating a strategy for competitive and effective technology diffusion in the US market. Analysis and insights are based on the responses of 150 doctors, nurses and wound care professionals in hospitals and non-hospital institutions providing wound care.

If you are interested in a brochure, which provides an overview of the latest analysis of the Wound Care Products: Adoption Patterns, Attitudes, Preferences, and Competitive Opportunities in the US Market send an e-mail to Melina Trevino - Corporate Communications at melina. trevino@frost. com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state, and country. Upon receipt, we will then forward this information to our research team who will contact you at the above information.

“This research service offers suppliers insight into healthcare professionals’ brand preferences and key drivers of adoption and non-adoption of wound care products,” explains Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Sheila Ewing.

The research will help suppliers of wound care products determine their relative competitiveness in the market, in terms of usage, preference, key attributes, key competitors, as well as the key opportunities in the market. This research service will answer key questions such as:

 What is the best way to sell / diffuse wound care technologies?

 What are the patterns and trends of usage for wound care technologies?

 What do doctors prefer for the various wound types?

 Which product attributes should be emphasize?

 Which brands are strong in the market?

 How can we better satisfy doctors in the area of wound care?

 What are the dominant concerns and preferences related to wound care?

 What are the opportunities and viable competitive strategies in the market?

“Suppliers of both traditional and advanced wound care need to have an in-depth understanding of end users’ and potential users’ perceptions, attitudes, current usage patterns, or degree of adoption by healthcare professionals; determining which market profiles are most disposed to particular types of wound care products, and under what conditions,” notes Ewing.

A total of 150 respondents within the United States were surveyed for this study. Of the 150 respondents, fifty percent of respondents were physicians (n=75) and fifty percent of respondents were nurses/wound care professionals (n=75). A structured questionnaire with the appropriate metrics was designed (GMI-MR software) and deployed to a web-based panel of healthcare professionals. All quotas were filled through the online panel, and there was therefore no need for back-up CATI interviews.

“Findings from this research service suggest that clinicians want superior wound care products that provide overall efficacy, infection prevention and patient’s comfort,” says Ewing.

Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting company, has been partnering with clients to support the development of innovative strategies for more than 40 years. The company's industry expertise integrates growth consulting, growth partnership services, and corporate management training to identify and develop opportunities. Frost & Sullivan serves an extensive clientele that includes Global 1000 companies, emerging companies, and the investment community by providing comprehensive industry coverage that reflects a unique global perspective and combines ongoing analysis of markets, technologies, econometrics, and demographics.
