Surgery saved him but the consequences on his quality of life are terrible. He is partially compensated by this victory against INAIL (the Italian Labour Insurance) that recognizes the 80% of disability caused by his occupation.

The information on this court case comes from the biologist Angelo Levis, Professor of Mutagenesis at the University of Padua, an authority on the effects of EMFs on human health.

» Low Dose Heparin and the PTT

Though largely replaced by low molecular weight heparin, low-dose unfractionated heparin is effective at preventing thrombosis associated with orthopedic surgery, obstetric conditions, trauma surgery, and inflammatory medical conditions. Because low dose unfractionated heparin is not associated with bleeding risk, there is no requirement for monitoring. If monitoring is desired, the anti-Xa heparin assay provides a more sensitive means than the PTT, and the target range is about 0.2 anti-Xa units/mL. Bolan CD, Kelin HG. Chapter 27: Blood component and pharmacologic therapy of hemostatic [more...]

Medical Transcription Sample Reports: Laparoscopic Lysis of ...

Consequently, at the conclusion of the operation, the only thing that had been performed was a lysis of adhesions and identifying the potential relative obstruction of the duodenum, we felt we could identify the etiology for the abdominal pain and with the lysis of adhesions it was felt that we may have resolved. It is unclear, at the conclusion of the procedure, whether her abdominal pain would recur. Secondly, I felt that the gastric pouch revision was fraught with potential life style changes and potential complications which the patient may not have desired and because there was no [more...]
