Therapeutic Advance in Infectious Disease. Volume 10, pg. 1-9. 2023. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national decubitus ulcer attorney, explains, “Our client was newly injured and paralyzed [...]
“These findings indicate that for patients with benign meningioma desiring to avoid the high stroke risk of fractionated proton-photon RT (radiotherapy), SRS (single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has a comparable stroke risk profile to observation," states Dr. Jeremy N. Ciporen, Department of Neurological Surgery, Oregon Health and Science University. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national pharmaceutical injury [...]

“High progesterone receptor positivity was linked to low grade tumors. Meningioma grade and many subtypes can be identified with the use of progesterone receptor expression, particularly in cases that are borderline,” states Dr. Assad Albayati. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national pharmaceutical injury attorney, states, “In this study, like others, 79.3 % of Grade I meningiomas, [...]
“The aim was to investigate whether infants with periventricular white matter injury with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy have unique lesions different from lesions in those without cerebral palsy and to evaluate the early diagnostic efficiency of Diffusion Tensor Imaging for differentiating infants with spastic cerebral palsy from those with periventricular white matter injury without cerebral [...]
“Polypropylene and PVDF slings showed similar high cure or improvement rate (91.0% vs. 95.6%) … A higher incidence of long-term pain events were observed in the polypropylene group,” states Dr. Jordi Sabadell. What did a randomized polypropylene tranobturator sling versus PVDF transobturator sling show in Dr. Jordi Sabadell’s article “Polypropylene and polyvinylidene fluoride transobturator slings [...]
