d’Oliveira & Associates, P.C. Seeks Clients with InFUSE Bone Graft Implants
Providence, RI (PRWEB) May 18, 2012
d’Oliveira & Associates is working with some of the leading attorneys in the United States and Canada who are representing clients who have been injured by the Medtronic InFUSE Bone Graft back implant.
Medtronic InFUSE Bone Graft Lawyer
The InFUSE Bone Graft was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 for use in lumbar back surgeries. It was designed to allow the patient to regrow their own bone to fuse vertebra in the lower back instead of harvesting bone from elsewhere in the body. It has been used off label in cervical vertebrae and caused dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and difficulty breathing and speaking.
Additional injuries associated with the use of the InFUSE Bone Graft include cancer, including skin, thyroid, pancreatic, stomach, lymphoma, lung, leukemia, laryngeal, breast and prostate cancers. Use of the InFUSE Bone Graft has also been linked to sterility in males and other sexual side effects. Uncontrolled bone growth has been linked to the use of the InFUSE Bone Graft, and has been reported in as many as 75% of the patients receiving the implant.
Attribution: North American Spine Society
Medtronic has come under Congressional investigation because of allegations that doctors conducting medical trials on InFUSE were being paid by Medtronic. The FDA issued a warning of adverse risks to health from use of the InFUSE Bone Graft in the cervical spine near the esophagus and trachea.
d’Oliveira & Associates, P.C. has recently begun a television ad campaign alerting individuals about these serious and life-threatening complications. Many individuals with these complications may need surgery to remove or repair the malfunctioning implant, or treat excessive bone growth, cancer, and any other side effects. The attorneys working with d’Oliveira & Associates are representing these individuals in their claims against the manufacturers of the defective and misused product.
For more information about claims against the manufacturers of the InFUSE Bone Graft and the awareness campaign about the defective product and its off-label use, please call the law offices of d’Oliveira & Associates, P.C. toll-free at 1-800-992-6878 or visit InFUSE Bone Graft Lawyer

First Lady Michelle Obama and the spouses of the NATO Summit and G8 foreign leaders will visit Gary Comer Youth Center this Sunday, May 20 at 11:30 a.m. Guests will learn about the Youth Center’s innovative educational and extracurricular programs, view dance and cultural performances by Chicago-area youth, and enjoy a private lunch created by Chef Paul Kahan, who has worked with Youth Center culinary students in preparing the meal.
First Lady Michelle Obama will provide guests with a full tour of the Youth Center facility, highlighting the Youth Urban Agriculture Program held at the rooftop garden, recording studio, visual arts studio, dance and fitness studio, the culinary program and more. Performances will be conducted by the South Shore Drill Team, the Muntu Dance Theater and the Soul Children of Chicago.
“Our goal is to provide programs and resources that ensure our youth members succeed in school and are empowered to seek their full potential in life,” said Greg Mooney, Gary Comer Youth Center’s Executive Director. “We are honored to welcome First Lady Michelle Obama and her distinguished guests and to demonstrate how we have been able to make a difference on Chicago’s South Side.”
Located in the Grand Crossing community, the Gary Comer Youth Center was established in 2006 with a mission to provide area youth with diverse educational and extracurricular enrichment that will equip them to graduate high school prepared to pursue college and meaningful careers. More than 1,000 youth members utilize the Center’s education and support services. Currently, 97 percent of Youth Center seniors are on track to graduate high school and 94 percent have been accepted into a four year college.
“We are addressing a critical need that transcends all countries and cultures, and requires significant commitment and resources,” added Mooney. “We hope that the spotlight on our model inspires others to invest in our youth the world over.”
The organization was founded by the late Gary Comer, founder of Lands’ End. Additional programs and services offered within the 80,000-square-foot facility include academic tutoring, college readiness courses, leadership training, health and wellness services, media training, performing arts and technology, among others.
The Gary Comer Youth Center campus was expanded in 2008 with the creation of Gary Comer College Prep in partnership with the Noble Network of Charter Schools.

Blavo & Co gives players peace of mind when they hang up their boots
Blavo & Co gives players peace of mind when they hang up their boots
London (PRWEB UK) 18 May 2012
Euro 2012 is on its way, and with it comes the promise of glory for an as-yet unknown group of players. Football is often a game consumed by the immediate spectacle, by the bright lights; but, away from the pitch, the game contains more challenges than ever before.
‘In my last few years of working with Premier League players, primarily those from Africa, I have seen the pressures upon them growing steadily greater. Club football is now truly globalised, meaning a fiercer competition for team places, and an expectation of elite performance with little to no time to get used to their new surroundings. Though a career at the peak of the game brings remarkable financial rewards, it becomes harder to reach and remain at that peak with each passing year.
As a lawyer, I have seen my role transform to meet their evolving needs of these players, and to help them to maximise the considerable commercial opportunities that are available to them. There might have been a time when a lawyer simply drafted a signing-on contract for a player, and that was the end of their engagement. But things are very different now: planning is everything.
From the very first day that I start working with a player, I begin thinking about the very last day that he will put on a pair of boots, and beyond. Will he have made and saved enough to provide a platform for whatever he goes on to do next? Will his personal arrangements give him the peace of mind to perform to the best of his ability on the field?
In taking this rounded and long-term view of a player’s career, I have found myself going far beyond the simple job description that I had when I first got my practising certificate. I’ve found myself doing everything from arranging sponsorship deals to personal promotion, holidays, global investments, high fashion, tailoring and picking out the colours of curtains for a player’s new house. My working life is as exciting as it is varied; best of all, though, is the quiet satisfaction that I take from seeing a player financially fulfilled at the end of his footballing days, and looking back with him at a job well done.’ John Blavo, Senior Partner at Blavo & Co.
‘I am extremely grateful to Blavo & Co for the high standard of professional advice I receive from them which allows me to make positive and long-term decisions – benefiting and protecting my assets. John Blavo has been instrumental in assisting me to look at my career as a player and my future after retirement; I feel I am a member of a family rather than a client.’
Lauren Etame Mayer, Ex-Arsenal footballer
‘I Thank Blavo & Co for their friendly and professional approach to my needs. Football is a truly global sport. Their turnaround speed and ability to reduce long winded conversations to simple, workable, cost effective advice are fantastic.’
Mr Antonio Flares, CEO and FIFA Agent. Seville, Spain
‘I am very impressed and delighted with the well rounded and seamless, professional and friendly service I continue to receive from Blavo & Co Solicitors.’
Mr John Pantsill, Leicester City & Ghanaian International Player.
Blavo & Co is a full service law firm, with seven offices in London, Hertfordshire and Surrey. The firm covers almost every legal area, from commercial law and litigation, family law, mental health law, sports law, employment law, housing law, criminal law and prison law, to name but a few.
Blavo & Co has developed a reputation for being approachable, friendly and for consistently exceeding its clients expectations whilst maintaining ethical and socially responsible standards.

Nearly 75 Percent of U.S. Android Smartphone Users Accessed Facebook?s Website or App From Their Phones in March, According to NPD?s Connected Intelligence
Nearly 75 Percent of U.S. Android Smartphone Users Accessed Facebook’s Website or App From Their Phones in March, According to NPD’s Connected Intelligence
Port Washington, New York (PRWEB) May 17, 2012
Facebook’s app and website were accessed by nearly three-fourths of U.S. Android smartphone users in March, making it the most used social networking website and app on the Android platform, according to new SmartMeter* data from leading market research company, The NPD Group’s Connected Intelligence®. Facebook is maintaining its social networking strength as the proportion of Android smartphone users accessing its mobile app and website has held steady over the past six months.
With Facebook far and away the overall market leader in social networking, Twitter is a distant second, with 23 percent and 18 percent reach in web and apps, respectively, while Google+ is struggling to find its place even among Android users – with 16 percent reach in web, and fluctuating between 10 and 15 percent reach in apps for the past nine months.
It’s no surprise that Facebook is so popular, as social networking is one of the most highly utilized activities for U.S. Android smartphone users, second only to search among mobile web activities overall and fifth among apps (behind search, webmail, maps/navigation and games). Even though social networking engagement is highly saturated, consumer engagement in Facebook has been resilient.
Facebook users spend over 15 minutes a day, almost 470 minutes a month, using the Facebook app on their Android smartphones. While it’s half the time users spend on a mobile game, the fluid nature of social networking apps translates into frequent dips – with Facebook users opening the app an average of 6 times per day. Facebook’s website comprised 10 percent of all page views for Android smartphone users in March.
“Ultimately, Facebook’s mobile success rests on delivering compelling mobile app and web experiences, and monetizing on these experiences,” said Linda Barrabee, research director, NPD Connected Intelligence. “In order to do this, Facebook needs to ensure that monetization efforts via advertising enhance and do not disrupt the mobile social consumer experience; and with Facebook’s IPO looming and trading expected to begin on May 18, all eyes are on the company.”

Hotze Health & Wellness Center Brings New Life to a Very Special School
Hotze Health & Wellness Center Brings New Life to a Very Special School
HOUSTON (PRWEB) May 17, 2012
Hotze Health & Wellness Center (HHWC), a world leader in the alternative health care industry, launched its New Life for a Very Special School campaign today on Facebook, to raise awareness and give back to the New Life School Guatemala, a non-profit school for children with special needs. Beginning today through June 30, for every new “Like” the HHWC Facebook page receives, a dollar will be donated to the New Life School Guatemala.
The school was founded in 2000 by HHWC guest, Judy Kerschner, when she learned that children with disabilities were not allowed into public schools. The New Life School Guatemala is a licensed primary school for grades pre-kinder through sixth grade, and provides these children an opportunity to receive an education rather than staying hidden in their homes.
HHWC founder and CEO, Dr. Steven Hotze, hopes that in addition to raising money, the campaign will bring greater awareness to the organization.
“The New Life School hasn’t received the attention it deserves and they need our help,” said Dr. Hotze. “This organization is changing the lives of children who otherwise would have been ostracized in their community, and it is teaching an entire village how to show them compassion.”
In under a minute, Facebook users will have the opportunity to give back to an organization that provides hope to children who otherwise would be denied an education. One hundred percent of donations are applied towards the children’s needs and the operation of the school including medical care and wheelchairs, teaching materials and supplies, and teacher salaries.
Fans are also encouraged to share the campaign with their Facebook friends in order to help raise additional money and bring awareness to the organization.
