		<description><![CDATA[Transvaginal mesh, used to treat urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse in women, has come under heavy scrutiny in recent years. In October 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health advisory concerning rare but serious complications associated with this medical device. The FDA then updated its advisory in July 2011 to warn that serious complications are not rare. Potential Problems Transvaginal mesh has been linked to a number of serious complications, including: Vaginal scarring, pain, bleeding, discharge or drainage Infections Urinary problems Pelvic organ or bowel perforations Laceration of blood vessels Recurrent pelvic organ prolapse Mesh erosion and extrusion Painful sexual intercourse According to the health advisory released by the FDA on Oct. 20, 2008, over a period of three years (2005-2007), the agency received over 1,000 reports of transvaginal mesh complications from nine surgical mesh manufacturers. Treatment for the reported complications included: Additional surgeries,...<br /> <a href="http://www.mcgowanhood.com/transvaginal-mesh-complications">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Multaq is prescribed to people who have experienced atrial fibrillation, a fast and irregular heartbeat, or atrial flutter, a fast and regular heartbeat, during the past six months, as well as to people with certain conditions that increase their risk for developing heart problems. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently completed a safety review of the drug and announced last December that Multaq increases &#8220;the&#160;risk of serious cardiovascular events, including death, when used by patients in permanent atrial fibrillation.&#8221; People who have experienced serious adverse side effects while taking this potentially dangerous drug should consult a South Carolina injury attorney to determine whether they may have cause for filing an individual lawsuit or joining a class action effort against Multaq manufacturer Sanofi. Based on the results of its safety review, which involved data from two clinical studies, the FDA now advises that healthcare professionals do not prescribe Multaq...<br /> <a href="http://www.mcgowanhood.com/dangerous-multaq-side-effects">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actos is a drug approved to treat Type 2 diabetes that has been on the U.S. market since 1999. In recent years, there have been growing concerns about its potential serious side effects. Actos continues to be available in the United States, though it carries a black box warning concerning its cardiovascular risks. In France and Germany, however, the drug was banned last summer after a French study suggested a link between Actos and bladder cancer. Increased Risk for Bladder Cancer Last June, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health advisory that using Actos for more than one year may cause an increased risk for bladder cancer. The warning came after an FDA review of data from a five-year interim analysis of a 10-year ongoing epidemiological study. The FDA concluded that, although the study did not point to an increased risk for bladder cancer overall, there...<br /> <a href="http://www.mcgowanhood.com/diabetes-drug-actos-linked-to-bladder-cancer-and-other-risks">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of motor conditions that affect body movement, balance, coordination and posture. Many cases of CP are the result of medical malpractice. If a doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional makes a mistake during the birthing process, the baby can suffer a birth injury, one of the leading causes of CP. When a medical error is to blame for a child&#8217;s cerebral palsy, the parents may be entitled to financial compensation that will help offset the cost of their child&#8217;s ongoing care. Back in 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated the average lifetime cost of caring for a person with cerebral palsy was $921,000, a figure that surely has increased since then. Parents can turn to an experienced South Carolina injury attorney for help getting the compensation they need and deserve. Cerebral Palsy Symptoms Although cerebral palsy can be present at...<br /> <a href="http://www.mcgowanhood.com/recognizing-cerebral-palsy-symptoms">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the Brain Injury Association of South Carolina, there are 61,000 people in the state living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and TBI is the number one cause of death statewide for people between the ages of one and 44. Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 1.7 million people sustain traumatic brain injuries every year, with boys between the ages of zero and four having the highest rates of TBI-related emergency room visits, hospital stays and deaths. Moreover, the CDC reports that TBIs contribute to about 30.5 percent of all injury-related deaths in the U.S. TBI victims whose injury was caused by a car wreck, truck accident, motorcycle crash, workplace accident, birth injury or medical malpractice can count on an experienced South Carolina injury attorney to protect their legal rights. Brain Injury Complications Serious brain injuries can result in lifelong impairments.
