Life With a TBI: March Is National Brain Injury Awareness Month
I find it strangely interesting that this time last year, as I was enduring the beginning of my life with a TBI, I had no idea that March was National Brain Injury Awareness Month. This year I feel compelled to shout it from the rooftops (or the computer screen)! Over the next few weeks, I intend to share with you stories and journeys of those living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or caring for a loved one who is recovering from one. My hope is to educate those who aren't familiar with TBI, and to help other TBI-ers understand that they are not alone, and that their symptoms are not just "in their head" (pun intended)...

Past Covidien, ev3 Activities are Costing Medtronic a Hefty Sum
Sometimes acquiring other companies means taking the bad with the good. In Medtronic's case, that means settling multiple Department of Justice claims against ev3, a business Medtronic owns by way of its Covidien acquisition. Covidien bought ev3 in 2010 and Medtronic finalized its $49.9 billion Covidien deal in early 2015. Now, Medtronic is paying the price for activities that ev3 allegedly conducted between 2005 and 2009 involving the Onyx Liquid Embolic System. FDA approved the device in 2005 as a liquid embolization device that is surgically injected into blood vessels to block blood flow to arteriovenous malformations ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration is warning doctors against over-prescribing testosterone-boosting drugs for men, saying the popular treatments have not been established as safe or effective for common age-related issues like low libido and fatigue. The agency says drugmakers must clearly state in their labeling and promotions that the drugs, currently taken by millions of U.S. men, are only approved to treat low testosterone levels caused by disease or injury, not normal aging. Additionally, the FDA cautioned that the drugs may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problem...
