Gadolinium is a contrast agent or dye that is used in magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. Without this agent, MRI procedures would not be helpful. As you may know, MRI is a non-invasive way for doctors to have a visual inspection of problems in the internal organs, nerves and tissues of patients. So, instead of opening up the cranium or other parts of the body to know a patient’s problems, they can just rely on the images provided by the MRI to determine conditions. Truly, MRI procedures have been helpful to many people. However, it is important to note that the injection of the contrast agent can also lead to MRI injuries.

Gadolinium is a colorless liquid that contains metallic crystals, which are responsible for the shine or luster that helps doctors to clearly identify the problems in the internal organs of patients. The rising number of MRI injuries reported in this country should be a cause for alarm.

Many people who have undergone MRI procedures complain of muscular problems, severe joint aches and skin inflammation. For some individuals, these symptoms can be temporary.

But for a significant number of people, the side effects of being injected with gadolinium used for MRI can be harmful if not fatal. There are patients who are suffering from kidney diseases and then, after an MRI, suffer such conditions as NSF (nephrogenic systemic fibrosis) and NFD (nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy). For those who are fortunate enough to survive these MRI injuries, they could face a lifetime of suffering from debilitating pain in the rib and hip areas or recurring problems with their skin and eyes.

Patients who are suffering from other inflammatory ailments are also at a higher risk of experiencing adverse effects due to this contrast agent used for MRI. This dye can be toxic and can cause fatal problems in the internal organs, aside from joint pains, skin diseases, and eye woes.

Patients who have suffered MRI injuries due to gadolinium should not suffer silently. They can make the people or institutions responsible for their suffering pay for what they have done.

If you or a loved one suffered such harm, contact the Texas law firm of Jim S. Adler & Associates at 800-505-1414 or visit www.JimAdler.com for more information or to request a free case review.

When most employees think of company apparel, they think of cheesy t-shirts, ugly mugs and wimpy mouse pads. And, it gets buried in the back of the closet or collects dust on a desk, never to be pulled out again.

But, if you turn company apparel into “company swag,” well, now you have a winner! What’s the difference between the two? Following are two key differences. By taking note of these, you will not only have employees vying for the swag, but they’ll be more productive as well.

2 Ways to Turn Company Apparel into “Company Swag”

Rebrand Your Company Apparel: Think of the phrase “company apparel” as compared to “company swag.” Which sounds cooler, more hip, more interesting? Company swag, of course.

Everybody wants swag; nobody wants “apparel.” So you have to first rebrand your company apparel. This can be as simple as a name change. So start calling your company’s promotional items swag, instead of apparel. If you have a company catalog, name it “XYZ Company Swag: Get the Good Stuff!” Or, something to that effect. This will at least get employees curious enough to want to look through the catalog, instead of letting it collect dust in the company coffee room.

Change Your Company Apparel Offerings: While there may be company standards you have to abide by like the corporate logo, you can’t just stop at renaming your promotional items. You have to change the offerings – at least on some level. Some simple changes are to, for example: (i) offer various styles; (ii) change where you put the company logo on a garment; and/or (iii) offer various colors (eg, “hot pink” which is all the rage this season).

Company apparel doesn’t have to be boring – in fact, it shouldn’t. It’s a known fact that when people feel good about their appearance, they are more productive. And if your firm provides “swag” instead of “apparel” this is just what you will achieve.

Summary: Sente Mortgage Productivity Expert Kenton Brown and National Speaker Kenn Renner from BuyAustin.com present Business Boot Camp For Austin Area Real Estate Professionals beginning at the end of January.  The cost is free, but you must RSVP for the seminar at www.TheHighwaySeminar.com.

Austin, Texas – January 15, 2009 — It is a fact that some of the greatest opportunities for success are going to soon be found by those who prepare and plan now to dominate market share as others leave the business. This business workshop will help set a foundation for success no matter what the economic conditions.

Two of Austin’s top real estate and finance industry professionals, will present this free business boot camp on Thursday, January 29th from 1 - 5 P.M. at the Gracy Title North Austin location. The seminar presentations will cover key strategies to help professionals succeed in today’s extremely competitive and constantly changing market.  Highlights of the seminar:

•    New and fresh approaches to goal setting and time management will be discussed.
•    A detailed entrepreneurial budgeting proforma and spreadsheet template will be shared detailing the cost of attaining an autonomous (financially free) life.

The workshop format will help attendees explore and re-explore their dreams, goals and visions for a preferred future. The seminar will uncover the very real potential of “autonomy” - a life of financial freedom and clarity. The workshop will share proven systems for achieving autonomy through a habit of practicing disciplines broken down into daily sales activities and data base management.

Setting your goals is just the beginning. After your budget is analyzed, a business and personal AMPR (Average Minimum Profitability Requirement) can be determined. Once the AMPR number is calculated, you can determine what you have to do each day to achieve financial freedom. Although the dollar requirements to cover our expenses, live a prosperous life and cover our retirement can seem daunting at first, the practice of strategic planning and action steps can and will propel entrepreneurs towards autonomy. Those that don’t plan or take action are almost sure to fail.

There will be opportunities to network with fellow professionals both before and after and workshop.

The business planning boot camp and networking workshop will be held on Thursday, January 29th at Gracy Title Company, 4501 Spicewood Springs, Suite 1000, Austin, Texas, 78759 from 1 P.M. to 5 P.M

Traffic Accidents, Brain Injuries and the Ramifications

Automobile accidents are one of the leading causes of brain injuries in the United States. Whether you’re in a car, truck, SUV or 18-wheeler, an accident can cause a brain injury even a slow-moving accident. Many people who suffer brain injuries in automobile accidents don’t even realize that they’ve done so, especially in so-called mild cases. This is what makes this type of injury so dangerous. And this is why you need an experienced brain injury lawyer.

If left untreated, even mild brain injuries can lead to long-term health problems, which can include memory loss, headaches, personality changes and sleep deprivation. The symptoms can begin immediately, or they can be a delayed reaction to an accident. Whenever they appear, you can face mounting medical bills, job loss and even the need for long-term healthcare. An experienced brain injury law firm can put you in a position to get the help you may need - not only immediately, but also in the future.

Things a Skilled Brain Injury Law Firm Should Know

Any brain injury lawyer you’re considering should know certain basics. These include the difference between mild and traumatic brain injury; the long-range implications of your type of brain injury; and how to combat defense assertions that your brain injury is not serious. An experienced brain injury attorney is well schooled in slicing through complicated defense arguments, understanding complex medical jargon and researching multi-faceted cases that involve experts from many professions.
