Should Your Hospital’s NICU Have Cooling for Brain Injuries?

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Medically induced cooling of the brain can help treat damage. This relatively new procedure — the FDA approved it a little over 10 years ago — provides the opportunity to treat babies who are suffering from hypoxic brain damage because of perinatal asphyxia.

We don’t totally understand the exact science of why brain cooling limits birth injuries. Many theories make perfect sense floating around. But, ultimately, who cares why it works? It appears to work on not only the brain but other vital organs that have been harmed by oxygen deprivation.

At this point, I don’t know why any hospital with a NICU would not be capable of using cooling to protect an infant from brain damage.

Camp Lejeune Water Poisoning Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our Maryland-based attorneys are reviewing Camp Lejeune water poisoning lawsuits in all 50 states.

For 35 years (from the 1950s to the 1980s) an estimated 1 million former residents and employees at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base in North Carolina were being supplied with drinking water that was poisoned with massive levels of industrial chemicals. Subsequent studies have shown that exposure to these chemicals caused former Camp Lejeune personnel to suffer higher rates of cancer, birth defects, and other diseases.

Sadly, an austere law in North Carolina has prevented these victims from pursuing justice. But there is now a new law that gives Camp Lejeune water contamination victims the right to file water contamination lawsuits and get compensation for their injuries.

Exposure to Chemicals Can Cause Parkinson’s Disease

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Parkinson’s disease is a devastating neurologic condition in which the brain gradually loses control of body and muscle functions. The exact causes of Parkinson’s disease have always been somewhat of a mystery. Recently, however, new scientific evidence has shown that Parkinson’s disease can be caused by long-term exposure to certain chemicals such as herbicides, PFAS, and solvents. The link between chemical exposure to Parkinson’s is currently being litigated in at least 2 different mass torts: Paraquat and Camp Lejeune.

About Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurologic condition that occurs when nerve cells in the part of the brain which controls body movement (the substantia nigra) begin to degenerate. When the nerve cells degenerate, they become impaired and eventually die and lose their ability to function by producing a key chemical called dopamine.

Wadsworth v. Sharma: Maryland Court of Appeals Declines to Adopt Loss of Chance Doctrine in Wrongful Death Cases

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

In the recent decision in Wadsworth v. Sharma, 2022 WL 2763202 (Md. 2022), the Maryland Court of Appeals once again declined to adopted the loss of chance doctrine in wrongful death cases. The decision was based largely on the COA’s long standing tradition of abstaining from judicial policymaking, as the majority opinion noted that it was up to the Maryland legislature whether to adopt this rule. Unfortunately, this decision effectively means that doctors and hospitals in Maryland are immune from malpractice liability when caring for terminally ill patients.

Summary of Facts

Stephanie Wadsworth was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer in her left breast in 2006. She underwent a mastectomy, chemo, and radiation therapy and subsequent testing over the course of the next few years indicated that her cancer had been effectively treated.
