Download or read book The Never Ending Seizure Order written by Steven N. Baker and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Congress passed the Trademark Counterfeiting Act of 1984, it created a new means of combating counterfeiting: the ex parte seizure order. Armed with such an order, trademark owners can seize counterfeit merchandise without giving advanced notice. Congress, aware that such a process could lead to abuse, created several express limitations to the seizure process. One such limitation was that seizure orders shall not last longer than seven days. Courts, however, are extending the life of seizure orders; some extensions last only days, others months, and still others go on for years. Under what authority have the courts so extended seizure orders, thereby thwarting what appears to be Congress's clear intent that seizure orders under the Act last no longer than seven days? This Article details the problem that led to the Act's passage, Congress's goals embodied within the Act and its legislative history, the way courts have treated the Act and its newly minted seizure process, and the possible reasons why courts have found it within their power to extend seizure orders. Chief among these reasons is the breakdown of the adversarial process in counterfeiting suits, which often proceed only as Trademark Owner v. Various John Does.

Download or read book Epilepsy Across the Spectrum written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-07-29 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although epilepsy is one of the nation's most common neurological disorders, public understanding of it is limited. Many people do not know the causes of epilepsy or what they should do if they see someone having a seizure. Epilepsy is a complex spectrum of disorders that affects an estimated 2.2 million Americans in a variety of ways, and is characterized by unpredictable seizures that differ in type, cause, and severity. Yet living with epilepsy is about much more than just seizures; the disorder is often defined in practical terms, such as challenges in school, uncertainties about social situations and employment, limitations on driving, and questions about independent living. The Institute of Medicine was asked to examine the public health dimensions of the epilepsies, focusing on public health surveillance and data collection; population and public health research; health policy, health care, and human services; and education for people with the disorder and their families, health care providers, and the public. In Epilepsy Across the Spectrum, the IOM makes recommendations ranging from the expansion of collaborative epilepsy surveillance efforts, to the coordination of public awareness efforts, to the engagement of people with epilepsy and their families in education, dissemination, and advocacy for improved care and services. Taking action across multiple dimensions will improve the lives of people with epilepsy and their families. The realistic, feasible, and action-oriented recommendations in this report can help enable short- and long-term improvements for people with epilepsy. For all epilepsy organizations and advocates, local, state, and federal agencies, researchers, health care professionals, people with epilepsy, as well as the public, Epilepsy Across the Spectrum is an essential resource.

Book excerpt: Seized is a narrative portrait of a common brain disorder that can alter personality, illuminating the mind-body problem and the limits of free will.

LaPlante’s descriptions of the human brain are wonderfully concrete, her historical research is well presented, and her empathy for TLE’s victims is clear.” In this “fascinating account of medical research,” Howard Gardner noted, “LaPlante shows how a brain scar may cause bizarre aggressive or sexual behavior—and works of profound creative imagination.”

Book excerpt: You wake up abruptly in bed -- but where are you? Who is this person standing over you? He is calling someone's name and gently shaking you -- who is he, and whose name is he calling? When she was 25, Leanne Chilton suffered a grand mal seizure in her sleep. Slowly, her mind began to clear and she realized that a paramedic had been calling her back into consciousness. Up to that point she had been living a normal life. Now, doctors told her that she had epilepsy, would probably experience many more seizures, and would be on a strict regimen of medication for the rest of her life. But Leanne was determined to do something courageous to end her disability. Utterly desperate, she found out about a surgical procedure that held a tentative promise for controlling seizures. She bravely underwent the operation, and now she tells us about it in a fascinating memoir of a terrifying -- and triumphant -- period in her life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In book four of the award-winning Austin Family Chronicles young adult series from Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, Vicky Austin experiences the difficulties and joys of growing up. "This wasn't the first time that I'd come close to death, but it was the first time I'd been involved in this part of it, this strange, terrible saying goodbye to someone you've loved." These are Vicky Austin's thoughts as she stands near Commander Rodney's grave while her grandfather, who himself is dying of cancer, recites the funeral service. Watching his condition deteriorate over that long summer is almost more than she can bear. Then, in the midst of her struggle, she finds herself the center of attention for three young men. Leo, Commander Rodney's son, turns to her as an old friend seeking comfort but longing for romance. Zachary, whose attempted suicide inadvertently caused Commander Rodney's death, sees her as the one sane and normal person who can give some meaning to his life. And Adam, a serious young student working at the nearby marine-biology station, discovers Vicky, his friend's little sister, incipient telepathic powers that can help him with his experiments in dolphin communications. Vicky finds solace and brief moments of peace in her poetry, but life goes on around her, and the strain intensifies as she confronts matters of love and of death, of dependence and of responsibility, universal concerns that we all must face. The inevitable crisis comes and Vicky must rely on openness, sensitivity, and the love of others to overcome her private grief. Once again, Madeleine L'Engle has written a story that revels in the drama of vividly portrayed characters and events of the spiritual and moral dimensions of common human experiences.
