Semi-Truck Crashes Hauling 40,000 Pounds of Bees

CHICAGO, IL – A semi-truck was traveling from California to North Dakota when it crashed in a rural intersection in Bozeman, Montana, carrying 40,000 pounds of bees. No humans were hurt during the crash.

When the Hyalite fire department arrived on the scene, the driver and the passenger were already out of the truck. When inspecting the truck, they noticed only an oil leak.

Fortunately, most of the semi-truck’s load was kept in-tact; in fact, only a quarter of the 40,000 pound of bees actually escaped. The trucks load of 40,000 pounds of bees is equal to roughly 133 million bees. Hyalite fire department said there was no immediate threat to the public.

Tractor-trailers and semi-trucks weigh several tons and travel at very high speeds. Please remember to keep your distance when passing a semi-truck and you are passing on the left side of the truck – truck drivers cannot see you from the right side of their vehicle. If you or someone you know has recently been a victim of a trucking or car accident, please call Dinizulu Law Group at (312) 384-1920 or visit our website at www.dinizululawgroup.com.

Sepsis Caused By Nursing Home Neglect – A New Treatment Offers Hope

 

A new vitamin treatment made of vitamin C, thiamine, and steroids is offering new hope for patients suffering from sepsis. Sepsis, is a blood infection that can turn lethal in many cases and very quickly. CDC reports that one-third patient deaths in hospital is caused by sepsis.

Clinical trials have already started to test the treatment. One particular clinical trial called VICTAS (Vitamin C, Thiamine and Steroids in Sepsis) is leading the way. The hope is that the treatment will improve patient outcomes by at least 10%. 10% may not sound like much, but it has the potential to save tens of thousands of lives in the U.S. every year, reports NPR.

One of the main causes of sepsis is an untreated wound or infection. In American nursing homes, bed sores that should never occur are happening and then left untreated. This factor raises the risk of sepsis and death from the disease.

While there’s hope for this new treatment, preventing sepsis in many cases is not difficult. For example, in nursing homes, when employers properly train their staff and enforce all the needed protocols for wound care and prevention, sepsis is less likely to occur in these facilities.
