De Caro & Kaplen, LLP, is a New York-based law firm founded in 1982.

The costs for maternal care in that case were $183,081 and those for neonatal care were $34,703. [18] The average household income in the U.S. in 1983 was $29,184. [19] The death of Marlise Muñoz at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, TX was the most recently publicized instance of somatic support of a brain dead pregnant woman from 2013 ...

Jahi McMath was a thirteen-year-old girl who was declared brain dead in California following surgery in 2013.

Phineas P. Gage (1823–1860) was an American railroad construction foreman remembered for his improbable: 19 survival of an accident in which a large iron rod was driven completely through his head, destroying much of his brain's left frontal lobe, and for that injury's reported effects on his personality and behavior over the remaining 12 years of his life—effects sufficiently ...
However, available data clearly shows that to be false. Cycling (with approximately 700 American fatalities per year from all medical causes) is a very minor source of fatal traumatic brain injury, whose American total is approximately 52,000 per year. [21] Similarly, bicycling causes only 3% of America's non-fatal traumatic brain injury.
