Moment of Silence for Diane Winterstein

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Mrs. Diane Winterstein, wife of Dr. Jim Winterstein, president of the National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) in Lombard, Illinois, passed away on August 27 after a nine-year battle against cancer.

From 1993-1998, Mrs. Winterstein worked in a hospice program as a certified nursing assistant, and later as a volunteer. The NUHS Board of Trustees conferred upon her an honorary doctor of humane letters degree in 2000, in recognition of her "integrity, courteousness, civility and kindness" as a result of this work and her numerous contributions to the school.

As an active supporter of NUHS and the chiropractic profession, Diane hosted the President's Cabinet Internationale at the Winterstein home, and was honored with a service commendation from the alumni association during the 2002 homecoming.

Shortly before her passing, Mrs. Winterstein returned home, and was cared for by the same hospice program for which she helped others.

Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again
Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again

New York's highest court of appeals has held that no-fault insurers cannot deny no-fault benefits where they unilaterally determine that a provider has committed misconduct based upon alleged fraudulent conduct. The Court held that this authority belongs solely to state regulators, specifically New York's Board of Regents, which oversees professional licensing and discipline. This follows a similar recent ruling in Florida reported in this publication.

Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs
Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs

Keeping our eyes smoothly focused while moving is no simple task because even the simple act of running produces head velocities in excess of 550° per second with head accelerations up to 6,000° per second. Failure to properly stabilize our eyes to compensate for rapid head motion could allow our eyes to over- or undershoot specific targets, which can result in blurred vision, nausea, impaired balance, and a greatly increased risk of falling.
