Study links progestin use to increased meningioma risk, with discontinuation often leading to tumor regression, highlighting the need for monitoring

Depo-Provera has been a bad drug for a long time. There have always been safer medications for contraception than the shot.”

— Greg Vigna, MD

SANTA BARBARA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — “A combined effort was initiated between Neurosurgical, Gynaecological and Endocrinological societies of Belgium to gather relevant information regarding sex hormone therapies and meningioma. After complete literature review, consensual recommendations were established,” states Sebastien Froelich, Department of Neurosurgery, Leuven, Belgium.

What did Dr. Sebastien Froelich report in the 2025 article “Recommendations on the management of meningioma and sex hormone therapy: The results of a collaborative effort between neurosurgical, endocrine and gynecological societies” published in Brain and Spine 5(2025) 104154?:

“The causal link between Progestin use and the risk of meningioma was first doubted but is now acknowledged because of its specific features: the dose-effect relationship, the reduction of risk after treatment discontinuation, the specificity of the tumor location, and the specificity of the somatic mutational landscape of Progestin-associated meningiomas.

For patients on progestin therapy, healthcare providers should implement a monitoring plan that includes yearly physical exams, especially focusing on neurological and ophthalmological status and imaging studies, particularly for individuals with a higher risk of developing meningiomas.

In case of meningioma, all preparations containing progestin must be stopped. Studies have shown regression or stabilization of meningiomas upon discontinuation of progestin treatment. Discontinuing progestin is an appropriate management strategy, especially when surgery is not urgently required.

Another feature of Progestin-associated Meningiomas is their location. They appear to be primarily located at the skull base, in the anterior and middle cranial fossae, in contact with the body and the wings of the sphenoid bone.

Additionally, Progestin-associated meningiomas seem to exhibit a higher frequency of somatic PIK3CA mutations, suggesting a hormone- induced mutational shift promoting growth and increasing cell invasion.”

Dr. Greg Vigna concludes, “Depo-Provera has been a bad drug for a long time. There have always been safer medications for contraception than the shot.”

Table 4: Device and/or procedure-related adverse events through 36 months

Review finds that single-incision slings for stress urinary incontinence often preserve or improve sexual function, but may worsen dyspareunia in some patients

This Review Article describes a significant frequency of risk of new onset dyspareunia and shows the concern that single-incision slings have more dyspareunia than full length slings.”

— Greg Vigna, MD

SANTA BARBARA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — What did Dr. Marie Van Isacker say in the Review Article “Impact of Single-Incision Sling Placement on Female Sexual Function in Women with Stress Urinary Incontience” published in the the International Urogynecological Association, 06 February 2025?:

“Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed using the keywords ‘stress urinary incontinence,’ ‘midurethral slings,’ ‘single-incision slings,’ ‘female sexual function,’ and ‘dyspareunia.’

Results: The reviewed studies demonstrated that SIS generally maintain or improve sexual function postoperatively, but with varying impact on specific aspects of sexual function. While coital urinary incontinence often improved or resolved, new or worsened dyspareunia was reported in a significant number of patients.

Conclusion: SIS placement for SUI generally preserves or enhances sexual function, though individual aspects, such as dyspareunia, may worsen for some patients.”

Study links prenatal hypoxia to larger third ventricle volumes and sensory issues in ASD, emphasizing early diagnosis and intervention for at-risk children.

These findings suggest exposure to prenatal hypoxic risk conditions may exacerbate or modify the neurodevelopmental trajectory and symptom severity in ASD.”

— Greg Vigna, MD

SANTA BARBARA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — “We are investigating cases that involve children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who had a diagnosis of neonatal encephalopathy, low Apgar’s at birth, and acidosis on the cord blood gas following a complicated delivery, with or without therapeutic cooling,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national neurological injury attorney.

What did Dr. Perciado report in her article published in Autism Research, “Prenatal exposure to hypoxic risk conditions in autistic neurotypical youth; Associated ventricular differences, sleep, disturbance, and sensory processing” (2024; 17:2547-2557)?:

“Results from a cohort of 104 youth revealed a higher incidence of exposure to prenatal hypoxic conditions in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) group.

Additionally, ASD individuals with prenatal hypoxic exposure demonstrated larger third ventricle volumes compared with both autism spectrum disorder and neurotypical control individuals without such exposure, respectively.

Furthermore, associations were identified between prenatal hypoxic exposure, third ventricle volume, sensory dysfunction, and severity of sleep disturbances. These findings suggest exposure to prenatal hypoxic risk conditions may exacerbate or modify the neurodevelopmental trajectory and symptom severity in ASD.”

Read Dr. Perciado’s article: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/aur.3250

Dr. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national birth injury lawyer, “Diffusion weighted MRI and volumetric analysis can assist early diagnosis and early intervention for children at risk. We have always known there is a subset of children with normal standard MRIs who had neonatal encephalopathy, many of which required therapeutic cooling, where objective findings of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy are lacking. Now, children can be diagnosed early and treated for the diagnosis.”

Dr. Vigna adds, “We also know about 20% of children with autism spectrum disorder have a genetic component that can be tested by either exome or genome sequencing with copy analysis, and this is recommended for all children with autism spectrum disorder or other diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders.”

Dr. Vigna concludes, “Our criteria for representation includes the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, objective findings with DTI MRI and volumetric evaluation, and a negative genetic component on diagnostic genetic testing that can be ordered by psychiatrist.”

KlaymanToskes Continues Representing GWG Investors Against Brokerage Firms Who Sold GWG L Bonds

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — National investment loss and securities law firm KlaymanToskes continues representing GWG L Bond investors nationwide as new developments confirm that bondholders will recover only approximately three cents on the dollar from GWG’s bankruptcy proceedings. Many investors were misled into believing L Bonds were low-risk, secure investments, when in actuality, GWG L Bonds were high-risk and considered unsuitable for many investors. If you suffered losses in GWG L Bonds, contact KlaymanToskes at 888-997-9956 to discuss your potential recovery options.

KlaymanToskes has been at the forefront of the fight for GWG L Bondholders since the collapse of GWG Holdings, and continues to represent GWG investors around the nation in FINRA arbitration claims. Nearly three years after GWG filed for bankruptcy (Case No. 22-90032), the GWG Wind Down Trust has confirmed that L Bondholders will receive only approximately three cents for every dollar invested after deductions. To put this into perspective, a $100,000 investment in GWG L Bonds would yield approximately $3,000 in recovery from the bankruptcy—a devastating financial loss for thousands of investors.

Now that the GWG bankruptcy court’s recovery is clear, time is of the essence for investors to act. Recoveries in FINRA arbitration claims generally yield greater results for investors when compared to other avenues of financial recovery. Our law firm is pursuing many FINRA arbitration claims against the brokerage firms that recommended these risky investments to investors. The brokerage firms being pursued by KlaymanToskes on behalf of investors around the country include the following:

Western International Securities, Centaurus Financial, Emerson Equity, Newbridge Securities, Westpark Capital, American Trust Investment Services, Moloney Securities, Ausdal Financial Partners, Arete Wealth Management, NI Advisors, Cabot Lodge Securities, Madison Avenue Securities, Lifemark Securities, and other brokerage firms across the country.

If you suffered losses in GWG L Bonds due to unsuitable recommendations by your brokerage firm/financial advisor, contact KlaymanToskes at 888-997-9956 or by email at investigations@klaymantoskes.com in furtherance of our investigation.

About KlaymanToskes

KlaymanToskes is a leading national securities law firm which practices exclusively in the field of securities arbitration and litigation on behalf of retail and institutional investors throughout the world in large and complex securities matters.

If You Suffered Losses in GWG L Bonds at Centaurus Financial Please Contact the Law Firm of KlaymanToskes

IRVINE, CA, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — National investment loss and securities attorneys KlaymanToskes continues representing clients against Centaurus Financial for the brokerage firm’s unsuitable recommendations of GWG L Bonds. The law firm urges all customers of Centaurus Financial and/or any other brokerage firms who suffered losses in GWG L Bonds to contact the firm immediately at 888-997-9956.

KlaymanToskes is currently representing numerous customers of Centaurus Financial who suffered losses due to recommendations to invest in GWG L Bonds. The most recent FINRA arbitration claims (Case No. 25-00324 and Case No. 25-00402) were filed on behalf of several investors seeking to recover $165,000 in collective damages after being recommended to invest in unsuitable GWG L Bond investments by their financial advisors.

According to the claims filed by KlaymanToskes, Centaurus Financial misrepresented GWG L Bonds as safe, low-risk investments suitable for retirement income. Centaurus Financial failed to disclose the significant risks associated with GWG L Bonds, including illiquidity and lack of principal protection.

In April 2022, GWG Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, leaving investors unable to access their principal investments. Now, nearly three years later, the GWG Wind Down Trust has confirmed that L Bondholders will receive only approximately three cents for every dollar invested after deductions. This means that a $100,000 investment in GWG L Bonds will yield approximately $3,000 in recovery from the bankruptcy—a devastating financial loss for thousands of investors.

Accordingly, now that the GWG bankruptcy court’s recovery is clear, time is of the essence for investors to act. Recoveries in FINRA arbitration claims generally yield greater results for investors when compared to other avenues of financial recovery. The law firm is currently representing many GWG L Bondholders throughout the nation in FINRA arbitration claims against the brokerage firms and financial advisors that recommended the speculative L Bonds.

Customers of Centaurus Financial who suffered losses in GWG L Bonds are encouraged to contact attorney Steven D. Toskes, Esq. at (888) 997-9956 or by email at investigations@klaymantoskes.com in furtherance of our investigation.

If You Suffered Losses With John Chaney at Moloney Securities Please Contact the Law Firm of KlaymanToskes

ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — National investment loss and securities attorneys KlaymanToskes issues an important notice to customers of financial advisor John Chaney and Moloney Securities after their recommendations of unsuitable GWG L Bond and Priority Income Fund investments caused an investor to suffer $125,000 in damages. The law firm urges all customers of John Chaney and Moloney Securities who suffered investment losses to contact the firm immediately at 888-997-9956.

KlaymanToskes reports the law firm has filed a FINRA arbitration claim (Case No. 25-00223) against Moloney Securities on behalf of an investor who is seeking to recover damages of $125,000, in connection with being recommended to invest in unsuitable GWG L Bond and Priority Income Fund investments by her financial advisor John Chaney (CRD# 44529).

According to the claim filed by KlaymanToskes, Moloney Securities and financial advisor John Chaney misrepresented GWG L Bonds and Priority Income Fund as safe, low-risk investments to the customer. Instead, these speculative and illiquid alternative investments were unsuitable for an investor seeking to preserve retirement savings.

KlaymanToskes’ investigation found that Moloney Securities and Chaney overconcentrated $325,000 of the investor’s funds into alternative investments, representing nearly all of the investor’s liquid net worth. In January 2022, GWG stopped paying interest to bondholders, and by April 2022, GWG Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, leaving investors without access to their principal. Additionally, the Priority Income Fund investment continues to suffer from liquidity issues and market volatility.

Nearly three years after GWG filed for bankruptcy, the GWG Wind Down Trust has confirmed that L Bondholders will receive only approximately three cents for every dollar invested after deductions. To put this into perspective, a $100,000 investment in GWG L Bonds will yield approximately only $3,000 in recovery from the bankruptcy. Given this outcome, investors must act quickly to explore recovery options. Recoveries in FINRA arbitration claims against the brokerage firms that recommended these risky investments generally yield greater results than other avenues of recovery.

Customers of John Chaney and/or any other financial advisor who suffered investment losses in GWG L Bonds or Priority Income Fund at Moloney Securities are encouraged to contact attorney Steven D. Toskes, Esq. at (888) 997-9956 or by email at investigations@klaymantoskes.com in furtherance of our investigation.

If You Suffered Losses With Scott Jackson at J.W. Cole Financial Please Contact the Law Firm of KlaymanToskes

PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — National investment loss and securities attorneys KlaymanToskes issues an important notice to customers of financial advisor Scott Jackson and J.W. Cole Financial, Inc. after their recommendations of unsuitable alternative investments caused two investors to suffer up to $500,000 in damages. The law firm urges all customers of Scott Jackson and J.W. Cole Financial who suffered investment losses to contact the firm immediately at 888-997-9956.

KlaymanToskes reports the law firm has filed a FINRA arbitration claim (Case No. 25-00082) against J.W. Cole Financial on behalf of two retired investors, who are seeking to recover damages of up to $500,000, in connection with being recommended to invest in unsuitable, illiquid real estate investment trusts (REITs) by their financial advisor, Scott Jackson (CRD# 4443921).

According to the claim filed by KlaymanToskes, the customers, a retired couple, sought low-risk, fixed-income investments to protect their retirement savings. J.W. Cole Financial and its representative Scott Jackson allegedly misrepresented high-risk, illiquid REITs as safe investments that would provide stable income. Despite the couple’s conservative investment goals, Scott Jackson, through J.W. Cole recommended over $250,000 in alternative investments to the customers, including the following:
– ARC Hospitality Investors Trust REIT,
– New York City REIT,
– CIM Real Estate Finance Trust (formerly Cole Credit Property Trust), and
– CNL Healthcare Properties REIT.

The law firm’s investigation found that J.W. Cole Financial and its advisor failed to conduct reasonable due diligence on the investments recommended to the customers. For example, the ARC Hospitality Investors Trust REIT suspended dividends in 2017, stopped share redemptions in 2019, and eventually filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2021. The couple is now unable to access their principal investment.

Customers of Scott Jackson and/or any other financial advisor who suffered investment losses at J.W. Cole Financial are encouraged to contact attorney Steven D. Toskes, Esq. at (888) 997-9956 or by email at investigations@klaymantoskes.com in furtherance of our investigation.

Study links prenatal hypoxia to increased third ventricle volume and sensory dysfunction in children with ASD, highlighting the role of birth injuries

Exposure to prenatal hypoxic risk conditions may exacerbate or modify the neurodevelopmental trajectory and symptom severity in ASD.”

— Greg Vigna, MD

SANTA BARBARA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — “Clearly there are children with the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder who have objective findings on MRI that are associated with perinatal hypoxia. That is a birth injury,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, Board Certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

What did Dr. Perciado report in her article published in Autism Research, “Prenatal exposure to hypoxic risk conditions in autistic neurotypical youth; Associated ventricular differences, sleep, disturbance, and sensory processing” (2024; 17:2547-2557)?:

“Results from a cohort of 104 youth revealed a higher incidence of exposure to prenatal hypoxic conditions in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) group.

Additionally, ASD individuals with prenatal hypoxic exposure demonstrated larger third ventricle volumes compared with both autism spectrum disorder and neurotypical control individuals without such exposure, respectively.

Furthermore, associations were identified between prenatal hypoxic exposure, third ventricle volume, sensory dysfunction, and severity of sleep disturbances. These findings suggest exposure to prenatal hypoxic risk conditions may exacerbate or modify the neurodevelopmental trajectory and symptom severity in ASD.”

Read Dr. Perciado’s article: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/aur.3250

Dr. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national birth injury lawyer, states, “This is an important finding and may assist early diagnosis and early intervention for children at risk. Children with autism spectrum disorder might benefit from diagnostic testing to determine if hypoxic brain damage might be present which may change the neurodevelopment of the child.”

Dr. Vigna concludes, “My law firm provides case evaluations with in-house consultants trained in obstetrics and neonatology to best understand the events described in the medical records. Hypoxic brain injuries are serious injuries, objective testing may be necessary, and every aspect of the delivery should be reviewed.”

If You Suffered Losses With Financial Advisor Rajesh Markan at Merrill Lynch Please Contact the Law Firm of KlaymanToskes

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — National investment loss and securities attorneys KlaymanToskes continues representing investors in FINRA arbitration claims against Merrill Lynch related to alleged fraudulent conduct by barred financial advisor Rajesh Markan. The law firm continues to investigate claims on behalf of individuals who were misled into believing they were investing in legitimate Bain Capital private equity offerings, only to later discover their funds had been misappropriated. The law firm urges all customers of Rajesh Markan at Merrill Lynch and/or Hilltop Securities to contact the firm immediately at 888-997-9956.

KlaymanToskes is currently representing multiple clients in FINRA arbitration claims against both Merrill Lynch and Hilltop Securities (Case No. 25-00323, No. 24-02289, No. 24-02148, and No. 24-02147), collectively alleging millions of dollars in damages due to fraudulent conduct by former financial advisor Rajesh Markan. These claims involve allegations that Markan misappropriated client funds while falsely representing investments in non-existent private equity and hedge fund offerings.

The most recent claim (Case No. 25-00323) against Merrill Lynch was filed on behalf of two investors seeking to recover $500,000 in damages. According to the claims filed by KlaymanToskes, Rajesh Markan solicited investors to invest in what he falsely represented as a Bain Capital private equity opportunity. Instead of directing the funds to a legitimate investment, Markan allegedly misappropriated the money for personal use and created fraudulent documents to deceive his clients into believing their investments were growing in value. These documents included fabricated performance reports and forged correspondence purporting to be from Bain Capital.

KlaymanToskes’ investigation found that Rajesh Markan operated outside of Merrill Lynch’s approved communications channels, using personal email and text messages to discuss purported investments with clients. Furthermore, despite red flags and customer complaints, Merrill Lynch and Hilltop Securities allegedly did not intervene to prevent the ongoing misconduct by Markan.

In October 2024, FINRA permanently barred Rajesh Markan for refusing to cooperate with its investigation into the fraudulent private equity scheme. Markan was employed at Merrill Lynch in Flower Mound, TX from May 2009 to October 2022, and later joined Hilltop Securities in Dallas, TX, where he worked until August 2024.

Customers of Rajesh Markan who suffered investment losses are encouraged to contact attorney Steven D. Toskes, Esq. at (888) 997-9956 or by email at investigations@klaymantoskes.com in furtherance of our investigation.
