Helper T cells recognize antigens displayed on macrophages and activate other immune cells including B cells and T cells. Activated B cells produce antibodies that destroy pathogens, while activated T cells destroy pathogen-infected cells. Memory cells remain after an infection to provide faster protection if the same pathogen is encountered again. Vaccines provide active artificial immunity by exposing the immune system to an inactivated or weakened form of a pathogen. They work by generating memory cells and antibodies that can quickly respond to a real infection.

Based on the evidence presented, the arbitrator found in favor of Petitioner and ordered Respondent to pay outstanding medical bills and temporary disability benefits.
Scott Goldstein and Josh Rudolfi of Ankin Law won an Appellate Court decision that saw a school bus driver receive medical care and temporary total disability benefits after a shoulder injury at work. The veteran bus driver injured her arm and shoulder when she operated the manual lever to open the door to the school bus.
This document is an arbitration decision from the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission regarding a claim filed by an employee, [Petitioner], against their employer, Ed Miniat L.L.C., [Respondent]. The decision finds that the Petitioner sustained work-related accidents on October 18, 2019 and October 25, 2019 while employed by the Respondent as a sanitation technician. As a result, the Respondent is ordered to pay unpaid medical bills, temporary total disability benefits from July 17, 2020 to January 26, 2022, and authorize prospective medical treatment recommended by Petitioner's doctor.
