Approval of a new treatment for facial wasting lipoatrophy ; in people with HIV. Sculptra, manufactured by the French company Aventis and marketed by Dermik Laboratories, is an injected substance polylactic acid ; that causes the body to produce collagen a fibrous protein ; to fill in areas of lost fat. Results from studies to date mostly in white men ; have been impressive, with most treated individuals reporting a high degree of satisfaction. The therapy is not permanent, however, and repeated injections may be needed. Common side effects include pain at the injection site, temporary bruising, swelling, and small nodules lumps ; under the skin. To reduce the risk of adverse outcomes, Sculptra should be administered only by trained practitioners. Polylactic acid--under the name New-Fill-- has been approved in Europe since 1999 for cosmetic use. The pending U.S. approval would be only for HIV-related facial fat loss; advisory panel members expressed concern that once approved, Sculptra could be used off-label for other cosmetic purposes such as reducing wrinkles. Schering-Plough's Rebetol about ; and Roche's Opegus about ; . Schering countered by announcing its own generic version of ribavirin, priced to undercut the two newcomers. The first manufacturer s ; of new generic drugs receive exclusive marketing rights for six months, but more companies are expected to enter the generic ribavirin market by the end of the year, thus driving down prices.

Status epilepticus is a neurological emergency that results in mortality and neurological morbidity. It has been postulated that the reduction of inhibitory transmission during status epilepticus results from a rapid modification of GABAA receptors. However, the mechanism s ; that contributes to this modification has not been elucidated. We report, using an in vitro model of status epilepticus combined with electrophysiological and cellular imaging techniques, that prolonged epileptiform bursting results in a reduction of GABA-mediated synaptic inhibition. Furthermore, we found that constitutive internalization of GABAA receptors is rapid and accelerated by the increased neuronal activity associated with seizures. Inhibition of neuronal activity reduced the rate of internalization. These findings suggest that the rate of GABAA receptor internalization is regulated by neuronal activity and its acceleration contributes to the reduction of inhibitory transmission observed during prolonged seizures.

Figure 1 lists different stimulant medications. Each of them works basically the same way. Compared to placebos, each has the same effectiveness for attention and roughly the same incidence of side effects. However, Canada has recently taken Adderall XR off the shelf due to cardiac deaths. Our FDA is investigating but has stated that doctors should continue to prescribe Adderall XR as they have been. This not withstanding, for any given individual, one of the stimulants may work better than another or may have fewer or less intense side effects as compared to another. Thus, if one is not working well, it makes sense to try switching to a different stimulant medication, or from one stimulant class to another, before changing to a whole new type of medication.

SourceURL: : hispanicbusiness PR Newswire NUTLEY, N.J., Nov. 22 PRNewswire -- Roche today announced that the company will conduct the largest study to date comparing hepatitis C treatment response rates in Latinos and Non-Latino Caucasians with Pegasys R ; peginterferon alfa-2a ; plus Copegys R ; ribavirin, USP ; , the most prescribed hepatitis C combination treatment in the United States. Hepatitis C, a blood-borne infectious disease of the liver, can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. Latinos are disproportionately affected by hepatitis C; 2.1 percent of all Latinos, compared to 1.5 percent of all Non-Latino Caucasians have the disease. In addition, recent studies have presented evidence that hepatitis C may progress faster to cirrhosis and liver failure in Latinos compared to Non-Latino Caucasians and African Americans. "According to the most recent U.S. census figures, more than 13 percent of the U.S. population is Latino. Yet, Latinos have been underrepresented in clinical trials. Roche made a decision to conduct this study because we believe that it will answer several important questions about hepatitis C in Latinos, " said Salvatore Badalamenti, M.D., Medical Director, Roche. The Latino study, which began enrolling in September 2004, will compare response rates to Pegasys combination therapy in Latino patients and Non- Latino Caucasian patients. Previous studies with pegylated interferon combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C have shown that African Americans are less likely to respond to treatment than Caucasians. This study is designed to determine if differences in response rates exist between Latinos and Non-Latino Caucasians. "This is a very exciting study for the Latino community and we commend Roche for investing in this innovative study, " said Debbie Delgado Vega, Founder CEO of the Latino Organization for Liver Awareness. "We know Latinos are more likely to be impacted by hepatitis C and soon we and viramune.

Estimated 2.7 million Americans and 170 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer and the number one reason for liver transplants in the U.S. About Pegasys Pegasys, a pegylated alpha interferon, and Copegus were approved by the FDA in December 2002 for use in combination for the treatment of adults with chronic hepatitis C who have compensated liver disease and have not previously been treated with interferon alpha.
