The two medicines — Promacta and Actemra — should expand
Glaxo and Roche’s businesses into new territories, although
industry analysts say both are likely to start off as niche
treatments.

He’s 46, still a Disney fan and in charge of delivering hospital care to five Southwest Florida counties.
“I’m the guy who has to make it happen,” said Jose Morillo, who marked his first year as CEO of the Lehigh Regional Medical Center on Oct. 9.
He was the assistant administrator at the hospital for nearly two years starting in 2004, before he was transferred to Charlotte Regional Medical Center by medical center owner Health Management Associates Read the rest of this entry »
In my experience, FEHBP does not cover mental and physical illnesses equally. While I can visit a physician for general medical care as often as I like — or at least for as long as I can afford the co-payments — I can receive mental health care in an individual or group therapeutic setting only 26 times a year.
In short, if I needed treatment for diabetes or cancer or heart disease, there would be no limits other than those set by my ability to Read the rest of this entry »
The next time you laugh and—oops!—leak urine while you’re at book group, look around. New research shows roughly one in four American women suffers from a pelvic health issue including bladder control problems.
But incontinence, a common and often life-altering condition, is rarely discussed, even among friends. Instead, we run wearing dark shorts. We empty our bladders five times before leaving the house. Or we stop exercising altogether. Read the rest of this entry »
Rio Ferdinand must pass a fitness test on Monday if he is to play in England’s World Cup qualifier against Croatia on Wednesday.
The Times reports that the Manchester United defender will have to prove his readiness for the crucial game in Zagreb, before the England squad leaves Spain on Tuesday morning.

I would be in favour of taking road cycling out of the Olympics if only so that the kilometre time-trial, which was dropped after the Athens Games, could be added back in. It seems unfair that although road cycling has been tarnished by so many doping scandals, it was track cycling that had to lose an event to make way for BMX when it was added to the Beijing Games.
As far as tackling doping is concerned, I’m not sure whether dropping road cycling Read the rest of this entry »

PARIS (Reuters) – A 59-year-old woman has given birth to triplets at a Paris hospital after seeking fertility treatment in Vietnam, a hospital spokeswoman said on Monday.
News of the woman’s pregnancy has drawn widespread criticism in the French media since it was made public last week. It is illegal in France to provide fertility treatment to women who are no longer at an age when they can procreate naturally.
“On this particular point, scientific Read the rest of this entry »

Dietrich Jackson was a typical teenager, said Charity Pankratz, his grandmother and guardian.
The 17-year-old got up every day and went to school. He wore a wristband to promote living a drug-free life. But in December, the Greencastle resident died from ingesting prescription drugs while drinking alcohol at a party.
When people think of drugs, they think only of illicit ones such as marijuana and cocaine, Pankratz said.
“They don’t think of Read the rest of this entry »
