Dyslipidema is one of the important manifestations caused due to estrogen deficiency. Comparitively higher values of TC, LDL-C and Triglycerides were recorded in menopausal women. When the total cholesterol was measured it was found 190.11 34.18 mg dl initially which reduced to 178.19 26.01 mg dl following 6 months drug therapy. On comparison the differences are highly significant p 0.001 ; on contrary in pacebo series a further increase in the levels were observed Table 40 ; . Proving the beneficial role of the test formulation. A mild modification in HDL-C was found following 6 months of test drug treatment. The increase in HDL-C level is very less but on comparison the changes are highly significant. In placebo series no such change could be noticed, The most important observation with HDL-C is that there is no further reduction in the level, on contrary in placebo group decline in the HDL-C level indicated the detoriated lipid profile and increased risk of TC and HDL-C ratio Table 41 ; Low density lipo protein cholesterol has been found higher side while considering the values of total cholesterol. The test formulation has exerted significant effect in regulating the levels. After six months of test drug treatment the LDL-C level reduced to a significant level p 0.001 ; while in placebo series the level increased significantly indicating further worsen of artherosclerosis Table 42 ; Similarly very low density lipoprotein cholesterol also reduced under influence of the test drug treatment.

UCB's expertise in the CNS field has led to the discovery and development of Keppra, a new compound for the treatment of epileptic diseases. It is indicated as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial seizures in adults with epilepsy. This means that it is yet to be approved for monotherapy, for generalized epilepsy or for children. Keppra was launched in the United States and Switzerland in April 2000, and the roll out of the product has continued all over Europe. Clinical trials have shown that Keppra significantly reduces the frequency of epileptic attacks. In addition, it is well tolerated and is the only anti-epileptic drug that has no undesired drug-drug interactions on its label. However, UCB is keeping the exact mechanism of the drug under wraps as it tries to strengthen its intellectual property position. More news is expected in the coming months. Research is continuing on line extensions, such as for paediatry 4 to 16 years ; , monotherapy and generalized epilepsy. Registration files for paediatry should be submitted in 4Q04, for generalized seizures in 4Q05 and for monotherapy in 2006. Although Keppra has not yet been approved for monotherapy, some major off-label use is already taking place. Some patients are on monotherapy because after a combination treatment with Keppra, the original antiepileptic was withdrawn, but de novo monotherapy is no exception. UCB has discovered that Keppra works through a completely new mechanism of action. It is therefore unlikely that it will be effective for the same indications as other epileptic drugs. Phase II studies are underway for neuropatic pain, psychiatric indication bipolar disorder ; and movement disorders Parkinson's disease ; . In 2003, Keppra's sales reached 314m: 209m in the USA, 100m in Europe and 5m in the rest of the world. Bridging studies are currently underway in Japan and it may be filed there in 2005, with a launch in 2006. When indication extensions are included, Keppra has blockbuster potential according to UCB. UCB is also developing an intra-venous formulation, which could be filed for approval late 2004 or early 2005. Approximately 30% of epilepsy patients are diagnosed in hospital and treated with an intra-venous antiepileptic. The epilepsy market is fairly conservative. Once a patient is controlled with a drug physicians are reluctant to switch to other drugs. This means that having an IV formulation to administer to newly diagnosed patients in hospitals is an important way to gain loyal clients and

Levetiracetam LEV, Keppra ; has recently been reported to have anti-dyskinetic activity against levodopa L-DOPA ; -induced dyskinesia in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset and macaque models of Parkinson's disease. Amantadine is frequently used as adjunctive therapy for L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia but adverse effects limit its clinical utility. The current study was designed to investigate whether LEV can potentiate the anti-dyskinetic action of amantadine. The anti-parkinsonian and anti-dyskinetic effects of LEV 13 and 60 mg kg ; and amantadine 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 and 0.3 mg kg ; , administered alone and in combination, were assessed in the MPTP-lesioned marmoset model of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia n 12 ; . LEV 60 mg kg ; and amantadine 0.3 mg kg ; administered alone significantly reduced LDOPA-induced dyskinesia without compromising the anti-parkinsonian action of L-DOPA. Lower doses were without any significant effects. The combination of LEV 60 mg kg ; and amantadine 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 and 0.3 mg kg ; significantly decreased dyskinesia severity, without compromising the anti-parkinsonian action of L-DOPA, more efficaciously than LEV or amantadine monotherapy. These results support the concept that normalisation of different pathophysiological mechanisms i.e. altered synchronization between neurons and enhanced NMDA transmission ; has a greater efficacy. Combined LEV amantadine therapy might be useful as an adjunct to L-DOPA to treat dyskinetic side effects and expand the population of Parkinson's disease patients that benefit from treatment with amantadine alone.

Other important regulation of recent note October 2000 ; is Regulation FD Financial Disclosure ; .As reported by Rudman 2001 ; , the regulation requires the company to disclose to all shareholders material information that the company shares with securities market professionals and fund managers. In the game of cat-and-mouse between corporate officer mouse ; and analyst cat ; , Regulation FD constrains the mouse but not the cat. In their sublimely clever ways, analysts can often extract information before the company representative knows what has happened. But the company has to work with the analysts to receive much-sought-after research coverage. The key point to remember about this overwhelming set of rules and regulations is that the regulation has been in response to various sins of commission and sins of omission on Wall Street. Perhaps humorist Dave Barry 2002 ; provides insight: Q: Why didn't Wall Street realize that Enron was a fraud? A: Because Wall Street relies on stock analysts. These are people who do research on companies and then, no matter what they find, even if the company has burned to the ground, enthusiastically recommend that investors buy the stock.

Description Otitis media is defined as inflammation of the middle ear. Acute otitis media is usually a bacterial infection accompanied by viral upper respiratory infection. Recurrent acute otitis media is diagnosed when there are 3 or more acute episodes in 6 months, or 4 or more in 1 year. Otitis media with effusion occurs when persistent inflammation manifests as asymptomatic middle ear fluid that follows acute otitis media or arises without prior otitis media. By age 7 years, 93% of children have 1 or more episodes of acute otitis media; 39% have 6 or more episodes. Otitis media most commonly occurs between the ages of 6-12 months; and declines after age 7 years. It is rare in adults. Causes Acute otitis media is considered to be caused by infection. A preceding viral upper respiratory infection produces eustachian tube dysfunction that is thought to promote bacterial infection via eustachian tube. Infectious agents include Haemophilus influenzae 20-25% Moraxella Branhamella ; catarrhalis 10-15% Group A streptococci 1-2% Staphylococcus aureus 1-2% and Sterile nonpathogens 25-30% ; . Of particular interest is that acute otitis media is the last entry: the most common cause is not an infection! Otitis media with effusion is considered to be caused by a silent bacterial infection in 20-40% of cases. Eustachian tube dysfunction thought important. Allergic causes rarely substantiated. Risk factors include: Day care; Formula feeding; Smoking in household; Male gender; and a Family history of middle ear disease. Acute otitis media in the 1st year of life is a risk factor for recurrent episodes. Conventional Lab Tests No lab tests are necessasary. Specialty Lab Tests The Comprehensive Allergy Antibody ; Profile assays blood for immediate and delayed reactions to 96 combined foods or 100 vegetarian foods, and 36 region-specific inhalants, allowing patients to moderate exposure to allergens.

Comparison Of Gender, Age And Race The overall adverse experience profile of KEPPRA was similar between females and males. There are insufficient data to support a statement regarding the distribution of adverse experience reports by age and race. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse events have been identified during postapproval use of KEPPRA. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a casual relationship to drug exposure. In addition to the adverse reactions listed above [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 ; ], the following adverse events have been reported in patients receiving marketed KEPPRA worldwide.

FUND PERFORMANCE Over the 12-month period to 30 June 2007, the fund returned 15.2% with net income reinvested, outperforming its benchmark index, which returned 14.0%. THE MARKET Major stock markets around the world, with the exception of Japan, rose during the 12-month review period, boosted by robust corporate results and takeover activity. Asia Pacific equities offered the highest returns in sterling terms, followed by the Continental European and UK markets. The steady rise in global indices was interrupted occasionally, following investor concerns about interest rate increases, surging oil prices and credit problems caused by exposure to risky sub-prime mortgages in the US. Economic growth remained strong in the major economies other than the US. Although inflation was high in these countries, it eased towards the end of the period in response to rising interest rates. Central Banks in the UK, Europe and Japan raised lending rates during the review period. However, the US Federal Reserve maintained the cost of borrowing at 5.25%. THE PORTFOLIO During the review period, strong stock selection boosted performance. Holdings in the capital goods sector, such as Precision Castparts, a leading US manufacturer of aircraft components, benefited from strong earnings growth in 2006 and a healthy outlook for the commercial aircraft segment. Selected positions in the software & services sector added value, as key holdings were buoyed by Merger & Acquisition activity. Japanese company Nintendo, the maker of video games, also supported returns amid robust growth expectations based on the strong sales of its game consoles. Meanwhile, leading US retailers, such as Macy's and office supplies firm OfficeMax, detracted from performance in light of concerns about weaker consumer spending. An underweight exposure to integrated oil majors was detrimental, as oil & gas stocks were buoyed by rising oil prices during the second half of the review period. However, concerns remain about increased capital expenditure and lower production levels. At the end of the review period, the portfolio was underweight banks and real-estate stocks. Rising interest rates could lead to a slowdown in consumer expenditure and concerns remain about the quality of some of the loans made by leading banks. Conversely, the fund manager found attractive opportunities in the information technology and materials sectors, which he believes could be re-rated. Overall, the portfolio had an overweight exposure to companies in the emerging markets, in light of their higher growth prospects. THE OUTLOOK.

Brussels, BELGIUM September 15th, 2005: UCB today announced that the primary end-point from its pivotal Phase III monotherapy clinical trial had been met. This trial compared Keppra levetiracetam ; to sustained release carbamazepine in newly diagnosed patients, suffering from epilepsy with partial or generalised tonicclonic seizures. Keppra demonstrated non-inferiority * to carbamazepine on seizure freedom1. In addition the trial provided further evidence of Keppra's favourable tolerability. "Keppra emerged from this study as the first of the new generation anti-epileptic drugs to show non-inferiority to sustained release carbamazepine with six month seizure freedom rates * of 73.0% and 72.8% for the Keppra and carbamazepine groups, respectively" said Professor Emilio Perucca, Lead Trial Investigator, University of Pavia, Italy. "The trial represents the first randomized, double-blind, positive controlled epilepsy monotherapy study to both reflect clinical practice and meet the most recent regulatory requirements, ensuring optimal * use of the current standard comparator, carbamazepine.
Veloped and is described in this paper. By means of electronic switching circuits a high pressure xenon lamp may be pulsed to high current levels for short, accurately controlled time intervals. Exposure times in the range of 1 to msec, are controlled by the electronic timing and switching circuits. Lamp currents as high as 2, 150 amperes are used for time duration of 1 msec, or less. Irradiances as high as 53.6 cal per square centimeter per second can be delivered to the cornea. Rabbit retina irradiances of 2, 867 cal per square centimeter per second have been obtained. Pulse durations including rise and delay time ; have been used to produce mild lesions on the rabbit retina. This instrument is being used to investigate the optical hazards accompanying short pulses of radiant energy similar to those emitted by nuclear weapons when they are exploded at high altitudes.

Drug-sensitive enhancer elements by interacting with the xenobiotic-sensing orphan nuclear receptors CXR, PXR, and CAR. These receptors compete by inhibiting or activating drugactivated enhancer elements, respectively. Our findings therefore indicate a direct molecular link between hepatic cholesterol levels and drug or xenobiotic induction of CYPs. A significant part of hepatic cholesterol is metabolized to bile acids. Bile acids are important regulators of cholesterol homeostasis by inhibiting hepatic cholesterol metabolism into bile acids or by enhancing uptake of dietary cholesterol. Thus, the levels of bile acids and cholesterol are linked and tightly controlled. This link occurs at the level of transcriptional regulation of CYP7A1 via the positively acting oxysterol-receptor LXR in rodents and is opposed by the negative effect of bile acids and the bile acid receptor FXR 7, 8 ; Fig. 7a ; . Under pathological conditions such as cholestasis, bile acids accumulate in the liver and cause cell damage. Additional mechanisms are needed under these conditions for bile acid metabolism and excretion. Here, we show that the xenobiotic-sensing nuclear receptor CXR is a low affinity bile acid receptor and is therefore capable of inducing CYP2H1 and CYP3A37 in the presence of high bile acid levels in a chicken hepatoma cell line. In mice and humans, the xenosensor PXR is also activated by high bile acid levels and plays a role in prevention of bile acid-induced hepatotoxicity 13, 17 ; . Thus, when bile acids accumulate in the liver and reach toxic concentrations, they activate xenobiotic-sensing nuclear receptors and stimulate their own metabolism into more hydrophilic hydroxylated bile acids, which are renally excreted. This concept has recently been demonstrated in the FXR-null mouse where bile acid export into bile is reduced and thus leads to elevated hepatic bile acid levels 35 ; . Strikingly, hydroxylated bile acids inhibit drug activation of drug- and bile acid-metabolizing CYPs and therefore directly regulate their own levels in the liver. In this report, we could show that hydroxylated bile acids activate the oxysterol-sensor LXR. Therefore, the inhibitory effects of oxysterols and hydroxylated bile acids are mediated by the same mechanism. Both in chickens and in mice 3, 13 ; , drugs activating PXR or CXR negatively affect the transcript level of CYP7A1, thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of bile acids from cholesterol but also potentially elevating plasma cholesterol levels. Consequently, we propose a novel regulatory mechanism by which the levels of cholesterol, bile acids, and hydroxylated bile acids in the liver are regulated by both drug-activated transcription factors and the oxysterolsensing nuclear receptors Fig. 7b ; . Of course, although not depicted in Fig. 7b, LXR activation by oxysterols potentially leads to inhibition of drug-metabolizing CYPs as LXR activation by hydroxylated bile acids might elevate Cyp7a1 levels in rodents. In conjunction with drug- and bile acid-metabolizing CYPs, phase II enzymes and transporters are activated by xenosensors, which therefore control a whole enzyme battery for metabolism and clearance of high levels of lipophilic, toxic compounds 13, 36, 37 ; . This is the first report describing inhibition of gene expression by LXR RXR heterodimers on a DR-4 element. The mechanistic explanation for this inhibition has not been elucidated yet and is under current investigation. Our results suggest that apart from.
