over at Furious Seasons has a great interview with author Tom Wootton about his two books, The Depression Advantage (2007) and The Bipolar Advantage (2005). These are two self-help books that use “accelerated learning techniques [the author] developed as a corporate consultant to Fortune 500 companies” (according to the Amazon blurb). The Amazon reviews are worth the read, as some readers have some reservations about the author. It’s an interesting interview and the author makes a very important point that we often see lost in the conversation about coping with long-term depression or bipolar disorder. You can learn important lessons from dealing with adversity, which includes any adversity in our lives. I’m not sure I buy into the idea that having a serious...

The program is six weeks long. Historically it has been all special education students and staff in one - and now two buildings, as our numbers have grown over the years I've always maintained that the summer school program is a very positive experience. I believe this to be true for several reasons. The staff and students are all from special education classes in the district thus there are overlaps with prior shared experiences. The first days are actually somewhat of a reunion and very exciting. In past years there have been field trips to parks, movies and restaurants. These are especially meaningful for students who do not have these experiences as a daily part of their family lives. There have been programs that come into the building suc...

Marcia Cross is campaigning to give women the choice to recuperate for at least 48 hours following a mastectomy and was joined by Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., Rep.

But naturally, a slight majority (60%) isn't good enough.Dr. Earl S. Ford, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta said "As welcome as the recent favorable trends in glycemic control are, additional efforts are needed to help the approximately 40% of patients with diabetes who do not have adequate glycemic control."But I think its very unrealistic to assume it will get much better than this -- honestly. First of all, the struggle to achieve this was monumental, with tools that could best be described as prehistoric at best. Think about how crude the...

Specifically, I noted the work being undertaken by New Zealand-based Living Cell Technologies, Ltd. (LCT), as that company is now undertaking human clinical trials in Russia. I hadn't mentioned another company, this one based in San Diego, California named MicroIslet, Inc., a biotechnology company engaged in the development and commercialization of transplantation therapies for diabetes. I chose not to report on MicroIslet's innovations not because of lack of progress, but because MicroIslet is not as far along in trials of their product as LCT is with theirs. Perhaps did a disservice in not reporting it, therefore, I am reporting on their 2007 progress today.MicroIslet's innovation invo...

The real question is whether it even matters? I cannot answer that question today, but I can provide some perspective on what the American drug industry is thinking.The pharmaceutical and health-products industry has spent more on lobbying Washington –- $1.1 billion -– since 1998 than any other industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which analyzes lobbying disclosure reports. Critics of the pharmaceutical industry argue that heavy spending on lobbyists and campaign contributions is a big reason drug companies have gotten much of what they've sought in ...

Being a blogging newbie that I was, this has also been the year when I started going to offline blog events and meeting other bloggers in the flesh. In a sense, my blogging world expanded and I realized that there’s more to blogging than just being able to write my thoughts online (and yeah, of course, there’s blog traffic rush too). And since bloggers being humans really, we tend to form our little communities, both online and offline. With formation of such communities, it is expected that there will be some skirmishes here and there, some bouts of misunderstanding, and a little argument everytime somebody talks about a debatable issue.

Each day virtually all of the 51,000 pharmacies in the U.S. download, transmit and sell personally identifiable information for every drug they disburse.

Perhaps we like to believe simple folklore because, even if not true, it feels like a common, shared bond that “everybody knows” and so we can repeat with others knowing they’ll agree. Leave it to the British Medical Journal and authors Rachel Vreeman and Aaron Carroll (2007) to spoil our holidays by debunking seven of the most commonly repeated medical myths about our bodies and living today.

I was going to cop-out today and post a holiday meme or something, but in my scan of this morning's news, I learned that legislation I wrote about in November actually passed in Congress yesterday. I was expecting that like many other bills pending, this one would be delayed until 2008 since Congress hasn't accomplished a tremendous amount in recent months, and much of what they did accomplish only passed because of tremendous lobbying (by both professional lobbyists and citizen advocacy groups).The legislation I'm referring to would require scientists getting grant money from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to submit to the NIH a final copy of their research pap...

Sorry it’s such a long post, but it was a busy year! Highlights from Research STEP-BD A large, randomized, placebo-controlled study from the STEP-BD folks was published in April in the New England Journal of Medicine by Sachs et al. (2007). It found that in people with bipolar disorder, adding an antidepressant to a mood stabilizer doesn’t help to relieve depressive symptoms. It also doesn’t make things worse (e.g., there is no increased likelihood of a manic or hypomanic episode on an antidepressant). However, another study by Goldberg et. al. (2007) found that antidepressants were associated with significantly higher mania symptom severity at a 3 month follow-...

One issue that is seldom mentioned is that although interstate commerce in goods and services is fairly routine in most other areas of the national economy (including banking and financial services, since the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, anyway), the insurance industry, and more specifically the healthcare sector is governed by a confusing patchwork of various state laws and inconsistent government regulations, all of which impacts costs and availability. This means that individuals and families are unable to secure the kind of coverage they want at the prices they wish to pay, and companies struggle with how to offer coverage that addresses the mandates ...

According to a study issued by the RAND Corporation, such programs appear to improve the quality of health care, but there is little evidence that such efforts actually save money. The RAND study is not the first to raise this question. A 2004 report from Congressional Budget Office raised its own concerns, saying that there was "insufficient evidence" that disease management programs can reduce overall health spending, or generate savings for federal health programs such as Medicare. Diabetes is perhaps the condition most often targeted by such disease management programs because it is relatively easy to do a glycosated hemoglobin (better known as the hemoglo...

The reasons differ, depending on what type of diabetes a person has. In the case of type 1, the non-physiological manner in which insulin is administered means that insulin is delayed in getting into the bloodstream and therefore cannot adequately match the body's needs. Although insulin analogs are supposed to better address this issue, they are not without their flaws. People with type 2 who use supplemental insulins have similar issues to people with type 1. They, along with those on other treatments also try to manage their carb ...

In the article, the authors wrote:"Unfortunately, HbA1c loses its validity as a surrogate marker when patients have a constellation of metabolic abnormalities, when the most common complications are macrovascular, and when the treatments have multiple poorly understood effects."Obviously, that was a not-so-subtle reference recent issues with the GlaxoSmithKline drug Avandia.

See below for details. My previous letter written to him can be seen here. In his commentary, Mr. Taurel argues that a lot of pharma reporting in the media is misinformation, or perhaps what could best be called sensationalism. While I agree with that general assessment, Mr. Taurel may find the reasons for my agreement a bit more disturbing.First, lets look at the big picture. Since 1997, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) loosened the restrictions on what is called direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising, drug companies have spent billions of dollars advertising their drugs to a general audience.

The collage at left, culled from the weekend newspapers, summarises it for me. It is quite uplifting when after a long, stale and conformist period in history the populace turns around en masse and says “enough, time for change”. The Labor Party talked the talk during their campaign on science issues: higher education, IT infrastructure, skills shortages, maths/science degrees, technology development and action on climate change. Let’s just hope they deliver on some of those policies.

Although Lilly's Humalog was the first insulin analog on the market, over the past decade especially, Lilly took its eyes off the ball and lost its position of dominance in the U.S. type 1 diabetes treatment market to rival Novo Nordisk and more recently, some share to Sanofi Aventis.For the past several years (my first post on this subject was in 2005), I chronicled Lilly's squandering of insulin market share in the U.S., from as much as 85% of the U.S. insulin market back in 1995 to just 43% in 2006 according to data from IMS Health.

A few years ago, federal health officials commissioned an attention-grabbing ad campaign to try and convince mothers that their babies faced genuine health risks if they did not breast-feed. The campaign featured striking photos of not only insulin vials and syringes, but also asthma inhalers topped with rubber nipples (see BrandWeekNRx.com for all of the pictures).But this ad, along with several others, were apparently caught up i...

Blog is better known for his weekly YouTube postings), but perhaps when you have a look, you may see my logic here.Last night, I was watching the news and there was another story about yet another local school district trying to introduce "healthier" snack options by replacing sodas with (and the logic escapes me here) juice, which often contains as many calories and as much sugar as the so-called unhealthy beverages they are supposed to be replacing.Bottled water IS healthier, but replacing sodas with juices that are often loaded with high-fructose corn syrup and other crap make the newly chosen beverages no better than the sodas which have been banned by many school districts across the country.

I must apologize, but I simply forgot to do that yesterday, so I'll address that here, along with a few other miscellaneous items.Lilly Profits Up, But Few Signs of Improvement Seen in Insulin BusinessWhile Pfizer made the news for its decision to pull the plug on its inhalable insulin product Exubera yesterday, a real powerhouse in the insulin market, Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Company also released earnings yesterday.

Pfizer was the first one to release its results, and the company released a bombshell of sorts: they are pulling the plug on Exubera, the inhalable insulin that was released with much fanfare back in 2006. But the company made numerous mistakes in entering a business segment (diabetes) that they knew nothing about, and approached the market with a sense of arrogance that doomed the product.Pfizer Inc posted third-quarter 2007 revenues of $12.0 billion, a 2% decline from the same period last year. The company's reported net income was $761 million in the third quarter of 2007, a decrease of 77% from t...

The Avandia incident received widespread media attention and brought Congress to re-examine the FDA's review procedures.Yesterday, the FDA reported that the popular injectable medicine to treat type 2 diabetes, Byetta (known generically as exenatide), may be linked to cases of acute pancreatitis in some patients. Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis (the kind that was linked by the FDA to B...

But the number and percentage who feel it is taboo is not as many (or as high) as one might expect. The survey was released by Evercare, a provider of health plans for people who have chronic illnesses, are older, or have disabilities which is owned by healthcare giant United Healthcare.According to the survey, which was released yesterday, 82% of respondents said they knew someone with a chronic illness, but were more likely to discourage friends or loved ones from buying the wrong house (65%), loan them a large amount of money (56%), advise them against taking a job they didn't think w...

Clooney visited the medical center when he and girlfriend, Sarah Larson, were treated for injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident recently. Those employees, incidentally, have been suspended without pay for a month. They were suspended because Clooney is a celebrity, but if the same thing happened to an average person, I suspect they wouldn't have even been reprimanded.Unfortunately, medical privacy is a huge issue that has yet to receive the kind of public attention ...

Sanofi Aventis is the manufacturer of the world's best-selling insulin analog: Lantus, as well as the rapid-acting insulin analog Apidra, and Amaryl, a sulfonylurea to treat type 2 diabetes.

Bipolar disorder is an illness of variations, therefore the entertainment this week is from two variations on the con game. The first con exploits bipolar disorder in an attempt to trick the court system into handing down a ‘get out of jail free card.’ The second con uses caring words and ridiculous ‘celebrations’ to maintain the status quo thereby securing benefactor roles for two organizations. Bipolar disorder is once again at play this week. This time it is a pawn in simple and elaborate con games. Let’s begin with a master con artist, Sharon Blevins.
