So it was gratifying to see that the Indianapolis Star published this story prompted by my prior post about how Eli Lilly is paying CVS Caremark to sell doctors on Cymbalta for fibromyalgia. Reporter John Russell did an excellent investigation, finding that the practice is more widespread than I realized. For example, he interviewed Dr. Matthew Mintz, an internist in Washington, D.C., who said he too had received a deceptive pharmacy drug ad, this one funded by Merck and encouraging Dr. Mintz to switch one of his diabetes patients from a different company's drug to Merck's Januvia.The Star's Russell also revealed that Lilly had used the pharmacy-whore technique to sell ...

Only 15% are employed full-time, and the NAS says a key problem is a lack of understanding of autism among agency staff who determine eligibility for benefits and provide employment support. NAS wants the British government to introduce autism coordinators who would work with frontline staff, local employers and employment support services, including services to obtain Britain’s new Employment and Support Allowance. Though the government has pledged support and says it will an autism strategy “in due c...

Really?!).  I'm still sort of stuck on the fact that we made history.  And I am sure that this is just a small step, the first of many to come. Scott Strumello also put together a nice legend that will tell you who everyone is (thanks Scott!). I can't find the words to explain just how neat this was for all of us.  But on the other hand I know that I was very skeptical about Roche's motives for all of this.  What do they want ...

Midtown, part of Wishard Health Services, provides services at about 20 Indianapolis Public Schools. “All children who we treat have to have parental consent. We want the family’s input on what it is they want their children to achieve or accomplish in school and in their counseling. So we get everybody involved and then try to build on the students’ strengths so that they can be successful,” Augenbergs said. While well-intentioned, such requirements means that seeking treatment for their concern is not a possibility. For many legitimate reasons, teens don’t always want their parents knowing what’s going on with...

The day before, New York Times reporter Gardiner Harris wrote that the meeting had been called for experts in mitochondrial disorders to discuss the “controversial case” of Hannah Poling, whose underlying mitochondrial disorder was found to have been “aggravated” by vaccines, after which she developed symptoms of autism. While one expert in mitochondrial disorders, Dr. Darryl Devivo, a professor of neurology and pediatrics at Columbia University, states that “‘After caring for hundreds of children with mitochondrial disease, I can’t recall a single one that had a complication from vaccination’” the ABC news nevertheless report implies,...

What would the implications for a heart attack be in dolphins you ask? Possible risk factors for the problem are similar to those of humans: genetics, infections, viruses or circulatory problems.

Alex, who is fourteen years old, told lawmakers it's essential that insulin-dependent kids like herself be able to do blood sugar checks and adjustments while in the classroom. Previously, kids were required to troop off to the nurse's office (if the school even has one) multiple times a day to do blood checks.
