Ultimately by its judgement and order dated 3rd March 2004, the Hon'ble High Court of Allahabad has ruled that the prices fixed in respect of the said drugs were illegal and void. The Government of India had filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of India against this Order. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in its interim order directed the Government not to take any coercive steps or launch any prosecution against the Company for recovery of money till the appeal is finally decided. The Company has received legal advice that the demand notices of the government are not sustainable. 7. The net difference in foreign exchange debited to the Profit and Loss Account is Rs.10.58 crore Previous year Rs.5.95 crore ; . 8. Insurance claim includes Rs.92.42 crore being the amount settled by various insurance companies during the year against insurance claims relating to losses on account of floods. These claims were mainly under Declared Value Policies in respect of damage to finished goods at the Company's Bhiwandi godown caused by the floods in July 2005. The total cost of the said finished goods cannot be precisely determined in view of the impact of common and unallocable expenses. Consequently, the full amount of claims received has been accounted as other income. 9. Expenditure on Research & Development Rupees in crore.

To track cells originating from bone marrow during fracture healing. Following lethal irradiation and engraftment of bone marrow expressing the LacZ transgene constitutively, wild type mice underwent tibial fracture. Donor bone marrow-derived cells, which originated from the hematopoietic compartment, did not participate in the chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages during fracture healing. Instead, the donor bone marrow contributed to inflammatory and bone resorbing cells. This model can be exploited in the future to investigate the role of inflammation and matrix remodeling during bone repair, independent from osteogenesis and chondrogenesis. 2006 Elsevier Inc.

[Dr. U.A. Liberman, Felsenstein Medical Research Center, Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel] - INT. J. CLIN. PRACT. 2006 60 11 ; - summ in ENGL A number of antiresorptive agents reduce the risk of vertebral fractures, but few have shown consistent effects on hip and other non-spine fractures. Meta-analysis provides a more precise estimate than individual trials when results are consistent across pooled trials. Earlier meta-analyses summarised the results for vertebral and non-spine fractures. New data have emerged for hormone therapy HT ; , alendronate ALN ; , risedronate RIS ; and ibandronate IBN ; . We surveyed recent reports of randomised, placebo-controlled trials with non-spine and or hip fracture data, and used meta-analysis where appropriate to test for heterogeneity and derive pooled estimates. The magnitude of effect on hip fracture appears to be similar to that for non-spine fracture for each drug, but differs among drugs. Based on the current data, ALN reduces the risk of hip and nonspine fracture by 49-55%, HT by 25-36% and RIS by 26-27%. There is insufficient and or inconsistent evidence of an effect on these fractures for IBN, calcitonin and raloxifene. 2006 Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, NJ, USA 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd. 497. Evidence for the benefits of prophylaxis in the management of hemophilia A - Hoots W.K. and Nugent D.J. [Dr. W.K.

There now exists an extensive clinical literature that demonstrates clear benefits of prophylaxis for patients with hemophilia A compared to on-demand treatment, including a reduction in the number of bleeding episodes, improved joint function, and greater patient well-being. However, the value of these benefits must be weighed against the heavier economic burden of increased factor use. This paper reviews the literature that compares the benefits of prophylaxis with that of on-demand treatment, compares varying prophylaxis dose and administration frequency protocols, and considers the long-term cost-benefit of prophylactic therapy. 2006 Schattauer GmbH, Stuttgart. 498.

Suicide remains a major factor in Irish society today and a very real concern for parents, teachers, youth sports leaders and anyone involved with young people in particular. While young people are currently the highest risk group in Ireland young males in particular ; the problem of suicide is not specific to any age group, social class or identifiable risk group. Suicide has taken more lives in Ireland than Road Traffic Accidents over the past number of years. Suicide prevention is an approach which must be addressed with sensitivity and applied across many different groups within society. While the Final Report of the Task Force on Suicide 1998 identified Health Boards as agencies with responsibility in this area, it also highlighted the range of other Statutory and Voluntary agencies which needed to be involved to have any impact against this societal problem. A.S.I.S.T. is a recognised risk assessment tool to help those working with individuals at risk of suicide to assess the level of risk involved. It is envisaged that all healthcare personnel, school staff, youth and community leaders should be offered training in this method of risk assessment. Ideally the principles of this training should be made known throughout entire communities to increase awareness of risk factors and protective factors at play with individuals who may consider suicide as an option in times of crisis. The incidence of suicide remains alarmingly high in Ireland, despite a slight reduction in 2003 - 444 compared to 451 in 2002, within the M.H.B. the incidence of suicide was 19 compared to 30 the previous year. These figures continue to show an increasing trend among young males, but figures for parasuicide attempted suicides and deliberate self harm ; show increasing trends among the younger female population. As previous attempts are known to increase the risk of completed suicides, 4 of every 10 who die by suicide have made a previous attempt ; , therefore this must also be taken into account. The South Eastern Health Board, has offered A.S.I.S.T. training to staff in the region since 2002. Two Training Officers working with the Suicide Resource Office in that region have delivered A.S.I.S.T. to almost 300 personnel during that time. Trainers are available in N.I. and A.S.I.S.T. is rolling out there also. A number of staff working within the Mental Health Services of the M.H.B. had the opportunity to avail of this 2 day training earlier this year when it was delivered by the S.E.H.B. trainers, and feed back from that was very positive. The National Suicide Review Group has endorsed this training module and has funded the training of two personnel from within each Health Board region to train as A.S.I.S.T. Trainers. The training is delivered by Living Works Education Inc., the Canadian Organisation which has delivered the training for those already established here and in Northern Ireland. This week long intensive training for trainers is taking place in August and the two day training programme will be available for staff by the end of this year. The Suicide Resource Officer with the Board has been providing Suicide Awareness Training for Health Board Staff on an on going basis since that post was established in 1999. A.S.I.S.T. is considered a step up from that basic awareness training and looks more specifically at assessment of the level of risk involved, increasing awareness of available services for those at risk and generally to increase staffs' own level of confidence around dealing with this very difficult and sensitive issue. While staff working in certain settings are exposed to these situations on a regular basis and are competent in dealing with them, a recognised and nationally standardised assessment tool will provide a greater level of uniformity among staff providing services for these clients. For further information on this training or any concerns on this issue please feel free to contact Rita Kelly at The Suicide Resource Office, The Old Maltings, Coote St., Portlaoise. Tel: 0502 64513 Mobile: 086 8157320. The Suicide Resource Office is also the contact number for the Suicide Bereavement Support Service which provides support by trained facilitators for those who have been bereaved by suicide within the midlands region. This service operates from six centres throughout the Board's region at Portlaoise, Birr, Athlone, Tullamore, Longford and Mullingar and is a free and confidential service.

The influence of drug makers on doctors' prescribing habits extends far beyond the pitch of a sales representative. Drug companies are the single leading source of information on drugs for many doctors, according to testimony by Dr. Michael Wilkes, vice dean for medical education at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, and drug companies spend $20 billion annually to market their products. As Wilkes asserted in testimony, aside from sales representatives, doctors receive much of their information on new drugs from Continuing Medical Education CME ; conferences and journal advertisements, both of which are underwritten by drug companies. According to Wilkes, "CME has become an important part of doctors' professional lives and PhRMA money has become the life-line of CME." Drug companies and doctors "have an unhealthy symbiotic relationship that is pulling down the medical profession. Medical journals, medical societies, and even medical schools fight to woo drug company sponsorship of educational events." The pharmaceutical industry does much of its marketing to doctors through the guise of "educational outreach, " but as is clear from the Merck investigation, the presentations of drug companies are intended to sell products rather than educate doctors. Wilkes pointed to one study of pharmaceutical advertisements that "showed that much information 42 percent ; failed to comply with one or more FDA regulations, including 35 percent which lacked fair balance between risks and benefits." Wilkes' research has also shown that "40 percent of print ads in medical journals did not present fair balance, 58 percent contained images that expert reviewers felt minimized concerns about side effects, and that 47 percent of the ads did not appropriately highlight risks and contraindications in special populations such as the elderly." Wilkes made it clear that Merck is not alone in its aggressive marketing of drugs and that the problems found at Merck are pervasive throughout the pharmaceutical industry. When questioned, Wilkes conceded that Merck's reputation is better than most other pharmaceutical companies. This admission prompted several representatives to call for another hearing featuring Merck's competitors and lansoprazole. 1. Kerbel RS, Rak J, Kobayashi H, Man MS, St.Croix B, Graham CH.

Another rare but important sideeffect of ketoconazole is the idiosyncratic hepatic reaction. It occurs in 1 10, 000 patients.26 Because of the potential hepatotoxicity and multiple drug interactions, use of ketoconazole is limited and replaced by the newer antifungal agents. Fluconazole and itraconaz9le are the new triazole antifungal agents. They have a similar spectrum as ketoconazole with additional efficacy against some non-dermatophyte molds. They also work by inhibiting the fungal cytochrome P-450 enzyme, lanosterol N-demethylase, required for the synthesis of fungal ergosterol. In comparison with ketoconazole, the triazoles itraconazold and fluconazole are less specific for m a m cytochrome P-450 enzymes. 26 Subsequently, these newer antifungal agents have less risk of hepatotoxicity and side-effects than ketoconazole. Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated persistence of fluconazole and itraconazole in the nails for up to 5 and 6 months respectively 27, 28 after discontinuation of therapy. This feature allows intermittent therapy of these agents to be effective. The pulse regimens shown to be effective for onychomycosis are fluconazole 300 m g once weekly for 6 months for toenail infections and 4 months for fingernails, 29 whilst itraconazole.

Been described.3, 4 The most prevalent mechanism seems to be active efflux, 5 although the relative frequency of resistance mechanisms is difficult to ascertain. Additionally, some strains express multiple genetic alterations.2 Antifungal susceptibility testing, as recommended by the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute formerly NCCLS ; 6 is laborious and time consuming, giving no information regarding the mechanism of resistance. Flow cytometry provides consistent results concerning the susceptibility of Candida to fluconazole in a few hours.7 Using the fluorescent stain FUN-1, it is possible to classify Candida strains as susceptible, susceptible dose-dependent or resistant to fluconazole.7 This approach also allows clarification of the mode of action of some non-antifungals, such as local anaesthetics, benzydamine8 and ibuprofen.9 The main objective of our investigation regards the mechanisms of resistance reversion. In eukaryotic neoplastic cells, drug efflux is common and confers multiresistance to antineoplastic drugs. The use of blockers of efflux pumps such as verapamil or sex hormones, 10 allows reversion of resistance. Thus, we decided to assay such compounds in the reversion of resistance of Candida to azoles such as fluconazole, itraconazole and voriconazole, and included ibuprofen, which at low concentrations has a synergic effect with fluconazole and has an unrelated fungicidal effect at higher concentrations.9 Reversion of resistance to azoles occurred in the majority of the resistant strains. An objective method, based on radioactive measurement of the uptake of itraconazole in yeast cells in the presence or absence of the modulators, proved our hypothesis of reversion of efflux. The results strongly suggest that ibuprofen, a potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug, might have a future role in therapy of candidosis, in association with a classical antifungal drug like fluconazole. In 1989, that power came in spades and in the unforgettable shade of purple and macrodantin.

The role of fungi in asthma: a new indication for anti-fungal therapy? Antifungal treatment may have a role to play in the treatment of asthma, according to new data from the FAST study, presented by Professor David Denning, from the Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester, UK, in his keynote lecture on new clinical and molecular targets for antifungal therapy. Patients with severe asthma and proven fungal sensitivity scored significantly better on the well respected Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire AQLQ ; after eight months treatment with itraconazole, in addition to their usual medication, than placebo p 0.014 ; . Professor Denning explained that the 0.82 improvement in AQLQ score achieved with itraconazole was well above the 0.5 threshold generally agreed to have clinical significance, and was higher than the 0.4 improvement seen with the recently introduced, novel antibody treatment for severe asthma, omalizumab and mirtazapine.

And axial skeletal malformations. Cleft palate and limb defects resulted after single exposures between gestation days 9 and 11, with a tendency toward maximal response on gestation day 10. Significant incidences of axial skeletal defects were seen exclusively on gestation days 8 and 9. Exposure on gestation day 12 did not yield significant teratogenic responses. Cleft palate was the most sensitive teratogenic response, being the only developmental lesion associated to exposure to itraconazole at 150 mg kg b.w. 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Koyama, Division of Robotic Therapy, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka University, 2-2-G3 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan] - COMPUT. AIDED SURG. 2006 11 4 ; summ in ENGL Techniques for spherical osteotomy, such as rotational acetabular osteotomy, can help orthopaedic surgeons correct bony deformities and remove spherical acetabular components. Curved chisels are used during a spherical osteotomy, but they require skill and have a potential risk of damaging blood vessels or nerves. In order to perform a precise, quick and safe spherical osteotomy, we have developed a novel computer-assisted surgical tool using a vibrating bone saw, the Tuke Saw, with a curved blade that operates under the guidance of an optical navigation system. In this study, the accuracy and ease of use of this curved-bladed Tuke Saw in spherical osteotomy were examined in comparison with the conventional curved chisel. Using these surgical tools, hemispherical osteotomies were performed on rectangular parallelepiped Sawbones blocks and rotational acetabular osteotomies were performed on cadaveric pelves. The distance error with the curved-bladed Tuke Saw was significantly smaller than that with the curved chisel, and the procedure time with the Tuke Saw was approximately half that with the chisel. It can thus be concluded that the curved-bladed Tuke Saw is more accurate and easier to use than the conventional curved chisel. 2006 Informa UK Ltd. 500. Infection rate in closed fractures after internal fixations in a municipal hospital in Ghana - Saris C.G.J., Bastianen C.A., Mvan Swieten E.C.A. and Wegdam H.H.J. [Dr. H.H.J. Wegdam, P.O. Box 36, Techiman B A, Ghana] - TROP. DOCT. 2006 36 4 ; - summ in ENGL This prospective study conducted in the Holy Family Municipal Hospital in Techiman, Ghana aimed to determine the incidence of wound infection following internal fixation of closed fractures in a municipal hospital in a developing country. Between May 2000 and February 2005, 194 patients were treated for closed fractures, implanting a total of 215 internal fixations. Patients were reviewed 10, 30 and 120 days after operation. In 141 73% ; patients, a followup of four months was achieved. Of all patients, six developed an infection, two deep and four superficial. The cumulative incidence of wound infection after internal fixation was 3.3%. This study demonstrates that the incidence of wound infection following internal fixation is comparable with hospitals in a temperate climate in industrialized countries. We therefore conclude that specific tropical risk factors play a minimal role in the development of wound infection. 501.
