NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who take a certain type of diabetes drug to lower blood sugar levels may be at an increased risk of developing an inflamed pancreas, according to a new study. Glucagonlike peptide 1(GLP-1) therapies that include exenatide - marketed as Byetta by an alliance between Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca - and sitagliptin - marketed as Januvia by Merck - have been linked to pancreatitis before in studies on animals and small groups of patients, said the study's lead author. "New therapies and risks are only evaluated when studies are done. We need to know (the drugs) are effective in lowering blood sugar, but we also need to know about risks," said Dr. Sonal Singh, from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. Pancreatitis, which can cause life-threatening complications, is rare but more common in people with type 2 diabetes. Singh said pancreatitis occurs in about three of every 1,000 diabetes patients. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are about 19 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes, and another 7 million who have the disease but don't know it yet. In people with type 2 diabetes, the body doesn't produce … Continue reading →

RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb 28, 2013) - London Drugs is proud to be the first in Canada to offer our patients and customers a non-invasive preview into their cholesterol history and health through PreVu - a simple skin cholesterol test. The PreVu test measures the cholesterol found on the bodies'' largest organ, the skin, where cholesterol is accumulated with age. The test is conducted on the palm of the hand in less than five minutes, involves no blood draw, needles or fasting with results available immediately. "We have reviewed the clinical research using this screening technology and have listened to our pharmacists and customers about whether this test would assist in one''s overall health management," said John Tse, London Drugs vice president, pharmacy. "What we learned is that PreVu can assist to either put a patient''s mind at ease if they score low on the skin cholesterol scale or if scoring high, the patient needs to see their doctor to have a blood cholesterol test and further risk assessment conducted." While skin cholesterol isn''t the same as blood cholesterol, it provides valuable information when assessing risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart disease. In October 2012, London Drugs … Continue reading →

(Reuters) - Food and Drug Administration staff said experimental drugs by Depomed Inc and Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co Inc showed efficacy in reducing menopausal hot flashes, and highlighted no new risks in comments issued on Thursday. Depomed's shares rose 8 percent on optimism that its drug, which failed to meet pre-defined efficacy goals in studies, may still be approved to address an estimated $1.5 billion market. Depomed's Sefelsa was effective in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes related to menopause after four weeks of treatment in studies, but results varied after 12 weeks of treatment, FDA staff observed in a report posted online on Thursday. (http://r.reuters.com/jyx36t) Japanese drugmaker Hisamitsu's paroxetine mesylate capsules was shown to be more consistent at reducing the incidence of the condition than at reducing the severity of flashes. (http://r.reuters.com/fab46t) Both drugs are vying to become the first approved, non-hormonal drug to treat menopausal hot flashes. Most women going through menopause experience these flashes, a complex set of feelings that start with warmth and redness, accompanied by sweating, palpitations and anxiety that typically lasts several minutes. About 13 million of nearly 32 million women who experience hot flashes during menopause seek treatment in the United States, … Continue reading →

After a while, I found out, how to change the shaders that they work like "real" shaders (eg when a object is rotated, the surface modelled by the shader must also rotate.) If someone is interrested I've published the sources here: code.google.com This is a "under development" code. The shaders I used in the video can be found here: code.google.com (Don't be confused of the naming in the video, I used some names wrong...., sorry) Best parts in the second part of the video Here,sa full list of all scenes: 0:00 the twist, different setups and textures 2:07 first testrun of deform (the fullscreen version) 2:31 deform in a washing maschine 3:03 defrom (wash the raspberry logo) 3:34 new deform setup with the raspberry logo (My wife called it fireworks) 4:10 same with coffee as texture (looks more than a solar fire) 4:33 shader twist, with sphere and coffee texture 4:50 solar fire fullscreen (shader deform) 5:51 raspi firework fullscreen (shader deform) 7:36 dyn radial blur, (has … Continue reading →
