Description: Jack Valenti, a Texan who was credited with giving the motion picture industry a Victorian voice and a modern outlook during his nearly 40 years as head of the Motion Picture Association of America, died Thursday at age 85 after suffering a stroke a month earlier that had left him in a comatose state. Valenti, a former presidential aide to Lyndon Johnson, became head of the MPAA in 1966 and continued to lead the group until 2004. He was regarded as the father of the motion picture ratings system and defended it with gusto throughout his tenure.

502. Herbal Medicine Used for Chinese Stroke Patients Lacks Strong Evidence

Description: The herbal medicine Dan Shen, a standard treatment for ischemic stroke in China, lacks strong scientific evidence to support such use, according a new review of studies. Nevertheless, based on the available data, Dan Shen treatment showed a tendency to improve short-term neurological deficits in stroke patients, say researchers at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China. However, the short-term result �should be interpreted cautiously because of the poor methodological quality of included trials and the small numbers of patients,� said review co-author and neurology professor Ming Liu.

Description: intervention for ischemic stroke From our ANI Correspondent Washington, Apr. 14: A recent study has maintained that intravenous delivery of clot-busting drug is the best intervention for ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke, is caused by a clot that blocks blood flow in an artery to the brain. The study was conducted by a research panel at American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. As part of the study, researchers focussed on the crucial first hours from the time an ischemic stroke occurs through emergency evaluation and treatment in a hospital. "We are pushing for the fastest possible treatment because 'time is brain.' For every minute that goes by, the likelihood of a poorer outcome increases," Harold P. Adams, Jr., M.D., chairman of the writing group said. Researchers found that TPA, the clot-busting drug remains the most beneficial proven intervention for ischemic stroke and issued certain guidelines to be followed at the time of stroke ;The Guidelines for the Early Management of Adults with Ischemic Stroke.

506. New clot drugs beckon as replacements for warfarin
http://moneycentral.msn.com/inc/news/providerredir.asp?feed=OBR&Date=20070413&ID=6743532

2007-04-13 12:03:50
Description: NEW YORK (Reuters) - A new crop of medicines to prevent stroke and blood clots could emerge within several years, easing dangers and hardships for patients and creating blockbuster sales for drugmakers. The oral drugs could prove better and safer than injectable medicines such as heparin now widely used to cut the risk of dangerous blood clots in the legs and lungs after major surgery. But makers of the new drugs say their biggest use would be as an alternative to warfarin, a pill used for decades by people with atrial fibrillation -- or irregular heartbeat -- to prevent strokes. An estimated two million Americans have been diagnosed with the heartbeat problem and the number is expected to double in the next 20 years. Warfarin, sold by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY.N: Quote, Profile, Research) under the brand name Coumadin but now widely available as a generic, is notoriously difficult to tolerate because of its interactions with food and other medicines.

Description: FDA panel frowns on Vioxx successor 12/4/2007 22:49 London Time | story 1541 WASHINGTON (AP) - A painkiller proposed as a successor to Vioxx should not be approved, a panel of federal health advisers overwhelmingly recommended Thursday. The nonbinding 20-1 vote was on the prescription drug Arcoxia, made by Merck & Co., Inc. A Food and Drug Administration drug safety expert had told the panel the drug may increase substantially the risk of stroke and heart attack and is no more effective for pain relief than other medicines in the same class. "What you''re talking about is a potential public health disaster," Dr. David Graham told the outside experts before the vote. Graham was a leading critic of Vioxx, a related drug also known as rofecoxib.

Description: World Health Organization Forum Endorses Salt Reduction (April 10, 2007)-- A committee convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) has published a report endorsing population-wide strategies to reduce salt consumption as a cost-effective means of lowering blood pressure; thus preventing heart disease, stroke, and other serious health problems. The report urges governments around the world to reduce average sodium consumption to 2,000 milligrams per day, about half of what Americans consume now. The report stated that �if the agreed goals are not met in a timely way, regulatory approaches should be initiated and enforced. This point may have already been reached in countries where for years voluntary approaches have proved ineffective.�
