CVTC's new center brings in scarce resources for underserved ......ba href=/anxiety/a/b. “In a larger sense, it brings a clinic in our hometown. It is something for a lot more families than Alisha. There’s been a need.” CVTC is a state residential program for about 550 people with mental retardation. The regional center is a new program that puts the institution in the role of using its resources to help people who don’t live in institutions. Its addition to the CVTC campus is part of a state plan to use training centers as outreach sites to the community, bringing in scarce resources for underserved medical needs. For example, Alisha was seen Tuesday by a pediatric neurologist, a specialty not available in Lynchburg. The Community Support Center plans began in July and now include services in dentistry, psychiatry and the newest - pediatric neurology. “It seems like it’s working real well,” said Denise Micheletti, CVTC director. According to data maintained by Denise Forbes who coordinates the program, 46 people were treated in the dental program, 15 in the psychiatry clinic, and 19 in the new once-a-month neurology clinic. Some have come from as far away as Harrisonburg, Danville and Roanoke. Tuesday’s pediatric neurological clinic was the second held, and 12 of the patients were from the February waiting list, said Forbes. CVTC and the University of Virginia department of neurology’s Dr. Robert Rust and Dr. William Taft were able to work out an agreement for the Community Support Center. Taft said ... GlaxoSmithKline settles Paxil suit; reports Advair mortality ......ba href=/anxiety/a/b and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon said, "GSK used the courts to hold onto a monopoly for a popular drug, and the end result was that consumers, including Medicaid, paid more than they should have."On a separate note, GlaxoSmithKline said the 6,100-patient TORCH study for Advair exhibited a 17% relative reduction in mortality over three years in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as compared to a placebo. The mortality benefit fell marginally short, however, of statistical significance, which means that the benefit could have been due to chance.In a research note published on Wednesday, analyst Mark Purcell of Deutsche Bank downgraded GlaxoSmithKline from "buy" to "hold." The target price was reduced from £16.90 to £16.50. The analyst mentioned that there is uncertainty surrounding whether Advair would be granted a COPD mortality claim. GlaxoSmithKline’s medium-term growth prospects are modest, with an expected EPS CAGR of 7% in 2006-2010, as compared to 10% for the sector, Deutsche Bank said.

Military Families Stressed, Anxious, Report Concludes...ba href=/anxiety/a/b, fatigue and stress, and in many cases are just as concerned about a service member's homecoming as their safety in combat, according to a survey conducted by the National Military Family Association. "The welfare of military families is vital to the readiness of our military forces," said Doug Burke, chief executive officer of Defense Web Technologies, a defense contractor that attempts to provide information to military families and co-sponsored Tuesday's event on Capitol Hill. Burke also referred to himself as a former Air Force brat. Susan Evers of the National Military Family Association (NMFA), the group that surveyed 1,592 families nationwide, noted that "the military has set the expectation that our (armed) services are family friendly." "That expectation needs to mesh with reality," she said. Evers added that less than half of the respondents said government support was available throughout the deployment process, with 17 percent saying no support was available to them. Two thirds of the respondents said they often had a difficult time communicating with the unit to which their loved ones serving in the military had been assigned. "Many" of the families, according to the survey results, complained that frequent and long deployments "take a toll on service members' families" as do the long hours that the service members work once they return home. "The pace makes reintegration very difficult," said Evers. She compared the routine to a spiral, saying that whi... 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 | 59 | 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 75 | 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 | 81 | 82 | 83 | 84 | 85 | 86 | 87 | 88 | 89 | 90 | 91 | 92 | 93 | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | All news |
