Financial incentives may influence frequency of cataract surgery in Medicare and VA health system

Patients seen at private facilities reimbursed by Medicare were more than 550 percent more likely to have routine cataract surgery than those who received their care from the Department of Veterans Affairs, a strong indication that the frequency of cataract surgery may be responsive to financial incentives to either or both the medical facility and the physicians who perform the procedure.

Angiotech reaches agreement with Consenting Noteholders to extend deadlines under Recapitalization Support

Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced that it has reached an agreement (the "Second Extension Agreement") with the holders (the "Consenting Noteholders") of a majority of the outstanding 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Subordinated Notes") to extend certain deadlines outlined in the previously announced Recapitalization Support Agreement dated October 29, 2010 and amended on November 29, 2010 (as amended, the "Support Agreement").

New compound reverses major symptoms associated with FXS

A recent study finds that a new compound reverses many of the major symptoms associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common form of inherited intellectual disability and a leading cause of autism. The paper, published by Cell Press in the April 12 issue of the journal Neuron, describes the exciting observation that the FXS correction can occur in adult mice, after the symptoms of the condition have already been established.

Study demonstrates possibility of curing hepatitis C without use of interferon

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company today announced the full results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, from a Phase II clinical trial in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 who had not responded to prior therapy with PEG-interferon alfa and ribavirin ('null responders').

Researchers reveal ambivalent role of CXCL12/CXCR4 molecule in myocardial infarction

The chemokine CXCL12 acts as a chemical signal which mobilizes hematopoietic and other types of stem cells to leave the bone marrow and enter the circulation. Secretion of CXCL12 also guides these cells to sites at which the perfusion of tissue is sub-optimal due to localized obstruction of blood flow. These capabilities have made CXCL12 and its cognate receptor CXCR4 interesting candidates for therapies aimed at mitigating the effects of damage to the heart caused by myocardial infarction.
