Monitoring Program, Active ; conducted a study of 11 pediatric centers in Canada. It found the case fatality rate for invasive pneumococcal disease for children less than two years of age was 2%.15 In the US, the ACIP recommends all infants under the age of two be vaccinated with Prevnar TM. The ACIP also recommends that all children 24 to 59 months of age be considered for vaccination. Priority is given to children at moderate risk of invasive pneumococcal disease such as children aged 24 to 35 months, children of certain minority groups, and children who attend out-of-home group childcare.8 The risk of invasive S. pneumoniae infection is greatly increased in children attending childcare centers.16 A point prevalence survey of 1322 children from 59 childcare centers in Toronto was carried out 1995-96 ; .16 On the day of the study, 44.3% of the children had nasopharyngeal carriage of S. pneumoniae. This is much higher than the carriage rate in children cared for at home and increases their risk of developing invasive disease. In the carriers, 17.0% of the pneumococcal isolates they were carrying were penicillin resistant, and 13.7% were resistant to multiple antibiotics.16 Disease caused by these resistant isolates may not respond to commonly used antibiotics. Although PrevnarTM offers protection against only seven serotypes of pneumococcus, this includes the majority of the antibiotic resistant serotypes collected from 1995 to 1998 in a large US study. 17 Therefore, it is possible that Prevnar TM will decrease the proportion of pneumococcal disease which is caused by antibiotic resistant pneumococci. PrevnarTM is not indicated for use in adults and does not provide a substitute for other pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines that are approved for adults and for children aged over two years who are at high risk of infection.5 It is not yet clear if Prevnar TM has any advantages over the polysaccharide vaccine in anyone over two years of age.

Information for Patients Physicians must instruct patients on the correct usage and dosing of Follistim AQ Cartridge follitropin beta injection ; in conjunction with the Follistim PenTM. Patients should read and follow all instructions in the Follistim PenTM Instructions for Use Manual Treatment Diary prior to administration of Follistim AQ Cartridge. Prior to treatment with Follistim AQ Cartridge, patients should be informed of the duration of treatment and monitoring procedures that will be required. The risks of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome and multiple births see WARNINGS ; , and other possible adverse reactions see ADVERSE REACTIONS ; should be discussed. Laboratory Tests In most instances, treatment with Follistim AQ Cartridge follitropin beta injection ; will result only in follicular growth and maturation. In order to complete the final phase of follicular maturation and to induce ovulation, hCG must be given following the administration of Follistim AQ Cartridge or when clinical assessment of the patient indicates that sufficient follicular maturation has occurred. This may be directly estimated by sonographic visualization of the ovaries and endometrial lining and or measuring serum estradiol levels. The combination of both ultrasonography and measurement of estradiol levels is useful for monitoring the growth and development of follicles, timing hCG administration, as well as minimizing the risk of OHSS and multiple gestations. The clinical evaluation of estrogenic activity changes in vaginal cytology, changes in appearance and volume of cervical mucus, spinnbarkeit, and ferning of the cervical mucus ; provides an indirect estimate of the estrogenic effect upon the target organs, and therefore, it should only be used adjunctively with more direct estimates of follicular development e.g., ultrasonography and serum estradiol determinations ; . The clinical confirmation of ovulation is obtained by direct and indirect indices of progesterone production. The indices most generally used are as follows: a ; A rise in basal body temperature b ; Increase in serum progesterone c ; Menstruation following the shift in basal body temperature When used in conjunction with indices of progesterone production, sonographic visualization of the ovaries will assist in determining if ovulation has occurred. Sonographic evidence of ovulation may include the following: a ; Fluid in the cul-de-sac b ; Follicle showing marked decrease in size c ; Collapsed follicle Drug Interactions No drug-drug interaction studies have been performed. Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Long-term toxicity studies in animals have not been performed with Follistim AQ Cartridge follitropin beta injection ; to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of the drug. Follistim follitropin beta for injection ; was not mutagenic in the Ames test using S. typhimurium and E. coli tester strains and did not produce chromosomal aberrations in an in vitro assay using human lymphocytes. Pregnancy Pregnancy Category X: See CONTRAINDICATIONS ; . Nursing Mothers It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the nursing infant from Follistim AQ Cartridge follitropin beta injection ; , a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. Geriatric Use Clinical studies did not include subjects aged 65 and over. ADVERSE REACTIONS Assisted Reproductive Technologies ART ; Rates of adverse events from an open-label, non-controlled, multicenter study in 60 women undergoing COH for IVF or ICSI with Follistim AQ Cartridge follitropin beta injection ; administered with the Follistim PenTM are summarized in table below.

All data were maintained in a database created with a computer program ACCESS; Microsoft, Redmond, Wash ; . A primary catheter failure rate was determined according to DOQI guidelines 1 ; . Primary and primary-assisted catheter patency were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier product limit method. The end point of primary patency was poor function resulting in catheter removal, over-the-wire catheter exchange, or intracatheter treatment with urokinase. The end point of primary-assisted patency was poor function resulting in catheter removal or over-thewire catheter exchange. Patient death, patient loss to follow-up, catheter removal secondary to availability of alternative access, catheter removal after improvement in renal function, and catheter removal secondary to infection were considered censoring events for both primary and primary-assisted patency. The rate of catheter removal secondary to malfunction was calculated as a function of catheter days and as a percentage of total catheters placed. Rates for total catheter infections and infections requiring catheter removal were determined. The mean time of infection with respect to the date of catheter placement was also calculated.
INTRODUCTION Aboriginal peoples include those of First Nations, Inuit and Mtis heritage. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an epidemic among Aboriginal peoples in Canada, with the national ageadjusted prevalence 3 to 5 times higher than that of the general population 1-3 ; , and individual communities with age-adjusted rates as high as 26% 4 ; . As in the general population, screening repeatedly uncovers previously undiagnosed cases of diabetes 4, 5 ; . These high rates of type 2 diabetes are causing increased rates of cardiovascular risk factors 6, 7 ; and cardiovascular disease CVD ; 3, 6, 8 ; , hypertension 1, 3 ; , peripheral vascular disease 9 ; and renal disease 1 ; , all of which are contributing to premature death 10 ; . In Manitoba, Canada, it is estimated that between the years 1996 and 2016, there will be a 10-fold increase in CVD, a 10-fold increase in lower extremity amputations and a 5-fold increase in blindness among Aboriginal peoples 11 ; . Other significant statistics include a younger average age of onset of diabetes 2 ; , type 2 diabetes in young children 12 ; and increased rates of gestational diabetes mellitus GDM ; 13 ; . The disease is considered to be indicative of the negative sociocultural changes occurring in Aboriginal communities. Genetic susceptibility and local genetic mutations are interacting with numerous social stressors and lifestyle changes 14, 15 ; . The replacement of traditional foods with highly refined foods and decreased rates of physical activity have resulted in high rates of obesity in adults 16 ; and children 17 ; . Other predisposing factors include a positive family history, or pregnancy complicated by frank diabetes or GDM which leads to increased incidence of diabetes in the offspring ; 18 ; . Early studies also suggested that bottle-feeding increases the risk of diabetes 19 ; . INTERVENTIONS Healthcare professionals and policymakers face major challenges in trying to provide Aboriginal peoples with diabetes with culturally appropriate and practical treatment. Diabetes cannot always be a priority for communities; geographical isolation, absence of healthcare providers, loss of traditional The initial draft of this chapter was prepared by Ann C.

19. The Chair noted that the document contained both an overview of the situation in various jurisdictions and an analysis of some of the horizontal issues that cut across this topic in general. The issue of new types of marks was likely to remain a topic of interest for trademark offices, as they seemed to be under pressure from two directions. Firstly from manufacturers, who wish to publicize their products and identify their brands and secondly from consumers, who would like to prevent free-riding or deceptional confusion. Although new types of marks were not the dominant signs applied for registration, they seemed to be important for those brand owners who used them nationally and wished to use them across markets. Therefore, it appeared that the Committee could work on developing common approaches for dealing with these new types of marks. 20. The Secretariat said that the new types of marks considered in document SCT 16 2 were grouped in two main categories, namely visible and non-visible signs. The listing was however not intended to be exhaustive. The section on cross-cutting issues included items that applied to all types of marks alike and that appeared to deserve some form of consideration. The annexes to the document contained a number of examples of these new types of marks which had been provided by Members of the SCT on an ad hoc basis. 21. The Delegation of Switzerland recalled that at the fifteenth session of the SCT it had proposed that the Committee discuss new types of marks and, in particular, color, shape and olfactory marks. The Delegation noted that discussions which took place during the Diplomatic Conference for the adoption of the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks, as well as document SCT 16 2, had allowed it to have a better understanding of the issue and in particular, to understand the specific national practices with regard to the registration of new types of marks. In that context, the Delegation believed that two issues could be considered by the SCT, firstly, the harmonization of criteria for the registration of these marks, and whether an office that accepts for registration new types of marks could apply to them by analogy the same criteria it applied to traditional marks. Secondly, the harmonization of modalities for registration, in particular what would be considered an appropriate representation of the sign. The Delegation considered that a discussion on new types of marks was timely and would help identify new developments in commercial and pegasys.

Recover faster from repeated NMDA applications than normalappearing pyramidal neurons from CD and non-CD tissue. In conclusion, lack of NR2B subunits in cells from CD tissue may result in cells with a reduced conductance in response to NMDA, hence the reduced current density, and also in receptors that recover faster from desensitization. Finally, an intriguing outcome of a reduction of NR2B subunits is the possibility of alterations in cortical synaptogenesis. In effect, NR2B subunits are instrumental in NMDA receptors targeting and clustering around nascent glutamatergic synapses Mohrmann et al., 2002 ; . This subunit is normally found in the cerebral cortex before birth Ritter et al., 2001 ; and NR1 NR2B receptors are probably the first glutamate receptors expressed at functionally immature synapses Tovar and Westbrook, 1999 ; . Lack of this subunit could disrupt synaptogenesis and proper cellular connectivity. Further, neuronal migration is modulated by NMDA receptors Komuro and Rakic, 1993 ; . It is tempting to speculate that cortical abnormalities such as the presence of cytomegalic neurons after birth in severe CD is caused by altered interneuronal signaling, probably associated with the lack of NR2B subunits. Implications for Epileptogenesis in CD Tissue The present work is the first electrophysiological and morphological study that has examined NMDA currents in dissociated normal-appearing and cytomegalic neurons from pediatric CD. We demonstrate that some cytomegalic neurons and a proportion of normal-appearing neurons from CD tissue samples containing cytomegalic cells are less sensitive to Mg2 + blockade and have NMDA receptors with abnormal subunit composition. Reduced Mg2 + sensitivity indicates that the NMDA receptor can be activated by glutamate at relatively hyperpolarized membrane potentials. Animal studies have demonstrated that neurons have a higher probability to fire action potentials in low Mg2 + concentrations, even in non-epileptogenic networks Jones and Lambert, 1990; Whittington et al., 1995; Quilichini et al., 2002 ; . In vivo, audiogenic seizures can be induced in Mg2 + -deficient mice and hippocampal neurons from kindled rats show decreased Mg2 + sensitivity Bac et al., 1993; Kohr et al., 1993 ; . Other studies have shown reduced voltage dependence and Mg2 + sensitivity in immature neurons Ben-Ari et al., 1988; Morrisett et al., 1990 ; . The fact that most cytomegalic neurons have reduced Mg2 + sensitivity suggests preservation of some electrophysiological immature features in these abnormal cells. This alteration may be relevant in the pathophysiology of infantile spasms Avanzini et al., 2002 ; . In conclusion, a proportion of cytomegalic and normalappearing pyramidal neurons in CD tissue may have intrinsic capabilities to induce NMDA currents at relatively hyperpolarized membrane potentials. Although the current density is reduced, because of their large size, the overall electrophysiological output of cytomegalic neurons may be increased. This, in conjunction with our previous findings demonstrating larger Ca2 + currents and influx in cytomegalic neurons Cepeda et al., 2003 ; , could help us understand altered neuronal excitability in CD.

Discussion CCG 2891 represents the largest prospective series of pediatric patients with AML who underwent allogeneic BMT in first remission. Outcomes presented here were based on patients who received induction therapy and preparative therapy according to protocol, instead of based on the results of randomization intent to treat ; . This allowed a more accurate estimation of toxicities and severity of acute and chronic GVHD since the data reflects outcomes in patients who received induction therapy and underwent BMT according to protocol.
General Certain components used in the packaging of this product contain natural rubber latex. Identification of the clotting defect as a Factor VIII deficiency is essential before the administration of RECOMBINATE [Antihemophilic Factor Recombinant ; ] is initiated. No benefit may be expected from this product in treating other deficiencies. The formation of neutralizing antibodies, inhibitors to Factor VIII, is a known complication in the management of individuals with hemophilia A. The reported prevalence of these antibodies in patients receiving plasma-derived Factor VIII is 10-20%.3-7, 10-12 These inhibitors are invariably IgG immunoglobulins, the Factor VIII procoagulant inhibitory activity of which is expressed as Bethesda Units B.U. ; per mL of plasma or serum.3-7 Over the investigational period, none of the 69 previously treated individuals, without an inhibitor at entry into the study, developed an inhibitor. In the previously untreated patient group there were 73 eligible patients with Factor VIII levels less than or equal to 2% who received at least one RECOMBINATE treatment median days 100, range 3-821 ; and who were tested for an inhibitor after treatment with RECOMBINATE. Of this group, 23 individuals developed a detectable inhibitor median days 10, range 3-69 ; and of these, 8 patients showed a titer greater than 10 B.U. Patients treated with Factor VIII should be carefully monitored for the development of antibodies to Factor VIII by appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests. Formation of Antibodies to Mouse, Hamster or Bovine protein As RECOMBINATE contains trace amounts of mouse protein maximum of 0.1 ng IU RECOMBINATE ; , hamster protein maximum of 1.5 ng CHO protein IU RECOMBINATE ; , and bovine protein maximum of 1 ng BSA IU RECOMBINATE ; , the remote possibility exists that patients treated with this product may develop hypersensitivity to these non-human mammalian proteins. Information for patients The patient and physician should discuss the risks and benefits of this product. Allergic type hypersensitivity reactions have been observed with RECOMBINATE. Patients should be informed of the early signs of hypersensitivity reactions including hives, generalized urticaria, tightness of the chest, wheezing, hypotension, and anaphylaxis. Patients should be advised to discontinue use of the product and contact their physician if these symptoms occur. Laboratory Tests Although dosage can be estimated by the calculations that follow, it is strongly recommended that whenever possible, appropriate laboratory tests be performed on the patient's plasma at suitable intervals to assure that adequate Factor VIII levels have been reached and are maintained. If the patient's plasma Factor VIII fails to reach expected levels or if bleeding is not controlled after adequate dosage, the presence of inhibitor should be suspected. By performing appropriate laboratory procedures, the presence of an inhibitor can be demonstrated and quantified in terms of Factor VIII International Units neutralized by each mL of plasma or by the total estimated plasma volume. If the inhibitor is present at levels less than 10 Bethesda Units per mL, administration of additional Factor VIII may neutralize the inhibitor. Thereafter, the administration of additional Factor VIII International Units should elicit the predicted response. The control of Factor VIII levels by laboratory assay is necessary in this situation. Inhibitor titers above 10 Bethesda Units per mL may make hemostasis control with Factor VIII either impossible or impractical because of the very large dose required. In addition, the inhibitor titer may rise following Factor VIII infusion because of an anamnestic response to the Factor VIII antigen. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility RECOMBINATE was tested for mutagenicity at doses considerably exceeding plasma concentrations of Factor VIII in vitro and at doses up to ten times the expected maximum clinical dose in vivo, and did not cause reverse mutations, chromosomal aberrations, or an increase in micronuclei in bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes. Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential. pediatric Use RECOMBINATE is appropriate for use in children of all ages, including the newborn. Safety and efficacy studies have been performed in both previously treated n 23 ; and previously untreated n 75 ; children. See Clinical pharmacology and precautions. ; pregnancy Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with RECOMBINATE. It is not known whether RECOMBINATE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. RECOMBINATE should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed and pemoline.
