Will Ohio have CAUV changes by 2016?
While he stopped short of a full endorsement, Ohio Tax Commissioner Joe Testa this week said the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation's recommendations to modernize the state's Current Agricultural Use Value, or CAUV, property tax formula have a good deal of merit.
Why fewer U.S. cows means higher costs for leather bags
Beef lovers aren't the only ones with sticker shock from the shrinking U.S. cattle herd. Fewer cows also mean tighter supply of hides used in luxury-car upholstery, handbags, shoes and dog collars.
Why Animal Welfare 'FARM' Audits Had to Be Made Mandatory
Last month, the National Milk Producers Federation Board of Directors voted that participation be made mandatory, with a compliance date of Dec. 31, 2016. Farms will now have to have a FARM audit done once every three years.

Utica Shale helps family save Carroll County farm, transforms rural Ohio
Carroll County — southeast of Canton and about an hour's drive from Akron — remains the No. 1 drilling hot spot in Ohio with 282 wells that are producing, another 83 that have been drilled, 13 that are being drilled and 62 more that have been permitted. Those 440 Utica wells surpass the total for any other Ohio county, and that number could reach 2,000 before the boom ends.
USDA: Corn, soybean harvest nearing its end
Corn and soybean harvest officially entered the homestretch in the last few days -- for many, not quite as soon as they'd prefer on account of the blast winter temperatures and precipitation over the weekend -- and it's likely to wrap up given one more small weather window, farmers and analysts say.

The Farm Budget Blowout That Could Cost Taxpayers Billions
The farm bill's new programs were meant to cost the taxpayer less by replacing a nearly two-decade-old scheme of direct cash payments to farmers, which were about $5 billion a year and were made regardless of need.
Shipping delays pile on more harvesting woes
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports the number of railcars hauling grain is up from last year by 15 percent, but some grain elevators say otherwise. Some have speculated the oil and gas industry is to blame for some of the backlog, which has increased by 13 percent since 2013.

Homegrown By Heroes: Growing support for veteran farmers
When Dawn and Lee Lichtenwalner left Las Vegas in 2008 to take up permanent residence at their 11-acre Leetonia, Ohio, vacation property, turning it into a full-time farming operation was not part of the plan.

Red shirt ground skill
I got to Captain 5 the other day and got that skill where you can beam down 2 red shirts to protect you.
I`ve noticed that when you are in an open instance team and you do an away mission, when you beam down your red shirts, they go protect the "leader" of the team, or the first dood in or whatever the reason.
Is this another bug? Those guys are supposed to be protecting me.
I dont mind too much because most of the time you dont need them anyway. But I still thought it is a bit of a cheek

Marvin Gaye, born Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., was an American singer-songwriter and musician. Gaye helped to shape the sound of Motown Records in the 1960s with a string of hits including "How Sweet It Is" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and duet recordings with Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell, later earning the titles "Prince of Motown" and "Prince of Soul". During the 1970s, Gaye recorded the concept albums What's Going On and Let's Get It On and became among the first artists in Motown to break away from the reins of its production company. Gaye's later recordings influenced several R&B subgenres such as quiet storm and neo-soul.Following a period in Europe as a tax exile in the early 1980s, Gaye released the 1982 Grammy Award-winning hit "Sexual Healing" and the Midnight Love album. Since his death in 1984, Gaye has been posthumously honored by many institutions, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

About Tim Bumpus (twitter: @theBumpus)
Sixteen-year-old Christian trying to be a storyteller and a game developer. I'm here to make my dreams become reality.

What Has Become of Puzzlem00n?
Good question, title. Well, here are my goals so far as to what I'm going to do next.
This is basically all I've been doing lately around here. So far I'm at 47. My goal is to reach 100 so I can get a gold medal of coolness. I would be a lot farther along, but I started rating a bit late, and I don't always have time, blah blah blah, excuses excuses, ect. So yeah, maybe I'll make another post of my favorites later on.
I see a lot of people around continuing development on their games to turn them into a full release. I have to say that my game, Empty, will not have it's development continued directly. It's far to glitchy to build upon, it's sort of annoying to play, and I don't think I can do much more to it's current engine to make a better game. What may occur in the future is that the game's core mechanic ideas will be taken, balanced out into a more full game design, and then completely rebuilt from the ground up. I am really much more attached to the idea of the game then the game itself, so I feel this is the next logical step.
To be honest, I feel that I can barely say I have a career at all. I know this sounds like I'm being down on myself, but trust me, I'm not. Empty, to me, does not feel enough like a game to me for me to call myself a game developer. If I wanted to, I could probably call myself one and get away with it, but I don't want to lie to myself. There's nothing anyone can say to change my mind on this. I will not be a developer until I feel I can truly call myself one. And when will that be? When I make a game that feels like me.
I'm definitely going to start a blog up soon to post my games on and just write (I'm sort of into writing). I'm also going to do the next MiniLD, and all the ones after if I can. So0n, hopefully I'll have a game that I can be proud of.
I suppose that sums everything up. Well, back to rating!
My Favorites
Hey, everybody, I've seen quite a few people reviewing games, and I figured, hey, why not? Here's a list of the best games I've played:
Tiny Religion- A game where you're in charge of a civilization that needs to find out how to please their picky god. The tasks he likes and doesn't like is different each time. It's pretty sweet.
Extensionism- Probably the moodiest game I've played. It's got some glitches, but not as many as mine, that's for sure. You have to move the lamp like things to expand your world and shrink those of others. It's kind of evil sounding now that I'm writing it…
Disregard All Humans- Short, but fun. Who hasn't wanted to possess control of an ever-growing, jumping lizard?
Nina Nueve- Very innovative. Involves mechanics where losing brings you back a level, which you sometimes need to do to go forward. Leave it to Jonathan Whiting, am I right?
T in Y World- Anyone seen this? Epic ASCII game where rules can be edited in the level design.
Petri- A game where you star some bacteria thingy… It needs some ratings, it's actually quite interesting.
Tiny Civilization- One of the only simulation games that doesn't bore me to death. Very immersive.
Aether- My favorite thusfar, very nice game that seamlessly intertwines a missile shooting game and a platformer. The graphics are nice, and it feels really balanced.
Well, that's that. Back to playing!
A Quick Post-Mortem
I wasn't going to do one, but I've decided to write a short little thing on it. My game was titled Empty, and it's bugs make it impossible to beat, but it's got some good stuff going on.
The idea I first had was a man inside a small screen that could only jump around in his world. It would be mainly story based, about how pointless it is to be alone with no one to share your ideas. After going a bit less than a day working on that, I realized it needed something more. My first idea was to transform the whole game into a scrolling world, where you started in the window I created, but then escaped against the will of your creator. I started working in Tiled, but after a while, I realized I had no idea what I was doing, and I liked my old story idea much better. So, I went back to that. I realized it needed puzzles, something else to illustrate how worthless it all was. I really wanted something that felt like the puzzles in Jonathan Whiting's Craequ. I didn't have time to come up with something cool like that, though, so I decided to go with something already invented: the sliding puzzle. It seemed like a great idea, where the man could reflect on how pointless his purpose is. Plus, the puzzles could be made harder through the fact the blocks aren't always reachable, giving it a nice fresh feel, or at least that's what I'd hoped. You can be the judge of that.
- The mechanic idea was pretty sweet, I think. Puzzle Platformers can be the gateway to loads of awesomeness. My idea of sliding puzzles controlled by jumping was pretty original (as far as I know) and it worked pretty well. It could have had some more smooth transitions to it, but hey, this is the pros section.
- The graphics were pretty nice by my standards, to. The noise effect was something I accidentally discovered during the competition in paint.net that I thought just completed the feel of emptiness. The title screen was cool looking, if I do say so myself. I do wish I had time to give the player a human look with full animations, but the square ended up kind of complementing the aesthetic I had going on, so it was cool.
- The music was something I can't believe worked out so well, but it did. I wanted to compose something original, but by the time I got around to it, their was an hour left, so I simply generated something in Otomata. It ended up really complementing the puzzley thing, and despite being repetitive, it was not very obtrusive and does not get too annoying.
- The game probably should have the option to, you know, win…
- For a game inspired by story, the story could have been much, much better. I should have found a better way to convey the feelings of your character, but the length of the screen limited the length of the messages, and thus, I had to hope for a kind of "narrative subtlety" feel. Yeah… didn't work.
- The collision detection is scrapped together terribly. It's possible to get inside blocks in more ways than I can count. This wouldn't have been as hard if I could make the blocks tween from place to place, but yeah…
- The controls were kind of annoying in the end. The sometimes impossibility of moving the inside block turned from an interesting twist to an annoying limitation. Plus, the clinging on the walls was slightly awkward, and the middle of the character had to be touching the block for the move to register. Very annoying.
- Finally, the game had an awful interest to hardness ratio. It was all difficulty, with no learning curve at all. There was nothing to convince people to play more.
Well, I learned a lot this LD, and I look forward to the next time I can show you all what I can do!
Fixed My Unplayable Game
Hey, guys, I decided to take a couple of hours to fix the typo in my game that made it impossible to beat. Of course, this opened the gateway to discovering more and more glitches, and eventually, I realized the whole thing was severely messed up. So, I suppose I'm saying that you shouldn't even consider rating it based off of the Post-Compo version because it's got lots and lots of fixes. Of course, you probably weren't going to anyway.
Changes Include: That one Typo Fix, Detecting Wins Works Correctly, Messages appear in the right order, Game Quits At the End, And (for testing purposes) Secret Skip Level Button Added.
So yeah, basically, this LD was a failure for me. Oh, well. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=11003
I'm Sorry, I Thought We Were All Making Impossible Torture Machines
Hey, turns out, the first level of my game is unsolvable.
It's true, though. I ran it through an 8 puzzle solver and found out there was no solution. I just made one typo, apparently, that broke the entire thing apart.
If I could, I would fix it, but it's too late for that. Basically, the game can not be beaten in it's current state. I apologize for wasting anyone's time (although not many people have played it, anyway.) It's ridiculous that just mixing up two numbers in an array can cause this. I could plead for a special competition exemption to fix it, but I don't see the point. So, go check out my game, and face off with the odds (0:1) by trying to beat it! I mean, hey, Chuck Norris can! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=11003
P.s. If anyone right now is thinking about giving me an "Epic Fail" award for this, you have my approval.
Mistake #2: Submitting My Entry
I'm kidding, no mistake, I'm actually quite proud of myself. You know, other than the fact I haven't even beat it…
There you go. All the info's on the page.
End Of Day 1
Okay, I am waaaaay behind schedule, but I don't really care. I'll finish it tomorrow for sure, I just may have to cut some things.
Aside from today's forum post dilemma which I've been trying to make up for, today also made me realize doing a timelapse was not in my interest, because A: it makes me kind of nervous and B: I don't feel like it. Also, three hours today ended up being scrapped when I changed my mind on whether or not to use a scrolling tiled map. Ah, well, the damage is done.
I'm not very good at this thing, am I? To bask in my failure (needs love.exe to run):
Mistake #1: Turning the Internet Against You Through Terrible Wording
All right, so, my game is now called "Empty." It's about you, just a single physical being, who has just been conceived, along with your static 125×125 universe. You long for a purpose in the empty place, when you discover the puzzles…
At A Crossroads
Right now, I have two different ideas, and two different games that I have in my files. (One of them is a backup copy of the engine before I thought of my second idea.) They both involve a small screen, but one has a scrolling world and the other a static one. I can't decide which I like better. I know that I'll end up submitting something, though, because both concepts are very basic. I just have to pick one.
I know it's probably already been conceived, but I'm definitely doing a game within a small window. Why? Because it makes my job much easier in the art category, for one, and for two, I think I can put some nice twists on it.
More to come.
Alright, Let's Get it On!
I just wanted to make sure my hastily written personal library was posted so I could use it. It includes the advanced tiled loader by Kadoba.
As of now, my tools are…
PROGRAMMING- Love2D
ART- Pickle, Paint.net, PyxelEdit
SOUND- Musagi, SFXR, Aria Maestosa, Otomata
TIMELAPSE- Chronolapse
TILING- Tiled, Advanced Tiled Loader
I'm not very good with tiled, but we'll see.

Obama considering new housing and budget leaders
Shuffling his second-term Cabinet, President Barack Obama plans to nominate Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan to be budget director and is considering San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to succeed Donovan, according to people familiar with the selection process.
Associated Press
Shuffling his second-term Cabinet, President Barack Obama plans to nominate Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan to be budget director and is considering San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to succeed Donovan, according to people familiar with the selection process.
The moves would raise the profile of two men with close ties to the president.
Donovan is an original member of Obama's Cabinet and is well-liked within the White House, where officials have lauded his work overseeing the government's response to Hurricane Sandy.
As budget director, he would have significant influence over the administration's policy and spending priorities.
Castro's star has been on the rise since Obama picked him to deliver the keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. The 39-year-old Castro is considered a possible vice presidential pick in 2016.
If Castro is nominated to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development and is confirmed by the Senate, he would become one of the highest-ranking Hispanic officials in the Obama administration.
A person familiar with the selection process said Donovan has been offered the budget director job and has accepted. A person with knowledge of Castro's vetting said the mayor has expressed interest in the housing job and plans to accept if it is offered following a formal screening process.
Both people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation ahead of an official announcement from the White House. The White House said Saturday that it had no personnel announcements to make.
Obama has previously tried to offer Castro a Cabinet post, but the mayor decided to stay in San Antonio and handily won a third term last year.
"This was a job I really did look forward to growing up, when I thought about politics," Castro said in 2011. "So I'm not in a hurry to leave."
Still, Castro and his brother have become popular figures on the Democratic fundraising circuit. Julian Castro in particular is seen as a possible running mate in 2016 for a party that has staked its success in presidential elections in part on winning broad support from Hispanics.
Serving in Obama's Cabinet would help broaden Castro's experience beyond local politics.
HUD plays a key role in the "Promise Zone" initiative, a federal effort to revitalize high-poverty communities by increasing economic activity, improving educational opportunities and leveraging private capital. San Antonio was among the first cities that received a grant for the program from the administration.
Donovan has overseen the department throughout Obama's presidency. The 48-year-old is seen by Obama advisers as a strong manager and was tapped in 2012 to oversee the administration's response efforts after Sandy battered the East Coast.
"In the aftermath of Sandy, when we thought about who was somebody who we had confidence could drive a process to make sure that the federal, state and local coordination delivered for the people who had been affected, and that we could rebuild both on the New York side and the Jersey side as effectively as possible and as quickly as possible, Shaun came to mind," Obama said Wednesday during a fundraiser in New York that Donovan also attended.
The director of the Office of Management and Budget is a Cabinet-level post under Obama. Those who have held the job earlier in the administration, including current Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, have played crucial roles in setting budget priorities and negotiating fiscal agreements with Congress.
If confirmed by the Senate, Donovan would take over from Sylvia Mathews Burwell, who was nominated to lead Department of Health and Human Services after Kathleen Sebelius resigned this year.
Schmall reported from Fort Worth, Texas.

In a message released today, 24 March 2009, on the occasion of World TB Day, Dr. Luis Sambo, Regional Director of the World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa has called for the "rigorous implementation of the STOP TB Strategy, including universal coverage with DOTS (the Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course)" in order to significantly improve case detection and treatment outcomes.
He said that the most important element of DOTS is a regimen consisting of a combination of first-line drugs taken, ideally, under direct observation of a health care worker. The combination is known to be very effective against active drug-susceptible TB as long as patients are compliant and complete the entire six-to-eight month course.
"We must endeavour to put every single patient on quality TB Treatment and strive to minimize patient transfers, defaults and deaths", the Regional Director said.

Cape Town, 24 Mar 2009 - Hospitalising patients suffering from Multiple Drug Resistant (MDR) and Extremely Drug Resistant (XDR) TB in order to isolate them from their crowded communities has often proved disastrous in South Africa.
Bored, depressed and ravaged by the treatment, which causes daily nausea and leaves 20 percent deaf, patients escape from the hospitals and abandon treatment, which encourages drug-resistance in the disease.
Floating above the top of the white mask stretching across her face, Lydia Pinzie's dark brown eyes are spirited and alert, despite nearly three years on toxic tuberculosis treatment.
Some white, some grubby, some askew, some comically large over the faces of toddlers; the sea of masks in the waiting room at a South African TB clinic harbour an often deadly drug resistant form of the virus.
SITEKI, 24 March 2009 (PLUSNEWS) - Kwanele Dlamini's motorbike can carry him to most rural homesteads in the eastern Lubombo Region of Swaziland, but he has to get off and walk the final rocky stretch to Solomon Ndwandwe's property and then duck a barbed-wire fence.
Ndwandwe, 58, approaches with slow, careful steps from a small plot of sweet potatoes, planted when he still had the strength for such things, and the two men seat themselves on the step in front of the house.
Dlamini is one of two tuberculosis (TB) medication adherence officers working on motorcycles out of the Good Shepherd Hospital in Siteki, the region's main referral facility. He is here to find out why Ndwandwe missed his last appointment at the hospital and what he can do to help him restart his treatment.
SITEKI, 25 March 2009 (PLUSNEWS) - Siphiwe*, 14, has not been to school for two years but can still fit into her uniform. She has a strain of tuberculosis (TB) that is resistant to most first-line drugs and can take two years or more to treat, but she stopped taking her medication four months ago.
She is reluctant to give a reason, saying only that the tablets were "becoming bitter", but there are a number of possible explanations. She had already endured six months of walking to her local clinic in Siteki in Swaziland's eastern Lubombo Region to receive painful daily injections, and was swallowing 11 pills a day, including antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to control her HIV infection.
TB patients who are resistant to two or more first-line drugs are managed by Swaziland's National TB Programme in Manzini, about 60 kilometres away, which meant that Siphiwe and her aunt, who is also her caregiver, had to beg and borrow money from neighbours to have bus fare for her monthly appointments.
There was also the daily struggle to find food to take with her pills, and the three-kilometre walk to collect water. Her aunt is blind, so these tasks fell to Siphiwe, despite her obvious difficulty in breathing and persistent cough.
"I tried talking to her about taking her pills," said her aunt, "but sometimes she was taking them without food and it made her sick."

Beijing, 30 Mar 2009 - The Beijing Chest Hospital was packed with people on a recent weekday morning. In the waiting area, Wang Chong, a migrant worker who has been fighting tuberculosis for several months, was facing a dilemma: Does he continue treatment that has already cost him more than $5,000 or stop before his savings are wiped out?
It's not only his health at stake. If Wang stops treatment prematurely, his tuberculosis is likely to morph into one of the new, hardier strains that resist the drugs he has been using and that pose a growing threat to global public health. Countries as diverse as China, Russia and South Africa are vulnerable, and the new strains have also appeared in the United States.
DURBAN, 1 April 2009 (PLUSNEWS) - Several years ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) identified the three most important ways of reducing the risk of tuberculosis (TB) in people living with HIV, who are highly susceptible to the airborne disease.
The strategy, called the "3 I's", includes "Improving TB infection control", "Intensifying efforts to diagnose TB cases", and "Isoniazid for six months" - giving HIV-infected patients six months of Isoniazid, a first-line TB drug, as a preventive therapy.
The approach was widely recognized as effective and feasible, and incorporated into a number of national TB policies, yet TB - the most common and life-threatening opportunistic infection in people living with HIV - claimed the lives of an estimated 230,000 HIV-positive people in 2008, according to WHO.

UK, 03 Apr 2009 - Tuberculosis is a preventable and treatable disease that thrives amid poverty and weak health systems. For these reasons, the shortcomings and challenges in WHO's 13th annual report Global Tuberculosis Control 2009, released on March 24, make sombre reading.
Tuberculosis incidence has declined since 2004, but only by less than 1% per year. Case detection is stagnant. Despite progress in several regions, the Stop TB Partnership target of a 50% reduction in 1990 prevalence and mortality by 2015 will not be met. More worrying is the synergy of tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS co-infection in sub-Saharan Africa, and the growth of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant strains (XDR-TB) in eastern Europe: two factors that complicate treatment and threaten to increase fatality rates.

UK, 08 Apr 2009 - Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a "time-bomb" waiting to explode into a global epidemic, World Health Organization director-general Dr Margaret Chan warned last week.
Speaking at the WHO's ministerial meeting for high TB burden countries in Beijing, China, on preventing the spread of multi- and extensively drug-resistant TB (M/XDR-TB), Dr Chan said the "potentially explosive situation" meant new plans of action were urgently required in TB-endemic countries.
The meeting, attended by ministers and representatives from 27 high-burden countries, including China, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Russia, Pakistan, South Africa and Ukraine, discussed the threat of drug-resistant TB and studied actions to prevent and manage the disease.

SCRIP World Pharmaceutical News
UK, 20 Apr 2009 - Multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis is rife in the former Soviet Union and parts of Southeast Asia, and efforts to fight resistance are inadequate, a study partly funded by Lilly of the worldwide prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis has revealed.
The report, published online in The Lancet on April 16th, found the highest resistant rate in Azerbaijan, with 22.3% of new treatment-naïve TB cases classified as multiple drug resistant (MDR).
Moldovia's MDR rates were the second highest, at 19.4%, followed by Ukraine, with a rate of 16%. Countries in the Americas, western and central Europe and Africa reported the lowest prevalence of MDR TB.
The epidemiology survey was conducted by the World Health Organisation's Global Project on Anti-tuberculosis Resistance, which gathered data from more than 90,000 patients in 83 countries between 2002 and 2007. Where possible, data for HIV status and resistance to second line drugs were also obtained.
"The countries of the former Soviet Union are facing a serious and widespread epidemic with the highest prevalence of MDR tuberculosis ever reported in 13 years of data collection. Almost half of all tuberculosis cases in countries of the former Soviet Union are resistant to at least one drug and one in five cases are MDR," said study author Dr Abigail Wright of the WHO. "In this region, MDR-tuberculosis cases have more extensive resistance patterns and the highest rate of XDR (extensively drug-resistant) tuberculosis."
The study called for anti-tuberculosis efforts to be accelerated and backed by strong political commitment in order to quash the growing epidemic.
"Outliers were identified in all regions, suggesting a prevalence of MDR tuberculosis is linked to the performance of national tuberculosis control programmes," added Dr Wright.
In 2000, the WHO implemented a directly observed therapy short course (DOTS); however, a WHO study published shortly after found that the strategy would not control multiple drug resistance in countries with widespread resistance.
DOTS consists of the administration of short-course chemotherapy regimens with first-line drugs under direct observation. New cases of TB receive an initial phase of treatment with four drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and streptomycin or ethambutol) for two months under strict direct observation, followed by a continuation phase with rifampicin and isoniazid for four months.
"We know how to prevent the emergence of drug resistance: consistent use of good, basic tuberculosis control. The bad news is that this measure is not being done in affected countries," said Dr Martien Borgdorff, executive director of the KNVC Tuberculosis foundation, in The Lancet's commentary article.
"This drug-resistant epidemic is being tackled with antiquated and inadequate diagnostics, drugs, and vaccines. Fortunately, progress is being made: rapid diagnostic tests are in late stages of development, three drug candidates with new mechanisms of action have recently shown positive results in trials, and six vaccines will be in human trials by the end of the year," Dr Borgdoff continued.
Potential antibiotics in the clinic include Bayer's moxifloxacin, with Phase III results expected next year. The drug is already approved for various skin and respiratory infections.
Tibotec is developing novel adenosome triphosphate (ATP) synthase inhibitor, diarylquinoline (TMC-207), which promisingly displayed bactericidal activity of a similar magnitude to rifampicin and isoniazid in Phase II. The company says an NDA filing is expected by 2010.
The Japanese firm Otsuka also has a Phase II candidate, OPC-67683 – an oral mycolic acid synthesis inhibitor (scripnews.com, December 1st, 2006). The US FDA awarded it orphan status for pulmonary tuberculosis in 2007.
Montreal, 15 Sep 2009 - Tuberculosis is a global threat that affects more than 10 million people each year. Working with colleagues in the United States and France, Dr. Dick Menzies of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) has placed current tuberculosis treatment guidelines under the microscope in a new study. The team's conclusions, published today in two separate articles in the journal PLoS Medicine, recommend that the World Health Organization (WHO) must review and adjust its guidelines for fighting the disease.
"Our first study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of 57 studies, involving more than 20,000 patients from around the world," says Dr. Menzies. "It demonstrates that the treatment period should be extended for people affected by the active form of tuberculosis for the first time. Specifically, the study recommends that these patients should be treated with Rifampin for six months, instead of two months; the additional four months will help maximize the medication's effectiveness."
In the second article, the researchers assess guidelines for patients who have been treated but not cured. "Currently, these patients receive a cocktail of drugs over the course of eight months, which can result in drug resistance and a failure to cure in up to 45 per cent of cases," says Dr. Menzies. "More studies are needed to determine the optimal strategy. However, we believe that it is essential – indeed, of critical importance – to thoroughly review these guidelines."
"Our challenge as researchers is to put into place the most effective strategies for the treatment of tuberculosis, to determine the optimal length for courses of treatment so as to avoid relapse, and to formulate more effective combinations of drugs in order to avoid drug resistance," Dr. Menzies adds. The two studies will allow the WHO to review and update its directives for the treatment of tuberculosis, thereby benefiting the global community.
Dr. Dick Menzies is the Director of Respiratory Medicine at the MUHC and a researcher in the Respiratory Health Axis and Health Outcomes Axis at the Research Institute of the MUHC. He is also a Full Professor in the Departments of Medicine and Epidemiology, Biostatistics & Occupational Health in the Faculty of Medicine of McGill University.
This article was co-authored by Dr. Dick Menzies, Dr. Andrea Benedetti, Dr. Anita Paydar, Dr. Ian Martin and Dr. Madhukar Pai from the RI-MUHC, Dr. Sarah Royce from the University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, USA, Dr. Andrew Vernon from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, USA Dr. Christian Lienhardt from the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases and Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, Paris, France and Dr. William Burman, from the Denver Public Health, Denver, Colorado, USA
This study was funded by the World Health Organization (WHO). The Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Fonds de la recherche en santé du Québec (FRSQ) provided salary support for some authors.
