QIAGEN Teams With China's Lepu Medical To Provide Rapid Diagnosis Of Heart Attacks Using Point Of Need Testing
BEIJING, China, and HILDEN, Germany, September 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- QIAGEN's cutting-edge ESEQuant Lateral Flow System will run Lepu Medical's tests for key cardiac biomarkers to deliver lifesaving information in emergency rooms
- Cardiac testing adds further momentum for QIAGEN in fast-growing Chinese market
- Pioneering ESEQuant platform achieves first regulatory approval in human healthcare, expanding QIAGEN's global Point of Need business
QIAGEN N.V. (NASDAQ: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced an agreement with Lepu Medical Technology ( Beijing) Co., Ltd., a leading medical device company in China, to provide QIAGEN's ESEQuant Lateral Flow System for use in emergency rooms with Lepu's tests for cardiac markers that diagnose acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). The agreement expands QIAGEN's presence in China and adds a new point of need diagnostics application.
China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) has approved the ESEQuant Lateral Flow detection system with Lepu Medical's five cardiac marker tests. Lepu will market the system in China under the name LEPU Quant-Gold. Globally, this is the first regulatory approval in human healthcare for QIAGEN's pioneering ESEQuant platform which was acquired in 2010.
"We are very pleased to begin this relationship with the Lepu Group and meet a pressing need for heart patients by combining ESEQuant's quick turnaround time with the reliability of Lepu's tests for cardiac biomarkers," said Dr. Frank Krieg-Schneider, Head of Global Strategic Alliances & OEM at QIAGEN. "This agreement advances two strategic initiatives: First, our geographic presence is further broadened by the addition of important point of need assays in China. China today represents QIAGEN's third-largest country in sales. Secondly, we are driving platform success by launching ESEQuant as an SFDA-approved device in a lifesaving medical application, a milestone for our emerging Point of Need portfolio."QIAGEN's Point of Need portfolio is rapidly expanding. The growth is based on the benefits of the revolutionary ESE platform portfolio as well as on the value of the pipeline and portfolio of molecular and other assays for these platforms. Earlier in 2012 QIAGEN acquired the AmniSure immunoassay for rupture of amniotic membranes in pregnant women, a self-contained test used in doctor's offices and maternity units, and joined a global initiative with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to create much-needed platforms for point of care diagnosis in the developing world. "Our vision for point of need is to bring the speed and reliability of advanced diagnostics into emergency rooms, physician offices and other places where care is given without immediate access to laboratories", Dr. Krieg-Schneider added.

Opens Friday at Movies of Lake Worth, 7380 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth; 561-968-4545; moviesofdelray.com.With all the momentum of dripping molasses, Savannah recounts the true-life story of Ward Allen (Jim Caviezel), a larger-than-life outdoorsman too big to be boxed in by early 20th-century societal boundaries. Rejecting his privileged plantation heritage to hunt ducks alongside freed slave sidekick Christmas (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Ward proves a Shakespeare-quoting wild man increasingly unfit for modern life. Drenched in dewy-eyed nostalgia, tinged with sorrow for the way changing tides made Ward an outcast, the story overflows with reverence but is drastically short on passion or suspense.

Roman Augustoviz spends Minnesota's winters covering college hockey, specifically the Gophers, and other University of Minnesota sports. During the summer, he writes about the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, with a dose of U sports sprinkled in. Follow him on Twitter @RomanStrib.
Two teams with long streaks meet Saturday night at the BOK Center in Tulsa.
The Shock have lost 13 games in a row going back to last season but are coming oh so close to ending that streak. On Friday at Chicago, Tulsa lost to the Sky in overtime 98-91. The Shock are 0-7 this season with three of those losses coming by three points or fewer.
The Lynx are 8-0 this season, 14-0 going back to last year's playoffs. They also have an eight-game winning streak on the road. The big question with them is the status of Seimone Augustus. Will she play and how effective will she be? Augustus missed the last game with a strained right quad.
If the Lynx beat the Shock, they will tie the WNBA record for most consecutive wins to start the season. Los Angeles started 9-0 in 2001 and '03.
The Lynx lead the league in points per game (85.9), shooting percentage (52.3) and assists (19.1) per game. They are second in three-point shooting (40.2).
Tulsa is first in the WNBA in points off turnovers (23.9).
* Tulsa's 6-8 center Liz Cambage is not with the Shock these days. She is training with Australia for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The Aussies are in Turkey and beat the Turks 57-49. Cambage did not start, but had 16 points and seven rebounds in 16 minutes. ... Quanitra Hollingsworth, a former Lynx now with the New York Liberty, started for the Turks and had five points and six rebounds.

Meridian Bioscience Receives FDA Clearance For ImmunoCard® C. Difficile GDH Test
Meridian Bioscience, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio (NASDAQ:VIVO) today announced it has received FDA clearance for a new Clostridium difficile assay, Immuno Card ® C. difficile GDH. This test detects the C. difficile common antigen glutamate dehydrogenase (or GDH). This assay has already been successfully launched and accepted in global markets as an excellent screening option for C. difficile. The GDH common antigen is present in both toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains of C. difficile. Toxigenic strains of C. difficile are frequently associated with hospital and community-acquired diarrhea and can lead to life-threatening complications or death. Therefore, laboratories can use this highly sensitive screening test to identify patients with a suspected C. difficile infection and then reflex positives to a sensitive and more specific molecular assay like illumigene ® C. difficile, which can confirm infection with the toxin-producing strains. Meridian Bioscience is the only manufacturer that can provide a complete portfolio of C. difficile testing solutions that meets the needs of its global customers. Immuno Card C. difficile GDH, used in conjunction with illumigene C. difficile, empowers cost-sensitive laboratories with an economical algorithmic option for C. difficile diagnostic testing.
Jack Kraeutler, Chief Executive Officer stated, " C. difficile continues to be both a dangerous and costly infection for patients and the healthcare institutions that care for them. For a screening test to be most effective, it must be very sensitive so as not to miss any true positives. In rigorous clinical studies, Immun oCard C. difficile had the highest negative predictive value when compared against competing screening tests. The introduction of Immuno Card C. difficile GDH in the US market continues Meridian's legacy of leadership in the detection and identification of C. difficile. This new product, along with the Meridian illumigene C. difficile molecular assay , allows laboratories to identify C. difficile infected patients with a rapid screening test and molecular confirmation in less than two hours. "

mom's the word
Posted by Shirley Brady on November 1, 2012 12:02 PM
If this political indeed rises and falls on which campaign can win over "Walmart Moms," Walmart is more than happy to offer up their opinions. In a move to own one of the hot-button phrases in this U.S. election cycle, Walmart not only presented the candidates to their customers, but the mega-retailer is presenting their customers' concerns back to the candidates as they enter the final stretch before election day on November 6th. The Walmart Community YouTube channel features more video interviews with Walmart moms stopped while shopping, while the Walmart Community Votes website encourages them to register, vote and be heard.

WHAT: Winner 2008 Edinburgh Comedy Award & 2010 Irish Comedian of The Year WHEN: Sat March 24 WHERE: Canberra Theatre Centre
Irish comedian David O'Doherty has spent the past year touring and writing, and doing bits for British and US television. Last year he became the least famous person ever to have hosted the BBC quiz Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and his latest book 100 Facts About Sharks co-written with Claudia O'Doherty and Mike Ahern was published worldwide. In November he recorded his latest CD We Are Not The Champions in Dublin and in February he became the first Irish comedian to record his own Comedy Central TV Special in America. On March 24 David O'Doherty presents an hour of talking, songs and a movie proposal for Canberra. He is terribly excited to be coming back. Bookings through the venue.
WHAT: Weird Lonely Strangers WHEN: Wed-Thurs March 23-24 WHERE: The Street Theatre
Weird Lonely Strangers is the latest offering from critically acclaimed writer/performer Sarah Quinn, who was last seen at The Street in her sell-out self-help parody Other People's Problems. Billed as a "tender, sexy, silly and sad satirical solo sketch comedy", Weird Lonely Strangers is "packed with oddball folks and idiosyncratic nobodies, in all their lovely weirdness." With fast-paced vignettes satirising subjects as diverse as Jon Bon Jovi's fierce will to live, writers who can't speak, and speed-dating for commitment-phobes, Weird Lonely Strangers promises to be an unpredictably offbeat mixer for the inarticulate, the uncomfortable and the overlooked; people you might not notice, some you'd rather ignore. For tickets call 6247 1223 or www.thestreet.org.au .
WHAT: Telstra Ballet in the Park WHEN: Fri March 16 WHERE: Stage 88
The Australian Ballet's 50th anniversary wouldn't be complete without a visit to the nation's capital. A specially selected array of repertoire will be performed featuring many company highlights from throughout the decades. Sumptuous divertissements from La Favorita, Don Quixote, Giselle, The Nutcracker, Le Corsaire and Molto Vivace will sit alongside an emotionally charged pas de trois from Graeme Murphy's 2002 masterpiece Swan Lake. Finishing off the evening will be an excerpt from the Russian classic La Bayadere. Featuring 12 female dancers in a sea of white tutus, tiaras and tulle, The Kingdom of the Shades is a superb showcase of a strong corps de ballet with ensemble work that demands absolute precision. 7pm sharp, free.

WHAT: Australia's pre-eminent live political comedy group WHEN: Wed-Sat March 21-24 WHERE: Civic Pub
Political Asylum is Australia's pre-eminent live political comedy group, performing regularly to sell out crowds in Melbourne, and featuring appearances from the best political comedians this country has to offer. In preparation for a big new show at the 2012 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, they're bringing their core team of talented funny men to the nation's capital for a whistle stop tour. There is certainly something distinct that sets political comedy apart from the wider stand up scene, and often it?s as much about the audience as the performer. Says comedian and co-founder of Political Asylum Mathew Kenneally, "Our audiences read the paper and watch the news, and they?re clamouring for some pointed humour at the expense of Barnaby Joyce or Mark Arbib. We do our best to oblige."
Start time is 7.30pm, and tickets are $20/$15. For more info head to www.politicalasylum.com.au .

Archive for the 'Internet & jurors' Category
A few weeks ago, I was eating a late lunch and turned on the TV and watched the Katie Couric talk show for the first time. She was talking to two 20-something guests about the perils of online dating. They talked about ways to protect yourself from deceptive "catfishing" by using Google image search or examining social network profiles for inconsistencies and at one point Katie said "My gosh, you have to be like Columbo these days!". Both of her young guests smiled politely but their blank faces made it clear they had no idea who Columbo was.
One of the guests was Nev Schulman from the movie Catfish. If you don't know this story, Nev met a woman named Megan online who was gorgeous and a dancer and a singer and he fell in love. When he showed up on her doorstep to meet her in person, Megan turned out to be a 40-something housewife named Angela who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and caring for two disabled stepsons. Part of the reason Nev was on the Katie show was to advertise his new TV show (Catfish the TV show). In this show, Nev travels the country visiting people who are involved in online relationships with people who always seem to turn out to be imposters hiding behind fake profiles. He teaches them how to investigate their online loves and dispenses a blend of empathy and sincerity that is very likable while their fantasies crumble about their feet.
Shortly after I watched this show, I saw a story at Courthouse News about a woman suing Match.com for $10M because someone she met on their website "hid in her garage, stabbed her 10 times and kicked her in the head until she 'stopped making the gurgling noise'". She says Match.com didn't warn her about the possibility of meeting "an individual whose intention was not to find a mate, but to find victims to kill or rape". She did not sue her attacker. She couldn't. He died in prison while "serving 28 to 70 years for killing an ex-girlfriend".
"What happened to Mary Kay Beckman is horrible, but this lawsuit is absurd," Match.com said. "The many millions of people who have found love on Match.com and other online dating sites know how fulfilling it is. And while that doesn't make what happened in this case any less awful, this is about a sick, twisted individual with no prior criminal record, not an entire community of men and women looking to meet each other."
It isn't as though these are isolated cases or very, very fringe behavior. These are sad, sad stories involving a pretty universal desire to be loved and cherished. It's been hard to miss the publicity surrounding Notre Dame's Manti Te'o and his own catfishing experience with a very unlucky (and then dead and then alive again) girlfriend. The "girlfriend" turned out to be a disturbed young man who once auditioned for the television show The Voice.
It's a difficult issue. We've worked a couple of cases where people were assaulted by others they had met online. One case involved a minor girl and the other involved a grown woman. In both cases, the assailant lied about who they were, how old they were, and what their intentions were, while all the while enticing the victim to meet them. Both stories were horribly sad and life-changing for the victim. Yet, in both situations, our mock jurors said the fault lay with the victim for "lying to her mother and meeting this guy" or "telling him where she lived". Jurors thought these women had learned a very hard and cruel lesson but they should not be compensated by the online service for using bad judgment.
There are discussions occurring as to how to respond from a legal standpoint to the perpetrators of these hoaxes. In our experience, jurors think these are examples of poor personal responsibility by the victim of the hoax. The online service was scrutinized, but overall the mock jurors felt that users of these services know that there is no vetting of community members, and anyone who assumes authenticity in online disclosures is, at best, naïve. This is an area we will keep up with as new definitions and practices emerge to keep up with our changing definitions of what constitutes a "relationship" in a social media world.
We are always on the prowl for tools to help with litigation research. This one took us a little by surprise when we read a piece on it in the Atlantic. While Facebook apparently rolled this service out to be more of an information source, we wonder if they thought about how Graph Search could be used for more nefarious or humiliating purposes. For example, here are some recent graph searches done on Facebook and helpfully posted on Tumblr within 24 hours of Graph Search's launch.
Current employers of people who like racism.
The spouses of people who like Prostitutes.
The mothers of Jews who like Bacon.
Single women who live nearby and like getting Getting Drunk.
And there are likely a lot more out there without the faces and names blurred for privacy. This new Facebook tool raises two issues for us:

Second, this raises many questions about litigation research. Now you can quickly search for attitudes and opinions toward various corporations or litigation issues. How do people feel about your corporate client? About gay marriage? About gun control? About deception? Some of the answers you may already know–because they are controversial and divisive. But the resource may also give you new areas for discovery or for questions in pretrial research.
One could argue that Facebook posts are less "troll-ish" than what you see in the Comments section of mass media news sites. People on Facebook are, after all, posting for their friends (however loosely defined). But we don't know that for sure. Regardless, this is a sure tool for social media analysts to apply to multiple questions, and a potentially valuable online discovery tool. Your peers have already been at least considering it. As has the mass media.

@umbra21 - With a bichon frise puppy that shouldn't be a problem though. They don't grow the longer coat until they reach about a year old.
And remember, if you live in a place with low temperatures, you need to make sure your puppy, or even your adult dog will stay warm. If you cut off the entire top coat, it reduces their ability to stay warm to even lower than a short coated dog, because you remove all the guard hairs. Which can be a good thing in a hot climate, but very dangerous if you live in a place where it snows and the dog is often outside.
It's a very good idea to go to a professional groomer in your area, at least once, and see what they recommend. It might be different styles for different seasons. Please go with what will make your dog the most comfortable, rather than trying to be fashionable.

top3. World Bank Establishes Trust Fund for World's Poorest Countries - The WB created on January 15 a $25 million Trust Fund to strengthen institutions, support early efforts at policy reform and build capacity for social service delivery in the world's poorest countries. These countries, collectively known as Low Income Countries Under Stress (LICUS), are characterized by very weak institutions and governance, and constitute the most difficult environments in which to use aid effectively. The Bank's LICUS initiative aims to support selective basic governance reforms and innovative mechanisms for social service delivery. The Trust Fund will target those LICUS countries that are not eligible to receive International Development Association (IDA) funding due to their arrears with the Bank. The Trust Fund will be financed by transferring funds from the Bank's surplus for FY03 and will operate until the end of 2007. It will be administered by the International Development Association (IDA), drawing on the approval system, documentation and procedures of the existing Post Conflict Fund. The Trust Fund will work closely with the support available from other donor agencies, ensuring close collaboration with our partners, in particular the UN system. To learn more about the LICUS initiative, please go to: http://www.worldbank.org/licus.4. Making Results Matter at the Marrakesh Roundtable - The Second International Roundtable on Managing for Development Results took place on 4-5 February 2004 in Marrakesh, Morocco.

The Roundtable brought together representatives from developing countries and development agencies to discuss the challenges of managing for development results at the country level and the ways in which countries and development agencies are addressing these issues on the ground. Participants assessed progress since the First Roundtable, which took place in 2002, and talked about how they can continue to strengthen country and agency commitments to harmonize monitoring and evaluation around national strategies and systems, in order to provide useful reporting on results. They also reflected on how donors can better coordinate support to strengthen the planning, statistical systems, and monitoring and evaluation capacity that countries need to manage their development process. Heads of agencies endorsed a Joint Marrakesh Memorandum which outlines common principles on managing for development results, including a commitment to specific actions for 2004. To learn more about the Bank's work on the results agenda, please visit: http://www.worldbank.org/results.top5. 2004 Country-level Development Marketplaces (CDMs): Call for Proposals - The Development Marketplace is a global competition for innovative ideas held annually at the WB headquarters.

If you have any questions, you may contact the Development Marketplace secretariat by writing to: mailto:email@example.com. New Statistical Initiative to Measure Results - The new initiative called STATCAP is designed to build the capacity of developing countries to gather and analyze statistics. It envisions a new lending program to help countries gather hard evidence on the state of development in their communities by developing more sophisticated statistical systems. To take part in the STATCAP program, countries will be asked to produce statistical masterplans for the upgrading of their systems. Two pilot programs are already being developed, in Ukraine and Burkina Faso. Among the priorities of STATCAP will be developing the ability within the statistical systems to monitor countries' progress toward the Millennium Development Goals. The initiative builds on the WB's effort to emphasize the results of its development efforts.top

Debt relief under the enhanced HIPC Initiative from all of Nicaragua's creditors will amount to approximately US$4.5 billion over time. Nicaragua becomes the tenth country to reach its completion point under the enhanced framework of the HIPC Initiative. IDA will provide debt relief amounting to US$382.6 million in debt service relief (US$190.9 million in net present value (NPV) terms), to be delivered through a 90 percent reduction in debt service on IDA credits from 2001 through 2023.

The program is contained in the Interim Strategy for Iraq. It includes specific projects and technical assistance, to be financed by the trust fund, and also a program of economic and sector work aimed at laying the groundwork for an expanded development assistance program in the near future. The work program detailed in the Interim Strategy is based on a Joint Iraq Needs Assessment conducted by the UN and WB in 2003. The immediate goals of the work program are: build the Iraqi government's ability to manage a reconstruction program; initiate emergency programs to address urgent needs; and provide policy advice and analytical work that will pave the transition to a market-based economy and a medium-term development program.National Geographic on World Bank-supported Yemen Literacy Through Poetry Project - National Geographic features a story on this pilot project in its January 27 issue. The project has dual goals of teaching literacy skills to rural Yemeni women utilizing their own extensive oral literature, and investigating the relevance of expressive culture to development in ways other than the marketing of cultural artifacts. For centuries, oral poetry has offered a socially acceptable way for Yemeni men and women to solve problems, manage conflicts, and communicate feelings. The project addresses two underlying chronic problems faced by Yemeni women: a decline in their own poetry composition and a loss of a public voice. The project applies the latest findings in educational theory, including the assertion that learning is most effective when it is based on what learners already know, and affirms what they value.
South Asia Region (SAR)The Punjab Education Service Delivery Reform - The Punjab education service delivery reform is supported by a US$100 million credit approved by the WB on February 10. The reform will bring more children from Punjab, Pakistan's largest province, particularly poor children and girls, into school and provide them with better quality education.

The reform, which this credit supports has three main pillars: (a) public finance reforms; (b) devolution reforms; and (c) education sector reforms. These reforms have been designed following consultations with students, parents, teachers, and local officials, including with district education teams and CSOs. More information about this project can be found on the website of Bank's office in Pakistan.
