AACE Response To Insulin Glargine Cancer Risk Articles In Diabetologia
On June 26, 2009 several articles published online in Diabetologia by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes investigated the possible relationship between use of insulin glargine (Lantus, sanofi-aventis) and the development of certain malignancies. The authors themselves, and the accompanying editorial, cautioned against over-interpretation of their limited data and analyses, which precluded them from drawing any firm conclusions. For example, there were contradictory findings among the studies, patient populations were not always comparable, and the duration of observation was short. Nonetheless, since the relationship of type 2 diabetes to cancer is of critical importance, further study is warranted.

New Data Supports Significant Economic And Clinical Value Of MENOPUR(R) In IVF
New data from an economic analysis presented today at this year"s European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) congress showed that, within the parameters of the simulation model used, the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment MENOPUR (highly-purified human menopausal gonatropin or HP-hMG) offered considerable cost-savings over recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH).1 The cost-effectiveness of HP-hMG compared with rFSH suggested by this data could make it a more attractive choice for use in infertility treatment within a fixed healthcare budget.

Surgeon General Releases Call To Action To Promote Healthy Homes

Statement of Charles D. Connor, American Lung Association President and CEO: The American Lung Association welcomes the Surgeon General"s Call to Action to Promote Healthy Homes issued today. We pledge to work to ensure healthy indoor air in homes for everyone. In far too many homes across the United States people breathe air that can make them seriously ill or even threaten their lives. Inhaling some of the most dangerous poisons like tobacco smoke, radon and carbon monoxide, they risk diseases like lung cancer and even early death. Every person and every family in the nation deserves a healthy home-a safe, secure place that protects them from these and other substances that can cause or worsen serious illnesses like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or threaten their lives. We note that all too often the burden of unhealthy air falls disproportionally on communities already suffering from a higher burden of disease and exposure to dangerous outdoor air pollutants. The American Lung Association has long worked for healthy air in our homes, recognizing years ago that there are simple and effective steps to ensure that happens. We have worked to educate the public about smokefree housing, radon testing, and steps to reduce asthma triggers, for example. Right now, Lung Associations are leading the way to help promote smokefree multifamily housing and to promote policy changes that will result in healthy air in homes. We look forward to working with the Surgeon General and other partners on these important steps in the future. American Lung Association
