CBP501 Enters Phase II Trials For The Treatment Of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
CanBas Co., Ltd. (Numazu, Shizuoka, "CanBas") and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Osaka, "Takeda") together with Takeda"s wholly-owned subsidiary Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company (Cambridge, MA, "Millennium") announced the advancement of CBP501 into Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Current pre-clinical data suggest that CBP501 has the potential to induce cancer cell death through a mechanism of action that blocks the ability of cancer cells to transition through the cell cycle. Data from a previous Phase I study indicate that CBP501 may enhance anti-cancer cytotoxic activity when combined with selected chemotherapeutic drugs.

Computer System For Dementia Patients
The labour force in the health services is shrinking, there are more and more old people, and a very high proportion of them are plagued by deteriorating short- and long-term memory. All this has created a need for computer-based solutions that will enable elderly people to live safely in their own homes, but at the same time, the technology needed to take special care of them is expensive. On top of this, different standards for home sensors create problems.

Difference In The Way Children With Autism Learn New Behaviors Pinpointed By New Study
Researchers from the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have collaborated to uncover important new insights into the neurological basis of autism. Their new study, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, examined patterns of movement as children with autism and typically developing children learned to control a novel tool. The findings suggest that children with autism appear to learn new actions differently than do typically developing children. As compared to their typically developing peers, children with autism relied much more on their own internal sense of body position (proprioception), rather than visual information coming from the external world to learn new patterns of movement. Furthermore, researchers found that the greater the reliance on proprioception, the greater the child"s impairment in social skills, motor skills and imitation.

Officials Hope Health Reform Reaches Rural America

Rural Americans are hopeful that health reform includes funding for clinics and health care services in their communities, where the cost of care is often high, CNN reports. "What one senses is a conflict between idealism and rural reality; of course, [one rurual doctor] would like everyone covered, but there is a nagging sense that politicians who don"t understand places like [Clay, W.Va.,] will pass major legislation that changes the funding model for health care - and clinics like the one here - and yet somehow doesn"t work as advertised." For instance, a man who lived far from a hospital had to take an ambulance ride and an emergency helicopter ride to a hospital in an urban setting to receive care for a heart attack, the helicopter ride cost $11,000. For Carl Walls and his wife, Elizabeth, covering them - people who have paid taxes for their whole lives - ranks pretty high on what they think government should do with health reform. ""You know, we have worked all our lives and tried, and we can"t seem to get any program that works for us," Elizabeth Walls said. Their worries might not make sense to those promising universal, or near-universal, access in Washington. But that sentiment, maybe polite skepticism is a better way to put it, is commonplace in the tiny coal towns where many of the jobs have disappeared, and whatever is said now is judged alongside the many past promises that help was on the way" (King, 7/11).
