When asked if she thinks that, to some degree, by refusing to give out certain medications she is imposing her beliefs and values on other individuals, Brauer says, "I believe that when someone asks me to provide out something that I think is killing, they're definitely imposing their beliefs on me." Contrary to government claims, unwanted effects happen more often with Crestor, a cholesterol-lowering drug that consumer advocates experimented with get off the market earlier this year, a fresh analysis shows.The overview of leading cholesterol drugs taken by millions of Americans showed that most are very safe and secure and that the risk of serious problems, even with Crestor, are very low. But the latest research appeared to challenge a Food and Drug Administration decision to never pull the drug from the market.In March, the FDA had contended Crestor's risks were no greater than its competitors, also it rejected consumer efforts to get rid of the drug, made by AstraZeneca PLC, from store shelves. Instead, the FDA ordered a stern warning on the label, saying Crestor could cause serious muscle problems and kidney damage, especially among Asians.The new study, based on side effects reported towards the FDA, said that kidney problems and severe muscle weakness were two to eight times more frequent among Crestor users than those taking other statins."What we're saying is that amongst the family of statins, Crestor appears to have, using this sort of analysis, appears to have the worst safety profile," the co-author in the study, Dr. Richard H. Karas of Tufts University, told CBS News Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson.That confirms the same analysis by a consumer group, that's rejected by both the FDA and drug maker AstraZeneca, Attkisson notes. The "official" FDA and company line has been that Crestor is no worse compared to the competition. The study also raises another question, Attkisson reports. Why didn't the FDA -- which compares the same data as the study authors -- flag the same issues?"This will be further reason to accept the drug off the market," said Dr. Sidney Wolfe of the consumer group Public Citizen. He said his group would try again to get the drug off the market. no previous page next 1/2
As an alternative to looking at the scientific basis for the disease, people just judge addictions, explains Schwarzlose, who notes that celebrities who're successful in beating their addictions don't often make the news. "It's the Darryl Strawberrys and Robert Downeys who keep falling and catching the headlines." The doctors already operated around the boy, but something went wrong. They told the caretaker there is nothing more they can do. She must take her son home to die. "I can't trust our doctor's decision," she says.
Carol Nespola isn't taking a chance. She has sore throat, minor injuries, and major anxiety. The new Austin Powers movie is setting up a big splash at the box office. And if you haven't noticed, it has also brought forth numerous product tie-ins, including a fresh-mouthed doll that's resulting in a bit of a stir.An Atlanta mother complained to police after her 11-year-old son purchased the racy doll the other day at a local Toys R Us, reports CBS News Correspondent Julie Chen.Tamatha Brannon wants retailers to prevent selling the doll, which repeats some of the movie super-spy's trademark lines including: "Do I cause you to horny, baby? Do I?"The underwear-clad dolls with gorilla-like chest hair don't speak unless they're removed from the packaging, but the quotation is written for the box. Brannon was incensed when her son began pestering her about what "horny" meant after reading it about the box."I can't believe this toy enables for ages 10 and up," she said Tuesday. "It's perverted."McFarlane Toys, which manufactures the doll, also constitutes a fully clothed doll with "softer" quotes through the PG-13 rated film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. The corporation said the adult form of the doll is only sold at record stores and novelty shops that serve an older audience."Given that we ship millions of toys all over the world, it's certainly possible one case wound up to the left or to the right of where it will have been," president and CEO Todd McFarlane said.Officials at Toys r us headquarters in Paramus, N.J., on Tuesday asked stores to pull any of the more risqué dolls from the shelves.Toys r us spokeswoman Rebecca Caruso said the retailer had bought the "softer" type of the dolls.By E.N.

"These are cruel choices some seniors face: heat or medicine, food or pills. Within a wealthy nation, this is a scandal. In a compassionate nation, it is a call to action," says Bush. mulberry plant More than a dozen senators trying to take off a showdown over judicial filibusters didn't work out a deal Wednesday to confirm some of President Bush's controversial judicial appointments while rejecting others.The Senate's party leaders, Republican Bill Frist of Tennessee and Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada, opened formal debate on Texas jurist Priscilla Owen — the nominee which will test the Democrats' ability to continue blocking judges with filibusters."This is really just the beginning," Amy Walter, an analyst using the Cook Political Report told CBS News Early show Co-anchor Julie Chen . "We will dsicover the (Owen) nomination go to the Senate floor but natural meats not see any real action for the next week or so because there will be debate and you then will start to see, potentially, this course of action that is called the 'nuclear option,'" Walter added. "You have very much of a moving target. You've kept senators on both sides working hard to generate a compromise. Which may actually happen."With a conclusion on whether to allow filibusters looming early in a few days, centrist lawmakers met in various offices across the Capitol complex — in Sen. John Warner's office at some part, Republican Mike DeWine's office at another — seeking an agreement that would avert a politically explosive confrontation.Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado attended at the very least 13 private meetings over the previous 24 hours with senators trying to reach a deal, a spokesman said."It's kind of like exams. If you have a date-certain, people have a tendency to react. So in that sense, it has been a good thing," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of several negotiators.The senators seen moving in and out of those sessions in daytime included Republicans Graham, DeWine, Warner, John McCain of Arizona, Susan Collins of Maine, Mike DeWine of Ohio, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Democrats Salazar, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.Congressional aides said late Wednesday the negotiators failed to reach agreement but would resume their talks Thursday. The aides spoke on condition of anonymity since the discussions are being held in today's world. no previous page next 1/2
Melissa Ross has not been. After taking ecstacy just once, she died on the age of 19. mulberry bayswater bag First lady Nancy Reagan handpicked Edmund Morris to write Ronald Reagan's biography. Seeing that the book is finally planning to appear, a close friend claims that although Mrs. Reagan hasn't yet make out the print, she's definitely not pleased with what she's heard of it, reports CBS News White House Correspondent Bill Plante. "I think a few of the things disturbed Nancy, yes," said longtime Reagan aide Michael Deaver. "She's got her hands full right now, pretty busy just looking after Ronald Reagan. So I doubt if she's gonna sit back and read the 700 pages or so anytime quickly."The author, speaking with CBS News' 60 Minutes , knew Nancy Reagan will be upset "...because it observes her husband very, very objectively. And that i do not hide the fact that Reagan was frequently a classic, spaced-out man, inattentive to details." Ron and NancyMost of individuals who were close to Ronald Reagan are bewildered by reports concerning the book. Morris invents three fictional characters, each extension of himself, to help you tell the story of the man he found so faithfully to know."He was truly one of many strangest men who's ever lived. Nobody around him understood him," the author told 60 Minutes. Deaver said Ronald Reagan was always reserved - but not inscrutable."I don't understand why it's so complicated. Reagan is a very private person, and he's difficult to get to know. The last person he really wants to talk about is Ronald Reagan," Deaver said.Another Reagan biographer, Lou Cannon, says that for all the pages devoted to understanding Reagan the person, much of what has happened during his two terms remains out. "It seems to me that Mr. Morris's contribution would have been, because he had access in the presidency, was to tell us what continued during the presidency. And with not many exceptions, he really doesn't," Cannon said.Reagan's daughter, Maureen, issued a statement saying she'll pass on reading it, suggesting that the author wasted an irreplaceable opportunity. In the long run, Morris does say that he came to the conclusion that Ronald Reagan was a great president, but his controversial book seems unlikely in order to meet either Reagan's friends or enemies.©1999 CBS Worldwide Inc.

A search of a landfill in Aruba for clues inside the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway has appeared nothing so far, reports CBS News Correspondent Mike Kirsch, who's on the island.But he admits that Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, remains steadfast in her belief that suspect Joran van der Sloot and his awesome two friends, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, learn more than they're telling concerning the disappearance of her daughter.Natalee may be missing more than two months."I have no idea if they killed her. I am not sure if they traded her. I not really know. I don't have any idea," she told Kirsch.So she's beginning to spread her message to neighboring countries like Venezuela and Colombia, says Natalee's mother, "just in the event that they somehow managed to get her off maui."Natalee was last seen at a local nightclub with van der Sloot, the only suspect still being kept in connection with the case, and who Twitty says had a reputation for buying girls drinks, as outlined by one young woman she spoke with."He just leans across the bar," Twitty says. "The bartender lines up four shots of 151. These girls had no idea. It makes me wonder, would be that the shot he was buying my daughter before closing time, a shot of 151?"Twitty asserts which could "absolutely" have impaired Natalee's judgment.It's been widely established that Natalee willingly left the nightclub with van der Sloot as well as the Kalpoe brothers, but Twitty now says she thinks her daughter was tricked."I wish," Twitty laments, "Natalee might have been able to see Deepak and Satish Kalpoe and seen that those three were so tightly connected. She did not have that privilege. All she thought she was doing was getting in an Aruban cab with an Aruban cab driver."Kirsch notes that, whether Natalee believed she was getting back in a cab or in a personal car with the three boys is where the mystery starts, nevertheless for van der Sloot's mother, there's no question concerning the kind of person he is.Says Anita van der Sloot, "He had an academic scholarship. There were nothing that would irk this boy to something strange, as they had a brilliant future in front of him."But one, Kirsch points out, is an uncertain future at the moment, and many more so. Right now, an uncertain future, and even more so for Natalee."I know someone has the lowdown," Twitty insists, "and I'm simply so hopeful. I know it's nine weeks with it; it'll be ten weeks this Monday. But I'm just praying that they may come forward and share (information) along with us." There is good news for the estimated tens of thousands of American sufferers of type 1 diabetes.Studies have announced an important step toward a cure of the disease. The Early Show medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay explains that type 1 diabetes is a disease where a person lacks the insulin-producing cells, or islets cells, within the pancreas that regulate sugar. People who suffer with the type 1 diabetes must inject insulin every day for their whole lives. Now, researchers are testing a fresh treatment for the disease using islet cells from a donor pancreas. The cells are transplanted into the liver of an adult patient with your body, where they start producing insulin. These patients will no longer need daily insulin injections. Dr. Senay says the technique has worked well in Canada where it was initially developed. There are patients now who've been free from insulin injections provided four years. Dr. Senay says the question was whether or not others would be able to achieve the same results. The most up-to-date study is looking at 200 patients worldwide, including the United States. Preliminary results show exactly the same 88 percent success rate in freeing patients with your body from daily insulin injections. Doctors hope they could eventually perfect the technique and supply a hundred percent effective cure. Currently, the patients have to use anti-rejection drugs to prevent their bodies rejecting the foreign cells. These drugs have risks with a slightly increased risk of infection and cancer. Other side-effects including higher cholesterol and mouth ulcers. The tactic doesn't work on type 2 diabetes, says Dr. Senay, because it's a different disease. In your body, people lack the cells to produce insulin, hence the need for the cell transplant. But, type 2 diabetics have their islet cells and are often creating their own insulin. Dr. Senay says the kind of 2 diabetes problem is the insulin is resistant in other places. The technique will need to be perfected and approved before it might be widely available. Dr. Senay says few places on the globe are testing the technique and only a handful of U.S. centers were involved in this initial study. Researchers also point out that a shortage of donor pancreatic cells is a potential stumbling block for the future. Islet cells should be extracted from cadaver donors, and organ donors are in very short supply. There's not enough organs to supply everyone with type 1 diabetes.
