Naloxone and naltrexone are medications that also block the nicotrlo effects of morphine, heroin and other opiates by acting as antagonists at the opioid receptors.
This notice promotes safe practice with these medicines as there have been a number of reports of deaths and harm due to the administration of high dose 30mg or greater ; diamorphine or morphine injections to patients who had not previously received doses of opiates. The alert details actions for the NHS which must be completed by 31st October 2006: 1. Risk assess and have procedures for safely prescribing, labelling, supplying, storing, preparing and administering diamorphine and morphine injections. 2. Review therapeutic guidelines for the use of diamorphine and morphine injectable products for patients requiring acute care, including post-administration observation of patients who have not previously received doses of opiates. 3. Update information concerning the safe use of diamorphine and morphine injectable products as part of an ongoing programme of training for healthcare staff on medication practice. 4. Ensure that naloxone injection, an antidote to opiate-induced respiratory depression, is available in all clinical locations where diamorphine and morphine injections are stored or administered. What this means in practice: Separate storage locations such as cupboards, shelves, bags or boxes should be used for low strength products used for bolus administration in acute care, and high strength products used to prepare infusions. GPs should not keep both low strengths e.g. 5 and 10mg ampoules, and high strengths eg. 20 and 30mg in their bags Awareness of the similarities of packaging of different strengths of these injectable products should be raised. Multidisciplinary procedures for the safe prescribing, labelling, supplying, storing, preparing and administering of all diamorphine and morphine injections should be updated. Where possible, the use of a second person to provide an independent check to confirm the identity of the drug, strength, dose to be administered and expiry date of the diamorphine and morphine product is recommended to help minimise the risk of error. Ensure that diamorphine and morphine ampoules are adequately labelled and differentiated. Unpackaged ampoules should not be stored or transported and should always be placed within a well-labelled outer carton or box. Following a first intravenous dose of diamorphine or morphine, patients should be observed for the first hour. This should be stated in a therapeutic guideline. Naloxone injection must be carried in GPs' bags. Change in legal status for Naloxone In a separate but related development, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency MHRA ; consulted on a proposal to add naloxone to the range of prescription only medicines which can be administered parenterally by anyone for the purpose of saving life in an emergency" and this was approved in July 2005. However, in practice, the availability of naloxone is limited so advance routine `stock' supply outside of hospital settings is currently not possible. Within SH & WD area community based teams risk assessments must be conducted on an individual patient basis and if required advance naloxone supplies must be obtained against individual named prescriptions. In the event that supply issues are resolved we may be able to revisit this and provide routine `emergency' stocks which could be administered in accordance with a clinical protocol in the future. What does this mean in practice? 1. Naloxone can be prescribed to an individual to carry on their person and another person could administer the naloxone in an emergency to that individual, in a similar way to which adrenaline e.g. epipen ; can to be administered in treating e.g. nut allergy reactions. 2. Local legal advice would need to be sought, where naloxone is prescribed for someone, to ascertain liability where a member of the public administers naloxone to a third person. 3. The legal classification of naloxone remains unchanged; it is still a Prescription Only Medicine [POM]. Therefore a person would only be in lawful possession if it has been supplied them against a legally valid prescription, or via a patient group direction. Therefore, unless prescribed for individual patients by a practitioner, it could not be supplied, for example, as part of a needle exchange scheme. There are no plans to produce a PGD in Devon for nalaxone, but once general availability can be assured a clinical protocol will be produced for use by HC professionals. 4. As naloxone is a prescription only medicine, it cannot be supplied to drug workers as they would have no authority to be lawfully supplied with a POM. 5. Good practice would be to ensure all staff, who are likely to come into contact with people who may overdose on opioids, are trained in basic first aid.

Recommendation VI-4.2.11: We recommend that the Forest Service monitor populations of nonindigenous plant species. Invasive, non-indigenous plants are a major concern. They can displace native species and overwhelm a habitat in a short period of time. Establishment of exotic species usually implies that habitats have been disturbed or are not healthy Fiedler and Leidy 1987 ; . We recommend that the Forest Service include non-indigenous species as part of their monitoring program.

The integrated nature of the Group's worldwide operations, involving significant investment in research and strategic manufacture at a limited number of locations, with consequential cross-border supply routes into numerous end-markets, gives rise to complexity and delay in negotiations with revenue authorities as to the profits on which individual Group companies are liable to tax. Disagreements with, and between, revenue authorities as to intra-Group transactions, in particular the price at which goods should be transferred between Group companies in different tax jurisdictions, can produce conflicting claims from revenue authorities as to the profits to be taxed in individual territories. Resolution of such issues is a continuing fact of life for GlaxoSmithKline. The Group has open issues with the revenue authorities in the USA, UK, Japan and Canada. By far the largest relates to Glaxo heritage products, in respect of which the US Internal Revenue Service IRS ; and UK Inland Revenue have made competing and contradictory claims. GlaxoSmithKline has attempted to settle the US dispute, first through direct discussion with the IRS and subsequently through discussions between the US and UK authorities under the terms of the double tax convention between the two countries and discussions were terminated in July 2003. On 6th January 2004, the IRS issued a Notice of Deficiency for the years 1989-1996 claiming additional taxes of .7 billion. On 2nd April 2004 the Group filed a petition in the US Tax Court disputing the IRS claim and seeking a refund of billion in taxes. On 25th January 2005 the IRS issued a further Notice of Deficiency for the years 1997-2000 claiming additional taxes of .9 billion. If the IRS claims for the years 1989-2000 were upheld, the Group would additionally be liable for interest on late payment, estimated to amount to .0 billion net of federal tax relief at 31st December 2004, giving a total of .6 billion for the years 1989-2000. The Group expects to file a petition against the tax claims for 1997-2000 in April 2005, including a further claim for refund of taxes, and will ask the Tax Court to consolidate the IRS claims for all the years 1989-2000 into a single trial. A provisional trial date for the 1989-1996 claims has been set for October 2006. As similar tax issues remain open for 2001 to date, GlaxoSmithKline expects to receive further substantial claims by the IRS for these years. GlaxoSmithKline continues to believe that the profits reported by its US subsidiaries for the period 1989 to date, on which it has paid taxes in the USA, are more than sufficient to reflect the activities of its US operations. GlaxoSmithKline is in continuing discussions with the Inland Revenue in respect of UK transfer pricing disputes. GlaxoSmithKline uses the best advice in determining its transfer pricing methodology and in seeking to manage transfer pricing issues to a satisfactory conclusion and, on the basis of external professional advice, continues to believe that it has made adequate provision for the liabilities likely to arise from open assessments. However, there continues to be a wide difference of views between the Group, the IRS, the Inland Revenue and other relevant taxation authorities where open issues exist. The ultimate liability for such matters may vary from amounts provided and is dependent upon the outcome of litigation proceedings and negotiations with the relevant tax authorities. Except as shown in this Annual Report, no provision has been made for taxation which would arise on the distribution of profits retained by overseas subsidiary and associated undertakings, on the grounds that no remittance of profit retained at 31st December 2004 is required in such a way that incremental tax will arise. At 31st December 2004, the Group had income tax losses of approximately 385 million 2003 225 million ; and capital losses estimated to be in excess of 10 billion 2003 in excess of 10 billion ; on which the related deferred tax assets are not recognised because there is insufficient evidence that these losses will be used.

Study design. A double blind, placebo-controlled design was used, so that four tests were performed with each subject, using combinations of oral DMI or placebo and iv naloxone or placebo. The order of the tests was randomized. Tests were performed a minimum of 1 week apart to obviate any carryover effect. All tests were performed in the afternoon, with oral DMI given after 1100 h. Subjects were fasted, except for water intake, from 0900 h. DMI 75 mg; 25-mg tablets; Pertofran, Ciba-Geigy, Pendle Hill, Australia ; or placebo was given under supervision 180 min before naloxone injection. Naloxone hydrochloride 125 pg kg BW; 0.4 mg mL; Narcan, Boots, North Rocks, Australia ; was given by iv injection over 90 s. The time of naloxone injection was set at 0 min. Before -60 min, iv cannulas were inserted in each arm; one for naloxone injection, and the other with a three-way tap for blood sampling. The patency of both cannulas was ensured with a slow 0.9% saline infusion, administered at a rate sufficient to replace the blood sampled during the test. Sampling for ACTH and cortisol took place at -60, -45, -15, 0, 10, 15, 20, and 120 min. The studies were performed in a quiet air-conditioned room. Subjects were not permitted to sleep. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured at each blood sampling point with a Dinamap automatic monitor Critikon, Tampa, FL ; . The subject's subjective condition and any side-effects were recorded by a research nurse blinded to the content of the oral medication or iv injection.

Gaithersburg, Md. Dec. 7, 2006 - Cordis Corporation stated to an advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA ; that analysis of its research on the CYPHER Sirolimuseluting Coronary Stent suggests a need for additional education on anti-platelet therapy regimens for bare-metal and drug-eluting stent patients and further research to understand safety factors. Further, Cordis committed to support efforts by the clinical community, medical societies and industry to achieve these goals. The company's conclusions are based on an independent analysis of long-term clinical data for the CYPHER Stent that was presented today. This independent analysis, conducted and presented by the Harvard Clinical Research Institute, confirmed that the safety and clinical benefits of the CYPHER Stent extend out to four years. The data, based on four randomized controlled clinical trials, suggested that there was no significant difference in the incidence of thrombosis between the CYPHER Stent and bare-metal stents. "We are actively engaged in a global, multi-faceted approach that includes clinical evidence and education to serve patients and the doctors that treat them, " said Campbell Rogers, M.D., Chief Technology Officer, Cordis Corporation. "Cordis will continue to work with the medical community to educate and inform physicians and patients about contributing factors to thrombosis with drug-eluting stents and methods to reduce this risk." Since the initiation of the first pivotal clinical trial in support of product approval for the CYPHER Stent, Cordis has included stent thrombosis as a clinical endpoint and continues this approach to further advance understanding of this clinical challenge. In October, the company announced a study of the multiple factors that may lead to the condition and potential benefits of medical regimens. A patient registry, currently underway in Europe and Asia Pacific, will now extend to the U.S. and will include a prospective randomized subset of 15, 000 patients. This expanded registry will evaluate a variety of safety and efficacy measures, including the need for repeat procedures target lesion revascularization ; , major adverse cardiac events such as heart attack and death, instent blood clots stent thrombosis ; , as well as detailed information about the use of dual antiplatelet therapy. Additionally, the company announced at that time that it would extend follow up to eight years the SIRIUS, E-SIRIUS and C-SIRIUS clinical trials, which were each originally designed to end after.

Norwich Hospital back in 1995. Until now, staff who transferred to Serco have had the benefit of `Whitley' pay rises and improvements in the wake of the transfer. Many UNISON members saw AfC as a chance to get equal pay with their colleagues in the NHS and to benefit from the new arrangements. However, the DOH says it has no authority to impose AfC on a private contractor even though Serco staff are doing front-line NHS work. Lengthy negotiations with Serco reached a deadlock and the dispute was eventually referred to ACAS for binding arbitration. Most of our UNISON members have worked in the hospital for a considerable number of years and are proud to be part of the NNUH team. This was reflected in the results of a MORI poll which found that most staff who were surveyed said they but had the good judgement to reject the last resort of strike action at our hospital. Without our colleagues in Serco, the finely tuned engine that runs the NHS would soon grind to a halt every member of staff who works in a hospital is just as important as a surgeon or the chief executive. So when you reflect on the outcome of AfC, please spare a thought for your Serco colleagues, who you couldn't do without! Even if you didn't get everything you hoped for, you are still a lot better off than some.
