First Ten-Year Follow-Up Shows That Treatment With AVONEX® Leads To Long-Term Benefits In Early Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) announced data results from the CHAMPIONS (Controlled High-Risk AVONEX® (interferon beta-1a) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Prevention Study In Ongoing Neurologic Surveillance) study, an open label follow-up to CHAMPS (Controlled High Risk Subjects AVONEX MS Prevention Study). Based on the CHAMPS study, AVONEX was granted approval for use in patients who experienced their first clinical MS episode with MRI findings. The CHAMPIONS ten-year follow up showed that patients treated immediately after their first episode had significantly less chance of experiencing a second attack versus those patients with delayed treatment. These results at ten years also indicate that 80 percent of patients taking AVONEX were below an expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score of three. These data were presented as a poster at the Annual American Academy of Neurology (AAN) meeting.

International Workshop: Infant Formula Adulteration With Melamine Underscores Need For Better Detection Methods
Following the recent adulteration of infant formula and other milk products with the industrial chemical melamine, the U. S. Pharmacopeial (USP) Convention is holding an international workshop this week to explore better ways to detect deliberately falsified protein content in food ingredients. The presence of false protein can lead to illness and death, as with thousands of Chinese children in the tragic melamine adulteration of infant formula this year and with pets in the United States in 2007. Vulnerabilities in global supply chains for food and drug ingredients allow such adulteration to affect people worldwide, which is what happened in similar instances where toxic diethylene glycol was substituted for the sweetener glycerin in toothpaste and cough syrup. USP is a scientific nonprofit organization that sets official standards for the identity, quality, purity, and strength of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. USP also sets widely recognized standards for the quality and purity of food ingredients and dietary supplements.

The Ozone Man Treats Xaverian High School To Prevent Spread Of Contaminated Swine Flu Within Its Indoor Environments

The Ozone Man, Inc. (OTCBB: OZOM), dba TOMI Environmental Solutions, or TOMIES, announced today the completion of a deep cleaning treatment of Xaverian High School with a student body of 1400 located in Brooklyn, New York. The Ozone Man"s treatment eliminated contaminants including Swine Flu "H1N1" along with inactivating viruses. The Ozone Man"s treatment also eliminates odor, mold spores and kills bacteria in the treated areas. Its proprietary Ultraviolet Ozone Generators produce the cleanest ozone south of the stratosphere, helping to ensure the health, safety and well being of the building and its inhabitants. Dr. Halden Shane, The Ozone Man"s CEO, commented, "We are confident that Xaverian High School chose our company to treat their school because we are the leading company in indoor environmental air remediation and feel that TOMIES Methodology in treatment will become a standard for thousands of schools nationwide. It is well documented that polluted indoor environments hamper students" ability to concentrate, perform up to their potential and triggers asthma and many other health-related illnesses. Our clean ozone system delivers an effective solution to providing a healthy environment for children." Principal of Xaverian High School, Mr. Robert Alesi, stated, "We decided to utilize The Ozone Man service so our students and faculty could be assured that they are breathing the cleanest air possible in our gymnasium and sports facilities. We took our lead from Senator Marty Golden whose leadership in helping to keep buildings in Brooklyn green and clean is to be commended." New York State Senator Martin J. Golden stated, "I thank The Ozone Man for bringing their service to Xaverian High School as part of our commitment to ensuring our students are learning in a safe environment, and enabling us to remove the uncertainty that has prevailed in schools across the country under the cloud of "swine flu". This service will go a long way in making sure that our schools and businesses are the cleanest of environments. I thank Xaverian High School for their leadership efforts in the community for having this service at the school." Mr. Dennis Canale, the school"s Building Manager, stated, "In light of the recent swine flu outbreaks we felt that a deep indoor air remediation of our air ducts and rooms in the sub-basement would keep Xaverian staff and students safe from potential contamination issues."
