Fra Taiwan, en længe håbet For gennembruddet i kampen mod Alzheimers
Oplysning: Jeg ejer lager i AstraZeneca, et af de selskaber, der nævnes i denne kommentar.
Seks Taiwan-baserede forskere har annonceret, hvad der kan være en længe håbet for gennembruddet i kampen mod Alzheimers sygdom. De har opdaget, at såkaldt statiner, medicin udviklet oprindeligt for at sænke kolesteroltallet, synes at reducere risikoen for demens ved så meget som en fjerdedel.
Team, ledet af Jui-Ming Chen af Asien Universitet i Taichung og Cheng-Wei Chang af Hsing Wu universitetet i Taipei, har netop offentliggjort sine resultater i PLOSONE, en peer-reviewed åben adgang journal af Public Library Science (PLOS).
Det er tidlige dage endnu, selvfølgelig, og det faktum, at statiner er forbundet med en nedsat risiko for Alzheimers kan ikke, de er den kausale agens i forebyggelse.
Ikke desto mindre bidrager resultaterne til en voksende erkendelse af at opdagelsen af statiner udgør en af de vigtigste udviklinger i moderne farmakologiske historie. Opdagelsen blev gjort i begyndelsen af 1970 ' erne af Akira Endo, biokemiker arbejder for Tokyo-baserede Sankyo Company. Endo blev tildelt den prestigefyldte Lasker prisen i 2008.
Udover Sankyo omfatter andre japanske selskaber, der har spillet en central rolle i udviklingen af statiner Nissan kemiske industrier, Kowa lægemidler og Shionogi.
I USA, er de mest almindelige former for statiner lavet af, blandt andre selskaber, Pfizer (under brandname Lipitor), Merck (Zocor) og Bristol-Myers Squibb (Pravachol). Andre versioner er tilgængelige fra schweizisk-baserede Novartis og britisk-baserede AstraZeneca.
Generiske versioner er lavet af Teva af Israel og Ranbaxy i Indien.

I don’t know what kind of lawyer Mr. Kwame Akuffo is, but he eerily appears to be ages behind the times. In the wake of the quite disturbing discovery, via DNA analysis, that the three children that Nii Odartey Lamptey, the former Ghanaian international soccer star, had always believed were his own by his wife Gloria Lamptey, may actually belong to three different men, Mr. Akuffo was reported to have smugly stated that the aggrieved and estranged Mr. Lamptey may well find himself legally charged with “scandalizing his children for the rest of their lives,” simply because the latter had decided to go public with this understandably upsetting scientifically acclaimed revelation of the apparent unchastity of his wife (See “Odartey Lamptey Has Scandalized [His] Kids For Life; May Be Liable For Condoning Marital Fraud – Kwame Akuffo” MyJoyOnline.com/ Modernghana.com 11/29/13).
Any lawyer who can so boldly and foolhardily claim DNA evidence to be mere “expert evidence” in any legitimately constituted court of law in any civilized nation, ought to either have his license to practice immediately revoked or be promptly counseled to seek psychiatric examination. Needless to say, DNA evidence is globally admissible in any worthwhile judicial system as a foolproof scientific evidence in paternity cases. It is also routinely used to establish kinship under various circumstances and for various reasons. Even the DNA of deceased persons is routinely used to establish the kinship and identity of the living.
And so it is rather curious that Mr. Akuffo would so cavalierly presume to either controvert or seriously impugn the validity of any forensic evidence so collected. About the only cases in which DNA evidence may not be judicially sustainable is if the circumstances under which such evidence was collected and analyzed could be forensically proven to have been contaminated either before or during the process of the collection of the evidence in question.
And so far, there is no evidence from any legal representatives of Mrs. Gloria Lamptey’s vehemently challenging the latest scientific evidence, indicating that, indeed, the DNA evidence upon which Mr. Lamptey based the impugnation of the chastity of his wife was, in fact, too contaminated to be credibly held up as foolproof scientific evidence before a court of law. I write from personal experience, believe me.
But even then, the lawyers of the accused woman may have to conclusively prove that Mr. Lamptey knowingly and maliciously used contaminated DNA evidence to publicly impugn the chastity and/or the conjugal fealty of his wife, perhaps in a curious bid to shirking his parental and conjugal responsibilities. A credible scenario would be for attorneys representing Mrs. Lamptey establishing a pretextually clear case of Mr. Lamptey’s having recently struck up an extra-marital affair. So far, Mrs. Gloria Lamptey has only been reported in some media reports to be claiming that her husband is medically infertile, and that it was he who expressly advised her to seek artificial insemination as a viable alternative to his inability to father children. This claim has yet to be either confirmed or denied by the retired soccer great.
At any rate, if, indeed, it turns out that Nii Odartey Lamptey is truthfully accusing his wife of conjugal infidelity, or adultery, in Christo-Biblical parlance, then, of course, the question of him having “scandalized his hitherto presumed children” clearly becomes a non-issue. At best, the only recourse for remediation would be for all the parties involved to promptly seek psychological counseling, with Mrs. Lamptey coming to terms with the imperative need for her to determine the identities of the biological fathers of each of her three children, if it turns out that she had been “inseminated” with the sperm of more than one “donor,” assuming her reported media allegation of the preceding contains any iota of validity.
Since we as yet do not know the full details of the reasons and/or causes that might have prompted Mr. Lamptey to subject his hitherto presumed children to a DNA examination and verification of kinship, we can only reasonably conclude, and perhaps even partially concur with Mr. Akuffo, that at the worst, the renowned former soccer star has an obligation to explain to a stunned and bewildered Ghanaian public, precisely why it took him twenty protracted years to realize that his legitimately wedded wife was, after all, “a gold-digging demimonde,” in American parlance.
If he can convincingly prove to both the bemused Ghanaian public and a court of law that he had absolutely no way of knowing that Mrs. Gloria Lamptey had been cheating on him and, by logical extension, routinely flouting their conjugal vows for the two decades that they presumably shared one matrimonial bed, then, of course, his now publicly humiliated and estranged wife may be in deep trouble, at least in terms of the divvying up of wealth and property acquired while the marriage lasted.

Five Years On, Japan Eyes Recovery from Crisis
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has put Japan back on the minds of global investors, as his policy mix of drastic monetary easing and fiscal stimulus has raised expectations that the economy may finally be exiting 15 years of deflation.
But the move also marks a belated departure from traditional policy measures that had failed to get the world’s third-largest economy out of the ditch it fell into five years ago following a global financial crisis.
The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 shook Japan’s economy by its core. While losses suffered by Japanese financial institutions were marginal compared to their U.S. and European peers, the fall in international trade deprived the country of its main growth driver: exports.
The Japanese economy shrank 12.4% in the October-December period of 2008 in annualized terms, and then posted a record 15.0% drop in the following three months—far worse than the U.S., the epicenter of the crisis. Japanese exports fell an average 37% a month between November 2008 and October 2009. Exports took an extra hit from the yen’s sharp rise, as investors unwound years worth of so-called yen carry trade of borrowing and selling the yen for investments in higher-yielding instruments in other currencies.
The downturn quickened the fall of Japan’s standing in the international arena. China overtook Japan as the world’s second-largest economy in 2010, just as the center of global economic-policy making was shifting from the Group of Seven nations–where Japan is the only Asian member–to the G-20, where Japan is overshadowed by emerging nations including China.
And the financial crisis exacerbated the weaknesses of the economy that had for years failed to overcome growth-stunting price falls and build itself on strong domestic demand. The traces of the damage are still seen today.
While the country’s real GDP finally returned to its pre-crisis level in the April-June quarter of this year on the back of strong consumption induced by Mr. Abe’s policy, industrial production and business investment still stand below where they had were before the crisis.
Japan’s policy response to the 2008 crisis received little kudos.
Taro Aso, the prime minister at the time and now finance minister, compiled a record stimulus package worth over Y15 trillion, but its emphasis on infrastructure projects led to calls for eliminating wasteful public spending.
The Bank of Japan also came under fire for what critics said was a too-timid response. While the signs of a global crisis began to surface in the summer of 2007, the BOJ waited until the end of October 2008 to cut its policy rate. And when the bank finally moved, it only opted for a smaller-than-usual 0.2 percentage point cut–at a time when other central banks were taking more bold action, such as cuts of one full percentage point.
Some key elements of Abenomics, notably structural reform measures, are still being worked out. But by appointing a new BOJ governor who drastically stepped up monetary easy through a doubling of bond purchases, and seeking to accelerate business activity through corporate tax cut rather than pork-barrel spending, Mr. Abe has managed to raise optimism that Japan’s economy may finally recover fully from the impact of the financial crisis.
The Bank of Japan’s aggressive easing policy has pushed up asset prices, with the benchmark Nikkei stock average standing above 14,400 recently, against around 12,200 in September 2008. By pouring more money into the economy, the yen has also fallen from record highs marked after the crisis. While still stronger from its value of around Y107 to a dollar before the crisis, at just above Y99, the Japanese currency is well off the record high of Y75.32 marked in October 2011.
For Japanese financial institutions, which had kept a relatively low profile after its own banking crisis in the late 1990s, the 2008 financial crisis provided an opportunity to shine.
In the wake of the Lehman failure, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. Japan’s biggest bank, decided to spend $9 billion to buy a 20% stake in Morgan Stanley, which was desperately in need of cash at that time.
While the deal was viewed with skepticism given the differences in their corporate cultures and wage structures, it seems to have worked out for MUFG.
One of the three ventures they have set up since–a loan-marketing business in New York–has helped MUFG take advantage of Morgan Stanley’s network and win financing opportunities. The alliance helped push MUFG’s rankings up in the project finance and syndicated loans league table globally.
Nomura Holdings Inc., Japan’s biggest brokerage, made an even bolder move and took over Lehman’s operations in Asia and Europe, with an ambition to join the group of top global investment banks.
But Nomura’s move has produced mixed results. When it signed the deal, it hired more than 8,000 ex-Lehman staff, some with hefty pay packages. This would later hit Nomura’s profitability, forcing it to ramp up cost-cutting. Although there are now only a few senior former Lehman bankers left at Nomura globally, the brokerage continues to struggle to generate profits overseas.
Koji Nagai, who took the helm of Nomura in August last year, said the deal can’t be viewed as a success, but the purchase of Lehman operations boosted Nomura’s brand, making it easier for the firm to attract talented bankers.

Advertentie in de Greens' pakket is $750 miljoen te verdelen tussen de primaire financiële instellingen waaronder de Australië Research Council en de National Health en Medical Research Council.
Indirecte kosten die verband houden met gezondheid en medisch onderzoek ook in aanmerking kunnen komen voor het lieve sommetje van $141 miljoen, terwijl onderzoekers zouden kunnen werken bij langere perioden toekennen van vijf jaar. De gemiddelde levensduur van een subsidie is drie jaar, wetenschappers en onderzoekers beweren bevordert onzekerheid en mogelijkheden om samen te werken met het bedrijfsleven.
De wetenschap en onderzoek pakket werd gelanceerd op de Walter en Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research in Parkville door Groenen plaatsvervangend leider Adam Bandt, in de federale zetel van Melbourne.
