St. Jude Medical, Inc., STJ

St. Jude Medical, Inc. (NYSE:STJ) applauds the updated class and level of evidence for Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)-guided treatment in the Guidelines on Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) announced Monday at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress in Stockholm. Supporting this change are the very strong one and two year data from the landmark FAME (Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) vs. Angiography in Multivessel Evaluation) trial, which demonstrated improved outcomes for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease whose treatment was guided by St. Jude Medical FFR Measurement Systems rather than by standard angiography alone.

The ESC guidelines, which are intended to assist health care providers in clinical decision making, now classify FFR-guided treatment as “Class I, with level of evidence A.” Level of evidence A is the highest level available, requiring the most clinical evidence, and is awarded only when data has been derived from multiple randomized clinical trials or meta-analyses. Class I indicates a general agreement that a given treatment or procedure is beneficial, useful, and effective.

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is an index determining the functional severity of narrowings in the coronary arteries as measured by PressureWire Certus and PressureWire Aeris. FFR specifically identifies which coronary narrowings are responsible for significantly obstructing the flow of blood to a patients’ heart muscle (called ischemia), and it is used by the interventional cardiologist to direct coronary interventions and assess results for improved treatment outcomes.

St. Jude Medical develops medical technology and services that focus on putting more control into the hands of those who treat cardiac, neurological and chronic pain patients worldwide.

On Thin Ice: The Plight of the Polar Bear

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

By Bobbie Katz, CRWENEWSWIRE Correspondent

polarbear

While hopefully it will be a cold day before it comes to pass, much has been made about the movie “2012,” which depicts the December 21st end of the world via a series of horrific natural – or unnatural, as the case may be – disasters.

But, in reality, for one group, the chill is already gone and it is global warming, attributed to man’s carbon emissions that are destroying the ozone layer, that could be responsible for the end of the world in 2012 – for the polar bear.

The bear facts are that it is the loss of their Arctic sea ice habitat – on which they are totally dependent and which is disappearing due to global warming — that is creating the primary threat to the species. Although polar bears are actually marine mammals (Ursus maritimus) that spend more time at sea than on land, it is on the ice that they make their living. In 2007, rapid sea ice melting caused a record low for the surface area of summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean that was nearly 23 percent below the previous record low in 2005. With the melt encompassing an additional area the size of Texas and Alaska combined – 1 million square feet - it exceeded the projections of most ice models. Based on the melt’s rapidity, one NASA scientist projected that Arctic summer ice could essentially be gone as early as 2012.

As climate change melts sea ice, the U.S. Geological Survey forecasts that two-thirds of polar bears will disappear by 2050. Population sizes are already deceasing; it is estimated by scientists that there are currently 20,000-25,000 polar bears in 19 identified population groups. The retreating of the ice is leaving the remaining ice farther from shore, making it less accessible. Rougher wave conditions, a result of the larger gap between land and ice, are making the bears’ swim from shore to sea more dangerous. In 2004, scientists found four drowned bears in the Beaufort Sea – a scenario never before observed –which was attributed to these conditions. The researchers also suspect that the actual number of drowned bears may be much greater.

The loss of hunting areas is also exacerbating the problem. And it is believed that the shrinking of the polar ice cap will also result in a decline of the polar bears’ main food – seals – which come up through the breathing holes in the ice and are captured by the bears. (They cannot capture the seals in the open sea with no ice.) The ramifications extend throughout the food chain – because of the reduction in ice platforms near the productive areas for the fish the seals eat, the seals’ nutritional status and reproductive rates are being affected.

According to the National Wildlife Federation, from which these facts have come, polar bears are actually fasting, going hungry for longer periods of time, which has caused them to exhibit cannibalistic behavior. While it has been a longtime well-known fact that polar bears will kill for dominance or the males will kill cubs so that they can breed with the female, heretofore biologists had never observed outright predation for food.

Because of the decline of the polar bear’s habitat at sea, in 2007, the U.S. fish and Wildlife Service proposed that the animal be listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. While the Secretary of the Interior did so, he restricted the Endangered Species Act’s protections, leaving the polar bear’s future very much in doubt.

So what is the answer? According to Senior Scientist for the National Wildlife Federation, Doug Inkley, PhD, the solution is Endangered Species Act protection and the halting of oil-gas development, which impacts the polar bears, so that they have a better chance of surviving.

Hopefully, if these things can be done, it will be a cold day – and a green day – before the polar bear will disappear from our view.

Goldman Sachs behind major land grab in Nevada worth billions

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

By Mike Zaman

As the BLM removed the wild mustangs from their Northern Nevada Range land, and opened it up to solar energy companies, one that has NO experience in this area, Goldman Sachs, through one of its subsidiaries, grabbed up nearly half the land. Two GS subsidiaries filed 52 claims, obtaining the rights to more than 123,000 acres.

GS subsidiary Cogentrix Solar Services LLC, which has NO solar experience, has a pending application for 13,440 acres on one site in northern Nevada and a second site claim for 22,400 acres in the same area.

GS holds a total of 10 out of 123 claims, which cover the 123,000 acres, half of the land the BLM plans to lease for solar energy production in the state. GS has not begun any of these projects. However, the BLM leases, although they cannot be sold outright, can be sold with a sale of the company, and that is where GS latest scam is suspected. These claims could potentially be worth billions!

Is this some payback for the SEC fine levied against GS due to their fraud in dealing with their own investors? Or is this another fraud that has even pulled the wool over the eyes of an agency that already appears to be blind?. Stay Tuned!

In the Midst of one of the greatest bailouts of record consumers receive another slap in the face from the Insurance industry

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

By Mike Zaman

The Health care bill as passed by congress, consumers feel, was a bailout for the insurance industry that had been hit exceptionally hard by the level of foreclosures. Several have already folded or merged.

American workers have been faced with a whopping 14% jump in the costs to insure their families.

A typical employee is paying, as their share of insurance coverage, about $4,000.00 for a family of four, up by $482.00 from 2009. But this is only their part; the employer pays the major portion around $9,800 which brings the full coverage to $14,000.00

Over the past five years, employees share of insurance premiums have risen 47%. And employees could see even higher costs in their plans come open enrollment for 2011.

With mandatory coverage, if it is not declared unconstitutional by the Federal Courts, insurance companies will have a windfall, while consumers will actually have a diminished purchasing power.
