Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals (P&GP) announced the availability of Asacol HD (mesalamine) delayed-release tablets, which are indicated for the treatment of moderately active ulcerative colitis (UC), a form of inflammatory bowel disease.

Moderately active UC is characterized by tougher symptoms than mildly active UC. Asacol HD is proven to help treat these tougher flares of moderately active UC.

Total Swine Flu A(H1N1) Human Infection Cases Reach 7,447 In The United Kingdom

The Health Protection Agency (HPA), UK, informed yesterday 3rd July, 2009, in its weekly update that the total number of confirmed human cases of Swine Flu A(H1N1) infection has reached 7,447. British health authorities estimate that the figure will be over 100,000 by the end of this summer. The UK government says that it is now moving to a new phase in the current pandemic response - there will be a change to the surveillance information that the HPA will be able to provide in future. To date, the HPA has been carrying out laboratory testing of suspected swine flu infection cases since the onset of the outbreak in April 2009. The HPA"s updates have been based on the total number of positive test results being confirmed through the Centre for Infections and the HPA"s regional network of laboratories. The new policy means that measures to try to contain the pandemic will move to providing suitable treatment to infected people. Nationally, clinicians will from now on rely on patients" signs and symptoms and not on laboratory tests to diagnose swine flu infection. Although a percentage of patients will be tested in order to gather up-to-date data about the virus, the reporting of laboratory confirmations will no longer be an accurate way to record the spread of infection. Total number of confirmed human infections of Swine Flu A(H1N1), 3rd June, 2009 *East of England - 411 *East Midlands - 147 *London - 1939 *North East - 47 *North West - 97 *South East - 598 *South West - 198 *West Midlands - 2582 *Yorkshire & Humber - 143 TOTAL ENGLAND - 6162 *Northern Ireland - 34 *Scotland - 1217 *Wales - 34 TOTAL UK - 7447 Written by Christian Nordqvist Copyright: Medical News Today Not to be reproduced without permission of Medical News Today
