CHMP Recommends 'Januvia(R)'(sitagliptin), From MSD, For Restricted First Line Use In European Union
Merck & Co., Inc. (Whitehouse Station, N.J., U.S.A.), which operates in many countries as Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD), has received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency"s (EMEA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) recommending restricted first line use of "Januvia" (sitagliptin) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. With this positive opinion, the CHMP recommends that sitagliptin be indicated to improve glycaemic control when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycaemic control and when metformin is inappropriate due to contraindications or intolerance. If this opinion is accepted by the European Commission, sitagliptin will be the only diabetes treatment in the DPP-4 inhibitor class to have a restricted first line indication.

The UGR Hill House The First Research Laboratory To Study Risk Conducts When Driving Motorcycles

The University of Granada will house the first European research centre on teenagers" mental mechanisms when driving motorcycles and carrying out risk conducts, which could be helpful, in a near future, to modify and avoid them. The Faculty of Psychology will house three state-of-the-art simulators there was already one at the UGR so far- that will be useful to do research into these mechanisms, thanks to an agreement signed with the company Honda Motor Co. (Europe); the University will become one of the most important centres around the world in this subject. The new simulators, equipped with innovative software developed by Honda, will arrive to the University of Granada in a few days. They will be used by the research group supervised by professors Andrés Catena Martínez, José Juan Cañas Delgado, Antonio Maldonado LÃöpez and Antonio Cándido Ortiz, of the Department of Experimental Psychology and Behaviour Physiology, to measure risk conducts in adolescents aged between 18 and 25. The only accident"s rate which does not decrease According to Leandro Luigi Di Stasi, a member of the research group of Cognitive Ergonomics of the UGR, the accidents derived from driving motorcycles "have not decreased in the last years, as has happened with the rest of vehicles", according to the last data provided by the motor club RAAC. In addition, according to the data of the Spanish Traffic Department (DGT) 50% of the accidents with victims take place in urban areas; half of them take place in junctions and most of the victims are men aged between 16 and 25 years old who were driving motorcycles or mopeds, or pedestrians. For this reason, the new research laboratory placed at the UGR "will allow to develop intervention programmes to modify such behaviours", as these simulators "can be used to determine the individual"s emotional state and work on it, connecting the cognitive and emotional systems through the study of their variables". The UGR researchers will use emotional induction techniques in order to modify drivers" mood (this is, "inspiring" them artificially a state of euphoria, sadness or tiredness), and then subjecting him to driving in order to see his reactions.
