A three-year-old boy died in his parents' arms after a new NHS computer system failed to schedule him for a vital heart scan, a coroner has ruled. Samuel Starr was born with a congenital cardiac defect and needed surgery not long after he was born in 2010. Although he made a good recovery doctors said he would need regular tests to check on his progress. But he did not have a scan until 20 months after his first major operation because of a delay following the introduction of a new computer system, Cerner Millennium. When he finally had the appointment doctors found Samuel needed open heart surgery. During the procedure, Samuel had a stroke. A month later, after further complications, he died in the arms of his devastated parents, Catherine Holley and Paul Starr, at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. Ms Holley wept as she told the hearing of the moment she kissed her son goodbye, saying: "He was a kind and gentle boy with a great understanding of the world. "As we read Samuel his favourite stories, he died in our arms." Avon Coroner Maria Voisin, recording a narrative conclusion, ruled the booking system meant Samuel was not seen … Continue reading →

Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 28, 2014 According to http://www.DailyGossip.org, multiple sclerosis is a condition that can be developed by any individual. The disease is formed when the immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers the nerves. A series of remedies can be recommended to patients dealing with this condition. Still, the creator of the Multiple Sclerosis Treatment program reveals that all these remedies are ineffective, as they do not target the real cause of this disease. To find out more about Dr. Gary M Levin's Research and Treatment read the full review: http://www.dailygossip.org/natural-multiple-sclerosis-treatment-review-the-remarkable-ms-cure-7563.

2013 and recent highlights include: 2013 was a strong year for Opexa as we executed on several critical strategic goals for the company. We secured a partnering agreement with Merck Serono, a large pharmaceutical company with a deep understanding of Multiple Sclerosis, advanced on the landmark Abili-T study in Secondary Progressive MS patients and ended the year in a strong financial position, commented Neil K. Warma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Opexa. In 2014, we look forward to completing enrollment in the Abili-T study, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of this year, and exploring other potential disease areas through the utilization of our Precision ImmunotherapyTM platform. The focus of the Company remains fixed on the execution of the Phase IIb study in Secondary Progressive MS patients. Currently, the treatment options for these patients are very limited, so the importance of bringing a safe and effective therapy to market is heightened. If we are successful with the development of Tcelna in the ongoing SPMS trial and Merck Serono exercises its option, Merck Serono would bear the expense of subsequent clinical development of Tcelna in MS. In addition, we believe Opexa would be solidly positioned with the … Continue reading →
