In July of this year, Bilbray was one of 29 co-sponsors of a bill that would limit the liability of medical companies if a product has approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Rep. Phil Gingrey, (R-Ga.) who introduced the bill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], employed a cigar club officer as his communications director until recently.
The issue of whether medical companies should be liable for FDA-approved products got nationwide attention in 2007 when actor Dennis Quaid sued Baxter alleging his newborn twins received 1,000 times the correct dose of a blood thinner because the labels on high and low doses of the drug were similar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a problem Baxter had acknowledged. Baxter argued the lawsuit should be dismissed because the FDA had approved the drug and its labels.
The court in Illinois, where Baxter is headquartered,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dismissed the first case. Quaid filed another lawsuit in California this year. Deborah Spak, spokeswoman for Baxter, said the company did not lobby or take a formal position on the legislation Bilbray co-sponsored.
Chaleff said Bilbray supported this bill because the practice of defensive medicine and the ever-increasing costs of liability coverage to doctors put unnecessary costs into our nations health care system.The bill is pending in the House Energy and Commerce Committee. GENEVA: If there's one lifestyle tool that's ubiquitous, from American cities to remote villages of the developing world, it��s the mobile phone.
Can they also be deadly? The frustratingly unresolved debate erupted again this week with the release of a $24 million U.N. study spanning a decade and covering 13 nations that suggests frequent cell phone use may increase the chances of developing rare but deadly form of brain cancer.
Worryingly, since glioma has a potential latency period of a quarter century longer than cell phones have been in widespread use even the study's authors say there is no way yet to tell how big the risk is, if there is one. Experts were nearly unanimous in saying the results of the study are inconclusive. Prof. Bernard Stewart,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a scientific adviser to Cancer Council Australia, said the study tells us little about any risk associated with mobile phone use over decades.
In particular,newport cigarettes,he said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], insufficient time has passed since mobile phones were introduced to determine whether there is a risk in children.Cardis acknowledged that with X-rays and atomic explosions the spike in tumors could take up to 30 years to show up, but said it was unclear whether cell phones have the same effect on the body as those forms of radiation.
Most of the estimated 4.6 billion cell phone subscribers around the world today appear prepared to take the risk even without firm assurances that it's safe. In Copenhagen, student Michaela Vinter, 27, said she wasn't worried about all the studies about the use of cell phone and cancer.
I have heard about this for all the years that I have had a cell phone and I have never heard anything firm about the risk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],she said. The scientists involved in the study plan to publish a comprehensive overview of available research within two years.
