إن شاء الله تعجبكم

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.


ليلى

أُحـِب من الأسمـاء مـا وافق اسمها **** أو أشبهــه أو كــان منه مدانيـا

على مثل ليلي يقتُلُ المرءُ نفسه **** وإن كنت من ليلى على اليأس طاويا

Dear Subscriber:

In honor of spring, this week's poem of the week is about roses and love.

Yours,
Nick Gordon

Roses symbolize unbridled passion.
Of beauty born, they burn with hungry fire.
So may lovers melt their self-obsession,
Each merging in a maelstrom of desire,
Swept into a better world and higher.

Diabetes drug Rezulin taken off market due to safety concerns
March 22, 2000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Rezulin, which once was cheered as offering new hope for some diabetes patients, has been withdrawn from the market after being linked to at least 61 deaths from liver poisoning.

The Food and Drug Administration requested the drug be removed Tuesday. The agency said the drug's manufacturers, Parke-Davis/Warner-Lambert of Morris Plains, New Jersey, agreed to the action.

Rezulin was prescribed for type 2, or adult onset, diabetes patients who had not responded to other therapies. It was used by about 750,000 Americans.

A frequent critic of the FDA, Dr. Sidney Wolfe, said the drug should have been taken off the market long ago. He described Rezulin as "one of the most dangerous drugs" on the market.

According to an FDA announcement, a review of recent safety data showed that Rezulin was more toxic to the liver than two newer drugs, Avandia and Actos, which have similar action.

"Data to date show that Avandia and Actos, both approved in the past year, offer the same benefits as Rezulin without the same risk," the FDA said.

"We are now confident that patients have safer alternatives in this important class of diabetes drugs," said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

The action comes just days after the FDA announced that at least 61 deaths had been linked to Rezulin and an FDA physician had sent a letter asking Congress to help him persuade agency officials to remove the drug from the market.

Wolfe, director of the Public Citizen Health Research Group, a consumer advocacy group, said Rezulin "should have been long gone."

"The British government took it off the market a long time ago. The question is, why did it take the FDA so long to take it off the market?" said Wolfe.
He said if the agency had acted earlier, some patients would still be alive.

"It is just another example of how low the standards have gotten at FDA," he said.

Rezulin was well-received when it first went on the market in 1997 because it was the only drug available that restored the body's sensitivity to insulin.

Type 2 diabetes develops when the body no longer responds to insulin, a hormone required to process sugar in the blood. Doctors hailed Rezulin because it promised treatment for patients who failed other therapies. Untreated diabetes can cause heart and kidney failure, blindness and other problems.

After Rezulin was on the market, the FDA began receiving reports of patients suffering from liver failure after taking the drug.

The FDA ordered Parke-Davis to put stronger liver toxicity warnings on the drug and an advisory committee recommended that the drug be available to only a select group of patients -- those whose diabetes was not well-controlled by other drugs.

Eventually, at least 61 patients died of liver failure while taking Rezulin and another seven required liver transplants.

Avandia, manufactured by SmithKline Beecham, and Actos, made by Takeda Pharmaceuticals and marketed by Eli Lilly & Co., were approved last year as alternative drugs to Rezulin. The agency said Tuesday that after nine months on the market, it is clear that the newer drugs "have less risk of severe liver toxicity than Rezulin."

"Continued use of Rezulin now poses an unacceptable risk to patients," said Woodcock.

The FDA said patients now taking Rezulin should contact their doctors and discuss alternative treatments.
