Report On Contaminated Drinking Water At Camp Lejeune
Two chemicals - trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) - found to have contaminated drinking water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune from the 1950s to 1985 have been linked to certain diseases and disorders, including various cancers. A new report from the National Research Council, Contaminated Water Supplies at Camp Lejeune - Assessing Potential Health Effects, reviews scientific evidence about the potential adverse health effects that could occur after exposure to TCE, PCE, and other contaminants; recommends the usefulness of conducting additional studies on former residents of the base; and identifies scientific considerations that could help the U.S. Department of the Navy, under which the Marine Corps operates, set priorities on future actions. The report will be released at a 90-minute public briefing.

"That dynamic helps explain why a $1 trillion-plus health care bill stalled last week in Congress. ̣€¦ Obama has said he wants lawmakers to finish health care by the end of the year, in part because it could become mired in election-year politics. All 435 members of the House and 36 members of the Senate are up for election in 2010."

Radiant Research, Inc. Prepares For Upcoming H1N1 Vaccine Trials

Radiant Research, Inc. announced that it is actively recruiting subjects and establishing operational plans for upcoming H1N1 vaccine trials. The World Health Organization declared the H1N1 influenza outbreak a pandemic, and the CDC has shipped virus samples to several manufacturers with the hope of having vaccine available to the general public by the fall. Manufacturers will need to complete clinical trials prior to release of vaccine to the public. "Our research sites are ideal for this type of clinical trial," said Julie McHugh, Vice President of Late Phase Clinical Research, Radiant Research, Inc. "We have conducted over 200 vaccine trials and enrolled thousands of subjects into these trials in the past five years. We know how to enroll these trials quickly and efficiently, and we enforce the standards that ensure quality data collection." "We have over a million subjects in our database and they are both familiar with the research process and very interested in this type of trial," said Michael Kritschgau, Vice President of Radiant Recruitment. "We are currently making contact with these potential subjects so we can be ready to enroll once the manufacturers are ready to move to the clinical trials stage. We anticipate that companies producing the vaccine will soon be reaching out to various research. Radiant Research, Inc.
