There is no convincing evidence that the use of mobile phones damages human health, a “comprehensive” review of scientific evidence said on Thursday.
LONDON (Reuters) – AstraZeneca Chief Executive David Brennan is to step down on June 1 in an abrupt exit after six years in the top job, following rising investor discontent at the company’s performance. Britain’s second-biggest drugmaker has suffered repeated drug development setbacks, stoking fears about its long-term prospects given a complete reliance on prescription medicines at a time when rivals have diversified. …
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Rhoen-Klinikum finance chief Erik Hamann said he had first learned of Fresenius SE’s takeover offer for Rhoen on Thursday morning. Germany’s Fresenius said earlier on Thursday it plans to take over Rhoen for 3.1 billion euros ($4.1 billion) with the backing of Rhoen’s founder, who controls 12.45 percent. The move would make healthcare conglomerate Fresenius by far the largest private-sector operator of German hospitals. ($1 = 0.7585 euros) (Reporting by Andreas Kroener; Writing by Ludwig Burger)
ACCRA (Reuters) – Isiah Anane is barely conscious of the desperate words pouring from his father’s mouth. He is eight months old and struggling to take each breath as his father offers up prayer after prayer over his heaving little body. Even with the oxygen tube going into his nose, Isiah’s lungs are not getting enough oxygen into his blood to sustain him. He has pneumonia, his temperature is dangerously high and the medicines and fluids he’s being given are so far having little impact against the severity of his condition. …
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Germany’s Fresenius SE plans to take over Rhoen-Klinikum AG for 3.1 billion euros ($4.1 billion), making the healthcare conglomerate by far the largest private-sector operator of German hospitals. Fresenius said on Thursday Rhoen-Klinikum’s founder and Chairman Eugen Muench, who controls 12.45 percent of the group’s shares, supports the transaction, but Rhoen said in a separate statement its management would first have to assess the offer before taking a view on its merits. Fresenius, which controls dialysis specialist Fresenius Medical Care, is offering 22. …
ACCRA (Reuters) – When Odei Antwi-Agyei had the chance of introducing vaccines to prevent Ghana’s children dying of diarrhea, or vaccines to stop them dying of pneumonia, he did what no African immunization chief has done before. He said he’d do both at the same time. The logistics of such a plan are enormous even in a relatively small country of 24 million people. Just keeping the stockpiles of vaccines cool is tough in a tropical nation where average daytime temperatures are 30 degrees Celsius and rural electricity supplies are not reliable. …
(Reuters) – Indian drugmaker Strides Arcolab said its unit acquired a U.S. compliant sterile drugs manufacturing plant for 1.25 billion rupees ($23.76 million), a move aimed at expediting commercialization of new products. The plant, acquired from Star Drugs and Research Labs, can make up to 97 million vials every year, it said. Shipments to the United States from the new plant will begin from the third quarter of 2012. …
JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia will suspend imports of some types of U.S. beef from Thursday because of a confirmed U.S. case of mad cow disease, Vice Agriculture Minister Rusman Heriawan told Reuters. Major buyers of U.S. beef have said they will continue with U.S. beef imports after a Californian dairy cow was found with the disease, so the partial ban from Indonesia will have little impact. Southeast Asia’s largest economy only accounted for 0.6 percent of U.S. beef exports worth about $17 million in 2011, according to U.S. government figures. …
BRUSSELS/CHICAGO (Reuters) – Major export markets for U.S. beef from Canada to Japan stayed open after the United States reported its first case of mad cow disease in six years amid assurances that rigorous surveillance had safeguarded the food system. U.S. live cattle futures were higher on Wednesday, but only recovered about half of what they lost on Tuesday when the market posted its biggest drop in seven months. U.S. authorities quickly told consumers and importers around the world there was no danger that meat from the infected California dairy cow would enter the food chain. …
