--$193 million UMDNJ bonds, 2002 series A.

Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine Recognizes Class of 2013

Posted on by

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (RUSVM) marked its 47th commencement ceremony today at the Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, New York. Mr. Clinton Lewis, Jr., executive vice president and president, U.S. operations at Zoetis (formerly Pfizer Animal Health) delivered the keynote address.

RUSVM conferred the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree on more than 280 graduates during the commencement ceremony, which marked the end 2012-2013 academic year.

Lewis encouraged graduates to stay focused on advancing the profession of veterinary medicine. He emphasized the role of veterinarians across fifty-plus professional areas of concentration, from research and development to corporate veterinary medicine to non-governmental agencies.

The profession and the broader world needs ambitious, determined practitioners and there are a myriad of opportunities across the country and around the world, said Lewis. I see the future of veterinary medicine as very bright and full of opportunities but you need to see it and seize it.

Lewis oversees the management of the livestock and companion animal businesses in the United States and is also responsible for leading the global genetics business for Zoetis. Zoetis is a global animal health company dedicated to supporting veterinarians and livestock producers who raise and care for farm and companion animals. Lewis said that Zoetis is committed to better understanding and addressing real-world challenges faced by those who raise and care for animals.

The partnership between Ross and Zoetis has been positive, collaborative and focused on advancing your training and the profession, said Lewis to the RUSVM graduates.

Dr. Elaine Watson, RUSVM dean, encouraged the graduates to explore the many opportunities available to them in veterinary medicine and understand the importance of human dependence on animals.

Veterinarians are central in ensuring the health and well-being of our planet. Challenge yourself in new directions and look for ways to connect varying disciplines and societal gaps. Do not limit yourself by conventional thinking, said Watson. Connecting people, animals and the environment provides a unique platform to understand the interdependence of all species.

RUSVMs graduating class includes students from 43 different states, Canada, Puerto Rico, and other international locations. The Right Honorable Dr. Denzil Douglas, Prime Minister of St. Christopher and Nevis, where RUSVMs campus is located, joined members of RUSVM faculty and leadership at the ceremony.

India: Thousands Queue For Secret Fish Medicine That 'Cures Asthma'

Posted on by

A man prepares to swallow a live fish that has been dipped in homemade medicine as people crowd for their turn in a camp in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad June 8, 2013 (Reuters)

Thousands of asthma sufferers from all across India descended on Andhra Pradesh state on Saturday 8 June to await their dose of a controversial herbal medicine, which is taken along with a live small fish.

The herbal medicine, whose ingredients have been kept secret for centuries, is being distributed over the weekend by the Bathini Goud family, across 32 special counters at a large exhibition ground.

The family, which administers the yellow paste-like medicine to patients free of charge, claims that taking the medicine for three consecutive years can cure asthma.

Before distributing the medicine, the Goud family performs set rituals.

Though the medicine is considered more effective when taken with a live fish, vegetarian patients take it with jaggery, or unrefined sugar.

Thousands of people attend the medical giveaway each year, even though the treatment is not proven to be effective.

"I have come here for the second time. It has given some relief and I hope it will cure the problem," said Ramakrishna Reddy, a patient from Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, according to a report in First Post.

The Goud family claims the recipe for the herbal medicine comes to them from an ancestor who received it from a saint in the year 1845 and made him promise to administer it free of charge.

Some groups claim that the family's claims are unscientific and superstitious, and laboratory tests have failed to prove its efficacy, though the medicine is not harmful either.
