North American Nuclear Medicine/Radiopharmaceuticals & Stable Isotopes Market – Forecast to 2017

DUBLIN, June 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cmbgcv/north_american) has announced the addition of the "North American Nuclear Medicine/Radiopharmaceuticals & Stable Isotopes Market [SPECT/PET Radioisotopes (Technetium, F-18)], [Beta/Alpha Radiation Therapy (I131, Y-90)], [Applications (Cancer/Oncology, Cardiac)] & (Deuterium, C-13) - Forecast to 2017" report to their offering.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )

The North American radiopharmaceuticals market was valued at $1.9 billion in 2012 and is poised to reach $2.7 billion by 2017 at a CAGR of 7.2%.

A study conducted by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates that Tc-99m diagnostic procedures are expected to increase by 15% to 20% in mature markets such as North America between 2010 and 2030. Radiopharmaceuticals in neurological applications such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dementia are also being preferred by practitioners besides conventional treatment. Further, upcoming radioisotopes such as Ra-223 (Alpharadin) and Ga-68 possess huge potential for clinical applications. The scheduled shutdown of the NRU reactor in 2016 in Canada is, however, a major threat for manufacturers.

The therapy market is predominantly driven by its oncologic applications. Since conventional treatment procedures of cancer, surgery and chemotherapy have significant side effects; radioisotopes are being preferred by medical practitioners due to minimum or no side effects. The radiopharmaceutical therapy market is expected to grow significantly with the launch of the much-desired Alpharadin (Ra-223) in the near future. This isotope has tremendous potential to take up market share of beta emitters and brachytherapy.

The U.S. is the dominant market for diagnostic radioisotopes with more than 80% share. The U.S. is the largest consumer market for radiopharmaceuticals in North America, while Canada is one of the largest producers of Tc-99m. Major players in the radiopharmaceuticals market are Cardinal Health, Inc. (U.S.), Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. (U.S.), Nordion, Inc. (Canada), and Triad Isotopes, Inc. (U.S.).

The stable isotopes market was led by two players - Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (CIL) and Sigma Aldrich - in 2012; they jointly contributed more than 90% to the North American revenue.

Vaccine advocate takes on the alternative medicine industry

17 hours ago

APRIL SAUL / INQ PHOTO

Paul Offit, defender of vaccine safety, has written a new book critical of the alternative medicine industry.

Dr. Paul Offit doesnt like getting threats. But the 62-year-old pediatrician at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia says it goes with the territory when taking on powerful industries and interest groups whose beliefs are deeply rooted in emotion.

Hes ready for a tsunami of criticism with his latest foray into debunking popular wisdom Do You Believe in Magic?: The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine in which he takes on the vitamin and herbal supplements industry, alternative medicine of all kinds, Congress and celebrity doctors who peddle their own products. It hits the shelves on Tuesday.

Yes, I do get hate mail, Offit admits. He makes the case that the vitamin industry in particular has successfully lobbied to keep itself unregulated while selling billions of pills to an eager and gullible public. People think of dietary supplements as natural, benign and helpful, Offit told NBC News. People dont think of them as drugs.

Yet studies have shown that not only do vitamin supplements fail to lower cancer risk, but they can actually cause cancer most notably the 1994 Finnish study that found smokers who took beta carotene which the body converts to vitamin A actually had a higher risk of lung cancer than men who didnt take the supplements. Alternative therapies of all kinds are often not only of no benefit whatsoever -- they can be harmful, he notes.

Offit is best known for taking on vaccine doubters people who worry that vaccinations might somehow harm children and whose fears culminated in a wave of support for the argument that childhood vaccines can cause autism. Offit has received death threats and even not-so-subtle telephone threats against his own children after he challenged these ideas in national media; they worsened when he wrote a book, Autisms False Prophets" that not only systematically took down the arguments but sought to expose some of the powerful money-making interests that were driving a supposed grassroots lobby.

But hes challenging a much bigger group this time. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than half of Americans took some sort of dietary supplements in 2003-2006, 40 percent of them multivitamins.

Some are recommended doctors routinely prescribe certain vitamins for pregnant women to prevent birth defects. But too much vitamin A can cause birth defects, so women must be careful. And the Institute of Medicine recently questioned the common practice of prescribing vitamin D for people whose levels are low.

Bloodless Medicine safer and more cost effective for all, experts say

Earlier this spring, Karmina Martinez of Phoenix, Ariz., desperately called hospitals around the country, hoping that one would accept her 14-year-old daughter Jesmina, who needed a large, painful ovarian mass removed.

CARMINE GALASSO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Dr. Aryeh Shander and Sherri Ozawa have helped advance bloodless medicine and surgery at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center.

None would admit her. The reason?

Jesmina and her family are Jehovah's Witnesses, a religious group whose members, some 1 million strong in the U.S., cannot accept blood transfusions, and there was a chance that Jesmina, at least according to the family's local hospital, might need a transfusion during surgery.

Karmina kept dialing. Finally she reached Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, specifically its 19-year-old Institute for Patient Blood Management and Bloodless Surgery, which agreed to treat her daughter.

"It meant so much you can't imagine," Karmina confided. "We prayed so much to find a way not to go against God's commandments. When we found the Institute, we collapsed crying." A few weeks after Jesmina underwent "bloodless" surgery in Englewood, the teen attended her junior high school graduation.

As data mount showing that blood transfusions are not only costly (on average, $1,200), have higher rates of complications (e.g., allergic reactions and other worrisome immune responses) and, according to Dr. Aryeh Shander, a clinical professor of anesthesiology at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine and executive medical director of Englewood's bloodless program, aren't necessary "40 to 60 percent of the time," a growing number of doctors today argue that bloodless techniques should be brought into mainstream medicine.

A 2012 Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine study published in the journal Anesthesiology found that doctors vary dramatically in deciding when a blood transfusion should be ordered. According to Dr. Steven Frank, leader of the study, many doctors are ordering blood transfusions prematurely or unnecessarily. "Anytime there is such a large variation in a practice, there's probably room for improvement," he said. "There's more overuse of transfusions than underuse."

Indeed, at last October's annual American Medical Association conference, a group that convened to discuss improving health-care practices and procedures determined that blood transfusions are one of the top five overused medical treatments.

Lullaby Medicine for Premature Babies

Something as old as mankind itself is helping keep preterm babies alive the lullaby.

Research finds that music has become an important new ally for babies who are born too soon and struggle to breathe and eat.

The neonatal intensive care unit in a hospital is filled with technology that helps keep the hospital's tiniest, most fragile patients alive. At New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell and others across the country the relentless beeping of monitors fades when the music takes over. The effect on preemies is dramatic and physical.

Studies conducted by Dr. Jeffery Perlman, chief of newborn medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian, Komansky Center for Children's Health, find that gentle music therapy not only slows down the heart rate of preemies but also helps them feed and sleep better. This helps them gain weight and speeds their recovery.

A study published in May in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatric under the aegis of the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, found that the type of music matters. Therapeutically designed "live" music -- and parent-preferred lullabies sung in person -- can influence cardiac and respiratory function. They also found that the melodies improved feeding behaviors and may increase prolonged periods of quiet-alert states among premature babies.

Another study published in February 2011 in the Arts in Psychotherapy by Jayne M. Standley of the National Institute for Infant and Child Medical Music Therapy at Florida State University suggests that babies who receive this kind of therapy leave the hospital sooner.

"When they hear something that is very soothing, they adapt to it," Perlman said.

For these tiny babies, music is medicine.

A pair of twins, Jessica and Joshua, were born three months premature. Their dad has been trained by a professional music therapist at the Komansky Center, and now sings to the babies in their NICU cribs in his native Turkish. And he says he has proof that it's working.

"I watched their heart rate," their father said. "You can really watch it go down, 165, 160, 155, 152. It's an amazing feeling."

OSU camp gives students taste of medical school

Ada

A group of high school girls listened closely Thursday as Austin Brookover gave them a brief overview of the heart and its workings.

Brookover, a second-year medical student at Oklahoma State University, sketched a diagram of a heart on a blackboard. As the girls watched, he pointed to each chamber of the heart and explained how it works.

Following the explanation, the girls pressed stethoscopes against a mannequins chest and listened to a simulated heart beat. Meanwhile, Brookover told the girls they needed to learn to distinguish a normal heartbeat from an abnormal one.

If you dont know the normal, youre not going to be able to hear the abnormal, he said.

Fifty-four teenagers got a taste of medical school as part of OSUs Operation Orange, a summer camp that encourages high school students to pursue medical careers. East Central University hosted the event, which allowed the group to meet medical students, ask questions and participate in demonstrations.

The demonstrations gave students a chance to listen to a patients heart and lungs, check blood pressure and perform other tasks.

During one session, a small group of high school students donned latex gloves before reaching into tubs filled with water which contained a brain, a spinal cord and other organs. As they moved closer for a better look, the teens asked the medical students questions about the organs color, size and other issues.

Anish Bhakta, a second-year medical student at OSU, held a heart in one hand as he pointed to a small patch of green on one chamber.

You guys see the green? Those are stitches, he said. This guy had surgery multiple surgeries.

Get first look at new UT medical school

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Your tax dollars will help pay for a major medical endeavor in Austin: a medical school for the University of Texas.

The location of the teaching hospital will be next to the Frank Erwin Center and the existing University Medical Center Brackenridge, where officials unveiled the first renderings of the medical school Tuesday.

Construction begins next year, with completion expected in 2017.

Not only will this school teach future doctors but it also gives the community a host of medical providers who will work in the community as training.

The teaching hospital and medical school are expected to bring 15,000 jobs, aside from those in construction.

In-Depth: Dell donates $50 million to school

The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation announced in late January that the organization is committing $50 million to help establish the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin.

In November 2012, Travis County voters approved Proposition 1, which raised property taxes as the main source of revenue to support health care services in the area.

In addition to the $50 million, the Dell family foundation is donating another $10 million to community health quality and access programs throughout the next 10 years.

The Dell foundation was established in 1999. Since then, the organization has helped fund the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas, as well as numerous other health services across Central Texas.

Kabel Deutschland confirms preliminary offer from Liberty Global

(Reuters) - Kabel Deutschland - Germany's biggest cable operator - confirmed on Monday that they have received a preliminary approach from U.S. media group Liberty Global Plc after a British newspaper reported that the company had put forward a 7.5-billion-euro bid for the company.

Kabel Deutschland did not provide any details of the proposal.

A spokesman for Liberty Global confirmed that the company had made a preliminary approach but declined to comment further.

The Financial Times reported that the offer by Liberty Global, owned by American cable television magnate John Malone, is at about 85 euros per share, citing people familiar with the talks.

Liberty Global's offer sets the stage for a bidding war with Vodafone Group Plc, which last week confirmed that it made an offer to buy Kabel Deutschland but did not provide any details.

Reuters reported on June 14 that Vodafone, the world's second-biggest mobile operator, was considering raising its offer for Kabel Deutschland after an initial 7.2 billion euro bid was knocked back by Kabel Deutschland.

Liberty Global, which operates as Unity Media in Germany, is the number two cable operator in the country and a potential offer would meet scrutiny from competition authorities.

Liberty Global bought UK's Virgin Media in February in a cash and stock deal that valued Virgin's equity at $15.8 billion.

Liberty Mutual Hires Citigroup’s Dowling in Washington

Liberty Mutual Holding Co., the third-largest seller of property-casualty coverage in the U.S., hired Colin Dowling to lead its public affairs office in Washington as policy makers weigh capital standards and laws on terrorism protection.

Dowling joins from Citigroup Inc. (C) where he was a managing director, running state and local government-affairs programs, according to a Business Wire statement today from Boston-based Liberty Mutual.

U.S. and international lawmakers are scrutinizing the balance sheets of the largest financial companies as they seek to avoid a repeat of the 2008 rescues required to prop up banks and insurers such as American International Group Inc. Policyholder-owned Liberty Mutual, which didnt take a bailout from the U.S. Treasury Department, said its government-relations group is also evaluating possible changes in laws about taxes, trade and terrorism.

At a time of increasing convergence of state, federal and international policy initiatives, Colins broad experience at both the state and federal levels and across the insurance and banking sectors, makes him an ideal person to run the Washington office, Paul Mattera, the insurers chief public affairs officer, said in the statement.

Mark Costiglio, a spokesman for New York-based Citigroup, declined to comment.

Vodafone and Liberty face battle for Kabel Deutschland

By Paul Sandle and Sophie Sassard

LONDON (Reuters) - Vodafone faces a battle for Germany's largest cable company, Kabel Deutschland, although rival bidder Liberty Global of the United States has bigger regulatory and funding hurdles to overcome.

Liberty Global, which owns Unity Media, Germany's second biggest cable operator, joined the race on Tuesday. It tabled an 85 euro a share offer, according to a person familiar with the matter, days after the British mobile company said it was in talks about a deal.

Vodafone wants to buy the cable company so that it can offer TV, fixed line and broadband to more of its mobile customers, while Liberty Global wants more consolidation in one of its best performing markets. Vodafone offered about 81-82 euros a share in cash, sources said last week.

Shares in Kabel Deutschland were trading 3.8 percent higher at 85.6 euros by 1010 GMT, valuing the group's equity at 7.56 billion euros ($10.1 billion).

A Liberty Global deal would be closely scrutinized by German anti-trust authorities, a hurdle recognized by Liberty Global's chief financial officer Charles Bracken last week.

He told a Goldman Sachs cable conference on June 12 that while the industrial logic for consolidation in Germany was compelling, regulatory opposition remained a significant barrier to any deal in the near future, the bank said in a note.

Germany's competition regulator in February blocked Kabel Deutschland's bid to take over smaller Berlin-based cable group Telecolumbus for 618 million euros.

A source familiar with the situation said Liberty has already talked to German antitrust office to discuss the deal, but declined to elaborate.

Liberty Global customers in Germany are in the densely populated German state of North Rhine-Westphalia as well as in Hesse and Baden-Wuerttemberg, while Kabel Deutschland is active in the rest of Germany.

Time Warner Cable to Wed Liberty Media?

In case you haven't noticed, there are some serious consolidation efforts going around the cable and telecom industries. On one end, there are satellite TV providers chasing spectrum as if it's the gold rush of 1849. Now, it appears that Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) may be courting Liberty Media (NASDAQ: LMCA) for a merger in an attempt to leverage Charter Communications' (NASDAQ: CHTR) highly coveted network. Let's determine who is the biggest winner in this latest media M&A dance, and where you should be putting your funds.

The playersCharter Communications is not as big a name as, say, Comcast, but it is the fourth-largest cable provider in the United States, at least by market cap. The company was recently beleaguered and underwater financially (entering bankruptcy in 2009), but has since become a market darling, largely fueled by buyout speculation. John Malone's Liberty Media currently holds a 27% position in the company, with the ability to gain as much as 40%.

As a traditional cable operator in a heavily disrupted cable and telecom environment, Time Warner Cable has shown a successful adaptability since being spun off from its parent company. But with major telecoms and tech companies quickly building out high-speed networks that can package TV, Internet, and phone all in one, Time Warner Cable is on the hunt for an affordable way to catch up.

Finally, Liberty Media is a company ripe for merger, according to Malone. The company's strong balance sheet and attractive assets make it a small but valuable firm with a top-notch management team -- especially in the cable space. Prior to Liberty Media, John Malone owned Tele-Communications, which was sold to AT&T and was at one time the largest cable operator in the United States.

Last week, CNBC reported that TWC and Liberty Media had engaged in merger talks, with Charter as a center point of the discussion.

If it happens; if it doesn't happenWhile last week's news had Time Warner up almost 10 points in trading, some analyst doubt on Tuesday brought the heat down a few degrees. The truth is, the merger would make sense for both parties, but would be most beneficial to Time Warner Cable.

The overall winner, however, is Liberty Media. The company is in great shape, with a majority stake in Sirius XM that it can easily make gains from. In addition, the company has a big stake in the world's largest concert promoter, Live Nation, and owns the Atlanta Braves.

Liberty shareholders will get a quick reward in the case of a merger with Time Warner Cable, but I believe capital appreciation and/or a buyout (and thus capital appreciation) will occur regardless of this deal. While Malone has polarized some with a difficult, shark-like business presence, he is without doubt one of the most talented capital allocators in the media industry. Liberty's CEO Greg Maffei is a smart manager as well, having successfully spun off premium cable TV company Starz and significantly rewarded shareholders along the way.

Whether the merger goes through or not, Liberty should be the focus of this trio.

The television landscape is changing quickly, with new entrants like Netflix and Amazon.com disrupting traditional networks. The Motley Fool's new free report "Who Will Own the Future of Television?" details the risks and opportunities in TV. Click here to read the full report!
