8:37 am
short sighted move as those same studies now lack to vital data for new drugs. that in turn led to incorrect doses. and in some cases severe side effects. in the early 2 thousands, the european medicines agency started calling for at least a new medication to involve sufficient testing among women as well. and those kohls were heated between 10 and 80 percent of test subjects in europe, and now female with their proportion depending on the frequency of the relevant condition among men and women. drug trials and now far more stringent blue pop a pill to shed the pounds a dream for many overweight people. the world health organization estimates that 39 percent of all adults world wide, overweight, good research has have long been looking for an effective drug against obesity. now they may have found an injectable one

elsewhere in the body. the more of us it was us and our cargo, cystic fibrosis is a disease where all of the bodies glands produce excessively thick secretions. and that causes a variety of problems for the organs, especially those in the intestines. for example, which means impaired digestion, another primary organ affected by the disease or the lungs. fin, that is the law. which is why inhaling has been a constant burden for lily as well. right, and it's so annoying. but the 8 year old is also been doing better. she's one of many cystic fibrosis sufferers who've been able to benefit from medication for 2 years now. the 6 young as the movie started the treatment at the age of 6, and we've seen considerable improvement. she now puts on weight properly and is in a far better state to do exercise and sport. and her general condition has really
8:46 am
improved and to fund office. the medication in question is assisted fibrosis trans membrane conductance regulator, c f t, as directly modulate the defective gland channels. they then open improving the transportation of souls and as a result, water, as the mucus becomes more fluid, it can now be removed by the cynthia. unfortunately, the medication that lily is receiving is not effective in the case of all genetic defects that trigger the disease. this applies to between 60 and 70 percent of people with cystic fibrosis. a triple combination of c, f t r was approved for use in germany last fall. it helps in 90 percent of cases and boasts higher effectiveness. studies have shown an improvement in lung functionality, a 70 percent reduction in respiratory infections, as well as significant weight gain. did not send the patient, say it's only now that they notice how stressful their lives had beam was and
8:47 am
especially the breathing. yes. with their breathing now, almost back to normal. their lives to date seem like one long marathon run. they wake up feeling far fresher, and despite now doing twice the amount of work during the day, they don't feel worn out like they used to or plots. and before, when xander was born 28 years ago, there was no promise of any such development. when it unharmed, it had lately my parents were actually told to have a 2nd child because they didn't expect their 1st to live that long. that you say ok, my life expectancy is maybe 30 or 40 years. so some people want to get a move on, while others become withdrawn or the end of amish. that's all it got all the thanks to the new therapy santa's life expectancy is probably close to normal when the damage to her body from the cystic fibrosis has now decreased. so she still clearly remembers the day when she began the treatments on the puzzle fans other still, not that long. 24 hours after ingestion, i noticed all mucous coming out as well. normally it would stick at her and it was

8:51 am
he did this named vocal as well, some plural quinn, a loans are still being sold, others have already been pulled from the market. the problem with the severe side effects has been known since the 1990 s. that's why flor acquittal loans are now advised to be used only as an antibiotic of last resort. only if other antibiotics fail. but this was not adhered to expend forestman and not just him. in the same year, 4200000 patients in germany were prescribed. floral quin, a loans general practitioner stefan peacock is an expert on the severe damage. flora quin alones can cause he now sees patients likes then fullest man every day. each individual case is complex. as there has been no research, and there are no recognized therapies o s had saw his doctor also the greater such strong effects in the patient's rod,
