Just got the S & P Outlook publication in which they give a mid-year update and projection for the coming six months. One area they suggest that will do well is the biotech stocks. Mentions the coming number of newly approved drugs and consolidation that will probably take place in the industry. I found it interesting that they expected foreign companies to be a major player in the take-over game. For the right amount of "yen"....I'm game for my 10 shares of XOMA.

Regulation? How does this worm model fit into some of your theories?VBG Read down to what most infections were due to.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.Hunter Holmes McGuire Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Department of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Medical College of Virginia, Richmond, USA. We report the case of a 64-year-old veteran who had Streptococcus bovis meningitis as a result of a long latent Strongyloides infection that became acute when he was treated with prednisone. We reviewed 38 reported cases of serious bacterial infections associated with strongyloidiasis. Patients most frequently had nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms. Of these 38 patients, 21 (55%) had meningitis, and 28 (73%) had bacteremia that was polymicrobial in 3 cases (8%). Other sites of infection included lung, bone marrow, ascites, mitral valve, and lymph node.>>> Most infections were due to enteric gram-negative bacteria.<<<< There is one previously reported case of S bovis meningitis. Thirty-four of the patients (89%) were immunosuppressed; 21 of these (55%) were taking pharmacologic doses of adrenal corticosteroids. Thirty-three of the 38 (87%) patients died. Patients with enteric bacterial infection without an obvious cause should be tested for the presence of strongyloidiasis.
