"Surveys support that assessment. The idea that one of Germany’s most respected companies – the inventor of aspirin, no less – could join hands with a company infamous for its aggressive treatment of the farmers who must rely on its seeds has sparked outrage in some quarters.
There is no shortage of dirt in Monsanto’s 115-year history for campaigners to throw at the deal. It had a hand in the creation of the atomic bomb, the manufacture of the environmentally disastrous pesticide DDT and the Agent Orange herbicide used by the US Army in the Vietnamese jungle, causing birth defects."

Uso off-label de anti-depressivos justifica aumento explosivo do uso?
Estudo usou campo de BD que indica o motivo da prescrição.
A lista dos 8 principais usos off-label está no estudo (inclui insónias, ansiedade, enxaqueca e outras "parvoíces").
Detalhes:
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/reasons-people-are-taking-antidepressants_us_57472146e4b03ede441411a6
Outro dado "precioso" é que o uso pediátrico é off-label. Citando:
"Many off-label uses are backed by scientific evidence from clinical trials, just not full government approval, as the list above demonstrates. Off-label drug use is also common in certain populations, especially among children, because most drugs prescribed to pediatric patients were never tested in children. This makes many pediatric prescriptions necessarily off-label."

"The FDA has set up a debate among outside experts over Sanofi’s ($SNY) combo diabetes drug LixiLan today by raising a series of red flags over potential safety issues that could arise if the combination is allowed to reach the market.
In particular, regulatory insiders say that Sanofi’s proposed dose range for the combo, a mix of Lantus and lixisenatide--now dubbed "iGlarLixi"--would likely create some confusion over dosing among physicians, as well as expose some patient groups to adverse risks. The regulator's docs also noted the clear possibility that the final trial data were biased by inadequate dosing of insulin.

"BANISH THOSE BAD MEMORIES:
To forget those negative thoughts coming back to haunt you, try to push out the context of the memory.
For example, if you associate a song with a break-up, listen to the song in a new environment.
Try listening to it as you exercise at the gym, or add to a playlist you listen to before a night out.
This way, your brain will associate with a positive feeling.
If a memory of a scene from a horror film haunts you, watch the same scene during the daytime.
Or watch it without sound but play a comedy clip over the top."

"(...) But it seems power naps might be bad for us. Those, who steal forty winks in the day are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, according to research.
The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, pooled data from nine studies with 112,267 participants. They found those, who took a snooze in the middle of the day were between 13 and 19 percent more likely to have hypertension.
But, when the researchers looked at the association between night-time napping in those who work night shifts, there was not the same link. One study found shift workers, who napped at night actually had a 21 percent reduced risk.
The clinic’s Dr Wisit Cheungpasitporn said, “More research is needed to better understand if the duration of midday sleep, or if diet, exercise, or an underlying medical condition, might be impacting risk.”"
