Eisai will present new trials with Zonegran (R) in the Congress International of epilepsy.

Hatfield, United Kingdom, August 25, 2011- / PRNewswire / – Eisai announced today that the results of two fundamental studies of phase III of antiepileptic treatment r Zonegran (Zonisamide / ZNS) zonisamide monotherapy study and the CATZ of zonisamide in pediatric patients, will be presented for the first time during the 29 international epilepsy Congress (CIE)to be held in Rome, Italy, between August 28 and September 1, 2011. Also, will be presented posters which highlights the results of new studies of phase IV ZADE, OZONE and ZENIT on the effects of Zonisamide in daily clinical practice in Europe.

Monotherapy, randomized, double blind and multicenter study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of Zonisamide monotherapy administered 1 time/day vs carbamazepine delayed release administered 2 times / day in 583 adults with newly-diagnosed partial epilepsy. The CATZ study, double-blind, randomized, multicenter placebo-controlled, was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety/tolerability of adjuvant Zonisamide in 207 pediatric patients (between 6 and 17 years), and with partial onset seizures taking one or two antiepileptic drugs. The ZADE study evaluated the efficacy, tolerability and the effects on the quality of life (QOL) of Zonisamide (ZNS) as adjunctive therapy in patients with partial seizures treated in daily clinical practice in Germany and Austria. The study OZONE assessed the efficacy and tolerability of Zonisamide in current medical practice in patients over the age of 18 years with focal epilepsy treaties by neurologists in hospitals or private clinics in France. The ZENIT study evaluated a range of variables in patients with epilepsy who was administered Zonisamide in daily clinical practice in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

“The results of these studies demonstrate our commitment to the development and commercialization of treatments for epilepsy that can really help improve the lives of people with epilepsy”, says Dr. Bettina Bauer, head of business unit of epilepsy for the EU, Eisai Europe, “Zonisamide is an example of the strong portpofio of drugs for epilepsy that offers Eisai”.

The European Medicines Agency has agreed to review the request for extension of the license from Eisai Zonisamide as monotherapy for newly diagnosed patients with partial seizures epilepsy, with or without secondary generalization.

Masimo obtained the CE mark for SEDLine.

-Masimo obtains the CE mark for SEDLine and launches the brain function controls based on EEG in the European market

-European availability expands access to the platform of function of the brain critical care

Irvine, California, August 24, 2011- / PRNewswire / – Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) today announced that it has received the CE mark for its control of the function of the brain SEDLine – expanding the access and availability of the technology of advanced SEDLine neurocontrol to hospitals and clinics in Europe. Sole control of the function of the brain with four EEG channels separated into an integrated simple algorithm SEDLine represents a critical step forward for the practice of anesthesia in Europe – more complete data for a more complete picture of brain function and the sedation.

SEDLine broadens the scope of the data in real time and improves the management of a numbing case allowing more individualized titración.

Four channels of high quality EEG data provide information on both sides of the brain to facilitate the immediate detection of asymmetric activity and results of a sophisticated simple algorithm to give accurate and reliable information on the response of the patient to the anesthesia. SEDLine Patient State Index (PSI (TM)) of Masimo, a calculated measure of the activity of the brain that reflects the current level of sedation/anesthesia (1) of the patient, offers additional data to improve the anesthetic monitoring and facilitate a quick assessment. With the reliability proven in difficult clinical conditions and superior resistance to Cauterization (2), SEDLine offers an economical solution for the control of brain function that helps doctors get objective sedation at all stages of anaesthesia – go and ICU.

According to Michael Ramsay, M.D., head of Anesthesiology and pain control and director general of the Research Institute at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, “for many of liver transplants and cases of cardiac anesthesia in which I participated, SEDLine gives me access in real time to larger brain activity data”which is especially critical when the surgical patient hemodynamic parameters are changing rapidly.

“Due to their four-channel EEG separated only from SEDLine in a single, integrated algorithm, which allow greater control and administration of sedation – I believe that it will also complement the use of anesthesia based on control of destiny of narcotic infusion, which is a technique widely used in Europe.”

The introduction of control systems based on EEG as SEDLine to provide guided titración has shown to reduce the amount of used anesthesia and reducing recovery time when used as a complement to the current routine clinical practice.(3-4) In fact, these studies show SEDLine PSI provided more titración individualized anesthesia led patients to receive much less anesthesia and recovery in an average of 67% faster – ultimately allowing faster performance OR a PACU patients fulfilling an eligibility of 19% faster than downloading the patients not controlled by SEDLine.

Joe Kiani, founder and Managing Director of Masimo, stated: “the risks associated with the expansion of the use of quick-acting drugs as anesthetic such as Propofol, where patients entering and leaving the State of sedation very rapidly, makes it increasingly important for anesthesiologists keep tighter control.” “SEDLine PSI of Masimo and our popular wave of 4 channels help Anesthesiologists to keep their patients where they want to be – to improve control and management of sedation of patients anestesiados.”

SEDLine is currently used in major hospitals in the United States.UU., including Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, TX; Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA; Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, CAM New York Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NYC; Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, CA.

More than 100 independent and objective studies demonstrate that Masimo SET provides the most reliable measurements of SpO2 pulse rate even in the most demanding clinical conditions, such as the movement of the patient and low peripheral perfusion. In 2005, Masimo introduced the technology rainbow SET r Pulse Oximetry-CO Tm, allowing control noninvasive and continuous component of the blood that previously required invasive procedures, including total hemoglobin (SpHb (R), oxygen (SpOC (TM), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO r), metemoglobina (SpMet (R)), and content Pleth Variability Index (PVI (R)), as well as SpO2, frequency of the pulse, and index of perfusion (PI). In 2008, Masimo introduced Patient SafetyNet Tm, a remote control and reporting system clinical wireless designed to help hospitals prevent deaths and injuries preventable associated with failure to rescue events. In 2009, Masimo introduced rainbow Acoustic Monitoring (TM), the first control noninvasive and continuous rate of acoustic breathing (RRa Tm). The technological platform of Masimo SET rainbow offers a breakthrough in the patient safety, helping doctors to detect life-threatening diseases and help guide treatment options. In 2010, Masimo acquired SEDLine r, a pioneer in the development of innovative technology and brain function monitoring devices.

Families must follow the guidelines of preparation in the event of hurricanes and prepare a stock of emergency in the event that they have to evacuate their homes quickly.

The local chapters of March of Dimes and its website are good sources of information for pregnant women. The Centers for Disease Control and prevention of in the United States.UU also offer important information on how to prepare for a hurricane.

Although that pregnant women should follow the general recommendations of preparation in the event of a hurricane, as many including as new mothers also precautions special for themselves and their children.

March of Dimes is the largest organization non-profit dedicated to promoting health in pregnancy and the baby. March of Dimes, with chapters throughout the country, strives to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects(, premature birth and infant mortality.

March of Dimes offers the following emergency preparedness tips aimed at pregnant women and the new padres:

1) pregnant women should know the signs of an impending birth and where they experience any of these symptoms should not expect to make it disappear. They should seek immediate medical help. Preterm birth is defined as any birth occurring before 37 weeks of gestation. Birth signs are as follows:

-contractions (abdomen tense as a fist) every 10 minutes and frequently

-changes in the vaginal discharge (fluid loss or bleeding from the vagina)

-pelvic pressure: the feeling that the baby is pushing down

-little acute pain in the lower part of the back

-cramping similar to the of the per(íodo

-abdominal cramping with or without diarrhea

2) pregnant women should pack prenatal vitamins or maybe an additional supply of vitamins without prescription, along with maternity clothes additional.

(3) Get their prescription drugs in advance. (

4) Have non-perishable food and bottled water. Try to have an assortment of food with high protein content and which are low in fat. (

5) New parents who may need to stay in a shelter should bring with you something sure where to put your baby to sleep like a portable crib, as well as extra diapers and other medical supplies Basic.

(6) New parents should also take special measures to ensure that they have food for their children. The stress of a hurricane can affect the production of milk of lactating women, although breast-feeding may be relaxing both for the mother as a baby. (

7) In the rare case that it is impossible to continue breastfeeding, mothers can consider weaning her baby. If they decide to change the preparation for infants, parents must use a formula already prepared, where there is doubt about the quality of the water supply. Do not use water treated with iodine or chlorine tablets to prepare the formula powder. (

8) Pregnant women must do everything for eating nutritious foods on a regular basis and to keep hydrated. They must also do or possible to rest enough.
