LONDON, October 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The MS Society has cautiously welcomed today's proposals from the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) to scrap the current care rationing system used by local authorities.

The charity, which represents the at least 85,000 people living with multiple sclerosis (MS), has said that the Government must now act on expert proposals to address the crisis in social care where people in need of care are slipping through the net.

In its report on reforming the Fair Access to Care Services system, the social care regulator calls for an end to the postcode lottery in access to council-funded care services.

The system generates warnings to riders and drivers of other vehicles by continuous exchange of positioning data from satellite GPS sources. This is particularly relevant as road users approach intersections, alerting them to other vehicles that are potentially on a collision course, allowing avoidance manoeuvres.

Ethnomathematics! Doesn’t the very term conjure up visions of politically correct wallahs (and walis) trying to prove, in a postmodern way, that “all cultures are equal”?

True, previous generations of math historians had tended to be unjustifiably Eurocentric, though the really great ones, like the Swiss-American Florian Cajori (1859 - 1930) were certainly not so. But to me there are two great benefits to be gained from the study of the maths of the East.

Firstly, the achievements of China, India and the Middle East give the lie to any postmodern assertion (if that’s not an oxymoron) that mathematics is a culture-dependent thing without any fundamental underlying reality.

VIENNA, Austria, October 22 /PRNewswire/ -- New data presented at the United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW) confirm the efficacy and safety of prucalopride, a novel enterokinetic compound, in patients with chronic constipation for whom laxatives do not provide adequate relief.

Prucalopride was evaluated in a large double-blind (n=231), placebo-controlled, phase II dose-finding trial (USA-3) that supports the choice of 2 mg as the lowest effective dose. Both the 2 mg and 4 mg dosing of prucalopride were superior to the 0.5 mg and 1 mg dosing with 4 mg showing a marginal benefit over 2 mg but a less favourable AE profile. There was no rebound effect during the run-out phase. Prucalopride was well tolerated at all doses tested.
