Drug for Restless Legs Syndrome
 |
|
A drug to treat Restless Legs Syndrome has become the
first to be granted a European licence.
The condition, a disorder of the
nerves, causes a tingling, itching sensation, and
unexplained aches and pains in the lower limbs. It has been
estimated that it affects as many as 10% of the population.
The new drug, Mirapexin, has been approved for use by the
European Medicines Agency to treat moderate or severe cases.
There are currently no other medications licensed for the
treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in the UK. RLS,
also known as Ekbom's syndrome, can affect one or both legs,
and symptoms are sometimes felt in the arms as well.
They are most likely to be experienced at night,
occasionally meaning the sufferer cannot fall asleep easily,
and will often have a strong desire to get up and walk
about.
Another symptom associated with RLS are involuntary leg
movements, particularly when asleep, which can lead to the
sufferer kicking out and waking either themselves or their
sleeping partner.
US research found people with diabetes were at particular
risk, as were those who did little exercise.
Some symptoms can be relieved by applying heat pads. The
condition can also be prevented by cutting down on alcohol
and caffeine.
Severe impact
Dr Ray Chaudhuri is a consultant neurologist and head of the
National RLS Clinic at King's College Hospital, London - the
only specialist clinic of its type in the UK.
He said the lack of sleep associated with restless leg
syndrome could have profound implications.
"The disruption can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness,
compromised work performance and significantly impact on
quality of life.
"The consequences of constant sleep interruptions can be
devastating for some people, as the tiredness and lack of
concentration can led to depression.
"There is a real need for effective treatments and the
introduction of Mirapexin is very welcome news for patients
more severely affected by the condition."
However, Dr Chaudhuri said only around 500,000 of the
estimated 4m sufferers in the UK were likely to benefit from
the drug.
He said doctors currently treated the condition with a range
of drugs, but none of these had been licensed.
Some doctors were reluctant to use these medications, as
they were used, in much bigger doses, to treat Parkinson's
patients. Mirapexin, produced by Boehringer Ingelheim, is
unlikely to be considered by the NHS drug watchdog, the
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, for
at least a year.

Respectable Sirs
We are very much pleased to see (today) our beloved
Embassy's Website, for which we wrote / requested sometimes
to launch this site for the benefit of our pure community
living abroad particularly in KSA. We appreciate for the
successful efforts and for making very good website for the
Pak community and other visitors of different countries to
get acquaintance with the policies, procedures of visas,
passports, etc. We hope, in future, it would be more
beneficial for our Community in particular, and for other
visitors in general. We would like to say heartiest
thanks to our nice, beautiful and magnificent website'
people of CONTACTPAKISTAN.COM, who are spreading lot of
information and endeavoring to bring the people together
without any gratification.

Dear Bhai, thank you for the kind
email. Indeed embassy site has taken some time to launch. It
provides all the details though the contact us area still
not working. I think, it will be fixed soon to take your
messages and comments directly. And thank you for your
sentiments about CP, remember we are not just a web site but
a Virtual NGO.
Assalam u Alaikum wrwb - Thank
you so much for sending me very good news about oil price
reduction. AlHamdolillah. Really it is very nice decision of
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin
Abdulaziz for the betterment
of his citizens. Almighty Allah SWT give him Ajar-e-Azeem
(Aameen).
KASH, our President and
Prime Minister think something about the betterment of
the Pakistani Awam.
Allah forgive us (Aameen).
Kind regards' Hafeez
Dear Bhai, thanks for thanking The
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques on behalf of rest of
us. The step taken is some thing like cool breeze. May
Allah bless him for his dedication to look after his
nation and all those who are serving the Kingdom. We are
sure such good steps will continue inshaAllah. May Allah
SWT bless him and reward him for his kind gesture.
Thank
You CP Community
I would like to
convey my sincerest thanks and congratulations to
you and everyone who came with you for making this
festival a huge success story. Your support and
commitment for this common national objective has
touched our hearts. Participation in such a huge
number has endorsed the confidence in the quality of
our products and this will send a positive message
to the supermarket industry. I believe after the
success of this festival, in future big players in
the market will seriously review their business
strategies to accommodate Pakistani products on
their shelves and that should be a take off point
for our food industry in the international market.
We all know Saudi is very potential market and offer
great business opportunities to our food
manufacturers. Unfortunately, we never got our fair
market share in this niche international competitive
market, consequently, research and development in
this sector remain stagnated and our products had no
choice but to compromise on lower end of this very
lucrative market. Safeway has provided this
unprecedented opportunity to our manufacturers to
show and offer their products to much wider range of
international consumers and react to the chance of
improvement both vertically and horizontally.
Once again on behalf of management and the entire
team of Safeway I like you to know that we are
thankful to you for making this event a success.
This may give you the pleasure to know that going
forward we have decided to maximize our support to
Pakistani products and make them available in
Safeway stores. We hope this initiative of ours
will set yet another new trend to be followed by
other supermarket chains not only in Saudi Arabia
but in whole Gulf region.
In the mean time please keep in touch and I will be
looking forward to receive any suggestion that you
may have to make our next Made in Pakistan Festivals
more fun and exciting. Best Regards
Mahmood Tariq, Manager Tamimi Safeway Stores
Tariq Bhai, thank you for your
confidence on CP community. Now that you are also
part of CP team, anyone who wishes to contact you
for guidance on how to open a super market or
establish such business may contact by writing to
business@ContactPakistan.com.
In last We are thankful to Tamimi Safeway owners and
the management for their confidence on Pak products
and Pak community within KSA. CP KSA Team
First of all I have
all appreciations for the job Contact Pakistan
is doing for the community, and I am always
keeping myself abreast about the community
through this channel. I have a suggestion that
whenever Pakistan Embassy staff is going to
visit Eastern province( Khobar-Dammam) or any
other place for passport renewals, pls give
their timetable on Contact Pakistan just one
week before their arrival. It shall be another
service from u. Best wishes, Tahir H. Zaidi,

Dear Bhai, Thank you for
your kind words of appreciation. Real
appreciation would be to contribute in our cause
of unity by participating in our newsletter.
Guess what, any one can write in this newsletter
of unity provided contents are useful for CP
community.
Now coming to your very valid request, to be
honest with you, number of times we have
requested embassy to provide us such schedules
but I guess we are not heard well. You must have
seen time to time such alerts about Jeddah? Well
we re-distribute thanks to Rashid bhai from
Jeddah who takes the pain of scanning the
consulate notice from newspaper and sending it
to CP to share with all. I guess, I have
answered your question. You may like to ask the
same to the embassy by visiting
www.pakembassy.org.sa and filling out
suggestion box. May you make the difference
inshaAllah.
Thank you once again for your email.

Be Forgiving
Dear kids, how is the hot weather dealing with you?
May Allah, in His mercy, send rain showers and make weather
pleasant. Ameen.
A few days back, my younger brother went out with his best
friend. When he returned home, his mood was bad. Right after
greeting parents and informing them of his return, he
stormed to his room. I knew something was wrong with him. I
tiptoed upstairs to his room and what I saw thorough the
little slit in the almost shut door… he had pulled down one
of his most cherished picture (that he had with his above
mentioned friend). He was feverishly tearing it to pieces
while muttering something.
It seemed something had gone wrong between the two friends
who claimed to be made for each other. Indeed their
friendship had stood the test of times since the last couple
of years. I walked into brother's room after the knock. I
inquired him of what the matter was. He told he had a tiff
with his friend. The row was such a heated one, that finally
the two decided to have put an end to their friendship. And
that was the reason he had torn the picture. He wanted to
forget his buddy completely. I told him that it was just
anger and soon the fuming will go down. I left his room
because I knew he needed some time and peace to calm him.
Once in my room I gave a shot to this and had a very
illuminating experience. I realized we humans err, because
we are not perfect like angels. Yet we forget that people
around us are humans too. In a fit of anger, most often over
very petty matters, we often banish people from our lives.
Allah is so great. We are His slaves. Yet we often let Him
down. If He would have been so strict with us, who can
expect to find salvation? My learning from this little
pondering has made me more grateful and obedient towards
Allah for He is so merciful and forgiving. He does not
forget me when I let him down. So I shall also strive to
abstain from what He has forbidden and fulfill His
commandments.
Dear folks, think about what we talked of today. You will
also have an enlightening experience.
Till we meet next, take care and Allah Hafiz
