## Patterns of Household Purchase of OTC Hydrocortisone

- Presented by Valentine J. Ellis, MBA
- Consumer Research Manager
- GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare
- March 24, 2005

## Research Objectives

- Understand purchase patterns in the OTC hydrocortisone (“HC”) category among U.S. households (“HH’s”)
- Data on household purchasing as a proxy for annual household usage
- Likely an overestimation of usage

## Methodological Detail

- AC Nielsen Household Panel
- n=55,000
- geographically & demographically representative of US census
- Panelists scan UPC “bar codes” for _*all*_ personal* *purchases
- no focus on specific products
- transmit once per week
- Incented with non-biasing “frequent flyer” type point program

## Custom Analysis

- Hydrocortisone category (as defined by ACNielsen):
- Cortaid, Cortizone and HC store brands, OTC products only
- Time Period:
-  52 weeks ending October 19, 2002
- Measures:
- Buying households
- Buy rate (ounces, purchases)

## Custom Analysis

- Sample = HH’s that scanned any HC product during the time period
- Buyer Groups:
- Total Buying Households
- Households with No Children
- Households with Children <18

## Methods

- Strengths:
- Ongoing electronic tracking of actual purchase behavior
- Objective reporting of all purchases
- Limitations:
- Household level purchase data, e.g., not linked to individual user(s).
- Detailed data on usage (conditions treated, frequency, duration) not collected

## Key Findings

- Annual household purchasing of OTC hydrocortisone products is limited
- 13% of total US HH’s purchase
- 75% of buying HH’s purchase one time per year
- 90% of total buying HH’s purchase 5 ounces or less
- Households with children buy less volume per year than HH’s without children

## OTC HC Purchase Patterns and Demographics

- ACNielsen Homescan Panel Analysis, 52 weeks ending 10/2002

- 13% of total US HH’s purchase OTC HC
- Presence of children demographic consistent with total US census

## Number of Purchases Per Year

- ACNielsen Homescan Panel Analysis, 52 weeks ending 10/2002

- 75% of households make only one purchase per year

**92%**

## Annual Purchase Volume by Demographic

- ACNielsen Homescan Panel Analysis, 52 WE 10/2002

## HC Buying Households and Volume

- HC buying households with children are lighter buyers than their childless counterparts.

- ACNielsen Homescan Panel Analysis, 52 WE 10/2002

## Conclusions

- Annual household purchasing of OTC hydrocortisone products is limited
- 13% of total US HH’s purchase
- 75% of buying HH’s purchase one time per year
- 90% of total buying HH’s purchase 5 ounces or less
- Lower purchase volume in HH’s with children
- Based on the amounts purchased, excessive use of OTC topical corticosteroids is probably not an issue.

## Back-Up Slides

- #14 – HH Purchase Behavior ’01, ’02, ’03
- #15 – Race & Ethnicity Detail

## Household Purchase Behavior

- Household purchase patterns are consistent over time.

- ACNielsen Homescan Panel, Consumer Facts 2001, 2002, 2003

## Race/Ethnicity Detail

- ACNielsen Homescan Panel, Consumer Facts 2002

- HC purchasing is slightly heavier among Hispanics.

- 1, 3 Disparities in access exist and gaps in insurance benefits contribute to them.
- 4 Financial incentives are needed to assure stable vaccine supply and R&D.
- 2 To assure equitable access & sustain investment in R&D, alternatives to current pricing and purchasing are required.

## Differentiate health risks & benefits for the individual and for the community

- What constitutes a public health risk or benefit?

- - Contagion or epidemic
- - Illness, injury, disability, death
- - Adverse effect on children
- - Cost of care, disability

- plc27

## 	What disease risk coupled with what assurance of vaccine efficacy and safety justifies:
		- a universal recommendation?
		- a mandate?

## Societal Value of Vaccines

- Community (herd) immunity
- Reduced medical, public health costs due to disease prevention
- Enhanced quality and length of life
- Improved productivity

**NOAAPORT**
**2007 – New England District of the Corps Engineers contracted with ILEX to enable the LRGS software to connect to a NOAAPORT**
**LRGS 6.1 is capable of ingesting a NOAAPORT data stream**
**Only one brand of NOAAPORT – Marta Systems**
**Marta Systems works with SANDS but not YOSEMITE**

## U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

**NOAAPORT**
**Currently three (at least) offices using a NOAAPORT to supplement their data acquisition network**
**RiverGages-WIBS (Corps EDDN) is also connected to a NOAAPORT **

## U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

**NOAAPORT**
**Note: SWL and NAE are running the Marta SANDS software and it works well with the LRGS**
**Notes: RiverGages-WIBS is connected to a Marta YOSEMITE server.  It is having problems, but ILEX is working to fix these. **

## U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

**NOAAPORT**
**Corps is integrating DCP data from DOMSATs, DRGS (MicroCom, Signal Engineering, and Sutron), and Marta NOAAPORTs within its network.**
**BTW: NAE is working with ILEX and SUTRON to develop “networked” DCPs capable of speaking DAMSNT, which will enable the LRGS to query them directly over the network! **

**K****étévi A. Assamagan**

## Progress Report

**Jet reconstruction efficiency**
**Fake jets**
**Energy Resolution**
**Quenching**

- Heavy Ion Meeting, May 16 2003

## Progress Report

**Jet Reconstruction efficiency ******** fraction of jets reconstructed within ********R=0.2 of the MC Truth jets**
**Fake jets  ******** Fraction of jets not satisfying the above**
**Energy Resolution is the resolution of                          ********E****T**** = E****T**** (reconstructed) – E****T**** (kine)**
**Similar for the Angular Resolutions**

- Heavy Ion Meeting, May 16 2003

## Angular Resolutions

**Angular Reconstructions are OK. The problem is to get the energy right!**

- Heavy Ion Meeting, May 16 2003

## Energy Resolutions

- || < 3.2   50 <  ET < 100 GeV

**A factor ~2 degradation in heavy ion backgrounds at 75 GeV**

- Heavy Ion Meeting, May 16 2003

## Efficiency, Fake & Resolution

**Resolution approaches that in p-p at high energies**

- Heavy Ion Meeting, May 16 2003

## Jet Quenching

- Medium induced energy loss via gluon radiation as quarks propagate through the QCD medium

- A way to search for quenching to is compare jet pT distributions in
- pb-pb  to p-p

**I used the calculations  of the quenching factor from **
**Dokshitzer& Kharzeev: Phys. Lett. B519 (2001) 199**

- Heavy Ion Meeting, May 16 2003

## Jet Quenching

**As pT ******** ********, the effect of the medium disappears**

- Heavy Ion Meeting, May 16 2003

## Conclusions

**The jet energy resolution in pb-pb approach that in p-p at high energies as the background becomes less important**
**The jet reconstruction efficiency > 95% for jets of 100 GeV or higher**
**The contamination from “fake jets” is ~ 38% at ~40 GeV and vanishes above 100 GeV**
**Very preliminary studies show that ATLAS can measure jet quenching, especially in the interesting region below 100 GeV**

## Tevatron In the 90 ’s

**Fermilab p p-bar collider**
- With s = 1.8 TeV : highest energy accelerator since mid-80’s
- Peak luminosity of~ 1.6 x1031cm-2s-1
- *L* *dt* .12fb delivered to CDF and D0 during 1992-1996 (Run I)
- Many exciting studies including:
- Discovery of Top quark; W Mass measurement
- Limits on tribosonnomalous Coupling;
- Limits on leptoquarks , on Supersymmetric Squark, Gluino,Stop;
- Test of QCD; b-quark physics
**x10 integrated luminosity achievable with machine/detectors upgrades**
- Goal : *******L***** *****dt***** ********2 to 4********fb******** **

## Motivation for Factor 10 in integrated luminosity

**Probing the Standard Model **
**	****	****Continuation of present Tevatron physics program with some shift  in emphasis**
- From discovery to precision measurements (top mass, W mass, ...)
- Constrain the Higgs Boson Mass
- Improvements to B physics capabilities (Bs mixing, approach to CP violation, ...)
**Beyond the Standard Model **
**     ****Significant improvements to physics reach:**** **few fb-1 data samples allow significant increases in the reach for SUSY, leptoquarks, further W’,Z’,anomalous couplings....

## Main accelerators

**	****Key to increasing the luminosity is to increase the number of p in the ring:****2 new accelerators****	**
**Main Injector: ****120 GeV accelerator**** ****replaces Main Ring**** (First Fermilab accelerator) :****as injector for Tevatron and for production of  p**
- Admittance adapted to the 8 GeV booster
- Fast cycling (1.5 s)
- High duty factor for fix targert expt. during collider runs
**R****ecycler**** :new p recycling ring**
- Permanent magnets
- Storage for cooled p, recycle p-bars from current store
- allows shorter store durations

## Run II Parameters

**Goal:accumulate before 2006:**
*******L***** *****dt***** ********10-30 fb****-1**
**Gain another factor 5 in luminosity: *****dL/dt***** ******** 1 ********10****33**** cm******** s******
- p-bar production rate and stacking rate improved
- electron cooling in the Recycler
- nb. of bunches increased  to 90 (148)
- beams at an angle (140 rad likely)
- average nb. of events/collision 13
- Upgrade detectors

## V.  Disease Pathogenesis

## Risk Factors Reported for DHF

- Virus strain
- Pre-existing anti-dengue antibody
- previous infection
- maternal antibodies in infants
- Host genetics
- Age

## Risk Factors for DHF (continued)

- Higher risk in secondary infections
- Higher risk in locations with two or more serotypes circulating simultaneously at high levels (hyperendemic transmission)

## Increased Probability of DHF

- Hyperendemicity

- Increased circulation
- of viruses

- Increased probability
- of secondary infection

- Increased probability of
- occurrence of virulent strains

- Increased probability of
- immune enhancement

- Increased probability of DHF

- Gubler & Trent, 1994

## Hypothesis on Pathogenesisof DHF (Part 1)

- Persons who have experienced a dengue infection develop serum antibodies that can neutralize the dengue virus of that same (homologous) serotype

## Homologous Antibodies Form Non-infectious Complexes

- Dengue 1 virus

- Non-neutralizing antibody

- Complex formed by neutralizing antibody and virus

## Hypothesis on Pathogenesisof DHF (Part 2)

- In a subsequent infection, the pre-existing heterologous antibodies form complexes with the new infecting virus serotype, but do not neutralize the new virus

## Heterologous Antibodies Form Infectious Complexes

- Dengue 2 virus

- Complex formed by non-neutralizing antibody and virus

## Hypothesis on Pathogenesisof DHF (Part 3)

- Antibody-dependent enhancement  is the process in which certain strains of dengue virus, complexed with non-neutralizing antibodies, can enter  a greater proportion of cells of the mononuclear lineage, thus increasing virus production

## Heterologous Complexes Enter More Monocytes, Where Virus Replicates

- Non-neutralizing antibody

- Dengue 2 virus

- Complex formed by non-neutralizing antibody and Dengue 2 virus

## Hypothesis on Pathogenesisof DHF (Part 4)

- Infected monocytes release vasoactive mediators, resulting in increased vascular permeability and hemorrhagic manifestations that characterize DHF and DSS

## Viral Risk Factorsfor DHF Pathogenesis

- Virus strain (genotype)
- Epidemic potential: viremia level, infectivity
- Virus serotype
- DHF risk is greatest for DEN-2, followed by DEN-3, DEN-4 and DEN-1

- Aids is not caused by HIV.  Coal and oil are not fossil fuels.  Radiation exposure is good for you.  Distributing more guns reduces crime.  These ideas make headlines, but most educated people scoff at them.  Yet some of science’s most important concepts —from gravity to plate tectonics —have surfaced from the pool of crazy ideas.  In fact, a good part of science is distinguishing between useful crazy ideas and those that are just plain nutty.  In this talk, based on a book with the same name, I discuss these and other controversial propositions, with a view to seeing how to evaluate a crazy idea's plausibility.

- Dr. Robert Ehrlich is a Physics professor at George Mason.  (He is not Governor of Maryland.)  His research has been in particle physics, including possible evidence for faster than light  tachyons. He also has worked on arms control issues and on physics education. He has published 20 books, most recently "Eight Preposterous Propositions"(2003) and  "Nine Crazy Ideas in Science: A Few Might Even Be True"(2001).  His homepage is at: http://mason.gmu.edu/~rehrlich/

## Cryogenic Heat Transport System

- The technology successfully operated at 80-90 °K during ground tests and in the zero gravity CRYOTSU canister on board STS-95
- Testing successfully demonstrated acquisition of waste heat through the vaporization of a working fluid which is passively pumped using the surface tension forces developed in a  fine porous wick structure
- Extrapolated the development of similar room temperature technology to cryogenic applications
- Characterized operation for an 80-90 °K system using nitrogen as the working fluid. Spin off development demonstrated functionality down to 40 °K using neon.
**                    ****COMMERCIALIZATION**
- Miniaturization of loop components has provided the ground work for extrapolating the technology to room temperature electronic cooling
