Q: The outbreak comes ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday in late January, when many of China’s 1.4 billion people will be travelling to their home towns or abroad. The World Health Organization and Chinese authorities are taking steps to ensure the disease does not spread further. Thai health authorities said on Wednesday they were stepping up monitoring of passengers arriving at airports with infrared thermal scanners ahead of the holiday, when 800,000 Chinese tourists are expected to visit the country. Memories remain fresh in Asia of a 2002-2003 outbreak of SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which emerged in China and killed nearly 800 people worldwide. WHO has said there may have been limited human-to-human transmission of the new coronavirus in China within families. And authorities in Wuhan confirmed on Wednesday that a married couple were among 41 people diagnosed with pneumonia believed to be caused by the new virus. There were no new cases or deaths at the end of Tuesday, the city’s health authority said. The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission did not say in the statement whether the couple represented an instance of human-to-human transmission. But it said the husband, who worked at a seafood market suspected of being at the epicentre of the outbreak, was the first to fall ill and that his wife did not have any exposure to the market. Some of the other people diagnosed also denied visiting the market, the commission said. The authorities in Wuhan also confirmed that a Chinese woman quarantined in Thailand, the first case of the mystery strain of coronavirus to be detected outside of China, had come from Wuhan. The State Department’s notice referred to an alert by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urging citizens in China travelling to Wuhan to avoid contact with animals, animal markets or animal products, among other precautions. It also asked citizens those who had visited Wuhan and feel sick to seek medical care. The Wuhan health commission said in another statement issued late Wednesday that 7 of the 41 pneumonia patients have been released. The statement also said that 450 of the 763 people put under observation due to their close contact with known patients have been released.

Q: London’s Metropolitan Police said the company had been charged with seven counts of supplying a medicinal product which was not of the nature or quality specified in the prescription. It was also accused of failing to take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure that patients were not infected by contaminants. The north London company said in a statement: “As founders of ITH we have every sympathy for all the families affected, regardless of the cause. However, we are disappointed by the decision to charge the company and will vigorously defend this case.”  The police investigation was launched in September 2014 following the death of a baby three months earlier at London’s Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital. The death of a second baby at the same hospital and a third at the Rosie Maternity Hospital in Cambridge, central England, in June 2014 were then also investigated. The inquiry followed an outbreak of a bacterial infection that affected some babies receiving Total Parental Nutrition (TPN), an intravenous feed. The seven babies involved in the investigation, including the three who died, had all received the feed. The investigation established that the cause of death of the first baby could be linked to TPN, although the deaths of the other two were not found to be linked. Five hospitals in total were involved in the investigation, the other three being Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley, Luton and Dunstable Hospital and Lister Hospital in Stevenage, all in central England. ITH Pharma, which was founded in 2008, said it had manufactured more than 1.4-million components of TPN since its launch and was the sole commercial supplier of reactive feeding solutions to the National Health Service. “This product has helped thousands of extremely vulnerable infants survive premature and complex births,” it said. The case is due to start at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on Dec. 17.

Q: Blurred vision, dry eyes, glare and double-vision have led  to depression and in some cases suicide, several patients told  a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel. “Since LASIK, I am visually handicapped,” said patient  David Shell, adding that he has near constant eye pain and  depression. “My eyes never feel comfortable... 10 years have  passed and I still suffer from this problem.”    Millions of Americans have had successfully undergone  LASIK, or laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, which uses a  laser to reshape the eye’s cornea, making them less dependent  on glasses or contact lenses. Surgeons and other industry representatives told the FDA’s  outside advisers most LASIK patients are satisfied with their  vision. They noted depression is a complex condition and that  no studies show a direct link to laser eye surgery. Still, the FDA is taking another look at the surgery after  receiving 140 reports of side effects and device malfunctions  between 1998 and 2006. The FDA wants its panelists’ advice on what information it  would add to its website or product labeling to help those  considering undergoing LASIK. “Most of the patients who are having these procedures are  fairly satisfied and are doing well. Clearly there is a group  who are not satisfied and do not get the kind of results they  expect,” Daniel Schultz, head of the FDA’s device center, told  reporters on Thursday ahead of the meeting. Several unhappy patients at the advisory meeting faulted  their surgeon for not ruling them out as a poor candidates for  LASIK, or for failing to stress the severity of possible side  effects. The FDA, which has said the surgery is safe and effective  regulates LASIK devices but not the surgeons or clinics that  offer the procedure. Stock analysts have said the FDA focus on the procedure  could further hurt LASIK companies, which have already seen the  softening U.S. economy dampen demand for the elective surgery  that is usually not covered by health insurance. LASIK device makers include Advanced Medical Optics Inc,  Alcon Inc and Bausch & Lomb, among others. TLC Vision Corp and  LCA-Vision Inc run LASIK clinics. Eric Donnenfeld, an ophthalmologist at New York University  Medical Center, said the surgery aims to improve patients’  lives. “The reality is that, following LASIK, the great majority  of our patients see as well or better than they ever saw with  their glasses or contact lenses with which they were unhappy,”  he told the advisory panel. Still, some patients said that while their vision had  improved, dry-eye and other side effects were overwhelming. The FDA is also planning to begin a study on LASIK patient  satisfaction in 2009 along with the National Eye Institute and  two industry groups: the American Society of Cataract and  Refractive Surgery and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Patient and consumer advocates at Friday’s meeting objected  to the groups’ involvement with the study, citing conflicts of  interest. Industry representatives said it would help them  understand why some patients are unhappy with their LASIK  results. Advanced Medical Optics shares were off 1.1 percent to  $19.84 in noon trading, while Alcon shares were off 0.2 percent  to $154.68, both on the New York Stock Exchange. TLC Vision shares were down 2.5 percent at $1.19, while  shares of LCA-Vision were off 0.6 percent at $12.03, both on  Nasdaq.
