1.Went to a lecture today that said Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be a sign of
hypothyroidism. Keep your eyes open.

2. Novartis won European Union approval for Aclasta, the first once-a-year
treatment for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The med, which is given
as a 15-minute infusion, was cleared for all 27 EU member states, as well as
Norway and Iceland. This comes just as the FDA have begun a safety review
over a report suggesting the drug, which is called Reclast in the US, may be
linked to irregular heart rhythm
