Conventions and trade shows impact the Puget Sound area economy to the tune of millions of dollars — and they attract millions of enthusiastic attendees from the region, nation and the world.

Some of the more colorful events include the Northwest Flower & Garden Show and two conventions that welcome legions of costume-clad comics fans: Emerald City ComiCon and Sakura-Con. Other exhibitions cater to prospective college students, motorcycle lovers, and engaged couples planning weddings.

The Puget Sound Business Journal has compiled a list of the top 24 regional conventions and trade shows staged at the Washington State Convention Center in 2011…

The more vocal critics against Government Healthcare indicate Canada, Great britain and Europe, where although healthcare is government funded, there are countless cases of: funds gone astray, white elephant projects, hospitals with inadequate funding, patients unable to obtain vital care plus a general malaise that will dominate sectors which are not privately run, with a genuine performance and profit incentive.

Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder marked by progressive muscle weakness due to lysosomal buildup of glycogen. Presentation is described as a spectrum, varying by age of onset, organ involvement, and degree of myopathy. Given the phenotypic variability, Pompe disease is broadly classified into an infantile form and a late onset (juvenile, childhood, adult onset) form. Prior to the advent of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with alglucosidase alfa and approval for human use in 2006, the natural history was limited due to death before age 2 years for infantile onset cases and significant morbidity and early mortality for late onset Pompe disease (LOPD). ERT with alglucosidase alfa redefined the once fatal outcome in infantile Pompe, establishing an emergent phenotype. Treatment in late onset patients resulted in improved outcomes, enhancing understanding of the phenotype, presentation, and extent of organ involvement. This Issue of the Seminars seeks to enumerate the recent advancements in the field of Pompe disease, including newborn screening, novel therapeutic targets, new insights in the pathophysiology including role of autophagy, and impacts of long‐term disease burden and CNS glycogen accumulation on cognition in infantile survivors. It also addresses immunological challenges and the critical role of immunomodulation in ERT treatment outcome. Other topics discussed include the role of biomarkers in monitoring disease progression and treatment responses, the role of genotype in defining phenotype and treatment response, better insights into the clinical presentations in LOPD and finally the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to care with the role of physical therapy as an example. Many gaps in our scientific understanding of this disease still remain; however, we hope the next decade will bring new knowledge and therapies to the horizon. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

There continues to be quite a bit of debate over how effective, expensive and sophisticated the recently-signed medical insurance reform bill, known as the Affordable Care Act, may ultimately maintain many years ahead.

Several months ago, I saw a young mother with a baby strapped to her in a sling walk through the front doors of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, wander up to the front desk and ask, “What do you guys do?”

The people at the front desk stifled a laugh and clearly weren’t sure what to say. They told her the foundation does a lot of things. They handed her one of the pamphlets sitting on the counter and she wandered away, apparently no more enlightened than when she walked in.

Should the woman come back to visit the foundation next week, she would probably walk away with a better answer after a tour through the brand-new Gates Foundation visitors’ center, opening Feb…

The Federal Trade Commission has filed an administrative complaint against Covington-based Omnicare Inc., moving to stop the company’s hostile bid to buy Louisville-based PharMerica Corp.

The case will be heard before an administrative law judge at the FTC in June.

As Business First reported earlier this month, Omnicare had disclosed in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it would extend the deadline for the FTC to review its proposed acquisition until Jan. 26. Earlier Friday, Omnicare also extended its deadline to buy PharMerica shares to 5 p…

As the price of health care goes up, the expense of the insurance to pay that healthcare rises with it, and fewer places is more evident on the job. Sadly, companies need to keep asking a growing number of out of employee’s paychecks – something they’re not wont to complete – to pay for the higher premiums demanded by health insurance companies. According to an account in CNN entitled, “Cost of the health want to rise 14%”, they discuss how health insurance premiums will rise further this year, and what can you do regarding it.

Hawaii’s Medicaid program has awarded contracts to five health-care organizations to administer the programs for low-income residents.

The contracts awarded by the Department of Human Services’ Med-Quest Division went to AlohaCare, HMSA Quest, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Ohana Health Plan and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, the department said in a news release.

The state had delayed the annual $540 million contract to Hawaii’s managed-care provider plans while it awaited federal approval for amendments to a request for proposal it had issued in August…
