Allergan Inc, on Monday announced that it is planning to cut down 13 percent of its work force, which include job of 1500 workers, in order to increase profits over the next six years. This job cut would not have an effect on the main plant that is located in West port and co Mayo, which has a staff of 900 workers. This will help the organization in convincing investors that a standalone company has a better value. It will facilitate them in making 20 percent growth between the time periods of 2014-2019. The company had expected a 2014 profit of $5.64 to $5.73 per share, with earnings growth of 20 per cent to 25 per cent in 2015.

Valeant, the rival of Allergan offered $52 billion for the company but Allergan refused. They said that the acceptance of that proposal will affect the development of the company and it was not in the best interest of share holders. On the other hand, Valeant was saying that they will increase the profit by cut cost and now Allergan is saying that we can do it by ourselves as well.

According to, JPM Morgan analyst, Chris Scot, this cut down is of 5 to 10 percent which is more than expectation. Consequently, the company should deserve superior appraisal. This reformation will take away 250 vacant positions with it and will give guarantee earning of 10 percent shares in 2016

A study done by the American Society of Nephrology claims to have discovered the reason for the decline in kidney donations. Jagbir Gill, MD, MPH of University of British Columbia in Vancouver and some others divided the US population between two groups.: high income populations and low income populations and they examined the rates of living donations of both income populations from 1999 to 2010.

The results showed that low income populations had significantly lower living donation rates than high income populations. Moreover, they noted that the difference in donation rates between the two groups became larger in recent years.

For example since 2004, lower income populations experienced a decline in living donations while the donation rate for the higher income populations was more stable. Dr Gill said that the implications of these results are that financial barriers to living donations need to addressed and alleviated to a certain extent so that people find it easier to make living donations.

Apart from the obvious medical benefits to transplant patients a single donated kidney saves $100,000 in health care. At this point though, an estimated average cost for donating a kidney is $5000 and some statistics suggest up to $20,000.

The report was based on the study published in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).

A recent study indicates that women who were sexually abused as a child have a higher thickening of the inner lining of their arteries, which is an early sign of atherosclerosis. This is a condition in which arteries thicken and harden causing the accumulation of plaque which can cause a heart attack, heart failure and peripheral artery disease.

The research was led by Recce C.Thurston who is an associate professor of psychiatry, psychology, epidemiology and clinical and translational science and director of the Women’s Behavioral and Health Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh, PA. This is the first study to link sexual abuse with thickening of the inner lining of the arteries.

The study involved 1400 Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic and Chinese women ages 42-52 who were a part of the Study of Women’s Health across the Nation. All women were investigated regarding any physical or sexual abuse that they may have experienced and then were measured and tested for risk factors. The study found a positive correlation between sexual abuse and higher midlife carotid artery. This study indicates the importance of early life stressors and the effects it may have on life and also shows how devastating sexual abuse is to the mind and body considering physical abuse was not linked with higher midlife carotid artery IMT. It also indicates that care takers and medical professionals should inquire about such instances before determining risks of cardiovascular diseases.

Several studies were made to find out the connection between the vasectomies and prostate cancer. The result comes out positive however, many specialists have rejected this theory on the basis that men who have vasectomies needs more medical attention than the normal one hence they catch more diagnosis.

Recent study has showed that men who had vasectomy contain 20 percent additional chances of lethal prostate cancer as compare to an ordinary man.  In total 1000 cases of vasectomies 19 men are found who suffered prostate cancer whereas the other ratio is 16 in 1000 cases.

Experts are still looking for the reason following this issue and the most recent supposition is that vasectomy trigger hormonal imbalance which is responsible for the growth of an abnormal cell in man. In regard of all the above data it cannot be said that people should stay away from vasectomy since these facts are not enough yet. Therefore, physicians still do not put this risk in front of man who is planning about a vasectomy.
