Summary:
An independent study from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital showed that the addition of flavoring to medicine can improve compliance and quality of life scores drastically in pediatric patients.
Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) December 19, 2006 -- As many hospitals and healthcare practitioners know, the bitter taste of medications can have a negative impact on compliance, and add significant strain to treatment programs for pediatric patients.
A recent study from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital showed that commercially-available flavorings (FLAVORx) significantly impacted compliance among children admitted to the hospital.
Oftentimes, taste alone can be enough to deter a child from ingesting a medication, taking medications properly or fully completing medication regimens.
Patients in the control group, who did not receive flavoring, were allowed to use conventional methods such as crushing a tablet in ice cream or mixing the medication with chocolate or cherry syrup to improve taste and smell.
Patients in the control group had an initial 'quality of life' score of 2.5 (out of 10), with the score improving to 3.8 after instituting conventional methods to improve palatability.
Most importantly, because healthcare practitioners spend less time struggling with patients to ingest medicine, they can use time and resources efficiently to care for more patients.

Summary:
Declared the invention of the year by Time magazine, the video sharing website had Ohio judges posting their weekly sentencing hearings and spawned countless explosive experiments involving Diet Coke and Mentos candies.
Of course, the pretty high schooler named Bree was eventually revealed to be 19-year-old actress Jessica Lee Rose, who was acting out a scripted plot with two behind-the-scenes producers.
But that strange mutated duality of what's real and what's fiction, what's amateur and what's professional, remains the heart and soul of YouTube, where everybody and nobody is a star.
The video was seen by more than five million viewers before NBC asked YouTube to remove it in February.
Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg's rhymes boosted the hipness of "SNL," but more importantly, it was the first time networks were alerted to their new competition.
3. Political fallout - YouTube, like the Internet in general, has made it a specialty to reveal the gaffes and mistakes of the establishment.
George Allen didn't deserve his fate after a video of him calling a rival campaign staffer "macaca" drew constant clicks on YouTube.
6. Celebrity spy - Michael (Kramer) Richards' racist rant at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood in November would have drawn headlines without YouTube, but would millions have seen it?
A user named Peter who goes by the name geriatric1927 has become one of the biggest and unlikeliest stars of the YouTube community.
9. International compendium - Unlike perhaps anything before, YouTube compiles videos from around the world, making for a truly borderless repository of pop culture.

Summary:
A new ABI Research Brief has found that "mobile social communities" currently count nearly 50 million members worldwide, a number that is expected to reach 174 million in 2011.
In a logical progression, many social communities are now based on the mobile phone and other portable wireless devices instead of (or as well as) the PC.
The brisk pace of mobile social community growth means opportunities for new entrants hoping to join the established players such as SMS.ac, AirG, and Jumbuck that provide the technology and marketing behind leading mobile communities.
Companies can sponsor special interest communities that relate directly to their brands or services.
For instance, MTV Asia sponsors a music forum for Asian users, where members talk about music.
which also includes Research Reports, Market Data, Online Databases, the ABI Vendor Matrix, ABI Insights and analyst inquiry support.
