Sanofi-aventis (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY) and its wholly owned subsidiary, BiPar Sciences, announced the initiation of the pivotal Phase III trial for BSI-201 in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), defined by tumors lacking expression of estrogen, progesterone receptors and without over-expression of HER2.

Medical Experts Call For Greater Use Of Gastric Banding For Obese People With Type 2 Diabetes
UK experts are calling for greater consideration of gastric banding as an option for obese people with type 2 diabetes who need to lose weight. Dr Jonathan Pinkney, diabetologist, and Mr Paul Super, obesity surgeon, initiated this call to action following the recent European label change confirming that weight loss with Allergan"s LAP-BAND [TM] AP System can lead to improvement or remission of type 2 diabetes. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes is increased up to 10 times in obese people and, alarmingly, the UK has the fastest growing rate of obesity in the developed world.

Association For Psychological Science Annual Convention

Program Highlights: APS President Walter Mischel will lead this year"s Presidential Symposium, "The New Genetics and What it Means for Psychological Science" on Saturday May 23 at 6:00 PM. Research on self-control has come a long way since Walter Mischel"s pivotal Marshmallow Task experiment in the late 1960s. Now, Mischel and colleagues are using fMRIs and genetic testing in hopes of outlining the neural circuitry of self-control. Michel"s newest endeavor will put decades of research to the test as he plans to see if self-control skills can be taught to schoolchildren and maintained over a long period of time. Richard Nisbett is presenting this year"s Bring the Family Address on Sunday, May 24 at 6:00PM. Nisbett"s research on the environment"s impact on intelligence reveals all geniuses aren"t born smart. Author Malcolm Gladwell called Nisbett"s new book, Intelligence and How to Get It: Why Schools and Cultures Count, "persuasive" and said "Few Americans have done as much [as Nisbett] to deepen our understanding of what it means to be human." As Nisbett"s research examines the environment"s impact on intelligence, Michael Meaney"s recent research findings reveal how our childhood environment affects the very expression of our genes. In particular, Meaney"s research showed how early childhood abuse can influence the development of a receptor linked to how we handle stress. Meaney is speaking during the Presidential Symposium "The New Genetics and What It Means for Psychological Science" on Saturday, May 23 at 6:00PM. Other Headliners Include: Martha Farah, University of Pennsylvania Award Address: "Cognitive Neuroscience in the 21st Century: From Lab and Clinic to Home, School, and Office" Elke Weber, Columbia University: Invited Address Symposium Presentation: "Multiple Determinants of Risk Taking" Sara M. Gorchoff, University of California, Berkeley: Invited Address Symposium Presentation: "Improvements in Marriage: Effects of Empty-Nest and Investment in a Satisfying Marriage" Michael Inzlicht, University of Toronto, Canada: Invited Address Symposium Presentation: "Belief in God Predicts Lower Anterior Cingulate Cortex Activity" Catherine Allen-West Association for Psychological Science
