Questa notizia è stata acquistata da Axios a un partecipante alla conferenza. Ricordiamo che le scorte al dettaglio è stato colpito in azione in ritardo il Giovedi dopo che il presidente Trump ha detto in un'intervista a Reuters che egli sostiene sotto forma quotsome di un tax. quot di adeguamento alle frontiere che è stato visto come un negativo, in quanto in precedenza aveva detto che il piano fiscale confine era troppo complicato , creando un senso che non sarebbe a favore di uno. Quindi, non ha ancora sta bene con gli investitori al dettaglio che il presidente ha riconosciuto sostenere una qualche forma di una tassa di adeguamento alle frontiere, in quanto hanno ritenuto che potrebbe ora essere allineato con la proposta fiscale confine più restrittiva che è spinto dalla Casa GOP. Il settore retail si oppone ad una tassa di adeguamento alle frontiere perché i rivenditori importare così tanto della loro merce in vendita nel fuori degli USA di conseguenza, le loro prospettive degli utili soffrirebbero presumibilmente perché otterrebbe colpiti in modo sproporzionato da una tassa di adeguamento alle frontiere. Di conseguenza, con il signor Cohn riferito che offre una posizione più morbida oggi, non vi è un certo sollievo che una tassa di confine sostenuto dalla Casa Bianca non sarà più restrittivo ieri temuto. Qualsiasi tassa di confine sarebbe un negativo a sé stante, ma le scorte al dettaglio sono state offerte fino dal momento che il titolo Cohn colpito sulla percezione che ogni futura imposta confine potrebbe non essere così male come si temeva. E sarebbe ancora negativo, ma semplicemente non così negativo come temuto e che la comprensione si qualifica come un segnale positivo (per ora).

We look forward to meeting with the FDA to discuss the next steps required to bring fusidic acid to patienTS IN THE UNITED STATES, quot said David Oldach, M. D. chief medical officer of Cempra. Fusidic acid was well tolerated in the study. The rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were comparable between treatment groups (37.9 percent fusidic acid, 36.1 percent linezolid). The most common TEAEs in both treatment groups were gastrointestinal events (22.8 percent fusidic acid, 18.2 percent linezolid). Serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred in six fusidic acid recipients and eight linezolid recipients, and were considered study-drug related in one fusidic acid recipient (vomiting) and in two linezolid recipients (one drug induced liver injury, one vomiting). Adverse events led to study drug discontinuation in 2.2 percent of fusidic acid recipients, and 2.0 percent of linezolid recipients. There was one death in the study, an event due to illicit drug overdose and aspiration which occurred in a patient receiving linezolid.
