PETA EMPLOYEES ARRESTED FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY

 

Authorities in Ahoskie, North Carolina have charged two employees of

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) with 31 felony

counts of animal cruelty. PETA's Andrew Cook and Adria Hinkle were

arrested late Wednesday night after police saw them dump bags

containing seven dead puppies and 11 other dead animals in a grocery

store's dumpster. Their PETA-owned van, seized by police, contained

another 13 animal bodies. Ahoskie's police chief told reporters:

" We've been investigating animal cruelty and illegal disposal of dead

animals within our city for the last four weeks "

ACUTE PANCREATITIS--ANOTHER POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECT OF STATIN DRUGS

 

Acute pancreatitis is a painful condition involving inflammation of

the pancreas, and has already been reported in patients treated with

atorvastatin, fluvastatin lovastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin.

 

A recent case report published in the Journal of Pancreatology

describes a 77-year-old patient who developed acute pancreatitis after

treatment with rosuvastatin (Crestor), which resolved on withdrawal of

the medication. She had a similar episode of pancreatitis a year

earlier precipitated by atorvastatin, which also resolved on

withdrawal. Extensive work-up on both occasions failed to reveal any

other possible cause for the pancreatitis.

 

The authors of the report note: " The occurrence of pancreatitis with

two different statins in our patient argues that statins induced

pancreatitis may be a class-effect of statins. With statin

prescriptions on the rise clinicians need to be aware of this

complication of statin treatment and remember that the newest statin,

rosuvastatin is not dissimilar to the other statins in causing

pancreatitis. "
