AstraZeneca Studies Show Relief Of Nighttime Heartburn And Reduction In GERD-Related Sleep Disturbances
Two studies from AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) show that symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients treated with NEXIUM(R) (esomeprazole magnesium) 20 mg daily experienced greater relief from nighttime heartburn and GERD-related sleep disturbances compared with patients taking placebo over four weeks(1). NEXIUM 20 mg is indicated for the treatment of heartburn and other symptoms associated with GERD. NEXIUM, in a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), demonstrated efficacy in relieving moderate-to-severe nighttime heartburn and GERD-related sleep disturbances in two randomized, placebo-controlled trials(2). These findings were presented in three separate abstracts at Digestive Disease Week 2009 in Chicago.

The Australian Nursing Federation (ANF) says the annual Roy Morgan professions survey, which shows nurses are regarded as the most "ethical and honest" of all professions, confirms the Australian public continues to appreciate the benefits nurses bring to Australia"s health. "For 15 years nurses have been recognised as the most ethical profession," Ged Kearney, ANF Federal Secretary said. "Nurses work hard to bring effective health care to all people, not only in hospitals, but in the community also."

"The ANF, on behalf of its 170,000 members will continue to work with the federal government to reform Australia"s health care system for the future of everybody"s health," Ms Kearney said. The ANF, with 170,000 members, is the professional and industrial voice for nurses and midwives in Australia. Australian Nursing Federation
