Important Safety Information for ZYPREXA olanzapine ; Increased Mortality in Elderly Patients with Dementia-Related Psychosis Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with atypical antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death compared to placebo. Analyses of seventeen placebo-controlled trials modal duration of 10 weeks ; in these patients revealed a risk of death in the drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times that seen in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was about 4.5%, compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular eg, heart failure, sudden death ; or infectious eg, pneumonia ; in nature. ZYPREXA is not approved for the treatment of elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. Cerebrovascular adverse events CVAE ; , including stroke, in elderly patients with dementia-- Cerebrovascular adverse events eg, stroke, transient ischemic attack ; , including fatalities, were reported in trials of ZYPREXA in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. In placebo-controlled trials, there was a significantly higher incidence of CVAE in patients treated with ZYPREXA compared to patients treated with placebo. ZYPREXA is not approved for the treatment of elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. Hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus--Hyperglycemia, in some cases associated with ketoacidosis, coma, or death, has been reported in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics including ZYPREXA. All patients taking atypicals should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemia. Persons with diabetes who are started on atypicals should be monitored regularly for worsening of glucose control; those with risk factors for diabetes should undergo baseline and periodic fasting blood glucose testing. Patients who develop symptoms of hyperglycemia during treatment should undergo fasting blood glucose testing. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome NMS ; --As with all antipsychotic medications, a rare and potentially fatal condition known as NMS has been reported with olanzapine. If signs and symptoms appear, immediate discontinuation is recommended. Tardive dyskinesia TD ; --As with all antipsychotic medications, prescribing should be consistent with the need to minimize the risk of TD. If its signs and symptoms appear, discontinuation should be considered.

SliDe 44 Screening and assessment help to identify patients who are at risk for malnutrition or who are already malnourished so that appropriate interventions can be taken . Assessment tools such as the PG-SGA can classify patients as low-, moderate-, or high-risk . Data collected for a comprehensive nutritional assessment include change in weight, food intake, nutrition-impact symptoms, functional status, physical exam, biochemical markers, and laboratory indices . Because cancer-related weight loss and malnutrition can occur at any point during disease and treatment, periodic reassessment is crucial . Reassessment shows whether interventions that have been implemented are working as well as whether new interventions need to be implemented.

The purpose of the this project was to encourage families with smokers to institute a home smoking ban and to measure the efficacy of EPA's Smoke-Free-Home Pledge in the clinic setting. The study population consisted of 232 participants recruited from one of five sites: a general pediatrics clinic, three WIC clinics, and a free immunization clinic. To be eligible for the study, participants needed to have at least one smoker and at least one child less than 18 years in the household. All participants signed a consent form and completed a baseline survey at the time of enrollment. The baseline survey indicated that despite having a smoker living in the home, 60% allowed no smoking inside the home, and 44% allowed no smoking inside the car. Each participant was randomly assigned to receive one of three interventions: no particular advice regarding smoking standard care group ; , the EPA Smoke-Free Home brochure, or the EPA brochure plus counseling. A follow up survey regarding changes in smoking restrictions was completed on 141 of 232 61% ; participants approximately 6 months after the intervention. Despite repeated attempts by mail and telephone, the other participants could not be reached for follow up. A McNemar chi-square analysis showed no detectable effect of the EPA brochure on home smoking restrictions; however, 10 participants moved from unlimited home smoking at baseline to having some restrictions on home smoking at follow up. In addition, 22 participants commented that the smoker in the home quit or cut back smoking after the clinic visit. A McNemar chi-square analysis on changes in car smoking restrictions did indicate that the EPA materials had a statistically significant impact on self-reported reduction in smoking in the car p 0.036 ; . The results indicate that the pledge materials have a positive effect on reducing second hand smoke exposure, although the effect is small. Supported by EPA Region VI, Grant # XA-97680701-0. CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Debbie Cherry, M.D., Assistant Professor, UTHCT, OHS, 11937 US HWY 271, Tyler, TX 75708, USA; tel: 903-877-7542; email: debra.cherry uthct and selegiline. 2003 Eleventh Congress of the International Psychogeriatric Association a patient's anxiety and hence the overall caregiver burden. Elsewhere, it has been demonstrated that participation in cognitively stimulating activities slows decline in cognitive function and reduces the risk of incident dementia. Pharmacological interventions are designed to achieve maximum impact on dementia symptoms with minimum impact on patients in terms of side effects. Neuroleptic agents are usually more effective than other therapies such as b blockers or anxiolytics, but are limited by potentially serious side effects such as extrapyramidal effects and tardive dyskinesia. In recent years, newer atypical antipsychotic agents have been developed that appear to have a better tolerability profile. These drugs include risperidone, quetiapine, olanzapine and aripiprazole. The efficacy and tolerability of the atypical antipsychotic, risperidone has been studied and established in three randomized, placebo-controlled trials RCTs ; in a large number of patients with behavioral and psychological problems associated with dementia. The data on the other atypical antipsychotic drugs quetiapine, olanzapine and aripiprazole is based on a smaller number of clinical trials, involving fewer patients. Results from RCTs show that risperidone improves symptoms of aggression, agitation, and psychosis in dementia. In addition, quetiapine and olanzapine have demonstrated beneficial effects on patient agitation and aggression. Data on risperidone and olanzapine indicate benefit when assessed from the caregiver's point of view. All the atypical antipsychotic drugs demonstrate a low level of extrapyramidal symptoms overcoming one of the more important limitations of conventional antipsychotic therapy. In summary, in managing agitation, aggression, and psychosis in patients with dementia, the atypical medications have a proven beneficial effect on the symptoms, whilst having fewer side effects than the typical antipsychotics. With three consistent placebocontrolled randomized trials, risperidone is the beststudied atypical antipsychotic in the treatment of agitation, aggression, and psychosis in dementia. Included 9, 142 new users of conventional agents mean age, 83.2 years ; and 13, 748 new users of atypical agents mean age, 83.5 years ; . A higher adjusted relative risk of death was associated with the use of conventional antipsychotics as compared with atypical antipsychotics at all timepoints studied after beginning therapy within 180 days: RR, 1.37; 95% CI 1.27 to 1.49; less than 40 days: RR, 1.56; 95% CI 1.37 to 1.78; 40 to 79 days: RR, 1.37; 95% CI 1.19 to 1.59; 80 to 180 days: RR, 1.27; 95% CI 1.14 to 1.41 ; . In addition, the adjusted risks of death observed in patients with dementia RR, 1.29; 95% CI 1.15 to 1.45 ; , without dementia RR, 1.45; 95% CI 1.30 to 1.63 ; , in a nursing home RR, 1.26; 95% CI 1.08 to 1.47 ; , or not in a nursing home RR, 1.42; 95% CI 1.29 to 1.56 ; were also higher with the use of conventional antipsychotic therapy as compared with atypical antipsychotic use. This risk appeared to be dose-related and was greater with the use of higher dose ie, greater than the median ; conventional antipsychotics RR, 1.73; 95% CI 1.57 to 1.90 ; . Additional studies which specifically investigate the optimum care of elderly patients requiring antipsychotic therapy are needed so that appropriate guidance regarding therapeutic intervention can be provided Wang et al, 2005 ; . c ; A pooled analysis of five placebo-controlled trials revealed a significantly higher incidence of death in elderly patients with dementia- related psychosis who were treated with olanzapine as compared with placebo 3.5% vs 1.5%, respectively; p 0.024 ; .

Al treatment options for both bipolar depression and mania. In addition, atypical antipsychotics are particularly helpful in treating clients who experience mania with psychosis. Atypical antipsychotics have been shown to be effective in large, randomized, controlled trials: In comparison with first-generation antipsychotics, they improve medication adherence, quality of life, and subjective tolerability. Yatham concluded, after reviewing available evidence, that aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone are all effective in controlling acute mania. Olanzapine and ziprasidone are both available in short-acting injections that may be helpful in the most acute situations. Gao and Calabrese reported that clients with mixed mania demonstrated significant improvements in both manic and depressive symptoms during treatment with atypical antipsychotics. Tohen and colleagues found that both olanzapine and an olanzapine-fluoxetine combination improved vegetative symptoms, and furthermore, that the olanzapine-fluoxetine combination effectively alleviated such symptoms as sadness, lack of feeling of emotions, and pessimistic thoughts. Risperidone studies have also shown an improvement in mania symptoms: symptoms rated on the Young Mania Rating Scale YMRS ; improved in the risperidone group compared with placebo, although there was no significant difference in YMRS scores between haloperidol and risperidone. Other studies demonstrate rapid mood stabilization with the initiation of an atypical antipsychotic agent: For instance, in a study by Keck et al, manic or mixed symptoms improved within 2 days of the initiation of aripiprazole, and lasted for the duration of the 3-week study. Keck et al also demonstrated significant improvement in YMRS scores with aripiprazole and superiority to placebo in delaying time to relapse; clients on the atypical antipsychotic also experienced fewer relapses than did those on placebo. Delbello and colleagues found that the combination of quetiapine and divalproex was superior in reducing YMRS symptoms to divalproex and placebo. Finally, a study by Sachs revealed that quetiapine combined with either divalproex or lithium was superior to divalproex and lithium as monotherapy. As of this writing, the FDA has not approved quetiapine for bipolar depression, although this may occur in the very near future. One difficulty in treating clients who have bipolar disorder with atypical antipsychotics is the need to monitor for metabolic syndrome. Some atypical antipsychotics can cause weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased lipid levels. Therefore, the American Psychiatric Association recommends that all clients taking these medications be assessed at baseline and beyond for blood pressure, waist measurements, weight and height to calculate body mass index ; , and elevations in glucose and lipid levels. Ongoing monitoring is necessary as long as clients remain on atypical antipsychotics. Novel Therapies There are several novel treatments that warrant further study in the management of bipolar disorder, including the use of. Additional Information Compound sodium lactate intravenous infusion contains mainly sodium, but also small amounts of potassium and lactate. It is useful for initial fluid replacement in cases of blood loss. Sodium lactate diffuses rapidly into extra-cellular space around 75% ; , so it is useful for initial resuscitation of major fluid loss, followed by blood or colloid. It is also useful as sole volume replacement in small volume losses. The volume of compound sodium lactate intravenous infusion needed is 3 times as great as the volume of blood loss. Sodium Lactate has NO oxygen carrying capacity and duloxetine.
Note: FGA, first-generation antipsychotics; SGA, second-generation antipsychotics. a Duration of successful treatment of CATIE-1 is similar to efficacy. We calculated the effect size by using the P values under the column label Perphenazine and the sample size of this drug and of the SGAs without tardive dyskinesea. Because CATIE-T and CatieEff did not have a typical arm, we expressed the effect size of each of the other drugs based on its difference from olanzapine, and assigned olanzapine the same effect size as CATIE-1. This is only an approximation but does put all effect sizes as a comparison of typical. b Drug efficacy in effect size units of SGAs compared against FGAs like Haloperidol. A ``0.00'' would indicate no difference; a positive number indicates that the second-generation drug is more efficacious.

AU ; 742. Vickers, I. E. "Infections Linked to Personal Appearance Workers." West Indian Medical Journal 53.6 December, 2004 ; : 367.Refereed Summarizes and discusses the available cancer incidence 1996-2000 ; and mortality data 1990- 2000 ; for the triisland Caribbean nation of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique. Data for the analysis came from three sources: the Grenada Department of Statistics, the histopathology specimen books from St. George's General Hospital and the Death Registry of the Ministry of Health Grenada. The age-standardized rates ASR ; per 100 000 for all cancer sites combined were 170.2 in females and 158.2 in males. The four most frequent diagnoses ASR ; cancer site in females were cervix 60.7 ; , breast 49.1 ; , uterus 28.4 ; , skin 13.3 and among males, prostate 61.4 ; , bladder 16.3 ; , skin 19.3 ; and stomach 10 ; . Age-standardised mortality rates per 100 000 for all cancer sites were 105.4 in females and 165 in males. The four most frequent cancer associated mortalities ASR ; breast 17.9 ; , uterus 11-2 ; , colon 10.3 ; and cervix 9.7 and among males, prostate 53.6 ; , lung 18.7 ; , stomach 14.5 ; , and colon 10.9 ; . This study found statistically significant spatial trends for overall cancer mortality and temporal trends in incidence and mortality rates for prostate and for incidence rates for stomach cancer. These rates are compared with those from other areas in the Caribbean and the United States of America and encourage efforts to establish a cancer registry in Grenada. AU ; 743. Williams, Winston, A.

Such activity is associated with enhanced treatment of negative symptoms and cognitive deficits, which may be mediated by modulation of cerebral dopamine and serotonin levels. We employed microdialysis coupled to HPLC-EC, to examine 5-HT1A receptor activation in the modulation of extracellular dopamine in medial prefrontal cortex and serotonin in hippocampus of freely moving rats. The above compounds were compared with drugs that have less interaction with 5-HT1A receptors clozapine, nemonapride, ziprasidone, olanzapine, risperidone and haloperidol ; . Hippocampal 5-HT was decreased by bifeprunox, SSR181507, SLV313, sarizotan, and nemonapride, effects similar to those seen with the 5-HT1A agonist, + ; 8-OH-DPAT, consistent with activation of 5-HT1A autoreceptors. These decreases were reversed by the selective 5-HT1A antagonist, WAY100635. In contrast, haloperidol, risperidone, clozapine, olanzapine, ziprasidone and aripiprazole did not significantly modify hippocampal serotonin levels. In medial prefrontal cortex, dopamine levels were increased by SSR181507, SLV313, sarizotan and + ; 8-OHDPAT. These effects were reversed by WAY100635, indicating mediation by 5-HT1A receptors. In contrast, the increases in dopamine levels induced by clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine and ziprasidone were not blocked by WAY100635, consistent with predominant influence of other mechanisms in the actions of these drugs. Haloperidol, nemonapride and the D2 partial agonists, aripiprazole and bifeprunox, did not significantly alter dopamine release. Taken together, these data demonstrate the diverse contribution of 5-HT1A receptor activation to the profile of antipsychotics and suggest that novel drugs selectively targeting D2 and 5-HT1A receptors may present distinctive therapeutic properties. Treatment, compared with 30% for placebo Level 2 ; 64 ; . There was no additional benefit when fluoxetine was added to CBT. Similarly, fluoxetine treatment did not appear to add to the benefits of self-exposure and was equal to the efficacy of placebo added to self-exposure 281 ; . NaSSAs.

Preliminary open-label studies have demonstrated some efficacy with divalproex Level 3, one positive and one negative ; 346 ; and topiramate Level 3 ; 347 ; . Levetiracetam demonstrated efficacy in one open trial but showed no benefit on the primary outcome measure in a small, controlled trial: however, secondary outcomes revealed a good effect size of 0.5 on the LSAS with levetiracetam Level 3 ; 348, 349 ; . Therefore, levetiracetam may have a benefit as a third-line agent. RIMAs. Results of controlled trials with moclobemide have been equivocal; some have demonstrated response rates for moclobemide that are significantly higher than those seen with placebo Level 1 ; 299, 331, 332 ; , whereas others have not 333, 334 ; . However, on the basis of positive results of 2 large RCTs 299, 332 ; , moclobemide may be a thirdline choice. Atypical antipsychotics.

When lilly sought to conduct human clinical studies of olanzapine, the swedish board of health required lilly to respond to concerns it had about the hematotoxicity of olanzapine seen in dogs treated with 10 mg kg day. An atypical olanzapine's of Asaction is i.e., antipsychotic, fluphenazine ; . mechanismansomewhat different than that of typical tipsychotics haloperidol, It antagonizes serotonin 5-HT2 ; receptors as well as dopamine D1, D2, D4 ; , with greater affinity for serotonergic than dopaminergic receptors. In addition, olanzapine binds to muscarinic, cholinergic, histaminic, and -adrenergic receptors. Adverse effects associated with this drug include but are not limited to central nervous system effects headache, somnolence, dizziness, agitation, extrapyramidal symptoms ; , anticholinergic effects dry mouth, constipation ; , and weight gain.1 Olanzapine also appears to adversely affect blood glucose concentrations, and there are several cases in the literature describing the onset of diabetes mellitus with olanzapine treatment. We report the onset of diabetes mellitus in two individuals receiving olanzapine for the treatment of their psychiatric illnesses and nortriptyline. Pharmacological interventions at 27 cases of SRI-resistant OCD showed a significant advantage from adding quetiapine in doses up to 200 mg daily to ongoing SRI Atmaca et al., 2002 ; . Moreover, the recent double-blind placebo-controlled study by Denys and colleagues 2004 ; showed evidence of efficacy for 8 weeks quetiapine 300 mg ; augmentation in 20 patients whose symptoms had failed to respond to at least two SRIs, showing a mean decrease of 31% on baseline Y-BOCS, compared with 20 placebo-treated controls whose symptoms showed only 7% improvement p 0.001 ; . Eight out of twenty 40% ; patients responded to quetiapine therapy, compared with two out of 20 10% ; on placebo. Encouraging results from a small number of open-label studies of olanzapine Bogetto et al., 2000; Crocq, 2002; D'Amico et al., 2003; Francobandiera, 2001; Koran et al., 2000; Weiss et al., 1999 ; were not, however, supported by the doubleblind placebo-controlled study by Shapira and colleagues 2004 ; , which investigated 44 partial or non-responders to 8 weeks of fluoxetine. Both groups improved over the 6-week study period, with no additional advantage for the olanzapine-treated patients compared with extending the duration of fluoxetine monotherapy. Differences in entry criteria between studies may partly explain differences in the results. There has been a positive open-label study of amisulpride Metin et al., 2003 ; . Augmentation with clozapine has not been systematically investigated. The results for clozapine monotherapy in OCD have not been encouraging McDougle et al., 1995a ; . Some authors have reported emergent obsessions during treatment with atypical antipsychotics, which may be related to their mixed receptor antagonist properties. Altogether, these results favour the use of second generation antipsychotics such as risperidone and quetiapine as the first-line strategy for augmentation in resistant OCD. It remains uncertain as to how long patients need to remain on augmented treatment. A small retrospective study by Maina and colleagues 2003 ; showed that the vast majority of patients who had responded to the addition of an antipsychotic to their SRI, subsequently relapsed when the antipsychotic was withdrawn. 6.11.5.4 Other strategies for refractory OCD Inositol 18 g day ; is an experimental compound that acts through intracellular messenger systems. It was thought to have mild anti-obsessional efficacy but results from a placebocontrolled augmentation study by Fux and colleagues 1999 ; refute this. Sumatriptan is a 5HT1D agonist used to treat migraine. A small open case series suggested improvement over 4 weeks of treatment but, in a double-blind placebo-controlled study of 10 patients, 5-day treatment was associated with a worsening of OCD Koran et al., 2001.

Department of Neurology and Psychiatry, University of Bari, Bari, Italy Earlier studies have suggested that variation within GRM3 the gene for a type II metabotropic glutamate receptor ; alters prefrontal physiology and cognition, increasing risk for schizophrenia. Moreover, chronic exposure to olanzapine up-regulates the expression of type II metabotropic glutamate receptors in prefrontal cortex. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of GRM3 genotype on prefrontal activation during working memory WM ; in patients with schizophrenia treated with olanzapine for eight weeks. 24 Caucasian untreated patients DSM-IV criteria, 22 males, mean age 26.46.9 ; participated and were treated with olanzapine for eight weeks fixed dose between four and eight weeks, mean + SD: 20.47.6 mg day ; . Symptomatology was assessed with the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale PANSS ; at days 0, 7, 14, four and eight weeks. fMRI was performed with a 3T GE magnet using a gradient-echo pulse sequence TR 2000 ms, TE 30 ms, voxel 3.75x3.75x5mm ; during performance of the NBack WM task at four and eight weeks of treatment. All fMRI data were processed within SPM99. Patients were genotyped for GRM3 SNPs previously shown to be associated with schizophrenia P2627, P2239, and P2633 ; and COMT val158met. The three GRM3 SNPs were analyzed separately to evaluate the effect of risk alleles. The distribution of COMT val158met genotype was controlled for in all group analyses. ANOVA of PANSS total score did not show any differential effect of any GRM3 SNP on symptoms all p 0.1 ; . ANOVA of performance data accuracy and reaction time ; did not indicate any significant difference at any time point between the groups all p 0.1 ; . Second level random effects ; ANOVA on WM fMRI data indicated no effect of the high risk alleles at four weeks. However, at eight weeks the risk alleles of all three GRM3 SNPs were associated with inefficient activation of prefrontal cortex p 0.01, FWE corrected, k 3 ; . These data suggest that, in terms of prefrontal physiology, patients with the risk GRM3 alleles benefit less from treatment with olanzapine. They further suggest that genetic associations with brain phenotypes are much stronger than with clinical phenotypes.

The newest member of the protease inhibitor PI ; class of antiHIV compounds is amprenavir AMP ; , approved this past April. AMP is the first PI to be approved in over two years. Developed and launched by Glaxo Wellcome, AMP features twice-daily dosing, an easier side effects profile, and activity against drug-resistant HIV strains. In clinical trials, patients who took AMP in combination with other anti-HIV drugs achieved undetectable viral loads for at least 24 weeks. AMP can be taken with or without food, but a high fat meal decreases the absorption of AMP and should be avoided. AMP capsules and solution contain large amounts of vitamin E, and persons taking AMP should not take additional vitamin E. A promising investigational PI is ABT-378, a second generation. Table 4b.

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee PBAC ; is an independent expert body that plays a key role before a medicine can be listed on the PBS. PBAC membership includes medical practitioners, other health professionals and a consumer representative. The PBAC assesses a medicine before recommending whether it should be listed on the PBS. It takes into account the medical conditions for which the medicine has been approved for use in Australia, its clinical effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness compared with other medicine listed on the PBS to treat the same condition. If the government agrees with the recommendation, it then subsidises the medicine to ensure it is affordable for all Australians. A medicine may cost hundreds of dollars but patients prescribed the medicine under the PBS will pay much less. In 2005-2006 more than billion was spent on the PBS. In 2006-2007 this is expected to increase to around .5 billion. Since August 2006 new drugs worth more than billion over the next four years ; have been listed on the PBS. Each year, approximately 170 million prescriptions are subsidised through the PBS, around eight prescriptions every year for each Australian. The effectiveness of the PBS as a fair and equitable scheme depends on prescribers, pharmacists and patients using it appropriately and buy risperidone.

Prohibitions on the prevention and elimination of pollution caused by land-based sources to discharges from rivers, coastal establishments or outfalls or discharges from any other land-based sources and activities. The Maintenance of Cleanliness Law, 1984, is implemented through inspectors, the police and voluntary cleanliness trustees. The law prohibits the disposal of any refuse in public areas, including litter left on the beach or thrown overboard from a vessel into the sea within Israel's territorial waters. The law holds the skipper and owner of a vessel responsible for violations, and fines are imposed on them. Money collected from fines and penalties is deposited in a Cleanliness Fund and is used for specific projects including beach cleanup campaigns and environmental education. Regulations on sewage disposal from vessels were promulgated in 1998 under the Water Law. They prohibit the discharge of sewage to a water source, require commercial vessels to install adequate sewage collection facilities, and call for the establishment of adequate reception facilities on shore. The regulations are specifically aimed at preventing pollution in Lake Kinneret. The Ports Ordinance, 1971, provides for the operation and management of ports in Israel. It contains a specific section on handling hazardous substances in ports. Regulations promulgated under the law cover environmental matters such as collection of waste, bilge and ballast water from vessels. Regulations on Loading and Discharging of Oil, promulgated in 1975 under the Ports Ordinance, control all procedures for safe loading and discharge of oil and contain specific instructions on the following: entry into territorial waters and ports; vessel operations during their stay in terminal; measures for fire prevention and fire fighting; conditions of oil terminals; transfer of oil from road tankers; and other regulations aimed at ensuring environmentally-safe practices. While most of the regulations are supervised and enforced by the Ministry of Transport, provisions concerning environmental issues are administered by Environment Ministry inspectors. A draft law on the prevention of seawater by hazardous substances is now under preparation. It will further advance Israel's inspection and enforcement capabilities in the area of pollution prevention from chemical tankers as per the provisions of Annex II of the MARPOL Convention. The Bathing Places Law, 1964, permits local authorities to formulate bylaws for maintaining beach cleanliness. It empowers the Minister of the Interior, in consultation with the Minister of Health, to close bathing beaches for the protection of bathers. Laws on the protection of endangered species and habitats protect sensitive ecosystems such as Eilat's coral reef ecosystem. A compilation of short fiction includes the title story about a woman's recovery from cancer, as well as a retrospective about the dangerous games played by a girl and two boys in their youth in the story `pagans'.
