☆ Insight: What happens when a $2 million gene therapy is not enough
  + stars: | 2023-08-12 | by ( Deena Beasley | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +13 min
Their experience raises broader questions around other high-cost gene therapies coming to market, sometimes after accelerated regulatory approvals, drug pricing experts said. Gene therapies work by replacing genes – the body's blueprint for its development. The gene Zolgensma delivers instructs the body to make a protein vital for muscle control. If gene therapies do fall short, it becomes harder to justify prices that researchers have argued are already poor value. More recently, the first hemophilia gene therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was priced by CSL Behring at $3.5 million; 26 more gene therapies are in late-stage development, according to IQVIA.

☆ South Korean doctors flee paediatrics as low birth rate bites

"We had to wait two weeks," said Lee Bo-mi, a 35-year-old mother with a sick 3-year-old boy, at the Healthy Children's Hospital. By comparison, it costs about A$335 for initial standard consultation with an Australian paediatrician, while observation at Nationwide Children's Hospital in the U.S. costs $208 per hour, according to its website. Data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service shows paediatricians are South Korea's lowest paid doctors, making 57% less than the average doctor's salary. Sowha Hospital, South Korea's oldest children's hospital, recently suspended Saturday afternoon and Sunday treatment for the first time in 77 years due to a lack of staff. "If the number of children's hospitals decreases and the number of doctors falls, it's going to be difficult to get children treated."

☆ U.S. experts recommend weight-loss drugs for obese children
  + stars: | 2023-01-09 | by ( Bhanvi Satija | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Metformin has been used off label to achieve weight loss in children. Of the 27 randomized trials of metformin for weight loss in children reviewed by the guidelines panel, 74% showed some positive effect of the medication. Wegovy last month won U.S. approval for chronic weight management in children ages 12 and older. For children ages 2 to 12 years, AAP said there was not currently enough evidence to recommend use of these medications. They also include recommendations for diagnosing obesity annually in children ages 6 years and older, through checks on BMI, and practices such as motivational interviewing.
☆ A youth mental-health crisis is crushing working parents — and employers need to pay attention.
  + stars: | 2022-04-13 | by ( Rebecca Knight | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
The upshot: Today's working parents are under enormous pressure, and their stress has quickly gone from leaking into their professional life to crashing through the floodgates. It's up to employers, experts say, to help working parents manage their priorities and offer flexibility to face this daunting reality. Recognizing the pressures that exist for working parents right now is a good starting point. Importantly, she said, working parents need to be self-compassionate. "What our children need from us changes, and the roles we need to play for them change," she said.
