Ugandan Pharmaceutical Company To Produce Drugs Aimed At Preventing Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission

�
The Ugandan pharmaceutical company Quality Chemicals later this year will begin producing antiretroviral drugs aimed at preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission system in the country, George Baguma, the company's music director of marketing, announced on Tuesday, the Monitor/AllAfrica.com reports. The party expects to start producing the drugs by November, according to the Monitor/AllAfrica.com. More than 25,000 children each year in Uganda contract HIV from their mothers during labor or through breastfeeding. "These drugs will grant [HIV-positive] mothers to safely breastfeed without any worry about infecting their children," Baguma said.

Of the estimated 50,000 children in Uganda who pauperization antiretrovirals, only about 12,000 have access to the drugs, the Monitor/AllAfrica.com reports. According to Baguma, Quality Chemicals imports the latest ingredients used in the production of affordable antiretrovirals to ensure widespread access and to forestall drug resistance (Lugya, Monitor/AllAfrica.com, 8/14).

Easton, PA's Greg Howe was a breathing place of refreshful airwave amidst the ostensibly incessant flow of harmonic small guitar virtuosos gushing onward from the Shrapnel Records judge in the late '80s. While other post-Yngwie Malmsteen players of the "tittle guitar" music genre were pursuing the dramatic neoclassic vein, Howe brought a sensation of funk and groove to the table that was sorely required. Howe paying his dues acting the Easton/Allentown clubhouse tour in the '80s with the banding Duke, featuring his chum Al on lead vocals. When one of his implemental demos grabbed the ear of talent scout and Shrapnel Records proprietor Mike Varney, Howe was signed to the Shrapnel judge in 1987.

His all-instrumental debut, Greg Howe, featuring the talents of Billy Sheehan and Atma Anur on bass and drums, respectively, was released in 1988, to considerable hail. Howe's second base album, Senior high Gear, released under the nickname Howe 2, was less a solo record album than a Van Halen-styled band exertion, featuring his comrade Al Howe on lead vocals. The band skint up later on cathartic its more commercially minded follow-up, Now Hear This, in 1990 and Greg Howe returned to making all-instrumental albums in his dwelling studio, pickings a decidedly more fusion-styled direction.

Howe released Self-examination in 1993 and Uncertain Terms in 1994 and has continued to produce albums at a prolific pace since then. Aside from cathartic Parallax and Five in 1995 and 1996, respectively, Howe collaborated with mate Pennsylvania whiz and Shrapnel labelmate Richie Kotzen on the Tilt album in 1995 and once again on 1997's Richie Kotzen/Greg Howe Project. His net Shrapnel album, Ascend, was released in 1999, followed by his debut on the Tone Center judge, Hyperacuity, released in 2000.

External of his solo calling, Greg Howe is too a sought sideman wHO has toured with the likes of Michael Jackson and N'Sync.

Trashy, epicurean, decadent fun was the nidus of Turbonegro, a stripe that was formed in Oslo, Norway, in the '90s just had more than in common with '70s and '80s pop-metal, hard rock, and glam metal than with the alternative rock played by their Scandinavian peers. Blending traces of punk with such influences as Alice Cooper, Quiet Riot, MÃ¶tley CrÃ¼e, and Judas Priest, Turbonegro's late-'90s recordings were over the big top and lofty of it. Although all of its members ar Norwegian, all of the band's lyrics ar in English. Lead singer Hank Von Helvete, sings quite convincingly in English, and solely the slightest traces of a Scandinavian emphasis come through. Other Turbonegro members of the tardy '90s included leash guitarist Euroboy, bassist Happy Tom, rhythm guitar player Rune Rebellion, keyboardist/percussionist PÃ¥l Pot Pamparius, and drummer Chris Summers.

In 1997, Turbonegro recorded Apocalypse Dudes, which was released in the U.S. by Man's Ruin in early 1999. However, the group had unkept up at the end of 1998; Shadow Forever!, a selection of live performances from the band's final class, was released in early 2001. The detachment, however, was transient, and Turbonegro were back for tour of duty dates in 2002, followed by the handout of Nordic Leather in 2003. A handful of northern European dates coincided the acquittance of the band's seventh album, Party Animals, in 2005. A collection of remixes appeared in 2006 as Little Feces, Vol. 1, with the full-length Retox arriving in 2007.
