It's a beautiful September day. There's a cool breeze blowing, not a cloud in the sky, and it's inspired you to lace up your sneaks after taking a break from running all Summer. A few minutes into it, you start to experience an itchy sensation all over your legs, and it's so overwhelming that you have to stop running to scratch.

In September 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved panitumumab (Vectibix) for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body following chemotherapy. Like cetuximab (Ertibux), panitumumab targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on cancer cells. Panitumumab is the first new colorectal cancer drug approved since 2004.

Pain Medications
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and COX-2 inhibitors work equally well for pain management, but both types of drugs increase the risk for heart attacks, according to an important report from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research.
- The prescription NSAID diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam) may present a higher risk for heart attack than other NSAIDs, suggests a 2006 Journal of the American Medical Association study.
- Standard osteoarthritis medications provide moderate pain relief for only 2 - 3 weeks, suggests a 2007 review in the European Journal of Pain.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture may be helpful for people with knee and hip osteoarthritis, according to several 2006 studies:
- An Annals of Internal Medicine study of 1,007 people with chronic osteoarthritis knee pain indicated that patients who received acupuncture plus standard care had greater improvement than those who received only physical therapy and anti-inflammatory drugs.
- An Arthritis and Rheumatism study of 3,663 patients with chronic osteoarthritis knee or hip pain suggested that acupuncture plus routine care can provide significant improvements in pain relief and quality of life. In both studies, the benefits of acupuncture were sustained for up to 6 months after treatment completion.
Exercise and Knee Osteoarthritis
Weight-bearing exercise (walking, jogging) neither prevents nor increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis in healthy middle-aged and elderly people, suggests a 2007 study in Arthritis and Rheumatism.
