Serving as paid consultants or accepting industry money for free meals and drinks were among the most common prac- tices reported by the heads of academic departments. Drug companies and makers of medical devices often use these connections to influence doctors to use products that aren’t necessarily in the patient’s best interest, said Eric Campbell, the study’s lead author. He is a researcher at Massachusetts General Hospi- tal and Harvard Medical School. Because academic depart- ment heads set the tone for appropriate conduct at their institutions, their actions signal to medical students and others that this is appropriate behav- ior, Campbell said. The survey went to all 125 accredited medical schools and the nation’s 15 largest teaching hospitals. Around two-thirds of the department heads respond- ed. The study gave no specific examples, nor did it name any institutions. Many studies have examined doctor ties to drug companies. Campbell co-wrote research last year that found company ties were common among hospi- tal review boards that oversee experiments on patients. The new study shows that drug companies “are involved in every aspect of medical care,” Campbell said. Overall, 60 percent of depart- ment heads reported some type of personal financial relation- ship with industry. More than one-quarter — 27 percent — said they had recently served as a paid consultant. The same per- centage reported serving on a company scientific advisory board; and 21 percent who head- ed departments of medical spe- cialties closely related to patient care said they had served on speakers’ bureaus for industry. The results appear in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association. Alan Goldhammer of the industry group, Pharmaceuti- cal Research and Manufactur- ers of America, said the study results don’t mean these rela- tionships are a problem. He said it makes sense to reach out to academic heads because they have the most expertise. But Dr. Jerome Kassirer, a former New England Journal of Medicine editor and frequent critic of industry influence over doctors, called the study eye- opening. “I was appalled by the results,” Kassirer said. “No one knew that so many chairs of medicine and psychiatry were paid speakers. We’ve never had that data before.” He noted that financial ties can benefit patients when they are related to research or other scientific purposes that increase doctors’ education or lead to the development of bet- ter drugs or medical products. But they are dangerous when doctors are so beholden to the company that they withhold safe- ty concerns or push the newest or most expensive products when they aren’t necessarily best for the patient, Kassirer said. 6A - The Daily Iowan - Iowa City, Iowa - Wednesday, October 17, 2007 Which bear is best?

Militants hit Iraq By Kim Gamel ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — An explosives- laden sewage truck blew up near a police station, and a car bomb struck an Iraqi army checkpoint Tuesday — attacks that bore the hallmarks of Al Qaeda in Iraq and showed extremists can still hit hard despite recent gains by U.S.-led forces. A U.S. military spokesman said the terror network is on the run in some areas, but it “obviously remains very lethal.” The bombings and a series of shootings mainly targeted Iraqi security forces and tribal lead- ers facing internal rivalries, but bystanders also were struck. At least 25 people were killed or found dead nationwide. The deadliest attack occurred when a car blew up near a gas station across the street from an Iraqi army checkpoint, killing four civilians and two Iraqi sol- diers and wounding 25 others. Flames shot out from a mili- tary pickup as ambulances raced to the scene, driving past a long concrete barrier that recently was decorated with murals by local artists in an attempt to beautify the city. It was the latest in a series of car bombings in the capital despite stringent security meas- ures put in place as part of a U.S.- Iraqi military operation — now in its ninth month — and cele- brations marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. In the northern city of Mosul, a suicide bomber in a sewage pump truck detonated his pay- load as he approached a police station recently rebuilt after four previous attacks, police said. The blast collapsed most of the building, killing at least four policemen, including the station chief, and wounding 75 people, police said. A police spokesman, Brig. Gen. Mohammed al-Waqqa, said sev- eral nearby shops and cars were damaged. Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, has seen a rise in vio- lence that many blame in part on an influx of militants who fled the Baghdad security crackdown. Nobody claimed responsibili- ty for the attacks, but both bombings bore the hallmarks of Sunni Arab insurgents, particu- larly Al Qaeda in Iraq. The ter- ror group had promised to step up attacks during Ramadan, which ended over the weekend with the Eid al-Fitr holiday. Gunmen also killed a Sunni tribal leader who recently turned against Al Qaeda in Iraq in an ambush west of Baghdad that also left his son and anoth- er relative dead, police said. A Shiite tribal chieftain was killed in a drive-by shooting in the southern city of Nasiriyah, the latest victim in violence between Shiite groups jockeying for power in the oil-rich region. U.S. commanders have said the increase in troops ordered by President Bush in January — and the increased operations that followed — have left Al Qaeda in Iraq fractured and pushed militants into remote parts of the north and south. Additional operations have been going after those pockets of fighters. Officials have cited a drop in suicide bombings, from more than 60 in January to some 30 a month since July, along with a decrease in the flow of foreign fighters across the borders. But they acknowledge they have been unable to stop the car bomb- ings and suicide attacks usually blamed on Al Qaeda in Iraq.
