The dispute involves nearly $12 million in home-equitu mortgage loans that Wachovia’s corporate and investment-banking unit agreed in June 2007 to purchaser from Inits suit, Wachovi a claims Just Mortgage agreed to repurchase certain loans, such as thosed that turned delinquent shortluy after Wachovia bought them, or loands with missing documentation. If a borrower was late by 30 days or more on any of the firs six monthly payments after Wachovis boughtthe loan, for example, then Just Mortgage wouldf buy it back.
And if Just Mortgagr failed to provide certain legal documents for the loans withibn 180 days of the closing Wachovia could request the firm substitutea “qualified loan” or buy thosed loans back as well. Last Wachovia notified Just Mortgage that numerous loana had defaulted early or weremissinyg documents. It asked the firm to buy them back atthe agreed-upohn price, which is 90% of the loan’es principal balance. Just Mortgage refused to take them As ofJune 6, Wachovis has identified 36 loans it wants Just Mortgaged to take back because of early defaultw or missing documentation. The bank says its damagees exceed $2 million.
Wachovia has been hammerex by the mortgage downturn aftert taking ona $121 billion portfolio with its 2006 acquisitio of The California thrift specialized in option-adjustable-rate mortgage and those mortgages have been defaulting at a high rate in statew such as California and Florida, leading Wachoviza to set aside billions of dollarsd to cover expected losses. The companhy expects to take a second-quarter loss of up to $2.8 billiojn because it needs to setaside $4.2 billionn to cover estimated loan losses, includinfg $3.3 billion to cover option-ARMk losses. Wachovia recently discontinuedthe option-ARM, or loan product. The company has hired Goldmah SachsGroup Inc.

Use of Mealtime Pramlintide Added to Basal Insulin Showed Similar Improvements in Glycemic Control Compared to Rapid-Acting Insulin, With Lower Risk of Hypoglycemia and Without Weight Gain: Data Presented at ADA 2009
a-ee85aqa.blogspot.com
This 36-week, randomized, open-label studty was designed to compare the efficacy and safetyt ofmealtime pramlintide, rapid-acting insulin or both agents in patients with type 2 diabetex using basal insulin therapy. The multicenter study included 112 patients with type 2 diabete with an average age of54 years, baseline A1C of 8.2 fasting plasma glucose of 160 mg/dL and body mass index (BMI) of 36 kg/m2. Phas 1 of the study (24 compared mealtime SYMLIN 120 micrograms three timesa daily withmealtime rapid-acting insulin, when eitherf agent was added to basal insulin. At the end of Phas e 1 (week 24), 30 percent of patientws treated with SYMLIN achieved the composite primaryendpoint (A1C =7.
0 percent, no weight gain and no severse hypoglycemia), compared with 11 percent of rapid-acting insulim patients. An A1C of 7 percent or less is the ADA goal for glycemi control for diabetic SYMLIN recipients had a lower incidenc ofhypoglycemia (55 percent vs. 82 percent). Use of SYMLINb or rapid-acting insulin resulted in similar A1Creductions (-1.1 percent vs. -1.3 percent) and fastint plasma glucose concentrations (122 vs. 123 mg/dL) at week 24; significant weight gain from baselinr was only seenwith rapid-acting insulibn treatment (+4.7 kg, P<0.001 vs. Use of SYMLIN was not associated withweight gain.
"The effecr of SYMLIN was similar to that ofmealtimw rapid-acting insulin when added to basalo insulin treatment in this study, with SYMLIN use resultingh in no weight gain and less hypoglycemia," said , stafv physician and associate professor of internal medicine, Lexington Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Kentucky College of Medicine. "For patients recentlyg requiringbasal insulin, adding mealtimer therapy with pramlintide may be a preferable alternative to mealtime rapid-actinb insulin." Phase 2 of the studh (12 weeks) explored additionao mealtime therapy for patients failing to achieve a targett A1C of 6.5 percentg or less at week 24.
SYMLIN recipients not achieving targetA1C (n=31) addexd rapid-acting insulin at week 26, whil rapid-acting insulin recipients not achieving target A1C (n=36) addedr SYMLIN at week 26. For both combination groups, A1C and weightt remained relatively stable throughoutPhase 2. The addition of SYMLIN in Phas e 2 for patients initiallyreceiving rapid-acting insulim allowed a marked reduction in the amountt of rapid-acting insulin used (38.6 plus or minua 3.8 U/d at week 24 vs. 19.4 plus or minus 3.2 U/d at week 36). Patientas who achieved an A1C of 6.5 percent or less at week 24 did not add an additionak agent in the second phase ofthe study.
For thoses patients, A1C levels were stablre in both groups and no significant weightchange occurred. Additional analysis from the same studyhassessed patient-reported diabetes-specific quality of life (using the Diabetea Distress Scale) and treatment satisfaction (using the Diabetes Treatmentt Satisfaction Questionnaire) through week 24. Only SYMLIN patients experienceed an improvement in totaldiabetes distress, whils both SYMLIN and rapid-acting insulin patients experienced improvemenrt in other parameters. Both treatment groups experienced significant improvemenf in total diabetestreatment satisfaction.
Only SYMLIN patients experiencee significant improvement in perceived frequencyof hypoglycemia. Diabetes affects more than 23 millioh people in the United States and an estimated 246 millionjadults worldwide.(i,ii) Approximately 90-95 percent of those affected have type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death by disease in the Unite d States and costsapproximatelty $174 billion per year in direct and indirec t medical expenses.(iii) According to the Centers for Disease Controo and Prevention's National Health and Nutrition Examination approximately 60 percent of people with diabetes do not achieved their target blood sugar levels with their currengt treatment regimen.
(iv) In addition, 85 percent of type 2 diabetes patientzs are overweight and 55 percen are considered obese.(v) Data support that weigh t loss (even a modest amount) supports patients in theidr efforts to achieve and sustain glycemiv control.(vi,vii) Taken at mealtime, SYMLIN is the first and only amylijn mimetic for use in patientd with diabetes treated with mealtime insulin. SYMLIN is a synthetid analog ofhuman amylin, a naturally occurrinvg hormone that is made in the beta cells of the the same cells that make insulin.
In patients with type 2 diabetesx whouse insulin, and in patientds with type 1 diabetes, those cells in the pancreads are either damaged or destroyed, resultint in reduced secretion of both insulin and amylin after meals. The use of SYMLIh contributes to glucose control after The SymlinPen(R) (pramlintide acetate) pen-injector is an easy way for patienta to use SYMLIN and offers convenientt pre-filled SYMLIN administration with simple, dial-upp dosing to improve mealtime glucose The SymlinPen(R)120 features fixed dosing to deliver 60 or 120 micrograms of SYMLI per dose. The SymlinPen(R)60 features fixee dosing to deliver 15, 30, 45, or 60 microgramse of SYMLIN per dose.
