The Senate Finance Committee put big pharmaceutical companies on blast for their sky-high drug prices. Seven drug executives were grilled in a heated exchange with lawmakers, who were questioning their pricing practices. Pharmaceutical company Pfizer has raised the price of the popular diabetes drug Lyrica by 163 percent since 2012. Each of the pharmaceutical companies insisted the high costs is because it takes a lot of money to research and develop better more effective drugs. The Senate committee did not agree. The Big Pharma panel did offer ideas to find solutions to lower drug prices, including passing rebates. Additionally, Merck, as well as the majority of the panel, say they support the stop of price hikes on medicines that have no competition and encourages competition elsewhere. However, Senate members like Maria Cantwell of Washington, say Big Pharma says it wants to solve the issue, but ultimately didn't offer anything worthy to create change. "I think if you guys can't agree that these basic market functions that allow people to buy in bulk or on discount is good ideas for consumers, then I don't think we are going to come up with anything we agree on here,” Cantwell said during the hearing.Lawmakers, including some of those on the Senate Finance Committee, receive funds every year from the pharmaceutical industry. The Center for Responsive Politics found drug companies spent more than 0 million lobbying last year. More can be found on the group’s website opensecrets.org. 1531

A 5G device. A foldable phone that morphs into a tablet. A smartphone that can charge another smartphone when sandwiched together.Samsung is making bold moves with its new lineup of Galaxy S10 smartphones, which were announced Wednesday at its "Unpacked" press event in San Francisco.Following a year of slower sales growth — due largely to the S9 models not being different enough from its successful Galaxy S8 products — the company hopes a handful of innovative features will inspire consumers to trade in existing devices for newer models.The Galaxy FoldSamsung kicked off its event with the debut of the Galaxy Fold, a 4.6 inch-smartphone that can open up into a 7.3-inch tablet. Along with Samsung's long teased Infinity Flex display, it has a hinge to make the transition more seamless. The luxury device, which will cost ,980, hits stores on April 26."We are creating a new dimension for your phone and your life," a Samsung spokesperson said during the event. "It doesn't even define a new category; it defies a new category."The Galaxy Fold, which will be available in black, silver, green and blue, supports three apps at one time: You can watch Netflix, Google something and answer text messages at the same time.Consumers who flock to big screens, whether for gaming or the ability to see more of their data in one place, may be attracted to the unique concept. Samsung has already proven that there's interest around larger-screen smartphones with the success of its Galaxy Note line.But Samsung will need to convince developers to design apps for the unique form factor, and consumer demand out of the gate might not be enough to encourage this considering the price point.The Galaxy S10 lineupSamsung is back with updated versions of its best selling Galaxy S smartphone, too. Its next-generation flagship device comes in four options: the 5.8-inch S10e (9); the 6.1-inch Galaxy S10 (9); the 6.4-inch S10+ (9); and the 6.4-inch S10 5G (pricing has yet to be announced).The Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10 5G devices feature a new curved, quad HD+ AMOLED display, which the company says whips up crisper and more vibrant colors and reduces blue light exposure to help reduce eye strain. (The lower-end S10e touts a full HD+ flat screen).The three higher-end models reverse Samsung's unpopular decision to put the fingerprint scanner on the back of the device last year. Now built into the display itself, the "ultrasonic fingerprint reader" compliments its Face Unlock feature but promises more security. It doesn't just take pictures of your fingerprint; the company says it uses machine-learning-based algorithm to read 3D fingerprints through ultrasonic sound waves.(Fingerprint data is stored only on the device itself, according to Samsung). The S10e features a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the side of the phone instead.Not surprisingly, Samsung is upping its camera game. The winner for the most cameras goes to the Galaxy S10 5G, which offers a total of six, including a dual-front camera with a 3D-depth lens to handle things like augmented reality. It has a quadruple rear camera with a wide, telephoto and (another) 3D depth lens.The S10 and S10+ feature nearly the same without the 3D depth lens on the back. However, the S10e has single front and dual rear cameras in wide and ultra-wide lens.Samsung said the cameras' software on all the new phones is able to faster identify what's in the shot and make suggestions for better framing.The four models, which are available for pre-order on Thursday and hit starts on March 8, start at 128GB and go up in cost depending on storage size. The devices come in four colors in the US: black, white, blue and a pink inspired by the Pantone color of the year ( 3751

The opioid crisis has had a devastating impact across the country.Now, doctors in one state are tackling the problem head on, and it starts with how they treat pain in the emergency room. When Dr. Donald Stader walks through his emergency room these days, it's almost like he's a different doctor. “I used to over prescribe opioids for the first several years of my career and residency,” he says. “I was giving them out like Tic Tacs, if you will.” All that changed a few years ago, when he met a woman overdosing on heroin. “She told me that she actually got hooked after being prescribed Percocet for an ankle sprain,” Dr. Stader says. “And one thing that struck me, earlier that day I had prescribed Percocet for an ankle sprain and thought that I was practicing really good medicine.” Now, he and his hospital, Swedish Medical Center, are a part of the Colorado Hospital Association’s ALTO Project, a program aiming to reduce the use of opioids in emergency rooms in the state, using alternative pain treatment.The program is paying off.However, experts say it's too late. The crisis is so bad, so simply improving prescription practices is not enough to combat opioid abuse. In an article published in JAMA Psychiatry, doctors say in addition to tighter drug restrictions, psychiatrists specializing in depression and suicide, along with new research and treatments, are needed. Now, they treat patients with medications like Tylenol and ibuprofen. For stronger pain, they use ketamine, bentyl and lidocaine, which is often used in the dentist’s office. Two million Americans struggle with opioid addiction and 42,000 people died of overdoses in 2016 alone. 1678

A British Airways flight from London to Spain was evacuated after smoke filled the cabin moments before the flight was due to land.Passengers said that the incident -- which occurred on Monday -- was "terrifying" and felt like a "horror film", with travelers shouting that they were unable to breathe.British Airways confirmed a "technical issue" on flight BA422, which was traveling from London Heathrow to Valencia on Monday afternoon, and said passengers were evacuated from the aircraft.One traveler on board, Lucy Brown, told CNN that the smoke had been thick with a metallic, chemical odour, adding: "We covered our mouths with our clothes. We don't know why oxygen masks didn't deploy.""Passengers started shouting they couldn't breathe," she said."Flight BA422 from Heathrow to Valencia experienced a technical issue on its landing approach into Valencia. All our customers were evacuated safely by our crew and met by the airport's emergency services," a BA spokesman told CNN in a statement.There were 175 passengers on board the flight. A spokesman confirmed to CNN that three customers were taken to hospital following the incident "as a precaution", and have since been discharged."Oxygen masks are used for loss of pressurization. It is not standard procedure for oxygen masks to be used when there is smoke in the cabin and at low altitude," a spokesperson for BA told CNN.In a statement published on their website, the British Airline Pilots' Association (BALPA) said that they believed the pilots landed the aircraft "wearing full oxygen masks and goggles." Passenger oxygen masks were not deployed because they, "unlike pilot and cabin crew oxygen systems, are not designed to be used in smoke events as they mix the oxygen supply with the ambient air."British Airways said there were two pilots and six cabin crew on board."What scared us on the plane was no tannoy system working to communicate what was happening and it taking 15 mins to get emergency doors to open," Brown told CNN."The safety of our customers and crew is always our highest priority. In addition to our team on site, other British Airways team members have arrived in Valencia to help our customers and our local airport partners with anything they need," the BA spokesman said."Pilots are highly trained and ready to handle emergencies of all kinds, but when one happens, the only thing that matters is whether the job gets done," Brian Strutton, BALPA general secretary, said in a 2485
