Medical wards or in the same hospital before the establishment of the unit, did not find significant differences. Of the two studies reporting differences, one5 suffered from dissimilar groups in terms of stroke diagnostic categories, and the other6 found the most significant reduction in case fatality among the under 50 age group. Only two patients in the present trial were in this age group, so that studies are difficult to compare. Two recent studies 1 0 " were more similar to the present study in that they compared mortality in nonintensive care stroke units to that on general medical wards. As in this study no significant differences in mortality were found. At this point in time, we cannot conclude that the short-term survival, of acute stroke patients is improved for patients managed in stroke units rather than on general medicine wards. However it must be remembered that there was a trend towards better survival in Team patients in both this and the Garraway study.10 Perhaps because of the relatively small sample sizes involved, the differences were not found to be "significant." The disparity in case fatality rates between males 20% ; and females 39% ; is puzzling and cannot be explained on the basis of age, sub-type of stroke or the severity of the initial deficit, as these prognostic factors were taken into account. The reasons for this finding in our study are unknown. Studies in the literature have not found sex to be related to survival28"29 except for patients with cerebral embolism.30 The finding that male survivors achieved better motor performance scores under Team care while females did so after receiving the Traditional approach, was unexpected. A motor performance measure was chosen in an attempt to specifically reflect the physical status of the patients and to help eliminate psychological and social adjustments that may be necessary for an individual to function independently in activities of daily living.14 Retraining physical capacity is most closely allied to the domain of the physical therapist. In this study, physical therapy was given to all Team survivors and all but one female and two male survivors in the Traditional group. All patients receiving physical therapy had started treatment an average of.

Eneral Jzef Bem is one of the eminent Poles whose life is connected with Krakow. He was born in Tarnw in 1794 and spent his childhood in the vicinity of Krakow. He lived with his parents on the "Gaj" family estate and attended St Ann's Middle School in the years 1801-09. General Bem's portrait is displayed in the hall of the 1st High School in Krakow, along with other portraits of famous graduates. Jzef Bem took part, as the general of the Polish, Hungarian and Turkish armies, in the campaign of 1812 and in the November Uprising 1830-31. In the period of the Springtide of Nations, he was the one to lead the defence of Vienna and command the Hungarian Army in Transylvania. After the defeat of the uprising he moved to Turkey, where he died in 1850. As a result of the Polish government efforts, the body of the famous General was brought back to his hometown of Tarnw in 1929. On its way from Turkey, the coffi n was displayed in Wawel Castle so that the grateful Nation could pay a tribute to the General's memory. The Krakow General Bem's Route takes us around the places located in the nearest vicinity to Gaj. Among other places, it leads us through so-called Piaski, where a Nazi penal camp for French and Belgian prisoners of war was situated in the years 194244. A commemorative stone was put in this place in 1966. The following place on the Route is the hill of Borkowska Gra with the Church of Victorious Mother of God and a Classicist manor dating back to the middle of the 19th century in a historic park. Further on the Route, through Kobierzyn, Sidzina and Libertw we reach Gaj. In Kobierzyn we visit J. Babiski Neuropsychiatric Hospital founded in the years 1912-17.

This study shows that CD34' stem cells selected from the blood of an HLA-identical sibling donor can successfully reconstitute hematopoiesis and lymphopoiesis. The human CD34 + cell fraction can establish full hematopoietic activity and stable hematopoietic recovery after allogeneic transplantation. This is in line with the experience in autologous transplantation, in which hematopoiesis recovers if CD34 + blood cells are used.", " The critical number of allogeneic CD34' cells from blood for durable lymphohemopoietic engraftment is not yet known. However, if the cell numbers from BM transplantation BMT ; are calculated for comparison, then 200 x lo6 nucleated cells per kilogram body weight are considered to be sufficient: ' which contain approximately 1% CD34' cell .' This results in 2 X lo6CD34 + BM cells per kilogram. In autologous blood stem cell transplantation, the standard number of CD34 + cells for reliable hematopoietic recovery is 2.0 to 5.0 X lo6per kilogram.x225 However, it is not clear yet whether this figure is also valid for allogeneic blood.

OUTLOOK Safe Harbor In addition to historical information, this annual report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Reference is made in particular to forward-looking statements regarding the anticipated level of future product sales, royalty revenues, expenses and profits, the timing of clinical trials, the potential outcome of clinical programs, regulatory approvals, the marketing of additional products, the impact of competitive products, the anticipated outcome of pending or anticipated litigation and patent-related proceedings, facility expansion and the value of investments in certain marketable securities. These and all other forward-looking statements are made based on Biogen's current belief as to the outcome and timing of such future events. Factors which could cause actual results to differ from Biogen's expectations and which could negatively impact Biogen's financial condition and results of operations are discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report. Unless required by law, Biogen does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements. D e p AVO N E X Biogen's ability to sustain increases in revenues and profitability is primarily dependent on the level of revenues and profitability from AVONEX and AMEVIVE sales. The level of revenues from sales of AVONEX will depend on a number of factors, including: Biogen's ability to sustain market share of AVONEX in light of competitive products for the treatment of multiple sclerosis ``MS'' ; , continued market acceptance of AVONEX worldwide; Biogen's ability to maintain a high level of physician and patient satisfaction with AVONEX; the nature of regulatory and pricing decisions related to AVONEX worldwide; the overall growth of the MS market; the extent to which AVONEX continues to receive and maintains reimbursement coverage; the success of ongoing development related to AVONEX in expanded MS indications; the success of ongoing development of the pre-filled syringe formulation of AVONEX; and the continued accessibility of third parties to vial, label, and distribute AVONEX on acceptable terms. AMEVIVE was approved in the U.S. in January 2003. In February 2003, Biogen withdrew its application for approval to market AMEVIVE in the EU. Biogen's decision was based on a determination by the Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products, the scientific advisory board of the regulatory authority in the EU, that more clinical information is needed to approve AMEVIVE. Biogen plans to develop the additional information necessary to obtain approval of AMEVIVE for psoriasis patients in the EU. Developing the data and re-filing the application may take several years and there is no assurance that Biogen will ever obtain approval of AMEVIVE in the EU. There is also no assurance that our commercial efforts in the U.S. will be successful. The level of revenues from sales of AMEVIVE in the U.S. will depend on a number of factors, including: the ability to gain and to sustain market share and to continue to increase market share of AMEVIVE as the competitive landscape for AMEVIVE becomes more challenging; Biogen's ability to maintain a high level of physician and patient satisfaction with AMEVIVE; the nature of regulatory and pricing decisions related to AMEVIVE worldwide; the extent to which AMEVIVE receives and maintains adequate reimbursement coverage; and the accessibility of third parties to vial, label, and distribute AMEVIVE on acceptable terms. Competition Biogen faces increasing competition from other products for the treatment of relapsing forms of MS. In 2002, AVONEX competed in the U.S. and EU markets primarily with four products: COPAXONE glatiramer acetate, sold by Teva Neuroscience, Inc. ``Teva'' ; in the U.S. and co-promoted in by Teva and Aventis Pharma in the EU; BETASERON, sold by Berlex in the U.S. and sold under the name BETAFERON by Schering A.G. in the EU; NOVANTRONE mitoxantrone for injection ; sold by Amgen, Inc. ``Amgen'' ; and Serono S.A. in the U.S. and sold by Amgen in the EU; and REBIF, which was launched in the U.S. by Serono, Inc. ``Serono'' ; in March 2002. Serono announced in July 2002 that it reached an agreement to copromote REBIF in the U.S. with Pfizer Inc. A number of companies, including Biogen, are working to develop products to treat MS which may in the future compete with AVONEX. AVONEX also faces competition from off-label uses of drugs approved for other indications. Some of Biogen's current competitors are also working to develop alternative formulations for delivery of their products which may in the future compete with AVONEX. Biogen believes that competition among treatments for MS will be based on product performance, service and price. AMEVIVE competes with existing therapies for moderate-to-severe psoriasis, such as oral retinoids, steroids, methotrexate and cyclosporin, along with other drugs, as discussed below, approved for other indications. In the future, AMEVIVE will also compete with new drugs currently in development for psoriasis, drugs now approved for other indications that may be approved for psoriasis, and off-label uses of drugs approved for other indications. Genentech and Xoma Corporation are co-developing RAPTIVA efalizumab ; , an antibody designed to block certain immune cells as a potential treatment for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Genentech has filed for regulatory approval of the drug in the U.S. Serono has an exclusive license to RAPTIVA in the EU and other countries and has filed for regulatory approval of the drug in the EU. ENBREL etanercept ; , a drug sold by Amgen, Inc., has been approved by the FDA as a treatment for psoriatic arthritis, a joint disease that can be associated with the skin plaques of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. In January 2003, Amgen announced positive results from a Phase 3 clinical study of ENBREL in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and is conducting a second Phase 3 clinical study in psoriasis. Centocor, Inc. sells REMICADE infliximab ; worldwide as a treatment for other indications, including rheumatoid arthritis, and has completed a Phase 2 proof of concept study for REMICADE as a potential treatment for psoriasis. HUMIRA adalimumab ; , a drug sold by Abbott Laboratories, was also recently approved by the FDA as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Abbott is undertaking clinical trials in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. In addition, a number of other companies are working to develop products to treat psoriasis which may ultimately compete with AMEVIVE. R oya l t y Biogen receives royalty revenues which, prior to 2001, contributed a significant amount to its overall profitability. Royalty revenues decreased significantly in recent years and through the third quarter of 2002 primarily as the result of patent expirations and a royalty dispute with Schering-Plough. In October 2002, Biogen settled its dispute with Schering-Plough over royalties on U.S. sales of alpha interferon products. The Company received a final settlement payment resulting in a net gain of .2 million. In addition, Schering-Plough agreed, effective October 1, 2002, to commence royalty payments on U.S. sales of alpha interferon products under an interference settlement entered into in 1998. Under the terms of the interference settlement, Schering-Plough agreed to pay Biogen royalties commencing in mid-2002 under certain patents to be issued to Hoffman-La Roche Inc. ``Roche'' ; and Genentech in consideration of Biogen's assignment to Schering-Plough of the alpha interferon patent application that had been the subject of the settled interference with a Roche Genentech patent. Schering-Plough entered into an agreement with Roche as part of settlement of the interference. The first of the Roche Genentech patents was issued on November 19, 2002 and has a seventeen-year term. Even with resolution of the dispute with Schering-Plough, royalty revenues may fluctuate as a result of future patent expirations and other factors such as pricing reforms, health care reform initiatives, other legal and regulatory developments and the introduction of competitive products may have an impact on product sales by Biogen's licensees. In addition, sales levels of products sold by Biogen's licensees may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the timing and extent of major events such as new indication approvals or government-sponsored programs. Since Biogen is not involved in the development or sale of products by its licensees, it cannot be certain of the timing or potential impact of factors which may affect sales by licensees.

SLE 7 patients ; , 2 patients with RA, 2 with SS, and 2 with Scl ; . Only 3 of our patients have been pregnant after the onset of the diease. One, with a poor control of her disease, had an abortion during the rst trimester, and was also on treatment with MTX. The other two had the disease under control and 2 normal pregnancies with good foetal outcome was achieved. Both suspended immunosuppressants during pregnancy and were able to decrease steroid dosage, without increasing disease activity. Conclusions: Pregnancy in myositis patients is a rare event. Pregnancies occurring in myositis patients with the disease under clinical remission can result in good foetal outcome. The activity of the disease remains stable. These results are consistent with the literature from recent years, and are probably due to better control of disease activity. 345. TNFA, IL10 and TGFB1 gene polymorphism in myositis and mixed connective tissue disease MCTD ; A. Bakari Rheumatology Unit, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institute, Sweden Background: The polymorphisms in the regulatory regions of cytokine genes have been considered as potential markers for disease susceptibility. Some of these polymorphisms are proved to have a functional role. These could be important for understanding the pathogenesis of myositis and MCTD, which are inammatory diseases of unknown genetic background. Our aim was to investigate whether 308 TNFA, 1082 IL10 and codon 25 TGFB1 gene polymorphisms associate with myositis and or MCTD or with certain clinical and immunological parameters in these disorders. Patients and Methods: 72 patients with myositis and 24 patients with MCTD were genotyped for the above markers and compared with a control group from the same population. Gene specic PCR with restriction endonuclease mapping was used for the detection of polymorphisms. Results: Our preliminary data suggested that the frequency of T2 allele of TNF was signicantly increased in myositis patients compared to the controls. There were 28 homozygous TNF T1 T1 39% ; , 39 heterozygous T1 T2 54% ; and 5 homozygous T2 T2 7% ; with frequency alleles 39 and 61% T1 and T2 respectively ; . Regarding the MCTD patients there was a tendency for those patients who had high serum levels of TNF-a to carry the T2 allele P value was 0.08 ; .
