KUWAIT, Oct 21, (KUNA): Humidity increased Tuesday and this will improve the chances for rain late in the week, meteorologist at the civil aviation department Issa Ramadan told Kuna Tuesday. Ramadan pointed out that despite the decrease in temperature in the coming days, as autumn started around October 9 and will last until around November 4, temperatures will fall more rapidly as clouds build up in our skies. He clarified that day will be shorter than night, and that sunshine will be less severe. He also predicted that relative humidity was to sharply increase by Tuesday night in Kuwait along with coastal areas in Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries, noting that such a climate will continue till the beginning of next week and might cause suffering to those with asthma, allergies, diabetes, and blood pressure ailments.
Heavy rains are expected to fall in Oman, Yemen, and parts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia in the coming days due to a low pressure system extending over the Arabian Sea northward to the Arabian Peninsula, which might indicate more rain next year. Meanwhile, the Rains Damage Control Committee, headed by Undersecretary at the Ministry of Public Works and Municipal Affairs Abdulaziz Abdullrahman Al-Kolaib, is all set to face the rains. It has conducted maintenance operations at places which got damaged during previous rains and has tackled the project of repairing the drainage system in Mishref area, reports Al-Seyassah. In another development, Al-Kolaib received commercial attach at the French Embassy in Kuwait Paul Pauli and manager of Economic Mission Biard Denier in his office recently. The trio discussed ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two countries

Increases in PBS patient co-payments have made essential prescription medicines unaffordable for poorer patients and reduced their usage.
This is the conclusion of an Australian study (link) in Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety (Online 29 Sept), which found a link between higher copayments and reduced dispensing of prescription medicines.
With patient co-payments for PBS medicines having increased by 24% in January 2005, the study found a significant decrease in dispensing volumes in 12 of the 17 medicine categories studied.
These include anti-epileptic drugs, insulin, statins, asthma drugs, anti-platelet drugs, osteoporosis treatments and proton-pump inhibitors..
The largest decrease in dispensing was seen with medicines used in treating asymptomatic conditions or those with OTC alternatives.
The decrease in dispensings to social security beneficiaries was consistently greater than for general beneficiaries following the co-payments changes, said study co-author Dr Anna Hynd
