The European Space Agency launched its fourth cargo mission to the International Space Station on Wednesday, expending great energy to lift a record amount of mass aboard a spacecraft named for the scientist famous for equating the two quantities with the expression "E=mc^2."

The European Space Agency's(ESA) Automated Transfer Vehicle-4 (ATV-4), an unmanned cargo freighter, lifted off on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana at 5:52 p.m. ET. The second-to-last of ESA's five planned station resupply spacecraft launched since 2008, ATV-4 was named "Albert Einstein" after the iconic physicist known for the theory of relativity

Einstein's theorieshave been put to the test in space and his work has guided robotic spacecraft to other planets. ATV-4 is the first spaceship to bear Einstein's name, at the suggestion of the Swiss delegation to the European Space Agency. Einstein was born in Germany but studied and spent his early career in Switzerland. [Einstein Quiz: Test Your Knowledge of the Famous Genius]

Lifting off from the jungle spaceport along South America's northeast coast, ATV-4 soared spaceward with Europe's largest-ever load of dry cargo for the station. Packed with science experiments, crew supplies, a 3-D printed tool box and even copies of Einstein's manuscript explaining the foundation for the general theory of relativity, the craft is destined to dock with the orbiting laboratory on June 15.

New Kantar Health Study Shows 4 in 10 Psoriasis Patients Do Not See a Physician for Their Condition

Posted: at 11:54 am

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

Four in 10 psoriasis patientsincluding 25 percent of moderate to severe patientscurrently are not under the care of a physician for their condition, according to new research conducted by Kantar Health, a leading global healthcare consulting firm.

Results from a survey conducted among psoriasis patients in the U.S. show that while most patients who do see a physician for their psoriasis are satisfied with the medical care they receive, about one-third have stopped seeing a physician because of their dissatisfaction with their psoriasis treatment or progress. As disease severity increases, these patients are more likely to have changed physicians multiple times.

Patients who are dissatisfied with the care they receive cited their physicians inability to provide effective treatment as the primary reason for their dissatisfaction. Only four out of 10 claim to have a satisfactory level of clearing of their psoriasis plaques, with those using prescription treatments being the most satisfied with clearing but still falling short of their expectations. Furthermore, some patients also mentioned their physician had a lack of attention, emotional support or empathy as contributing to their dissatisfaction.

Physician advice is far and away the greatest influence on how psoriasis is treated, said Rose Lorenzo, director of research at Kantar Health. However, a relatively large number of moderate to severe patients are declining to see a doctor about their disease, and those who are being treated are much more likely to be dissatisfied with their physicians. Its important for physicians to set more realistic expectations on the level of psoriasis clearance they are likely to experience to help close the gap between expectations and treatment satisfaction.

About the Kantar Health Syndicated Patient Studies

The studys results were drawn from the Psoriasis Syndicated Patient Study, a nationally representative, self-administered survey. Topics covered include the health status, attitudes, behaviors and patient-reported outcomes among adults diagnosed with psoriasis.
