Kimberly Clark Corp. Research Report

"On the road with ON-Q: Post-Operative Pain Education Bus Tour", a nationwide campaign aimed at educating clinicians, administrators and other healthcare professionals about the importance of a post-operative pain management program has been initialized by I-Flow, a Kimberly-Clark Health Care Company. "For care providers, acute surgical pain management is an increasingly important issue, as the negative effects of powerful narcotics have become further realized," said Chris Barys, General Manager, I-Flow. "The goal of the mobile classroom is to give clinicians the education and resources they need to make the most optimal pain management decisions post-surgery, maintaining the patient's comfort and safety as the top priority." Powerful narcotics used to be the treatment of choice when it comes to post-surgical pain. This caused undesirable side-effects such as grogginess, immunosuppression, nausea and vomiting as well as the risk of addiction. By reducing the use of narcotics, with a pain pump, patients are more likely to experience better pain management and faster recovery times - patients typically go home an average of 1.1 days sooner than when treated with narcotics alone and hospitals realize additional cost savings.

Blyth, Inc. Research Report

Despite a slight decrease in net sales for 2012 Q4, Blyth has still managed to position itself for profitable growth. The sale of Sterno and its new, long-term understanding with ViSalus Founders to penetrate markets outside the U.S. has put the company in an advantage. "ViSalus's fourth quarter sales, at $127 million, represented 29% year-over-year sales growth," said Robert B. Goergen, Chairman of the Board and CEO for Blyth. "Moreover, its full year sales were $624 million versus $230 million in 2011. That ViSalus achieved such significant market penetration highlights the opportunity in opening additional markets outside of North America, beginning in 2013, following the lead of many global health and wellness competitors," he added. The company will also continue to invest in Candles & Home Décor and Catalog & Internet businesses in order to attain long-term sales and earnings growth.
