For those who live near Boston, Massachusetts, someone wants to take your healthy stool to fix people with C.Dif. However, one has to be examined first. It *must* be a healthy stool. Open Biome is in Medford, Massachusetts.  Depending on which map engine one uses, it's 5.5 - 18 miles away from Boston. 
Why should one care? If one has a C.Diff infection, and one has tried and failed various medicines (flagyl or vancocin for instance) and one has chosen an inexpensive health plan that may not cover Dificid, without  the consumer feel they are breaking bank, then one may want to use a non-pharmacologic therapy. 
It's like giving blood, the healthy don't need it, but the sick will very much appreciate it.

Target is closing all stores in Canada and opening 15 stores in the US. Per CBC news the stores lost money daily in part because products were not available to customers. Target did not expect its canadian counterpart to be profitable for at least 6 years, which made closing a logical option. Thus, the stock price increased.

Jean Coutu's pharmacy purchased four pharmacy files from target per Mass Market Retailers. Per Drug Topics target is closing 107 franchises. The franchises are independently owned. Target wanted them to leave by Feb 27, but they are suing to get more time.

Slightly off topic: but here's some motivation to eat right, exercise, and diet appropriately. If one does this then you can be as good looking in your 40s as one was decades ago, and still be a cheerleader. Two women did it, and this webpage highlights one for the Saints. The other team is the Bengals whose cheerleaders are nicknamed the Ben-Gals.

Two brands for Naltrexone include Depade and Revia. Considering that two months ago WHO issued guidelines for preventing overdose by lay people with naloxone it might be a good factoid to recall. Scotland's program reduced both the percentage and total opioid deaths.
Two other names to be aware of are combination products:
Embeda - morphine sulfate/naltrexone
Contrave - naltrexone and bupropion
