The concern from the FDA is over a heart rhythm abnormality called long QT syndrome.
In contrast, a shorter QT interval was seen for the drug bupropion, even at higher doses.

The FDA gets very concerned about drugs that could elevate this QT interval into a worrisome zone.
The first half of the year was marked by what HSBC likes to call quantitative tightening or QT.

Earlier this week, I decamped from Brooklyn to spend a little QT with my parents in Tacoma, Wash.
In theory, the longer the QT interval is above normal, the more the risk of sudden cardiac death.
Both citalopram and escitalopram, as well as methadone, was linked with a small but significantly longer QT interval.
Methadone was included in the analysis as it is also known to contribute to a longer QT interval.

Accordingly, Nokia has begun work on its plan to have a single platform based on the Qt framework for native application development.
For men the correct QT interval is normally less than 420 milliseconds and for women it is normally less than 440 milliseconds.

Lengthening the QT interval can raise the risk of sudden cardiac death, especially in people who have a genetic condition called long QT syndrome.
Some of the most disaffected developers were those who specialized in Qt, a cross-platform application and user interface framework that Nokia acquired in 2008.

They found a small but significantly longer QT interval for SSRIs citalopram and escitalopram as well as for methadone and the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline.

So if Byetta is on the market with no QT problem, why is the FDA worried about a longer acting version of the same drug?
Qt, which is open source and has already been around for years but is just really getting the limelight today, makes app creation much quicker than before.

The researchers included the methadone patients for comparison because this drug (used for pain relief and to wean addicts off heroin) is known to prolong QT interval.
Whereas a developer might have spent half a day creating a very simple app for Symbian, they can probably do it in just a few minutes with Qt.

Including macro-prudential policies, monetary tightening, and credit controls, QT, added to fragile economic recoveries in Europe and North America, have led to a fall in the export complex.

As part of the cross-form factor convergence, Unity will be getting a rewrite entirely in QT and QML (the current version uses a Nux-based shell on the desktop).
That gives Qt developers access to more than 100 million Nokia devices for their apps today and will include another 150 million Symbian devices before the transition to Windows Phone.

The unexpected study is to check for a common but deadly side effect called QT prolongation, in which the electrical signals that cause the heart to beat are drawn out.
To assess how common a problem long QT linked to SSRI use might be, US researchers decided to look at the medical records of more than 38, 00 patients from New England.
According to reports from analyst Mark Schoenebaum of ISI, the FDA wants to ensure that a drug does not increase the QT interval by more than 10 milliseconds even in extreme cases.
