OrbusNeich Files Lawsuit Against Dr. Pavel Cervinka for Defamation

HONG KONG, March 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — OrbusNeich today
announced that it has filed a lawsuit in the Netherlands against
Dr. Pavel Cervinka and Masaryk Hospital in Usti nad Labem, Czech

discuss the study and investigate the circumstances surrounding the
reported adverse events. In response, Dr. Cervinka provided limited
