She also conducted acute toxicology studies and both in vivo and in vitro immune assays, and has studied the immunotoxicologic properties of many compounds, including immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory drugs, in several animal species including mice, rats, nonhuman primates, and humans.   We continue on with my interview.   Q. 10. Will you please contrast a single dose vaccine versus multiple dose vaccines. In the past, many vaccines were packaged in large vials so that multiple doses could be given from the same vial. These vials typically contained thim... vactruth.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4911488 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 06:03:24 +0100 4911488 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2920181&cid=t_106062_87_f&fid=38368&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FDisruptiveWomenInHealthCare%2F%7E3%2FhcBhgXVv0AU%2F The following guest post on the subject of drug adherence is written by Joyce A. Cramer. Joyce is Associate Research Scientist at Yale University School of Medicine as well as President of Epilepsy Therapy Project, a 501-c-3 organization accelerating new therapies for people with epilepsy. “Drugs don’t work in people who don’t take them” said former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. While performing research on this topic since the 1980s, I have been continually surprised that the results are uniform: People take, on average, three-fourths of medication as prescribed1. This has held true across many diseases and types of medications. There seems to be no consequence so severe that everyone with that disorder takes all doses (e.g., organ transplantation, epilepsy, asthma, etc.). One ...

Take a Tylenol or some other brand of acetamenophen, right? Howe about a toothache? Menstrual cramps? Broken arm? There are many types of over-the-counter pain relievers available to the consumer, namely acetaminophen, ibuprofen (Advil) and ASA (Aspirin). And, for many people, they’re very effective. The problem is, who is monitoring how much of these medications they take and how often? It must be safe! “I can buy it off the shelf, it’s got to be safe.” Sound familiar? That’s the way many people think about medications they can just walk in and buy. That’s not always the case. Yes, the medication itself is usually safe for most people if taken in the right way, but that leaves a lot of “ifs” in there, doesn’t it? A maj...

The poll, conducted by USA Today newspaper, the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health, found that 50 percent of Americans take at least one prescription medication daily and that 19 percent are taking four or more prescription drugs. But four out of ten people said that it’s at least somewhat of a problem to pay for the medicines with 16 percent saying it’s a serious problem. Moreover, three in 10 didn’t fill at least one prescription during the two years prior to the survey because of cost and 23 percent said that they have cut pills in half or skipped doses in order to make th...

This is a good thing -- increased sensitivity in this case means lower doses of drug therapy work as good or better than higher doses.Researchers looked at more than 21,000 genes in cells common to non-small-cell lung cancer, the most common type of the disease. Of these genes, 87 came up with heightened sensitivity to the chemotherapy drug Taxol. To be exact, the genes were 1,000 times more sensitive when exposed to the drug for 48 hours.Chemotherapy is a very blunt instrument, says one researcher. Locating genes that make chemotherapy drugs more potent at lower doses is a critical step toward tailoring treatment and minimizin...

But the refinement of such a creation is actually in the works and before long, you may be asking not for a gold or decorative tooth but for one capable of doling out your drugs in the exact doses and at the right times.Think about this:Researchers from Europe and Israel are working right now on a tiny dispensing system called IntelliDrug. Their goal is to create parts small enough they can fit into a false tooth placed in the back of the mouth. The device will release a specific amount of medication at certain intervals so patients receive the proper dosage right on schedule.This invention, crafted by an Israeli ...

Should I take them? Or should I leave them? Sometimes I think supplements could surely help me with whatever I'm lacking in my diet. Other times I don't want to mess with what might be working just fine in my body. Now if a doctor tells me my iron is low, I'll take a supplement to boost my levels. But if there is nothing apparently off kilter in my system, I tend to just leave things alone. I'm glad at the moment for my current plan. Because nutritionists now suspect that high doses of vitamins and minerals -- believed by some to prevent cancer -- might actually be harmful.Think about this: The American Medical Association journal JA...

And many of the snippets of information are -- yes -- somehow linked to cancer. Think about this: A new ultrasound technique lets radiologists distinguish between malignant and benign breast lesions. Using elasticity imaging, researchers accurately identified harmless and cancerous lesions in almost all of the 80 cases studied. If results can be reproduced in a large trial, this technique could significantly reduce the number of breast biopsies required. Scientists seeking new treatment for diseases can use an online tool developed by researchers at MIT and Harvard. The Connectivi...
