The move comes in response to a new report from the General Accountability Office that the OCI suffers from lax oversight, despite increased in funding and staffing over the past decade. In fact, the FDA hasn’t reviewed most OCI offices in more than three years. The OCI investigates counterfeit drugs and other bad stuff, as well as misconduct by FDA employees. The GAO concluded the FDA “has relied largely on the OCI director to determine which aspects of OCI’s operations and investigations are made known to FDA’s top management.” The GAO found assessments of six OCI field offices ar...

Introduction: I am currently studying autoimmune soft tissue pathologies and unfortunately there is so much overlap between them they all seem to merge into a fuss in my mind. In order to set some concrete divisions I am looking from a medical model approach at antigens and antibodies specific to particular conditions. It is not much practical use to an occupational therapist, but knowing what these tests are used for cannot hurt academically or when interpreting medical notes, and you never know; the knowledge could earn some MDT brownie points. Once again, I am not a biochemist or immunologist so do not take any of this as gospel. read more (Source: meta-ot blogs) meta-ot blogs blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2415875 Mon, 18 May 2009 17:46:13 +0100 2415875 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1509074&cid=t_96877_150_f&fid=35777&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FPharmalot%2F%7E3%2F309568758%2F Last month, Joe Barton, the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, demanded info that would explain a drop in arrests and convictions by the Office of Criminal Investigations. Now, Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, wants to know if cases were dropped due to influence from other FDA officials, The Wall Street Journal writes. The moves follow a report released last winter by House Republicans showing the FDA isn’t bouncing researchers and drugmakers that commit crimes when seeking approval for meds. Grassley cites the scandal over the Sanofi-Aventis antibiotic, Ketek. At issue is concern that OCI is, instead, overly emphasizing drug-abuse cases, such as OxyContin, and its efforts often duplicate probes by the Drug Enforcement Ad...

Well, maybe you do, maybe you don't ask, but I'll answer anyway as if you did:It was the paranormal investigation I did here in Fort Worth! Yep, I did it! I wasn't sure if it would be my kind of thing, but to my surprise, it turned out better than I expected.First, I'll fill you in on my expectations, which were not high. I thought maybe I would have nothing in common with this "type" of person, which I couldn't define, necessarily, but assumed there would be a "type". Then I thought it would be boring. I thought I'd get scared, or find myself shooing spiders the whole time, that the people wouldn't like me, that I would be too sleepy . . . Many expectations, all very low.The best case scenario turned out to be true. And that is that I liked all of the people, the...
