Celgene Settles Whistleblower Suit for $280 Million
Late July 2017, Celgene Corp., a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, agreed to pay $280 million to settle fraud allegations related to the promotion of two cancer treatment drugs for uses not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The settlement resolves allegations brought in a “whistleblower” lawsuit that Celgene promoted two cancer drugs – Thalomid and Revlimid – for uses that were not approved by the FDA and not covered by federal health care programs. The allegations included the use of false and misleading statements about the drugs, and paying kickbacks to physicians to induce them t...

Lions and Sentinel Nodes! Oh My!
Eid Mubarak!It seems surreal that two weeks have passed so quickly. As today is the holiday of Eid Al-Adha, the hospital has very little activity, and I ' m taking the day to pack, catch up on correspondence, and perhaps pay one last visit to Slipway for lunch.This was on Page 16 of the local English-language newspaper a few days ago. A coincidence with my arrival in country? I wonder...I haven ' t posted since heading out to Ngorongoro Crater, so let me briefly fill you in on that incredible experience. I ' ll place some photos here, but they can all be found at THIS LINK for your leisurely perusal. I left ...

Think Different about Patient Engagement: Aetna, Apple, and a Vision of Digital Health ’s Future, Part 2
By LYGEIA RICCARDI This is the second post in a series on digital health inspired by Aetna and Apple, whose developing partnership is poised to impact millions of Americans. Part 1 is Mystery Mission in LA. Getting to Patient Engagement “Patient engagement” is a popular phrase in healthcare these days, but how do you actually get people to take a greater role vis a vis their own health and healthcare? As the first Director of Consumer eHealth at ONC in the US federal government, I spent several years making the case for strengthening patient engagement with technology, and trying to figure out how to make it happen a...

The 2017 Summer Scholars Working at the SENS Research Foundation
Each year, the SENS Research Foundation accepts a group of young life science academics and puts them to work on projects in aging research, both at the foundation and in allied laboratories, creating ties between research groups that can help to advance the state of the art. This year's batch has worked on a diverse set of projects that spread out beyond core SENS initiatives such as allotopic expression of mitochondrial genes. Reading through their projects is a reminder that a great deal can be accomplished these days given a small team, a little funding, and an equipped laboratory. Progress in medical research is no lo...

Health care at the N of 1
In the past few weeks, there has been a question regarding my use of the hashtag #Nof1 along with how I end the majority of my posts and tweets: Health care is delivered at the N of 1. One person even believed there might be a trademark infringement with the company N-of-1 who provides molecular testing for patients and then delivers evidenced-based medical recommendations for oncology patients. The reality is that, while the company N-of-1 provides services, the topic I speak about is how the evolution of health care is occurring. This seed was planted in me during my clinical rotations in 1998–1999 while at the Univers...

Is bee venom a good anti-aging ingredient? Episode 163
Is bee venom a good anti-aging ingredient? Monika asks…Korean Bee Venom essence but it does seem to work. My question is the bee venom really magic or is there something else that removes the spots? RS: Thanks Monika…this gives me the perfect excuse time to remind listeners to go back to Episode 105 and listen to the story about how Perry got stung in the eye by a bee. If nothing else, just go the webpage and check out the picture of his face. It’s horrific. I’m not kidding. But let’s put my personal revulsion aside and try to figure out why this product seemed to work on Monika’s acne. PR: We found a study pub...

Making Smoking Cessation Work For People With Mental Illnesses And Other Vulnerable Populations
The prevalence of cigarette smoking among adults is now at a modern low of 15 percent, and youth rates are also down for high school seniors, with only 3.4 percent smoking daily. Yet this is not a time to become complacent and move on to other public health problems. As many as 40 million people still smoke, and half of them will die prematurely as a result. Furthermore, smoking rates remain high among the most vulnerable populations, such as people with mental illnesses or substance use disorders, necessitating policies and strategies targeted specifically at them, as well as support for tobacco control at the federal, st...

The ‘Tanning Tax’ Is A Public Health Success Story
Among the lesser known provisions in the now-rejected Republican House and Senate health care bills was a plan to eliminate an excise tax on tanning bed use. Tanning first became fashionable when Coco Chanel popularized the practice in the 1920s, making lounging outside in the sun a symbol of leisure, relaxation, and health. In the late 1970s, pioneering businesses began to offer ultraviolet (UV) radiation beds as a shortcut to fashionable tanned skin; by the 1990s, indoor UV tanning services were ubiquitous staples of the American beauty industry. Despite its popularity, research has shown that exposure to UV radiation is...

To Speed Access To Compassionate Use, Look Beyond The FDA
In mid-July, the nonpartisan research arm of the federal government, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), released its long-awaited verdict on how the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is handling compassionate use. As anyone who saw Dallas Buyers Club knows, compassionate use (also known as pre-approval access and expanded access) is when a drug company allows a patient who has no other treatment options to try a drug that is still in development and not FDA approved for use or sale. These patients are generally too sick to participate in a clinical trial—which has inclusion and exclusion criteria to try t...

Trumping Up a Health Care Charity - Trump Organization Received Increasing Revenue from a Children ' s Cancer Care Charity
While health and health care are clearly not central interests of the currentUS President, Donald J Trump, we have noted some disturbing stories about the effects of his leadership on health care.  Most importantly, prior to the election, a story appeared alleging that Mr Trump licensed his name, and actively supported the Trump Network, which sold dodgy vitamin supplements to gullible consumers based on the results of urine tests of unproven, at best, accuracy (lookhere). While Mr Trump is controversial, to say the least, on multiple levels, never in modern history can I recall a president who was alleged to have bee...

Dr Ferrari
Kevin Williamson wrote a piece last month in the National Review bemoaning the hand wringing he sees occurring across America surrounding the threat of millions of Americans losing their health coverage with the intended repeal of the ACA and its replacement with TrumpCare. He calls this piece: The "Right" to Health Care, with the scare quotes performing the task expected. (What? Did you think you had a "right" to health care when you get sick, silly boy?) appended with the self-answering subtitleThere isn't oneboldly patched in the space before the opening lede.He then goes on to construct a thought experim...
