p>Introducing new drugs or medical devices to the market can take up to twenty years and can cost almost £2 billion to administer. A large number of aspects contribute to the conduct of research, product development and the actual clinical trials, which not only includes the clients' staff but also includes physicians, academic research specialists, clinical staff as well as patients or medical volunteers. The flow of data between the researchers and the sponsors should be maintained by the information system managers and this is monitored by the relevant regulatory authorities. Before the commencement of a drug development program, experts in health economics and other medical related fields...

A medical device should not be placed for sale in the market unless it passes industry standards. This is generally because they are used to respond to medical necessities of end users. Equipment irregularities may not just be a reason for hazards on the life of the patient. Even medical professionals are not exempted from unhygienic medical machineries. This is why federal guidelines need to be met. Federal guidelines are standards set for any item in the market. The Food and Drug Administration or FDA oversees the manufacture of medical devices. Find out how FDA categorizes the industrial items and see the standards behind these industrial products' assembly. Three classifications for medical...

Technology is a wonderful thing and it brings many changes. One of the industries which benefits great from technological advances is the health care industry. A finger oximeter is one of the latest items to be introduced to the market. These useful devices measure the amount of oxygen that is in the blood of the patient. It is generally clipped on to the tip of the finger. This is why they are called finger oximeters. They are extremely portable and light weight. In the past the only way to get some information about a patient's blood was to take a sample and test it. With an oximeter a reading can be taken without having to pierce the skin at all. This is done easily by placing the device on the...

Sherman Hospital in Elgin, IL, aimed to integrate patient monitoring devices with its electronic health records system but was hampered by some of the old devices that could not cope with this new technology. Instead of buying new devices, the hospital turned to Andover, MA - based Capsule Technologie, a vendor that has built an interface library for more than 415 medical devices. Capsule's bedside medical device interfaces rely on device drivers that are specific to each vendor, type and version of medical device. Installing Capsule's technology into the clinical setting is very easy and it took just 1 week to complete the transition. Although the technology was installed quickly, it took the...

Run a Google search on the Chinese phrase "Guanxi" will get you over 500,000 hits on topics mostly concentrated on doing business in China. The phrase has been over-used, over-quoted, and over-rated, for the past 20 years since China opened its commercial door to the rest of the world. Sometimes, the phrase has been hailed as the center and the focal point of running a successful business in China. Everything else, such as a sound business plan, a strong financial background, and genuine knowledge of the industry, becomes only the supporting cast. With Guanxi, some believe that running a business in China is as simple as taking a deep breath. Without it, it is deemed that any business will fail even...

The legal validity of digital signatures has changed the landscape for e-commerce globally. Along with popular applications like e-banking, e-tendering, and e-procurement, e-approvals, etc., the wagon of e-commerce is reaching new milestones everyday with the help of legally valid digital signatures. While assuring authentication and non-repudiation, PKI technology maintains integrity and confidentiality of digitally signed electronic documents. Several countries have now come up with laws assigning legal validity to digital signatures, and are making their use mandatory in the applications, which deal with sensitive data. In today's 'small' world, organizations are utilizing 'big' tricks like...

The accurate and standardized collection of data plays a vital role in the success of a clinical trial. An important step in electronic clinical data management (eCDM) is electronic data capture (EDC).However, the success of EDC is dependent on how well-trained and knowledgeable the clinical research coordinators and associates are in the use of EDC. There are many options for training on an EDC solution - printed materials, but these can quickly become out of date and the success is dependent on how the individual uses the material, classroom training, but this can be expensive to conduct or webcasts, which can be more cost effective to conduct, but participants can get lost in the large number of...

For some time biologics companies and laboratories have benefited from home-grown or off-the-shelf software solutions. Blood organizations for example often utilize LIMS systems and benefit from the large-scale data management that the popular LIMS systems provide. LIMS technology in fact is so valuable that "blood professionals" wouldn't even dream of manually managing the data that a LIMS system currently automates. The task would simply be too great, patient risk too high and the ROI far too meager. An Ironic Situation The irony of this situation is that 1) biologics companies understand the importance of data management and process automation in their highly regulated environments and that 2...

Some clinical laboratories get too caught up with CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) compliance and other laboratories neglect even the most general CLIA standards. Both types of laboratories could benefit from standardized automation solutions. Automated Administration Let's face it. Most CLIA regulations require the performance of iterate administrative tasks, and for most humans, iterate administrative tasks are a pain in the neck. It's no wonder that professionals working in a $30 billion per annum industry either do too much or get frustrated enough to do too little. The good news however is that administrative tasks today can generally be automated. In the case of CLIA...

When a marriage falls apart and children are sent to stay with one of the parents, the parents of the other parent have reason to be concerned. What happens to their rights and their interest in not losing contact with their grandchildren? They worry that they may never see their grandchildren again. Hence, it has been observed that some grandparents would appreciate visitation rights too. Below is some information about child custody and grandparents. Child custody can be fought for by grandparents, if they can prove that it is in the best interest of their grandchildren. The legal system would prefer to grant custody to either parent or both parents jointly. However, if parents are abusive and/or...

"As people age, their exercise capacity may decline - leading in turn to a decline in overall fitness that can impact health," noted Luigi Gratton, MD, vice president of medical affairs at Herbalife. A group of 16 male cyclists, aged 50 to 73 years, were randomly assigned to receive either the supplement (Niteworks; Herbalife International, Los Angeles...

Perhaps you may have listened to a particular popular song by the rock band Metalica. It details the plight of a wounded solder who is left with no arms or legs. He has also lost his ability to see hear and speak as well, so he really had problems. Are You Into Metalica Dude? The gist of the song, is that his wishes to not be kept alive by intrusive medical procedures were not being addressed. So there he laid in bed a complete veritable. However what the song fails to mention is that he obviously didn't have a living will. Read My Lips - No New Taxes! While the song is about a fictitious character, the fact of the matter is that this exact same tragedy is played out every day all over the globe...

swept the country a few months ago, when the public was alerted of a shortage for this year’s supply of flu vaccine. Health and Human Services secretary Tommy Thompson promised that those at risk—people over 65, children ages six months to two years, pregnant women, people with chronic illnesses, and health care workers—would be provided for, still leaving a large segment of the population potentially at risk. Fearful, consumers headed across the border to Canada while some began smuggling in illegal doses with the hopes of getting the coveted vaccine. Thankfully, that same under-immunized group has not been besieged by the sneezy-achy-stuffy head-fever that makes it hard to get...

The standard Massachusetts form of the Health Care Proxy can be completed quickly in a lawyer's office by checking a few boxes. But if you believe that form protects your interests, consider this: In the infamous Terri Schiavo case, Ms. Schiavo did have a signed and valid health care proxy. That was not enough to protect her from the involvement of the court, the media and the President in her private medical affairs. What did she do wrong? She didn't have a Living Will in place to make her wishes known to her Health Care Proxy. That opened the door to torturous arguments about what she would have wished for. Even more recently, famed heart surgeon, Michael E. DeBakey, who credited his Lebanese...

To Will or not to Will, that is the question? Whether 'tis nobler to let your family fight over what you've got and to suffer the slings and arrows of litigation fortune, or to properly have a Will prepared against the sea of troubles called intestate succession. Hamlet and humor aside, a properly drafted Will can make life a lot simpler for loved ones after you're gone. It's a fact of life, most of us do not want to face our own mortality and put off having a Will prepared. For those of us who live and who will die in Texas, we are fortunate to have one of the simplest probate processes in all of the 50 states. Everyone's situation is different. To create a plan for the distribution of your...

In yet another example of pharmaceutical hubris, Biopure has ballyhooed a study it financed, claiming it shows that their product is successful and safe. Reading the study itself, though, shows a completely different result: - The death rate was 1-2/3 times higher in those who received artificial blood. - Adverse events were 1-1/2 times higher in those who received artificial blood. - Serious adverse events were 1-2/5 times higher in those who received artificial blood. - Double the number of heart attacks occurred in those who received artificial blood. The number of strokes cannot be given a statistical outcome, because six people who received artificial blood had strokes, while there were no...

st seemed too absurd to be true, but there it was in the August 2, 2004 edition of Newsweek I picked up the other day: "According to HealthGrades, the health-care-rating organization that conducted the study, needless deaths averaged 195,000 a year in 2000, 2001, and 2002. 'That's the equivalent of 390 jumbo jets full of people dying each year,' says Dr. Samantha Collier, vice president of medical affairs." My mind struggled feebly to conjure up 390 jumbo jets going up in flames - it imploded hopelessly on crash number 8. I started to wonder what it all meant. How could so many “needless” deaths be happening when we're so advanced technologically? Why is this carnage allowed to continue...

American women are excited when they learn there is a new breast implant available. What is a cohesive gel implant? What does it cost compared to saline and silicone gel? What does it feel like? What size of an incision does it require? What size of scar does it leave? Is there a risk of unwanted rotation? The goal of augmentation surgery is to enhance the breast you have, not to distort it. That means selecting the proper size of cohesive implant is just as important as selecting the proper size of silicone gel or saline implant. You need to consider the body frame you have. Can the tissue and muscles of your chest support the volume and weight of the larger breasts you desire? Although it is...

Some people are born with acne prone skin while others are not. But for those who fall in the first category, natural treatment for acne proves beneficial in several ways. Primarily, it is safer, side-effect free and cheaper as compared to conventional treatments that could prove expensive in the long run. Then there is the question of easy availability which is a positive point in favor of natural treatment for people with acne prone skin. However, one should weigh all the factors that govern natural treatment for acne before opting for one that suits him or her. To begin with, it must be remembered that acne is a complex, multi-dimensional disease condition involving vital bodily organs like the...

The processes used by P&B companies may be quite different from that of other types of manufacturing and services industries, but that has not dented the applicability of 'Lean' concepts - because 'Lean' makes way for reduced costs and improved quality, which have universal applicability, especially in today's highly competitive globalized world. For better understanding, let us discuss some of the critical areas where 'Lean' concepts and methodologies can be successfully implemented in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Drug Research and Development (R&D) Research and development is the backbone of every successful P&B company, and since R&D costs form a major chunk of the...

During her research for a nutritional tool to help patients stabilize their blood glucose level, Dr, Francine Kaufman, M.D., past president of the American Diabetes Associations, found a combination of ingredients (uncooked cornstarch, fat, protein and other carbohydrates) that would stabilize  blood sugar levels for up to nine hours. Using this research, Dr. Kaufman went on to develop a patent-protected formula into a snack for diabetics. This diabetic snack is called Extend Bars. Successfully Manage Your Blood Sugar Because Extend Bars convert to blood sugar so gradually, they offer many benefits other carbohydrates cannot. Most carbohydrate snacks convert to sugar in less than two hours...

Coping with a chronic disease can be a difficult time for everyone involved. Depending on the situation, patients can feel restricted by the lack of viable treatment options. One alternative method of therapy often explored is the use of experimental drugs. These drugs are categorized as medicines that have not yet be approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for consumer release. The FDA approval process for prescription medication can span 10 to 15 years depending on the medication. This can be a substantial waiting period for patients who face limited windows of treatment for their disease. By participating in the clinical trials of an experimental medicine, the patient is afforded an...

If you've tried Googling the FDA requirements for Good Documentation Practices (GDP), you'll find that they don't exist because it's an expected practice and not a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requirement. At best, you can find a few references in the Medical Device Quality Systems manual (Section 9) and ICH Q7A (Section IV-A). Typically, when someone uses the term good documentation practices, it's in reference to entering data or making corrections to a controlled record. However, there are other aspects of good documentation practices that include the formatting of controlled records, signatures and approvals, and document hierarchy. This article focuses on how to enter data or make...

Health drinks come in all shapes and sizes. Over the years the label on our food and drink products has always been there but not always filled out with what we need to know. The FDA has done a nice job in developing rules on labeling consumer products to allow for comparison and make sure that what is in the product won't cause harm to the buyer. Science through research and development funding has uncovered many new finds when it comes to our health and nutrition related to food and drinks. However, when we are talking food and drinks we are not as regulated as say the pharmaceutical industry and some say we need to rethink our position on this. Over the past twenty years we have seen many new...

When you work in the food service industry there are so many amenities you need everyday. Even when working in a small, neighborhood deli, buying them in small amounts can become extremely costly. Purchasing the items you use on a daily basis from a wholesale supplier is an easy way to save your company time and money. Aprons, gloves, and hair caps are three of the most important things you will use on a daily basis. Adhering to the sanitation codes set by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is a make or break situation for delis, restaurants, and other food industries. When you don't follow the FDA requirements you will either be fined or worse, shut down. Rather than chancing an unhealthy...

On April 24, an article in the MIT Technology Review portrayed the immediate concern over the Wisconsin/WARF/Thomson patents on stem cells as how the patents will affect basic academic research, which, in turn, could affect the development of stem cell-based tools and therapies. The article mentioned a possible gambit by the state of California to ensure cooperation among researchers of different states. The oversight committee of California's CIRM recently announced that any California researchers who develop patented discoveries using California state funds must share their patents with other state researchers. Ed Penhoet of CIRM was quoted: "We hope WARF will reciprocate." Of course, one...

Finding a good and effective dietary supplement tablets is quite an uphill task because the market is flooded with so many different brands. The fact that the industry is not regulated also means that there is a high tendency for most of the brands to be substandard. However, if you know what to look for, you will definitely find an effective one. Dietary or nutritional supplements are important because they help to augment the nutrients we get from our daily diets.

Contrary to widespread belief, hydroquinone-based skin lightening products are not good for African-American skin. When hydroquinone is used on black skin in either high concentrations or for prolonged periods, it actually makes those areas appear darker!

Diverticula are saccular herniations that protrude through the wall of the colon. These "bowel pockets" are almost always asymptomatic (you can't feel them). They are caused by a sluggish, constipated bowel. These pockets fill with old fecal material which can be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. This can effect the entire body causing all types of toxic reactions. The Merck Manual, the medical industry's standard for the diagnosis and treatment of disease, tells us that colon degeneration is on the rise. The incidence of diverticulosis has increased dramatically over the last 40 years. It states, that in 1950, only 10% of adults over the age of 45 had this disease, in1955 15%, in 1972 30%, and...

Aging skin care is something that is gaining a lot of popularity in this age. This is because peers in our generation start aging faster than others. The reasons for this include the stress that we have to take in our daily work, continuous exposure to the harmful rays of the sun, frequent climatic changes, and exposure to the increasing pollutants in the atmosphere.
