Trying to lose 100 pounds on a diet is a great challenge, and totally achievable. I'm glad you're not interested in weight loss surgeries, pills or patches to lose 100 pounds. These things carry with them an inordinate amount of risk, and most have not even passed FDA regulation since they are not required to, due to the wording of the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), which basically treats weight loss supplements as food. In short, they are not governed as drugs that require FDA approval. Managing to lose 100 pounds on a diet will give you an enormous sense of accomplishment, and you'll not only look better, but you'll feel great too. "OK, enough with the rambling...get on...

The cosmetic surgery technique of applying permanent eyeliner was introduced in the early 1980's. It is a tattooing technique that permanently draws dark pigment on the upper and lower eyelids in order to simulate eyeliner. To accomplish the surgery, the eyelid is anesthetized in order to apply the tattoo safely. The eye ball is protected during the procedure via a steel contact lens so that the tattoo needle can not make contact with the eye surface. This type of procedure is typically done by a licensed M.D. who has specialty training in cosmetic and plastic surgery. The procedure of applying permanent eyeliner makeup is not without the possibility of medical complications. The tattooing pigment...

Pocatello has another city touching it to the North on the other side of the FWY 86 named Chubbock, which is growing well. Pocatello is named after the famous Indian Chief of the Shoshone Tribe. Recently Forbes named Pocatello one of the Top 10 Small Metro Communities, which is a good call.

The success factor of any treatment depends largely on the kind of results available and the number of side effects it has. Nowadays, all medical manufacturing units or techniques are emphasizing on the fact as how to cut down the negative aspects of the respective medication.

Medical writing can be divided into 3 broad categories: regulatory, promotional, and educational. Regulatory writing is a highly scientific niche that involves creating documents according to very specific templates and guidelines that report the results of clinical trials and are ultimately submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Mid- and large-size pharmaceutical companies hire medical writers with regulatory experience as contract or full-time employees to work on site. Smaller pharmaceutical and biotech companies often go through staffing agencies and recruiters to hire regulatory writers on a contract basis. What skills do you need to excel as a medical writer in the regulatory...

Proper and unbiased testing is an integral part of any manufacturing process. And this is especially vital in the pharmaceutical industry. Because of the pharmaceutical industry's inherent need for quality control, at the highest levels, a new form of testing was required to ensure the highest quality products available. This form of testing is known as third party testing, where an independent third party testing operation, test the quality of the product in question, off site at one of their testing plants. This ensures that both the government and the company itself cannot affect the testing, neither positively nor negatively, in any way. This ensures a true unbiased assessment on the quality of...

In the 1980's, JIT manufacturing methods became prevalent as a way of reducing waste and enhancing value to the company. A natural outgrowth of JIT or Just-in-time production is lean manufacturing, which focuses not just on raw material waste, but anywhere in the entire product flow process where waste can be eliminated. Loosely based on the success of Toyota Corporation (which has a methodology known as TPS or Toyota Production System) and the early works of Henry Ford, lean manufacturing can be implemented in two ways - one which focuses mainly on reducing waste and one which is more process based. All implementations of lean methodologies focus on using fewer resources, less space, less...

Have you ever taken prescribed medication? Have you ever wondered..."is there another way for me to get well or regulate my condition without these prescribed drugs?" Doctors and pharmaceutical companies have a "special" relationship. In fact, doctors are the targeted customers of pharmaceutical companies. The average person probably never gives the doctor/pharmaceutical company relationship a second thought. However, it's important to all of us who take prescribed meds to understand whether they absolutely have to take medication or if there are other options available (but they were prescribed meds as a result of their doctor's relationship with a pharmaceutical company). Pharmaceutical companies...

Here is an interesting pharmaceutical sales jobs scenario involving the very competitive antihypertensive market (blood pressure lowering agents). This is a market where new antihypertensive drugs are received quite well by many physicians as pharmaceutical companies who market them tend to aggressively promote the additional cardiovascular benefits of their products besides just saying that they simply lower blood pressure. Not surprising, the most popular drugs on the market tend to be the fairly newer ones. It is extremely difficult to market an older blood pressure drug against the top blockbusters widely used today. But one company was actually successful in doing just that. This pharmaceutical...

In September 2008, the world was shocked at the sight of little babies in China attached to dialysis machines as they fight for their lives. Yet, the news of contaminated milk formula did not gain much attention until it was realized that the melamine problem is not only restricted to China only but has actually spread globally. However, no ill effects of melamine has been reported outside China and its territories. Melamine is an organic compound with the official IUPAC name of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine and the chemical formula of C3H6N6. It is a solid white-colored base, and is odorless.

The Pharmaceutical industry is controlled by regulations which differ across borders. A Regulatory Audit, although inevitable, is an ostensibly feared event, as many a fate of a Manufacturing and/or marketing license depends on its outcome.

An audit is a series of activities and procedures to review the adherence to pre-determined regulations and standards. Audit in pharmaceutical industry is uniquely positioned to determine if the existing manufacturing processes are potent enough to promise safety and standardization. An audit report, produced as a...

It is not uncommon to feel claustrophobic, extreme anxiety, as well as high levels of stress, as you learn to cope with the monotony that is repetitive work. Although you may feel like this anxiety and stress are just a part of the job, there are things you can do to reduce this stress, and create a better mental state of health at your work environment. One of these steps is doing simple meditation exercises while at the workplace. Meditation in the workplace is actually not a...

The entire national conversation on "Health Care Reform" is based on the idea that if everyone just had health insurance ("access" to "health" care) then everyone would be healthier. Left unexamined in this assumption is where health actually comes from-does health really come from health insurance? Does fire insurance make you immune to fire? Does auto collision insurance prevent damage to your car? No, insurance is simply a way to pay for correcting damage to your house/car/body after it occurs. Health itself comes from doing things that are healthy, such as exercise, proper nutrition, adequate rest, pure air and water, positive mental attitude and of course a nervous system free of interference...

The fear of swine flu, the H1N1 virus, has decreased. A few months ago, the swine flu pandemic was front page news all over the world. Everyone was worried that he might be struck by this dreaded H1N1 virus. Many schools were closed and many people avoided public places like the 'plague'. Experts, however, warn us to brace ourselves for an avalanche of H1N1 this fall. Vaccine manufacturers are working 'feverishly' to develop an effective vaccine.

As of now, there are limited quantities of H1N1 vaccines available, but are increasing on a daily basis. Both the Nasal Spray and injections are available.

Some doctors are recommending that we get vaccinated against Swine Flu at the first opportunity while other doctors are currently against it. CONS Not enough information from the FDA.

going down the isles of any health food store, you'll find more and more cereals, breads, crackers, desserts, and supplements that claim to be gluten-free. Gluten refers to the peptides in wheat, rye, and barley that are problematic for gluten-sensitive individuals and cause great amounts of damage to the small intestine of those with celiac disease. About two million people in the US have celiac disease, and possibly more that have yet to be diagnosed. Gluten-free foods can help people with celiac disease, as well as many other conditions, feel better. There is currently no FDA regulation that defines the term "gluten-free" in labeling of foods, as long as the claim is not misleading. Many...

America has a choice. Health care can either be part of the free market - or not. Or it can remain a hodgepodge mixture - as it already is. According to Abraham Lincoln, "I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts." America, you, the people, need to decide. Health care has two primary elements: products and services. Products are easier to analyze than services, so let's focus there. Health care products include items like crutches, wheelchairs, hearing aids, eye glasses, artificial hips, splints, medications, lab tests, etc. We all understand that manufacturers need to make a profit...

There is some veracity in the healing ability of some oils. One of these oils is Tea Tree Oil. This oil has an antibacterial effect.

Are you like millions of others that are struggling to figure out just what the best natural skincare product is? If I were you I would not expect to find that there is a high quality scientific system skincare product from the major cosmetics companies hiding out there somewhere, because the odds are that what you are wishing for doesn't exist. You will simply not find the best natural skincare among those that the major cosmetics companies are manufacturing. This is because despite all of the money that these companies bring in every year very little actually goes back into the products. They would rather use low cost chemical ingredients than present you with a product that contained any sort of...

The clerk of the tanning salon said no, and was still adamant about saying yes even when the FDA investigator identified who exactly he was and explained that it was already SOP or standard operating procedure to require goggles...

It is a well-known fact that the cosmetic industry is booming and will continue to boom. With the presence of so many different types of skin care products being introduced to the market almost daily, consumers are hard-pressed to choose products which they believe "are good for their skin". Nowadays, the hottest terminology in the cosmetics/skin care arena is "natural skin care". However, contrary to popular beliefs, many of these "natural skin care products" still contain many synthetic or man-made chemicals. In fact, synthesizing these chemicals is pretty easy and presenting consumers with a jar full of chemical concocts shouldn't be too hard too. Moreover, with less stringent FDA regulation for...

Since 1994, US law has permitted a number of over-the-counter herbal remedies to be labeled as "dietary supplements."

y"> Have you seen those "fat free" foods in supermarkets? Have you possibly delighted in them guiltlessly thinking that they are healthy for you? There's a good chance that you have because we usually follow what the media and the world around us says. In this day in age, along with other health fads, many people believe that fat makes you fat. This is true, to an extent. What we fail to notice is that not all fats are bad. If I had to guess, since the words fat (as in what's in food) and fat (as in excess body tissue, or adipose tissue) are the same word it makes sense that when you eat fat, you get fat. However, this is not the case. Now don't get me wrong, there is a difference between...

Do you ever listen to the advice that you find in the magazines or over the internet that rate the collagen and elastin enhancers? You had better be careful when taking their advice, because most times they are just using the guise of what is supposed to be an impartial comparison to sell you a product.

The majority of these comparisons are in some way corporate sponsored either by a cosmetics manufacturer, or one of the many distribution houses that are simply trying to increase their sales. You can easily tell whether or not the comparison is being done by the products manufacturer because they will always tell you that...

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is produced by the liver and is also found in food. It serves a number of purposes that are vital for the body, such as giving cell walls their rigidity and strength. However, when there is too much in the body it can lead to plaque buildup on artery walls, atherosclerosis, and heart disease among other things.

Many people wonder whether bottled water is healthier than tap water. Most people assume it is, perhaps after watching misleading commercials or viewing labels that depict pristine H2O flowing outdoors. The truth is bottled H2O isn't necessarily healthier than tap. In fact, about a quarter of bottled waters are really just tap H2O in disguise. According to the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC), sometimes this glorified municipal H2O receives additional treatment prior to bottling, but sometimes it does not. Often, proponents of bottled H2O cite the fact that the FDA regulates the industry, giving that as a reason to believe it is healthier. It's true that the FDA does provide regulation, but...

The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has issued a warning letter to Sun Pharmaceuticals as the company was found violating manufacturing norms in its Cranbury facility in New Jersey. Sun Pharma has stated that the FDA has withheld approval of pending new drug applications listing the facility as the manufacturer.

The company's Cranbury plant manufacturers a restricted number of products - primarily four or five controlled substance drugs (or drugs that fall under the narcotics category). A Sun Pharma spokesperson informed that the profit impact would only be in...
