...lead developer of the drug bortezomib—described the drug’s scientific discovery and clinical development. Dr. Richardson then interviewed a patient who was being successfully treated with bortezomib-based therapy, providing a very human perspective to the presentation. The discussion of the patient??s experience with both the disease and treatment was inspirational and relevant to our course material...
...bound to be fraught with resistance and skepticism from doctors and patients alike. Though they draw upon the varied fields of neurobiology, endocrinology, psychology, sociology, and physiology, SANOSON hopes to synthesize these diverse disciplines into a single, clinically-proven treatment. The key, researchers believe, lies in synchronizing a patient??s regulatory processes to the prescribed music. SANOSON is one of the first companies to demonstrate the effectiveness of such synchronization in a clinical setting. As noted in a recent New York Times article, when these processes and structures were properly paralleled in patients with hypertension over a four...
...specific gene association with heart attacks. The information from O’Donnell’s previous research, as well as data from six other labs, was compiled into a set of 3,000 heart attack patients and 3,000 controls. Researchers performed a million tests on each patient??s DNA for a total of 6 billion tests, said O’Donnell. The study used a gene chip developed by Altshuler’s team that can screen simultaneously for single problematic genetic locations and deletions of large chunks of DNA. When the data was processed through...
...with a cancer vaccine is to wake up the immune system and let it know there’s a tumor in the body and it should try to destroy it,” Huebsch said. Current therapies involve reprogramming immune cells in a petri dish to recognize the patient??s particular tumor, said Omar A. Ali, one of the authors. But these cells have a low survival rate, requiring physicians to use large numbers of them to effectively treat tumors, said the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences associate. “These therapies have worked pretty...
Epstein added that the findings show that healthcare providers should be more attentive to patient??s needs. Alleviating pain or maintaining a quiet hospital environment, for example, are important issues doctors and nurses sometimes do not take into consideration, he said...
