Most pharmaceutical companies spend huge money on research and development, with new drugs requiring years of testing before U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. Thus the hefty fees for their medications and vaccines once they are on the market. That might explain why many people gasped when Merck, based in Whitehouse Station, N.J., announced this month that it would slash prices for vaccines against cervical Cancer to under $5 a dose in Africa -- when it costs 25 times that in the United… ...

Family Of Six, Two With Brain Cancer, Evicted For ‘Untidy’ Apartment

A family of six seemed to have their fair share of worry when both a daughter and her dad were diagnosed with brain Cancer — an aggressive form in the case of the child — but it got worse when their property management company decided the Lilly family’s house was not tidy enough and evicted them. In Oregon, mom Melissa Weiser-Lilly has been coping with daughter Alyssa’s Cancer battle for more than four years. And after remission, the girl and her family learned the Cancer had returned in a far more aggressive form. If that wasn’t enough with which to contend, the Lillys also discovered Alyssa’s dad Jeremy had brain Cancer. In a video made about the family’s struggles, they discuss the concurrent diagnoses and illnesses, as well as Alyssa’s (nicknamed “Aly”) tumors, one of which she calls “ peanut .” Melissa says , breaking down in tears: “They said that a reoccurring ‘peanut’ is most likely fatal … And the best thing they could do – the best thing they could do is hit her with chemo and hope for the best.” Jeremy adds of his Cancer struggle: “It’s about the size of a quarter on the left hemisphere of my brain – really close to the speech center. So in the next couple months we decided to go in and do surgery.” Much of the community was sensitive to the Lilly family’s plight — but not Portland’s C&R Real Estate Services, the management company that claims their home is “too messy” and says the family damaged the premises.

Johnson & Johnson is a very respected brand in the consumer medical devices and pharmaceutical goods industries. Well known for its highly recognizable personal care products, including Band-Aids, Neutrogena and Tylenol, Johnson & Johnson is also a major player in other healthcare fields. Many patent applications published by the USPTO pertain to Johnson & Johnson’s extensive lineup of medical cosmetic products. One application would protect a dermabrasion kit with a detachable head for sensitive skin, and another was filed to protect a system of manufacturing bacteria-resistant contact lenses. Two other recent patent applications that we feature here are for punctal plugs and eye misting devices that can deliver medication directly to the body through the incredibly permeable membranes within the eye. Related posts: Apple Protects Fiber Optic Cable Connection that Self-Cleans Electronic device developer and manufacturer Apple Inc. has recorded another big week with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.

Implications of Genome-Wide Association Studies in Cancer Therapeutics

Thu, 23 May 2013 11:16:43 GMT

Source: onlinelibrary.wiley.com --- Thursday, May 23, 2013
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) provide an agnostic approach to identifying potential genetic variants associated with disease susceptibility, prognosis of survival, and/or predictive of drug response. Although these techniques are costly and interpretation of study results is challenging, they do allow for a more unbiased interrogation of the entire genome, resulting in the discovery of novel genes and understanding of novel biological associations. This review will focus on the implications of GWAS in Cancer therapy, in particular germ-line mutations, including findings from major GWAS which have identified predictive genetic loci for clinical outcome and/or toxicity. Lessons and challenges in Cancer GWAS are also discussed, including the need for functional analysis and replication, as well as future perspectives for biological and clinical utility. Given the large heterogeneity in response to Cancer therapeutics, novel methods of identifying mechanisms and biology of variable drug response and ultimately treatment individualization will be indispensable. ...
