This book was released on 2017-07-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepatitis B and C cause most cases of hepatitis in the United States and the world. The two diseases account for about a million deaths a year and 78 percent of world's hepatocellular carcinoma and more than half of all fatal cirrhosis. In 2013 viral hepatitis, of which hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the most common types, surpassed HIV and AIDS to become the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. The world now has the tools to prevent hepatitis B and cure hepatitis C. Perfect vaccination could eradicate HBV, but it would take two generations at least. In the meantime, there is no cure for the millions of people already infected. Conversely, there is no vaccine for HCV, but new direct-acting antivirals can cure 95 percent of chronic infections, though these drugs are unlikely to reach all chronically-infected people anytime soon. This report, the second of two, builds off the conclusions of the first report and outlines a strategy for hepatitis reduction over time and specific actions to achieve them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walk into any hospital room and you are likely to find infusion pumps bearing the IMED or IVAC names. Stories of these companies convey themes typical of venture finance technological innovation driving higher valuations leading to a spectacular sale. (use italics in yellow/gold)These five broadly different case studies of major healthcare device companies and a biotechnology start-up to public company provide the reader with a rich cross section of business issues and answers. This book should be of interest to anyone in the health care industry, as well as to the general business reader. The cases provide a venture capitalist's and manager's view of how to start and build a company.The author was lead VC in each of these five companies. There is a detailed description of the issues and problems which occur in developing young companies to create significant value. The way problems and successes were dealt with gives the reader a broad learning experience ranging from the damage of patent infringement to being first in a market with runaway initial acceptance and learning how to keep the lead.Each of these cases comes from Henry Venture Fund investments. The reader learns how the investment opportunity was analyzed, how the investment was priced, how it was managed and directed into its product development and principal markets, and whether success or failure occurred and why. Two of the companies were sold for $400 million each, one was sold for $80 million in 22 months from founding, one declined in value by 90%, or $100 million, and was acquired and taken private and the the biotech company went public.Also included are two new biotech company descriptions which have made significant scientific discoveries. Sinapis Pharma has commenced a human clinical trial for brain trauma and stroke indications. TauTaTis is a preclinical company in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease with very promising scientific data in mouse studies

This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chimpanzees in biomedical and behavioral research constitute a national resource that has been valuable in addressing national health needs. Facilities that house chimpanzees owned and supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have successfully met the research requirements of the scientific community. The captive chimpanzee population in the United States has grown substantially, particularly over the last decade. That growth is due primarily to the success of the NIH-sponsored Chimpanzee Breeding and Research Program, which achieved the birth numbers thought necessary to meet the projected needs of biomedical research. However, the expected level of use of the chimpanzee model in biomedical research did not materialize, and that has created a complex problem that threatens both the availability of chimpanzees for research in the future and the infrastructure required to ensure the well-being of captive chimpanzees used in biomedical research. Because the present system is fragmented, it is impossible to formulate an accurate overview of the size and nature of the chimpanzee population. But, if the chimpanzee is to continue to be used in biomedical research responsibly, effectively, and cost-effectively, we must be able to oversee, track, and coordinate the maintenance and use of chimpanzees and to control the size of the population. To assess the long-range situation and to develop, implement, and monitor the application of policies for the proper use and care of chimpanzees, an authoritative, centralized oversight structure is imperative. Once it is in place, it will be possible to refine and implement this report's recommendations.
