Address in Therapeutics

New leads in cancer therapeutics: a keynote address.

The main problems in cancer chemotherapy are related to the fact that the available drugs are not specific nor selective enough in their anticancer action. Therefore, even a low degree of resistance at the target tumor level is sufficient to impart clinical resistance because the dose of drug cannot be increased sufficiently to overcome it without incurring unacceptable toxicity. In the face of...

Functionalized CNTs for delivery of therapeutics

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are high aspect ratio allotropes of carbon. Because of their unique physical and chemical characteristics, they are nominated for a vast variety of applications in the biomedical field. Their very low solubility is the only problem of them which is solved by different methods of Functionalization. After discoveries in the last few years of the capacity of CNTs to penetra...

Obstetric Therapeutics; Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics in Obstetric Practice

Statistical experimentation in therapeutics.

The issue I propose to examine is whether, or in what circumstances, the statistical approach to the assessment of curative measures is legitimate. This issue is straightforward, since, unless the mere enumeration of cases is regarded as a statistical procedure, the distinction between the statistical and the non-statistical approach to a problem is absolute; an investigator must inevitably be ...
