Dawn of a new era
The political, social and economic environment of the pharmaceutical industry is constantly changing, forcing it to prepare for a future that will embrace a more holistic vision of healthcare. A future outlook developed by Novo Nordisk, a pharmaceutical company specialising in diabetes care, for the year 2020 and beyond showed that knowledge management and networking will be the prime drivers o...
متن کاملSystemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer
Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...
متن کاملThe dawn of a new era.
This paper reviews the scientific events culminating in the fluoridation of communal water supplies. Dental and medical studies completed by 1942 had established the safety and benefits of exposure to drinking water naturally containing fluoride. Researchers and public health workers concluded that it was possible to test the hypothesis that the dental benefits attained where fluoride levels ar...

متن کاملMulti-functional polymeric nanoparticles for tumour-targeted drug delivery.
The use of nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles for anticancer therapeutics has great potential to revolutionise the future of cancer therapy. As tumour architecture causes nanoparticles to preferentially accumulate at the tumour site, their use as drug delivery vectors results in the localisation of a greater amount of the drug load at the tumour site; thus improving cancer therapy and redu...
