PERSPECTIVES ON TECHNOLOGY TRENDS IN BIOPHARMACEUTICALS MANUFACTURE by Mr KV K.V. Subramaniam
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the last 40 years, starting from being nowhere, Biopharmaceutical drugs have come to occupy a dominant presence in the list of top ten selling drugs globally. Today, worldwide biopharmaceutical revenues are estimated at USD 288 billion, or 23 % of global pharmaceutical industry revenues, and comprise seven of the top ten list of drugs (Table 1). Many of these drugs, particularly monoclonal antibodies, offer cures for difficult-to-treat diseases, mainly in cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.

متن کاملDetermination of hemolysis, osmotic fragility and fluorescence anisotropy on irradiated red blood cells as a function of kV of medical diagnostic X-rays
Background: People occasionally undergo medical diagnostic X-ray examinations and expose their red blood cells to radiation. Radiation that is generated from medical diagnostic X-ray machines is widely used in medical diagnoses. One of the important parameters is kilo-voltage (kV) that is applied across the X-ray tube in medical diagnostic X-ray machines. Kilo-voltage influences the radiation d...
