That is why the government needs to step in and offer a grant for these companies to dig deeper into their studies and come up with something that has less side effects. “One CNN source estimates the cost of the REGN727 clinical trials to be in the billions of dollars (Curley, Ann, CNN, 2012). This means that the price of the drug is going to be dangerously high. If the government can step in now and offer some money to reduce the cost on the company the drug will be less expensive and everyone who needs it will be able to afford
This cost Pfizer $2.3 billion dollars. If Pfizer hadn’t off-labeled their drugs, a chance of making more of money would not have been presented (Torrey). Another way that the companies profit is by not taking the drug back into the lab to find out new uses for it since they have off-labeling to fall back on. Going back in the laboratory and doing further research costs a great deal of money that doesn’t need to be spent when you can say that the drug can be “used for a different treatment.” The practice of this is not right, playing guessing games with others lives so that you can reap the benefits of their recovery or their
What are some of the strengths associated with the Pro side of the issue? What are some of the weaknesses? Strength of the NIMH is the use of statistical information concerning biological and genetic causes of ADHD. The NIMH cites studies that show neurological abnormalities to support the viewpoint that environmental factors do not play a role the development of the disorder. One weakness I see is the use of medications is seen as a long term basis for controlling the symptoms of hyperactive and impulsivity behaviors of ADHD.
Read the YOU DECIDE scenario and using the simulation information, prepare a report. Please ensure use of APA format (see Doc Sharing ).

Unfortunately in this case the customer Data Equipment Systems is unable to receive shipment until January 11, 2011 due to a lack of available warehouse space (Mintz & Morris, 2011). Reed needs to have that revenue recorded on the 2010 end-of-year financial report. Potential legal and ethical issues Reed is considering booking the $1.2 million sale in the December 2010 books and on December 30 approaches controller Marty Fuller to discuss the dilemma. Fuller explains the accounting rules about sales held for future delivery, although Reed understands the rules he
Why you ask? Technology changes every day. There’s always something new out there that will determine whether or not this product is purchased or consumers decide to go with a competitor’s product instead. This I know will have a major impact of this type of product but regulatory trends I’m not sure of. The U-phone can help with politicians and legal people doing business from the comfort of their homes but I don’t know if this will last.
For treating Parkinson's disease with adult stem cells have to replace the cells that have died with other identical dopaminergic neurons (Euro Stem Cell). Even though scientists have not yet did any clinical trail because they need to understand the genetic make for the disease more to go further. Same with other diseases scientists think they can cure or treat them but they need to do more research on the disease to make sure nothing can go wrong. In near future cure for adult stem cells is more possible then the cure from ES cells. Because adult stem cells do not have that much restriction and government is not against it.
Mark Mazue a Treasury official, said the administration wanted the extra time (Financial Times). Mark Mazue also summed it up by saying this would give companies more time to adapt their health coverage and with reporting.

Public Agenda posted a statistical graph that shows 68 percent of the public agrees with the testing. 27 percent is against it and five percent are not sure how they feel. As a citizen who is on welfare I would gladly do a drug test if it meant that I wouldn’t have food or clothes for my child. This program gives a person the chance to get their life back on track and a new start. It is a win/win all the way around because, It will lower the amount of people on welfare and increase the amount of people that can be personally responsible for themselves by holding a job and being drug
To what degree would you characterize Given's development of the camera pill as "science-push" versus "demand-pull"? Iterative combination of both science-push & Demand-pull Demand-pull when Dr. Scapa asked Iddan about the possibility of viewing the small intestine better , there was a demand for product However, due to insufficient Science-push (lack scientific discovery) there was no progress made Ten years later technology advanced to provide solutions to overcome existing painful procedures Unavailability of more convenient wireless endoscopy solution led to development of camera pill Demand-pull 3. What were the advantages and disadvantages of Iddan and Meron collaborating with Dr. Swain's team? Advantages o Complementary expertise of both teams, one in biological aspect & other in physical engineering o Skills, allowed to develop faster by overcoming challengers collectively\ o Collaboration – ensured device was compatible with the application being designed for. o Easing the approval process from FDA o Dr Scapa’s surgical expertise facilitated human trials Disadvantages o Dismissal of Dr. Swain’s team’s work on camera from ‘spy shops’
