And, with so many different types of over-the-counter and prescription medications cluttering our medicine cabinets, now is a good time to clear the clutter and stay safe.

Frost & Sullivan On Personalized Medicine

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:32:00 GMT

With the launch of several companion diagnostics over the past year, we have officially entered the personalized medicine era. These diagnostics and follow-on therapeutics utilize molecular analysis technologies to diagnose and manage a patient's disease or predisposition towards a disease. The ultimate goal is to prescribe a therapeutic plan tailored to an individual's genetics and environmental profile. While revenues from companion diagnostics are just starting to trickle in, the push towards personalized medicine is driving several markets along the pipeline of drug discovery. From "bench to bedside," this healthcare trend continues to spur basic research technologies, biomarker discovery, pharmacogenomics services, and of course, companion diagnostics and therapeutics.

PROSTHESIS COULD SPARE SOME HORSES FROM DEATH

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 23:07:04 GMT

It?s a practice so common in the horse world that it?s become a given: if a horse breaks or develops an infection in his leg, there?s nothing to be done other than put him down. That conventional wisdom, however, is being challenged by Riley, a female buckskin quarter horse living at Horse Haven at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Riley came to Best Friends with an awful hind leg injury; to treat her, specialists had to re-align her ankle joint and fuse her bones together with metal plates and screws. Eventually her body rejected the plates and she developed a severe infection. She needed a new solution and Best Friends? was lucky enough to find a veterinarian with the answer: Dr. Ted Vlahos. In May, 2008, Dr. Ted transported Riley to his clinic in Sheridan, Wyoming, where he amputated Riley?s leg just below her knee and fitted her with a temporary prosthesis. Now, Riley has returned home to Best Friends, once again able to trot and wander the pasture. Each year, thousands of horses are euthanized for reasons very similar to those that necessitated the amputation of Riley?s leg. Nowhere has that fact been more apparent than at the racetrack, where Eight Belles, Barbaro and countless other thoroughbreds have been put down after breaking a leg. Riley now shows that horses? lives don?t have to end that way, thanks to this advance in equine medicine. This procedure isn?t for every horse with a broken or severely infected leg, but many horses can be saved from a death sentence if people simply knew that the prosthesis is an option. Dr. Vlahos and two other veterinarians, Dr. Barrie Grant of California and Dr. Rick Redden of Kentucky, pioneered the procedure. For more information, please visit: www.bestfriends.org.
