Persuasive speech
The speaker argues that the FDA should regulate dietary supplements to better protect public health. Currently, supplements have poor regulation as the FDA does not thoroughly test supplements due to limited funding and does not want to spend money removing unsafe supplements from the market. This puts consumer health at risk. To solve this, the speaker proposes creating an independent regulatory agency solely focused on ensuring supplement safety through proper testing and regulation, regardless of cost. This would prevent potentially health-threatening supplements from being distributed to the public without adequate oversight.
Combat Stress Conference 2003
This document outlines a research design for a stress prevention program in the California Army National Guard. It describes developing a soldier-oriented stress scale to screen for combat stress and prevent issues like PTSD. The scale measures pre-deployment and post-deployment stress in areas like family, military training, and finances. Soldiers scoring high are referred for further assessment. Those found to have true pathology are referred for psychiatric evaluation to determine if they can be mobilized or need medical evaluation. The goal is to identify stress issues early and provide support, helping soldiers cope with mobilization stresses and ensuring medical and deployment readiness.

This document outlines 7 ways to ensure a healthcare organization is not compliant with OIG exclusion list monitoring requirements. It notes that relying solely on the LEIE is insufficient as it is missing many exclusion records. It also emphasizes the need to monitor vendors, contractors and physicians in addition to employees. Checking exclusion lists only on the federal level and not also on state lists is non-compliant. The document recommends checking exclusion lists at minimum on a monthly basis, using a system to archive monitoring results, checking for exclusions before hiring anyone, and using an automated instead of manual system to reduce errors and time spent. It promotes the services of ProviderTrust to help organizations effectively meet OIG compliance standards.

Emerging Strategies in Drug Innovation
This paper aims to study various strategies adopted by pharmaceutical companies to boost innovation. These strategies are usually overlapping and must not be viewed as watertight initiatives.
The penetration of the aforesaid strategies may differ with each pharma. However, on a superficial level it is safe to say that pharmas will largely look outside its own company for drug innovation and early development requirements. This trend will also be enhanced by the fact that most of the late stage drug candidates have already been licensed, and hence the focus will shift to an early stage. The success of these strategies will depend on how many potential drugs will be approved after clinical trials for commercialization.

Report on Business: Pfizer Inc.
Executive Summary
Pfizer has a long history in the biopharmaceutical industry, and a lengthy list of mergers and acquisitions. It has vast experience in creating lasting partnerships in the research and development, manufacturing, distributing, and marketing of its products. Pfizer seeks to improve the health of people everywhere through education and by making medications more accessible, which translates into better health beyond just the people it would employ here. Although there are risks such as potential job loss and environmental factors, the benefits outweigh these risks, and therefore it is recommended to allow Pfizer to set up operations in this country.
Company Description
Pfizer Inc. began operations in 1849 and has become the largest company specializing in biopharmaceuticals.It has operations in over 150 countries, with its headquarters located in New York, New York, USA. Pfizer employs more than 91,500 people and earned nearly $59 billion in 2012 revenues (Mergent, 2013). Operating in the pharmaceutical industry, it carries out the research, development,production,and marketing of goodssuch as over-the-counter and prescription medicines, vaccines, and consumer healthcare products. Advil, Lyrica, Lipitor, Celebrex, Viagra, and Prevnar are just a few of the blockbuster name brands made at Pfizer (Pfizer Inc., 2013).It recently divided its operations into three units, Primary Care, Specialty Care & Oncology, and Emerging Markets & Established Products, dropping the Animal Health and the Nutrition units through sales to Zoetis and Nestlé respectively (Staton, 2013). The Emerging Markets unitenables Pfizer’s vaccines and other medicines to reach developing countries, while Established Products handle the drugsthat have or will soon lose patent protection, as well as medicines acquired through licensing(Pfizer, 2013). Although revenues have been decreasing asa direct result of patents expiring, net profit is again increasing(Mergent, 2013) and appears to be stable in 2013 (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 2013). Recent Income Statements and Revenues for the top-ten biopharmaceutical products can be viewed in Appendix A. Pfizer recently merged with the only remaining division of Wyeth, in India (Reuters, 2013); the original merger occurred in 2009 and led to the 2010 announcement that eight plants would be shut down in an effort to remain competitive and to prevent price increases (TopNews, 2010).
Company’s International Strategy
Pfizer grew the business internationally through mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships, which led to it being the world’s leading biopharmaceutical company. It has 100% ownership of all its numerous subsidiaries andmaintains operations in countries where it has acquired established companies that can continue to contribute to the growth of the business(Mergent, 2013). Its international strategy is closest to a transnational strategy due to the high costs of rese ...

The process usually begins with extensive medical research about a particular disease, which provides researchers with a better understanding of the disease and how it affects the body. The next step of the drug discovery process typically involves target identification and target validation.
Drug Discovery - What Happens after FDA Approval?
Current drug discovery models require new compounds to pass early safety tests and clinical trials before Phase 3 trials demonstrate their safety and efficacy to large patient groups, earning FDA approval. Once approved, pharmaceutical companies can begin large-scale manufacturing in new facilities that must meet FDA manufacturing standards. Additional Phase 4 trials after approval further monitor long-term or subset effects, with any adverse reactions requiring reports to the FDA.
Prostate Cancer Treatment - Active Surveillance
Prostate cancer is commonly diagnosed in men over 50. If detected early, physicians may recommend active surveillance which involves close monitoring of cancer progression through regular PSA blood tests, ultrasounds, and rectal exams. This allows patients to delay more aggressive treatments like surgery and radiation therapy unless the cancer becomes more advanced or aggressive over time.
Chemotherapy and Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men over 50 and is highly treatable if diagnosed early, with active surveillance often sufficient to control early-stage disease. For more advanced prostate cancer, chemotherapy may help by using drugs that travel through the bloodstream to fight cancer in other organs. Doctors may prescribe chemotherapy like docetaxel and prednisone if prostate cancer spreads outside the prostate gland and stops responding to hormone therapy, replacing docetaxel if the initial treatment fails.
Temple director earns recognition for cancer work
Dr. E. Premkumar Reddy, director of experimental cancer therapeutics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, was honored by Temple University School of Medicine for his 18 years heading their Fels Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Biology.

Lindsay rosenwald a primer on influenza
Influenza, or the flu, is a virus that affects millions each year, resulting in lost productivity and hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations. It is characterized by a sudden fever, body aches, cough or sore throat. Young children, seniors, pregnant women and those with weak immune systems are most vulnerable. While it lasts longer than a cold, it does not cause diarrhea or vomiting like colds. Dr. Lindsay Rosenwald was an early successful physician-investor on Wall Street and has supported biotech companies developing flu treatments.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Hemodialysis: Chapter 4, Dialysate Circuit - Dr.Gawad
