So far the delivery system has been tested in animals and a patent is being applied for. An inhaled approach with chemotherapy 
can help avoid the toxic exposure to other parts of the body and we all know how that goes with treatment. It can also go directly to the target without an IV infusion. More work is still needed before the process can go into clinical trials on humans. The percentage of the drug delivered also rose to 83% from 23% with an IV injection. BD
In more conventional chemotherapy for lung cancer, the drugs tend to accumulate in the liver, kidney and spleen, with much less of the drugs ever making it to the lungs. In this study, the amount of the drug delivered to the lungs rose to 83 percent with the inhalation approach, versus 23 percent with injection.
This work was supported by the National Cancer Institute, National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense.
"A drug delivery system that can be inhaled is a much more efficient approach, targeting just the cancer cells as much as possible," he said. "Other chemotherapeutic approaches only tend to suppress tumors, but this system appears to eliminate it."
A patent is being applied for on the technology, and more testing will be necessary before it is ready for human clinical trials, the researchers said.

patients who say they were injured when all-metal implants sold by the company failed. It faces over 10,000 cases related to the A.S.R. and 3,300 cases related to the all-metal Pinnacle, according to a company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
Thus far the union has refused to accept a new pension plan. The workers are also claiming patient safety as a reason as well. We all know hospitals all over are doing more with less and it seems there’s no exception here. BD 
In addition you hear about the bigger exposure to errors and noise as you look at more and more data, that is a full truism. Everyone wants to apply big data to Black Swan events and see if there’s a way to predict next time and sometimes there might be data indicators that would help and other times, you have nothing. Those not in data get easier slided here as they don’t know data mechanics and how all of his works. We see it all the time. We do develop too much confidence in our data in more ways than one..example below on my opinion post. 
Rosetta Genomics Ltd. (NASDAQ: ROSG), a leading developer and provider of microRNA-based molecular diagnostics, announces that the Company has executed a credentialing agreement with Prime Health Services, Inc. (Prime Health), a managed care company that offers a full spectrum of services, including a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), for the inclusion of Rosetta Genomics' miRview® mets2 test in Prime Health's covered products and services. 
the press release from MMRGlobal, the company has violated patents for personal health records. The entire press release at the link at the bottom of this post gives more details. This is not the first and you can search this blog for additional posts about their complaints against Walgreens, WebMD, etc. and way back in a post I included the 
that when all the web apps with their data gathering algorithms began. so the sales rep who provided the material for this article seems to pretty much validate most everything that I have said on this blog for the last few years. Again, without identifying the data sellers and requiring a license and the ability to tax the billions in profit they make to begin moving some money back to the consumer side, the more information they get, the more they are in a position to use it against you. This is indeed sad that this is the way it is playing out and no wonder consumers are non trusting. The data mechanics to do this are only getting better and corporations and banks are just getting richer doing so. Watch the videos in the footer of this blog and you can also visit the 
have as much expense as she does but we are in the same boat with Mom. 
how this doesn’t work in the real world as patients and payers don’t have the money, as we have already algorithmically risked down to the penny so where’s the next math model going to go search? What’s left? Again what looks good in the software world doesn’t play out the same in the real world, especially in healthcare, the people business. In short, the models lied as they were constructed to generate profits and at some point in time when the array of data used runs out of cash, you can’t model it any more as it bottoms out. I think this is what we are now seeing. 
and the translation for some of it is something like this: Unintended consequences are the results with code that runs, collides and moves money as each profit center executes what they need with little regard or notice to how it reacts with other data. 
Again the formulas and math can and do clash with the real world so maybe time to give this a little more thought in business? It sounds good to me but I’m only one person and it takes maturity and a sense of realism instead of the rush for profit to make it work. You can’t take conflicting models and push them together and think you will have success as it’s a battle of the profit algorithms right now. Hospitals are tangibles and provide “human” services and there’s no way they can compete with the sometimes fantasy projections of other entities. As I said a while back 
mathematical models. I have not seen or heard much about what model he was programming for or exactly what area of their IT infrastructure he was in. There’s a good video that explains this with actual quants who model discuss how this works and another player who is programmer that want to be a quant. If you don’t understand this process it’s a great video and the only one I have found to where the layman can understand some of how the big banks and companies use math formulas to move money, as that’s what they do. The 
State Supreme Court Justice Ronald Zweibel said the former programmer, Sergey Aleynikov, did not show that the charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr amounted to double jeopardy, or were part of a "vindictive prosecution" justifying dismissal.
happen with Unis-Tonghe licensing the technology using HL7 standards. The EMR system will populate the PHR system to include doctor’s notes, which we don’t always get all the records here in the US in our PHR. That’s a discussion for another day and has been on this blog before too. The company is also releasing their first HL7 connection with EHR company 4Medica in the US.
FDA but then a judge over ruled her. It was political and just a weird thing the way she played it out publicly I thought as the FDA works for HHS and that was in poor taste but the judge said it better than anyone else when he reversed that decision. 
he’s duped too and thinks that building a big data base might make him look like he’s doing something which he is, but go to talk to the people that build the models and they can tell him exactly how this works and how consumers interact with the software, duh? The algorithms are set to execute and with choices made they put out the data, what’s so difficult about this? Again the folks that build it know and it’s not going to vary much as algorithms do as they are programmed, it’s not a human. 
data will be up for sale and who knows how far it will go and where it will appear and what analytics will be used to judge you as there’s nobody asking about the value of the complex analytics and big corporate profits are made this way. Great video at the link below that also explains from a former Quant on Wall Street who worked with

This was a bidding situation where Bayer won the bid and is paying a pretty good price for the company and Bayer has it’s own contraception products, Yaz for one so it would seem this company would be in the same product group.

percent in the first quarter. The planned acquisition comes at a time when sales of Leverkusen, Germany-based Bayer’s Yaz and Yasmin oral birth-control pills are falling because of competition from low-priced copies. Bayer also sells the Natazia pill and intrauterine devices such as Mirena.
