This is an interesting video made by an individual that conducts clinical trials in talking with one of their participants who is talking about a friend who is involved in the trial, and he gets paid! I think there might be a run on this trial! Anyway, this is an interesting video to say...

This is something that is needed like now. I also posted about a movie that is coming out that discusses DDT and the desire to bring the chemical back and discussed the potential dangers and non dangers associated along with the decision to stop DDT back in the Nixon administration. 3 BILLION AND...

For all of those who have undergone the injections, it appears to be getting closer to a time when the medication would be applied as a cream by a physician. Revance Therapeutics has posted some results of phase 2 of the trials. Compared to an injection, if the process is good enough who...

This is an interesting trial as it involved 4 competitors in the stent market. 20,000 individuals are slated to participate and Boston Scientific has signed on their first patient. The trials involve comparing the use of drugs after the placement of the stents and the use of aspirin to monitor...

I’m sure this won’t be the last device process that is questioned, but the good news today is technology with devices, as now you will begin seeing more implanted devices reporting data, how it’s working, problem areas, etc. This may be in the area more so of clinical trials, but who knows how...

Not all biotech companies make it and it is not always just the failure of a product or trial, many are running short of money, unless they happen to be purchased or financed by one of the big drug or other medical companies. It does make you wonder if we are on the losing end here sometimes with...

I have been somewhat following this company since they started out, and at that point were questioning if there was in fact a market for this type of product, and I think we have the answer now, of course there is. I also have their widget on my blog for a quick and easy look up for clinical trials...

I think we can all somewhat figure this out, but there are cases to where open heart surgery may the answer. A short while back with my interview with Dr. Muhs, who is the principal investigator on all of the endovascular trials conducted in the Section of Vascular Surgery at Yale University...

This is very simple and easy to use and if you have read this blog long enough you have seen other posts about Trialx. I did a few checks myself and it came back very quickly via Twitter. Obviously this is a quick check just to see what is available and gets the job done nicely. ...

A higher death rate can certainly end the research. The drug, elesclomol was targeted to pretty much make cancer cells self destruct. It did slow down the tumor growth, but the death rate, and reasons there of, are still unknown, thus the study was stopped. GlaxoSmithKline had already...

One more minimally invasive surgery technique. There is not a version of this procedure for men yet. This has to help in cutting down the infection rates I would guess as well. It is not out for prime time surgery yet, but the technology is here. BD NEW HAVEN — Breaking...
