Supporters of direct-to-consumer advertising argue that advertisements increase competition which leads to lower prescription drug prices and new development, citing, for instance, that between 1997 and 2001, spending on research and development in the U.S. increased 59% while spending on promoting drugs directly to patients increased 145%.
The inability of NA inhibitors to bind to the virus allowed this strain of virus with the resistance mutation to spread due to natural selection. Furthermore, a study published in 2009 in Nature Biotechnology emphasized the urgent need for augmentation of oseltamivir stockpiles with additional antiviral drugs including zanamivir. This finding ...
It’s a common virus that causes illness in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of infectious disease at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, tells ...
Vaccines are another method of virotherapy that use attenuated or inactivated viruses to develop immunity to disease. An attenuated virus is a weakened virus that incites a natural immune response in the host that is often undetectable. The host also develops potentially life-long immunity due to the attenuated virus's similarity to the actual ...
“The approach to this virus,” he said of mpox, “is very different.” That’s because experts know a lot more about mpox than they did about Covid in early 2020, when the coronavirus was ...
While it was once “just” a medication for people with type 2 diabetes, metformin is now thought of as a “wonder drug with multiple potentials,” says David Cutler, M.D., a family medicine ...
Cells were pre-treated with the different doses of remdesivir for 1 hour, and the virus (MOI of 0.05) was subsequently added to allow infection for 2 hours. [47] The results found that remdesivir functioned well as an inhibitor of the infection. [47] The study was published as a letter to the editor, and as such did not undergo peer review.
