The Smallest Viable Genome Is Very Weird [In the Pipeline]
|
|
|
|
|

Clearly,
synthetic genomics is just beginning to take off. This sort of work is
going to make us rethink a lot of what we believe that we know about
living cells, and will surely set off arguments in several directions at
once. It’s going to be fun.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Officials
from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) say that studies
comparing the effects of drugs in juvenile animal populations against
their effects in adult animals are generally not useful in guiding
pediatric clinical development, especially if such studies delay the
launch of a clinical trial.

Their
proposal calls for the loans to be financed by a pool of investors who
would buy bonds and equities issued by an organization that makes the
loans to consumers. While it may be "distasteful" to talk about patients
mortgaging their lives for treatment, Lo said, they hope the proposal
will spur change.

Value Pricing For Drugs: Whose Value, What Price? [Health Affairs]

We
need a public conversation about the economic value placed on a year of
life, which is underlying all of these analyses. This simply has not
been done in the US. Using imported numbers from the World Health
Organization or from England may not represent American social values.

Researchers
focused on 20 expensive medicines that are given by injection or
intravenous drip and require doses adjusted based on the patient’s body
size. Often, the packages contain much more medicine than patients need,
and the leftovers wind up in the trash.

- Obviously the cost of care in the United States is a critical issue; - The other obvious big thing, that we will be committed to for a long time, is the use of Big Data; - Finally, I think that there’s an opportunity to look at how we do adult education, which is such a critical role for ASCO.

Patients with terminal cancer live longer when cared for at home [STAT]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Researchers
studied the final days of over 2,000 terminal cancer patients in Japan.
In terms of longevity, they found that patients who received palliative
care at home didn’t fare any worse than those who received it in the
hospital. In fact, those who were sickest — with either days or weeks to
live — actually lived longer if they chose to die at home.
