This year, the predicted flurry of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity might not have materialised. However, as we near the end of the year, there were some big moves. M&A is an integral part of the lifecycle of pharma companies and a key strategy to future-proof larger players, driving R&D activities and innovation for a competitive product pipeline.

As far back as I can remember, I’ve wanted to help people with their health. I grew up watching my mom work as a medical doctor, and always admired her. In elementary school, I was introduced to the scientific method and thought: “This is it! This is what I’m going to do when I grow up!”. I enrolled in a four-year PharmD program (Doctor of Pharmacy) and became a pharmacist with the goal that one day, I would be able to discover new treatments for people who were suffering.

When Eric Xu fell sick and tested positive with Covid this month, he took pills of his own invention. Paxlovid, the primary oral antiviral available in the U.S., is in short supply in China. But Xu, a prominent biochemist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, had helped devise his own in 2021 and, as the drug’s inventor, could legally take it even as it went through clinical trials.

Upset stomachs are one of the most unpleasant symptoms one can experience. Humans will do almost anything to avoid the feeling of nausea, heartburn, or “sour stomach.” A pet with an upset tummy is also a sad sight to behold. As a pet owner, you want to avoid having your pet suffer at all, and also want to keep them from vomiting or having diarrhea—which can be dangerous if uncontrolled, not to mention messy and potentially harmful to your carpets. .

What will the future hold for clinical research? A recent draft from the FDA provides valuable insight. In "Optimizing the Dosage of Human Prescription Drugs and Biological Products for the Treatment of Oncologic Diseases," the FDA notes that "targeted therapies demonstrate different dose-response relationships compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy, such that doses below the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) may have similar efficacy to the MTD but with fewer toxicities.

It was not that long ago that the medical community had a small arsenal of new drugs to prevent and treat COVID-19 in people most susceptible to severe disease. But the arrival of new variants, as well as the loss of two treatments for immunocompromised people, has amped up the urgency to develop a stronger generation of medicines. Some biotech companies are looking to rebuild and expand the war chest, including British pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca and several smaller Massachusetts firms.

Dry air can not only lead to health issues like dry skin , scratchy throats, and nosebleeds but also cause damage to your home and result in high utility bills. A humidifier can add moisture in the air and help to maintain humidity levels in your home.
