Biosimilars, also known as biologic products, are currently the fastest growing category of medical products in the United States, with sales estimated at more than $40 billion dollars annually. When prescribed by doctors, these products may provide more effective treatment options for patients suffering from a chronic disease or condition. In late August, the FDA held a forum on biosimilars. The topic was "biosimilar medications - what are they, how do they work, and are they safe and effective." Representatives from the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, and biotechnology organizations attended the forum. The forum included individuals who are leading the charge to register biosimilar products for clinical trials. According to the FDA, the agency will begin accepting applications for biologic drugs in late fall of 2020. In Japan, various manufacturers are focused on developing pipelines that contain biosimilar candidates aimed at treating various therapeutic conditions for patients in Japan. For instance, in December 2020, Alvotech and Japanese pharmaceutical company Fuji Pharma agreed on an extension on their exclusive strategic partnership for the commercialization of four biosimilar medicines in Japan.

Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder of bone development that prevents bone changes in cartilage (especially in the long bones of the hands and feet). It is characterized by the limited range of motion at the elbows, dwarfism, small fingers, large head size, and normal intelligence. Achondroplasia is caused by a change in the FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) gene and occurs as a result of a spontaneous genetic mutation in around 80% of patients, with the remaining 20% inherited from parents. Individuals with achondroplasia have short stature. The average height in men is 4 feet 4 inches and in women is 4 feet 1 inch. Achondroplasia treatment may include medications with growth hormone and surgery to correct an abnormal curvature of the spine (or bone problems), as to reduce the pressure inside the brain in cases of hydrocephaly. Achondroplasia is known to affect 1 in 15,000 to 40,000 newborns. The average adult height of those affected ranges from 4 feet to 4.4 feet. In the United States, around 10,000 individuals are living with achondroplasia, of equal frequency in men and women and across all racial and ethnic groups, making it the most common skeletal dysplasia.

Over-the-counter drugs (also known as non-prescription drugs) are drugs that one can buy without a prescription. These drugs are widely used to treat conditions that do not require direct consultation. Moreover, over-the-counter drugs are effective and safe when a consumer follows the instructions on the label or is provided by a doctor. The Food and Drug Administration in the United States considers when a specific drug is safe and effective enough to be sold over-the-counter. Over-the-counter drugs are widely used to treat symptoms of cold and flu worldwide. Several pharmaceutical manufacturers are focused on converting Rx (prescription drugs) to OTC (over-the-counter drugs) to meet the increasing demand. In the first half of 2019, Tachipirina was the best-selling non-prescription medication (over-the-counter drug) in Italian pharmacies. Rx to OTC switch is the transfer of proven prescription drugs to nonprescription. In February 2020, the FDA converted three prescription drugs to over-the-counter drugs, increasing access to the medicines. Moreover, many people worldwide prefer OTC drugs to treat minor illnesses before seeking professional care.

Cross-linked polyethylene, also known as PEX, XLPE or XPE, is a special type of polyethylene made from cross-linking polymer that can be bonded or pressed together at low temperatures, using heat to make it more malleable. It's most common use is in building materials, plumbing, gas and oil piping, insulation for heavy-gauge electrical cables and water heating systems. The polymers that make up PEX are called "Polypropylene""Polyisoprene". The cross-linking of the polymer molecules helps them form a strong bond when they're put together at high temperatures. PEX has many different uses, but the most popular among builders is in piping for plumbing systems, including plumbing fixtures like faucets, drains and showers. It can also be used in making water heater valves and lines, faucet pipes and joints, and drainage pipes for stormwater drains. Cross-linked polyethylene also has many other uses as well, including making pipe insulation, seals and adhesives for air conditioners, refrigerators and water heaters, and roofing materials. It's used to make the pipes that connect heating and air conditioning units to the rest of the house, as well as the ductwork between them. PEX pipes can also be used as a liner in place of Plexiglass to make an insulating layer on windows and doors, to block out cold air and warm sun-drenched air. The liner can also be used to cover vent pipes and to prevent moisture from building up on the interior of the house. This way, it acts as a "double layer" insulation, keeping the temperature and moisture level of the home in check.

Hyperphosphatemia is a condition caused by high levels of phosphorous or phosphate in the blood. This condition may be due to decreased emission of phosphate, excessive intake of phosphate, and the shift of phosphate from intracellular to extracellular. High phosphate levels in the blood can be avoided with the use of phosphate binders or by dietary restrictions. Phosphate is a chemical found in the human body and contains a mineral called phosphorous. It is important for the development of bones and teeth and also converts food into energy for the body. Some other possible causes of hyperphosphatemia include low levels of parathyroid hormone, high levels of vitamin D, uncontrolled diabetes, and diabetic ketoacidosis. The factors such as the growing geriatric population and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases worldwide are expected to drive the hyperphosphatemia drugs market in the coming future. Hyperphosphatemia is a primary cause of mortality and morbidity in people with chronic kidney disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 37 million adults in the United States are likely to have chronic kidney disease and most are undiagnosed. It is rare in the general population, but in people with chronic kidney disease, the rate of hyperphosphatemia is at least 70%. Since the increased risk of death from heart disease and hyperphosphatemia are associated with each other. This, in turn, increases the risk of heart disease in people suffering from hyperphosphatemia.

Toxic chemicals & materials are making their way into everyday consumer products, homes, buildings, and even more. Some toxic chemicals have been phased-out of manufacturing in the United States, including asbestos, toxic dyes, and lead-based paint. If you have been exposed to hazardous chemicals in your home or workplace, or if you are concerned about the environmental impact of your product or service, contact a lawyer. A good lawyer will investigate the dangers of chemical and material use, provide information on legal remedies available to you, and provide you with recommendations for better, safer practices. The attorneys can also help you find a chemical testing laboratory that will test the levels of chemicals in your environment to determine whether they cause negative health issues. If you are concerned about how the toxic chemicals & materials have entered your environment, consider cleaning it up yourself. For example, if you're in a business where chemicals are used or stored, you may be able to clean up contaminated waste, which may be easier than hiring a cleanup company. If you are concerned about the environmental impact of a toxic chemical, contact your local EPA. They have specific programs that address concerns about chemical contaminants. These programs include the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs and Biological Weapons Act.

Two most common anesthesia techniques used in the United States are intravenous and inhalation. Intravenous anesthetics or commonly known as IVAs are delivered to the lungs by means of the infusion pump, whereas inhalation anesthesia or commonly called inhalation anesthetics are inhaled directly into the nose. The inhalation method is less popular than the intravenous method mainly because of the difficulty in determining the exact drug concentration needed for effective anesthesia. Several studies and clinical trials have focused on determining the efficacy of both types of anesthesia techniques. For instance, in November 2020, a new clinical trial, The Volatile vs Total intravenous Anesthesia for major non-cardiac surgery (VITAL) trial was launched to compare two types of anesthetic to determine how soon after surgery they allow patients to return home. The trail will compare two methods of delivering anesthesia to a patient: inhalation and intravenous. The main functions of inhalation anesthesia are to relieve chest pain, provide relief to the airways in asthma and reduce the amount of sepsis (severe respiratory distress) in critically ill patients. The mechanism of action is quite similar to that of different drugs in the field of medication wherein it effects the different tissues in the body to produce a desired effect. It affects the muscles, ligaments and tissues in the airways by blocking the airway. Inhalation anesthetics are also referred to as antidepressants because it affects the brain chemical systems such as those responsible for depression and anxiety.

Peptic ulcer drugs are medicines that are used to help fight and treat the symptoms of ulcers in stomach. These drugs, when taken regularly, can stop the production of certain hormones, such as pancreatic enzymes which are responsible for the digestion of foods. When the stomach produces too many enzymes, this can result in a painful ulcer. The first introduction of Peptic Ulcer Drugs was in the 1930s and it is still an important part of medical treatment today. Histological research on ulcers in patients who had undergone ulcer surgery showed that ulcers developed because of a reduced digestive system and inadequate absorption of nutrients in the intestines. The first Peptic Ulcer Drugs, introduced in the United States were drugs which helped to improve the absorption and metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates in the bloodstream. Other Peptic Ulcer Drugs include drugs that reduce the inflammation of the lining of the stomach and lower the levels of certain enzymes which can cause ulcer growth.

With the numerous planned developments, it is projected that the field of diet and nutrition will advance as a result of the continued advancement of nutrigenomics.

Overview: Today's educated professionals function in a maze of different educational and training requirements, which vary from state to state and from profession to profession. Nowhere than in health care is this more evident where multidisciplinary health care practitioners work together towards a common goal for the patient. What is a profession? What areas of work require the unique professional education, training, and experience that becomes mandated by the state? What work requires professional judgment and skill so as to be regulated by the government through mandatory laws applicable to an individual person practicing his or her chosen profession? State laws are enacted for the protection of the public by legislatures in all the fifty states. A list of individual professions and their applicable statues and administrative regulations takes up entire volumes of lawbooks. These state laws impose significant regulation on these professionals, and often in very different ways found in many aspects of state regulation, from the educational process, the examination requirements, the state licensure applications, and the legal standards and rules of each unique profession. Explore how state licensure boards are created and function at the state level. While most such state agencies have common, core functions and operations, there are many differences - and some requirements that are truly the opposite from profession to profession. Review the common requirements the state imposes on the health care provider. Know the basics of professional education and licensure. Understand the difference between legally binding laws and mere codes of ethics, which are aspirational and do not form the basis for legal action. Find out how to understand and navigate the challenges presented from differing and conflicting state laws governing the many health care professions. Know where key requirements exist that are common to many professions. This program offers an obje

Overview: The webinar will concentrate on topics that HHS has announced will be the focus of the first round of "desk audits".
