Shareholders through the sale of stock. There's another type of non-dilutive financing that's become quite popular in the biotech arena and that involves the sale of part or all of product-specific revenues or royalties. In essence, this type of financing allows firms to exchange uncertain future product royalties or revenues ; for immediate cash. But as we'll see, it also works well for those academic institutions that are getting royalties on sales of a product that originated in their labs. Xoma Ltd. was probably the first biotech to try this approach to fund-raising: In late 1997 it raised million by selling its rights to future royalties on sales of Rituxan to Pharmaceutical Partners LLC. Xoma had licensed the exclusive rights to its anti-CD20 antibody patents to Genentech Inc. in 1996; Genentech then sublicensed those rights to Idec Pharmaceuticals Corp. ; By now, royalty-based transactions are fairly common and they should become even more abundant as the list of marketable products grows. As well, companies may be able to strike a deal on late-clinical stage therapies, providing them with even more cash to fund operations. One of the most active investors in this field is Paul Capital Healthcare formerly Paul Royalty Fund ; , which was set up in 1999 and now has more than .4 billion in capital under management. Paul Capital not only invests in revenues or royalty streams issuing from companies, though: It also helps academic institutions, universities and even inventors to monetize the royalties due them on their intellectual property. About 90 percent of Paul Capital's transactions concern drugs that are already on the market, but it will consider unapproved products as well. There are criteria, though: According to Paul Capital Healthcare partner Walter Flamenbaum, it will do deals on new formulations of drugs that are known chemical entities; products that are already approved in one country or area of the world and not in others; and therapies that are approved for one indication but are now being tested in a separate disease setting. "Paul Capital takes a commercial risk, " Flamenbaum explained. "We don't like to take development or regulatory risks."

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE MERCK & CO., INC., Plaintiff, v. TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS USA, INC., Defendants. Each year's influenza vaccine contains three virus strains usually two type A and one type B ; representing the influenza viruses that are likely to circulate in the United States in the upcoming winter. Whole-virus, subvirion, and purified-surface antigen preparations are available. To minimize febrile reactions, only subvirion or purified-surfaceantigen preparations should be used for children; any of the preparations may be used for adults. Most vaccinated children and young adults develop high postvaccination hemagglutination-inhibition antibody titers. Elderly persons and persons with certain chronic diseases may develop lower postvaccination antibody titers than healthy young adults and thus may remain susceptible to influenza-related upper respiratory tract infection. However, even if such persons develop influenza illness despite vaccination, the vaccine can be effective in preventing lower respiratory tract involvement or other secondary complications, thereby reducing the risk for hospitalization and death. The effectiveness of influenza vaccine in preventing or attenuating illness varies, depending primarily on the age and immunocompetence of the vaccine recipient and the degree of similarity between the virus strains included in the vaccine and those that circulate during the influenza season. Among elderly persons residing in nursing homes, influenza vaccine is most effective in preventing severe illness, secondary complications, and death. Achieving a high rate of vaccination among nursing home residents can reduce the spread of infection in a facility, thus preventing disease through herd immunity.

The term "alcohol dependence" is not interchangeable with "alcohol abuse"; not all those who abuse alcohol are or may become dependent. Treatment is an appropriate approach to addressing alcohol dependence. Of the range of treatment approaches that are available, not all are appropriate for all individuals or in all cultural contexts. The provision of treatment services is an integral part of any comprehensive strategy around alcohol. Treatment must be tailored to the needs of different groups and be culturally appropriate. Where traditional approaches and venues are not available or where resources are lacking, alternative measures can be effective for prevention and treatment. For EXAMPLES OF TARGETED INTERVENTIONS, see the Blue Book index page of icap. Billions of health problems are treated annually with one or more nonprescription drugs as primary therapy or major adjunctive therapy. The prevalence of nonprescription drug use, as well as the potential for therapeutic misadventures, begs for attention by the profession of pharmacy. Wise consumers are seeking a higher degree of ownership in their own health care as well as a more collaborative partnership with health care providers, particularly their physician and pharmacist. In the nonprescription drug and nutritional supplement domains, consumers too often engage in independent self-care. Nonprescription drugs are powerful pharmacologic agents, many formerly prescription-only, and must be selected, used, and monitored with the same degree of care as prescription drugs. Pharmacists are increasingly committed to assuring safe, appropriate, and effective use of nonprescription medication and nutritional supplements as a core professional responsibility. Pharmacists are strategically posiCorresponding Author: Tim R. Covington, PharmD, MS.

Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome CTS ; usually complain of pain and paresthesia in the hand or wrist, but pain proximally to the wrist has been frequently reported in this condition. The study is aimed to understand which clinical features are associated with the presence of proximal pain in the upper-limb of CTS patients. Methods. We recruited 250 patients with clinical and neurophysiological evidence of CTS. After thorough selection to rule out concomitant upper-limb painful conditions, 112 patients 175 hands ; were included. Proximal pain was defined as the presence of pain or paresthesia in the upper-limb proximally to the wrist neck excluded ; in concomitance with sensory complaints in the hand. Patients were asked on the presence and severity of proximal sensory complaints and underwent an objective evaluation and a neurographic study. They were also asked on the distribution of sensory complaints in the hand. Results. Thenar muscle hypasthenia and the neurophysiological measures were significantly less severe and hand paresthesia was significantly greater in patients with proximal pain. The neurographic score and the measures of median nerve damage were inversely correlated with the severity of proximal pain. Proximal pain was related to extra-median spread of symptoms in the hand. None of the objective neurographic variables was related to severity of sensory complaints restricted to the hand. Conclusions. Proximal pain may be found in a consistent number of CTS patients. Proximal pain may represent a clinical marker of mild median nerve damage. The presence of proximal complaints might be related to peripheral or central nervous system mechanisms.
