A call for transparency in medicine pricing
Inquirer.net, Philippines
This should not be the case. There can be a better equitable way out of this. The government must put up a transparent mechanism in medicine pricing to influence the market to respond to the public?s call and moderate their profit-orientation. Though this first action will address the imperfection of the system, it is not enough. The second half of action involves addressing the market failure by developing a proper and responsive competitive pharmaceutical sector capable of undertaking science and technology activities. The Philippine Government has tried to respond to the call for transparency. The Department of Health and PhilHealth have come up with Drug Price Reference Index (DPRI).
Medical textbook gender bias
Consult Magazine Online, Australia
The study from the University of Zaragoza suggested that when it comes to western anatomy textbooks white men are considered the “universal model” and this bias may compromise medical care. The study, headed by Professor Maria Barral and presented at the 5th Women, Health and Gender Forum in Spain, also indicated there was evidence of implied evolutionary superiority of white males in the textbook images. StudyThe team looked at 12 western anatomy textbooks recommended by 20 of the most prestigious medical schools in Europe, the United States and Canada. The researchers analysed 16,329 images from the textbooks and found the vast majority of images were of white men despite diversity being the norm in nature.

Science Daily (press release)
The long-elusive binding site on BAX that initiates its killer activity was revealed. "Because BAX lies at the crossroads of the cell’s decision to live or die, drugs that directly activate BAX could kill diseased cells like in cancer and BAX-blocking drugs could potentially prevent unwanted cell death, such as in heart attack, stroke, and neurodegeneration," said Walensky. Additional authors include Marguerite Davis, Kenneth Pitter, Gregory Bird, PhD, and Samuel Katz, MD, PhD, of Dana-Farber, and Ho-Chou Tu, Hyungjin Kim, and Emily H. Cheng, MD, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine, St. The research was supported, in part, by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Protecting patient privacy the new fashioned way
Science Centric, Bulgaria
HIPAA regulations safeguard patient’s personal health information but can also complicate the process of safeguarding public health. Information aggregated from the medical records of vast numbers of individuals is needed to develop new drug therapies and novel medical treatments, to stop epidemics or prevent other life threatening events. In a study published in the September-October issue of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, Jeff Friedlin, D. , of the Regenstrief Institute, Inc. and the Indiana University School of Medicine, discusses a new computer program that may resolve the complex issue of privacy vs.
