These proteins cause the walls of a person’s blood vessels to keep growing and thicken over time. As the blood vessels narrow, the heart is forced to work harder to pump blood to the lungs. Treatment with a combination of drugs that dilate, or relax, blood vessels can improve this outlook, but they are not a cure. Both groups were also taking the standard medications for the condition, which help relax blood vessels to improve blood flow. But Galiatsatos said that as promising as the drug looks, there are still many unknowns, including whether the drug will benefit all PAH patients equally.

Brisbane, Australia CNN —An Australian teacher who killed his wife so he could start a new life with a teenage student has been sentenced to an extra year in prison for a crime committed when the girl was 16 years old. Their relationship continued despite intense speculation about the whereabouts of Dawson’s wife Lynette, who Dawson had claimed walked out on their family when their children were just two and four years old. Nathan PattersonNo trace of Lynette Dawson has ever been found despite multiple police investigations and searches, which included digging up the backyard of the couple’s former home on Sydney’s northern beaches in 2018. Dawson has continued to maintain his innocence, even after being found guilty in 2022 of murdering Lynette sometime around 1982. During the judge-only trial, multiple witnesses claimed to have seen Lynette Dawson in the years after, but Judge Ian Harrison dismissed those as false or mistaken.

REUTERS/Adrees Latif/File PhotoAug 8 (Reuters) - Emergent BioSolutions (EBS.N) on Tuesday decided to cut 400 jobs and scale back operations at some its facilities, pivoting its focus on core products such as overdose reversal nasal spray Narcan and anthrax vaccines. Smaller biotech companies have been struggling to finance drug development programs and that has hampered their ability to deliver on contract research services for over a year. The company had nearly 2,500 employees as of Dec.31, according to its regulatory filing. Emergent expects to incur an estimated cost of between about $19 million and $21 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Her hospital and pharmacy is open 24/7, and she works 8-hour shifts including Sundays at times. Rummana said the job is always fast-paced, but she's grateful and loves being a hospital pharmacist.

☆ Fact Check-Inhaling hydrogen peroxide and iodine unsafe, and not a proven treatment for respiratory symptoms
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-23 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

Topical antiseptics such as hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or a combination of the two are not safe to inhale and not proven to treat respiratory infections, contrary to social media claims that breathing in these liquids is a good idea. Still, social media users are sharing a video that claims using a nebulizer to make a vapor from a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and iodine can treat respiratory infections like sore throat. Both hydrogen peroxide and iodine solutions are used on the skin, usually to prevent infection of minor cuts and scrapes (here). Evidence from studies of accidental inhalation shows that hydrogen peroxide can damage tissue and iodine can be toxic. There is no evidence that combining hydrogen peroxide and iodine in a nebulizer will treat respiratory symptoms, and the practice is potentially damaging and toxic, experts told Reuters.

☆ Agenția Medicamentului din SUA stopează producţia într-o fabrică de vaccinuri Johnson & Johnson. Care este cauza

Reprezentanţii grupului Johnson & Johnson, un gigant din industria farmaceutică, au declarat la sfârşitul lunii martie că au identificat într-o fabrică din Baltimore (statul Maryland), administrată de compania Emergent BioSolutions, un lot de doze de vaccinuri „care nu erau conforme cu standardele de calitate”. Reprezentanţii grupului Johnson & Johnson nu au precizat cantitatea de doze care prezentau acea deficienţă de fabricaţie, scrie digi24.roCotidianul The New York Times a anunţat apoi că lotul vizat conţinea 15 milioane de doze. Fabrica administrată de Emergent BioSolutions nu era, în acea perioadă, autorizată de agenţiile americane de reglementare pentru a produce „o substanţă medicamentoasă” pentru vaccinul Johnson & Johnson, au precizat reprezentanţii companiei farmaceutice. Însă presa americană a anunţat că autorităţile federale prevedeau ca acea fabrică să producă zeci de milioane de doze în viitorul apropiat. Agenţia Europeană pentru Medicamente (EMA) urmează să se pronunţe marţi în legătură cu siguranţa vaccinului Johnson & Johnson.
