Emotional Activation from Theory to Practice
Yves Furet and Daniel Baumgartner, partners at LeadX, introduce the Betaferon case: possibly the clearest piece of evidence that the emotional-activation approach works in the pharmaceutical world. Betaferon is the first ever multiple sclerosis medicine. Some years after launch, sales were stagnating and market share was suffering. The product was then filled with emotions: the paradigm was shifted - attention was placed on patients #39; empowerment. Sales skyrocketed (an increase of 10% achieved in only 6 months). Certainly an interesting case study for all interested in pharma industry management and emotional activation.From:Stefano DavanzoViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:25More inPeople Blogs

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6kl7tg/stem_cell_and) has announced the addition of the "Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine" book to their offering.
The potential use of stem cells in transplantation for the purpose of tissue regeneration is an exciting area of research currently undergoing rapid development. Implantation of human embryonic or autologous, ex vivo-expanded adult stem cells, particularly in older individuals, could circumvent the limited availability of organs/tissues as well as prevent complications related to immune rejection and disease transmission. Musculoskeletal tissue degeneration is closely associated with aging. Strategies employing autologous adult MSCs from older individuals for transplantation in order to regenerate their own ailing organ or tissues require that we vigorously define MSCs capacity to maintain growth potential and differentiation potential into the desirable cell lineages. We are currently restricted by the limited knowledge about physical parameters, such as biomechanical forces, that influence MSC growth and differentiation capacities. This is particularly important for MSCs isolated from older individuals, for whom little information is available.
This special volume aims to serve as an impetus in generating more interest among stem cell researchers and biotechnologists to improve and develop the cell-based therapies of damaged tissue using stem cells.

Molecular medicine institute to put genomics research into clinical practice today
PHOENIX, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix Children's Hospital announced the creation of the Ronald A. Matricaria Institute of Molecular Medicine today, with the goal to unlock genetic codes and develop drug therapies in real time to improve the outcome for thousands of young patients.

"Our goal is to bring genomics research to the forefront of pediatrics," said Robert L. Meyer, Phoenix Children's president and CEO. "Research and development of novel treatments for pediatric diseases has fallen short over past decades." According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute,70 percent of all medications prescribed to children have been tested only in adults. Clinical studies in children lead to a better understanding of the specific differences between children and adults, thus leading to the development of safer, more effective, and age-appropriate treatments.
"We also must address a fundamental flaw in traditional and personalized medicine diagnosis and treatment of a disease based on clinical instead of genomic information," Meyer noted.
Molecular, or personalized, medicine uses genetic information to determine the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. By studying a patient's genetic makeup, researchers can identify the individual's susceptibility to disease, predict their response to a particular drug, and match the patient with a specific therapy. The team will focus on pediatric cancers in phase one, and expand to other pediatric diseases over time.
Two distinguished scientists are joining Phoenix Children's and were named the institute's co-directors:
A critical component to this venture is Phoenix Children's collaborative relationships with leading bioscience institutions. The University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix brings academic and research programs, as well as academic credentials necessary to recruit and develop a research program.
The College utilized a $1.25 million gift from the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust to help secure the two endowed chairs.
"The Institute is a critical piece in the development of our campus and the emerging academic medical center in Phoenix," said Stuart D. Flynn, dean of the College of Medicine Phoenix. "This program will catalyze Phoenix Children's Hospital and our region to become national contributors and leaders in molecular medicine.

The show: A few more than 500 people took over the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre on Saturday night for a pair of Nashville-based bands, headliners Old Crow Medicine Show and openers Chuck Mead & His Grassy Knoll Boys. The crowd made enough noise, and had enough fun, for 1,000. Which raises the question: Why have promoters waited so long to book Old Crow Medicine Show in the 210 area code?
Old Crow, a slick-picking, sharp-singing, string-driven sextet with the energy and collective personality of a room full of rock bands, didnt waste any time hitting their stride with Carry Me Back to Virginia, the title track of the latest CD, and Alabama High-Test. The band was fronted by almost everyone in the crew at one time or another in the 90-minute, 25-song set. But fiddler, harmonica player, singer, etc. Ketch Secor did most of the master of ceremonies heavy lifting, making plenty of San Antonio references (vatos, fruit cups and H-E-B), making sure everyone in the house knew guitarist, banjo picker, singer and accordionist Critter Fuqua is from San Antonio, and making sure there were no dull moments.
While a breakneck fusion of mountain music, bluegrass and jug band offerings is Old Crows stock-in-trade, the band sings beautifully and spiced the Empire set with ballads, murder and otherwise, including Take 'em Away, My Good Gal and Aint It Enough.
But, for Old Crow and their fans, theres no substitute for the uptempo tunes such as Humdinger, Raise a Ruckus, Mississippi Saturday Night and Tear It Down. When Old Crow Medicine show launched into Wagon Wheel, penned with Bob Dylan, the ovation and singing along were enough to shake the Empires chairs.
Value added: For Old Crows encore, they brought Mead and the Grassy Knoll Boys onstage for Country Gal then upped the ante with a special guest, San Antonio rock n roll pioneer and conjunto ace Jesse Chucho Perales. Both Secor and Fuqua took bajo sexto lessons from Perales, and Fuqua played gigs with Perales on Main Plaza. The mass band played a swinging Cherokee Boogie and a first-class rendition of Don Santiago Jimenezs Ay Te Dejo En San Antonio. Perales has had some serious health problems. Before he left the Empire stage, Perales took the microphone and, with well-honed show business timing, announced he was cancer-free. During the final number, Bob Dylans Quinn the Eskimo (Mighty Quinn), everyone sang along with a little more gusto.
For openers: Guitarist, singer and songwriter Chuck Mead, co-founder of the country outfit BR549, and His Grassy Knoll Boys, one of the best trios going, opened with a tight, 40-minute, 14-song set that twanged with abandon. Mead and company worked the room perfectly, opening with One Long Saturday Night and hitting on all country cylinders through The Devil In Me, the BR549 hit Me and Opie (Down By the Duck Pond) and classic covers from the bands latest CD, Back at the Quonset Hut, including Settin the Woods on Fire, Girl on the Billboard and Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor. Nashville came to the Empire and made an impression.

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Andrew R. Watson, MD, MLitt, FACS, medical director for the Center for Connected Medicine, a global thought leader defining the transformation of health care, will moderate a breakfast panel opening this years mHealth Summit Dec. 3-5 in Washington, D.C. The session, sponsored by Healthcare IT News and mHIMSS.org, will consider physician reluctance to embrace mHealth, as well as explore both short- and long-term challenges and solutions.
Physician hesitation to adopt mobile technology runs contrary to consumers desire to conduct more and more of their lives via smartphone, tablet or similar device. Concerned about losing the personal connection with patients, many providers have been slow to implement emerging solutions. Ironically, this unwillingness may actually alienate tech-savvy individuals who prefer caregivers that can communicate in ways they consider convenient and comfortable.
The session, scheduled for 7:30-8:45 a.m. Monday, Dec. 3, preceding the summit's opening keynote, is titled mPowering the Physician in the Era of Patient-Directed Healthcare. Panelists include:
Panelists will address issues such as how to engage physicians in the mHealth conversation and how to best introduce mHealth technology into a practice. In addition, they will present best practices in mHealth technology that are producing reliable clinical outcomes for physicians. Other issues to be discussed include privacy and security concerns; patient accountability; reimbursement platforms; protocols for using approved devices; and the regulation and management of mobile apps.
The mHealth Summit is a great forum for discussing current perspectives and best practices for mHealth adoption, says Dr. Watson. I look forward to the opportunity to participate in this session, intended to shine a spotlight on the great value mHealth technology can provide. Candid discussion will help reassure physicians that, however daunting the transition may be, embracing mobility will benefit them and their patients.

Center for Connected Medicine Executive to Moderate Panel Session at mHealth Summit 2012
KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Negara on Monday passed the Traditional and Complementary Medicine Bill 2012 which requires all traditional medicine practitioners to register with the Council of Traditional and Complementary Medicine.
"The Bill does not allow individuals who only attend a short course (in the discipline) to use the title of doctor, for example Dr (H) for a practitioner of homeopathy," she said.
Rosnah said 13,811 practitioners of traditional and complementary medicine had registered with the ministry in the country so far.
On Islamic medicine or Rukyah, she said the Health Ministry had published a book "Garis Panduan dalam Perubatan Islam" (Guide to Islamic Medicine) which must be adhered to by the practitioners.
"Some 600 practitioners of Islamic medicine have registered with the ministry," she said.
Rosnah said eight local institutions of higher learning offered academic studies on traditional and complementary medicine.
"The courses include the Degree Programme for Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Bachelor of Homeopathy.
"The institutions include the Southern College in Skudai; Universiti Tuanku Abdul Rahman; Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences; Management and Science University (MSU) and the Melaka College of Complementary Medicine(MCCM)," she said.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Ariosa Diagnostics today announced that the Harmony Prenatal Test was featured during a presentation at the Fetal Medicine Foundation's "Advances in Fetal Medicine" course on Dec. 1, 2012 in London. Professor Kypros Nicolaides, M.D., director of the Fetal Medicine Centre (http://www.fetalmedicine.com/fmc/) and the Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine (http://www.harrisbirthright.org/), highlighted the center's clinical experience with the Harmony test as well as how to implement non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) with cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis in routine clinical practice for a general screening population. The center is currently offering the Harmony test to all pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy at 10 weeks of gestational age or later. More than 700 physicians and international experts from 70 countries in fetal medicine attended the course.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121203/NE22396LOGO)
"Cell-free DNA testing, such as that with the Harmony test, represents a brilliant new development and must be offered as a routine test," Nicolaides said. "Since introducing the Harmony test at the Fetal Medicine Centre, we have already seen the benefit of detecting cases of Down syndrome that would have been missed with conventional first-trimester combined screening. We have also avoided unnecessary invasive procedures that would otherwise have been performed due to false positive results from conventional screening."
The Harmony test analyzes cfDNA circulating in maternal blood and allows for a high level of accuracy in detecting fetal trisomies, such as trisomy 21, which causes Down syndrome. Nicolaides and his research team have produced four studies of the Harmony test (involving thousands of women) that have shown a greater than 99 percent detection rate for trisomy 21 and false positives of less than 0.1 percent.
The Fetal Medicine Centre became the first institution outside of North America to begin offering the Harmony test to patients in October 2012, and Nicolaides and his team are evaluating the clinical experiences of patients who undergo the testing and give birth. Ariosa plans to expand the availability of the Harmony test internationally. The Harmony test involves a single, standard blood draw performed as early as 10 weeks' gestation.
