Recently, the Montana legislature passed a bill that allows medical institutions to sell drugs that have only passed Phase I clinical trials without the need for U.S. FDA approval. The legislation was promoted by a group of people committed to extending human life span, including scientists, libertarians and opinion leaders. They hope that Montana can become a testing ground for medical innovation, providing more options for patients, especially those with terminal illnesses or those who are ineffective with existing treatments, so that they can have earlier access to some experimental drugs that may have potential therapeutic effects. What exactly does this bill include? First, doctors can apply for a license to open an experimental treatment clinic to recommend and sell non-FDA-approved therapies to patients. #No FDA approval required At the same time, these clinics must disclose all treatment effect and adverse event data to patients and regulators, and publish treatment ...

Drugdu.com expert’s response: Tirzepatide demonstrates remarkable efficacy in both glucose-lowering and weight reduction, with favorable safety profiles and positive effects on overall metabolic health. However, attention should be paid to individual differences and potential adverse reactions. Below is a detailed analysis of its effects: Glucose-Lowering Effects: Tirzepatide is a dual agonist of the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. By enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, and delaying gastric emptying, it significantly reduces blood glucose levels. Clinical trials have shown that tirzepatide can substantially lower glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, aiding patients in better blood glucose control and reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. Weight Reduction Effects: Tirzepatide exhibits outstanding efficacy in weight loss. It significantly reduces body weight by delaying gastric emptying and suppressing central appetite. In a clinical trial involving obese or overweight non-diabetic patients, the high-dose (15mg) tirzepatide group achieved an average weight loss of ...
As swimming season heats up, you might notice your fingers wrinkle after spending time in the water — turns out, those wrinkles are the same with every dip you take. And that, researchers from Binghamton University, State University of New York, could have useful applications for crime investigators. Guy German and his team at SUNY’s Biological Soft Matter Mechanics Laboratory discovered that the wrinkles come from blood vessels contracting under the skin and not from skin swelling, as folks once thought. German had previously studied this in 2023, he explained, but a student’s follow-up question inspired more research. “A student asked, ‘Yeah, but do the wrinkles always form in the same way?’ And I thought: ‘I haven’t the foggiest clue!’ ” said German, who teaches biomedical engineering at the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science. In a study published in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior ...
