China has more than 40 million patients with endophthalmic disease, and is in urgent need of new drugs to break through the treatment dilemma. The number of patients with fundus diseases in China is increasing, with the potential number of patients with fundus diseases reaching 40 million. The most common of them are diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, in addition to many other types ...
A new report from the Access to Medicine Foundation calls for urgent changes in research and development (R&D) to ensure new antibiotics and antifungals reach patients facing drug-resistant infections. The report examines five late-stage antimicrobial projects targeting severe drug-resistant pathogens, revealing that structured advance planning for access and stewardship is not yet standard among companies. Four out of five companies—GSK, Pfizer, Innoviva, and Venatorx—are conducting clinical trials involving children, aiming to improve access for paediatric patients. Despite these efforts, only five low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)—China, India, Mexico, South Africa, and Thailand—have concrete commitments for drug registration. Many of the remaining 108 LMICs with high burdens of targeted diseases lack such commitments. The report underscores the need for partnerships and licensing agreements to enhance access in LMICs. SMEs have pursued wider access through collaborations, like those with the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP). However, the report finds that ...

One of the most critical measurements in healthcare is the blood cell count, which can provide insights into a range of conditions from infections and autoimmune diseases to cancer. Traditionally, collecting a sample for this test involves a blood draw that must be performed at a clinic and analyzed in a centralized clinical laboratory. This requirement can be a significant barrier for homebound individuals or those living in remote areas. Now, researchers have simplified the process to just a finger prick, with blood collected on a paper-dried blood spot card that can be mailed to a lab for analysis, including measurement of white blood cell counts. Researchers at Tufts University (Medford, MA, USA) are developing methods to perform these tests that significantly reduce costs and increase accessibility. They are utilizing a widely available resource: paper. Their groundbreaking paper-based tests for personal health monitoring do away with the need for costly ...
