Teva, Jiangsu Nhwa Ink Strategic Partnership Deal Focused on Patient Access to Austedo in China

Don Tracy, Associate Editor Collaboration aims to leverage Nhwa’s expertise in the country’s neuro-psychiatric health sector. Today, Teva announced that it has entered into a collaboration with Nhwa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd with the goal of providing easier access to Teva’s drug Austedo in China. Austedo focuses on the treatment of neurodegenerative and movement disorders, particularly chorea associated with Huntington disease (HD) and tardive dyskinesia (TD) in adults. According to Teva, the partnership is a part of its goal of expanding the medication as a global brand, as it earned approximately over $1.2 billion in profits last year. Further, Teva reported that Austedo is the first deuterated drug to be approved in China. Deuteration involves replacing hydrogen atoms with deuterium, which can slow down the drug’s metabolism, allowing for less frequent dosing and potentially improving patient compliance.1 “We are committed to addressing the pressing needs of patients in China with more ...

Asthma Medication Xolair May Reduce Peanut Allergies, New Study Finds

Mike Hollan FDA has approved the medication in adults and children with allergies. A peanut allergy can be a difficult and terrifying thing to live with. People with these allergies have to be on constant alert, as coming into contact with even a small amount of the food can cause a severe reaction. Thousands of Americans live with these allergies, and they are responsible for a similar number of emergency room visits. Typically, the best way to treat a peanut is to just avoid them altogether, which can be difficult due to how common nuts and nut oils are used in cooking. A recent announcement from Novartis, however, may make life a lot easier (and much less scary) for people living with these allergies. Novartis released that data from a new study which suggests that asthma medication Xolair can be used to treat certain food allergies, including nuts, eggs, milk, ...

Recommendations announced for influenza vaccine composition for the 2024-2025 northern hemisphere influenza season

The World Health Organization (WHO) today announced the recommendations for the viral composition of influenza vaccines for the 2024-2025 influenza season in the northern hemisphere. The announcement was made at an information session after a 4-day meeting on the Composition of Influenza Virus Vaccines. The meeting is held twice annually, once for the southern and once for the northern hemisphere. WHO organizes these consultations with an advisory group of experts gathered from WHO Collaborating Centres and WHO Essential Regulatory Laboratories to analyse influenza virus surveillance data generated by the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS). The recommendations issued are used by the national vaccine regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies to develop, produce, and license influenza vaccines for the following influenza season. The periodic update of viruses contained in influenza vaccines is necessary for the vaccines to be effective due to the constant evolving nature of influenza viruses, including ...

Researchers develop terahertz biosensor to detect skin cancer for early diagnosis

Results from the study could also be used for other forms of cancer and diseases Researchers from the University of Glasgow and Queen Mary University of London have developed a new biosensor using terahertz (THz) waves that can detect skin cancer with strong sensitivity. Published in the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, the study results could pave the way for easier and earlier diagnoses of skin cancer and potentially other cancers and diseases. Affecting one in four men and one in five women at least once in their lifetime in the UK, skin cancer is an abnormal growth of skin cells that involves three major types: basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Most skin cancer is often detected using traditional methods that involve expensive, time-consuming CT and PET scans, and invasive higher-frequency technology. After exploring the potential of THz metasurfaces, researchers designed the biosensor to detect subtle ...

New report urges UK policymakers to take urgent action on declining child health

The report includes five recommendations for the government to address these issues The Academy of Medical Sciences has published a new report that highlights evidence of declining health among children under five years in the UK and has called on policymakers to take urgent action. The new report highlights that children’s health has been overlooked in policy, the health service and research from pre-conception through pregnancy to the first five years of life. Written by several child health experts, the new report, Prioritising Early Childhood to Promote the Nation’s Health, Well-being and Prosperity, warns the UK government of major health issues including infant mortality, obesity and tooth decay and highlights the economic prosperity of children’s health, which is estimated to cost at least £16bn a year. According to the report, which involved perspectives from parents and carers, infant survival rates are worse than in 60% of similar countries and, between ...
