Prolonged Preservation of Pediatric Size Hearts Using the VP.S ENCORE ® Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion Device
Purpose: Research indicates that in the last decade, only 24% of class III medical devices were approved by the FDA for pediatric use, generally for children over the age of 12. Currently, pediatric patients in need of a heart transplant do not have access to organ preservation devices simply because there are no devices suitable for preserving pediatric-sized hearts with appropriate physiological flows and perfusion pressures. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the safety of a novel, portable, simple-to-use hypothermic cardiac preservation device, the VP.S ENCORE ®, using pediatric-size porcine cardiac graft...

Syringes for intraocular administration: Systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: From the results obtained, it can be interpreted that the use of syringes and needles with silicone for intravitreal use is a concern for health professionals due to the implications and consequences that may arise in patients, the most important being adverse reactions, so it is necessary to have silicone-free syringes on the market that are specific for intraocular use. Safety and legality in the use of intraocular syringes and needles is essential to guarantee ocular integrity and patient health.PMID:38556370 | DOI:10.1016/j.farma.2024.01.008 (Source: Farmacia Hospitalaria)

A Sponsor ’s Perspective on the Contribution of Regulatory-Required Observational Post-Marketing Studies to Understanding Human Drug Product Benefit/Risk in Japan
ConclusionsThe reexamination process did not result in regulatory changes for any of the examined drugs. The Japan new-drug application (J-NDA) review and approval process, including implementation of the initial Japan product label, assures acceptable benefit/risk at the time of approval such that mandatory GDUI or SI studies for all products should be reconsidered. In the case of genuine scientific uncertainty to the extent that the benefit/risk of the product is not clear, a PMS is warranted. (Source: Pharmaceutical Medicine)

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring in Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases: Opportunities and Implementation
Med Res Arch. 2023 Jul;11(7.2):3957. doi: 10.18103/mra.v11i7.2.3957.ABSTRACTTherapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is a new program in the United States that began in 2022 allowing electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) and other patient-generated data to be reviewed by clinical staff between visits so that patients can receive clinical attention as needed. Remote Therapeutic Monitoring simultaneously enhances the capacity to generate prospective longitudinal data that may be useful for secondary research purposes. As many governmental and private insurance programs in the United States now provide reimbursement for Remote Ther...
