Stephen Burlingham Going Beyond Art for Youth with Cancer
Cancer. The word that terrifies us, at any age. But when a young person is struck by it, it seems all the more tragic. To help cope with this harsh reality, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who joined together to form WHO Cares and created The Lounge at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). This is a place that allows teenagers to feel like teenagers and immerse in an atmosphere far unlike a hospital's (program). Stephen Burlingham creating his piece "Whisper." Photo: TYA@MSK. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Teen and Young Adult (TYA@MSK) Program offers special services to MSK's teen and young ...

The Art of Innovation: How to Become a " Partner of Choice "
There was a time when pharma did everything in-house, particularly R&D. These days outsourcing is well established and collaboration amongst organizations is becoming the  norm. Companies are essentially agnostic about the source of their innovation: a typical large pharma may find itself collaborating with smaller biotechs, a hi-tech giant, universities or major consultancies – and perhaps with all four across different projects.Such collaborations may, of course, address any part of the value chain.Angel P érez Agenjo, a senior marketing director at Lilly, is focused on innovating through collaboration within th...

Pruitt Earns A Failing Grade When It Comes To Climate Science
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said on CNBC: “I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do, and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.” This is consistent with Pruitt’s previous public statements and writings on climate change. It is also false and misleading. There is not “tremendous disagreement” among scientists but a strong consensus that humans are the primary cause of recent climate change. The consensus ...

Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) for the early diagnosis of dementia across a variety of healthcare settings
The Informant Questionnaire for Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) is a structured interview based on informant responses that is used to assess for possible dementia. IQCODE has been used for retrospective or contemporaneous assessment of cognitive decline. There is considerable interest in tests that may identify those at future risk of developing dementia. Assessing a population free of dementia for the prospective development of dementia is an approach often used in studies of dementia biomarkers. In theory, questionnaire-based assessments, such as IQCODE, could be used in a similar way, assessing for dementia t...

Protein biomarkers for early detection of diseases: The decisive contribution of combinatorial peptide ligand libraries.
Abstract The present review deals with biomarker discovery, especially in regard to sample treatment via combinatorial peptide ligand libraries, perhaps the only technique at present allowing deep exploration of biological fluids and tissue extracts in search for low- to very-low-abundance proteins, which could possibly mark the onset of most pathologies. Early-stage biomarkers, in fact, might be the only way to detect the beginning of most diseases thus permitting proper intervention and care. The following cancers are reviewed, with lists of potential biomarkers suggested in various reports: hepatocellular carci...
