Antibiotics5
In particular these have focused on the lack of commercial research and development on subjects arousing major health concerns, such as antibiotics and infectious diseases, due to insufficient profit margins. (who.int)
Attendees to last week's Medical Grand Rounds had the privilege of hearing from Dr. Tony Bai surrounding non-inferiority trials of new antibiotics. (queensu.ca)
In 2010 The FDA published guidelines on how to approve new antibiotics for new common infectious diseases, and since then, there has been an explosion of non-inferior antibiotic trials. (queensu.ca)
Infectious disease researchers believe that the efficacy of current antibiotics is adequate, and they are focusing their efforts largely on antibiotic conveniences, such as getting drugs into oral forms or creating drugs with a shorter duration. (queensu.ca)
Finally, Dr. Bai summarized the most useful new antibiotics that we can use in KGH and implored us to challenge traditional practices as sometimes they aren't necessarily supported by recent evidence. (queensu.ca)
Disease11
Since October 2018, the Center for Global Infectious Disease Research has been part of the Seattle Children's Research Institute. (wikipedia.org)
As part of the Institute's plan for scientific expansion, Aderem led the implementation of integrating systems biology approaches to understanding infectious disease. (wikipedia.org)
The organization's name was changed to the Center for Infectious Disease Research in April 2015 to better reflect its focus. (wikipedia.org)
Until this time, it was the largest independent, non-profit organization in the United States focused solely on infectious disease discovery research. (wikipedia.org)
BROOKLIN, Canada, Nov 26 2007 (IPS) - Chronic, non-infectious diseases like heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes kill more than twice as many people than HIV/AIDS, malaria or tuberculosis, experts warn. (ipsnews.net)

Beyond expanding support for its science and science technology programs, CZI is supporting the creation of new scientific institutes to take on grand scientific challenges in areas such as imaging, artificial intelligence, infectious disease research, cell biology, and neuroscience while building new technologies and tools to tackle them. (eurekalert.org)
and University California, San Francisco, to take on large-scale scientific challenges in areas like cell biology and infectious disease research. (eurekalert.org)
In addition to expanding our support for our core scientific programs in neurodegeneration, single-cell biology, imaging, open science, rare disease research, and infectious disease research, over the next 10 years, CZI Science will focus on building new tools and technologies to measure human biology in action to benefit human health. (eurekalert.org)
With this as the aim, non-inferiority trials are the perfect design, as the goal of infectious disease researchers is to prove that they are not compromising efficacy while increasing convenience. (queensu.ca)
Public Health Grand Rounds (GR) was established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director in 2009 to build the knowledge base of the public health workforce, make the connection between evidence and its use in public health and clinical practice, and increase awareness of key scientific and programmatic challenges in addressing major public health issues. (cdc.gov)
Chronic1
Among the general recommendations Daar and co-authors call the '20 Grand Challenges' is make these chronic, non-infectious diseases a 'political priority', along with the promotion of healthy lifestyles. (ipsnews.net)
Rounds3
To evaluate the relevance and educational benefit of monthly Public Health Grand Rounds (GR), an hour-long interactive lecture series featuring 1 current, relevant public health topic. (cdc.gov)
Grand Rounds sessions showcase areas of public health that have translated their own rigorous science into programs that have positive health outcomes and financial impacts. (cdc.gov)
Grand Rounds topics, which are annually solicited from throughout CDC, have included population health priorities, including tobacco control, health care–associated infections, motor vehicle accident reduction, prevention human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and nutrition and food safety. (cdc.gov)
Research3
In 2005, it received two Grand Challenges in Global Health grants, which are sponsored by the Gates, to accelerate its malaria research. (wikipedia.org)
The grand challenge for information-driven health is to make semantics-driven management of data standard practice across the whole spectrum of healthcare and medical research. (ukri.org)
His research was funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Grand Challenge Canada, SIDA and so forth. (gear4health.com)
Initiative3
Melinda Gates Foundation has addressed selected priorities in its Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative. (who.int)
bill Here, we review the impact of the Grand Challenges for Global Health (GCGH) initiative that was started by the BMGF in 2003 and that managed to influence the NIH's funding priorities. (alecomm.com)
Because public health is multidisciplinary and very broad in scope, building a general fund of knowledge, while a challenge, is a prerequisite for success of any public health initiative. (cdc.gov)
Make1
The Centre's identity is embedded in its core values - generosity, innovation, integrity, and quality- and its trajectory is a result of various interactions between multiple individuals, collaborators, teams, and institutions, which together with the challenges confronted, enables us to make an objective assessment of the partnership we would like to pursue, nurture and support. (biomedcentral.com)
World5
Inaction is costing millions of premature deaths throughout the world and will offset the gains from a decreasing burden of infectious diseases,' said Stig Pramming, executive director of the Oxford Health Alliance. (ipsnews.net)
The challenge for the world community is to bring development to poor communities without the negative consequences. (ipsnews.net)
In the United States and elsewhere in the world, junk food is far cheaper than high quality food so the poor are the most affected by these non-infectious diseases. (ipsnews.net)
Because of advances in technology, in many parts of the world today the capabilities exist to develop and use infectious diseases for harm," Mahmoud said. (princeton.edu)
