Coronavirus (CoV) is a large family of viruses that cause mild-to-severe illnesses, with common symptoms, such as cough and cold. The severe forms include Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV). The novel CoV (nCoV) is a new strain of virus that hadn’t been previously detected in humans. These viruses are zoonotic in nature, which means they are transmitted between animals and human patients.
The first outbreak of COVID-19 was detected in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, with an epidemiological link to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where sale of live animals is conducted. After China's National Health Commission submitted reports, regarding the health condition of people and onset of the novel viral infection, to the World Health Or…

A therapy app is encouraging users to reduce the risk of depression, which affects 300 million people worldwide, by changing their eating habits to a diet high in fruits, vegetables, fish, olive oil, nuts and seeds - and low in sugar and saturated fat. Based on the latest clinical psychology and nutrition research, the Flow app helps users to understand, treat and reduce the risk of depression - and is free to download on iOS and Android.

From global economic concerns and escalating trade tensions to the ‘closed border mentality’ being adopted by some nation states, as we enter the new decade, there’s a real sense that the era of fervent globalisation and the pursuit of ever-more frictionless trade may now be at an end.

Trying to better manage type 2 diabetes but don’t know how? Zara Syed, Lead Pharmacist, Spirit Health Group, explains how specialist pharmacy support can help make it happen – all you need to do is send your prescription to the right place.
This year, around 200,000 people in the UK – roughly one every three minutes – will be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). For many, it will be a daunting prospect; the condition can lead to long-term complications such as sight loss, amputation or kidney failure, as well as increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. However, while the potential implications of diabetes are well documented, the disease is commonly misunderstood. A high percentage of people think that T2D is untreatable and irreversible. Thankfully they’re mistaken. Managed properly…

Do medical device manufacturers bring new advantages to labelling compliance thanks to their engineering-orientated approach? asks Kallik’s David Bennett
Do medical device manufacturers bring new advantages to labelling compliance thanks to their engineering-orientated approach? asks Kallik’s David Bennett In the pharmaceutical world, labelling change management is a complex enough affair already. But it’s made all the more challenging because the physical labelling side tends to be handled by regulatory and manufacturing teams, while the artwork by design teams is typically managed at third-party agencies. None of this is well coordinated and it can be difficult to see the current status of output, the likely impact of planned changes, and what will be involved to roll out these changes wh…

Challenging the problem of rising obesity levels, musculoskeletal injuries and liable in NHS mortuaries.
By Sharon Rindsland, Senior Manual Handling Co-ordinator, East Kent Hospitals Since 1975 worldwide obesity has nearly tripled. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were classed as being overweight, of these 650 million were obese. However, this doesn’t just apply to adults, over 340 million children and adolescents aged 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2016 . Unfortunately, complications related to obesity continue post-mortem. Nursing staff and mortuary technicians often face these complications when processing and transferring overweight patients. Issues such as loss of dignity for the patient, difficulty transferring patients resulting in musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) for staff, inc…

Having digitalised and centralised all of its regulated product data, a major global pharmaceutical company recently realised that it now has unprecedented insight into the relative regulatory and market status of all of its products right across the world. In total, that’s around 14,000 products globally.
As life sciences firms continue invest in collating comprehensive regulated product data for compliance purposes, could they be doing more to capitalise on the insights locked within these rich digital resources. AMPLEXOR’s David Gwyn considers the untapped potential.

A new study from Finland sheds fresh light on how melanoma cells interact with other cells via extracellular vesicles they secrete. The researchers found that extracellular vesicles secreted by melanoma cells use the so-called hedgehog signalling pathway to intensify the malignant properties of the cells they are targeting. The discovery can help in the development of better treatment and diagnostics for melanoma.

There has been much talk recently about the challenge of retaining talent in life sciences, particularly in relation to safety and regulatory disciplines, where younger professionals’ ambitions for a broad base of experience are jarring with companies’ needs to hold onto expertise they have invested in.

Enzymes are a class of biological catalysts. They govern many catalytic processes such as metabolism, nutrition, and energy conversion of organisms. Most of the reactions closely related to life processes are enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
Catalysis Enzymes are a class of biological catalysts. They govern many catalytic processes such as metabolism, nutrition, and energy conversion of organisms. Most of the reactions closely related to life processes are enzyme-catalyzed reactions. These properties of the enzyme enable the intricate process of material metabolism in the cell to proceed in an orderly manner, and to adapt material metabolism to normal physiological functions. If an enzyme is defective due to genetic defects, or the enzyme activity is weakened by other reasons, it can caus…

In order to carry out various life activities, the organism must obtain energy and produce new substances needed for its growth.
In order to carry out various life activities, the organism must obtain energy and produce new substances needed for its growth. By ingesting nutrients, organisms produce energy through decomposition; or produce new substances through synthesis. In organisms, nutrition molecules participate in various decomposition and synthesis reactions, collectively known as metabolism. Any substance has more or less energy. When a substance changes through a chemical reaction, it will take a long time to complete under the condition of no external force. This long-term reaction is not enough to maintain life activity of the organism. Therefore, organisms have developed…

Anti-aging is intensively discussed nowadays. This article talks about the factors and biomarkers that relates to aging.
Exercise and aging Although lots of money and efforts have been invested into drug development, no drug is found to be effective in combatting aging. It is important to note that exercise is a truly effective anti-aging measure. In the absence of suitable treatments for age-related dysfunction, exercise is currently the only intervention that shows significant efficacy, reducing the incidence of age-related diseases, improving quality of life, and even increasing the life expectancy of the human body. Even moderate exercise can bring seeable benefits. Although key molecular participants mediating the protective effects of exercise on age-related diseases are not yet known…

With the society becoming ever more egalitarian, there’s an increasing concern among dads at work regarding policies that support work-life balance.
But, when it comes to offering support to new parents, much focus is on relieving new mothers. We see companies all over the world boasting of their family-friendly policies. They’re going out of the way to provide young mothers with paid maternity leave, in-house day-care, nursing breaks, part-time and/or remote work options, and more. But, what about new dads? Are they getting the same level of support? Why does it even matter? In this article, we’ll take a look at the current situation of work-life balance among working dads, focussed particularly in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. We’ll identify some of the key factors that dist…
