A Tour around Septic Shock http://pharmalicensing.com/features/disp/1006772425_3c0220c99cdbd Sepsis is an especially difficult condition for even highly skilled ICU staff to manage. Apart from being serious in its own right, many people who develop sepsis are already weakened by illness or injury. So it's unlikely that mortality will ever be eliminated in this vulnerable group. But the new drugs mentioned in this tour should markedly improve outcomes in this deadly disease. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Patenting Human Genes and other Parts of the Human Body under EC Biotechnology Directive http://pharmalicensing.com/features/disp/1008262393_3c18dcf915ce1 The EC Directive on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions (1998) is more than just a normative framework for patenting biological substances. After an uphill struggle against fierce opposition to 'patents on life', the Directive signifies a breakthrough in a yearlong stalemate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FEATURED COMPANIES We're pleased to announce the following profiles, recently added to our company directory: Aventis Pharma - Respiratory Technology http://pharmalicensing.com/company/dc/3258 Respiratory Product Development . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
