...of new drugs and new research to use these drugs effectively. Drug companies run a substantial amount of tests before finding one that works effectively through all the different phases of testing. The process of drug approval is controlled in most countries by a governmental regulatory agency. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) governs this process. The FDA requires the following phases to be achieved successfully before a drug can be sent to market, preclinical testing, investigational new drug application, phases I clinical trials, phase II clinical trials, phases III clinical trials, new drug application, and post marketing studies. A preclinical trial is the testing that begins before human testing can be conducted and which important feasibility, iterative testing and drug safety data is collected. This type of data research allows scientists to come up with a safe dosage for humans; typically this is done with animal testing. These tests can usually take around 3 to 4 years, before moving on to the next step. If there are no adverse effects then the drug moves on to the next step, which is investigational new drug application (IND). The pharmaceutical company files an IND with the FDA to begin testing the drug in people. The IND becomes effective if the FDA does not disapprove it within 30 days (medicine.net, 1999). The IND must include the following information: the results of previous experiments; how, where and by whom the new studies will be...

...M E M O R A N D U M TO | Mr Luke Tong | FROM: | Kylie Vanuti | DATE: | 1 March 2010 | RE | Proposal to Write a Feasibility Report for an Employee Work/Life Balance Program | Overview The following is a proposal to conduct a feasibility study into the need for, and the benefits of, instituting an employee work/life balance program for Brahm Industries. This proposal contains background on the importance of employee work/life balance on productivity, my qualifications, costs associated with the study, and a schedule for completion of the feasibility study. Attracting and retaining talent is crucial to an organisation's success and with the current trends in the labour market, retaining talent and ensuring business continuity is an ongoing challenge that requires careful human resource management. Need for a Work/Life Balance Program Research shows that to maintain a healthy lifestyle balance, a 24 hour day should be divided into thirds: one third for sleep, one third for work and one third for play. The trend in today’s workplace is for employees to work longer hours and as a result, when they arrive home they do not feel like exercising or cooking quality meals. As well, many employees are not taking their holidays. These two issues result in lethargy and absenteeism due to health issues and impact on employee productivity. A healthy staff will reduce costs to the organisation and assist in meeting budget requirements. Research also shows that work-life balance...

...Turing Pharmaceuticals has been in the news for raising the price of prescription drugs. The price of Daraprim, a drug to treat toxoplasmosis, was increased by over five thousand percent. The increase has sparked people from both the AIDS and cancer organizations to reach out and attack the ethics of Chief Executive Officer, Martin Shkreli through social media. The increase in price may prevent hospitals from having treatment available for patients who need it. The practice of price gouging prescription drugs has now become an important political topic many candidates running for President of the United States in 2016 will be talking about. Significance of a Solution Recognizing that developing, manufacturing, and marketing pharmaceuticals is a very profitable business, the case of Turing Pharmaceutical’s purchase and marketing of the drug Daraprim spotlights a potentially serious issue with the way some companies “repackage” existing drugs to create higher profit margins. Daraprim (Pyrimethamine) was originally approved January 23, 1953 for the treatment of toxoplasmosis, an infection caused by a very common parasite (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, n.d.). Because most people never exhibit symptoms of this disease, sales of this drug were very small; and, no generic drug company ever bothered to duplicate the formula (Mayo Clinic, 2015). Seizing the opportunity to “corner the market” on this drug, Turing Pharmaceuticals purchased the rights and immediately raised the price...

...primarily on improving consumer knowledge through mass media, schoolbased, and point-of-purchase education.-"-- Such interventions have shown positive effects on nutrition knowledge, but changes in food-choice behaviors have been modest in magnitude, variable, and often short lived. Environmental strategies designed to influence food choice through mechanisms of availability and cost rather than nutrition education have received less research attention.5-14 Perhaps the most impressive of these studies in magnitude of effect was a recent cafeteria-based study that examined pricing and availability influences on food choice.'4 Prices of fruit and salad were reduced by 50%, and the number of fruit and salad items available was increased. Purchase of fruit and salad increased threefold during the 3-week intervention period. Given the magnitude of these effects, further exploration of the feasibility and efficacy of environmental interventions seems warranted. The present study examined the role of price on the purchase of low-fat snacks from vending machines. It was hypothesized that sales of low-fat snack foods would increase if prices were reduced relative to regular...

...officially stated in the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (Foote, Gaffney & Evans, 2010). Proponents point out that socially-responsible company will be more likely to be financially successful, while critics contend that CSR is contradictory to the most innate characteristic of business, which is to strive for profit. In fact, there are numerous approaches to CSR, but the term is generally defined as the sustained commitment to pursue business growth ethically while generating comprehensive improvement on the living standard of society (Holme & Watts, 2000). This paper is going to uncover the impact of CSR on business performance by examining its potential benefits on sustainability, revenue generation and feasibility for corporations in various scales. First of all, implementation of CSR tends to make the company more sustainable. According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, “CSR contributes to the long-term prosperity of companies and ultimately its survival” (Holme & Watts, 2000, p.3). For example, Toyota, being one of the world’s leading car producers, has committed to environmental responsibility in many areas. In particular, having anticipated the finite nature of fossil fuels and with the aim of “establishing low carbon society” (Toyoda, 2012, p.4), the company developed the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle, the Prius, in 1997. With such innovations, Toyota has generated a range of long-term benefits itself by opening...

Due to long hours of wearing footwear in performing daily activities and routine, many of them tend to acquire fungal foot diseases. These fungal diseases are caused by different types of fungi, including dermatophytes and yeasts which are common in the environment. Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health. In effect, the person who is affected of it might acquire smelly stinky feet which prompt them to find for some herbal and over-the-counter medicines (www.cdc.gov.com, August 17, 2015). Herbal medicines have been widely used within rural areas as a medicinal alternative to cure fungal infections and skin-causing diseases such as ringworm and athlete’s foot in the past. Nowadays, as technology innovates, new products have been released in the market as an alternative to herbal medicines for fungal infections such as foot powder. Foot powder is a solid substance in the form of fine tiny loose particles containing active agents for topical application in the treatment of fungal infections. This helps regulate the odor of the foot and aids in the healing process of the skin diseases such as athlete’s foot. In order to make the foot powder more effective, it must be made out of eight plants that the Department of Health affirms as scientifically proven to...
