Viruses Removed by Nano-Paper Filter

Virus particles are very peculiar objects - tiny (about thousand times thinner than a human hair) yet mighty. Viruses can only replicate in living cells but once the cells become infected the viruses can turn out to be extremely pathogenic. Viruses can actively cause diseases on their own or even transform healthy cells to malignant tumors. 

Uppsala University, Nanotechnology and Functional Materials, have come up with a paper filter that can remove virus particles as effectively as the best industrial virus filters. The paper filter consists of 100 percent high purity cellulose nano-fibers, directly derived from nature. These nano-cellulose materials have a high surface area, which eventually enable the scientists to tailor the pore size distribution of their  paper precisely in the range desirable for virus filtration. 

Novartis announces US FDA approval of Xolair® for chronic idiopathic urticaria

Novartis announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Xolair® (omalizumab) for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU), an unpredictable and debilitating skin disease that is known as chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) outside of the US. In the US, Xolair is indicated for CIU in adults and adolescents (12 years of age and above) who remain symptomatic despite H1-antihistamine treatment.

Mood-stabilizing drug could reduce risk of head and neck cancer

Valproic acid (VPA) is a medication used to treat epilepsy and manic-depressive illness, such as bipolar disorder.

However, the medication is able to block histone acetyl transferases (HATs) - enzymes that control gene expression by altering DNA structure. This is a process that occurs in the early stages of many cancers, including lung, bladder, prostate, and head and neck cancers.

Therefore, Valproic acid (VPA) has the potential to be used as an anticancer agent.

Sujatha and Vamsi Krishna of ACRI, presented on the new technical topic of “Pharmacovigilance System Master File(PSMF)’’.This was a very good presentation explaining even the minutest detail.

Reshmi and Prasanthi of ACRI, gave an excellent presentation on the technical topic of “Additional Monitoring”. This was the most applauded Presentation so far.
