Pharmaceutical Product Branding Strategies: Simulating Patient Flow and Portfolio Dynamics, Second Edition
By Corey Peck, Mark Paich, Jason J. Valant
Publisher: Informa HealthCare
Number Of Pages: 368
Publication Date: 2009-03-02
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1420087703
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781420087703
Product Description:
This updated Second Edition details how marketers, forecasters, and brand planners can achieve optimal success by building internally consistent simulation models to project future behavior of patients, physicians, and R&D processes. By introducing the reader to the complexities facing many pharmaceutical firms, specifically issues around cross-functional coordination and knowledge integration, this guide provides a framework for dynamic modeling of interest to several pharmaceutical markets, including epidemiology, market definitions, compliance/persistency, and revenue generation in the context of patient flows or movements.
Features in the text include:
Summary: Not just branding, but much more
Rating: 5
When I purchased this book, I thought it would be an adaptation of branding techniques to the pharmaceutical products. In fact, it was different than I thought. The book illustrates very clearly and logically the dynamics of the pharmaceutical marketplace from three different perspectives; the ultimate consumer; patient, Doctors adoption of new drugs and the treatment attractiveness of the drug. Walking through the details would open to the reader a whole different perspective about the factors influencing the market shares. It acts as an eye opener, and evaluator, for a variety of marketing strategy that is properly targeted toward increasing market shares. Well, it all comes through explaining how dynamic modeling could be used to forecast new drug performance. For me, as a Market Researcher and Consultant, it would certainly help in providing better insights to our clients.

Designing Randomised Trials in Health, Education and the Social Sciences: An Introduction
By David J. Torgerson, Carole J. Torgerson
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Number Of Pages: 256
Publication Date: 2008-04-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0230537359
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780230537354
Product Description:
Policy makers are increasingly demanding evidence from randomized trials. The book focuses on the design of rigorous trials rather than their statistical underpinnings or analyses. Consequently, statistical theory is absent and statistical methods are minimal. Few other texts go into such detailed description about randomization procedures and different trial designs within the same volume. The book has chapters on: pragmatic designs; placebo designs; preference approaches; unequal allocation; economics; analytical approaches; randomization methods.

Publication Date: 2009-06-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1603275924
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781603275927
Product Description:
The volumes included in "Antimicrobial Drug Resistance" represent the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary reference covering the area of antimicrobial drug resistance in bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites from basic science, clinical, and epidemiological perspectives. The first volume, "Antimicrobial Drug Resistance, Mechanisms of Drug Resistance", is dedicated to the biological basis of drug resistance and effective avenues for drug development. With the emergence of more drug-resistant strains, the approach to dealing with the drug resistance problem must include the research of different aspects of the mechanisms of bacterial resistance and the dissemination of resistance genes as well as research utilizing new genomic information. These approaches will permit the design of novel strategies to develop new antibiotics and preserve the effectiveness of currently available ones.

Product Description:
Molecules of biological interest for in-vivo and in-vitro research or diagnostics of metabolic functions and of neuro-transmission are very often labeled with iodine. Based on state-of-the-art research, this compendium describes the major production routes of the six most relevant iodine radio isotopes and the various methods of labeling molecules of biological, diagnostic or pharmaceutical interest with them.
The chapters describe the basic reaction mechanisms, and the influence of iodine introduction on physical/chemical and pharmacological properties. They also include examples of important reaction pathways for the preparation of radio-iodine compounds. The volume is completed by an expert system providing guidelines to obtain the most suitable method of synthesis regarding also cost and time aspects. Worked examples support the novices confronted with radio-iodination reactions.

The Elusive Magic Bullet: the Search for the Perfect Drug
By John Mann
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages: 209
Publication Date: 1999-04-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0198500939
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780198500933
Product Description:
In this captivating new book, John Mann reveals the history of drugs common today in the treatment of disease. The book presents the history of drug development, introducing some of the fascinating figures whose work influenced the search for these drugs. It also includes a discussion of the exciting advances being made within molecular biology today. The Elusive Magic Bullet offers a lively and fascinating glimpse of one of the most exciting fields of activity in modern medicine.
Amazon.com Review:
How does a drug know what to cure, and what to leave alone? In a book that complements his earlier Murder, Magic, and Medicine (1992), Mann tells the story of how drugs–from the earliest chemical preparations to today’s designer prodrugs and engineered viruses–have been developed to treat bacterial infections, viral infections, and cancer. Curing disease, Mann argues, would be relatively easy if it weren’t so necessary that the patient survive the treatment. Drugs that cure diseases but leave patients standing have come in leaps and bounds in recent years, but progress, while swift, can never be steady. Pathogens, for one thing, do not stand still; therefore, to take the obvious example, naive or lazy overuse of antibiotics accelerates the evolution of antibiotic-resistant strains. We are certainly no longer living in a society in which, in Bacon’s famous formulation, "you would call a physician, that is thought good for the cure of the disease you complain of but is unacquainted with your body … and so cure the disease and kill the patient." But neither have we quite mastered the art of making drugs that target and eradicate pathogens and malignancies with the niceness of a "magic bullet." Mann’s account achieves a nice balance of optimism and realism; it is more likely to inspire than to comfort. Today’s researchers are unlikely to come away contemplating early retirement, or, to give Mann’s enthusiasm its due, even wanting to. –Simon Ings, Amazon.co.uk
