Agilent Technologies Inc. today introduced the SureSelect Kinome Target Enrichment Kit, enabling researchers to focus next generation sequencing studies on expressed kinases (the kinome). Researchers increasingly are looking at human kinases as a rich, proven source of biomarkers as well as potential drug targets for cancers and other diseases.
It was December 1975. A relatively young organization called Help Hospitalized Veterans had been quietly delivering arts & crafts kits to VA and military hospitals for over four years and was about to reach a milestone – distribution of its 1,000,000th craft kit. Bob Hope, legendary actor, golfer and advocate for veterans presented the kit to Vietnam veteran Eugene Gardner.
Perrigo today announced that it has launched Naproxen Sodium Soft Gels. The product is the generic equivalent of Bayer HealthCare's Aleve® Liquid Gels, 220mg, an OTC analgesic. Aleve® Liquid Gels had sales of approximately $80 million, as measured by Information Resources, Inc. Perrigo believes it is the first to market a store brand version of this product.
Cancer death rates for African-Americans far exceed non-Hispanic Caucasians in the United States, and only community-driven approaches to reducing health disparities will lessen the gap, says Edward Partridge, M.D., president-elect of the American Cancer Society (ACS) National Board of Directors and director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The arteriovenous (AV) fistulae is considered long term vascular access for hemodialysis because it allows good blood flow, lasts a long time, and is less likely to get infected or cause blood clots than other types of access. Patients who don't have time to get a permanent vascular access before they start hemodialysis treatments may need to use a venous catheter as a temporary access.
