The prescriber and the patient should agree on the health outcomes that the patient desires and on the strategy for achieving them `concordance' ; . Taking the time to explain to the patient and relatives ; the rationale and the potential adverse effects of treatment may improve compliance. Advising the patient of the possibility of alternative treatments may encourage the patient to seek advice rather than merely abandon unacceptable treatment. Simplifying the drug regimen may help; the need for frequent administration may reduce compliance although there appears to be little difference in compliance between once-daily and twice-daily administration. Combination products reduce the number of drugs taken but this may be at the expense of the ability to titrate individual doses.

Twenty-three women of postmenopausal status as determined by the absence of menses for at least 12 months or a hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy were recruited from outpatient clinics at the University of Michigan Medical Center between 1995 and 1996. Subjects were eligible for participation if they had not been on hormone replacement therapy within the previous 6 months and had a nonsuspicious Pap smear and mammography within the past year. Exclusion criteria were current smoking, history of diabetes mellitus, abnormal hepatic or renal function, an acute medical condition within the previous 3 months, fasting triglycerides 3.95 mmol L 350 mg dL ; on the initial screening laboratory test, or a contraindication to estrogen replacement therapy. All subjects were required to give informed consent, and the protocol was reviewed by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board and prednisolone.
Although the above measures may be helpful, they may not be completely achievable or successful in reducing allergy symptoms. Therefore, most patients will require medication to help control their allergic symptoms. You should take your medication as directed by your physician.

For example, the follow-on may provide enough information about its active moiety to rely on the innovator's data, but not enough to be blocked by the innovator's exclusivity. In fact, such a situation occurred with hyaluronidase. FDA considered each product to be a member of the same general class of hyaluronidase products, which allowed the products to rely on FDA's previous safety and effectiveness determinations regarding hyaluronidase. However, for exclusivity purposes, FDA treated each product as a new chemical entity. As such, each product received its own exclusivity and was not blocked by the other product. B. Three-Year Exclusivity The Hatch-Waxman Act also provides three years of market exclusivity to certain applications involving old chemical entities. Under the Act, three years of market exclusivity is awarded to an application for a product containing an active moiety that had been previously approved when the application contains new clinical studies that are essential to approval.52 Three-year exclusivity is typically awarded for new indications, new formulations, and other label changes the approval of which requires and is based on reports of new clinical investigations. During the three-year exclusivity period, FDA may not approve a generic application for the change or condition of approval that received exclusivity. Similar to five-year exclusivity, the application of three-year exclusivity to biological products raises unique and complicated issues. For example, a biologic with the same formulation as a previously approved product may perform differently due to manufacturing or other inherent differences. Would such a product, which contains a previously approved active moiety, be eligible for three-year exclusivity based on its different performance? Generally, if a new formulation requires additional clinical evidence to be approved, the additional exclusivity should be provided. Furthermore, would a biological product that is seemingly similar to another product that received three-year exclusivity be able to avoid the other product's exclusivity by performing differently e.g., clinically superior as with orphan drug exclusivity ; ? As noted earlier, the manufacturing process is extremely important to approvability of biological products. Although most manufacturing processes are kept confidential as trade secrets, would important manufacturing processes that are publicly available be eligible for exclusivity? Furthermore, as with five-year exclusivity, the application of three-year exclusivity to biologics may be difficult because it is not always possible to characterize the scope of the exclusivity. Would a hyaluronidase product described above ; that received three-year exclusivity for a new indication block another hyaluronidase product from receiving approval for the new indication? C. Patent Linkage As was the case in the Hatch-Waxman Act, it will be important to consider patent exclusivity, along with market exclusivity provided through the regulatory approval mechanism, as an integral part of the follow-on biologic approval framework. The Hatch-Waxman Act provides for the early resolution of patent issues when the generic application is filed and theo-dur.

Providers were not informed of the assessment results. In Maryland and Missouri, health risk assessment forms were developed by the state Medicaid agencies and administered as part of the initial enrollment process. Responses to health status questions either were given directly by families who mailed in their applications or obtained by enrollment brokers. In Utah, the plans themselves were required to conduct a health risk assessment within ten days of plan enrollment using their own forms, but only one of the two Utah plans we interviewed had actually implemented this requirement. Many breast cancer patients report benefits from their cancer diagnosis and treatment. Benefit finding is a patient's recognition of positive life changes attributed to cancer. The validity of benefit-finding measures in breast cancer populations is unclear. Moreover, some measures that investigators might choose to use were validated with other populations or studies of other circumstances [e.g., Perceived Benefits Scale PBS ; McMillen & Fisher, 1998; Posttraumatic Growth Inventory PTGI ; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996]. These measures neglect important benefits experienced specifically by breast cancer patients. The current study compared items of the PBS and PTGI to patient-generated thoughts regarding breast cancer. Sixty-nine women with regional breast cancer mean age 51 years, 91% Caucasian ; listed thoughts associated with changes occurring in their lives during the 24 months since diagnosis. They also rated each change in terms of its valence positive, neutral, negative ; and importance very important, important, somewhat important, not important ; . Three independent raters categorized the 2320 changes listed using the open-coding techniques of Strauss & Corbin 1998 ; , yielding 89% inter-rater agreement. Results suggest that 23 categories were required to capture the range of changes listed. Focusing on the benefits positive-valenced changes ; listed by patients, the most frequent and important categories of benefits were identified. Several of these, including health behavior changes and altruism, are not addressed by the PBS or PTGI, suggesting that these scales are inadequate for comprehensive assessments of benefit finding among breast cancer patients. Implications for developing content-valid measures of benefit finding in breast cancer patients are discussed. CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Abbey J.

In some, a woman died despite exemplary care but in others the fatal outcome might have been avoided. The `Maternal Mortality Reports' represent a sustained effort by professionals to learn lessons from sad case-histories which may otherwise go unreported or even unexamined. It is not an easy task for those personally involved in a maternal death to describe it to us detail and to comment on how they might have done better. Nor is it pleasant for the local and national assessors to imagine themselves at the scene and then to make a judgement on whether or not care was substandard. The large numbers of professionals involved in producing these Reports are driven by a desire to improve care. Fifty years ago, when this project began as a collaboration between the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists RCOG ; and the Ministry of Health as it then was ; , doctors knew that some women were dying unnecessarily. Today, the authors of this Report can still feel anger at the way the system continues to fail some vulnerable young women. As well as highlighting problems the Report also illuminates successes. Great improvements have taken place over the years in, for example, the safety of obstetric anaesthesia and the treatment of hypertensive disease. The present Report records a remarkably low death rate from obstetric haemorrhage and a dramatic fall in deaths from thromboembolism after caesarean section, following publication of RCOG guidelines. After a decade in which further reduction of maternal mortality seemed elusive, the latter breakthrough shows how improvements in practice can still be made and can still save lives. The scope of the Enquiries continues to broaden. The new and wider public health focus shows starkly what many of us have long suspected but never proved: that maternal mortality rates are higher among the most disadvantaged groups of our society. What we did not expect was to find a twenty-fold difference in the risk of death. This finding alone underpins our recommendations for changes in the delivery of antenatal care. Also, the number of women who had self-disclosed domestic violence points to another, hidden, issue of concern for maternal and child health. Indirect deaths now outnumber Direct deaths and this Report reveals, for the first time, a distressing number of suicides within the first year after childbirth. While it is essential to continue scrutinising the well-known Direct causes of maternal death, it is also important to take a fresh look at emerging problems. Only such an observational study as this can do this. In the UK, as in other developed countries, maternal mortality rates are low. Globally, however, over 600, 000 women die each year of pregnancy-related causes. The authors of this Report frequently discuss its findings with colleagues from other countries and we are repeatedly reminded that these Maternal Mortality Reports have an importance well beyond the UK. For nearly five decades these Reports have underpinned obstetric practice in the UK. In this Report we make far-reaching recommendations for the provision of sensitive, flexible antenatal care which should not only help reduce the maternal mortality rate but also improve the quality of care for pregnant and recently.
