Abstract
Some HIV protease inhibitors (PIs), including full-dose ritonavir (800 mg) and ritonavir-boosted lopinavir, acutely induce insulin resistance in the absence of HIV infection and changes in body composition. Boosting dose ritonavir (100-200 mg) is the most commonly prescribed PI, yet...

Abstract
Oral Diseases (2010) 16, 586-591 High quality clinical research is necessary to improve oral health and translate research findings to the practice of dentistry. This has led many academic institutions to consider establishing a formal clinical research center. This is not a trivial undertaking and...

Abstract
We compared the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of GLU with those of insulin aspart (ASP).
Twelve healthy subjects, aged 18-65 years, participated in this randomized, double-blind, crossover trial. Subjects received 0.2 U/kg GLU or ASP under euglycaemic glucose-clamp conditions.
GLU showed a s...

Abstract
We should be skeptical, I argue, that the actions prescribed by the rules are ethically obligatory, and consequently we should focus our attention on how to craft the rules so as to promote the legitimate goals of human subjects research. Unfortunately, this cannot be done without evidence about the...

Abstract
We therefore need an account of fair distribution. Procedural accounts of fair bargaining have been popular solutions to this problem, but I argue that they are insufficient to protect against exploitation. I argue instead that a maximin principle of fair distribution provides a more compelling norm...

Abstract
Fifty years after Henrietta Lacks died of aggressive glandular cervical cancer, the first cell line - HeLa cell line - is the workhorse of laboratories everywhere. It helped to produce drugs for numerous diseases, including poliomyelitis, Parkinson's, leukemias. But they are so outrageously robust t...

Abstract
Individuals who have maladaptive patterns of drinking alcohol fall into the category of vulnerable research participants for many reasons, not the least of which includes the stigma often placed on individuals who abuse alcohol. Vulnerable subgroups within the population of people who abuse alcohol...

Abstract
When using 62% ethanol foams, the time required for dryness often exceeds the recommended 30 s. Therefore, only a small volume is likely to be applied in clinical practice. Small amounts, however, failed to meet the efficacy requirements of EN 1500 and were only somewhat more effective than water....

Abstract
We investigated the NK cell status in eight healthy volunteers after vaccination with YF 17DD virus. Shortly after vaccination, we observed increased expression of TLR-3 and TLR-9 in NK cells and markers such as CD69, HLA-DP-DQ-DR, CD38 and CD16. The up-regulation of CD69 was positively correlated w...

Abstract
Today's drug discovery and development paradigm is not working, and something needs to be done about it. There is good reason to believe that a move away from reliance on animal surrogates for human subjects in the Pharma Industry's R&D programmes could provide an important step forward. However, no...
