Transdermal (and related transmucosal)  drug delivery is a well-established accepted route of administration for therapeutically beneficial medicines. There is no potential limit for the therapeutic area for development of transdermal systems. Some therapeutic areas stand out, including sex hormones and pain management, due to the successful combination of the individual drug molecules and available product […]

Early toxicology testing is emerging as one of the mostsignificant areas of drug discovery. Toxicity is no longer something that can be left to the development stage, or just a small part of ADMET. Toxicity determinations are an integral part of all aspects of drug discovery & development. This report, Early Toxicology Markets and Approaches, […]

Mobile health has reached in vitro diagnostics and as this Kalorama report details, may change the industry forever.  Over the years, the introduction of transportable, portable, and handheld instruments has resulted in the migration of clinical lab testing from the central lab to a range of environments including self-testing, community clinics, the workplace, home, disaster […]

A nosocomial, or hospital-acquired, infection is a new infection that develops in a patient during hospitalization. It is usually defined as an infection that is identified at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours following admission, so infections incubating, but not clinically apparent, at admission are excluded. This type of infection is also known as a hospital-acquired […]

Epigenetics (“Epi”; “over “ or “above” genetics) is recognized as those systems that control the expression of DNA-coded genes, but do not reside in the base pair sequences of the DNA. Rather, these control mechanisms are based on factors or molecules that bind to specific regions of the DNA (the genome), affecting gene expression. The […]

What Will the Pharma Industry Look Like in 5 Years? There are an estimated 724 projects in development from the top 50 pharmaceutical companies.  Together, they have the potential to add billions in value to the current pharmaceutical market in the next five years. What types of drugs are companies developing and what will be […]

The report, The Worldwide Market for In Vitro Diagnostic Tests, is a testament to the Kalorama methodology. Real industry knowledge combined with an exhaustive review of the medical, business, and company literature. […]

Electrical and magnetic stimulation is the primary focus of this Kalorama Information market research report. Rather than attempting to define and classify all of the varying electrostimulatory methods, this report groups technologies into basic categories based on application and complexity. Two general segments are discussed with various sub-segments included: External ElectricalStimulation Devices: Bone Growth Simulation Transcutaneous […]

Today’s capabilities in clinical diagnostic radiology have been made possible by advances not only in diagnostic systems, but also by the contrast media and radiopharmaceuticals that make it possible to see, in great detail, the body’s internal structures, organs and tissue that would nototherwise be clearly seen. Although bones are readily apparent on radiographic images, […]

Advanced patient monitoring devices have wireless or remote monitoring features allowing them to share data outside the immediate patient care area continue to see sales growth. Features on these devices can range from basic remote tracking ability to “face-to-face” interaction between clinicians and patients, or even data sorting of the vast amount of data collected […]
