Towards the end of the military service, I had to make what I assume has been the most important decision in my career: to start a residency in clinical medicine, in surgery, which was my favorite choice, or to enroll into graduate school and start a career in scientific research. It was clear to me that I was heading for graduate school.

Carl von Rokitansky is one of the founders of scientific medicine and systematized it, looking at what the clinical symptoms mean. The medicine we practice today, which is infinitely more sophisticated, is Rokitansky's medicine.

The doctor I would want for myself or for anyone else I cared about would be one who understands that disease is more than just a clinical entity; it is an experience and a metaphor, with a message that must be listened to.

The dirty little secret of both clinical psychology and biological psychiatry is that they have completely given up on the notion of cure.

I think the biggest problem in clinical trials is that they are underpowered. And that fundamentally, the studies are just too small.

I have battled clinical depression and have come out of the other side. I've been free of it for many years now. Finding the place in my own mind and heart to win that battle without using medication, finding the place within myself where I could be alive again, that was one of the biggest challenges I've faced.

We are pleased to partner with a company with the extensive cardiovascular experience required to rapidly advance our technology through the clinical development and regulatory process, and manage the eventual manufacturing and commercialization.

We're going to have to have a more specialized and educated work force. And that will require reimbursement rates that relate more to clinical care than to components.

Unfortunately, less than five percent of people diagnosed with cancer will be treated through enrollment in a clinical trial. Our organization is very supportive of the Coalition and its efforts to accelerate research. We believe that in recent years patients have received better treatment options in trials, and if we can educate people about clinical trials I am confident that we can increase enrollment in these high-priority colon cancer trials.

With the large clinical trials, the bleeding problems have turned out to be relatively small, and certainly worth it for the patient,

We are committed to maintaining the trajectory toward a 2008 NDA filing for VX-950.

Many clinical priorities aren't recorded and some targets, like A&E and GP bookings, create more problems than they solve.

Shared personnel would be novel and exciting. It is a great benefit for students to learn from folks who still work in a clinical setting.

She had similar symptoms and the clinical course of her illness was the same. So it would be very probable that she died of H5N1, but right now we don't have the laboratory test to prove that.

Mobile technologies increasingly enable real-time collaboration and access to information across the healthcare system, allowing for more informed decisions in clinical and administrative scenarios. Whether used for checking case-management records, consulting with a colleague, or any number of other important daily activities, mobile solutions empower people to generate efficiencies and reduce costs in the healthcare setting, but most importantly contribute to higher-quality patient care.

Medicine must continually improve, and this depends on partnerships of clinical and basic science work. These summer projects let students see how this kind of work goes on both in the lab and the clinic and gives them a chance to see if this combination is right for them.

One of the things that made Epic strong when I wrote the original code was that it never occurred to me to do anything other than put the patient at the center. I developed a clinical system at a time when the health care world had pretty much only billing and lab systems available.

Pet owners need to watch for clinical signs of respiratory problems and see their veterinarians if they spot any of the usual signs of a virus, such as runny eyes and nose or cough. Common viruses other than the flu can cause these signs in dogs, cats and birds. Many can be managed successfully in adult pets with proper supportive care.

One of the biggest barriers research and academic institutions face is the ability to get discoveries made in the lab into clinical testing. The new Exploratory IND guidance emphasizes the flexibility available to researchers when conducting early clinical testing of these cutting-edge treatments. As we enter the era of personalized medicine, these exploratory approaches enable scientists to take full advantage of new technologies to target the development of more individualized therapies.

If this persists more than three or four weeks and it's causing significant dysfunction in a workplace or in relationships, then it really should be brought to clinical attention,

For too long nurses have been undervalued, restricted in what they could do, with too few career opportunities in clinical practice. For far too long, nurses have endured a pay system that has held them back - both professionally as well as financially.

Given the rigorous nature of the study designs and that both clinical trials confirmed the other's results, I think these findings should be reassuring for parents, children, and dental professionals.

If we make breaks we need to finish them off. We need to be clinical enough but also composed enough that if the opportunity's not there, then we have the patience to attack where they are weak again.

He'd had a couple of chances before that. He's normally a clinical finisher, but he's struck that one in.

There is a great amount of interest in bringing sublingual immunotherapy to the United States. Sublingual immunotherapy has been proven safe and effective in Europe. However, there are still questions regarding safety in high-risk groups, effective dosing and treatment schedules. Greer's clinical research and educational summits such as this will help answer many of those questions.

There is no clinical evidence that overthe-counter cough expectorants or suppressants actually relieve cough. There is considerable evidence that older type antihistamines help to reduce cough, so, unless there are contraindications to using these medicines, why not take something that has been proven to work?

We are extremely excited about the progress being made on the development of this potential life-saving therapy for Alpha-1. Individuals with Alpha-1 have great hope that AGTC 's clinical study will result in more efficacious treatment and improve the quality of life for those of us suffering from Alpha-1 related lung disease.

Historically, these esteemed institutions have been able to rely on their reputations. Now they understand that they must provide exceptional service, in addition to their clinical performance.

Hypertrophy is a fairly good laboratory model for certain forms of heart failure, and the PKA signaling pathway is perturbed in certain cases of heart disease. That's why this study may have a high translational and clinical impact.

It all started here at M. D. Anderson with the concept, vector development, preclinical trials and the first phase of testing. This agent has clinical benefit, and because of its novelty and lack of interest by major pharmaceutical companies, the only way to make it available to patients was to start a biotech company. But it has been a long road.

It could be two-and-a-half to three years before it's ready to market, assuming that we're successful in our clinical trials.

I think the National Institutes of Health should take responsibility for conducting this type of clinical trial, where controversy and potential harm to the population are at stake.

I think this is an issue that should not be politicized but has to be addressed with clinical objectivity.

I might have been just as happy to have been a practicing primary-care doctor. But as a medical student, I had interacted with patients suffering from neurodegeneration or acute clinical schizophrenia. It left an indelible mark on my memory.

The advantage of having our business systems integrated with our clinical systems is that the information travels untouched by human hands. Before Microsoft Dynamics, we manually posted transactions across six companies. Now we post to one company and that information flows through to the others. The information travels through, we get it out on the reporting side, and we know we can depend on that information to be accurate, which is critical.

The art of phlebotomy originated with bloodletting in 1400 B.C., and the modern clinical lab emerged in the 1960s - and it has not fundamentally evolved since then. You go in, sit down, they put a tourniquet on your arm, stick you with a needle, take these tubes and tubes of blood.

The 100 Top Hospital award winners continue to demonstrate significant distinctions in provision of value to their communities, as shown by objective differences in clinical outcomes, patient safety, efficient operations and financial stability. These top 100 hospitals react quicker to challenges than their peers, and they focus on all aspects of care, not just one.

Merck acted responsibly, from researching Vioxx prior to approval in studies with almost 10,000 patients, to monitoring the medicine while it was on the market, to voluntarily withdrawing the medicine when it did. We based our decisions on the data from well controlled clinical trials.

Who knows what the real situation is in cattle in the United States? And with people, we could be sitting on a time bomb, because the incubation period of this disease in humans can be up to 40 years. That's why a blood test is so important. We need to know the extent of the problem, we need to make sure that beef and the human blood supply are safe, and we need early diagnosis so that when scientists develop a therapy we can intervene before clinical symptoms appear--by then, it's too late.

We feel extremely fortunate to have recruited a CEO of Rick's caliber. His work at other health care organizations proves him to be a visionary with experience in clinical service-line growth, an effective leader and mentor and a person who works to build strong relationships with physicians, administrators and staff.

We are thrilled to work with Roche Diagnostics and to deliver this much-needed integration module for this important critical trial. By integrating our proven technology with Roche's innovative diabetes management products, we are enabling clinical trial sponsors to conduct more efficient research and advance their development of effective treatments for the millions of people living with diabetes today.

When you're dealing with people in a clinical practice, you're dealing with people oftentimes at their lowest moment, when they're in crisis, ... Oftentimes in the business environment, what you're dealing with is a person who is somewhat on autopilot. What you can do in a brief period of time is give them a fresh window to look at their life.

The problem wasn't with the city, the sport, my teammates or my coach, even though I blamed all of them at one time or another. The problem was with me. But I didn't realize it back then because I hadn't been told that there was a clinical reason -- social anxiety disorder -- for everything odd I was feeling, everything from the depression to the shyness. I didn't understand that some of the things that were holding me back were chemical.

We know of four Japanese biomedical companies right now that are using San Antonio clinical facilities for advanced testing, ... Those companies need to be persuaded not just to test here but ... to also locate new facilities here. That has to be a priority.

We don't have the clinical expertise. For us to push these beyond a certain point we have to have partners.

We are pleased that Henry has accepted our invitation to join the Board. His experience and expertise will be invaluable as we advance our carbohydrate-based therapeutic compounds through clinical trials.

The policy of the department is unchanged, and it is to support the preservation of life by appropriate clinical means and to do that in a humane manner.

The patients in our study who received the recommended doses of heparins or glycoprotein inhibitors alone or in combination had the lowest rates of bleeding. This suggests that the safety demonstrated in clinical trials may be attainable in community (hospital) setting with improved dosing accuracy.

We pride ourselves on clinical and home assessments and doing appropriate instruction in the home. That affects the clinical outcomes and the complaint rate.

We had some good sights at goal last night and would like think we could have put one of those away but it didn't happen. I firmly believe that we will create chances down there and we need to be clinical with them.
