It is a herculean task among the scientists to find a single cure for cancer . A research team from the University of East Anglia developed a new technique for cancer treatment. Cancer therapy that could cut off the blood supply to a tumor could be more effective along with the chemotherapeutic drugs. The research study revealed that tumor growth could be reduced by targeting the expression of Beta3-integrin along with microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) chemotherapy. Beta3-integrin was the better anti-angiogenic target since it was expressed in tumor blood vessels, unlike normal cells. Lead researcher Stephen Robinson said, “Tumours must recruit their own blood supply to grow beyond a very small size and this process is called angiogenesis ; A nti-angiogenic drugs stop tumors from growing their own blood vessels, and this, in turn, can slow the growth of cancer, or shrink it. Targeting angiogenesis is therefore seen as crucial in many anti-cancer strategies; however many anti-angio...

Determined to cap the profits of private hospitals in Delhi and the NCR region, Delhi health minister Satyendra Jain has announced an array of new rules. He clearly stated that hospitals will be mandated to sell essential medicines at MRP and can no longer charge a markup. It was found earlier by the National Pharmaceuticals Pricing Authority (NPPA), India’s  pharmaceutical drugs  pricing watchdog, that consumers are forced by private hospitals to buy from their in-house pharmacies where hospitals would then make exorbitant profits of around 1,700 % on drugs, diagnostics, and consumables. Prices for non-essential medicines have been capped at 50% above MRP. An analysis by the NPPA pointed to the fact that manufacturers and hospitals were being arm-wrestled into paying exorbitant prices. The findings further revealed that non-scheduled drugs and diagnostic services formed the major bulk of bills charged to patients. Instead of prescribing scheduled medicines, doc...

India-based Omega Healthcare has categorically stated that the growth of data analytics and cloud intelligence firms in the Indian healthcare sector has little scope. The company plans to hire around 1,200 - 1,500 people for exploring emerging markets like the United Arab Emirates. Indian healthcare providers have not picked up the pace in the empowering technology sectors at a time when retail, manufacturing, and banking industries have adapted to cloud-based systems and used data analytics for improving processes. Omega Healthcare has stated that the absence of a government mandate on health insurance is a major growth impediment for the sector even as the company has extended its data and revenue management services to Health Insurance Company, hospitals, and healthcare providers. A statement issued by the company points to the fact that though there has been a substantial improvement in healthcare delivery services in the country, there is a lack of effort in the tracking and...
