Clinical trials need more minorities

At her 33rd appearance as Subject 16019 in a clinical trial of an experimental drug she hoped would fix "this little problem with my memory," Sandra Brannon sank into a medical exam room 's recliner and waited. "What's the date again?" Sandra asked me. I had escorted her to a wing at Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan, where the NYU Langone Medical Center was among 210 institutions worldwide conducting the trial. As a family friend, I was standing in for Sandra's only child and chief caregiver, who had business elsewhere that morning. "November 18th," I answered. I'd responded to the same question from Sandra four times during our 27- minute subway ride to a stop a few blocks from Bellevue. "Right. Got it." Sandra scribbled my reply on her cheat sheet as a nurse bounded through the door to prep her for her monthly intravenous infusion of solanezumab, which Eli Lilly developed to target mild cognitive impairment caused ...

Houston’s Bullet Train Station Should Be in Downtown, Not Northwest Mall – Commentary

Image
Commentary by Ralph Bivins, Editor of Realty News Report . HOUSTON – (Commentary by Ralph Bivins) Houston is about to make a huge mistake with the development of its high-speed train to north Texas. The proposed Texas Central 200 mph rail line that will run from Houston to Dallas has a lot of good things about it. The train will be good for transit, good for the economy and it prepares Houston for the years ahead when the metro area’s population hits 10 million . It’s the train’s terminal location that’s a mistake. The memorandum of understanding, signed Thursday by Mayor Sylvester Turner and Tim Keith, president of Texas Central Partners , reveals that the train’s terminus station will probably be located at the old Northwest Mall property . The close-in mall site would probably be an excellent location for certain kinds of redevelopment, but it’s a questionable place for a transportation hub. If you haven’t shopped at Northwest Mall lately – and not many people have – it’s locate...

The priest who donates blood while here on holiday

Fr Mario Sant is urging more people to donate blood, an essential part of treatment. Photo: Chris Sant Fournier Donating an hour of your time would not cost much, except for a bag of platelets, but it went a long way to improve the life of cancer patients , a Conventual Franciscan said. Fr Mario Sant, 35, is one of two Conventual Franciscans who are based in London and who see to the spiritual needs of Maltese patients and their relatives during their stay there for treatment. When he is in Malta on a break, he helps out patients in another way: donating blood platelets , which are mainly used for cancer treatment. As Fr Sant was speaking to the Times of Malta , blood donors received an appeal from the National Blood Transfusion Service unit because blood supply is still low. READ: The man who has donated 100 bags of blood At the beginning of the month, the unit had issued an appeal because the 50 bags needed daily were not being collected and if the situation persisted, patients ...
