   Dostarlimab, The Drug That 'Cured' Cancer During Trials.   As many as 18 rectal cancer patients were given the Dostarlimab drug in prescribed dosages every three weeks for six months.   A study has found that a drug named Dostarlimab has helped treat rectal cancer. This has been described as a "first time in history"kind of result in cancer treatment with the disease simply vanishing in patients after the experimental treatment. Here are 10 things to know about Dostarlimab, the drug that cured cancer during trial : 1. The clinical trial comprised a group of 18 patients. All of them were battling rectal cancer at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, US. 2. In all patients, rectal cancer was locally advanced. This means the tumours had spread within the rectum and in some cases, to the lymph nodes, but not to other organs. 3. The drug named Dostarlimab was administered to the patients for a period of six months. The medicine was given in prescrib...

New antibiotic in 30 years discovered in major breakthrough(Texiobactin) Introduction The first new antibiotic to be discovered in nearly 30 years has been hailed as a ‘paradigm shift’ in the fight against the growing resistance to drugs. teixobactin  has been discovered by scientists who claim it appears to be as good, or even better, than many existing drugs with the potential to work against a broad range of fatal infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis. Teixobactin has been found to treat many common bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, septicaemia and C. diff, and could be available within five years. But more importantly it could pave the way for a new generation of antibiotics because of the way it was discovered. Chemical Structure Scientists have always believed that the soil was teeming with new and potent antibiotics because bacteria have developed novel ways to fight off other microbes. Laboratory tests have shown the new antibiot...

phases of clinical research:- The  phases of clinical research  are the steps in which scientists do experiments with a  health intervention  in an attempt to find enough evidence for a process which would be useful as a  medical treatment . In the case of pharmaceutical study, the phases start with  drug design  and  drug discovery , go on to  animal testing , then start by testing in only a few  human subjects  and expand to test in many study participants if the trial seems safe and useful. Clinical trials involving new drugs are commonly classified into four phases. Clinical trials of drugs may not fit into a single phase. For example, some may blend from phase I to phase II or from phase II to phase III. Therefore, it may be easier to think of early phase studies and late phase studies. [1]  The drug-development process will normally proceed through all four phases over many years. If the drug successfully passes...

 Psoriasis -- the Basics What Is Psoriasis? Unpredictable and irritating, psoriasis is one of the most baffling and persistent of skin disorders. It's characterized by skin cells that multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. As underlying cells reach the skin's surface and die, their sheer volume causes raised, red plaques covered with white scales. Psoriasis typically occurs on the knees, elbows, and scalp, and it can also affect the torso, palms, and soles of the feet. The symptoms of psoriasis vary depending on the type you have. Some common symptoms for plaque psoriasis -- the most common variety of the condition -- include: Plaques of red skin, often covered with loose, silver-colored scales; these lesions may be itchy and painful, and they sometimes crack and bleed. In severe cases, the plaques of irritated skin will grow and merge into one another, covering large areas. Disorders of the fingernails and toenails, including discoloration and pitting of the nails;...
