Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.3K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

75
Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

100.8K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.4K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

  • Integrative medicine
  • Systems biology
  • Personalized healthcare

Background:

  • Precision medicine (PM) is a global focus, tailoring treatments to individual patient characteristics.
  • PM encompasses comprehensive medical methodologies, not just skill sets.
  • Current PM approaches often stem from Western medicine's analytical reductionism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of integrating traditional Chinese medicine (CM) into modern precision medicine.
  • To propose a holistic approach to PM by synthesizing Western and CM methodologies.
  • To advance the concept of PM towards its highest future attainment.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of Western and Chinese medicine methodologies.
  • Exploration of reductionism versus holism in describing body constitution.
  • Advocating for the integration of CM's holistic principles into the analytical framework of modern medicine.

Main Results:

  • Identified fundamental differences in describing body constitution between Western and CM systems.
  • Highlighted the scientific shift from analytical reductionism to holistic synthesis in complex systems.
  • Proposed that integrating CM's holistic body constitution is crucial for advancing PM.

Conclusions:

  • Precision medicine requires a comprehensive methodology beyond analytical skills.
  • The future of PM lies in integrating Western medicine and Chinese medicine.
  • A holistic body constitution framework, incorporating CM, represents the highest achievement of PM.
