And therapeutic process

Within the next 5 to 10 years, it would probably be possible to make a new infective micro-organism which could differ in certain important respects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease.5...

The number of known cytokines, as well as the diversity of biological functions, have led to a very complex and often confusing picture of the immunologic and nonimmunologic processes involved. The role of cytokiaes in local or systemic homeostatic mechanisms related to physiological functions may be utilized therapeutically for treatment of cancer and a variety of other diseases (2). Pharmaceutical research and development efforts surrounding lL-1 are typical examples of the cytokine inhibition approach to chronic inflammation research (2). 

Care should be exercised when attempting to interpret in vivo pharmacological data in terms of specific chemical—biological interactions for a series of asymmetric compounds, particularly when this interaction is the only parameter considered in the analysis (10). It is important to recognize that the observed difference in activity between optical antipodes is not simply a result of the association of the compound with an enzyme or receptor target. Enantiomers differ in absorption rates across membranes, especially where active transport mechanisms are involved (11). They bind with different affinities to plasma proteins (12) and undergo alternative metaboHc and detoxification processes (13). This ultimately leads to one enantiomer being more available to produce a therapeutic effect. 

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is the acquired presence of darker macules and patches of skin occurring at sites of previous cutaneous inflammatory conditions. The processes preceding the altered skin color include mechanical injuries, allergic reactions, primary inflammatory skin disorders, and therapeutic interventions. 

The form and the process of regulation offer a whole range of possibilities, from hierarchy to the market, via various hybrid situations. The efficient regulator will be that which succeeds in developing an intervention that provides a better response to the characteristics of the transaction. For their part, lobbies are characterized by their nationality, size, reputation and experience. The empirical application considers a sample of active ingredients in three therapeutic groups for which the author identifies the regulatory forms adopted in each of the two countries.
