A psychiatrist provides an insider account on the controversial use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
Prozac. Paxil. Zoloft. Turn on your television and you are likely to see a commercial for one of the many selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on the market. We hear a lot about them, but do we really understand how these drugs work and what risks are involved for anyone who uses them? Let Them Eat Prozac explores the history of SSRIs--from their early development to their latest marketing campaigns--and the controversies that surround them. Initially, they seemed like wonder drugs for those with mild to moderate depression. When Prozac was released in the late 1980s, David Healy was among the psychiatrists who prescribed it. But he soon observed that some of these patients became agitated and even attempted suicide. Could the new wonder drug actually be making patients worse? Healy draws on his own research and expertise to demonstrate the potential hazards associated with these drugs. He intersperses case histories with insider accounts of the research leading to the development and approval of SSRIs as a treatment for depression. Let Them Eat Prozac clearly demonstrates that the problems go much deeper than a side-effect of a particular drug. The pharmaceutical industry would like us to believe that SSRIs can safely treat depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental problems. But, as Let Them Eat Prozac reveals, this "cure" may be worse than the disease.

Описание: The internationalization of research and technology is one key component of the globalization of trade and business, with potentially major impacts on patterns of economic development and public policies worldwide. Although certain aspects of this internationalization trend are well documented, and some effects can be quantified, the overall processes are extremely complex and the outcomes are highly uncertain. The existence of the phenomenon is generally accepted, but its importance and the trends are currently the topic of a lively debate. This study on "New Ways in Drug Development in Pharmaceuticals" is part of a three year project which aims at investigating how new concepts of industrial knowledge creation are implemented in the different environ- ments of the innovation systems of the United States and Germany. The main focus of the overall project is a series of case studies of innovation practice in different national and sectoral contexts. The following sectors and technological fields are investigated: pharmaceuticals and new ways in drug development by the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI), advanced materials by the University Hohenheim, Insti- tute of International Management and Innovation (Alexander Gerybadze), financial services and home banking by the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology (MIT), Center for Industrial Performance (Richard Lester) and the Sloan School of Management (Edward Roberts). Financially the project was supported by the German-American Academic Council, the German Federal Minstry of Education, Science Research and Technology and the Fraunhofer Society.
Описание: Each year hundreds of new drugs are approved for the marketplace. The approval of a single new drug is the result of years of screening tens of thousands of compounds, performing pre-clinical research on their effects, and designing, implementing, and analyzing the results of clinical trials. This book provides a general guide to statistical methods used in the pharmaceutical industry, and is aimed at graduate students and researchers who want to know more about statistical applications in all phases of the drug development process. The 19 chapters authored by over 30 statisticians working in the industry follow the general sequence of drug development, from pre-clinical research and saftey assessment to dose finding, safety studies, large clinical trials, analysis of health economic data, and fianlly manufacturing and production. Special topics such as single patient analysis and the impact of patient compliance show the broad spectrum of applications of data analysis methods. Each chapter illustrates a practical problem using data from actual studies by describing the study, the data, the methods, and the results. All of the analyses are done with S-PLUS, and the data and code are provided both in appendices to the chapters and on the companion Springer-Verlag web site, making it possible to reproduce the results and extend the analyses. Prior knowledge of the software is not required to follow the analyses. Steven P. Millard is a statistical consultant and also Manager of Consulting Services for MathSoft, Inc. (Data Analysis Products Division.) He has applied statistical methods to projects ranging from quality control in bioassay to measuring water quality to automating home appraisal, and has taught courses in S-PLUS for over 10 years. He is the author of the book Environmental Statistics with S-PLUS (CRC Press) as well as the S-PLUS add-in module ENVIRONMENTALSTATS for S-PLUS. Andreas Krause is a statistical consultant in the pharmaceutical industry and works for Novartis Pharma AG. He has extensive experience in graphical and numerical data analysis as well as programming, has taught numerous classes with and on S-PLUS, and is an S_PLUS user from the early days on. He is also author of the book The Basics of S and S-PLUS (Springer).
