Many of the world’s most important and life-saving devices and techniques were often discovered purely by accident. Serendipity, timing, and luck played a part in the discovery of unintentional cures and breakthroughs: A plastic shard in an RAF pilot’s eye leads to the use of plastic for contact lenses. The inability to remove a titanium chamber from rabbit’s bone leads to dental implants. Viagra was discovered by a group of chemists, working in the lab to find a new drug to alleviate the pain of angina pectoris. A stretch of five weeks of unusually warm weather in 1928 played a role in assisting Dr. Alexander Fleming in his analysis of bacterial growth and the discovery of penicillin. After studying the effects of the venom injected by the bite of a deadly pit viper snake, chemists developed a groundbreaking drug that works to control blood pressure. Accidental Medical Discoveries is an entertaining and enlightening look at the creation of 25 medical inventions that have changed the world – unintentionally. The book is presented in a lively and engaging way, and will appeal to a wide variety of readers, from history buffs to trivia fanatics to those in the medical profession.

Gupta Publisher : Anshan Rating : / ID book : 1-hsAAAAMAAJ Drug discovery and development is a challenging, expensive and time consuming field of research, requiring contributions from chemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, clinicians, and practitioners. The ultimate goal is to generate a safe and biologically active drug which can stall, or even reverse, the pathological events that cause the disease condition. But in the search for the drug a host of tests and trials must be applied to evaluate the efficiency and safety of the newly developed molecule in the biological system. These trials or |screening methods| are critical. On their basis, the new molecule either becomes accepted for usage, or is discarded forever. Advances in drug research have forced the need for quicker, more automated screening methods, using molecular techniques applied in vitro, in vivo and in clinical systems.
