Amgen's first product, Epogen was approved in June 1989 for use in the United States. Neupogen (filgrastim) Amgen's second product, received approval for use in February 1991, is used for preventing infections in cancer patients that receive chemotherapy for bone marrow and peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation patients and treatment for chronic neutropenia, which is a rare blood disorder. Amgen has research in the areas of hematopoiesis, neurobiology, inflammation/autoimmunity, and soft tissue repair and regeneration. Products from the research, in the four areas mentioned from above, may, sometime in the future, be used in treating conditions characterized by disorders of blood and bone marrow, neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or traumatic nerve injury.

Its uses are stimulating the body to make red blood cells, treatments of anemia (loss or reduction of red blood cells) associated with chronic renal failure or anemia caused by AZT (zidovudine) in HIV-infected persons. Before Epogen was produced or used, blood transfusions and male hormone therapy was used in treating anemia, which was caused by chronic renal failure.
Epogen Studies
Studies on Epogen are available from Amgen, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. One study by Amgen was "to establish the safety and efficacy of EPOGEN in pediatric patients" (Amgen 89), the second study from FDA, was about erythropoietin, which is
Heinrichs had previously worked as a journalist before becoming a full time writer and advocate for rhetoric. He utilizes illustrative examples to convey rhetorical concepts. Furthermore, chapter four reveals the most valuable logos and pathos tactic. Lastly, this book’s use should be continued in this course.
Harriet Ross Tubman was an African American who escaped slavery and then showed runaway slaves the way to freedom in the North for longer than a decade before the American Civil War. During the war she was as a scout, spy, and nurse for the United States Army. After that she kept working for rights for blacks and women.
The cryoprecipitate is used for patients who don’t have enough or are unable to produce sufficient fibrinogen and clotting factor VIII. The FFP and cryoprecipitate can both be used for patients who have had a liver transplants and trauma cases in which the patients has clotting problems. The other products such as the immunoglobulin are used for fighting diseases because of the antibodies in the plasma. The anti-D is used in pregnancies in case of an RhD incompatibility between the baby and the mother; this stops the mother creating antibodies against the baby. The albumin and the clotting factors are used for patients who have a deficiency of these proteins.
William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a tragedy in which the main characters are obsessed by the desire for power. Macbeth’s aspiration for power blinds him to the ethical implications of his dreadful acts. The more that Shakespeare’s Macbeth represses his murderous feelings, the more he is haunted by them. By analyzing his hallucinations it is possible to trace his deteriorating mental state and the trajectory of his ultimate fall. Throughout the play Macbeth is never satisfied with himself. He feels the need to keep committing crime in order to keep what he wants most: his kingship. The harder Macbeth tries to change his fate the more he tends to run into his fate. His ambition and struggle for power was Macbeth’s tragic flaw in the play. Macbeth’s rise to the throne was brought about by the same external forces that ensure his downfall.
At first the LTP was mainly financially driven. After the initial success of some of its products, Amgen’s LTP devote more attention to qualitative targets.
...omeone who is not thinking clearly can be. Pyle tries to help and risks the lives of other people instead of putting themselves first. Greene does not glorify being a bystander like Fowler either though. He shows us that someone has to act in order to save the day and save lives. He makes sure that the reader does not feel too sorry for Fowler when he is stuck in between Phuong and Pyle because he did not seem to try hard enough in his relationship with his wife or when he had Phuong attached to his hip. Inaction is as despicable a reaction to conflict as action. Greene makes it clear at the end of the novel that people just have to take care of themselves and what they need to do in order to survive in the world. Whatever they decide determines their futures and their relationships.
...efore, is to detect and determine phenolic acids in pig blood by examining levels in red blood cells, plasma, albumin, low density lipoprotein (LDL),and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). It is important to note that when a phenolic compound is present in body fluids, it generally occurs in one or several conjugated forms such as methyl, glucuronide and sulfate, (Proudfoot, Puddey, Beilin, Stocker, & Croft, 1997). There are several methods used to determine bioavailability of phenolic acids and possible metabolites in blood. Some of these methods include electron impact mass spectrometer (EI-MS), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometer (APCI-MS), electro-spray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-MS), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometer, (S Bertuglia, et al) as well as the more conventional HPLC after identification.
In medicine dialysis is primarily used to provide an artificial support for the lost kidney function in people with renal failure.
Throughout the 19th century slavery was prevalent in the United States. African Americans were treated harshly and unequally and struggled tremendously to achieve social and political equality. The North and South fought back and fourth about free and slave territories which eventually led to the civil war. Harriet Tubman was an African American woman born into slavery. She was an abolitionist,humanitarian and Union spy, who desperately believed that all slaves should be free. Tubman took extreme risks in trying to get slaves to safety through the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman’s contributions as the conductor of the Underground Railroad and her role in the Civil War had crucial influence in the emancipation of slaves. Her perseverance helped lead to social equality between Whites and African Americans and changed the history of the United States. Harriet Tubman was an American icon who’s bravery and heroic actions led to great impacts throughout America.

From the outskirt, “The Quiet American” presents the binary of bystanders versus active participants, and how everyone should be engaged in complex circumstances. Greene creates the invited reading that a person who is detached is simply denying their moral compass to choose a side, especially during a controversial situation. Greene does this through the character of Fowler, a cynical bystander who insists on his non-engagement throughout the novel by stating, ‘I wrote what I saw. I took no action – even an opinion is a kind of action.’ (pg28) However, the introduction of a young idealistic American called Pyle causes Fowler to rethink his ideologies regarding involvement and inaction. Pyle is regarded as naïve and innoce...
In Graham Greene's The Quiet American, the themes of naivety and innocence are in constant and direct conflict with the reality and crudeness of the Vietnam War. Sometimes Greene sees innocent people as helpless victims of the devastation others wreak, like the soldiers who are killed when Fowler and Pyle shelter in their tower. More often though, he regards innocence as a kind of pre-moral condition. There are frequent references to the ignorance of the innocent character of Alden Pyle. An extremely idealistic and naive American, Pyle represents the innocence of the inexperienced who are exposed too early in life to a situation as concrete as a war in the battlefield. The innocence of Pyle is displayed through his ruinous idealism that culminates in his murder, his work for General Thé, and Pyle's personification of America as an international powerhouse.
