In #ISOQOL-s most recent #QualityTALK, a team argues that while such a modular approach has advantages, it complicates the decision of choosing a PROM. The selection should take account of the overall trial objectives and context (e.g., see #ISOQOL, #SPIRITPRO, #SISAQOL) and involve all relevant stakeholders.

The bill will become law once it is signed by the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, having passed all the legislative stages. It is the first bill of its kind and once enacted, it marks the first time a US state has banned food additives that are permitted by the #FDA.
Proponents of the legislation hope other US states will follow suit by implementing similar bans, prompting a nationwide transition to safer alternatives.
“I will not stand by & let the #FDA & #CDC use healthy Floridians as guinea pigs for new #booster shots that have not been proven to be safe or effective,” said the “governor” in a written statement released after his “surgeon general” urged people under 65 not to get the booster. #DeSantis reiterated that position the next day on the talk show of Iowa-based commentator Steve Deace, saying fed #health authorities have been “corrupted by ideology.”

💊 O FDA norte-americano concluiu que a fenilefrina é tão boa quanto um placebo para descongestão nasal quando uma pessoa está com gripe ou resfriado. Ou seja, não serve pra isso quando usada por via oral.
Desde os anos 2000 esse fármaco é usado nos EUA em remédios para gripe e representa uma indústria de US$ 1,8 bilhão por ano.
No Brasil, medicamentos como Cimegripe, Neolefrin e MultiGripe usam cloridrato de fenilefrina.
A Anvisa ainda não se pronunciou sobre o caso para produtos vendidos aqui.

The new #COVID shots are expected to take aim at circulating strains, including the EG.5, or Eris, strain, which the #CDC said accounted for 21.5% of cases as of Sept. 2, as well as a newer variant, FL.1.5.1, dubbed Fornax, which accounted for 14.5% of U.S. infections.
The #FDA approved #mRNA shots from #Pfizer and #Moderna on Monday, and it's still reviewing a shot from Novavax that uses more traditional protein-based technology.

Make it make sense. On one hand, when it comes to medications that chemically induce early term #abortions, we are not supposed to take them because the #FDA didn't test them enough. But on the other hand, we have this. We cannot bar doctors for prescribing #ivermectin for COVID because it was never tested on that virus at all.
