    Pharmagen Case Summary

    In this situation I would argue that ASC 730-20 is applicable. Pharmagen is entering into an agreement with PEI (investors) on a contractual basis to provide services and an option to acquire the results of the R&D (FASB 68). Pharmagen retains all ownership rights to the development of X. It also states that in R&D arrangements the entity (in this case Pharmagen) usually has an option to either purchase the partnership’s interest (PEI) or to obtain the exclusive rights to the entire results in return for a lump sum payment or royalty payments to the partnership (in this case PEI). This clearly fits into Pharmagen’s case since PEI is entitled to receive future royalties from Pharmagen in return for contributions (funds) for the development of X.…

    Hillcrest Medical Case 3 H&P

    HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. Barua is a 42-year-old gentleman from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClain of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the recent onset of hypomtesis. He was treated for tuberculosis in Bangladesh 15 years ago. This has prompted the concern of whether his treatment for tuberculosis was adequate, or whether there is another cause for his hymoptesis. The duration of his tuberculosis treatment was apparently adequate, according to his wife. But, no records are available. In addition, the patient had a thrombosis of the axillary artery treated last year at Hillcrest. He had an embolectomy and has been on Coumadin since. INR is significantly elevated at 16. None the less, because of the cavitary lesions that are seen in the right and left upper lobes, the possibility of tuberculosis has been raised. Ancillary history was given by the patient’s wife Nupor, with the patient translating for her from the Hindi language.…

    House Bill 7095, relating to Prescription Drugs or more commonly known as the “Pill Mill Bill” was passed by the Florida Legislature on May 6, 2011, and signed by Governor Rick Scott on June 3, 2011. In essence, H.B. 7095 regulates all facets of the prescribing and dispensing of pain killers and controlled substances, from distributors all the way to pharmacists and doctors.

In addition to the penalties H.B. 7095 may issue it also provides other measures to combat the “pill mills” such as the required use of state-approved counterfeit-proof prescription pads, requiring to keep and make available the prescription history of prescribed patients, limiting the amount of controlled substances that can be distributed to pharmacies, and not allowing physicians to dispense controlled substances or pain killers except for emergency purposes.…

    Medication Errors Case Study

    A conversion factor is a numerical quantity used to multiple or divide when converting from one system of measurements to another. For example, when converting milligrams to grams, the milligrams is always divided by 1000 to get the final answer in grams. If someone had 35 milligrams of NaCl and wanted to know how much 35 milligrams of NaCl would be in grams, they would divide 35mg by 1000 to determine the number of grams. 35mg x 1g/1000mg= .035g. The mg would cancel leaving the final unit as grams. Conversion factors are especially critical when administering medicine to child, because children vary greatly in weight from an adult so children cannot accept the same dosage as an adult would. The less they weigh, the less dosage they can receive. If a child receive the dosage intended for an adult the child would experience an…

    Persuasive Essay On Opioids

    The current FDA protocol calls for pharmacies to be registered under the FDA and these pharmacies must get approval from the FDA to sell these drugs (Kindy and Sun 3). Even though the FDA approves the drugs, there is no way to monitor how many doctors are prescribing, In addition, the FDA was forced to change its rules because pharmacies were ordering drugs without the government’s consent (Tavernise 1). However, with the advancement of technology, patients should be required to undergo strict background checks, aimed at identifying those individuals who go from one doctor to another obtain additional prescription drugs. This will allow the FDA to identify drug abusers and assist them in finding the help they need to overcome addiction or dependency. With this drug monitoring program, doctors will be able to help reduce drugs abuses, saving the medical industry millions of dollars in medical costs associated with drug addicts and…
