Upcoming live webinar: Drug Desensitization

noreply@blogger.com (FIU Medical Library) — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 16:53:00 +0000

UPCOMING LIVE WEBINAR
Drug Desensitization:
Mechanisms and Pharmacological Candidates

Prof. Mariana C. Castells
Harvard Medical School, USA

Drug allergy and hypersensitivity are growing health care concerns, which encompass a new discipline that is being led by allergists and clinical immunologists.

In the last 25 years, there has been an explosion in the number of new targeted drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies and small molecules, that address personalized diseases. These drugs have been used for the growing population that’s in need of curative treatments for cancer and improved quality of life for chronic, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases. New symptoms and phenotypes have emerged with new therapies, and patient safety is compromised when they are re-exposed to first line treatments, which have induced a reaction.

Desensitization, a novel ground-breaking procedure that utilizes mast cell inhibitory mechanisms, is now available to safely provide first line therapies to patients with drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions.

Wednesday, November 15
5pm GMT (12pm EST)

About the Speaker

Mariana Castells, M.D., Ph.D. is a clinician-scientist with over 30 years of experience in allergy and immunology. She is a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School with over 200 publications and Director of the Brigham and Women’s Mastocytosis Center – one of the few nationally and internationally recognized centers of excellence, which provides diagnosis, management, and treatment options for patients with mastocytosis and mast cell activation disorders. These are rare and potentially deadly disorders which are currently addressed using Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors. Additionally, she is Director of the Drug Hypersensitivity and Desensitization Center at Brigham and Women’s and Dana Farber Cancer Institute, which for the last 20 years has provided over 900 high risk desensitization’s per year for patients with cancer, severe infections and inflammatory diseases, who are allergic to their first line therapy, thereby increasing their life expectancy and quality of life.

Webinar Sponsor:

Interlibrary Loan Service UBorrow Update

noreply@blogger.com (FIU Medical Library) — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 18:50:00 +0000

The FIU Libraries, along with all State University System (SUS) and Florida College System (FCS) libraries, are in the process of a system migration in order to bring our customers the best service available. As we go through this transition, patrons will experience some changes.

One of these changes is that the UBorrow function will no longer be available and the link will be removed from the library website. This will be effective as of May 1, 2021 and all UBorrow items currently on loan must be returned on or before April 30, 2021 in order to avoid late fees. Interlibrary loan service will remain in effect throughout the transition to obtain materials that are not available in the FIU Libraries.

UBorrow will be restored as Resource Sharing when the transition is complete. We appreciate your patience during this transition and invite you to contact us with any concerns you may have.
