effective global action on antibiotic resistance requires Careful Consideration of convening forums
Social Science Research Network, 2016Co-Authors: Zain Rizvi, Steven J HoffmanAbstract:There have been calls from academics and policymakers to take global collective action to address the growing health security threat of antibiotic resistance (ABR). One suggestion has been the use of international law – which formally represents the strongest possible mechanism through which states can commit to each other. While much of the literature has focused on what should be done to address ABR, less has focused on how or where such collective action should be facilitated. This article evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of different global political forums that may be used to develop an international legal agreement for ABR. Four forums that seem plausible for developing such an agreement: (1) self-organized venues (e.g. G7); (2) the World Health Organization (WHO); (3) the World Trade Organization (WTO); and (4) the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Each forum comes with its advantages and drawbacks which, taken with the complexity of the issue of ABR, suggests that an effective response may best be coordinated through multiple forums. This would allow for a multi-sectoral approach that creates a universal scheme and ensures strong national enforcement.

effective global action on antibiotic resistance requires Careful Consideration of convening forums
Journal of Law Medicine & Ethics, 2015Co-Authors: Zain Rizvi, Steven J HoffmanAbstract:Global collective action is needed to address the growing transnational threat of antibiotic resistance (ABR). Some commentators have recommended an international legal agreement as the most promising mechanism for coordinating such action. While much has been said about what must be done to address ABR, far less work has analyzed how or where such collective action should be facilitated - even though the success of any international agreement depends greatly on where it is negotiated and implemented. This article evaluates four different forums that states may use to develop an international legal agreement for antibiotic resistance: (1) a self-organized venue; (2) the World Health Organization; (3) the World Trade Organization; and (4) the United Nations General Assembly. The need for a multisectoral approach and the diverse institutional landscape suggest that an effective response may best be coordinated through linked action pursued through multiple forums.

Controversies in pediatric forensic pathology
Forensic Science Medicine and Pathology, 2005Co-Authors: Henry F. Krous, Roger W. ByardAbstract:Pediatric forensic pathology is an emerging medical subspecialty that spans the area between pediatric and forensic pathology. Advances in both of these fields have increased the sophistication of diagnoses, with overlap of disorders that might present to either the pediatric or forensic pathologist, adding further layers of complexity. Not surprisingly, therefore, there are important ethical and medical controversies in pediatric forensic pathology that merit Careful Consideration and attention.

update on the use of immunoglobulin in human disease a review of evidence
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2017Co-Authors: Elena E Perez, Jordan S Orange, Elham Hossny, Francisco A Bonilla, Javier Chinen, Yehia M Elgamal, Ivan K Chinn, Morna J Dorsey, Terry Harville, Bruce MazerAbstract:Human immunoglobulin preparations for intravenous or subcutaneous administration are the cornerstone of treatment in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases affecting the humoral immune system. Intravenous preparations have a number of important uses in the treatment of other diseases in humans as well, some for which acceptable treatment alternatives do not exist. We provide an update of the evidence-based guideline on immunoglobulin therapy, last published in 2006. Given the potential risks and inherent scarcity of human immunoglobulin, Careful Consideration of its indications and administration is warranted.

use of intravenous immunoglobulin in human disease a review of evidence by members of the primary immunodeficiency committee of the american academy of allergy asthma and immunology
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2006Co-Authors: Jordan S Orange, Elham Hossny, Catherine R Weiler, Mark Ballow, Melvin Berger, Francisco A Bonilla, Rebecca H Buckley, Javier Chinen, Yehia M Elgamal, Bruce MazerAbstract:Human immunoglobulin prepared for intravenous administration (IGIV) has a number of important uses in the treatment of disease. Some of these are in diseases for which acceptable treatment alternatives do not exist. In this review we have evaluated the evidence underlying a wide variety of IGIV uses and make specific recommendations on the basis of these data. Given the potential risks and inherent scarcity of IGIV, Careful Consideration of the indications for and administration of IGIV is warranted.
