The Kansas Medical Center University has recently established a new clinical research center. This clinical research center is expected to be one of the best centers of the country. It is handling at-least 25 to 30 Phase 1 cancer drug and treatment trials at once.

The Kansas City Star has mentioned in a report that the clinical Research Center started admitting patients last week and it is in the process of carrying out 10 Phase 1 trials.

These patients will be checked up by doctors and go through tests, as well as drug therapies. Raymond Perez, who is the medical director of the clinical research center, said that, "We'll pick up the pace of the activities here in by having a facility of getting people to think, have conversations and relax which is the first phase of our research." The purpose behind this is to find out how a drug is metabolized and whether it has any side effects.

These trials will be mostly related to cancer drugs. The other studies will involve diseases like Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, liver disease as well as other severe medical conditions. This Clinical Research Center has been donated by the Hall Family Foundation.

Stain resistant carpet is a great choice, such as among the range of Empire Flooring, because it can make the clean up of spills and messes quick and easy. Even hard to clean stains like red wine on your beige carpet can be cleaned up more easily if your carpet is designed to be stain-resistant. The time it takes to clean up other types of messes like mud, spilled food, pet stains, and more, can be cut down significantly by installing stain-resistant carpet.

While it's true that no carpet is 100% stain-resistant, there are many great options which allow you to remove most stains quickly and easily with no lasting damage to the carpet, such as Empire Today carpet. Most stain-resistant carpet is treated with a special chemical finish to repel dirt and liquids so they don't set into the carpet and cause a stain.

Stain-resistant carpet is made possible by advanced technology. Most stain-resistant carpeting is made from nylon fiber which is treated with a variety of stain-resistant coatings. The major carpet manufacturers use different types of coatings to make their carpets stain-resistant, and each has their own proprietary treatments and application methods.

These tend to fall into two basic categories, depending on the way the nylon fibers are treated. The carpet fibers are either infused with the stain-resistant chemicals before they go to the carpet mill or the chemicals are applied after the carpet has been weaved. The company that you purchase your stain-resistant carpet from should provide you with detailed instructions on proper cleaning methods for removing different types of stains. In many cases, clean up simply involves cleaning with water, or soap and water, as soon as possible.

Shares of the biotech firm NicOx have been pummeled after an EU panel rejects their anti-inflammatory treatment naproxcinod. The French company said it would drop its European application for the treatment after an expert panel gave it the thumb's down. This comes on the heels of a US FDA rejection as well, and caused shares of the company to drop 34% following the announcement.

The FDA had serious issues with the safety of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkiller, and said that the developer never made a successful case that the new therapy did not raise blood pressure. Hopes had been high that naproxcinod would succeed where Celebrex had failed, and become a blockbuster drug. However, the rejections have instead caused the company to cut its workforce by 50% and abandon its US HQ.
