Meaningful Life

Dear readers,

We have a wealth of information on the internet on how to live a meaningful life and mantras to obtain desired results.

Meaning of living a purposeful life is different for each individual. Each one's stake is different in life. In other words, we can say the purpose and intention of living a meaningful life are dependent on one's inner built and measure of happiness. For some it is about building purposeful connections; for some, it is about having wealth in life whereas for some it could be entirely different.

For me, the definition of living a meaningful life does not come without putting myself first on top of my priority list. I have to be able to carve time for myself, be able to take care of my needs, priorities and extend this definition next to my close family members and friends.

With that said, a good, healthy lifestyle has lately become a big focus of my agenda on a daily basis. Paying attention to what I eat, how much I eat, what I do to keep myself healthy in terms of the nutritious value of the food as well as exercise is on top of my list.

Additionally, keeping stress levels under control is considered to be very important. This could be as important as eating nutritious food.  Keeping stress under control is something that does not come easy and needs practice especially when everyone has so much to get done on a daily basis. Stress might cause chronic inflammation that could lead to an unhealthy life if stays unaddressed long-term.

I am starting this blog to learn and educate myself as well as share my learnings with anyone interested in the topic. I will focus on many different ways to manage and control stress. To practice certain things as routine to be able to at least reduce stress. It might be eating a certain type of foods, supplements or practice of mindfulness!

Amendments for High Risk Device Type Regulatory Pathway

BayBiotech.NET Government Accounting Office (“GAO”) has issued a long-awaited report evaluating the use of the 510(k) process by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA” or the “Agency”) in the January of 2009. Report mainly focused on Preamendment class III devices. Although most high-risk class III medical devices are subject to the demanding premarket approval (“PMA”) process, preamendment class III devices may be cleared through the 510(k) pathway until FDA issues regulations requiring a PMA. Under the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, FDA was required either to reclassify preamendment class III devices into class I or II, or (2) issue regulations requiring PMA approval for the devices, GAO noted that 20 preamendment class III device types have not yet been addressed by the Agency. GAO has urged FDA to take required steps to address the remaining class III devices that continue to be eligible for 510(k) review. As a result of the report, FDA has committed to address al...

Risk Based Clinical Monitoring

BayBiotech.NET FDA's recommendation of Risk Based Monitoring of Clinical Trials , as published in their Draft Guidance in August 2011. For the first time, FDA provided guidance on monitoring of clinical investigations in 1988 which was recently withdrawn, stated that the “most effective way” to monitor an investigation was to “maintain personal contact between the monitor and the investigator throughout the clinical investigation.” At the time the guidance was issued, sponsors had only limited ways to effect meaningful communication with investigators other than through on-site visits.   This guidance recommends an assessment by the sponsor for the need of 100% on-site monitoring. Such an assessment may be based on the complexity of the study protocol and not be generally applicable to all trial types. It explains the importance of remote monitoring facilitated by the use of electronic data capture system (EDC) and also emphasizes the need of the identifying crit...

eCTD Submission Specifications

BayBiotech.NET The electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) is an interface for the pharmaceutical industry to agency transfer of regulatory information. eCTD technical document format development was done by International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Multidisciplinary Group 2 Expert Working Group (ICH M2 EWG). Details on the specification for the ICH eCTD can be found in the guidance document M2 eCTD: Electronic Common Technical Document Specification. Currently, eCTD is the preferred format for electronic submissions by U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Although originally the CTD and the eCTD were designed for marketing applications, they could apply equally to other submission types, including INDs, master files, advertising material, and promotional labeling. In June 2008, FDA has issued guidelines for organizing the electronic regulatory document filing using the eCTD tools. This guidance discusses issues related to the electronic submission of applications for hum...
