OnDemand Webinar Now Available - Galectin-3 Treatment for Heart Failure
Dan Limbach
This webinar just became available as an OnDemand archive of the May 26, 2011 event.
Galectin-3: Enabling a New Pharmaceutical Paradigm in Treatment of Heart Failure
This session will provide a unique look at the role of the protein galectin-3 in pharmacological treatment of heart failure. Galectin-3 may transform heart failure from a signs and symptoms based definition of disease to one based on distinct disease processes. Galectin-3 segmentation may be relevant for efficacy of certain drug classes and galectin-3 inhibition may one day offer a new approach to disease modifying therapy in heart failure.
Complementary Webinar. Sponsored by BG Medicine.

Take Health Care off the Mainframe - a TED Talk
Dan Limbach
Intel is working on new ideas in health care.
Are there better ways to treat patients? Are we treating the illness rather than using technology to predict and prevent health issues before they become a bigger problem.
Are there better ways to treat patients? Are we treating the illness rather than using technology to predict and prevent health issues before they become a bigger problem.
At TEDMED, Eric Dishman makes a bold argument: The US health care system is like computing circa 1959, tethered to big, unwieldy central systems: hospitals, doctors, nursing homes. As our aging population booms, it's imperative, he says, to create personal, networked, home-based health care for all.

Share your Corporate Social Responsibility story with us
PharmaVOICE is reaching out to those who work in the life sciences field (to both drug manufacturers and service providers to the industry) to discover what sort of Corporate Social Responsibility policies and programs are in place. Robin Robinson
Let us know what efforts your company is making toward corporate social responsibility. Besides good will programs, the article will also address how CSR policies are created, monitored, and implemented. Beyond philanthropy, we will also focus on corporate strategy toward ethical and sustainable business practices in this article.
Here are four basic questions we are asking:
1. What was the driver behind implementing a corporate social responsibility policy?
2. Do you have a designated staff to implement the strategy and how do you make sure the message gets to all employees?
3. How do you inform the public that you are taking these steps to ensure ethical and sustainable business? Do you think it is important for the public to know?
4. What part of your CSR are you the most proud?
Thanks for your input and for reading PharmaVOICE.

Four Excellent Business Book Recommendations
Dan Limbach
In Jason's words...
IdeaSelling by Sam Harrison is an easy read and a nice set of ideas on how to communicate creative ideas and sell them through to clients, bosses and the like. It’s chock full of inspirational quotes and ideas that can jump start your brain. Worth a read.
Social Media Metrics by Jim Sterne is a must-read for those of you needing to focus at least some of your efforts on measurement. It does a great job of rolling through performance indicators in the social space and how to choose which ones are key to your marketing efforts.
Branding Yourself is by my buddies Kyle Lacy and Erik Deckers and takes the personal branding concept a few steps farther than other books by thinking through the off-line as well as on-line aspects. There’s a section devoted to public speaking and other non-Internet channels, even.
Finally, The Ultimate Online Customer Service Guide from Marsha Collier offers a great primer on using the web to facilitate customer service. If you’ve heard my social media strategies talks, that’s one of the six fundamental reasons your business is involved with social media. So this is an important book and one of the first to break that social media purpose down.
