  1. Benefits of Biomedical Research Contributions to Human and Animal Health

  2. Benefits of Biomedical Research Heart-lung machine developed in 1950 after years of animal research 600,000 cardiac bypass operations in US Qyr

  3. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Diabetes • 26 million Americans have Diabetes • 7 million unaware they have the disease • years of research=advances in treatment • new oral medications • new blood sugar monitoring devices • Insulin pumps • Research continues on transplant=pancreatic cells

  4. Benefits of Biomedical Research: CANCER • gene therapy=DNA so cells can produce therapeutic protein • Bone Marrow transplants=Introduced 1970 • Used to treat Leukemia • 40,000 Bone Marrow transplant each year

  5. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Vaccines • developed through biomed research • 1794 Smallpox Vaccine-Edward Jenner • 19th Century Cholera, Anthrax, Rabies Vaccine by Louis Pasteur • 1921 Diphtheria Vaccine • 1950’s Polio Vaccine research by Salk and Sabin • Sabin-administered orally=sugar cube

  6. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Vaccines cont. • Chicken pox Vaccine=Varicella 1995 • Hepatitis A and B=Hep B-1989 and Hep A=1995 and in 2001 combined A/B

  7. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Chemical/Pharmaceutical • Fluoride-many countries add to H2O to decrease tooth decay • Louis Pasteur=developed principles of antibiotics • Alexander Fleming discovered PCN • 1941 human trials on PCN • 1972 Cyclosporine=anti-rejection drug

  8. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Chem/Rx cont • Monoclonal Antibodies=protein secreted by B lymphocytes produce defense against infection • used in cancer research • used in AIDS research

  9. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Devices/Surgery • Pacemakers 1950’s • Angioplasty • Organ transplantation • 1967 1st Heart Transplant-now 2000/year • 1954 1st Kidney Transplant-now 16,000/yr • 1963 1st Liver Transplant-now 6000/yr • Corneal Transplant

  10. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Animal Health • Advancing Animal Health • artificial joints • pacemakers • Keeping Pets Healthy • Amino acid deficiency and heart failure in cats • Helping sick animals • new surgical techniques • cancer treatments

  11. Benefits of Biomedical Research • Protecting farm animals • Providing Vaccines • Parvovirus • Rabies • Distemper • A future for our wildlife • In Vitro fertilization to help endangered species

  12. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Polio Success Story • Poliomyelitis AKA Infantile Paralysis • attacks spinal cord, destroys nerve cells • 1952 peak year w/ 58,000 cases • Lungs affected=Iron Lung • 1955 Salk Vaccine introduced • 1961 Sabin Vaccine introduced w/ 97% reduction in new cases

  13. Benefits of Biomedical Research: Polio Success Story • 1988 WHO adopts global eradication of the disease by year 2000 • 2000 ACIP recommended D/C of oral polio vaccine and replaced by IPV • 2005 1st cases of Polio since vaccine D/C’d in 2000=Minnesota Amish community

  14. Benefits of Biomedical Research: AIDS • http://www.theaidsinstitute.org/education/aids-101/where-did-hiv-come-0
