Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The drug development process in the United States has become so weighted down by a business-as-usual paradigm that an average of more than $2 billion is spent to secure FDA approval for every new drug. Because the investment required is so extreme, drug development companies are understandably focused on discovering and developing drugs designed for large patient populations: diseases experienced by millions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or some of the more common cancers. In Unnecessary Expense, Dr. Charles Theuer, CEO of TRACON Pharmaceuticals, outlines the problem and offers a solution: an aligned and streamlined model that emphasizes quality and reduces the time and cost of drug development, while also harnessing global innovation to benefit patients with rare diseases in urgent need of new treatments. Here Dr. Theuer shows the value of a pharmaceutical paradigm shift, to enable the development of drugs for patients who need them, at a fraction of the time and cost. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book explores complex factors that determine Olympic success, exploring why certain nations consistently dominate the medal tables while others struggle to secure even a single medal. Dr. Theuer, a physician and epidemiologist, applies statistical analyses to uncover the national characteristics that drive Olympic achievement, focusing on measurable factors such as national wealth and democratic governance. But the book also examines less quantifiable influences-genetics, the impact of immigration, and sports accessibility-providing a multifaceted view of athletic empowerment. In a sense, the book explores human empowerment viewed through the lens of Olympic success.Drawing inspiration from works like Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and Factfulness by Hans Rosling, Medal Count-The Fate of Nations at the Olympics uses mathematics and socioeconomics to answer the question: What accounts for Olympic success? While national wealth is the most significant contributor, the book reveals that there are deeper, more nuanced factors that nations can leverage to empower their athletes. Through detailed case studies, Dr. Theuer illustrates how Norway far outperforms expectations through maximal athletic empowerment, winning Olympic medals at rates 48 times higher than would be expected based on its population size. In contrast, countries with extreme poverty or rigid caste systems, such as most sub-Saharan African nations or India and Pakistan, face challenges in achieving Olympic success. Genetic diversity, spurred by immigration into wealthy countries, plays a role in boosting athletic performance, though it is a less tangible factor.The book also examines nations that excel in less capital-intensive sports, such as Jamaica's and Kenya's dominance in track and field, Fiji's success in rugby, and Kyrgyzstan's success in wrestling despite lacking vast wealth or large populations. Dr. Theuer proposes a model of athletic empowerment, showing that nations can apply lessons from Olympic success to foster not only greater sports achievement but broader societal progress. Ultimately, Medal Count-The Fate of Nations at the Olympics argues that athletic empowerment is a key form of human empowerment, with positive effects that ripple out into many aspects of society, leading to success beyond the sports arena.REVIEWS and WORDS OF PRAISE Dr. Theuer has made a stellar contribution that will remain in my heart, soul, and mind for a while. Unintentionally, he told my story without even knowing it. From the time I was 4 years old I wanted to become a professional world boxing champion and started my quest as an amateur boxer at the age of 8. I learned the words donation, per diem, subsistence, and stipend, as they represented access to essential resources that empowered my march to become Captain of the U.S. National Boxing Team, and set the stage for a professional career that culminated as IBF Junior Middleweight Champion of the world. Yes, as Dr. Theuer notes, talent is a terrible thing to waste. But it's also a heartbreaking reality that, more often than we recognize, talent reaches a stop sign because of insufficient support. Medal Count offers a framework for fostering global athletic empowerment, sure to resonate with everyone who values the triumphs of human achievement. ---Paul "The Ultimate" Vaden United States National Boxing Team Captain (1989 and 1990), Retired International Boxing Federation World Junior Middleweight Champion This book explores complex factors that determine Olympic success, exploring why certain nations consistently dominate the medal tables while others struggle to secure even a single medal.
