Article Synopsis
- A group of medical experts worked together to create guidelines for using a medicine called bevacizumab to help patients with a disease called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP).
- They reviewed many studies and gathered opinions from doctors who treat both kids and adults with this condition to decide how best to use the medicine.
- Their findings include important information on which patients might benefit from this treatment, how to give the medicine, and when to stop or restart it, helping to change how RRP is treated.
Objectives: Pulmonary papillomatosis is a rare but severe manifestation of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). Efficacy data of systemic bevacizumab for pulmonary RRP are limited. This study's objective was to characterize disease response of pulmonary RRP to systemic bevacizumab.

Methods: Patients who provided health information and completed a quality of life questionnaire were identified from the RRPF-CoRDS patient registry.
Laboratory evaluation of oil spill bioremediation products in salt and freshwater systems.
J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol
May 2005
Ten oil spill bioremediation products were tested in the laboratory for their ability to enhance biodegradation of weathered Alaskan North Slope crude oil in both freshwater and saltwater media. The products included nutrients to stimulate inoculated microorganisms, nutrients plus an oil-degrading inoculum, nutrients plus compounds intended to stimulate oil-degrading activity, or other compounds intended to enhance microbial activity. The product tests were undertaken to evaluate significant modifications in the existing official United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocol used for qualifying commercial bioremediation agents for use in oil spills.
