Scientists found the drug was effective in two different strains of mice and three different strains of flu believe the drug could be effective in animals other than mice, including humans. Scientists in Canada developed a new drug that are effective against flu virus.People who die from the flu actually die from respiratory failure, when the lung's tiny blood vessels start leaking fluid into the lung's air sacs. Instead of targeting the virus that causes flu, the new drug can prevent the blood vessels from leaking fluid into the lung's air sacs.
The US FDA has granted approval to Cipla's Lopinavir, Ritonavir (LPV/r) 40mg/ 10 mg oral pellets for paediatric specific treatment of HIV in infants. Cipla was working for many years in collaboration with Diana Gibb, professor of epidemiology, senior programme leader and honorary consultant paediatrician at Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit at UCL (University College London) towards development of this novel child-friendly formulation which has been approved by US FDA under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) programme.

The Indian Council on Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), US, will soon begin collaborative research on ‘Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases & HIV/AIDS’. The joint research programme will also have thrust on HIV and AIDS-associated co-morbidities. Under this, the focus will be on utilsation of new/enhanced therapeutics for HIV-related co-morbidities such as HCV and their impact on disease outcomes; and enhanced targeted outreach strategies for HCV testing, prevention, and treatment/care engagement; integrated approaches for addressing the complex bio-behavioral factors associated with HCV/HIV. In this regard a joint Indo-US workshop is proposed to be held in September 2015 to encourage investigators for the Indo-US collaborative projects. Under translational research, the focus will be on studies to develop and test innovative HIV prevention strategies in young populations, particularly adolescents; and also on studies to better understand linkages between reproductive health options and HIV infection in men and women.
