"Faster, faster, faster".
Like other radiation countermeasures, the FDA has granted IND, fast-track and orphan drug statuses to CBLB502 as a radiation countermeasure.
Several methods are proposed to exploit the Doppler diversity gain inherent in fast time-varying fading [1-3], and they provide efficient countermeasures against fading.
We hypothesized that the muscle tendon complex of the knee extensors would acquire the intrinsic contractile properties of a faster muscle, which would be prevented by the current countermeasure design, conceivably due to the large number of contraction relaxation cycles during resistive vibration exercise (Blottner et al. 2006).
In the absence of the exercise countermeasure, the knee extensors exhibited characteristics of a faster muscle following 56 days of bed rest.
In conclusion, bed rest without exercise countermeasure resulted in intrinsic speed properties of a faster knee extensor group, which may have partly contributed to the preserved ability to perform fast voluntary contractions.
Naval Base Point Loma, at the southern end of Rosecrans Street in the La Playa area, is the home of Submarine Squadron 11, with several nuclear fast-attack submarines, and the Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command, including eight Avenger class mine countermeasures ships.
Most countermeasures at more advanced stages of development have received FDA fast-track status.
The aim of current and future countermeasures is to strengthen the fish robustness, which is the capability to combine fast growth and normal organ development with improved resistance to both disease and physiological challenges.
Ricin acts very fast and leaves a very short therapeutic window (effective timing of administration of therapeutic antibodies) for postexposure medical countermeasures.
