Course Description: The Breast Cancer courses provide a description
of the methods used to detect and diagnose breast cancer, presents the
basic information you need to understand the origin and spread,
epidemiology, risk factors of breast cancer, prognosis and treatment
methods for breast cancer. It also reviews several different case
studies to which this information is applied. |

Description: Acid-related digestive disorders are a burden on
patients, physicians, and society because they are highly prevalent,
have varied signs and symptoms, and are costly. This three-course suite
covers the pathophysiology and epidemiology for acid-related diseases,
including gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, peptic ulcer
disease, and hypersecretory syndromes. |
|
| |
Description: Diabetes mellitus is characterized by two important
features: patients typically excrete excess amounts of urine, and the
urine contains abnormally high levels of glucose, due to glucose leakage
in the kidney. The Greek derivations of the words diabetes and mellitus
actually mean "siphon" and "honey," respectively, referring to the
hallmark traits of this disease. The courses in this suite discuss the
cause, diagnosis, and treatment of Type 2 diabetes. |
|
| |
Description: Rhinitis is the most prevalent nasal disease and is
characterized by nasal mucous membrane inflammation. It can be
infectious or noninfectious. Infectious rhinitis usually results from
viral infection, which may trigger a secondary bacterial infection.
There are three noninfectious rhinitis subtypes: seasonal allergic
rhinitis, perennial allergic rhinitis, and perennial nonallergic
rhinitis. This three-course suite discusses the causes of rhinitis as
well as how it is diagnosed and treated.

Description: A chronic, disabling condition, rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) can cause joint pain and deformity. Characterized by chronic
inflammation, experts believe that an autoimmune disorder causes RA. It
strikes during productive adult years, between the ages of 20 and 65,
with median onset at age 50. This three-course suite details the causes,
diagnoses, and prognoses for patients afflicted by rheumatoid arthritis.

| |
Description: Overactive bladder is a disorder where patients
experience urinary urgency and frequency, with or without urge
incontinence. Worldwide, more than 50 million people in developed
countries report overactive bladder (OAB). This three-course suite
explores why patients experience OAB, the diagnostic tools used in
assessment of the disorder, and the variety of treatment options. |
|
| |
Description: The sensation of pain results from adverse physical or
emotional experiences that cause actual or perceived tissue damage. The
most common pain sensation, nociceptive pain, results from physical
tissue damage, which is experienced through the nervous system. A second
type of pain, neuropathic pain, stems from a malfunction in the central
and/or peripheral nervous system. Because its source is internal,
neuropathic pain may lack an obvious origin. This three-course suite
explores the etiology, diagnosis, and prognosis of neuropathic pain. |

Description: There has been a rapid increase in the incidence of
lung cancer since the 1930s. The association between cigarette smoking
and lung cancer was first proposed in 1941, and has been substantiated
with epidemiological studies. Thus, as the numbers of cigarette-smoking
individuals in a given population rises and falls, so do the rates of
lung cancer. Lung cancer can be classified as either small cell lung
cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), based on the
characteristics of the disease and its response to treatment. The three
courses in this suite discuss the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of
non-small cell lung cancer. |

Description: This five-course suite presents basic scientific and
medical information about the cell cycle, oncology, and tumor growth.
The Cell Cycle course explains the cell cycle and its regulation. The
Apoptosis and Oncogenes course describes how the loss of cell cycle
regulation leads to uncontrolled growth of cells. The Metastasis and
Staging course describes the mechanism by which a cancer can spread
through the body, and explains how the TNM system is used to classify
and assess the stage of disease progression. The System Involvement
course explores the way various body systems interact, influence, or
become co-opted by cancerous cells. The Treatment course provides an
overview of the various treatment options available to oncologists and
patients. |

Three course units :
> Schizophrenia - Cause
> Schizophrenia - Diagnosis
> Schizophrenia - Treatment
Description: Psychotic disorders are very serious, debilitating diseases
characterized by the disintegration and disruption of adaptive behavior
and a loss of contact with reality. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric
illness that has been much more thoroughly researched than other
disorders. It involves a decline in functioning and hallucinations,
delusions, and/or disturbed thought processes with symptoms persisting
at least six months. This course outlines the epidemiology and etiology
of schizophrenia. |
|
| |
Three course units:
> Anxiety Disorder: Treatment
> Anxiety Disorder: Diagnosis
> Anxiety Disorder: Cause
CME Credits: 3 Credit (as suggested by the California Medical
Association)
Duration: 3 Hour
Description: Characterized by excessive and prolonged nervousness,
generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) can cause an individual to become
preoccupied with family, work, relationships or finance as to hinder
normal function. This course compares pharmacological and
non-pharmacological treatment approaches for patients with GAD. |

The Biotech Learning Institute (BLI) has constructed a
pharmaceutical regulatory and compliance catalog from its library or
learning objects constructed using GeneEd's Repurposing Engine ™ and
presented to the learner via the GeneEd Viewing Engine™ interface. The
catalog consists of the following courses, each 2-4 hours in duration
including progress checks, interactive exercises and a final assessment.
The courses may be taken "off the-shelf" from BLI’s hosted Learning
Management System (LMS), or may be customized to create a "customized
catalog" consisting of learning objects selected by the client. The
"off-the-shelf" courses include: ICH GCP level 1, ICH GCP level 2, Intro
to GxP, GMP, GLP, AE/SAE, 21CFRpart11 and MeDDRA. |
