WHO Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations : forty-second report
The Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations works towards clear, independent and practical standards and guidelines for medicines' quality assurance. Standards are developed by the Committee through worldwide consultation and an international consensus building process. The forty-second meeting adopted 11 new monographs for inclusion in The International Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Int.) and seven related new International Chemical Reference Standards (ICRS). The specifications currently developed are internationally applicable test methodologies for antimalarial, antituberculosis, antiretroviral and specifically also medicines for children. The main principles for selection of INNs for biologicals were endorsed. In order to serve the WHO-managed Prequalification Programme, two new procedures were adopted, namely on prequalification of intrauterine devices (IUDs) and of male latex condoms, together with a new guidance on the assessment of active pharmaceutical ingredients for use in medicines. The international guidelines, specifications and nomenclature developed under the aegis of the Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations serve all Member States, international organizations, United Nations agencies, regional and interregional harmonization efforts, and underpin important initiatives, including the prequalification of medicines, the Roll Back Malaria Programme, Stop TB, essential medicines and medicines for children. The advice and recommendations provided by this Expert Committee are intended to help national and regional authorities (in particular DRAs), procurement agencies, as well as major international bodies and institutions, such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and international organizations such as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to combat problems of
counterfeit and substandard medicines and to fill the gap for medicines used in the treatment of large populations, for which no international quality requirements are publicly available. WHO through this Expert Committee and with the help of many Member States' direct and indirect contributions, develops independent international standards through worldwide consultation and an international consensus building process. These are free for use and are developed by WHO with no commercial interest. Special efforts are made to keep their implementation costs low, but without compromising the quality, for example by reducing the number of physical reference standards needed for a Ph.Int. monograph to a minimum. These independent quality standards and guidelines will enable Member States and other parties to meet the challenges created by increasing globalization and to help ensure that all, including poor patient populations will receive quality medicines.

A death in Harlem : a novel
\"Renowned African American studies scholar Karla Holloway has been working on her first novel, \"A Death in Harlem,\" for some years, as she blazed bright, consequential, and broad trails as a professor, dean, and administrator at Duke University. In this Harlem Renaissance mystery, Weldon Haynie Thomas is Harlem's first \"colored\" policeman, blessed with insight, humor, resourcefulness, and a deep intuition. (While Haynie is a fictional creation, the first African American policeman in NYC, Samuel Battle, also served during this time period, between 1911-1941.) \"A Death in Harlem\" improvises and extends the plot of Nella Larsen's \"Passing\" by asking \"what happened after the fall?\" Officer Thomas investigates the light-enough-to-pass woman who jumped? fell? was pushed? from the Hotel Theresa during the Opportunity Magazine Awards Banquet. While A Death in Harlem is lively and conversational, it's also informed by a deep knowledge of African American culture and history -- which support pointed critiques of the relationships between Harlem's Sugar Hill colored folk, and the regular folk uptown, for instance. Impeccably researched and confidently written, \"A Death in Harlem\" is a life's work -- an especially fun, stylish, and edifying read\"--Provided by publisher.

The spectral city
Solving crime isn't only for the living. In turn-of-the century New York City, the police have an off-the-books spiritual go-to when it comes to solving puzzling corporeal crimes ... Her name is Eve Whitby, gifted medium and spearhead of The Ghost Precinct. When most women are traveling in a gilded society that promises only well-appointed marriage, the confident nineteen-year-old Eve navigates a social circle that carries a different kind of chill. Working with the diligent but skeptical Lieutenant Horowitz, as well as a group of fellow psychics and wayward ghosts, Eve holds her own against detractors and threats to solve New York's most disturbing crimes as only a medium of her ability can. But as accustomed as Eve is to ghastly crimes and all matters of the uncanny, even she is unsettled by her department's latest mystery. Her ghostly conduits are starting to disappear one by one as though snatched away by some evil force determined to upset the balance between two realms, and most important--destroy The Ghost Precinct forever. Now Eve must brave the darkness to find the vanished souls. She has no choice. It's her job to make sure no one is ever left for dead. -- Provided by publisher.
