- HIV/AIDS: Drug TherapyDr. Alexandra Levine, Chief of the Division of Hematology at the USC School of Medicine, talks about the drugs that have been used in the fight against HIV/AIDS since AZT was developed in 1987. She also explains that the high cost of the drugs makes them much less readily available in the developing nations of the world than in Western countries.
- PharmacologyModern medicine owes much of its success to drugs. How do these chemical molecules treat and cure aches and illnesses? This program explains that these substances are usually "copies" of natural substances produced by our own bodies. We witness the invention of a new drug by two researchers working at a major pharmaceutical laboratory—computer-assisted, of course. Finally, we are introduced to some promising new weapons against cancer, drugs designed to zero in on cancer cells and destroy them.

- Healthy KidneysErythropoietin is produced in response to hypoxia; unexplained anemia is an early sign of chronic renal disease. Chronic inflammatory disease causes elevated IL-1, inhibiting erythropoietin. Erythropoietic stimulating agents reduce the need for RBC transfusions; learn about hemoglobin target range and monitoring.
