	British Approved Name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A British Approved Name (BAN) is the official non-proprietary or generic name given to a pharmaceutical substance, as defined in the British Pharmacopoeia (BP).
		The BAN is also the official name used in many countries across the world, especially those of the Commonwealth of Nations.
		While the British Pharmacopoeia and BANs are the official pharmacopoeia/names as defined by legislation in these countries, the former-BANs continue to be used, in contradiction to the legislation, purportedly because of the difficulty of changeover.

	International Nonproprietary Name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An International Nonproprietary Name (INN; also known as rINN, for recommended International Nonproprietary Name) is the official non-proprietary or generic name given to a pharmaceutical substance, as designated by the World Health Organization.
		A similar role is played in chemistry by IUPAC names, however these are less suited to common usage, being typically very long and unwieldy.
		WHO issues INN names in English, Latin, French, Russian, and Spanish; Arabic and Chinese versions, although not included in the original scheme, are now also being issued.

	Nomenclatural Glossary for Zoology - Thomson Scientific
		In zoological works genus-group names cited in binomial names of species are often abbreviated to one or two letters, which should always be followed by a full stop, and not used on the first mention of a name; similarly for specific names cited in trinomial names of subspecies.
		names of progeny of two individuals belonging to different taxa, names given to hybrids are not normally available (qv), as they are individuals, not populations, and hence not taxa.
		A nomen nudum is not an available name, and therefore the same name may be made available later for the same or a different concept; in such a case it would take authorship and date [Articles 50, 21] from that act of establishment, not from any earlier publication as a nomen nudum.

	British pharmacopoeia - BAN
		British Approved Names are devised or selected by the British Pharmacopoeia Commission and published by the Health Ministers on the recommendation of the Medicines Commission to provide a list of names of substances or articles referred to in section 100 of the Medicines Act 1968.
		British Approved Names are short, distinctive names selected in accordance with the Guiding Principles for substances, the systematic chemical or other scientific names of which are too complex for convenient general use.
		The issue of a British Approved Name does not imply that the substance or article will necessarily be included in the British Pharmacopoeia or other compendium or that the British Pharmacopoeia Commission is prepared to recommend the use of the substance or article in medicine.

		In the British Medical Journal for February 19 is an interesting discussion by Jeffrey K. Aronson of Oxford university concerning the proper nomenclature of adrenaline.
		The existence of alternative approved names in different countries is both unnecessary and confusing, writes Dr Aronson.
		The British Approved Name adrenaline is familiar to us in our own literature, and we become aware of epinephrine only in literature emanating from North America or Japan.

	What's in a name?
		Recognizing official British documents — and also the fact that the marines’ ranks were comprised of men from Ireland, Wales and Scotland, as well as England — decided to rename the unit "British Camp" just as it was known to the British Admiralty.
		The name change met with a mixed response from the island community.
		Many familiar with the history and the mixed nationalities of the marines were happy with the change to "British Camp;" while many more, used to calling the site "English Camp" (some for most of their lives), were considerably less enthused.

	UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1975 Issue 1 - 005
		The British experience is impressive in part because of the quality of statistics issued by the British Home Office and the Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS).
		Further, all British statistics depend upon reports of physicians and not upon the voluntary, and frequently suspect, reports of police statistical divisions as in U.S. federal statistics (BNDD, 1973).
		British addiction statistics apparently include most of the long-term, daily users of heroin and methadone since few addicts first come to attention by opiate overdose death or by arrest.

	generic drug. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The name of the active ingredient is established by a government or international body, and is typically the U.S. Adopted Name, British Approved Name, or International Nonproprietary Name.
		Generic drugs must contain the same active ingredients that their brand name counterparts do and are tested to assure that they are therapeutically equivalent, but they may contain different inactive ingredients from those found in the brand name medications.
		Because a generic competitor can hurt a brand name manufacturer’s profits, drug companies have used legal action and regulatory delays to slow the introduction of generics, or have paid generic manufacturers to postpone the production and marketing of generics.

	"Where name and image meet"---the argument for "adrenaline" -- Aronson 320 (7233): 506 -- BMJ
		The chemical name is an unambiguous description of a drug's structure, but it is cumbersome and irrelevant to practical prescribing.
		In most cases, the British approved name and other national names are the same as the recommended non-proprietary names, and
		name epinephrine to adrenaline (and norepinephrine to noradrenaline).

	Epinephrine - Dic.blogopt.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The basis for the name epinephrine in the United States was out of necessity because the name adrenalin was registered as a trademark by Parke, Davis and Co. In other countries where this trademark was not registered, the name adrenaline was adopted at the insistence of the British pharmacologist Henry Hallett Dale.
		The monograph name in the European Pharmacopoeia remains adrenaline, despite the adoption of INN names for all other agents, and European Union (EU) countries continue to use either adrenaline or dual-labelling of both names on products.
		This is because of the confusion that the name epinephrine would cause to patients in EU countries, and resistance to the perceived Americanisation.

	Structures Of Corporate Name Headings - Final Report - November 2000
		Their first purpose with regard to corporate headings will now be to facilitate international exchange of corporate names (even when they are not identical), whether this is from the perspective of joint input in one international authority file or from the perspective of multi-file searching across a range of (national) authority files in different countries.
		However, if a place name is an integral part of the corporate name as found in the publications, and if in the AF this place name is separated from the real name and converted into a GQ (e.g., according to FSCH rule 7.3), the resulting form was considered the shorter one.
		The authorised name form for a corporate body contributed by a second or third country, has been labelled as a second AF (AF 2, etc) as soon as there was any slight difference between the names as to their structure or form.

		Names for radicals and groups arise from the need to provide modified names for the salts or esters of substances already identified by an INN.
		In view of the complex composition of many radicals and groups, use of the chemical nomenclature is inconvenient and shorter nonproprietary names are thus selected.
		References to British Approved Name, Japanese Approved Name, and United States Approved Name are included for the radicals, groups, and adducts published or accepted for use by these national nomenclature committees, which collaborate closely with the INN programme.

	United States Approved Name - Psychology Central
		A United States Approved Name (USAN) is the official non-proprietary or generic name given to a pharmaceutical substance, as defined in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
		Some people in the United Kingdom, unhappy with the transition to International Nonproprietary Names (INNs), believe that the INNs were formulated with a heavy bias towards USANs over the former British Approved Names (BANs).
		Of main contention is the selection of epinephrine over adrenaline (BAN); however there are many other instances where the BAN was selected such as paracetamol over acetaminophen (USAN).

	Ezra Klein: The Health of Nations: England
		The basic issue is that, as Blair has admitted, the British health care system is severely underfunded, partially because Britain's got a low GDP per capita (though I don't think he admitted that part).
		By comparison, British women lose 2,947 and their men sacrifice 4,815 (go here to see how this is calculated).
		It's interesting that you negatively compared Kaiser Permanente to NHS, the British Medical Journal published a study a couple of years ago that pointed to Kaiser as the model for the future of NHS (I think Blair's Health Minister endorsed the study-- but I don't know what came of it).
