The latter position, which maintains the unity of intentionality with the natural sciences, is further divided into three standpoints: 1  Eliminative materialism, supported by W.V. Quine (1960) and Churchland (1981) 2  Realism, advocated by Jerry Fodor (1975), as well as Burge, Dretske, Kripke, and the early Hilary Putnam.
What is pamidronate? Pamidronate is in a group of medicines called bisphosphonates (bis FOS fo nayts). It alters the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body. Pamidronate is used to treat high levels of calcium in the blood related to cancer (also called hypercalcemia of malignancy). Pamidronate is also used to treat Paget's disease of bone. Pamidronate is used to treat bone damage caused by certain types of cancer such as breast cancer or bone marrow cancer.
The first injectable form of bisphosphonate, pamidronate, was approved for the treatment of bone metastases in 1991, and the more potent zolendronic acid received approval 10 years later. 17 A third injectable agent, ibandronate, was approved for use in osteoporosis patients in 2006.31.he first description of exposed, nonhealing bone in the mouths of patients receiving intravenous (IV) bisphosphonate medication was in a 2002 textbook by Marx and Stern; 12 however, the relationship between bisphosphonate use and bone exposure was not fully appreciated at that time.
