What's the Latest Development? Harvard medical researcher Ted Kaptchuk is finding that how placebos are administered plays a very important role in their ability to cause physiological changes in the body. A trained acupuncturist, Kaptchuck has tested the treatment's ability to work as a placebo by offering his patients qualitatively different treatments. In other words, patients who receive more care and "schmaltz" from their medical professional tend to receive the greatest benefit from sham treatments. Kaptchuk wonders to what extend, if at all, Western medicine can take advantage of the placebo effect to improve treatment.
Compiled from a variety of sources by Evynn Blaher, C.D. Hylton High School, Woodbridge, VA. POSSIBLE RESEARCH TOPICS Your research paper, and the resulting thesis statement, must be an ARGUABLE issue.

Remember, research is objective and not a “soap box” for personal views. The following topics have been divided by subject: BIOETHICAL ISSUES Withholding the truth from dying patients Physician-assisted suicide Limits to confidentiality Involuntary commitment Organ donation Access to experimental drugs for dying patients CRIME AND CRIMINOLOGY Is criminal
Taiwo Question 1: Explain how sociological and lay ideas about illness differ from those of biomedicine. It is important to define the key words to fully underscore the difference between them as it relates to illness. By sociological and lay ideas, we mean application of theories, concepts and non-scientific explanation of illness. On the other hand, biomedicine is the scientific approach to diagnosing and healing illnesses and diseases. It has been referred to as the modern pathway to solving human physiological, biological, microbiological, and psychological problems through scientific examination, evaluation, and diagnosis using modern technology.

Decide how much authority or credibility the author or Institute of Medicine (IOM) has, as follows: (6 points) (a) List 2 pieces of information about either Clayton or the IOM that are relevant to their authority and credibility about vaccine risks. (You can list more if you like, but see (b).) (b) For each piece of information you listed, explain why that might help establish authority or credibility. Use your "Credibility Challenge" and "Critical Thinking" handouts.
Abstract Agitation is an often seen behavior in patients with various forms of dementia that can take a straining role on both the patients and their caregivers. Tradition pharmacological treatments are shown to be effective in the treatment of these behaviors but at the expense of many varying adverse side effects. Aromatherapy has successfully been used as a complimentary therapy in other diseases such as cancer. There has been multiple recent research studies performed that concluded aromatherapy is an effective and popular complimentary treatment for reducing behavioral agitation in dementia. Most of the research supports a need for further, larger research studies because of the effectiveness, relative low cost and ease of aromatherapy.
and was entitled “Radical Changes in Multiple Sclerosis Pathogenesis”. Here, they provided a comprehensive overview on the “(sub)cellular origin of ROS during neuro-inflammation as well as the detrimental effects of ROS in processing underlying MS lesion development and persistence” (141). In addition, they discussed clinical and experimental studies highlighting the therapeutic potential of antioxidant protection in the pathogenesis of MS. They told about how despite the promising results that were observed in the animal studies, the data was still limited (143). This article was one that I really found interesting.
