Clinical research

In this chapter, we primarily discuss about clinical trials and a few sources of publicly available clinical trial datasets that have been utilized for our experiments. 2.1 Clinical trials Clinical trials are conducted to add medical knowledge related to treatment diagnosis, preventing certain diseases or testing new drugs on human volunteers before releasing to the market. In clinical trials, participants receive specific interventions in the form of drugs, medical products, procedures or change

ntroduction Drug research is connected to a range of academic studies such as biology, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry and toxicology. Pharmaceutical researchers can design novel therapeutic drugs based on these studies above. The invention of new drug can be divided by function into two stages: drug discovery and drug development. Drug discovery is the process by which a new drug candidate is found and identified. Distinctively, bringing a new drug candidate to the market through clinical trials is called

I think I am easy going and try as much as I can to help others. I feel a friendly working environment is essential to a good clinical practice. In my opinion, team work and coordination are an integral part of a health care setting. I came to realize this when I was working as a clinical research assistant at University of Maryland. I also think that the ability to perform a detailed physical examination is very important to be a good physician. Several diseases

Research In Clinical Practise Introduction to Portfolio The research articles to be critiqued relate to the author’s area of practice; community nursing and in particular; the cost-effectiveness of community leg ulcer clinics. The author currently manages a leg ulcer clinic and an insight into the research underpinning their cost-effectiveness would be of benefit in her quest to deliver evidence-based practice in line with the principles underpinning clinical governance

Clinical Depression: Research and Treatment Methods One of the most common psychiatric disorders is known as clinical depression and affects anywhere between 3% and 13% of the population with some form of depressive symptoms affecting as much as 20% of the adult population at some point in their lives (Amenson & Lewinson, 1981; Kessler et al., 1994; Oliver & Simmons, 1985, as cited in Antonuccio, Danton, & DeNelsky, p. 574). The concept of ‘harmful dysfunction’ advanced by Horwitz and Wakefield

When pharmaceutical companies manipulate data, it means that they change the results from the research to their favor just in order to get their new drug approved by the FDA. There are several ways pharmaceutical companies manipulate data in order to yield favorable results. The company’s drug maybe compared with another drug administered at a dose

An examination of the conditions endured by research animals beforehand can also be attributed to a source of conclusion inaccuracy between animal experimentation successes and clinical research failures. Stress, commonly experienced by animal subjects in a lab setting, is a major factor known for contaminating the accuracy and reliability of biomedical research results. Stress causes a chain reaction of heightened readings, such as increased heart rates, pulses, muscular actions, and hormonal balances

The Assistant Director, the Real Estate Agent, the Owner and the Clinical Research Scientist. Four very different paths that all began in the same place. They started off as young, ambitious college students ready to take on the world. This is a glimpse into my family’s career tree. The Assistant Director graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and now oversees staffing of the classrooms and facilitates sets up appointments and meetings, manages on sight

Research Critique of New Graduates' Perceptions of Clinical Practice The article involved in this research critique focuses on the "stresses and challenges experienced by graduate nurses in clinical practice during their initial orientation period and examines the relationship of social support to these stresses" (Oermann, 1997). The critiquing of this article will address the purpose of the article, the design of the research, the presentation of the findings in the study and the significance

8. Prospective clinical research requires informed consent. Please explain the process and what information is required by the Office of Human Research Protection to be included in the consent form (10 points). The informed consent is a process can be summarized within three main elements which include information, voluntarily and understanding/comprehension. First, the researcher has to disclosure of information in informed consent to make sure the participants have sufficient information about
