Medical cannabis has effectively relieved pain among a number of individuals suffering from chronic ailments. Medical science researchers have only now established the scientific effectiveness of this ancient cure. Several thousand ailing individuals have substituted non-threatening, nontoxic cannabis for disabling psychotropic drugs such as narcotics. A tremendous amount of anecdotal proof has surfaced: people with injured spines can now walk without crutches/walkers, those diagnosed with AIDS have put on weight and reduced medications, cancer patients have found relief from chemotherapy's horrible side-effect of nausea, formerly disabled individuals (disability resulting from debilitating addictions and psychological ailments) are now back in the society, and those suffering from… Continue Reading...
Bethroot is simply a bastardization of "birthroot," (Williams, 1820).
Nineteenth century medical science catalogued the herb judiciously, indicating its efficacy as an astringent and cathartic and used to stop hemorrhaging even unrelated to childbirth (Williams, 1820). Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, Williams (1820) also noted that Trillium causes fewer side effects than other astringent herbs, which can cause constipation. Moreover, Williams (1820) notes the use of Trillium for "arresting the progress of cutaneous eruptions," applying the herb in powder form topically (p. 332). Williams (1820) describes a case study in which the patient, "after using the powder a… Continue Reading...

However, the traditional study of ethics and the practices of medical science do not frequently collide and bioethics has yet to develop as a fully fledged academic or pragmatic endeavor.
Within the last ten years, the life sciences in China have been responding to the need to infuse ethics into practice.
There is some push in China toward creating official bioethics departments at the level of university and administration.
China has begun to protect its intellectual property rights on its biological science resources (such as tissue samples or embryos), which has also raised important ethical questions.
Standardization and codification is… Continue Reading...
a growing body of evidence that confirms the efficacy of the practice in contributing to advances in medical science while critics of animal testing counter that there are no such studies, average people may have problems formulating an informed opinion concerning animal testing. As noted above, most people would likely approve of some limited applications of animal testing that sacrificed a few lab rats to develop miraculous cures of humans, but the harsh reality of animal testing is that is also includes other types of animals, including primates. For instance, the Humane Society International reports that, “Many different species are used around the world, but the most… Continue Reading...
value of vaccines.
Discussion
To begin with, it is important to note that over time, developments in medicine and medical sciences have made it possible for serious illnesses to be prevented via the administration of the appropriate vaccines. It is for this reason that Guidolin and Meglei (104) term vaccines as some of “the greatest medical advances in history.” Vaccine-preventable diseases today include, but they are not limited to, whooping cough, mumps, and measles. It should, however, be noted that these diseases still pose a significant threat, and as a matter of fact, deaths continue to be reported every year from the said diseases. Towards this end, therefore, it… Continue Reading...
(IRB) in supporting individuals undertaking biomedical research. Similarly, in 1993, the “Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences” or CIOMS in cooperation with the “World Health Organization” WHO has given a several guidelines for biomedical research that makes use of human as subjects (Shahraz, 2002).
In’s scientific accomplishments go a long way back. Before the arrival of Islam, it had been a leader in astronomy and mathematics. Nevertheless, like most of Middle East, its scientific supremacy deteriorated when the Renaissance era started in Europe during the fourteenth century. In the next few centuries, Iran grew gradually and also was not able to grasp its full scientific… Continue Reading...
