The term “research” refers to a class of activity designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. Generalizable knowledge consists of theories, principles, or relationships, or the accumulation of information on which they are based, that can be corroborated by accepted scientific methods of observation and inference. In the present context, “research” includes both medical and behavioral studies pertaining to human health. Usually “research” is modified by the adjective “biomedical” to indicate its relation to health.

Ethical Consideration in Research:
Objectives:
1. Define the terms related to ethics in research
2. Discuss historical events of ethical mischiefs and evolution of ethics as protecting human rights
3. Discuss the ethical principles, declaration of Helsinki and research code of ethics
4. Describe different types of informed consent, i.e. verbal, written, individual and institutional consent.
5. Produce a meaningful informed consent form.
6. Identify role and importance of ethical considerations in research.
Ethical Considerations in Research:
Ethical considerations in research are a set of principles that guide the research designs and practices.
Scientists and researchers must always adhere to a certain code of conduct when collecting data from people.
The goals of human research often include understanding real-life phenomena, studying effective treatments, investigating behaviors, and improving lives in other ways.
What you decide to research and how you conduct that research involve key ethical considerations.
Ethical considerations work to:
Protect the rights of research participants
Enhance research validity
Maintain scientific or academic integrity.
History of Research Ethics:
Nuremberg Code
Dec. 9, 1946, when an American military tribunal opened criminal proceedings against 23 leading German physicians and administrators for their willing participation in war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Among the charges were that German physicians conducted medical experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent. Most of the subjects of these experiments died or were permanently crippled as a result.
As a direct result of the trial, the Nuremberg Code was established in 1948, stating that “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential,” making it clear that subjects should give consent and that the benefits of research must outweigh the risks.
Although it did not carry the force of law, the Nuremberg Code was the first international document which advocated voluntary participation and informed consent.
Thalidomide
In the late 1950s, thalidomide was approved as a sedative in Europe; it was not approved in the United States by the FDA.
The drug was prescribed to control sleep and nausea throughout pregnancy, but it was soon found that taking this drug during pregnancy caused severe deformities in the fetus.
Many patients did not know they were taking a drug that was not approved for use by the FDA, nor did they give informed consent. Some 12,000 babies were born with severe deformities due to thalidomide.
U.S. Senate hearings followed and in 1962 the so-called “Kefauver Amendments” to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act were passed into law to ensure drug efficacy and greater drug safety.
For the first time, drug manufacturers were required to prove to the FDA the effectiveness of their products before marketing them.
Medical Ethics is what every physician and healthcare worker should know. We need to understand Ethics and its application in various cultures, societies and its changes according to norms and values. Once society will be given health education regarding Medical Ethics many issues can be resolved in a decent manner. It ultimately gives a very positive impression of all the actions which a healthcare worker performs otherwise at times seems inappropriate by society. This is not for the sake of healthcare worker or for the patients it is primarily for the whole community.
What are the rights of patient? role of ethical committee and parameters of a physician all need to be addressed properly.
• The goal of clinical research is to generate useful knowledge about human health and illness, and ways to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases.
• The goal is not benefit to the individuals who participate (although there is sometimes benefit).
• People are the means to developing useful knowledge; and are thus at risk of exploitation.

The term “euthanasia” is derived from Greek, literally meaning “good death”. Taken in its common usage however, euthanasia refers to the termination of a person’s life, to end their suffering, usually from an incurable or terminal condition. It is for this reason that euthanasia was also coined the name “mercy killing”.
Acts of euthanasia are further categorised as “voluntary”, “involuntary” and “non-voluntary.” Voluntary euthanasia refers to euthanasia performed at the request of the patient. Involuntary euthanasia is the term used to describe the situation where euthanasia is performed when the patient does not request it, with the intent of relieving their suffering – which, in effect, amounts to murder. Non-voluntary euthanasia relates to a situation where euthanasia is performed when the patient is incapable of consenting. The term that is relevant to the euthanasia debate is “active voluntary euthanasia”, which collectively refers to the deliberate act to end an incurable or terminally ill patient’s life, usually through the administration of lethal drugs at his or her request. The main difference between active voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide is that in assisted suicide and physician-assisted suicide, the patient performs the killing act. Assisted suicide is when a person intentionally assists a patient, at their request, to terminate his or her life. Physician-assisted suicide refers to a situation where a physician intentionally assists a patient, at their request, to end his or her life, for example, by the provision of information and drugs.
Children may be abused physically, sexually, emotionally and by omission or commission in any permutation under these headings. This is discussed in terms of the separate and overlapping responsibilities of parents, guardians, the community in which they live and the network of professional services developed to care for, protect and educate children. An attempt is made to place these issues within an ethical framework, with regard to the legislature of England and Wales. It is argued that professionals working within this field have an obligation either to keep up to date in respect of a large and growing body of research and practice knowledge or to consult 'experts' within the field when making complex and far-reaching decisions on behalf of abused children and their families. A representative, inevitably incomplete, bibliography is discussed and appended and there is brief reference to the role of expert witnesses concerning children involved in civil legal proceedings.
Organ donation is ethically and morally acceptance compared to organ harvesting which is non ethic.
donating an organs for saving a human life is ok, and acceptance but to donate your organs for economics is bad because you didn't have a grantee that your organs may save till you dying.

There are many ethical aspects which derive from the application of reproduction control in women's health. Women's health can be enhanced if women are given the opportunity to make their own reproduction choices about sex, contraception, abortion and application of reproductive technologies.
It is ethically unacceptable to refuse to treat HlV or take care of HlV, positive patients simply because they are HIV-positive.
The prevention, diagnosis, and management of sexually transmitted diseases impacts individual patients and families, as well as the population as a whole. Politics, schools, the media, and public health systems all influence policies about STDs. This month's issue explores some of the ethical issues surrounding STDs, such as confidentiality, stigma, and the exchange of information between physician and patient. Though some clinicians may be uncomfortable with this topic, STDs are not rare and can impact almost any age group or segment of the population.
The good doctors is who is good in relationship to his patients what ever the reason. but do not use your relationship to date a girl in as your her doctor unless you finish that relationship as a medical doctor.
There are a law and ethics that protects the patients and the doctor relationship to prevent the damage or suit for both of them.
As there is relation b/w the patient and doctor there is also a relation b/w doctor and another doctor and this is important both of them to take a care for patient.
Any misunderstanding of both doctors should try to solve it because we do not need to harm the patient.
Malpractice should not allowed in the field of medicine because your are dealing with humans life.
The malpractice is due to lack of doctors knowledge, uninteresting the sensitive cases, not using a guidelines.
The most type and common error in malpractice is the medication error and could put the patient's life risky.
Medical record is important why because you follow up the patients and will help you to guide and known the status the patient whether he or she improving or not.
There are several types of medical record: by using paper or documented book or by using electronic such as computers and so on.
If you are recording the patient information the patient will trust you and so happy because you still remember him or her information and this is good for you.
In this PPT you will learn what is autonomy whether is important or not and so on.
Every one of us should mentally capably for thinking and decision making and that's why we are humans, but there are people who are not mentally complete and their which or needs depend on others and it's really sad.
consent and confidentiality are important and are the reason why you are a good doctors.
The confidentiality brings you a new customers who trust you because you keep their information secrets and this type of confidentiality is part of Hippocrates Oaths.
Topics that are included in here:
1. Definition of ethics.
2. Types of ethics.
3. Ethics Vs Law.
4. The Hippocrates Oath.
it better to think as Consequentialism that it good for you and your job as a healthcare.
Have you ever heard the basic principles of Ethics and their importance let check today from this ppt.
Every patient customer should be informed that your clinic or hospital has what we call the quality assurance program.

Report Back from SGO 2024: What’s the Latest in Cervical Cancer?bkling
Are you curious about what’s new in cervical cancer research or unsure what the findings mean? Join Dr. Emily Ko, a gynecologic oncologist at Penn Medicine, to learn about the latest updates from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2024 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer. Dr. Ko will discuss what the research presented at the conference means for you and answer your questions about the new developments.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:

Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

2. IMPORTANCE OF MEDICAL
RESEARCH:
• Medicine is not an exact science in the way that
mathematics and physics are.
• It does have many general principles that are valid
most of the time.
• Every patient is different and what is an effective
treatment for 90% of the population may not work
for the other 10%.
• Function is the development of new treatments,
especially drugs, medical devices and surgical
techniques. Great progress has been made in this
area over the past 50 years and today there is more
medical research underway than ever before.
3. • There are still many unanswered questions about
the functioning of the human body, the causes of
diseases (both familiar and novel ones) and the
best ways to prevent or cure them.
• Medical research investigates a wide variety of
other factors in human health, including:
a) Patterns of disease (epidemiology).
b) The organization, funding and delivery of
healthcare (health systems research).
c) Social and cultural aspects of health (medical
sociology and anthropology).
d) Law (legal medicine).
e) Ethics (medical ethics).
4. RESEARCH IN MEDICAL
PRACTICE:
• All physicians make use of the results of medical
research in their clinical practice.
• To maintain their competence, physicians must keep up
with the current research in their area of practice
through:
1. Continuing Medical Education/ Continuing
Professional Development programs.
2. Medical journals.
3. Interaction with knowledgeable colleagues.
• Even if they do not engage in research themselves,
physicians must know how to interpret the results of
research and apply them to their patients.
5. • The most common method of research for
practicing physicians is the clinical trial.
• Before a new drug can be approved by government
mandated regulatory authorities, it must undergo
extensive testing for safety and efficacy.
• The process begins with laboratory studies
followed by testing on animals.
• If this proves promising, the four steps, or phases,
of clinical research, are next:
6.
7.
8. Phase one
• research, usually conducted on a relatively small
number of healthy volunteers, who are often paid
for their participation, is intended to determine
what dosage of the drug is required to
• produce a response in the human body,
• how the body processes the drug
• whether the drug produces toxic or harmful effects.
9. Phase two:
• research is conducted on a group of patients who
have the disease that the drug is intended to treat.
Its goals are to determine whether the drug has any
beneficial effect on the disease and has any
harmful side effects.
10. Phase three:
• research is the clinical trial, in which the drug is
administered to a large number of patients and
compared to another drug, if there is one for the
condition in question, and/or to a placebo. Where
possible, such trials are ‘double-blinded’, i.e.,
neither research subjects nor their physicians know
who is receiving which drug or placebo.
11. Phase four
• research takes place after the drug is licensed and
marketed. For the first few years, a new drug is
monitored for side effects that did not show up in
the earlier phases. Additionally, the pharmaceutical
company is usually interested in how well the drug
is being received by physicians who prescribe it and
patients who take it.
12. • There are potential problems that must be recognized
and avoided.
• In the first place, the physician’s role in the physician-
patient relationship is different from the researcher’s
role in the researcher-research subject relationship,
even if the physician and the researcher are the same
person.
• The physician’s primary responsibility is the health and
well-being of the patient, whereas the researcher’s
primary responsibility is the generation of knowledge,
which may or may not contribute to the research
subject’s health and wellbeing.
• Thus, there is a potential for conflict between the two
roles.
• When this occurs, the physician role must take
precedence over the researcher.
15. • The trials uncovered the German leadership that
supported the Nazi dictatorship. Of the 177
defendants, 24 were sentenced to death, 20 to
lifelong imprisonment, and 98 other prison
sentences. Twenty five defendants were found not
guilty.
16. Thalidomide tragedy
• Thalidomide sold under the brand name
CONTERGAN is a medication used to treat a
number of cancers, gravt versus host disease, and a
number of skin conditions including complication of
leprosy.
• Its was widely used drug in the late 1950s and early
1960s for the treatment of nausea in pregnant
women.
• This reatment resulted in severe birth defects in
thousands of children.
17.
18. ETHICAL REQUIREMENTS:
• The World Medical Association was established in
1947, the same year that the Nuremberg Code was
set forth.
• Conscious of the violations of medical ethics before
and during World War Two, the founders of the
WMA immediately took steps to ensure that
physicians would at least be aware of their ethical
obligations.
• In 1954, after several years of study, the WMA
adopted a set of Principles for Those in Research
and Experimentation.
19. • This document was revised over the next ten years
and eventually was adopted as the Declaration of
Helsinki (DoH) in 1964.
• It was further revised in 1975, 1983, 1989, 1996,
2000, 2008 and 2013.
• The DoH is a concise summary of research ethics.
• DoH: is a set of ethical principles regarding human
experimentation developed originally in 1964 for
the medical community by the World Medical
Association (WMA).
20. • Other, much more detailed, documents have been
produced in recent years on research ethics in general
• e.g., Council for International Organizations of Medical
Sciences, International Ethical Guidelines for
Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects,
1993, revised in 2002)
• Specific topics in research ethics (e.g., Nuffield Council
on Bioethics [UK], The Ethics of Research Related to
Healthcare in Developing Countries, 2002).
21. 10 Statements of Nuremberg
Code:
1. Voluntary consent is essential
2. The results of any experiment must be for the
greater good of society
3. Human experiments should be based on previous
animal experimentation
4. Experiments should be conducted by avoiding
physical/mental suffering and injury
5. No experiments should be conducted if it is
believed to cause death/disability
22. 6. The risks should never exceed the benefits
7. Adequate facilities should be used to protect
subjects
8. Experiments should be conducted only by
qualified scientists
9. Subjects should be able to end their participation
at any time
10. The scientist in charge must be prepared to
terminate the experiment when injury, disability,
or death is likely to occur
23. Ethics Review Committee
Approval:
• Every proposal for medical research on human
subjects must be reviewed and approved by an
independent ethics committee before it can
proceed.
24. Scientific Merit:
• Medical research involving human subjects must
be justifiable on scientific grounds.
Social Value:
• Social value has emerged as an important criterion
for judging whether a project should be funded.
25. Risks and Benefits
• If the risk is entirely unknown, then the researcher
should not proceed with the project until some
reliable data are available.
Informed Consent:
• The first principle of the Nuremberg
Code reads as follows: “The voluntary
consent of the human subject is
absolutely essential
27. Honest Reporting of
Results:
• There have been numerous recent accounts of
dishonest practices in the publication of research
results.
Whistle-blowing:
• Whistle-blowing is not always appreciated or
even acted on, and whistle-blowers are sometimes
punished or avoided for trying to expose wrong-
doing.
28. Unresolved Issues:
• Only 10% of global research funding is spent on
health problems that affect 90% of the world’s
population.
