Medical Research: conflicts between autonomy and beneficence/non maleficence, euthanasia, informed consent, confidentiality, criticisms of orthodox medical ethics
Cross over design, Placebo and blinding techniques Dinesh Gangoda
A crossover design is a modified randomized block design in which each block receives more than one treatment at different dosing periods.
A block can be a patient or a group of patients.
Patients in each block receive different sequences of treatments.
A crossover design is called a complete crossover design if each sequence contains all treatments under investigation.
A placebo is a dummy medicine containing no active substance.
This substance has no therapeutic effect, used as a control in testing new drugs.

Medical Research: History, values in medical ethics, autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, double effect, conflicts between autonomy.
Medical research has a long and varied history. It has evolved from rudimentary practices to sophisticated, evidence-based methodologies. Some key milestones include the development of the scientific method, the use of randomized controlled trials, the discovery of antibiotics, and the mapping of the human genome. Ethical concerns have also played a significant role in shaping the history of medical research, especially in response to various ethical violations, such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the Nuremberg Trials.
Resolving conflicts between these principles often requires careful consideration, ethical analysis, and, in some cases, consultation with ethics committees or boards. The specific course of action may vary based on the individual circumstances and ethical frameworks employed by healthcare professionals and researchers. Ethical guidelines and regulations also play a significant role in addressing and preventing these conflicts in medical research.

Traditional Medicine (TM) has been subject to substantial debate with regard to the ethics governing research in this area. The controversies have generally revolved around the unreasonable harvesting of medicinal plants, ethical accountability of researchers towards local knowledge holders and the credibility of TM as a complementary and alternative mode of treatment.
This presentation stresses the importance of understanding the 6 ethical principles governing publication in TM journals:-
1. Sustenance
2. Scientific validation
3. Informed consent
4. Reporting standards
5. Proprietary issues
6. Ethical policies and declarations
There are several dimensions in Pharmaceutical ethics -- Practice-, research- and community oriented. This presentation mainly deals with Clinical research oriented Ethics.
Ethical Considerations in Precision Medicine ResearchClinosolIndia
Precision medicine, characterized by the customization of medical treatments based on individual patient characteristics, has opened new avenues for targeted and effective healthcare interventions. However, the integration of genomics, big data analytics, and personalized treatments in precision medicine research brings about ethical considerations that must be carefully navigated. Balancing scientific innovation with ethical principles is crucial to ensuring the responsible development and application of precision medicine.
Efforts to place the patient at the center of medical research, spurred by the Affordable Care Act’s founding of the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, have begun to change the way clinical research is conceptualized and conducted. Such efforts hold great promise, but also raise potential challenges for ethical oversight. How should oversight bodies approach the presence of patients in potentially unfamiliar research roles, such as investigator? What forms of patient involvement in research, if any, warrant increased scrutiny from oversight bodies? How do we keep the patient voice from being ‘captured’ by special interest groups? This symposium brought together a diverse group of patients and community members, policymakers, bioethicists, and regulatory officials to address these and other issues.
Ethical aspects of clinical laboratory staff, Doctors, Pharmacists, Health information managers, Nurses, Physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals in their respective services.
Addressing Data Security and Privacy Concerns in Clinical ResearchClinosolIndia
Data security and privacy are paramount in clinical research, where sensitive and confidential information is collected, stored, and analyzed. Ensuring the protection of research participants' personal and health data is not only an ethical obligation but also a legal requirement. Data breaches or privacy violations can have serious consequences for both research subjects and the organizations involved.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Ethics committees
• An institution’s Research Ethics Committee (REC) aims to safeguard
the welfare, dignity, and safety of the participants, ensures that
ethically approved research is conducted in line with the approved
protocol.
• The committee play key roles in promoting ethical practices in
biomedical research and in identifying solutions to ensure that the
interests of researchers.
• Functions of ethics committee-
Prior review of human research proposals, scrutinizing the ethical
standards for research conduct in legal framework
Observations to the investigators, to modify the research proposal to
meet the required ethical standards.
Decision to approve or reject the research proposal.
Monitoring the conduct of approved research proposals ,ensuring
that their conduct continues to conform to the approved protocol
3

4. Resolution, or referral for resolution, of complaints in relation to the conduct of
approved research projects or the conduct of the ethical review of those projects
Premature termination and/or suspension of the con-duct of a research
proposal whenever it becomes evident that continuing conduct will expose
participants to greater levels of risk than those approved
Accountability and quality assurance by reporting to the relevant institution
about its performance
Applications to the RECs follow the official review of the proposal, and one of the
following decisions may be sought:
1. Accept without changes
2. Accept with suggested changes
3. Recommend submission to committee of another region
4. Revise and resubmit (with changes)
5. Reject (with reasons)

5. Truth telling-
• In context of healthcare, the duty of a health professional is to be
honest with their patients.
• The General Medical Council (GMC) documents Good Medical
Practice lists in its duties of a doctor, to be honest and open & act
with integrity.
• In studies of health care professional, one main reason for
withholding information from patient is that disclosure would cause
severe distress and this harm the patient.
18-03-2020
5
6. • Reasons for truth telling-
1. Autonomy-is an ethical principle that is widely recognized as
meaning self determination and self governance over ones action.
2. Physical benefit-T.T. about the patients diagnosis and prognosis
supports tolerance of treatment, tolerance of pain and better
outcome.
3. Psychological benefit- they become suspicious and this may result
in them becoming “socially isolated”.
4. Intrinsic good- Communicative conversations dictate that T.T. is a
universal expected rule.
18-03-2020
6
7. Reasons against truth telling-
1. Autonomy –if patient requests not to be told T.T can be forfeited.
2. Physical benefit-the presence or the true nature of medication was
denied because truthful disclosure will cause the patient to refuse to
take the drugs.
3. Psychological benefit-truth disclosure may cause distress,
depression, pain, anger and diminish hope.

8. Cultural concern of medical research-
• Cultural concern is the critical study and analysis of a society
in relation to their cultural habits.
• Culture is a system of societal rules and behavior.
• Cultural competence in research is the ability of researchers
and research staff to provide high quality research that takes
into account the culture and diversity of population when
developing.
• The goal of culturally competent healthcare services is to
provide the highest quality of care to every patients ,
regardless of race, ethnicity ,cultural background or literacy.

9. Importance of communication skills in
medical research
• Communication skill:-
• Communication skill is the art of sharing information,
knowledge and ideas from one person to another
effectively. It is very helpful in all fields of life such as in
business, personal life and while applying a job.
18-03-2020

10. • Communication skills: The most important skill in the
medicine.
1. To get the most out of the consultation for the patient
foremost and for the doctor.
2. To plan of the communication using of a framework
3. To adopt your style of consulting to meet the needs of the
patient.
4. To handle difficult situations.
5. To have “rescue” plans when thing go wrong
6. To use time efficiently in the consultation.
