June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Examples
Case Study
4. Clinical Research
There are 2 main types of clinical studies:
• Observational studies (cohort study, epidemiology)-
It improves the knowledge of the disease and its evolution
over time. It are carried out within the framework of the
follow-up of the patients in the reference centers. It also
contains the natural history studies.
• Interventional studies or clinical trials –
It provides scientific evidence of the efficacy and safety of a
new drug, a new care device or a new management in the
context of an illness. This is the necessary step for a new
molecule to become a drug or a new medical device to be
marketed.
5. Phases of Clinical Trials
• Phase 0- Human micro dosing studies (normally the doses
are 100 times less than the intended therapeutic doses)
PK and PD parameter are derived
No data on safety or efficacy
• Phase I – Human pharmacology trials.
Healthy volunteers
Size- 20 to 80
PK & PD
Maximum tolerated dose
6. Phase II – Therapeutic exploratory trials :-
Effective dose and dosing regimen
Size- 20-300
Divided into:-
Phase IIA :- To assess dosing requirements.
Phase IIB :- To study efficacy
• Phase III – Therapeutic confirmatory trials:-
Randomized, controlled, multi-centric trials.
Also called pivotal trials.
Effectiveness of drug in comparison with the current gold
standard treatment.
Size- 300-3000
7. Phase IV- Post marketing surveillance studies :-
More about the side effects and safety of the drug
What the long term risks and benefits are
To gather the information like use of drug in children
Pregnant women, elderly patients
Patient with renal failures.
8. Word Origin- Placebo
• The word "placebo" comes from the Latin and means "I shall
please."
9. Placebo effect :- A placebo is a substance with no known
medical effects, such as sterile water, saline solution, or a
sugar pill. A placebo is a fake treatment that in some cases can
produce a very real response
10. • Nocebo effect :- Nocebo effect is a term associated with the
placebo effect. It refers to negative effects that happen when
you're given a drug or other treatment that has been
ineffective, such as a pill with no active ingredients. If you're
given a placebo and experience side effects, that's the nocebo
effect in action.
12. • Placebos May Trigger Hormone Responses
• One possible explanation is that taking the placebo triggered a
release of endorphins. Endorphins have a structure similar to
morphine and other opiate painkillers and act as the brain's
own natural painkillers.
• Researchers have been able to demonstrate the placebo effect
in action using brain scans, showing that areas that contain
many opiate receptors were activated in both the placebo and
treatment groups. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that blocks
both natural endorphins and opioid drugs. Using naloxone,
placebo pain relief is reduced.
13. (A) Morphine causes pain relief by binding to opioid receptors in the brain.
(B) The reward pathways activated by placebos cause the release of
endorphins, which bind to opioid receptors. (C) Naloxone blocks opioid
receptors, preventing the binding of endorphins, thereby partially blocking
the placebo effect
14. Examples :- ( Placebo effect )
Cancer :- Cancer treatment side effects like fatigue
and nausea
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Depression
Parkinson's
Disease
15. Case Study
• Placebo power: Depressed people who respond to
fake drugs get the most help from real ones
• The findings published in JAMA Psychiatry and
made at the University of Michigan Medical School.
16. Natural painkillers respond
• Placebo power: When the researchers gave depressed people a placebo
and told them it might help their symptoms, they saw changes in brain
chemistry (left) in patients who responded to the placebo pill, in the
areas of the brain involved in emotional regulation. Those same brain
changes were also observed in patients who responded to a real
antidepressant (right).
17. Conclusion:-
• Placebos present a unique opportunity to harness the power of
the mind in controlling pain.
• The placebo effect can have a powerful influence on how
people feel, but it is important to remember that they are not a
cure for an underlying condition.
