101. Employing new mathematical models and equations to evaluate risk-benefit criteria of clinical therapeutics

Abstract

Current preclinical and clinical evaluation of a drugs or therapy is at first to find out a maximum toxicity tolerance, which is overall fixed. The potential therapeutic dosage will be ranged just lower or within the periphery of these maximum tolerant data. A hidden acceptance among general researchers lies as the toxicity concentration of a drug is always the same and can be referred as a fixed data. However, practical therapeutics is not very strictly following this doctrine. Even using many strict well-formed mathematical models and toxicity evaluating systems, the disputes and lawsuits of some newly-developed drugs are increasing dramatically nowadays. In this work, a mathematical equation and a dynamic parameter t are generated to help improving this situation. This new mathematic model combines and integrates effective, toxicity and no effective data as a whole, which fits to evaluate the risk-benefits of therapeutics in dynamic and changeable states. We need no more to deduce therapeutic dosage from fixed tolerance data regardless different therapeutic modes of action and toxicity of drugs acting on different organs and physiological systems. We hypothesize and equation that risk-benefit ratios are varied with drug dosages. It is a new start to help the understanding of effects and toxicities of therapeutic same time in a single clinical practice and well compliment with previous mathematical models. Key words: Mathematical models, risk-benefit criteria, clinical therapeutics, INTROCUCTION Current preclinical and clinical evaluation of a drugs or therapy is at first to find out a maximum toxicity tolerance, which is overall fixed.

106. Is homeopathy a clinically valuable approach?

Author

Abstract

Homeopathy is a popular but implausible form of medicine. Contrary to many claims by homeopaths, there is no conclusive evidence that highly dilute homeopathic remedies are different from placebos. The benefits that many patients experience after homeopathic treatment are therefore most probably due to nonspecific treatment effects. Contrary to widespread belief, homeopathy is not entirely devoid of risk. Thus, the proven benefits of highly dilute homeopathic remedies, beyond the beneficial effects of placebos, do not outweigh the potential for harm that this approach can cause.

Abstract

Whenever I mention homeopathy to medical doctors, many ask for 'scientific' research or background to it. It is interesting that this question does not seem to be an issue amongst the homeopaths who are working with homeopathy itself Is it because they are not interested to know, or even that they may have an invested interest not to know? I don't think so., peer-reviewed

109. Homeopathy : wherein lies the cure?

Author

Abstract

The term Homeopathy comes from the Greek words homaeo, meaning 'similar', and pathos, meaning 'suffering' or 'disease' It is a system of medicine developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann (l7SS -1843), a German physician, chemist and linguist. However the underlying concept - the 'similia principle' or 'like cures like', was described by Hippocrates, who noted that, for example, recurrent vomiting could be treated with a small dose of an emetic (such as ipecacuanha) which in a larger dose would be expected to make it worse. Samuel Hahnemann was a father of eight children. He was disil!usioned with the medical methods of his time after several of his children died from epidemic disease and he was powerless to save them. He lived at a time, when common medical treatments were harsh (bloodletting, purging), and there were few effective medications for treating patients. He gave up medicine and turned to translating medical text. The first major step in his work reportedly was when he was translating an herbal text and read about the treatment (cinchona bark) used to cure malaria. This was solely based on the fact that it was 'bitter'. Interested in the logic of this treatment he himself took some cinchona bark and observed that, as a healthy person, he developed symptoms that were very similar to malaria symptoms. This led Hahnemann to consider that a substance may relieve symptoms that it can also create - the similia principle. A simple example of this principle in action is as follows: While cutting an onion, one's eyes start to water and the nose starts to discharge. The homeopathic medicine made from the onion is used to treat hayfever with these same symptoms of lachrymation of the eyes and coryza. Another simple example is the homeopathic medicine made from the bee, which helps to relieve the symptoms and heal a bee sting., peer-reviewed
