Violation of Human Rights in China The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a declaration that represents the first global expression of what many people believe to be the rights in which all human beings are entitled to. With this in mind, is it fair to be transplanting the organs of Chinese prisoners without their consent while they are alive? People may think that because they are prisoners, there is nothing wrong with taking their organs. There are other people in the world who need…

We are doing ethical principles and practices this week. The reading is closely related to the practice of social dilemma we worked on in the workshop. The reading for week 7 is Ethics and Ethnography: An Experiential Account (2003) which written by Doctor Maggie and her mates and we mainly focus on a new situation in area of research ethics that names ‘two-pronged’ ethical dilemma. To begin with, the writers introduces the situation that ‘ethical dilemmas do not exist in a vacuum, in…

Metabolism: The following section will discuss the ways in which the body metabolizes barbiturates, to be more precise, the pharmacokinetics of barbiturates. Pharmacokinetics refers to how the body absorbs, distributes, binds, localizes, stores and excretes a drug (Tripathi, 2013). Factors such as absorption, distribution, and metabolism are variables that determine the drugs onset of effect and duration (Meyer & Quenzer, 2013). Barbiturates come in the form of capsules or antiesthetic, and can…

Hyoscine... Hyoscine is a part of the drug/medication group called antispasmodics. Hyoscine Butylbromide used to relieve pain and discomfort such as cramps, nausea and vomiting. Hyoscine Butylbromide is the active ingredient within Buscopan tablets, known as an antispasmodic medicine. How Does It Work... Hyoscine relaxes the smooth/involuntary muscles in the walls of the stomach, intestines, bowel, bile duct and urinary tract. Relieves colicky abdominal pain which is caused by painful spasms in…

killing his patient. Quickly the evidence against cocaine use lead to the drug becoming illegal in the state. But are there any current medical uses now? A use of cocaine in medicine is as a local atheistic (Cocaine HCL) used in surgery as a local anesthetic in the sensitive areas of the body - including the nose, mouth, and eyes- “by binding to and blocking the voltage-gated sodium channels in the neuronal cell membrane… inhibits the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses and produces a…

be one of the very few that has potentially affected every human being in the world.” (Daniel H. Robinson & Alexander H. Toledo, 2012). It was in 1846 that one of mankind’s greatest fears, the pain of surgery, was eliminated. In the age before anesthetics, the norm was to perform surgeries on fully-conscious patients that were forcefully held down despite their cries and pleas. Now in the twenty first century it is hard to imagine agreeing to surgery without the hope of anesthesia. John…

Civil War Doctors and Medicine Every Thursday Americans tune in to watch their favorite medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. Even the show is not completely accurate once you get past the crying and romance, a decent representation of today’s medicine is shown. However, modern medicine has not always been this way. When going into war injuries are to be expected by both sides. With today’s technology healing those who are wounded is not a challenge that arises anymore. Doctors during the Civil War…

Data for this study were derived from an AAOMS Outcomes Assessment Project study of anesthesia and third molar extractions in private practice oral and maxillofacial surgery offices. A randomly selected sample of 300 OMS were instructed to enter data on all eligible patients they treated during a one month period. This study has two study samples, a surgeon sample and subject sample. The surgeon sample was composed of OMSs randomly selected from the population of AAOMS members between June, 2011…

on purpose. After Michael’s death they thought of possible ways Michael could have died. The first theory was his prescription, Propofol. The doctors scanned Michael for any evidence of overdose. Then they found out this is a drug you took before anesthetic. His physician, Dr. Conrad Murray prescribed Propofol to calm him down…

Introduction Propofol is a short-acting intravenous anesthetic drug with an excellent recovery profile having pharmacokinetic characteristics particularly suitable for continuous infusion [1,2]. Although propofol is commonly used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia in obese patients, little is known about its tolerated and effective dose in such patients [3]. Obese individuals have larger lean body and fat masses compared to non-obese of the same age, gender, and height. The altered…
