The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in children with autism seems to be pretty predominant in an attempt to address their behavior issues. One of the CAM treatments used in this population is the controversial chelation therapy, a process where the removal of heavy metals from the body such as mercury and lead is used. This approach obeys to the theory that some types of autism are caused by heavy metal poisoning. The process can be conducted in different forms such as…

Criminalistics, while often called forensics, is actually a subdivision of forensic science that encompasses a wide variety of scientific disciplines, such as toxicology, anthropology, and odontology. The primary purpose of this field is to identify, gather, analyze, and interpret physical evidence found at a crime scene, as well as present it in court. The gathering and analyzing of evidence is paramount to forming a case, prosecuting the perpetrator, and convincing the judge and jury. Without…

In the drug development procedure, Good Laboratory Practice stand at the Preclinical Development Stage, also called as a non-clinical stage as it is not conducted in human. Its main goal is to test the safety. Toxicology, Pharmacokinetics Pharmacodynamics and bioavailability studies must follow the GLP compliance.Good laboratory practice (GLP) was first announced in New Zealand and Denmark in the year 1972 and later in the USA in June, 1979 as regulations passed to stop investigators who submit…

Students Name Professor’s Name Course Name Date Discussion Post A comparison of how the two patients will metabolize the drug considering weight, gender, distribution of body water and body fat, age, metabolic state, and alcohol use. From the descriptions of the two patients, Ms. Jones is likely to metabolize orally admitted drugs faster that Mr. Smith. The more on is older one is, the slower a drug will be absorbed by the body. Since drugs depend on the amount of gastric fluid in a patient’s…

Toxicology is the science dealing with properties, actions, toxicity, fatal dose, detection, estimation and treatment of poisons. The detection of poisons and quantitative estimation are the essential features of forensic toxicology and toxicological chemistry is the basis of all such investigations in cases of poisoning, fatal or otherwise. In ancient times the tribal…

physically and chemically, can include dangerous substances, illegal drugs, blood, semen, and other bodily fluids. Some criminalists specialize in one particular area of forensic science such as ballistics, fingerprinting, handwriting, trace evidence, toxicology, DNA, or biochemistry. Criminalists work at crime scenes and in laboratories. They often work irregular hours and might be called upon to give expert testimony in criminal trials. Such technicians may work in any time of weather and…

The role of the phenomenon of postmortem redistribution in forensic cases Abstract It has been established in several studies that a postmortem blood sample examination is not always a reliable reflect of blood sample examination during life. There are a large number of variables affecting the blood concentration of foreign substances in a living individual, in the other hand, there are also a number of factors that can change their levels after death. Although the underlying mechanisms involved…

Do you have a pet at home? If so have you ever considered animals just like your pet and many others being used for medical research to help create medicine that will keep you healthy? You may not know it but animals are more than just a man's best friend. Imagine living in a world where illnesses plagued everyone and advancements in medicine was scarce. The number of people dying everyday grew out of control. That's what the world would be like if animals weren't used in research. "Sixty-five…

fingerprints, toxicology, presumptive test for blood, presence of blood in a forensic context and photography for the identification of criminals. Without forensic science many cases would go unsolved for years. All it takes is dna, fingerprints, or some blood to solve a case, without forensic science that wouldn’t be possible. During the 1800s and early 1900s forensic science saw the most growth with technology. The first use of toxicology was used during the 1800s. Toxicology is the tests on…
