Placebo Effects Through the Lens of Translational Research
Placebo Effects Through the Lens of Translational Research is an Open Access book integrating current knowledge on placebo research in healthcare to develop comprehensive and adequate strategies for better symptom management and treatment responses. This edited collection features the work of experts in placebo studies, including women, people of color, and international scholars, helping to diversify the existing scholarship in the field. It presents the latest research findings while also considers theoretical aspects of placebo. Together, the chapters in this volume help bridge the gulf between research and ideas in placebo studies and their day-to-day application in clinical practice in order to improve healthcare and health outcomes. Responses to placebos can be as significant as the observed results of active treatments in Phase II/III randomized clinical trials. These results have led to a stagnant era in new drug development since the effect of these potential therapeutics have similar, measured effects as the placebos used in the same trials. This book sheds light on translational aspects related to placebo and drug treatment methods. It also evaluates the clinical implications of a much-needed integration of pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments in healthcare. Placebo Effects Through the Lens of Translational Research concludes with a discussion of the most innovative developments in placebo research, which will be of interest to a wide readership, including clinicians, senior scientists, trainees, and patients. In a single volume, Placebo Effects Through the Lens of Translational Research provides readers with an overview of current perspectives on placebo research and translational applications.

The drop
In the 5th century B.C., Hippocrates used the word "podagra" to designate the disease or its carrier. The term was descriptive. In Greek, it means "caught by the foot", evoking the trap in which the animal is captured (agra meaning hunt or catch). It was in the 9th century that the term gout was introduced into popular parlance. Rheuma (rheumatism or discharge) is compared to a noxious mood distilled "drop by drop" in the joints and organs. Its meaning narrowed in the 15th century, with the word gout corresponding to the condition known as podagre. In the Renaissance, Ambroise Par矇 used the term "gout" instead of podagre. There are many historical descriptions, but one of the most seminal is the 1683 treatise on podagre by Thomas Sydenham, the English Hippocrates. Gout has also been dubbed "the disease of kings". From Charlemagne to Louis XIV, it has struck down some of history's greatest names. In the 19th century, it was considered responsible for all ills. Gout is far from being a thing of the past, especially in Africa.

Universal Clinical Reasoning
Getting the correct diagnosis as soon as possible, without unnecessary tests or trials of failed treatment, is the goal and hallmark of excellent healthcare. Clinical reasoning is central to the goal of rapidly deducing the correct clinical diagnosis whilst continuing to be safe and careful. This reasoning is also required to make optimal, patient-centred decisions afterwards.Commonplace healthcare and training are far from attaining this goal. Inability to correctly diagnose patients is often accompanied by mistakes, wastage, and sometimes allegations of medical malpractice. Some countries like the USA have great wealth and advanced technology, yet consistently have poor overall outcomes and significant medicolegal litigation. Healthcare training is fragmented and flawed, with multiple styles and approaches without any unifying, clear path for learners.This book aims to address all of those limitations.Clinical reasoning is defined in a universal, simple and practical manner for all healthcare trainees, professionals and leaders. The learning journey for this skill is described, and applies for any patient in any setting. In so doing, this method aims to accelerate the acquisition of competence, and increase the extent of achieved competence.
Cochlear Implant Programming
The high incidence of severe and profound hearing loss, the increase in life expectancy, hearing loss detection programs, the dissemination of the benefits of cochlear implants and the improvements in social coverage, generated an increase in the number of cochlear implant users and encouraged the creation of teams of professionals specialized in this field. On the other hand, the constant technological advances achieved by the manufacturers of implantable hearing devices demand a permanent updating by professionals. That is why the idea of creating this book arose, which is intended for those audiologists who are starting or are in their first years of programming. It aims to share audiological information on the current management of Cochlear R cochlear implants in order to maximize the quality of the information provided and promote the use of the devices. The different parameters, measurements and modifications to create and optimize a programming MAP are described.

Effects of PNF and de-Lorme and Watkins exercises on UE function and strength in stroke
Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Medicine - Neurology, Psychiatry, Addiction, grade: A, Virtual University of Pakistan, language: English, abstract: A Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident, is defined as rapid clinical signs of focal (or global) damage to brain function, along with symptoms that last longer than 24 hours or lead to death, with an apparent cause, mainly vascular origin. Globally, cerebrovascular damage is the second-biggest cause of death and the third-largest cause of disability. This ratio is 1 in 19 deaths. Stroke is a substantial source of injury in the long tenure and is more disabled than fatal. To compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation strengthening exercises with Delorme and Watkins exercises program to improve the upper extremity function and strength in chronic stroke patients. A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 20 chronic stroke patients, age of 50 to70 years. Clinical trial registry number was NCT05904795. Sample was collected from Shahida Islam Teaching Hospital Lodhran through convenience sampling technique and then patients were randomly allocated to 2 groups. Group A received PNF strengthening exercises training while Group B received Delorme and Watkins exercise program. Upper limb motor functions, and grip strength, were checked by The Barthel Index Scale and Handheld Dynamometer. SPSS version 25 used for statistical work. Independent sample t test was used for between group analysis, which shows that upper limb function assessment through Barthel index shows that pre-intervention score of PNF+PT group is 37.60 簣5.60, whilst DL&WE group is 35.80 簣2.78 and post-intervention scores of the PNF+PT group is 75.70 簣 5.53 and DL&WE group is 44.70 簣 4.52 correspondingly. Strength is checked by dynamometer and pre-intervention score of PNF+PT ii group is 76.80 簣19.43, whilst DL&WE group is 71.32 簣25.23.

The Potential Healing of Cancer with P53 (Re)Activators
The purpose of this book is to propose a new strategy to heal human cancer completely with two entirely new drug compounds exploiting cancer's Warburg effect characterized by a defective mitochondrial aerobic respiration, substituted for by cytosolic aerobic fermentation/glycolysis of glucose into L-(+)-lactic acid. The two essentially new drugs P(op)T(est)162 and PT167 were discovered and developed by Andreas J. Kesel and internationally patented by PopTest Oncology LLC/Palisades Therapeutics. The in vitro antineoplastic highly efficacious drug PT167 represents a covalent combination of PT162 and PT166. The intermediate drug PT166 is an entirely new colchic(in)oid derivative synthesized from colchicine. PT166's structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. PT162 and PT167 were active in vitro versus 60 cancer cell lines of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) 60-cancer cell testing. PT162 and PT167 both not only stop the growth of cancer cells to 簣0% (cancerostatic effect), but completely kill all 60 cancer cells to a level of -100% (tumoricidal effect). PT162 and PT167 induce mitochondrial apoptosis (under cytochrome c release) in all cancer cells tested by (re)activating (in most cancers impaired) p53 function which results in a decrease of cancer's dysregulated cyclin D1 and an induction of the cell cycle-halting cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21Waf1/p21Cip1. It was found that compound 1 (PT162, NSC 796018), a new compound never synthesized before [according to Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS(R)) SciFinder(R) search], induced apoptosis in all cell lines of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) 60-cancer cell 5-dose testing, excluding leukemia cell lines, in the micromolar range of growth inhibition 50% (GI50). The author decided to merge compound 1 (PT162, NSC 796018) with the colchic(in)oid compound 2 (PT166, NSC 750423) which showed submicromolar GI50 in the NCI DTP 60-cancer c

The Comprehensive Physicians’ Guide to the Management of Pans and Pandas
An evidence-based guide for doctors diagnosing, testing, and treating children with PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Strep infections). In the early 1990s, a group of researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health began collecting data on children who had developed neuropsychiatric disorders (OCD and tics) following infections. They found evidence that antineuronal antibodies had developed in some of these children which attacked the basal ganglia region of the brain. MRI and PET scans in these children demonstrated inflammatory changes in the basal ganglia as well. In 1997, the researchers published the first article to describe this syndrome that they named PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Strep infections). In PANDAS, an autoimmune attack on the brain occurs following a Strep infection. PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) is a broader term that also includes cases following exposure to other infections, toxins, and even stress. Clinicians treating children with PANS and PANDAS have found that antibiotics targeted at the offending organisms, steroids, and IVIG results in marked improvement and occasionally complete remission of the neuropsychiatric symptoms. Disturbing symptoms consistent with many DSM-5 psychiatric disorders manifest in patients with PANS and PANDAS--yet we know that there is a biologic basis for the changes in these children. As a result, these disorders require us, as physicians, to view mental illness in an entirely new way. Resistance to this change in paradigm has made PANS and PANDAS difficult for clinicians to diagnose, unbearable for parents to endure, and controversial for scholars to accept. As such, there is no recognized standard of care. We have written this work in an effort to change that. This is a textbook by physicians for physicians. It was written to bring back some of the art of medicine to physicians caring for a group of children and families who really need it. PANS and PANDAS are complex disorders that demand a rich, multifaceted response with novel treatment approaches. The material in this book is assembled from the peer-reviewed medical literature, in combination with over thirty years of clinical experience caring for the sickest patients, both in and out of the hospital. Here you will find conclusive evidence for the existence and pathophysiology of PANS and PANDAS, alongside testing and treatment interventions the author has successfully used in his own practice with hundreds of children. The book concludes with rich appendices including commonly used labs, doses of medications and supplements, a sample flare protocol, extensive support for parents, sample IVIG orders, and much more. We hope this resource allows you, the physician, to help these suffering families heal.
