SEMMELWEIS’ CASE STUDY An example of the scientific method in action can be found in the work of Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor who lived in the early-to-mid-1800s. He was appointed to a ward in Vienna’s most modern hospital, the Allegemeine Krankenhaus. He noticed that in his ward, patients were dying at a rate that far exceeded that of the other wards, even the wards with much sicker patients. Semmelweis observed the situation for several weeks, trying to figure out what was different about his ward as compared to all others in the hospital. He finally determined that the only noticeable difference was that his ward was the first one that the doctors and medical students visited after they performed autopsies on the dead. Based on his observations, Semmelweis hypothesized that the doctors were carrying something deadly from the corpses upon which the autopsies were being performed to the patients in his ward. In other words, Dr. Semmelweis exercised the first step…
Gain of Function research, defined as: "medical research that genetically alters an organism in a way that may enhance the biological functions of gene products." The worry is that this type of research will lead to the release of dangerous viruses and is unethical; others believe it is necessary to treat future pandemic is Gain of Function research unethical? Why?
Should we conduct clinical trials on humans at all? Who should participate and is it truly possible to obtain informed consent? Should people with deadly diseases facing certain death have to wait for a clinical trial to test the efficacy of the drug if it shows to be promising in a lab? Would you consider this to be denying someone a treatment that "can't hurt" but can only help? Please: 3 paragraph
Procedure A. Applying the terms of science → The following fictional experiment demonstrates the use of the scientific method. Many people in the small Midwestern town of Hootville are stricken with the disease "Buggo." Most of those who get sick recover in seven to nine days. Buggo has been shown to be caused by a bacterium (single for bacteria) called "Gotcha." Antibiotic "X" is a new drug that has been shown to kill Gotcha bacteria in a test tube. Antibiotic X was also found to cure dogs that were sick with Buggo. 3 #m Researchers decided to test the new drug on some of the people in Hootville. They hypothesized that the drug would effectively cure Buggo in humans. They decided that if they gave patients Antibiotic X, the patients would recover more quickly than those who did not take the antibiotic. The researchers prepared tablets containing Antibiotic X. They also prepared a second batch that contained all the same ingredients (inactive ingredients) as Antibiotic X without any…
E. coli can cause various infections and food poisoning. How can people protect themselves from becoming sick with E. coli? On the other hand, many bacteria live in our digestive tract, including E. coli, are important in producing vitamins and enhancing our absorption of nutrients. They represent roughly around 3 Ibs of an adult's body weight, and some scientists call them a person's second brain. Antibiotics can kill both "good" and "bad" bacteria. What are some of the effects of antibiotics killing good bacteria? How does consuming acidophilus influence your normal intestinal flora? What are some of the things people do to take care of the "microbial friends" inside their guts?

Antibiotic resistance is a real threat to the human race. Unfortunately, it has not been given the kind of attention it deserves. So a lot of people are unaware of the seriousness of the situation and its consequences. You are expected to do a literature search about this burning issue and turn in a paper. I am not particular about the style you use for the paper. But I am particular about the fact that you must reference every statement you make if you are taking it from somewhere. I want you to use the ACS format to cite your reference Your paper must have an introduction. Your paper must read like an essay (headings are optional). If you use a question answer format I will not grade your paper. Please do not use the numbering or bullet format in writing the paper, the use of paragraphs is more appropriate. Please ensure that your paper is cohesive in font and writing style. In your paper please address the following issues · What are antibiotics? · What is antibiotic resistance? ·…
Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) can cure AIDS, Ebola, cancer, and malaria. Or at least that the website tells potential customers. The inventor and chief advocate of the products is Jim Humble. There is little evidence to support the fact that MMS does anything to patients aside from making them feel worse than they did before they tried it. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is typical in its conclusions about the so-called miracle drug. The FDA is typical in its conclusions about the so-called miracle drug. The FDA identifies it as 28 percent sodium chlorite, which , when mixed with an acid (as recommended), produces a potent form of bleach. The product’s labels suggest high oral doses for the minimum effect. The FDA states the oral doses will produce nothing but nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and diarrhea. Humble claims to have “treated” 100,000 patients in Mexico and other parts of the world. It is also clear that MMS has been used on pancreatic and lung cancer patients…
From: "Why our flu vaccines can't keep up" What is the most likely explanation for why the smallpox and polio vaccines have high long-term effectiveness, while the influenza vaccine has lower effectiveness and is only effective for a shorter time period? Smallpox and polio are caused by a virus, but flu is caused by a bacterium. The smallpox and polio vaccines are manufactured using more modern techniques than the flu vaccine. O The influenza virus mutates more rapidly than the smallpox and polio viruses. O The symptoms of flu are more severe than those of smallpox and polio.
Indicate whether each statement is true or false, and justify your answer.The US government has harnessed the power of induced innovation to create cures for orphan diseases.
(Taking a look at antibiotic resistance) since we try to keep bacteria out of our cells for the most part what do you think is the best way to utilize antibiotics to efficiently keep ourselves healthy? Are we using too many or not enough in society? Provide at least one supporting fact to help your opinion.
B. The Strange Case of BeriBeri In 1887 a strange nerve disease attacked the people in the Dutch East Indies. The disease was BeriBeri. Symptoms of the disease included weakness and loss of appetite. Victims often died of heart failure. Scientists thought the disease might be caused by bacteria. They injected chickens with bacteria from the blood of patients with BeriBeri. The injected chickens became sick. However, so did a group of chickens that were not injected with bacteria from the blood of patients with BeriBeri. One of the scientists, Dr. Eijkman, noticed something. Before the experiment, all the chickens had eaten whole-grain rice, but during the experiment, the chickens were fed polished rice. Dr. Eijkman researched this interesting case. he found that polished rice lacked thiamine, a vitamin necessary for good health. 1. State the Problem. 2. What was the hypothesis? 3. How was the hypothesis tested? 4. Should the hypothesis be supported or rejected based on the experiment?…
