Regulation of therapeutic goods

chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting and haven’t responded to other therapeutic options and in some cases, it is found to be more effective than other FDA approved nausea and vomiting medications (Cannabis and Cannabinoids, 2015, para. 7). Another study highlighting marijuana’s cannabinoid delta-9-THC effectiveness was related to pain. Oral delta-9-THC was successful in treating pain as well as nausea and vomiting. When given in therapeutic doses its results were successful and comparable to…

set- up its own regulatory body. In the UK, the majority of complementary therapists are not currently regulated, with the exception of chiropodists, osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists, but it is hoped to be introduced to statutory regulations.

However, in Australia the…

The transference- countertransference field of a therapeutic relationship is a place where dissociative and traumatic interpersonal scenarios from past relationships can be reenacted and possibly resolved as long as the therapist is conscious of projective identification phenomena constellated between himself…

genetic engineering boosting the modern biotechnology and other science fields. Thanks to this discover, scientists could manipulate genetic material and make individual studies at the level of structure, organization and function but also about regulation and gene expression. So today, with all this new technology ready in our hands we are able to mutate genes in a targeted way and obtain the desired change in the sequence involving, developing the phenotype change required by the…

resistance. It has been observed that when an antibiotic is introduced to human population, the antibiotics will quickly lose their function. Subsequently, now, in the 2000s, antibiotics are considered a major public health threat. Quite often, non-therapeutic use of antibiotics, especially the use of inadequate amounts of antibiotics in agriculture allows bacteria to acquire resistance easily and to transmit resistant strains to humans. Antibiotics are used in animals therapeutically to treat…

Discoveries in the field of genetics have given the world hope for a brighter future. With promises of disease eradication, increased intelligence, and longer lifespans, it is no wonder that people believe that this altering our genetic code is the solution to all of our problems. However, with all of these potential benefits, there come potential dangers. A new scientific breakthrough has come our way. Referred to as CRISPR, this new technology is the easiest, cheapest, and most reliable way of…

them feel resulting in a desire for more pain pills. The difficulty for health care providers is determining whether or not the patient is still in pain or simply attempting to get more drugs.

to their illness. The researchers from the University of Utah described the games as patient empowerment exercise video games (PE games.) The PE games are designed to improve resiliency and empowerment, causing the effect of a “fighting spirit.” Therapeutic video games such as PE games are pushed by multiple companies, non-profit organization, and academic centers, due to the effectiveness patients, which promote interaction and motivation for both the illness bearing patients and the medical…

within synthetic marijuana (“The Surprising Origins,” 2013). JWH are the initials for Dr. John W. Huffman, a researcher, who with the help from the National Institute of Drug Abuse, along with various other organizations, found a way to mimic the therapeutic effects of marijuana (“The Surprising Origins,” 2013). Naturally, the question might arise, why not use marijuana in the first place? Even today, with states passing laws allowing for the medicinal, and even in some cases the recreational…

Introduction Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia is a type of cancer that occurs when bone marrow produces too many leucocytes (white blood cells) . This over production of leucocytes occurs when they grow uncontrollably by overcoming the cell regulation cycle. Cells not undergoing the regulation cycle continue to divide without dying ,causing an overcrowding of cells, hence, forming a tumour in bone marrow. The tumour can become an even more serious issue when the cancer cells from a tumour spreads to…
