presentation of veridical data and a sound argument, Father Spitzer asserts that accounts of veridical experiences during clinical death help prove the human soul’s existence. Father Spitzer’s argument relies on veridical data and accounts provided by patients in multiple case studies. His argument, ultimately, falls to the amount of data gathered by the dead during clinical death, which can later be reported accurately. This argument is inductive, and provides many reasons to believe the ultimate conclusion
testing and investigation in laboratories and clinics. It is through research that we get all the possible answers about the safety and effectiveness of a new drug or a new therapy.

Ethics in Clinical Research Ethical Guidelines The goal of clinical research is to develop generalizable knowledge that improves human health or increases understanding of human biology. People who participate in clinical research make it possible to secure that knowledge. The path to finding out if a new drug or treatment is safe or effective, for example, is to test it on patient volunteers. But by placing some people at risk of harm for the good of others, clinical research has the potential to
Definition and History of Evidence-Based Practice In the field of nurse anesthesia there are always clinical advances and an explosion of new information. So how does an anesthesia provider put all this new knowledge to good use in a clinical setting?

Prior to obtaining marketing authorisation for a new drug, the drug has to be tested and the corresponding data has to be gathered. These tests are known as clinical trials, and the relevant regulatory bodies must use this data to decide whether the drugs benefits outweigh the associated risks. If the benefits are seen to be greater than the risks marketing

The manner in which I engaged with the patient in the clinical skills lab significantly influenced their personal motivation for change.

1.0 INTRODUCTION Cognitive Behaviour Therapy has its origins in the Mid1950s, with the work of Albert Ellis, a clinical psychologist (Froggat, 2009). Ellis was trained in psychoanalysis, he observed that his clients got better when they changed their ways of thinking about themselves, their problems, and with the world. Ellis reasoned that therapy would progress faster if the focus was directly on the client’s beliefs, and developed a method now known as Rational Emotive Behaviour therapy (REBT)
Short Course Therapy Standardized short course regimens are an important element of DOTS. TB Programmers using short course therapies have consistently achieved higher cure rates than those relying on longer therapies. Short course therapies are more effective for two reasons: one, they are more efficacious; and two, compliance is higher. Importantly, short course therapies also reduce relapse rates and therefore multi-drug resistance. There is strong and consistent evidence that short course therapies
