Why is it important to include a placebo in a scientific study to assess the effectiveness of a drug?
Some over-the-counter medicines should not be given to very young children. For example, cold medicines contain decongestants and antihistamines. These substances raise blood pressure and heart rate. If an overdose should occur in a young child, the result can be fatal.
Is the above statement an argument? If so, what is the conclusion? If non-argument, what type?
Given this information, what would you say to a relative or friend who believes that sugar causes hyperactivity in their own child?

- An athlete tested positive for Methylhexaneamine in urine with a level of 0.90 µg/mL. At her appeal in the Court of Arbitration, she quotes a highly respected scientific publication that states that at levels of 1.0 µg/mL there is no performance enhancement. If the athlete’s levels are indeed below this threshold, the athlete can face a year’s suspension instead of a ban for life. Use the Estimate of Uncertainty to determine if the Athlete should be given a 1 year suspension or banned for life.arrow_forwardhow are multicompartment models different from single compartment models in pharmacology? Specifically, what do they mean for drug concentration/distribution? Do single compartment models mean that the drug distributes throughout the entire body quickly and evenly? Or does it mean that a drug only distributes into the "central" compartment and not peripheral tissues/fluids, making any decrease in plasma levels the result of elimination? Also, what is mean't by "central compartment" anyway?arrow_forwardMatch the chemical used as an indirect food additive to its associated health risks: Bisphenols in food & beverage cans V [ Choose ] obesogenic activity & neurodevelopmental disruption obesogenic activity, endocrine disruption, cardiotoxicity, & oxidative stress thyroid hormone disruption immunosuppresion, endocrine disruption, obesogenic activity, & decreased birth weight PFCS in grease-proof paper & paperboard Perchlorate in food packaging [ Choose ] Phthalates in plastic wrap & food manufaccturing [ Choose ]arrow_forward

They emailed Dr. Meg A'Brain for some clarifications about the conditions of the Drug X administration; specifically, they wanted to know: Amount of Drug X administered Duration of administration Age, gender and number of mice Method of administration (mixed with food or in water, i.v. or i.p. injected) Dr. Meg A'Brain said, "Of course, please see attached publication from my lab" and attached the paper Dolt Colt & Meg A'Brain, Journal of Irreproducible Results (2018), 666, 1234-1240 Here is the information from the Methods section of the paper.

- My hypothesis as I preformed the experiment was that the D. magna would be affected as much as humans are when they have consumed caffeine and alcohol. Before I started the experiment, I predicted that the D. magna’s heart ratewould have increased more and more every time the experiment with caffeine was done, and that the heart rate would have decreased more and more as the experiment with alcohol was done.

If a blood test for glucose correctly identifies 90% of diabetic patients, but gives false-positive results for 12% of non-diabetic patients, then: the blood glucose test has improved sensitivity, but reduced specificity (compared to the urine test) the blood glucose test has improved neither sensitivity nor specificity (compared to the urine test) the blood glucose test has reduced both sensitivity and specificity (compared to the urine test) the blood glucose test has improved both sensitivity…arrow_forward107. An investigator is conducting a study of the effects of alcohol consumption in young adults. A total of 250 participants between the ages of 21 and 25 years are recruited for the study. Blood alcohol concentrations are measured using a Breathalyzer after repeated oral doses of pure (95%) ethanol. Results show that female participants become more intoxicated and have higher blood alcohol concentrations compared with male participants receiving an equivalent dose of ethanol. Which of the following characteristics of the female participants best explains these findings? 4 A) Decreased alcohol dehydrogenase activity B) Induction of enzymes in the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system C) Presence of genetic polymorphisms of alcohol dehydrogenase D) Presence of genetic polymorphisms of aldehyde dehydrogenase E) Relatively higher proportion of total body waterarrow_forward
