Summary Introduction
To determine: The flaws in the given experiment to test an SSRI in a large number of individuals with depression.
Introduction: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) is an antidepressant that is given to a patient with a major depressive disorder. SSRI is a regulator of serotonin that regulates mood disorders by increasing the serotonin level at the synapse.

Cannabinoid oil or CBD is everywhere! We see it as a means to treat anxiety, pain, and other ailments. There are also many products that contain CBD, including skin cream and shampoo! CBD can be purchased as an oil, vape, gummi, and etc.
While this has become the “new trend” of health benefits, is it safe? How does it treat diseases associated with the central or peripheral nervous system? Give an example with supporting resources and also your opinion on the safety aspect. Then, respond to two peers regarding your opinion on CBD use described.
A consumer survey has highlighted a major increase in the use of Pregabalin, an authorised
antiepileptic drug. The working hypothesis is that this drug is being used in other pathologies,
such as to treat neuropathic pain. What sort of indicators could we use to obtain information
that might enable us to test this hypothesis?
Select one:
O a. The conducting of a controlled clinical trial enabling us to assess the efficacy of
Pregabalin in neuropathic pain.
O b. The construction of drug-indication indicators (studying consumption in terms of the
indication for which it is prescribed).
O c. The construction of indicators that relate the drug to the indication and the treatment
outcome.
O d. A comparison between the consumption of Pregabalin in defined daily doses per 1000
inhabitants per day and the diagnosed prevalence of epilepsy.

Why are these studies effective for testing a drug that may elevate mood and relieve feelings of depression? Since there are two symptoms that are affected, a double-blind study is required. Double-blind studies are ways to ensure that only the researcher can figure out who is getting the effective drug. Double-blind studies are the most economical way to gather results from testing on humans. The patients and researchers are not given this information so they cannot be influenced in reporting the effectiveness.arrow_forward
- Medical researchers discover a new compound, known as Serenity, which has been shown to be effective at reducing anxiety in laboratory mice. The researchers now wish to test the compound in human subjects. Which of the following would be the experimental prediction for their experiment? O People diagnosed with a General Anxiety Disorder will be given either the drug serenity or a sugar pill placebo for 6 months and then will complete a test that is used to quantify anxiety level. O People given the drug Serenity will have lower scores on the Johnson-Smith Anxiety Index test then people that are given a sugar pill placebo. O A.Serenity will reduce anxiety in people diagnosed with a General Anxiety Disorder due to its ability to limit serotonin reuptake by neurons.arrow_forwardMedical researchers discover a new compound, known as Serenity, which has been shown to be effective at reducing anxiety in laboratory mice.

- 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. IS this hypothesis good why or why not grade it as 1- inadequate 2- adequate 3-minor errors 4- throrougharrow_forwardPart 2: Please read the following scenarios. For each scenario, identify the confound and suggest how it might be removed in a follow-up experiment. McCann and Holmes (1984) tested the hypothesis that exercise reduces depression. They randomly assigned depressed undergraduate women either to an exercise condition (attending an aerobics class a couple of times a week for ten weeks) or to a relaxation training condition (the individuals relaxed at home by watching a videotape over the same period of time). Although the results showed that the exercise group reported less depression at the end of the ten-week period than did the relaxation group, why can't the researchers conclude that exercise reduces depression?arrow_forwardDo you consider manipulating a people's mood in an experiment an ethical violation of the principle no harm?arrow_forward
