The Scientific Method01:32

The Scientific Method

275.1K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

Data Collection by Experiments

28.1K
Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...

What is an Experiment?

19.7K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

Toxicity Testing in Animals01:23

Toxicity Testing in Animals

133
Toxicity tests in animals are grounded on two main assumptions: first, the effects observed in laboratory animals can be extrapolated to humans, especially when adjusted for body surface area; second, high-dose exposure in animals is essential to identify potential human hazards from lower doses. This is based on the quantal dose-response concept, which faces the challenge of extrapolating results from relatively few test animals to much larger human populations. For example, a 0.01% incidence...

Blind Procedures

13.9K
Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients01:15

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

208
Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...

Area of Science:

  • Homeopathy
  • Biochemical Research
  • Biological Research

Background:

  • Lack of standardized guidelines for reporting basic research in homeopathy.
  • Existing guidelines are common in clinical research, but not basic science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Develop a criteria catalogue for Reporting Experiments in Homeopathic Basic Research (REHBaR).
  • Improve the quality and validity of homeopathic basic research publications.

Main Methods:

  • A Delphi process involving experts in homeopathic experimental work.
  • Five rounds of adjustments and phrasing, culminating in two consensus conferences.

Main Results:

  • A 23-item checklist (REHBaR) with detailed examples for publication.
  • Mandatory inclusion of background, objectives, hypotheses, detailed methods (controls, setup, replication, statistics), results, and discussion.

Conclusions:

  • REHBaR enhances the quality and validity of homeopathic basic research.
  • The checklist serves as a first step towards consensus on necessary information for publications.
  • The catalogue establishes standards for good basic research in homeopathy.
