What is an Experiment?

17.4K
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...

Thomson's e/m Experiment

6.6K
In a beam of charged particles created by a heated cathode, the particles move at different speeds. However, many applications need a beam with uniform particle speeds. An arrangement known as a velocity selector uses electric and magnetic fields to pick particles with a particular speed from the beam.
A particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters an area from the top, where the magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular both to the particle's motion and to one another. The magnetic...

Controls in Experiments

16.1K
When conducting an experiment, it is crucial to have control to reduce bias and accurately measure the dependent variables. It also marks the results more reliable. Controls are elements in an experiment that have the same characteristics as the treatment groups but are not affected by the independent variable. By sorting these data into control and experimental conditions, the relationship between the dependent and independent variables can be drawn. A randomized experiment always includes a...

Randomized Experiments

The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Crossover Experiments

Crossover experiments, also called the repeated-measurements design, is a study design in which all experimental units are exposed to all treatments in different periods. Crossover experiments are generally used in psychology, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, and medicine.
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Antimicrobial Resistance

Background:

  • Ceftobiprole is a novel cephalosporin with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
  • It exhibits potent activity against methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of ceftobiprole, particularly in combination with daptomycin, against MRSA in animal models of endocarditis.
  • To assess the potential of ceftobiprole as an empirical therapy for bacteremia.

Main Methods:

  • Animal models of endocarditis were used to test ceftobiprole monotherapy and combination therapy with daptomycin against MRSA.
  • In vitro spectrum of activity was assessed against various microorganisms.

Main Results:

  • Ceftobiprole demonstrated potent activity against MRSA in monotherapy and enhanced efficacy in combination with daptomycin.
  • Its extended spectrum includes coagulase-negative staphylococci, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterobacteriaceae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Conclusions:

  • The combination of ceftobiprole and daptomycin presents a promising future option for treating staphylococcal endovascular infections.
  • Ceftobiprole's broad spectrum makes it advantageous for empirical therapy in diverse bacteremia cases, including catheter-related infections.
