What is an Experiment?

What is an Experiment?

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

Thomson's e/m Experiment

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

Controls in Experiments

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

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

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.

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Background:

Multiloculated brain abscesses present complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of intracranial infections.

Purpose of the Study:

To report the author's experience with diagnosing and treating multiloculated brain abscesses.
To evaluate the efficacy of surgical excision and aspiration in managing these complex cases.

Main Methods:

Diagnosis of 10 consecutive multiloculated brain abscesses.
Utilized computerized tomography (CT) for diagnostic imaging.
Treatment involved surgical excision (primary or early secondary) or repeated aspiration.

Main Results:

All 10 cases of multiloculated brain abscesses were successfully treated.
Computerized tomography proved effective in diagnosing these complex abscesses.
Surgical intervention (excision or aspiration) led to favorable outcomes.

Conclusions:

Multiloculated brain abscesses can be effectively managed with prompt diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention.
Computerized tomography is an essential tool for the diagnosis of brain abscesses.
Surgical excision or repeated aspiration are viable treatment options for multiloculated brain abscesses.
