Seven patients undergoing laparotomy and left colectomy participated in the study. All patient procedures were carried out by a consultant colorectal surgeon. Ethical approval for this trial was obtained from St. Mary s Hospital Local Regional Ethics Committee, and informed consent obtained from all participants. The clinical microdialysis probe (CMA 62 3 cm membrane, CMA, Stockholm, Sweden) was tunneled in the left colon wall before transecting any feeding vessel. The probe outlet was connected to the biosensor system. Glucose and lactate dialysate were monitored online every 15 seconds until the specimen was completely resected and delivered outside the surgical field.

While there is no FDA involvement in such investigations, ethical considerations and institutional regulations would generally dictate that informed consent and the approval of the local institutional review board be obtained. However, due to the negligible risks involved these are likely to be a formality and will not involve extensive review or scrutiny.

Glycolic acid peeling is a medical procedure that requires the informed consent of the patient. The medical doctor must obtain from the patient a well-standardized formal consent that shows that all information about the medical procedure performed was explained to the patient. We include below the formal consent form submitted to the patient before the glycolic acid peeling procedure. 

This sample is a biopsy taken from the fundus of a patient with Barrett s esophagus under informed consent. The biopsy was fixed in 70% ethanol within 15 s of sampling and was homogenized within 5 min. It is possible to obtain the sample, process it, and complete the electrophoresis within 1 h. The biopsy is roughly 3 mm long, 1 mm wide and 500 pm deep. Its total protein content is 150 pg. This homogenate is prepared in 400 pL of solution and can be used for dozens of analyses. 

Although there are several ethical concerns with biobanks and other large-scale research repositories (Rothstein, 2002), the most important issue is informed consent. Participants in research involving human subjects must be advised of the intended research to be performed with their specimens. With biobanks, however, the future research uses of the samples are unknown at the time of collection. It would be infeasible to contact each of the donors to obtain consent every time a new research use is contemplated, yet IRBs are reluctant to approve the use of blanket consent for unspecified uses. One way to avoid this problem is for prospective sample donors to be given a menu of possible uses of their samples. Such a list might include research in mental health, HIV/AIDS, cancer, cardiovascular disease, or other areas. The donors would then have the opportunity to approve the use of their specimens for all or some of the listed uses. Other disclosures necessary to obtain informed consent include the financial interests of the biobank and researchers, whether individuals may elect to be notified of research findings, and whether it is possible for an individual to withdraw his or her sample from the bank (Rothstein, 2002). 

University of Rochester. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. 

Informed Consent. This must be obtained from study participants in writing before any study-related activities are performed. Regulations clearly describe the required elements of the consent document and the consent process to be followed. A good informed consent process can help ensure that potential subjects understand the nature of the studies they will enter, the type of treatments they will undergo, alternative therapies currently available, and any particular hazards they might experience. They must be informed that they can withdraw from the study at any time without penalty. Subjects are to be asked for their consent to release information from their medical records and told that the medical information may be inspected by sponsor company and regulatory agency representatives. They are to be informed that the results of the trials may be used publicly, but anonymously. 

Before a person has a genetic test, it is important that he or she understands the testing procedure, the benefits and limitations of the test, and the possible consequences of the test results. The process of educating a person about the test and obtaining permission is called informed consent. 

Informed consent will be obtained from each prospective participant or the participant s legally authorized representative and will be documented in accordance with IRB, FDA, and ICH informed consent regulations and guidelines. Adequate provisions are made for monitoring the data collected to ensure the safety of participants. 

Patient characteristics (e.g., demographics, gender, age, smoking status) should be described. This should also include the criteria for inclusion in the study. Appropriate internal review board approval and informed consent must have been obtained and docnmented. 

Obtaining informed consent after the subject is given a full explanation of the experimental procedures, including known risks and discomforts the form would describe the procedures and risks fully and specify that the subject may withdraw from the study at any time. 

The study was performed in patients exposed to ionizing radiation after Chernobyl accident. Comparison groups included patients and healthy individuals exposed to the natural radiation levels. Control group included healthy volunteers who resided in Kyiv since Chernobyl accident Distribution by diagnosis is presented at table 1. Investigated persons were at the age of 43-72 (mean+SD for the exposed group 52,3 + 10,1 yrs for control group- 46,3 + 11,3 yrs). All studied persons participated by informed consent. Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples were obtained by a standard procedure (National. Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards, 1991). Flow...

The Supreme Court has recognized a constitutional right to bodily integrity that includes the right of a person to make voluntary and informed decisions about medical treatment." The government s concept of compassionate coercion appears to turn upside-down the individual s right to informed consent. All fifty states have laws that protect informed consent. These laws require that before performing medical procedures or treatments, medical personnel must make certain disclosures to patients and obtain the patient s consent." ... 

The underlying principle is that subjects should only participate in a clinical trial if they agree to do so after they have fully understood the trial and its implications. In all studies, informed consent must be obtained from the subject or, where special situations occur, from his or her representative. How this is achieved depends on the study design, procedure and the country where the study is being conducted. Typically, it requires a...

The investigator should prepare an informed consent form for every study to be performed at the institute and should obtain an approval by the IRB that covers the institute. GCP listed a dozen points to be covered by the informed consent (1C) form (see Table 23.6). The new GCP allows a reasonable amoimt of pa)unent to the patient, such as transport cost. Patients should allow clinical trial monitors, auditors, IRB members and inspectors from the regulatory authority to verify the source documents. This new requirement of obligatory written 1C is regarded as a...

Research on individuals from whom it is not possible to obtain consent, including proxy or advance consent, should be done only if the physical/mental condition that prevents obtaining informed consent is a necessary characteristic of the research population. The specific reasons for involving research subjects with a condition that renders them unable to give informed consent should be stated in the experimental protocol for consideration and approval of the review committee. The protocol should state that consent to remain in the research should be obtained as soon as possible from the individual or a legally authorized surrogate.
