If the chemical-imbalance theory is wrong, and if depression is not a brain disease, how is it produced and how can it be prevented and treated One way to look for clues is to examine the process by which we were misled into the realm of chemistry. There is a culprit hiding in the history of the chemical-imbalance theory - a culprit that is guilty of leading doctors and patients astray over and over again in the history of medicine. The culprit is the placebo effect, and its darker twin, the nocebo effect. Depressed people got better when given MAO and reuptake inhibitors as antidepressants, and this led researchers to conclude that depression must be caused by a chemical deficiency. But much (if not all) of that improvement turns out to be a placebo effect. So to understand depression and how it might be treated effectively, we need to examine the placebo effect more carefully. That is the topic of the next two chapters. [Pg.100]

Sulfur compounds are most commonly removed or converted to a harmless form by chemical treatment with lye. Doctor solution, copper chloride, or similar treating agents (Speight, 1999). Hydrorefining processes (Speight, 1999) are also often used in place of chemical treatments. When used as a solvent, naphtha is selected for its low sulfur content and the usual treatment processes remove only sulfur compounds. Naphtha, with its small aromatic content, has a slight odor, but the aromatics increase the solvent power of the naphtha and there is no need to remove aromatics unless odor-free naphtha is specified. [Pg.259]

Other waste streams from the process result from water washing of the treated product and regeneration of the treating solution such as sodium plumbite (Na2Pb02) in doctor sweetening. These waste streams contain small amounts of oil and the treating material, such as sodium plumbite (or copper from copper chloride sweetening). [Pg.252]

Opium has been used as a medicine for hundreds of years, inevitably creating countless addicts. Scientists have conducted a never-ending search for effective cures for opium addiction, morphine addiction (morphinism), and heroin addiction. For most of its history, opium addiction was treated as a disease with no cure, and doctors concerned themseives with treating the symptoms of addiction rather than the root cause. As a result, other opiates were used to lessen the effects of withdrawal. The addict is placed on a regimen of opiates that slowly decrease over time, weaning the addict from his or her addiction. This process of treatment is still used today. [Pg.52]

When downward-draining formulas are used to treat acute abdominal syndromes, such as acute intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, cholecystitis and pancreatitis, it is also important to remember that these herbs are only suitable for certain periods in the whole pathological process of the disease, or certain types of disorder. These formulas should only be prescribed by doctors after modern medical examination. [Pg.56]

Electrofining a process for contacting a light hydrocarbon stream with a treating agent (acid, caustic, doctor, etc.), then assisting the action of separation of the chemical phase from the hydrocarbon phase by an electrostatic field. [Pg.431]

For the past century, radioactive isotopes have become a part of our daily lives. We find them in smoke detectors, in the irradiation process that makes food safer, in carbon 14 dating which tells archeologists when an organism died, and often in the field of medicine. Doctors use radioactive isotopes, or tracers to identify diseases and treat them. [Pg.22]

Following removal of H2S, the common processes either (o) oxidize the mercaptans to disulfides as in doctor-treating, (6) remove practically all sulfur compounds including mercaptans as in acid-, clay-, or catalytic-treating, or (c) extract all or a part of the mercaptans without substantially affecting other sulfur compounds. Processes of the first type involve liquid-liquid contacting and can be carried out in equipment similar to that... [Pg.352]

In the same period, an alcohol-based WO3 nanoparticle suspension method was demonstrated by Stubhan et al to function as an HTL in OSCs with both normal and inverted device architectures. The suspension of 7 nm particle size WO3 can be formed on different substrates by a doctor blading method with a surfaee roughness rms around 6 nm. The WO3 NPs HTL was treated by a temperature annealing process at 80 °C for 5 minutes and provided a work ftmction of 5.35 eV. As shown in Figure 7.20, OSCs using WO3 NPs as HTL can provide comparable performance for both the normal and inverted device architectures. [Pg.257]
