Treatments describing story

Assessing the effectiveness of alternative or complementary medical treatments is not easy. Those committed to scientifically proven treatments of the kind described in this chapter often dismiss them as little more than quackery even though they appear to work for some people. The subject is admirably dealt with in Toby Murcott s book The Whole Story alternative medicine on trial published in 2005. He concludes that if the issue of whether they are effective is to be resolved then a degree of humility is going to be required by those on both sides of the debate. [Pg.65]

Sackeim et al. (2007) also failed to address the real-life impact of these losses on individual patients and did not provide any clinical vignettes. Stating that shock treatment permanently reduces memory and cognitive function, and describing it statistically, failed to capture the manner in which the treatment destroyed the minds of these patients and wrecked their lives. That is why I opened the chapter with the story of Sarah Williams. [Pg.223]

In the story of numerical flow simulation, the ability to predict observed and significant viscoelastic flow phenomena of polymer melts and solutions in an abrupt contraction has been unsuccessful for many years, in relation to the incomplete rheological characterization of materials, especially in elongation. The numerical treatments have often been confined to flow of elastic fluids with constant viscosity, described by differential constitutive equations as the Upper Convected Maxwell and Oldroyd-B models. Fortunately, the recent possibility to use real elastic fluids with constant viscosity, the so-called Boger fluids [10], has narrowed the gap between experimental observation and numerical prediction [11]. [Pg.286]

This differs from the playwright s approach to a real life event, such as the Battle of Gallipoli. David Williamson s treatment of events in the Peter Weir film Gallipoli is very dramatic, and we do enter the story through the experience of two main characters. The treatment, however, is very different from the narrator approach earlier described for the docudrama. [Pg.180]

It was emphasized at the beginning of this article that analytical accuracy is crucial to diagnosis and treatment of many clinical conditions. As with IQC, the laboratory must have a clearly defined poHcy to describe action taken on receipt of a report from an EQA scheme. Those involved with organization of such schemes can provide many examples of horror stories where reports have been ignored or deliberately suppressed on receipt, rather than admit that a problem exists. This type of bad and potentially... [Pg.4088]

Wild rubber from Africa and Central and South America was the main source of rubber until about 1900. The increasing demand for rubber and this dependence on wild sources caused shameful practices in the treatment of the natives who collected it. Some worked in virtual slavery. Although somewhat overdrawn, those conditions are described in a book by Vicki Baum, The Weeping Wood (4). Somewhat earlier, Howard and Ralph Wolf described early collection methods for rubber and the difficult conditions for rubber factory workers in Rubber, A Story of Glory and Greed (17). These conditions and problems were gradually eliminated by the development of the rubber plantation industry. [Pg.1030]
