Ethics of Clinical Trial

Category : Uncategorized

What makes clinical trial ethical? [Notes from Clinical Research Training Program of NIH]

  • Collaborative partnership: To be ethical, clinical research must involve the community in which it occurs.
  • Social Value: To be valuable, clinical research must lead to improvements in health or advancement in generalizable knowledge.
  • Scientific Validity:
  • Fair Subject selection:
  • Favourable Risk/Benefit ration:
  • Independent Review: Independent review helps to minimize the influence of potential conflicts of interest that you will encounter as a Principal Investigator and it also assures society that your study will not benefit from the abuse of your subjects.
  • Informed consent:
  1. Purpose and duration of participation
  2. Risks
  3. Benefits
  4. Alternatives
  5. Voluntariness and right to withdraw without penalty
  6. Confidentiality of records
  7. Compensation for injuries
  8. Person to contact for answers to questions
  • Respect for human subjects:

Google Desktop
I was very impressed with Google picasa. I do not know how they manage to pack so many useful features into such small software. Today I decided to try their next product DESKTOP. The installation was not very event free as I expected. My laptop crashed during the installation (Probably because of bad network connectivity during installation). It failed to start with windows. So I had to manually add it to startup. However it installed without any problems in my Desktop. DeskTop is for desktop only? 🙂
One function I would have liked in this product is the capacity to index CDs. Right now I am using another software for this. Probably I may have to use the same for some more time. It will also be useful if the To Do list has a provision to enter time and a reminder function.
It has the ability to search contents on My Documents and web history on another computer. However my shared folder was not My documents. To make full use of this functionality I transferred my shared folder to My Documents which unfortunately was not an easy thing to do.

Battle of Wesnoth

Battle of Wesnoth.
Today I installed the GNU freeware game Battle of Wesnoth. Though I adore Age of Empires and European war Cossack, I have never played a good turn based strategy game before. There is a well designed training module and it is easy to learn. The network support is also good. A nice game to play in the clinic when you are bored. Since it is turn based, you can go and see the patients in between without affecting the game.

Home Networking

Category : Uncategorized

Finally I figured out the correct settings for connecting my Desktop and Laptop to the DSL modem. Desktop is connected through network card. A static ip was given over the DHCP range (192.168.254.101) The DNS server was set to the DSL modem’s ip (192.168.254.254) and NetBIOS was set to ‘Enable over TCP/IP’. Default gateway was set to the ip of modem. All the devices should start with 192.168.254.xxx. Laptop is connected through wireless card. Ip and DNS were set to DHCP and NetBIOS was left to DHCP server. Now both are working fine.
