Cohen and Markman are, respectively, director of the integrative medicine program and vice president of clinical research at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. They examine the work being done there and four other cancer centers in combining conventional cancer treatments: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation etc., with traditional treatments: botanicals, acupuncture, massage, and mind-body exercises such as meditation and yoga among others. After comparing how these are used at each center and making the novel suggestion that the patient be involved in the decision-making process, there are informative reports on trials done on the effects of these non-conventional treatments, especially the possibility of adverse interactions with established ones.

Conditions such as oxidative stress and hypoxia, which have a generalized impact on the oxygen metabolism, have been implicated in the genesis of kidney disease. This means that deepening our understanding of the pathobiology of oxygen metabolism in such diseases could be a fruitful path towards tangible clinical benefits. Studies in Renal Disorder collects reviews from leading researchers and clinical scientists working in exactly this field, providing an overview of the latest advances. The causal role of impaired oxygen metabolism in kidney disease has numerous clinical implications. It affects our understanding of the therapeutic benefits accruing from anti- hypertensive agents; the way we control hyperglycemia/hyp erinsulinemia and hyperlipidemia; and our use of dietary approaches to...

Good Clinical Practice Standard Operating Procedures for Clinical Researchers Edited by Josef Kolman MPRC - Medical Pharmaceutical Research Center Ltd. Vienna, Austria Paul Meng PMC - Dr Paul Meng Consultant, Vienna, Austria and Graeme Scott Professional Services in Clinical Research, Edinburgh, Scotland There is a growing trend for investigators to adopt a more formal approach to the procedures applied to various stages of clinical trials. Most environments employ some form of standard operating procedures which are designed to be used as 'working tools' within that particular field, e.g. standard operating procedures in hospitals for doctors and nurses. With rigorous standards of good clinical practice being applied to all areas, optimizing the design and use of standard operating... Less

The use of reflection as a tool to support and develop practice is becoming increasingly recognised across education, healthcare and the social sciences. Reflection is assumed to create depth of knowledge and meaning, both for self and those practised upon. Running alongside the use of reflection is the prevalent use of action research which some see as a way of approaching the study of human beings from a philosophical perspective, in which sharing takes place within mutually supportive environments. As a result, many academics and practitioners suggest that one cannot improve the methodology of action research without considering philosophical reflection. In Action Research and Reflective Practice, the author argues that reflective practice and action research can become mechanistic in... Less
