A Concise Guide to Clinical Trials by BMJ Books




Clinical trials have revolutionized the way disease is prevented, detected and treated, and early death avoided, and they continue to be an expanding area of research. They are central to the work of pharmaceutical companies, and there are many academic and public sector organizations that conduct trials on a wide variety of interventions, including drugs, devices, surgical techniques, and changes in behaviour and lifestyle.

A Concise Guide to Clinical Trials provides a comprehensive yet easy-to-read overview of the design, conduct and analysis of trials. It requires no prior knowledge on the subject as the important concepts are introduced throughout. There are chapters that distinguish between the different types of trials, and an introduction to systematic reviews, health-related quality of life and health economic evaluation. The book also covers the ethical and legal requirements in setting up a clinical trial due to an increase in governance responsibilities and regulations.

This practical guidebook is ideal for busy clinicians and other health professionals who do not have enough time to attend courses or search through extensive textbooks. It will help anyone involved in undertaking clinical research, or those reading about trials. The book is aimed at:

• Those wishing to learn about clinical trials for the first time, or as a quick reference guide, for example as part of a taught course on clinical trials

• Health professionals who wish to conduct their own trials, or participate in other people’s studies
• People who work in pharmaceutical companies, grant funding organisations, or regulatory agencies

Acidity Theory of Atherosclerosis - New Evidences by




Despite the continuous, massive and strident campaign against high cholesterol as the main responsible for the generation of coronary artery disease, with many and many studies seeking to confirm and reinforce this concept, old and recent research suggests that its precipitation can be a healing response of the body in front of the injury suffered by the endothelium.
This line of thought has had some weight in our ideas when we developed the Acidity Theory of Atherosclerosis in 2006. The story in details how we arrived at this theory was told in the book "Following the steps of a genious – A saga in medicine", 2011 (The English version of this book will be released soon).
In the present book we present a selection of articles. Among these are adressed the following points:
a) That most risk factors for atherosclerosis activates the sympathetic nervous system, for example, psychological stress, age, smoking, air pollution and diets with high carbohydrate content.
b) That in diseases associated with atherosclerosis, for example, diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction, occurs the sympathetic predominance.
c) The relationship between abnormal lactate metabolism with the highest concentration of lipids in the coronary arteries.
d) The elevation of lactic acid in the plasma as a link between atherosclerosis and other diseases.
