Conducting Investigations


How Science Work

In many science textbooks, they always tend to introduce scientific method. Many can misinterpret it as something as easy as a cookbook but science is complex and can not be a single prepackaged recipe. Many scientific investigations tend to repeat the same steps to gain new information and ideas. Science studies are not done once by just one scientists but are rather done by many and is shared to the scientific community. The process of science is never quite boring, it often relies on many to think outside the box and think creatively. A conclusion can always be edited, its not just not something that's final and  can't be changed. I had received all the information from this article.



Corn Lab
While in this I learned the way of creating your own lab by controlling what is going to happen and in the lab I noticed that when the level of ECB infestation was high the corn would die. When the infestation was low the corn would grow very well. The high infestation is to much for the corn to handle and it wouldn't be able to survive through it. I also had to make sure they had the same amount of sun and water.In both pots for the two different corn variety's BT 456 and golden crop they grew well with the low infestations. 

Clinical Trial
1.) The name of the study I had chosen was Comparing Efficacy and Safety Between Eperisone a BID and a TID Regimen in Acute Low Back Pain Patients.
2.) The purpose of the study is for the Multi-center Study to Compare Efficacy and Safety between Eperisone a BID and a TID Regimen in Acute Low Back Pain Patients during 7 day time period.
3.) The protocol that will be followed is for both men and women between the ages of 20 and 60 years old, they must not be healthy and has symptoms of acute lower back pain. The treatment that is being investigated is Eperisone a BID and a TID Regimen. It is administered by taking a 50mg tablet after breakfast and dinner, and pacebo tablet after the lunch for 7 days. The controls is the amount of medication given each day and the amount of days it was given. The duration of the study was February of  2013 up until July of 2013. The results will be determined by knowing efficacy and Safety between Eperisone a BID and a TID Regimen in Acute Low Back Pain Patients during 7 days.
4.) A double-blind trial is a scientific experiment where some of the people involved are prevented from knowing certain information that might lead to conscious or unconscious bias on their part, invalidating the results. 
5.) Both male and female between the ages of 20 and 60 years old are eligible to participate in the study.

Clinical Trials 
Clinical trials are when participants receive specific interventions that follows a research plan. A clinical
trial is usually to test weather or not one medication is working, they can also test other situations. When a new product or approach is being studied, it is not usually known whether it will be helpful, harmful, or no different than available alternatives that is when the trials come in. The outcome of the patient is measured to know weather it is safe and effective. Some clinical trials may be compared to a new medical approach to a standard one that is already available.
