In(cid:3)lecture(cid:3)we(cid:3)select(cid:3)more(cid:3)focussed(cid:3)aspects(cid:3)or(cid:3) p examples(cid:3)of(cid:3)the(cid:3)study(cid:3)unit,(cid:3)and(cid:3)bring(cid:3)out(cid:3)the(cid:3) complexity(cid:3)and(cid:3)uncertainty(cid:3)that(cid:3)is(cid:3)not(cid:3)generally(cid:3) portrayed(cid:3)in(cid:3)textbooks.

The research funding organizations of canada and the usa. The experimental systems of medical and healthcare research. The categories of experimental model" systems for human medical and health research are: A simulations with mathematic models/computer (in silico: simulations with mathematic models/computer (in silico), mechanical and chemical techniques, in vitro and ex-vivo models (cell culture and related technologies, animal models, people (human subjects) Human subjects in clinical trials are always volunteers! Non-intervention studies: (cid:131) subjects are not given a medicinal treatment. (cid:131) can not be used to predict/prove cause and effect" of a medicinal l d ff t" f d t di t/ di i. C substance. t b (cid:131) predicts associations/correlations" ie. consumption of tomato products is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.
