Document Summary

Many studies have found no difference between acupuncture and sham acupuncture. Regular acupuncture done by professionals, needles done in the right spots and targets specific areas. Sham acupuncture done by those who either are not as experienced, or places them on the wrong points of the body. Cochrane review (furlan et al. , 2011) of 35 randomized clinical trials of acupuncture for low back pain saw small effects immediately after session and short-term follow up. More effective than sham treatment, not more effective than conventional or other alternative treatment. However, it is focused on treating all problems, rather than zeroing in on something specific. Didn"t necessarily seem that it worked better, no side effects; almost completely safe. Proposed that acupuncture might release endorphins, which inhibits/relieves pain in the body. May be effective for some types of pain and not for others. Based on idea that misalignments of bones and joints can interfere with homeostasis of body.

Magic bullets are drugs that can beadministered on a micro local scale. In this contextadministration/binding would occur in or near the tumour byexploiting the different surface antigens that cancers expose.Basic lectures teach that a "magic bullt" drug could attach via anmAb (attached to the pro-drug) and then a conjugated enzyme cleavesor converts the pro drug to a drug. This would eliminate a lot ofside effects from chemotherapy.

Use in clinical trials. Some mAbs have startedto be used in clinical trials, almost 40 years after they werefirst proposed. My question is simply; have there been any cases ofmAbs being used as a successful treatment for any disease? If not,what makes the R&D of this drug type so difficult?
