Addressing Potential Exploitation In Clinical Research on Human Subjects
… made to the effect that clinical research on human subjects can be exploitative — and hence morally problematic — even if there is informed consent and in the absence of any harm. If such claims are true, it follows that research ethics bodies ought to include avoidance of exploitation amongst …

Modelling the respiratory control system in human subjects for excercise conditions
… behaviour of a highly complex system such as the human respiratory system. The research work presented in this thesis is concerned with the development of a nonlinear dynamic simulation model of the respiratory control system in human subjects for exercise conditions. Modelling the respiratory …

Direct Quantitation of Heat Loss in Human Subjects Using Infrared Thermography
… evaporative and total heat losses from subjects. The portable, non-contact, non-invasive nature of the IRT system makes it adaptable for use outside of the research setting. Heat loss measured by IRT and heat production obtained by indirect calorimetry (IC) were quantitated from human …

A study of iron kinetics in normal and abnormal human subjects
The work to be presented in this thesis took pl ace while I was working as a registrar in the department of radio-isotope diagnosis at Groote Schuur Hospital. During this period, I became interested in the ferrokinetic technique for attempting to quantitate normal and abnormal erythropoietis, and …

Assessment of State-Dependent Learning Effects Produced by Marijuana in Human Subjects.
Dissociative or state-dependent learning refers to a phenomenon characterized by a decrement in the retrieval of previously learned information when a special state present during acquisition is subsequently altered. This change in state is generally produced by a drug administered to the subject, …

Politics, infrastructure and non-human subjects: The Inka occupation of the Amaybamba cloud forests
… Not only was it central to exchanges between humans, but also with the most important non-human powers of the Inka world. These powers included major landscape entities, such as the mountains (apukuna) and other kinds of earth beings (often in the form of rock outcrops, or lakes, known as …

Does vergence influence the vestibulo-ocular reflex in human subjects rotating in the dark?
… acceleration stimuli, researchers instructed subjects to focus on a visual target while measuring the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in one eye. These experiments showed conclusively that the VOR is influenced by target distance. We, on the other hand, were interested in investigating the VOR …

Glucooligosaccharides and Fructooligosaccharides Alter Microbial Populations and Fermentation Characteristics in Animal Models and Human Subjects
… fructooligosaccharide (FOS), using dogs, human infants, and human toddlers. The first experiment measured in vitro fermentation of GOS and MD and also evaluated their effects on nutrient digestibility, gut microbial populations, and fecal characteristics in vivo. The second experiment …

Effect of a rapidly fermentable fiber on satiety, food intake, and tolerance in healthy human subjects.
… crossover study. On three separate occasions subjects consumed 0 g, 5 g, or 8 g of scFOS in a beverage and proceeded to use visual analogue scales (VAS) to rate satiety over four hours. Ad libitum energy intake was then assessed. Subjects later consumed a consistent dose in solid form. Energy …

Fiber Orientation Modeling: a Method to Improve Quantitation of Intramyocellular Lipids in Human Subjects at 7 Tesla
… from soleus and gastrocnemius muscle of healthy human subjects at 7T (Phillips Medical system, Cleveland, Ohio). All the spectra were fitted with the hybrid Voigt lineshape and the experimental lineshape. RESULTS: In simulated spectra with dominant angle of 00 to the applied field and little …

The Effect of a 20-25 calories % Fat Diet on Plasma Thromboxane B₂ Levels in Human Subjects
<p>Fourteen males with elevated blood lipids were given a 20-2.5 Calories % fat diet for 28 days. Fasting blood samples were drawn at zero, two, and four weeks and analyzed for plasma TXB₂ and serum lipids. Plasma TXB₂ was significantly increased the first two weeks with a subsequent decrease the …

Visualizing the Other: A Phenomenological Analysis of the Objectification of the Body in Biomedical Research Using Human Subjects
… history of biomedical research using healthy subjects, human subjects have been treated by some clinician-investigators as mere objects of study. This scientific objectification has led to some egregious violations of human dignity. This historical pattern of dehumanizing treatment indicates …

Comparison of Weight Reduction of Human Subjects Fed 1300 Calorie, Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian Diets with Two Levels of Carbohydrate
<p>The effects of 1300 calorie, high-polyunsaturated fat, lacto ovo- vegetarian diets with two carbohydrate levels (30 per cent and 50 per cent of the total calories) were observed in two matched twelve-subject groups over five week periods. Weight loss, satiety value, urinary ketone levels, as …

The Effect of a High Polyunsaturated, High Fiber, Lacto-Vegetarian Diet on the Serum Cholesterol and Serum Triglycerides in Human Subjects
<p>Fifteen male high risk coronary subjects were fed a lacto-vegetarian diet for 28 days. The diet was calculated with a P:S ratio of 4.0 or greater and the subjects received at least 10 g. of fiber per day. At weekly intervals, the blood was drawn and serum cholesterol and triglyceride …
