New PDF release: Epilepsy: The Intersection of Neurosciences, Biology,
Epilepsy, some of the most frequent neurological issues, impacts nearly 1% (greater than 60 million) of the world's inhabitants. In an envisioned 20 million of those sufferers, seizures are usually not managed even via a number of anti-seizure medications, and are super tough to foretell. Epilepsy: The Intersection of Neurosciences, Biology, arithmetic, Engineering, and Physics seamlessly brings jointly the neurosciences, arithmetic, computational sciences, engineering, physics, and medical epileptology to offer to readers a hugely didactic, built-in, transparent and essentially important wisdom base and study instructions.

Example text
Objective effects are pharmacological effects that can be directly observed by others. In other words, a researcher can independently measure the drug’s effects. For example, psychostimulant drugs increase heart rate. 4). Subjective effects are pharmacological effects that cannot be directly observed by others. In other words, we cannot observe or measure another’s drug experience. Researchers measure subjective effects by asking study participants to describe a drug’s effects. The inability to independently observe subjective effects provides important scientific limitations.
Without harmful effects to fetuses in pregnant mice, European physicians prescribed the thalidomide to pregnant women suffering from morning sickness. However, thalidomide proved severely harmful to human fetuses. 6). In humans, but not in mice, thalidomide was metabolically broken down into teratogens, substances harmful to a fetus. Had drug developers tested thalidomide in rabbits, which do convert thalidomide into this teratogen, doctors would not have prescribed thalidomide to pregnant women.
