Could there be a way for consumers to gain information on their predisposition to diseases or to tailor fit health care according to their genetic predisposition? Due to the onset of high technology, it is now possible for people to acquire their genetic information through direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing of personal genetic (PG) and personal genomic (PGM) testing. This is especially useful when they want to be knowledgeable about their inherited susceptibility to disease or to have disease treatment tailored fit. Direct to consumer genetic testing has both risks and potential benefits. I believe that consumers should have direct access ...

However, although these factors are highly interdependent, prior researches only focused on either creativity or innovation. No fundamental attempts were made to study how certain leadership behaviors simultaneously affect these two aspects on different levels. Former researches examined how transformational leadership or leader-member relationship influenced employee creativity. As it was ...

Studies show that odor perception is directly related to the condition and functioning of the orbitofrontal cortex. The olfactory abilities of an otherwise normal human being can be largely impaired by neurological diseases as well as brain injuries. Moreover, scientists have also found that the ability to identify smells is often closely linked to functional brain activity levels. Killgore and Associates (2007) conducted a study to showcase the effectiveness of odor detection tests in predicting susceptibility to sleep deprivation as measured through Personality Tests. This experiment sought to prove that a small olfactory test can be a good predictor of emotional and ...

Article Summary

In this article, King, (2010), explores how general practice nurses (GPNs) and general practitioners (GPs) can work with CROs (Contract Research Organizations) and also how patients are selected in participation in clinical trials. The trend in patient treatment leans towards personalized treatment. This is because patients respond individually to treatment as a result of various factors like genetic make-up, status of disease, sex and age. Research processes are investigating the application of matching genetic makeup and drugs. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) ask patients for voluntary blood samples which are analyzed for drug responsiveness which are then matched with ...
