Q

What do Systematic reviews of health care interventions most often focus on?

A

RCTS`

17
Q

What warrants consideration of observational evidence?

A

used when randomized controlled trials are infeasible or raise ethical concerns, lack generalizability, or prove insufficient data

18
Q

What study limitations are there?

A

reduced risk of selection, detection, performance and attrition

19
Q

Observational Evidence domains (5)

A
  • Study limitations
  • Directness
  • Consistency
  • Precision
  • Reporting bias
20
Q

What types of reporitng bias’ are there?

A

publication
selective outcome reporting,
selective analysis reporting

21
Q

Additional domains of dose-response association

A

plausible confounding that would decrease the observed effect, and strength of association (magnitude effect).

22
Q

Describe Proof

A

*Proof exists in your own mind only.
* Proof of anything exists in what you hold
to be logical.
* Those that believe in Universal Intelligence look at the evidence and say of course there’s a Universal Intelligence.
* All the non believers look at the same evidence and say of course there isn’t.
* Both are taking it on faith.
* If it was provable then there would be an issue. The whole concept is on intangibility, of something that is infinite.

23
Q

Is universal intelligence god?

A

Is the major premise trying to define God?

  • Chiropractic makes the statement that the universe exists in such a way that displays intelligence, and because of this intelligence, the universe continues to exist because of it.
  • You don’t need to be religious to believe in this statement. This comes from a position of rspect and not one of worship.
  • This non-religious point of Chiropractic was further dissected by Dr. B.J. Palmer
  • Chiropractic is a Philosophy, Science, and Art of things Natural:
  • “The words ‘things natural’ are designedly used to exclude and eliminate any intervention of a supernatural or divine character. In other words, to exclude miracles in the strict sense of the word; to distinguish Chiropractic from religion or any healing of a miraculous kind.”
24
Q

Explain Atom

A

All physical matter of the universe is comprised of atoms.
* Every atom has a nucleus which is positively charged.
* Orbiting around it are electrons which are negatively charged.
* The number of electrons differentiates one substance from another.
* Atoms are units of energy.

25
Q

Who made the observation that matter an energy are interchangeable.

A

Enrico Fermi

26
Q

What did Albert Einstein give towards matter and energy?

A

agreed but gave the formula to do so.
* E = mc2

27
Q

energy bound up into
little packages called atoms

A

Matter

28
Q

an Intelligent design

A

The watchmaker analogy

29
Q

The watchmaker analogy

A

Pretend you had never seen or heard of a wrist watch.You find one lying on the side of the road and you examine it.
* You take the back off and see wheels turning, relating to each other, cogs slipping in together, diamonds at exactly the stress points.
* I don’t know what you’d think but i do know you would never believe it was made by accident.
* One day a whole bunch of rocks and glass and stone and diamonds fell down off a mountain top and by some luck they came into this shape.
* That is stretching the bounds of coincidence a little too far isn’t it?
* Well thats how I feel about the universe.
* William Paley in his 1802 book Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity.

* Number of steps match a consecutive pair
* 3-5cone

Fruits and Veggies
* Pineapple
* Cauliflower

Tree branches
* Main trunk to branch
* 1 growth point to 2
* Root systems and algae

Spiral Galaxies
*The Milky Way has several spiral arms, each of them a logarithmic spiral of about 12 degrees

Faces
* The mouth and nose are each positioned at golden sections of the distance between the eyes and the bottom of the chin.
* Similar proportions can be seen from the side, and even the eye and ear itself (Which follows along a spiral).

Animal bodies
*The measurement from the navel to the floor and the top of the head to the navel is the golden ratio
* Dolphins (the eye, fins and tail all fall at golden sections)

  • ReproductiveDynamics
  • Honeybees
  • Dividing the number of females in a colony by the number of males is typically close to 1.618
37
Q
