Leptin. Leptin is produced by fat cells and released when your body has enough fat in storage. When leptin reaches the brain, it gives your body a feeling of fullness so that you will not want to continue eating. Individuals with leptin resistance, where the leptin hormone signals are not received as they should be, are often overweight because they do not have the same brain signals telling them that their body is full.

A television advertisement claims that a certain brand of cough drop reduces coughing for 8 hours. Describe an investigation tha

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Study Design - Partially double-blinded study

The cohort study will be composed of 80 adults (aged ≥18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of constant coughing present as a result of a cold, which would be measured by semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor.

This study will be divided into an experimental group and a control group:

No medication (natural drops; e.g. water; saline solution) - Control group
Cough treatment - Experimental group

Data to be collected:

Participant cough will be recorded every hour (until 8 hours are reached) for two consecutive days (for repetitions) in both groups using semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor and analyzed statistically.

Observations:

Experimental group: If coughing is significantly (statistical analysis) reduced within the 8 hours (after repetitions) and a symptom improvement is observed, the hypothesis that cough drops are effective is valid.

Control group: To determine that cough drops treatment is effective, the no-treatment group should score worst and participant should not show significant improvement.

*In scientific experiments, repetitions are important to prevent bias and error.
