A newspaper story in Knight Ridder Newspapers described an experiment in an article with the headline “Doctor Dogs Diagnose Canc

er by Sniffing It Out.” In the experiment researchers trained dogs to identify people with breast or lung cancer. The dogs were trained to lay down if they detected cancer in a breath sample. After the training, dogs sniffed different breath samples of people with and without cancer. Impartial observers watched the dogs and decided when the dog identified a person as having cancer. Researchers then revealed the condition of the person who gave the breath sample and determined if the dog had correctly identified the presence of cancer. The newspaper states, “The researchers blinded both the dog handlers and the experimental observers to the identity of the breath samples.” What is meant by the last sentence?

Answer: Double blind clinical trial

Explanation:

The situation that is seen here is double blind clinical trail in which neither the participant nor the practitioner knows who is receiving the treatment.

This is used to prevent biasing in the experiment which is caused due to demand characteristics or placebo effect.

Here, in this situation the dog handlers and the experimental observer both were blinded to identify the breath sample.

Answer:

Double blind clinical trial

Explanation:

In this article, the author tells us that neither the researchers nor the dog handlers knew the identity of the samples. This means that such a trial was a double blind clinical trial. A double blind clinical trial is one in which the patients, as well as the researchers, are unaware of the group that each sample belongs to. In general, this information is only revealed once the trial has finished in order to ensure that it does not interfere with the trial itself.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The correct option is;

-Eccentric Contraction

Explanation:

The releasing of the muscles slowly to become longer under the effect of a load is known as eccentric contraction

An example of eccentric contraction is the elongation of the curl biceps as the load of the dumbbell is lowered down after lifting, such that while in the process of lowering rather than dropping the dumbbell down the biceps remain in contraction so as to maintain control of the descent

Along with eccentric contraction, isometric contraction and concentric contraction make up the three  phases of muscles and tendon movement.

How is social helth mintained?
frozen [14]

Answer:

i recommend going out to socialize with others often. try to be friendly and approachable. also, i suggest you stay well groomed (take shower often, brush teeth, etc) before you stink up the others or scare them off with your smell.

do not lock yourself in your house, away from all other human beings for almost a year. there's a possibility you will lose some communication and act crazed and blasty when you finally come into contact with others. speaking from experience.
