Chinese Regulation Of Traditional Chinese Medicine In The Modern World: Can The Chinese Effectively Profit From One Of Their Most Valuable Cultural Resources?, Teresa Schroeder Jun 2002

Chinese Regulation Of Traditional Chinese Medicine In The Modern World: Can The Chinese Effectively Profit From One Of Their Most Valuable Cultural Resources?, Teresa Schroeder

Washington International Law Journal

The global demand for traditional Chinese medicine ("TCM") has exploded in the last thirty years. Demand for TCM products increased both domestically in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") and internationally. However, the stigma of "witch doctoring" associated with TCM remains. Several developed nations have established national and local regulation of TCM practitioners to protect their citizens from dangerous treatments. After almost forty years of virtually unregulated endorsement of TCM, China recently began its own standardization of TCM products and practice. The question must be asked, what inspired such a dramatic and rapid change in Chinese policy? The geyser of …

Evolution Of Land Reform In Russia: The 2001 Land Code And Its Impact On The Commercial Real Estate Market And Direct Foreign Investment, Dana Tumenova Jun 2002

Evolution Of Land Reform In Russia: The 2001 Land Code And Its Impact On The Commercial Real Estate Market And Direct Foreign Investment, Dana Tumenova

Washington International Law Journal

Russia unambiguously established private land ownership when it adopted the 2001 Land Code, which, although limited to urban and commercial land, clarifies the concept of land ownership in general and allows foreign ownership of those lands. The Land Code permits security interests in commercial and industrial land, which should further stimulate Russia's commercial real estate market, an important component of a functioning market economy. Perhaps the greatest strength of the new Land Code is its provision for foreign ownership, which allows foreign investors to conduct business according to the Western standards without being forced to engage in bribery or other …

Crossed Aphasia : Report Of Two Cases, Chih-Hsiang Ho, Fan-Fei Tseng, Liu-Ing Bih, Shu-Fen Tseng

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Crossed aphasia is defined as aphasia due to right hemisphere lesion in dextrals. It is a rare syndrome. It was reported first time in 1899, then it elicited much discussion and studies. Nowadays the pathophysiology of crossed aphasia is still unclear. According to the site of lesion and the characteristics of language, crossed aphasia can be divided into two types. Type I is ”mirror – image”, the features are similar to the left hemisphere lesions. Type II is ”anomalous”, the language features are different from the typical left hemisphere aphasia. The studies of this syndrome are very rare in our …

The Pitfall Of Low Back Pain - Psoas Abscess, Pei-Dery Sheu, Jue-Long Wang, Shwu-Fen Sun, Chiao-Wen Hwang, Kuen-Huang Chen Jun 2002

The Pitfall Of Low Back Pain - Psoas Abscess, Pei-Dery Sheu, Jue-Long Wang, Shwu-Fen Sun, Chiao-Wen Hwang, Kuen-Huang Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The clinical presentation of psoas abscess is variable and nonspecific. The triad of fever, flank pain, and limitation of hip movement, which is specific for psoas abscess, is present in only less than 30% of the cases. Therefore, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, resulting in the high mortality and morbidity, is not uncommon. A primary psoas abscess has no obvious focus of infection. It is believed that hematogeneous spread occurs from an occult source, analogous to acute osteomyelitis. Hematoma due to trauma may be the pathogenesis. The most common pathogen is staphylococcus. Secondary psoas abscess is defined as occurring by direct …

Acute Urinary Retention Associated With Herpes Zoster : A Casereport, Jyh-Yuh Ke, Chia-Ying Chung, Fuk-Tan Tang, Ming-Che Chao, May-Kuan Wong

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Urinary retention is an uncommon complication of herpes zoster infection. It may happen secondary to a neurogenic bladder when the sacral dorsal root ganglia are involved. As a result, painful vesicular eruptions spreading over sacral dermatomes, such as buttock and perineum, may develop. Bladder and/or bowel dysfunction may occur as well, including urinary retention, constipation, and/or incontinence. The herpes zoster lesions usually have an unilateral dermatomal distribution. A 55-year-male patient with herpes zoster infection involving bilateral S2-S4 dermatomes is demonstrated. Acute urinary retention occurred 2 days before skin vesicular eruptions. His urine analysis revealed normal finding. Urodynamic study was taken …

Prosthetic Fabrication Of Elbow Disarticulations: A Casereport, Wai-Keung Lee, Chien-Jung Wang, Tong-Chu Chen, Li-Ting Liu, Li-Chang Chang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Elbow disarticulation(ED) is very rare in upper limb amputation. Traditionally prosthetic fabrication of ED is fitted with a medial window on the socket for the bulbous distal residual limb to pass through. Afterwards, closing of the medial window is followed for suspension, which usually raises cosmetic concerns on the client's part. This casereport aims to introduce a double socket fabricating method to address the above-mentioned issue to promote the client's life quality and ADL independence.

Equality And Diversity, Chandran Kukathas Jun 2002

Equality And Diversity, Chandran Kukathas

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

The foundations of human inequality lie in the fact of human diversity, or in the human tendency to differentiate from some while associating with others to form groups. The diversity which results from association and differentiation makes equality unattainable. Diversity and equality are incompatible, and attempts to promote one can only be made at the expense of the other. In these circumstances, we should abandon the ideal of equality as incapable of offering us an adequate understanding of the nature of the good society.

Whose Duty Is It Anyway?: The Kennedy Krieger Opinion And Its Implications For Public Health Research, Diane E. Hoffmann, Karen H. Rothenberg

Faculty Scholarship

In this article, the authors discuss the Maryland Court of Appeals decision in the case of Grimes v. Kennedy Krieger Institute, Inc. and its implications for the tort duty owed by researchers, in particular public health researchers, to their subjects. The Opinion resulted from two lawsuits alleging lead poisoning of children enrolled in a study conducted by the Kennedy Krieger Institute, a world renown pediatric research and treatment facility. The opinion shocked the research establishment with its scathing characterization of researchers and its apparent holding that in Maryland a parent cannot consent to the participation of a child in "nontherapeutic …
