Complementary and Alternative medicine (CAM) is a highly visible part of contemporary health care and has got an important role in palliative cancer care (Pal and Mittal, 2003). No longer restricted to the lay sector and the medical fringe, such practices can be found in mainstream hospitals and cancer centers (Pal, 2002a). In the United States and in other more developed countries many millions of patients spend billions of dollars each year on complementary and alternative medicine (Vicker and Cassileth, 2001). Many alternative cancer therapies like antineoplastons, hydrazine sulphate, shark cartilage, Cancell, Coenzyme Q 10, 714X are very popular in USA (Schraub, 2000; Cassileth and Chapman, 1996; Shukla and Pal, 2004).

متن کاملProactive Safety Assessment in Roadwork Zones: a Synthesis of Surrogate Measures of Safety
Work zone safety studies have traditionally relied on historical crash records—an approach which is reactive in nature as it requires crashes to accumulate first before taking any preventive actions.
