The biomedical model focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases by viewing them as physical abnormalities in the body. It emphasizes biological factors as the primary cause of illness and relies heavily on medical interventions such as medications and surgery to address health issues. It often overlooks the impact of social, psychological, and environmental factors on health.
The glucose meters from Liberty Medical seem to be pretty reliable. Each company of course has it's ups and downs in a product, but the meters with liberty medical seem pretty great and a good quality.
The rat gall bladder is significant in medical research because it is used as a model for studying gallstone formation and related diseases in humans. Researchers can study the development and treatment of gallstones by examining the rat gall bladder, providing valuable insights into human health.
According to the Watson-Crick model, DNA is a double helix structure made up of two complementary strands that are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases. The four nitrogenous bases are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. DNA is a stable molecule due to the hydrogen bonding between base pairs and the helical structure that protects the genetic information stored within the molecule.

case-based model
An illness.
It is a model that assumes, that every mental illness has its biological (physiological) basis-- it's an effect of chemical inbalance in the brain, physical abnormality in the brain or genetical abnormality. According to the model treatment of mental disorders should include medicines, electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) and psychosurgery. A disadvantage of the model is that does not take into account psychological problems underlying an illness. Additionally, drugs do not cure the illness, they only give a temporary relief from the symptoms. Medical model treatment is certainly helpful, but it should not be the only way of treating mental disorders-- it needs to be combined with some sort of psychotherapy (e.g. cognitive-behavioural etc.)

difference between holistic and medical models
The Medical model of Health Care presupposes the existence of illness or disease. Emphasizes clinical diagnosis and medical interventions. Health in this model is defined as absence of illness or disease
The medical model of mental disorder posits that mental illnesses arise primarily from biological or physiological factors, such as genetic predispositions, neurochemical imbalances, or structural abnormalities in the brain. This model emphasizes the importance of diagnosing and treating mental disorders similarly to physical illnesses, often focusing on pharmacological interventions. It tends to downplay or overlook psychological, social, and environmental influences that may also contribute to mental health issues. Overall, the medical model seeks to identify specific causes and implement treatments based on those findings.
The justice model.
While built around a medical model, the social model provides a social focus to service delivery.
The biological model views psychological disorders as resulting from abnormalities in brain structure, neurotransmitter imbalances, or genetic predispositions. It emphasizes the role of biological factors in the development and expression of mental health conditions.
The biopsychosocial model of abnormality holds that physical, mental, and cultural factors all play a role in the development of psychological disorders. This model emphasizes the importance of considering a person's biology, psychology, and social environment when understanding and treating mental health issues.
