Safety, effectiveness and quality: Scientific evidence from tests done to evaluate
the safety and effectiveness of traditional medicine products and practices is limited.
While evidence shows that acupuncture, some herbal medicines and some manual
therapies (e.g. massage) are effective for specific conditions, further study of products
and practices is needed.
WHO and its Member States cooperate to promote the use of traditional
medicine for health care. The collaboration aims to support and integrate traditional
medicine into national health systems in combination with national policy and
regulation for products, practices and providers to unsure safety and quality; unsure the
use of safe, effective and quality products and practices, based on available evidence;
acknowledge traditional medicine as part of primary health care, to increase access to
care and preserve knowledge and resources; and ensure patient safety by upgrading the
skills and knowledge of traditional medicine providers.

READING
Dr. Gillian Henderson
My name is Dr. Henderson. I’m a cardiologist at a London hospital. The highly
trained team of which I am part deals with the diagnosis, investigation and treatment of
patients with all forms of heart disease, including cardiac transplantation and some
sorts of vascular disease.
None of our work would be possible without the support of other people in the
hospital team – the triage nurses, the receptionists, and so on. Their work is vital to the
smooth running of the department. When patients arrive for the first time, personal
information is taken: name, address, telephone numbers, next of kin for contact in case
of emergency, and other information such as their GP’s name and address, their NSH
number, and their unique hospital number.
We deal with a large catchment area and also deal with referrals from outside
the area, tourists, visitors to A&E, private patients, and so on, so the potential from
confusion is great unless the data that are taken are accurate and the systems secure.
At various stages of patients contact with the hospital, information is checked to
make sure it is correct and that the patients can confirm their identity. For example, on
arrival at a clinic patients might be asked their GP’s name or part of their telephone
number, for example the last three numbers. Then during the consultation a nurse or a
doctor might also ask their date of birth. All this is for the benefit of the patient to
ensure the hospital team does not make mistakes and people do not use patients’ details
fraudulently.
We can then turn to dealing with the patient’s treatment in safety.
All of the statements below are true. Find information in the passage above to support
each statement.
1. Dr. Henderson’s team is very skilled.
2. The work of her team depends on the support of other people.
3. Details about the closest relative are taken from patients.
4. Patients have two numbers (other than their phone number) on their hospital records.
5. The data collected need to be accurate.
6. Checks are carried out to make sure patients are who they say they are.

A. Numerous problems
B. Decreased implementation
C. Many different uses
D. Rejection by the medical community
Passage 2: Read the following text and circle the correct answer:
A new hearing device is now available for some hearing-impaired people. This
device uses a magnet to hold a detachable sound-processing portion in place. Like
other aids it converts sounds into vibrations. But what is unique is that it can transmit
the vibrations directly to the magnet, and then to the inner ear. This produces a clearer
sound. The new device will not help all hearing-impaired people, only those with a
hearing loss caused by infection or other problems in the middle ear. It will probably
help no more than 20 percent of all people with hearing problems. Those people,
however, who often have persistent ear infections should find relief and restored
hearing with the new device.
1. What’s the author’s main purpose?
A. To describe a new cure for ear infections
B. To inform medical personnel of a new device
C. To urge doctors to use a new device
D. To explain the use of the magnet
2. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. this use of magnet is new
B. infections are in the inner ear
C. magnets can be dangerous for 80% of people
D. the new device is smaller than the old ones.
3. According to the passage, what does the device not do?
A. transmit sound to the inner ear B. help all hearing –impaired people
C. produce clearer sound D. change sounds to vibrations
4. The sound-processing unit __________.
A. is a magnet B. is placed in the middle ear
C. helps cure infections D. can be removed
5. The word “relief” in the last sentence means___________.
A. less distress B. assistance C. distraction D. relaxation

LISTENING
Medical Equipment
When hearing the term “medical equipment”, a typical layman, whose only
knowledge about health care comes from an annual check-up at a local surgery and TV
shows such as 'House, M.D.' or 'ER', might think of complex devices like
a………1……….. . However, medical equipment might refer to both very complex
devices used by professionals as well as to simple instruments which you might even
use yourself.
Imagine you wake up in the morning with a terrible headache, feeling feverish.
You quickly phone the boss and say you need a day off, then grab a ……2………….
to take the temperature. Gosh, it's 102 degrees Fahrenheit! You really need to go to the
doctor's. After you arrive at your local clinic and wait some time in a queue, the GP
asks you in. She asks what is wrong and then puts a ……3…………. in your mouth to
see your throat. Then she asks you to take off your sweater and uses a ……4………….
to listen to your chest. Finally she tells you that you have caught the flu, prescribes you
some medicine and says you must stay at home for a couple of days.
16
As you can see, several pieces of equipment are used even in such a common
procedure like diagnosing flu, some of which you may even have at home. What about
other examples? Let's see what equipment might be used in case of a broken bone. It's
mid February and you are skiing in the Rockies. You are having an amazing time but
you fall and feel terrible pain in both your shin and your arm. You have probably
broken your arm and your leg!
It's so painful you can't move so you call out mountain rescue. They come by
chopper, put you on a ……..5…….., use a splint to immobilize your limbs and take
you to the hospital. You are told you have broken your leg and it's put in
a ……..6…….. If you're lucky and your arm is not broken, it's only wrapped
in ……..7……… and you have to wear a…….8……... As a result, walking
on crutches is out of the question, so you leave the hospital in a ……..9………. But
how do the doctors make sure your limb is broken or not? Well, you have an X-ray
taken.
What other gear is used in hospitals? Let's study a case of a person brought to an
A&E department with a head injury. The person is brought by paramedics, who have
already put a ……10………….. on his or her neck in order to prevent further injury.
Firstly, diagnostic ……9………….. is put to use in order to check the person's
condition.
An MRI scan is taken to check for bleeding and swelling in the brain. If
immediate surgery is required, the patient is administered an anesthetic by means of
a ……11…………... Then a surgeon uses a ……12………….. to cut into his or her
body and ……13………….. to manipulate the tissues. After the surgery is performed,
a catheter is inserted for the time when he or she is immobilized.
Various types of medical equipment, ranging from basic tools to highly
advanced cutting edge devices, are used in very different situations. One thing is
certain - each piece has been developed to help us recover or even save our lives. And
we might need them at the very beginning of our lives - as is the case with
an incubator, which is used in neonatal units to help or treat prematurely born children.

receive information from each of your senses, what you see, feel, taste, hear and
touch. All of this information travels to and from parts of your body along your spinal
cord, which is like a highway found down the centre of your back. As the information
travels from neuron to neuron, pathways are created. When you think about or
practice something again and again, those pathways get stronger. That’s how the brain
learns and remembers. Actually, you were born with most of the neurons you have
now, but when you were a baby, you didn’t have many pathways to connect them. As
an adult, you now have more than 125 trillion connections between your neurons. No
computer on earth can compete with the speed of your brain and how much
information it can hold.

Once the food molecules pass through the cells that line the small intestine, they
enter capillaries, which are small blood vessels that lie just beneath the intestinal cells.
These capillaries transport the molecules to larger vessels that eventually lead to the
liver. In the liver, some of the food molecules are stored for later use, while others
remain in the blood for immediate use by the body's cells. For example, if there is a lot
of sugar in the blood after eating, insulin tells the liver to store it. In addition to making
bile and storing food molecules, the liver also takes poisons (for example, alcohol or
drugs) out of the food.
When digestion and absorption is complete in the small intestine, peristalsis
occurs to push the food waste forward into the large intestine.
If something causes food to move too quickly through the small intestine, very
little of the water is absorbed. This causes feces (waste) to become liquid, a condition
called diarrhea. Diarrhea may be caused by bacteria or viruses or by a food allergy.

PART V: Writing
Complete the doctor's memo describing the patient's problem.
Doctor Jame McEnroy. MD. presented the case of a patient at the surgery:
A 42-year-old woman named Virginia Hansen attended her GP’s surgery on 15th
October, 2019 complaining of sharp stomach pain and craming. She experienced
occasional diarrhea. On examination, the doctor found no evidence of throat or
esophagus problems. It was likely that the patient’s discomfort was from an ulcer. It
was possible the patient had appendicitis. The conducting of further tests was needed to
narrow the possible cause of the patient’s discomfort. He recommended a colonoscopy
to rule out any damage to the colon. This procedure was to include an inspection of
both the small intestine and her large intestine as well.

READING
ADMINISTRATION OF DRUGS
The route of administration of a drug (how it is taken into the body) determines how
well it is absorbed into the blood, and its speed and duration of action. Various
methods of administering drugs are:
Oral Administration. Drugs given by mouth are slowly absorbed into the bloodstream
through the stomach or intestinal wall. This method, although convenient for the
patient, has several disadvantages. If the drug is destroyed in the digestive tract by
digestive juices, or if the drug is unable to pass through the intestinal wall, it will be
ineffective. Oral administration is also a disadvantage if a rapid onset of action is
desired. It takes several hours for oral medication to be fully absorbed into the
bloodstream.
Sublingual Administration. Drugs placed under the tongue dissolve in the saliva. For
some agents, absorption may be rapid. Nitroglycerin tablets are administered in this
way to treat attacks of angina (chest pain).
Rectal Administration. Suppositories (cone-shaped objects containing drugs) and
aqueous solutions are inserted into the rectum. Drugs are given by rectum when oral
administration presents difficulties, as when the patient is nauseated and vomiting.
Parenteral Administration. Injection of drug from a syringe (tube) through a hollow
needle placed under the skin, into a muscle, vein, or body cavity. There are several
types of parenteral injections and instillations:
55
1. Intracavitary instillation. This injection is made into a body cavity, such as
the peritoneal or pleural cavity. For example, drugs may be introduced into the pleural
cavity in people who have pleural effusions due to malignant disease. The drug causes
the pleural surfaces to adhere, thereby obliterating the pleural space and preventing
the accumulation of fluid. This procedure is known as pleurodesis.
2. Intradermal injection. This shallow injection is made into the upper layers of
the skin and is used chiefly in skin testing for allergic reactions.
3. Subcutaneous (hypodermic) injection (subQ). A small hypodermic needle is
introduced into the subcutaneous tissue under the skin, usually on the upper arm,
thigh, or abdomen. Insulin is injected daily via this route.
4. Intramuscular injection (IM). The buttock or upper arm is the usual site for
this injection into muscle. When drugs are irritating to the skin or when a large volume
of solution must be administered, IM injections are used.
5. Intrathecal instillation. This instillation occurs in the space under the
membranes (meninges) surrounding the spinal cord and brain. Methotrexate (a cancer
chemotherapeutic drug) is introduced intrathecally for treatment of leukemia
involving the spinal canal.
6. Intravenous injection (IV). This injection is given directly into a vein. It is
used when an immediate effect from the drug is desired or when the drug cannot be
safely introduced into other tissues. Good technical skill is needed with intravenous
injections because leakage of a drug into surrounding tissues may result in irritation
and inflammation. Some medicines, such as anticancer drugs, are dissolved in a large
volume of saline (sterile salt solution) and given by a several-hour-long intravenous
infusion.
7. Pumps. Battery-powered pumps may be used for continuous administration of
drugs by the subcutaneous or intravenous route.
Inhalation. Vapors, or gases, taken into the nose or mouth are absorbed into the
bloodstream through the thin walls of air sacs in the lungs. Aerosols (particles of drug
suspended in air) are administered by inhalation, as are many anesthetics. Examples of
aerosols are pentamidine, used to prevent a form of pneumonia associated with
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and various aerosolized medicines used
to treat asthma (spasm of the lung airways).
Topical Application. Drugs are applied locally on the skin or mucous membranes of
the body. Antiseptics (against infection) and antipruritics (against itching) commonly
56
are used as ointments, creams, and lotions. Transdermal patches are used to deliver
drugs (such as estrogen for hormone replacement therapy, pain medications, and
nicotine for smoking cessation programs) continuously through the skin.
Task 1:
Match the routes of drug administration in Column I with the medications or
procedures in Column II
2. How is sublingual medication administered? What drug is most often used to treat
angina and what does it do?
