¶ … DMAA: Case Study Outcomes
Effect of DMAA: Case Study Outcomes
Hypothesis generation
This research aims at showing the precise dietary supplement and ingredients for civilians, frequently linked to many negative outcomes. The study draws inference from case reports conducted on two soldiers that took dietary supplements that were available for sale. The supplements contained sympathomimetics and DMAA (1, 3-dimethylamylamine). The two soldiers had heart attacks when undergoing physical exercises (strenuous), collapsed and died (Eliason et al., 2012).
The study uses analytical research design, which aims at finding and assessing risk aspects or causes of illnesses or medical issues (Song & Chung, 2010). The features of analytical research are:
• Iterative and sequential creation of knowledge
• Experiments should be done under different conditions
• Thoughtful choice of study units
The analysis, used together with the concepts of analysis, is brought about by 3 fundamental doctrines: The data analysis, result interpretation and actions taken with regard to the results and current insight of experts about the study subject. The three principles are closely linked (Vasconcellos, 2004).
Study Participants
The research involves two participants. It can be generalized when conducting it on other patients, since there are questions raised by the collapsing and death...
The suspicions come up especially because there was very little research done on the said stimulant (Eliason et al., 2012).
Outcomes
The main issues researched were those dietary supplement which had DMAA and other ingredients, the symptoms along with the toxidrome, which took place on the two soldiers as per the expectations of how DMAA would react on its own, or when it is used in conjunction with other components. The writers in this research were trying to assert the safety in the use DMAA, by pointing out its impact and connecting it with the other supplements, prohibited by Drug and Food Administration. The research outcome, just like that of other case studies, indicates that there is no confirmed causal linkage between the dietary supplement and mortality. Nonetheless, with regard to the DMAA biochemistry and structure, the taxidrome, and symptoms portrayed by the two soldiers are similar to the ones expected of taking DMAA on its own or with other components. Therefore, the safety of using DMAA is still a cause for concern. Significantly, the kinds of negative results in the two cases are similar to the expected outcome of taking sympathomimetic medicine and the…

It began with a feeling like indigestion, which he attributed to the spicy chicken wings that they were eating while watching the game. However, the initial indigestion feeling worsened, even after he chewed an antacid. He began to feel short of breath
