This study from 2004 reveals the marketing-based medicine era that we live in.  This meta-analysis of studies conducted for 5 year survival benefit found the contribution of chemotherapy was 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in America.  The authors conclusion: "it is clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes a minor contribution to cancer survival".  Compare this to the chemotherapy harm and the balance of benefit versus harm reveals a complete lack of evidence with regards to how therapy is practiced in Cancer

Case study of the harmful effects of Performance enhancing overload.  Physicians are unknownlingly entering this realm in the marketing based medicine approach to the treatment of low T.

Ergonomic Wheelchair often spend a lot of time leaning on armrests or a table exactly because they are not being supported with good posture in their chairs. This is a matter of seat angle and back angle, adjusting them according to body shape and degree of upper body balance. Poor seating makes slump, trying to get stable. The optimal posture is more upright, allowing spine to support. Ergonomic chairs are designed to confirm to a person's physical dimensions, allowing them to sit naturally and comfortably for long periods of time, while reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. Ergonomic system (Intelligent s-shaped ergonomic seating) provides efficient pressure relief by spreading weight over a greater area, at the same time provides stabilization and reduced sliding. With their lightweight frames and seats designed to reduce or prevent pressure points, ergonomic wheelchairs provide a comfortable option for mobility impaired users who have the upper body strength to propel themselves, or a caregiver strong enough to do so.

Pediatric, or child wheelchairs, are mobile aids designed for and used by children. Children require the use of a wheelchair for many different reasons, some may have suffered head injuries, some have muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy, some are amputees, and others only have an occasional use of their wheelchairs in lieu of a walking device or crutches. Certain types of pediatric wheelchairs are built to expand in size to accommodate increased bulk and weight by altering a cross balance on the bottom of the chair.
