Comparative analysis of the October 2013 Declaration of Helsinki compared to the 1996 versionThe 2013 Declaration of Helsinki compared to the 1996 version states that one of the reasons for research biomedical is to continuously evaluate medical conditions interventions in addition to improving the diagnosis and prevention of diseases, as also stated in the previous version. Furthermore, the importance of final testing on human subjects is mentioned in the new statement, whereas in the previous edition testing on humans was only mentioned as part of the final experimental design. Regarding the role of ethics committees and the approval of the experimental protocol, there are some implementations in the 2013 statement that give the possibility to the committee to control the entire experimental procedure and adverse effects during the study. Furthermore, it is clearly mentioned that no changes can be made to the protocol during the study, this part was not mentioned in the 1995 statement and the clear explanation of this fact leaves no room for different types of behavior. Finally, new considerations regarding the protocol have been added in the new version of the Declaration of Helsinki where all details, including ethical aspects and compensation for subjects, should be included in the experimental protocol, which will be under consideration by the committee ethical. doctors In both editions of the Declaration of Helsinki the role of the doctor in the protection of the human subject involved in the study is underlined. However, in the 2013 statement all the parameters that should be protected by the healthcare professional are described in more detail and those included not in... middle of the paper... obtained regardless of whether they are negative or positive should be published openly. Furthermore, not only the doctors but also the editors and publishers are responsible for the ethical aspects of the study. Increasing the responsibility of all individuals involved in carrying out and publishing the study decreases the possibility that a study will be conducted that does not take all ethical aspects into account. Finally, the 2013 declaration gives the ethical possibility to the doctor to use an unproven method if he believes that this will benefit the patient and after having given informed consent.
