R Zapf

Clinical pharmacology being an experimental natural science, tries to answer clinical questions by means of thoroughly studied syntactic models. In doing so it is regularly confronted with the typical problems of any experimental science: the syntactic problem, the semantic problem, the problem of redundance. The syntactic problem is regarded as being solved by biometric means. The semantic problem reflects the developing state of scientific findings; insofar the solutions are of provisional character. To a large extent the problem of redundance seems to be a discretionary question.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007257	Information Theory	An interdisciplinary study dealing with the transmission of messages or signals, or the communication of information. Information theory does not directly deal with meaning or content, but with physical representations that have meaning or content. It overlaps considerably with communication theory and CYBERNETICS.

D004341	Drug Evaluation	Any process by which toxicity, metabolism, absorption, elimination, preferred route of administration, safe dosage range, etc., for a drug or group of drugs is determined through clinical assessment in humans or veterinary animals.
