Disease and Urbanization

Disease and Urbanization

Originally published in 1980 this book focusses attention on various aspects of disease ecology. A series of contrasts appear between urban and rural temperate and tropical and affluent and poor communities. These socio-geographical contrasts are related to a further dichotomy between infectious (usually acute) diseases and non-infectious (usually chronic) ones. The first part of the book is largely concerned with infectious disease such as malaria and gastroenteritis in rural/tropical/poor communities. The second discusses the often-antithetical combination of chronic disease in urban/temperate/affluent populations. | Disease and Urbanization

Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Urolithiasis or stone disease occurs in 7% of women and 12% of men at some point and these statistics are rising. Furthermore for those who form a stone the likelihood of a recurrence is nearly 50% within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore the need for effective minimally invasive alternatives for stone eradication and prevention is critical. Because stone disease comprises a large part of any urologist’s practice a thorough knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease is critical in order to understand and implement treatment strategies to prevent stone formation. Likewise a working knowledge of the surgical treatments instrumentation and outcomes is necessary to arm patients with sufficient information to make an informed decision and to provide the appropriate treatment modality for a given stone situation. In Urolithiasis: Medical and Surgical Management the authors provide a complete guide to the management of stone disease from both a medical and surgical prospective. This book should be an invaluable resource for those who treat stone disease in any capacity whether surgically or medically acutely or long-term. | Urolithiasis Medical and Surgical Management of Stone Disease

Motor Neurone Disease

Motor Neurone Disease

Motor Neurone Disease is one of the most difficult conditions to manage medically and socially. A disease which leads to the loss of control of most muscle systems of the body it has no known cause and no cure. For this reason clinicians have traditionally been reluctant to reveal the diagnosis to sufferers or their families and the condition has become known as one of the best kept secrets of medical practice. However in recent years a number of organizations have set up to support sufferers and their families and consequently the public profile of the condition has changed dramatically. Motor Neurone Disease provides an extremely helpful guide to the medical facts relating to the condition and considers the psycho-social effects on sufferers and those who care for them. It will be essential reading for doctors nurses social workers physio- speech and occupational therapists as well as all those suffering from Motor Neurone Disease their families and carers.

The Ethics of Gender-Specific Disease

The Ethics of Gender-Specific Disease

Our understanding of gender carries significant bioethical implications. An errant account of gender-specific disease can lead to overgeneralizations undergeneralizations and misdiagnoses. It can also lead to problems in the structure of health-care delivery the creation of policy and the development of clinical curricula. In this volume Cutter argues that gender-specific disease and related bioethical discourses are philosophically integrative. Gender-specific disease is integrative because the descriptive roles of gender disease and their relation are inextricably tied to their prescriptive roles within frames of reference. An integrative account of gender-specific disease carries ethical implications because our understanding of gender-specific disease is evaluative and our evaluations of gender-specific disease entail judgments concerning the praiseworthiness and blameworthiness of a clinical event. Cutter supports a both/and emphasis on context and integration in relation to gender-specific disease and bioethical analyses. While the text mainly focuses on gender-specific diseases that affect women Cutter also includes examples involving men children and members of the LGBT community. | The Ethics of Gender-Specific Disease
