Johns Hopkins University Press The Bleeding Disease
Book SynopsisIronically, transforming the hope of a normal life into a purchasable commodity for people with bleeding disorders made it all too easy to ignore the potential dangers of delivering greater health and autonomy to hemophilic boys and men.Trade ReviewThe author's research was impeccable and he writes in a very readable manner. Book Bargains and Previews This book holds wide appeal for both lay readers and medical professionals who are interested in the history of medicine, the ability of technology development to produce both good and bad outcomes, and the influence of societal perceptions on health policy and technology development. -- Bruce L. Evatt Journal of Clinical Investigation A thoughtful, intelligent, and informative contribution to the history of hemophilia and the shaping of safety policies in blood use. Choice Few stories in modern medicine oscillate as dramatically between triumph and tragedy as the history of hemophilia. The Bleeding Disease combines classic history of science with sociological analysis to tell this story in a style that should appeal to both medical and lay audiences. -- Katherine A. High Nature Medicine Excellent. -- Chris Feudtner Bulletin of the History of Medicine A well-researched, readable, and useful history of hemophilia in the United States, contextualized within its scientific, social, and economic milieu... Pemberton's book will serve as an inspiration and a cautionary tale about medical 'progress' writ large. -- Jacalyn Duffin Canadian Bulletin of Medical History A great read for everyone interested in scientific development, technological progress and the management of disease. The Good Care Guide Provides a thorough and detailed history of hemophilia. -- William G. Rothstein History of Science Society A really good review of the historical developments of medicine within a particular clinical condition. -- Ibadete Fetahu Nursing Times A great read for everyone interested in scientific development, technological progress and the management of disease. Nursing Standard A well-researched and compelling history of hemophilia. This book will undoubtedly be a standard for future histories in this area. -- Richard Nollan Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences A meticulously researched and consistently argued work of scholarship... The Bleeding Disease is a significant contribution to the history of biomedicine. -- Peter Hobbins Metascience The Bleeding Disease makes an important contribution to the history of American biomedicine in the twentieth century. -- Sophie Chauveau Medical History The Bleeding Disease is a welcome addition to the literature of that crisis and the history of haemophilia that preceeded it... This Faustian story has been told before; Pemberton enriches he telling not by seeking to blame the companies, the doctors or the regulators but by emphasising the desire for haemophiliacs to have normal lives. It is a dream shared by sufferers of any disease that have made the transition from deadly to chronic from diabetes to AIDS. Social History of Medicine Pemberton has done an admirable job of showing us the vast potential, and substantial limitations, of medical science to solve health problems... This book is strongly recommended for those studying the history of medicine, the history of medical technology, and the sociology of medicine. -- Stephen Inrig American Historical ReviewTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Hemophilia as Pathology of Progress1.

These areas are extensively examined in this new edition. Inflammatory Diseases of Blood Vessels is an excellent resource for a broad readership, including clinicians, investigators and their support teams in numerous specialties e.g. rheumatology, immunology, cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, pulmonary medicine, nephrology, pathology, vascular biology, embryology and imaging.Trade Review“This book provides a comprehensive overview of the science and clinical consequences of vascular inflammation in health and disease.” (European Journal of Immunology, 1 December 2012) “Overall, this is an excellent source of information on vasculitis for physicians at any level, including practicing rheumatologists.” (Doody’s, 2 November 2012) Table of ContentsList of Contributors Preface Section I.
