TFM Publishing Ltd The Little Book of Medical Quotes: Inspiring
Book SynopsisThis rich collection of quotations, spanning multiple millennia from the ancient epochs to the contemporary era, is comprised of over five hundred inspirational thoughts and universal ideals enduringly coupled to the art, science, and philosophy of medical practice. These selected quotations encompass a wide breadth of keen observations and aphorisms directly linked to the history, grounding principles, and fundamental theories of medicine and surgery. The quotations in this volume have been drawn from past generations of legendary physicians and intrepid explorers of medical science as well as distinguished anatomists, physiologists, philosophers, writers, artists, and statesmen. The reader will ponder logical precepts, universal truths, and cogent words of guidance from ancient physicians and philosophers such as Hippocrates, Aristotle, and Socrates as well as be offered sage counsel from giants of medical history including Armand Trousseau, Sir William Osler, and Michael DeBakey, among many others. Additionally, the reader will hear the poignant words of world -- renowned medical scientists such as Claude Bernard, Jonas Salk, and Marie Curie. There are also enlightening tenets from celebrated Renaissance men, scientists, and innovators including Leonardo da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein. This unique collection of motivational quotes substantively addresses the pursuit of success in medical practice. Consider these quotations a daily dose of inspiration regardless of the particular discipline or specialty of medicine you have chosen to pursue. These quotations have the capacity to bring into clear focus the fundamentals and principles that are illustrative of sound medical practice, empathetic patient care, and humble professionalism. These thoughts are cognitively stimulating to ponder and at times are refreshingly witty and even humorous. In a medical world that has become overwhelmingly inundated with convoluted electronic health records and complex diagnostic services, these time-tested precepts will convey a modicum of simplicity and brightness upon the complex world in which we practice medicine.

John Libbey Eurotext Pluripotent Stem Cells: Therapeutic Perspectives
Book SynopsisInternational Workshop organised by the Marcel Mérieux Foundation, 21 to 23 June 2000. The debate over the ethical issues raised by stem cell research concerns essentially the practice of taking cells from human embryos and the consequent destruction of the embryo. This work, going to the heart of the controversy over such manipulations, discusses the ethical question of the legal status of the embryo. At the moment when, in France, the bioethics laws have come up for review, questions regarding the statute of the embryo return in the heart of scientific debates. Breakthroughs in the field of embryonic stem cell biology offer a glimpse of the considerable therapeutic possibilities. Research Institutes and Governments, hailed by these new therapeutic perspectives, are attempting to put in place modes of regulation this research that both respond to citizen''s aspirations and conform to ethical norms.

Oxford University Press AIDS Doctors
Book SynopsisToday, AIDS has been indelibly etched in our consciousness. Yet it was less than twenty years ago that doctors confronted a sudden avalanche of strange, inexplicable, seemingly untreatable conditions that signaled the arrival of a devastating new disease. Bewildered, unprepared, and pushed to the limit of their diagnostic abilities, a select group of courageous physicians nevertheless persevered. This unique collective memoir tells their story. Based on interviews with nearly eighty doctors whose lives and careers have centered on the AIDS epidemic from the early 1980s to the present, this candid, emotionally textured account details the palpable anxiety in the medical profession as it experienced a rapid succession of cases for which there was no clinical history. The physicians interviewed chronicle the roller coaster experiences of hope and despair, as they applied newly developed, often unsuccessful therapies. Yet these physicians who chose to embrace the challenge confronted moreTrade ReviewA detailed oral history of the first decades of the AIDS epidemic, told from the vantage point of the treating physician...A cold and revealing history of an American archetype, sure to appeal to readers whose lives have been affected by AIDS. * Kirkus Reviews *AIDS, the most dreaded plague of our epoch, has found its heroes. In this stunning document, doctors, unsung and uncelebrated, are meeting this challenge. Bayer and Oppenheimer, two masterful interviewers, have sounded, in the words of these heroes, a note of hope and possible triumph. * Studs Turkel *AIDS Doctors is a captivating story that reads like a medical thriller. To hear the story from the point of view of those on the front line and to witness their anxieties and their transformation is truly unique. This book will not only be an important chronicle of the history of AIDS in this country, it will hopefully serve as inspiration for young people contemplating a career in medicine. * Abraham Verghese, author of My Own Country and The Tennis Partner *In the great tradition of Studs Terkel, Bayer and Oppenheimer offer us the opportunity to hear the determined voices of clinicians who stepped forward to care for those stricken with AIDS in the terrifying early years of the epidemic. The eloquence of these men and women, their courage and compassion, is a powerful reminder that in the midst of tragedy we sometimes find our humanity. This extraordinary book will constitute a critical document and guide as we construct a history of this ongoing and devastating epidemic. * Allan Brandt, Harvard University, author of No Magic Bullet: A Social History of Venereal Disease in the United States since 1880 *Aids Doctors walks us through the American epidemic with grace, drama and a mastery of the social history of a profoundly important event. It deserves to sit on the bookshelf alongside earlier classics of the epidemic, Randy Shilts's And the Band Played On, Abraham Verghese's My Own Country and Abigail Zuger's Strong Shadows. * The New York Times Book Review *A sweeping narrative of the AIDS epidemic chronicles the terrifying early years to the current climate of therapeutic optimism, weaving together the intensely personal stories of the doctors who first confronted the crisis. * Forecast *This book tells the moving story of doctors who have committed their professional and often their personal lives to the AIDS epidemic. The book should enjoy a general readership, sicne the lay public can relate to the human stories that detail the failings and triumphs of the health care system in relation to AIDS. The book is more than informative and moving * it is a testament to the devotion of physicians to the sick.Marla Gold, New England Journal of Medicine, Vol 344, No. 4, Jan 25, 2001 *The intimate revelations published in AIDS Doctors will resonate with many AIDS physicians. This book provides a blow-by-blow account of the bewilderment and shock felt by physicians who first encountered an unknown killer of young gay men. This book provides for both medical and lay readers an intimate glimpse into the dramatic struggles of the relatively few physicians who first confronted an epidemic of catastrophic proportions. It stands as a testament to the lives of physicians "gripped" by the AIDS epidemic. * Philip B. Berger, Canadian Medical Association Journal, 163(11), Nov 28, 2000 *

This book addresses this question with reference to the language of medicine and so offers the first systematic account of a part of this large, rich, and largely unworked field.Trade ReviewLangslow's work is an important contribution to our understanding of the field. * Hermathena: A Trinity College Dublin Review *This is one of the most thoroughgoing attempts to place Latin lexicological studies on a quantitive basis. * Hermathena: A Trinity College Dublin Review *... an unusual air of intellectual dialogue within the work, and a sense that this area of Latin linguistics has made real progress since the mid-1980s. This book both summarizes this progress and builds on it; it offers a range of new approaches to technical languages, potentially applicable to other branches of Latin and indeed to other languages as well. In doing so, [Langslow] gives a fine example of how classical philology can go on contributing to debate within modern general linguistics. * Hermathena: A Trinity College Dublin Review *Very welcome linguistical study of terminology in Latin medical texts. * Medical History *The author must be praised for combining the tasks of a linguist with those of a classicist. * Medical History *The book and the three indexes included in the appendix will be used as an essential reference tool for future research. * Medical History *

Book SynopsisEquips you to communicate effectively with your patients so you can provide optimal care. This book presents a practical, systematic approach to honing your basic interviewing skills and managing common challenging communicating situations.Trade Review"The three function model is a profound bedrock to provide footing for a medical communication course. It is simple at its most basic level and applicable to any discipline or subspecialty a young trainee would decide to pursue. Thus, it is widely applicable to medical school educators.the model is equally applicable to graduate and post graduate level educators and clinicians who want to advance their skills. There are few medical texts out there that can have such wide appeal and effectiveness. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to any medical educator who has a need to both learn and teach patient-physician communication." -Joseph S. Weiner, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Medicine, Hofstra North Shore LIJ School of Medicine "In over 20 years of teaching interviewing skills to medical students I have consistently relied on The Medical Interview: The Three Function Approach as a key resource. The combination of humanism, intellectually rigorous biopsychosocial perspective, and clinical pragmatism makes it a uniquely relevant and accessible text. Students have no trouble grasping and applying the three-function structure as a tool for observing, critiquing and improving interview skills in themselves and their peers during our observed interview sessions. The introduction of motivational interviewing concepts in the third edition is a welcome addition." -Roy M.
