Taylor & Francis Inc The Health Effects of Asbestos
Book SynopsisThe health-related effects of asbestos have long been mired in controversy, with industry and plaintiff attorneys playing a significant role. This comprehensive book provides a balanced and extensive evidence-based critical analysis of the literature concerning asbestos-related diseases, from a scientific and historical perspective. The book presents a carefully referenced review of the medical literature on the health effects of asbestos, and reflects the extensive experience of the author in evaluating patients with asbestos-related disorders.Trade Review"What Dr. Smith outlines as an evidence-based approach is likely as relevant to other key toxic materials as it is to asbestos. His first chapter, devoted to reading and finding truth in the medical scientific literature, is instructive in many fields. An understanding of the health effects of asbestos has remained as refractory as the mineral itself. I'll return to these pages many times, as much to understand how we have proceeded, as to review the specific health-related effects of asbestos." - J.

University of California Press White Plague Black Labor Tuberculosis and the
Book SynopsisWhy does tuberculosis, a disease which is both curable and preventable, continue to produce over 50,000 new cases a year in South Africa, primarily among blacks? In answering this question Randall Packard traces the history of one of the most devastating diseases in twentieth-century Africa, against the background of the changing political and economic forces that have shaped South African society from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. These forces have generated a growing backlog of disease among black workers and their families and at the same time have prevented the development of effective public health measures for controlling it. Packard's rich and nuanced analysis is a significant contribution to the growing body of literature on South Africa's social history as well as to the history of medicine and the political economy of health.

Stanford University Press Infectious Change
Book SynopsisTrade Review"In this defining ethnography of China's public health system and its complex relation to epidemics, Katherine Mason brilliantly describes health professionals, their struggles to be effective and ethical, the barriers they face, and how they animate the Chinese public health system as a lived reality. Infectious Change is an impressive contribution to both China studies and to medical anthropology!" -- Arthur Kleinman, Director * Harvard Asia Center *"Meticulously crafted, Infectious Change draws readers into the world of Chinese public health after SARS. Mason documents fundamentally different approaches to epidemic control among global, state, and local practitioners, including management of migratory populations, data collection, and ethics, arguing that global directives often stymie local efforts. This book elucidates why epidemic prevention everywhere must draw on local knowledge and practices." -- Margaret Lock * author of The Alzheimer Conundrum *"Infectious Change brings us for the first time before a hitherto unacknowledged consequence of the 2009 H1N1 crisis, and, at that, in one of the most epidemiologically critical regions of the globe today. It is this invaluable insight that should hold the attention not only of medical anthropologists but also of the wider global health community." -- Christos Lynteris * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"This is an excellent, thought-provoking book, which will appeal to those with interests in contemporary China, medical anthropology, and histories of health and disease. It yields insights that will illuminate broader debates, such as those that pivot on the challenges inherent in promoting the "global" as a category in health." -- Robert Peckham * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *"Katherine Mason's book is an important contribution to the fields of Chinese studies and anthropology, joining a recent spate of excellent studies using the methods of anthropology to look at the intersections of public health, cultural practices and politics in China...Mason's book reminds us that implementing public health policy is never only about what is technically correct. It is about the cultural values and practices that govern relationships. It is also about understanding the power dynamics of the political system and generating the political will to construct an enabling environment and accountability mechanism to achieve it. In China, the tensions between centre and local are rarely resolved in favour of local and when new criteria for professional advancement are introduced, it results in the type of dysfunction so masterfully described by Mason." -- Joan Kaufman * China Quarterly *"In Infectious Change, Katherine A. Mason provides a captivating analysis of public health in China in the wake of SARS...Infectious Change is an insightful work that would be of interest to scholars of China and global health practitioners while also being accessible to a general academic reader. For China scholars, Mason makes a major contribution to the literature on public health." -- Emilio Dirlikov * Anthropological Quarterly *"Infectious Change presents a rich ethnographic account of how the Tianmai CDC works, how it would like to transform itself, and the barriers to doing so. It will make an excellent addition to courses on the anthropology of China or of global health because of the clarity of its ethnographic account and also because of the questions it opens up."––Elanah Uretsky, Asian MedicinTable of ContentsContents and Abstracts1Introduction chapter abstractThis chapter situates the reader in time and space and lays out the main arguments of the book. The author provides an overview of the recent history of public health in China, and describes the pseudonymous city of Tianmai. The author then suggests that due to key differences between professional responsibility as it is defined in the clinical and public health settings - particularly with regards to the aggregate nature of the public health "client" – a bifurcation of service and governance arose in Tianmai between a "common" being served and local populations being governed. The chapter lays out five "commons" that will be examined in the rest of the book: a civilized immigrant common, a professional common, a transnational scientific common, a global health common, and a global common. It also suggests that the Tianmai case can offer novel insights into the study of global health. 2City of Immigrants chapter abstractThis chapter takes a closer look at the immigrant city of Tianmai, and considers how the modern, cosmopolitan urban paradise that Tianmai's elites were trying to build included some and excluded others. In particular, the chapter examines the relationship – or lack thereof – between Tianmai's public health professionals and the city's enormous "floating population" of rural-to-urban migrants. The author shows how her interlocutors – former migrants themselves – refused to engage with migrant individuals, and actively maintained personal, moral, and professional boundaries between themselves and the floating population. This effectively divulged public health professionals of responsibility for the majority of the people who lived in their city and established them as "biological non-citizens" who had to be governed but could not be served. In doing this public health professionals worked to serve a civilized immigrant common of modern urban subjects that did not include the floating population. 3Relationships, Trust, and Truths chapter abstractThis chapter illustrates how the power to implement any given public health initiative in China was located within the webs of guanxi, or personal relationships, that public health professionals spun anew at the beginning of each project. Drawing on rich ethnographic description, the chapter takes the reader into the banqueting and other entertainment rituals that public health professionals engaged in almost daily in order to create and maintain these networks of reciprocal obligation and personalistic trust. The author then examines how a group of young, highly educated post-SARS reformers attempted to rid the public health system of guanxi, which they regarded as anti-scientific and akin to corruption. These reformers hoped to build a more transparent and reliable system of disease reporting and governance by establishing a professional common grounded in professionalized trust. 4Scientific Imaginaries chapter abstractThis chapter critically examines public health research and science in Tianmai. The author explores the efforts of Chinese public health professionals to advance their careers through scientific research, and discusses how in the wake of SARS, Chinese public health institutions dramatically increased their investments in scientific research – rendering publishable research a major focus of local public health work. Newly hired young people labored to produce the "quality" and "true" data that they associated with good science. They hoped that doing so would give them a chance to "develop themselves" as members of transnational scientific common, and to escape a local moral world that they felt was dominated by mimicry, deception, and instability. The chapter suggests that their approach to research provides a mirror through which public health researchers in other contexts could critically examine their own ethical practices, raising new questions about global research ethics. 5Pandemic Betrayals chapter abstractThis chapter provides an ethnographically rich eyewitness account of Tianmai's response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, describing how public health professionals in Tianmai drew upon the lessons of SARS to mount what they thought would be an internationally lauded response to H1N1. In attempting to prove their pandemic preparedness capabilities and ensure a place among the global scientific elite, however, Tianmai's public health professionals instead found that their full admittance into a global health common and a global common remained elusive. The chapter discusses the professionals' difficulties in escaping their perceived status as a source, rather than a victim, of dangerous viruses; their use of disease control tactics that were portrayed abroad as excessive and unsophisticated; and their disappointment with the failure of their leaders and guanxi partners to act in the professional fashion that they had been trying to promote since SARS. 6Conclusion chapter abstractThe concluding chapter returns to the broader question of what professional responsibility can or should mean in public health and beyond, and asks how public health professionals in China could work to reconcile the "common" with the "population," and population needs with individual needs. The author uses the case of HIV/AIDS to examine the ways in which some public health professionals in Tianmai were experimenting with alternative interpretations of public health that broadened the boundaries of the common to allow in otherwise maligned groups, including rural migrants, gay men, and sex workers. The book ends by considering the implications of this ethnography for the study of public health – both local and global – more broadly.

Book SynopsisThe first reports of the successful use of mechanical ventilation to treat respiratory disorders in the neonate were published in the 1960s.Trade Review"Four Stars" "This is a complete overview of every aspect of respiratory interventions and assessments. I am very impressed with the chapters and information available of the new state-of-the-art ventilators and the wider ranges of modalities that are extensively covered. This information may help clinicans narrow the options when faced with so many choices and options in ventilaor management. The binding is also convenient and allows the pages to lay flat. The list of abbreviations is complete. Not only is there a detailed table of contents, but index as well. "I have had 17 years of neonatal experience and I find a great need for a current, updated manual to have as a reference in a Level III NICU. I appreciate involvement that respiratory care practitioners had with the physicians in the development of this manual. These contributors are widely respected and experts in the field." Doody’s Review Service "The manual with its large font size, simple line diagrams and easy to read text makes it a very readable book. It is strongly recommended for residents, consultants and nurses providing active neonatal respiratory support." Indian Paediatrics "The extent of coverage, easy readability, and superb organization in conjunction with the plethora of practical pearls make it worthwhile having access to this book in a bed-side library. For a price tag of $89.00, it is simply a great bargain." Journal of Perinatology "This is a complete book that covers what you need when taking care of critical infants with respiratory disease. It enhances the collaboration of the health care team in the NICU and promotes the team’s efficiency in managing these ill infants. By thoroughly understanding and applying the information in this volume, the survival rate in the NICU may be increased and the complication rate will decrease.

University of Minnesota Press Breathtaking: Asthma Care in a Time of Climate
Book SynopsisAnalyzing asthma care in the twenty-first centuryAsthma is not a new problem, but today the disease is being reshaped by changing ecologies, healthcare systems, medical sciences, and built environments. A global epidemic, asthma (and our efforts to control it) demands an analysis attentive to its complexity, its contextual nature, and the care practices that emerge from both. At once clearly written and theoretically insightful, Breathtaking provides a sweeping ethnographic account of asthma’s many dimensions through the lived experiences of people who suffer from disordered breathing, as well as by considering their support networks, from secondary school teachers and coaches, to breathing educators and new smartphone applications designed for asthma control. Against the backdrop of unbreathable environments, Alison Kenner describes five modes of care that illustrate how asthma is addressed across different sociocultural scales. These modes of care often work in combination, building from or preceding one another. Tensions also exist between them, a point reflected by Kenner’s description of the structural conditions and material rhythms that shape everyday breathing, chronic disease, and our surrounding environments. She argues that new modes of distributed, collective care practices are needed to address asthma as a critical public health issue in the time of climate change.Trade Review"This elegant first monograph from the Asthma Files Project is written simply for all audiences and provides five practical recommendations. Breathtaking is social science at its best: experiential, explanatory, critical, and providing ways forward. Alison Kenner herself is an active participant as community social-scientist and as partner to someone who suffers disordered breathing. She guides us vividly across scales and registers."—Michael M.J. Fischer, author of Anthropology in the Meantime"Breathtaking is a sweeping ethnographic account of asthma and its treatments that expertly traverses questions of lived experience, medical technology, and critical ecology as they bear on the epidemic of disordered breathing. Beautifully written and poignant, this book makes a robust contribution to our understanding of the health effects of environmental degradation and climate change, deepens the critiques of biomedicalization, and heralds the promise of complementary and alternative medicine."—Anthony Ryan Hatch, author of Blood Sugar"Breathtaking is an engrossing read."—CHOICE"Breathtaking presents a compelling and very readable ethnographic overview of the ways that asthma is grappled with across a variety of 21st century American contexts. This book offers an insightful and multi-faceted account of a condition that affects so many around the world."—Somatosphere"Overall, Breathtaking takes asthma from the biomedical world, and using a multi-sited ethnography, traces connections between the experience of asthma, the environment and our bodies, allowing us to imagine new carescapes that could make the world more breathable."—LSE Review of Books"In the absence of swift and uncompromising action on the part of US legislators to combat climate change, Kenner advocates democratizing access to affordable health care; integrating breathing training into the doctor’s toolkit; and enacting policy, at all levels of government, to improve the indoor environments in which we spend the majority of our time."—H-EnvironmentTable of ContentsIntroduction1.

Thieme Medical Publishers Inc Lung Cancer Screening
Book SynopsisLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among men and women in the U.S. and worldwide. For many decades, lung cancer was the sole cancer among the deadly four without an evidence-based screening method for decreasing mortality. This changed in November 2011, when findings from the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial showed low-dose lung CT screening was more efficacious in reducing deaths in high-risk individuals than conventional radiography. As such, an ever-increasing number of health organizations now recommend this screening protocol. Lung Cancer Screening by Mark Parker and esteemed VCU Health colleagues, fulfills the dire need for a comprehensive guide explaining the crucial aspects of lung cancer screenings. The first two chapters lay a foundation with discussion of lung cancer epidemiology and risk factors beyond cigarette smoking. Subsequent chapters cover the fundamentals, with clinical pearls on setting up a successful lung cancer screening program, patient eligibility criteria, imaging variances of tumors in the lungs, screening pros and cons, and interpreting/reporting screening results. The evolution and future of lung cancer screenings Detection and management of unexpected incidental pulmonary and non-pulmonary findings Discussion of test cases utilizing the Lung-RADSTM risk-stratifying system for low-dose chest CT screenings Benefits and potential harms associated with mass lung cancer screening programs including false positive, false negative, and over-diagnosis rates This state-of-the-art guide is essential reading for radiologists, oncologists, pulmonologists, and internists. It is a must-have bookshelf reference for hospital radiology and oncology departments, in particular for those setting up new lung cancer screening programs.Table of Contents1 Lung Cancer Epidemiology 2 Risk Factors for Lung Cancer 3 Evolution of Lung Cancer Screening 4 Lung Cancer Screening Pros and Cons 5 Variable Imaging Presentations of Lung Cancer 6 Lung Cancer–Screening Results Reporting 7 Detection and Management of Unexpected Incidental Pulmonary and Nonpulmonary Findings 8 Elements of a Successful Lung Cancer–Screening Program 9 Future of Lung Cancer Screening 10 Test Cases: Applying Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS)
