This title offers a fresh perspective on this ethical dilemma, by examining the social organization of blood and organ donation in Europe and the United States.Trade Review"In Last Best Gifts, Kieran Healy offers a timely, sophisticated, and original analysis of the complex organizational terrain of blood and organ donation. In doing so, he unpacks the crucial role that organizations and institutions play in creating the contexts for, and the meanings of, giving.

Book SynopsisAre our identities attached to our faces? If so, what happens when the face connected to the self is gone forever or replaced? In Face/On, Sharrona Pearl investigates the stakes for changing the face and the changing stakes for the face in both contemporary society and the sciences. The first comprehensive cultural study of face transplant surgery, Face/On reveals our true relationships to faces and facelessness, explains the significance we place on facial manipulation, and decodes how we understand loss, reconstruction, and transplantation of the face. To achieve this, Pearl draws on a vast array of sources: bioethical and medical reports, newspaper and television coverage, performances by pop culture icons, hospital records, personal interviews, films, and military files. She argues that we are on the cusp of a new ethics, in an opportune moment for reframing essentialist ideas about appearance in favor of a more expansive form of interpersonal interaction.

Book SynopsisThe book was envisioned by bedside nurses caring for transplant and cellular therapy patients as a way to teach novice nurses and health care colleagues about the care required for this complex patient population. The nurse authors recruited an oncology nurse practitioner, transplant physician, nurse scientist and expert in medical humanities and health studies to join the project team. The dedication of the team and the willingness of the patients to contribute to the project, has led to a unique case study approach focused on the lived experience of patients and care partner(s) during the transplant/cellular therapy journey. The case studies are unique in that they encompass a qualitative narrative developed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and the inclusion of the individual's actual medical and nursing care from their health record. At every step along the trajectory of the illness, the medications and care received are described, interspersed with the voice of the patient and care partner(s) sharing their experiences. The chapters follow the individual patients and their care partner(s) through all phases of their illness. The interviews were conducted, and case studies written by the bedside clinical nurses. Visual art and prose created by patients and care partner(s)s are included in the chapters. The book also includes an introduction written by the nurse authors, a methods chapter on the inclusion of IPA in a case study, and poignant epilogue. The premise of nursing support for survivorship is woven throughout the book, highlighting how giving back aids in recovery identity.This book, full of beautiful artworks and poems, is the work of clinical nurses devoted to improving care for their patients by sharing the patient stories with others. It introduces a unique approach to the case study which could be replicated and applied to any diagnosis.Table of ContentsForeword by Susan K.

Book SynopsisAre our identities attached to our faces? If so, what happens when the face connected to the self is gone forever or replaced? In Face/On, Sharrona Pearl investigates the stakes for changing the face and the changing stakes for the face in both contemporary society and the sciences. The first comprehensive cultural study of face transplant surgery, Face/On reveals our true relationships to faces and facelessness, explains the significance we place on facial manipulation, and decodes how we understand loss, reconstruction, and transplantation of the face. To achieve this, Pearl draws on a vast array of sources: bioethical and medical reports, newspaper and television coverage, performances by pop culture icons, hospital records, personal interviews, films, and military files. She argues that we are on the cusp of a new ethics, in an opportune moment for reframing essentialist ideas about appearance in favor of a more expansive form of interpersonal interaction.

Book SynopsisA clinical guide to transplantation in lymphoma to present advanced knowledge on how to integrate, transplantat and other novel therapies in patients with lymphoid malignancies. It provides practical management guidance on how to integrate, transplant and other novel therapies in patients with lymphoid malignancies.Trade ReviewSir William Osler is reputed to have said, “Listen to the patient and he will give you the answer.” Had he been alive now and practicing transplantation for lymphoma, he could have well said “Read the Clinical Guide to Transplantation in Lymphoma and it will give you the answer.” These reviewers are very impressed by the breadth and scope of this book edited by Drs. Bipin Savani and Mohamed Mohty, ably aided by an array of expert contributors from all over the world.Clinical Guide to Transplantation in Lymphoma is extremely easy to read and very well written. In this era ofexponential information growth this book is surprisingly current, with the latest references. It has an ambitious scope, setting out to cover all aspects of transplantation in lymphoma and managing to meet that expectation.Chapters are laid out in logical sequence divided into 2 sections. Section 1 is particularly interesting and haschapters on the historical perspective of transplantation for lymphoma, transplant data collection and reporting, and analytical methods. The remainder of section 1 describes the general principles of transplantation in lymphomas, addressing issues such as mobilization, preparative regimens, and management of the early, late, and long-term issues arising after transplantation. Some chapters include transplantation for lymphoma in children, adults, and young adolescents; pretransplant evaluation; preparative regimens for autologous and allogeneic transplants; stem cell mobilization and stem cell source; post-transplant follow-up for autologousand allogeneic transplant, and a novel chapter, “First 100 Days of the Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Process in Lymphoma.” The chapters in section 1 are broadly applicable and would prove invaluable to trainees pursuing fellowships in hematopoietic cell transplantation.Section 2 is laid out as a chapter by chapter discussion of various lymphoma histologies and the applicability of hematopoietic cell transplantation in each. One can return to some of these chapters again and again because all common and most rare lymphoma subtypes (including HIV-associated lymphoma) are discussed in excellent detail. We found each one of these chapters to be remarkably up to date. In a field such ashematopoietic cell transplantation,where there is considerable ambiguity and few randomized studies, the authors and editors have maintained a neutral and unbiased tone,discussing the available data andguidelines exhaustively.Very few similar textbooks focus on transplantation in a disease group. Clinical Guide to Transplantation in Lymphoma is concise enough, practical, and clinically oriented to be considered a practical manual but at the same time manages to be comprehensive. Some unique features in this book are the numerous excellent graphs and tables and the discussion of case studies and clinical guidelines (United States and European) wherever applicable. We found very few typographic errors. For future editions we recommend at least 1 chapter devoted to the emerging field of cellular immunotherapy.The editors and the contributors need to be congratulated for an encyclopedic work that still manages to be a ready reference guide. This book will be used extensively and should be in the library of every transplanter.We hope it runs into many future editions and becomes the authoritative textbook for transplantation in lymphoma.
