Kierkegaard and Bioethics (Routledge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Philosophy)
by Johann-Christian PõderThis book explores Kierkegaard’s significance for bioethics and discusses how Kierkegaard’s existential thinking can enrich and advance current bioethical debates. A bioethics inspired by Kierkegaard is not focused primarily on ethical codes, principles, or cases, but on the existential 'how' of our medical situation. Such a perspective focuses on the formative ethical experiences that an individual can have in relation to oneself and others when dealing with medical decisions, interventions, and information. The chapters in this volume explore questions like: What happens when medicine and bioethics meet Kierkegaard? How might Kierkegaard’s writings and thoughts contribute to contemporary issues in medicine? Do we need an existential turn in bioethics? They offer theoretical reflections on how Kierkegaard’s existential thinking might contribute to bioethics and apply Kierkegaardian concepts to debates on health and disease, predictive medicine and enhancement, mental illness and trauma, COVID-19, and gender identity. Kierkegaard and Bioethics will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Kierkegaard, bioethics, moral philosophy, existential ethics, religious ethics, and the medical humanities.

Kigo: Exploring the Spiritual Essence of Acupuncture Points Through the Changing Seasons
by Lorie Eve DecharWith references to traditional Taoist and Chinese texts, as well as influences from the author's background in psychology and psychotherapy, this book by Lorie Dechar demonstrates how practitioners can work with the spirit of acupuncture points in modern practice. The concept of 'kigo', a Japanese word meaning 'season word', is used to understand the seasonal energy of the points and how the body relates to the universal flow. As an understanding of the spirit of the point brings focus and potency to a practitioner's needling, it also strengthens their ability to touch a patient's soul and spirit, besides the physical body.Tying in the macro cosmic connection of the body to the universe with a poetic force that amplifies and deepens the effect of acupuncture, Kigo is the perfect companion not only for acupuncturists, but also for chiropractors and psychotherapists, doctors and nurses, and other practitioners who use the points as part of their clinical work.

Kill Shot: A Shadow Industry, a Deadly Disease
by Jason DearenAn award-winning investigative journalist's horrifying true crime story of America's deadliest drug contamination outbreak and the greed and deception that fueled it. Two pharmacists sit in a Boston courtroom accused of murder. The weapon: the fungus Exserohilum rostratum. The death count: 100 and rising. Kill Shot is the story of their hubris and fraud, discovered by a team of medical detectives who raced against the clock to hunt the killers and the fungal meningitis they'd unleashed."Bloodthirsty" is how doctors described the fungal microbe that contaminated thousands of drug vials produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). Though NECC chief Barry Cadden called his company the "Ferrari of Compounders," it was a slapdash operation of unqualified staff, mold-ridden lab surfaces, and hastily made medications that were injected into approximately 14,000 people. Once inside some of its human hosts, the fungus traveled through the tough tissue around the spine and wormed upward to the "deep brain," our control center for balance, breath, and the vital motor functions of life.Now, investigative journalist Jason Dearen turns a spotlight on this tragedy--the victims, the heroes, and the perpetrators--and the legal loopholes that allowed it to occur. Kill Shot forces a powerful but unchecked industry out of the shadows.

Killing Season: A Paramedic's Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Opioid Epidemic
by Peter CanningA devastating, empathetic look at the opioid epidemic in the United States, through the eyes of a paramedic on the front lines.[I] set my cardiac monitor down by the young man's head. He is lifeless, his face white with a blue tinge. I apply the defibrillator pads to his hairless chest... A week from today, after the young man's brain shows no signs of electrical activity, the medical staff will take the breathing tube out, and with his family gathered by his side, he will pass away at the age of twenty-three. When Peter Canning started work as a paramedic on the streets of Hartford, Connecticut, twenty-five years ago, he believed drug users were victims only of their own character flaws. Although he took care of them, he did not care for them. But as the overdoses escalated, Canning began asking his patients how they had gotten started on their perilous journeys. And while no two tales were the same, their heartrending similarities changed Canning's view and moved him to educate himself about the science of addiction. Armed with that understanding, he began his fight against the stigmatization of users.In Killing Season, we ride along with Canning through the streets of Hartford as he tells stories of opioid overdose from a street-level vantage point. A first responder to hundreds of overdoses throughout the rise of America's epidemic, Canning has seen the impact of prescription painkillers, heroin, and the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl firsthand. Bringing us into the room (or the car, or the portable toilet) with the victims of this epidemic, Canning explains how he came to favor harm reduction, which advocates for needle exchange, community naloxone, and safe-injection sites.Through the rapid-fire nature of one paramedic's view of addiction and overdose, readers will come to understand more than just the science and misguided policies behind the opioid epidemic. They'll also share in Canning's developing empathy. Stripping away the stigma of addiction through stories that are hard-hitting, poignant, sad, confessional, funny, and overall, human, Killing Season will change minds about the epidemic, help obliterate stigma, and save lives.
Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction and the Meaning of Liberty
by Dorothy RobertsThis is a no-holds-barred response to the liberal and conservative retreat from an assertive, activist, and socially transformative civil rights agenda of recent years--using a black feminist lens and the issue of the impact of recent legislation, social policy, and welfare "reform" on black women's--especially poor black women's--control over their bodies' autonomy and their freedom to bear and raise children with respect and dignity in a society whose white mainstream is determined to demonize, even criminalize their lives. It gives its readers a cogent legal and historical argument for a radically new, and socially transformative, definition of "liberty" and "equality" for the American polity from a black feminist perspective.
Kilometer 101
by Maxim OsipovA new collection of short fiction and nonfiction by a Russian master of bittersweet humor, dramatic irony, and poignant insights into contemporary life.The town of Tarusa lies 101 kilometers outside Moscow, far enough to have served, under Soviet rule, as a place where former political prisoners and other &“undesirables&” could legally settle. Lying between the center of power and the provinces, between the modern urban capital and the countryside, Tarusa is the perfect place from which to observe a Russia that, in Maxim Osipov&’s words, &“changes a lot [in the course of a decade], but in two centuries—not at all.&” The stories and essays in this volume—a follow-up to his debut in English, Rock, Paper, Scissors—tackle major questions of modern life in and beyond Russia with Osipov&’s trademark blend of daring and subtlety. Deceit, political pressure, ethnic discrimination, the urge to emigrate, and the fear of abandoning one&’s home, as well as myriad generational debts and conflicts, are as complexly woven through these pieces as they are through the lives of Osipov&’s fellow Russians and through our own. What binds the prose in this volume is not only a set of concerns, however, but also Osipov&’s penetrating insights and fearless realism. &“Dreams fall away, one after another,&” he writes in the opening essay, &“some because they come true, but most because they prove pointless.&” Yet, as he reminds us in the final essay, when viewed from ground level, &“life tends not towards depletion, towards zero, but, on the contrary, towards repletion, fullness.&”

Kinase Inhibitor Drugs
by Rongshi Li Jeffrey A. StaffordA comprehensive resource on case studies of marketed kinase drugs and promising drug trialsSince the discovery of protein kinase activity in 1954, the field of protein kinase drug discovery has advanced dramatically. With the ongoing clinical success of the Bcr-Abl kinase inhibitor Gleevec in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia and seven additional marketed kinase inhibitor drugs, researchers have compelling evidence that kinase inhibitors can be highly efficacious in the treatment of diseases caused by aberrant activity of protein kinase. Currently more than 100 protein kinase inhibitors are in clinical development.In one comprehensive volume, the editors, Dr. Rongshi Li and Dr. Jeffrey Stafford, present timely and important case studies of marketed kinase drugs and several of the most advanced kinase inhibitors in clinical trials. Kinase Inhibitor Drugs includes:Case studies from leading investigators and experts in the field that provide firsthand accounts of kinase inhibitor discoveryCurrent thinking on kinase structure, biochemistry, and signal transduction pathwaysInformation on state-of-the-art technologies and tools such as structure-based and fragment-based drug discoveryA lineup of clinical-phase growth factor receptor inhibitorsInhibitors of cell cycle kinasesThe discovery of allosteric inhibitors of MEK kinaseInformation on pharmacogenomics and its application to kinase inhibitor clinical development
Kinase Inhibitors
by Bernhard KusterProtein and lipid kinases are often the master regulators of cell signaling in eukaryotic systems. The human genome codes for more than 500 of these enzymes and their misregulation has been shown to be involved in the onset and progression of many diseases including cancer and inflammation. Therefore, small molecule kinase inhibitors have become important research tools for the elucidation of the many biological roles of kinases and their mechanisms of action. Kinase inhibitors thus also contribute significantly to the drug pipelines of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and to the growing need to treat cancer and inflammation. In Kinase Inhibitors: Methods and Protocols, experts in kinase biology, drug discovery, and clinical research present a series of exemplary methods that can be used to address the many challenges facing scientists in the discovery and development of kinase inhibitors both for research and clinical use. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and accessible, Kinase Inhibitors: Methods and Protocols aims to provide scientists with modern and relevant methods to accelerate or strengthen their research and drug discovery programs through the utilization of these vital regulators.
Kinder als „Ersatzteillieferanten“ im rechtlichen Kontext: Von der Nabelschnurblutspende zur Selektion von Retterkindern (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Deutsches, Europäisches und Internationales Medizinrecht, Gesundheitsrecht und Bioethik der Universitäten Heidelberg und Mannheim #50)
by Alena JerrentrupIn einer erstmaligen Gesamtdarstellung widmet sich dieses Buch der Frage, ob und gegebenenfalls inwieweit es zulässig ist, Kinder als Spender von Körperbestandteilen heranzuziehen oder sogar eigens zu diesem Zweck zu zeugen. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet dabei das Spannungsverhältnis, dass die Kinder zwar zunächst den Befugnissen der Eltern unterstehen, diese jedoch die kindlichen Interessen nicht unberücksichtigt lassen dürfen und elterliche Entscheidungsbefugnisse überdies mit Heranwachsen des Kindes zunehmend in den Hintergrund treten müssen. Die je nach Spendekonstellation unterschiedlich intensiven Eingriffe in die kindlichen Rechte, aber auch die verschiedenen Abstufungen eines möglichen Nutzens für das Spenderkind werden herausgearbeitet und mit Blick auf ihre medizinischen, ethischen und rechtlichen Implikationen analysiert. Zudem wird geprüft, ob in Deutschland derzeit eine widerspruchsfreie Rechtslage hinsichtlich der Erlaubnis respektive des Verbots einzelner Spendeformen durch Kinder existiert oder Handlungs- bzw. Harmonisierungsbedarf besteht. Die untersuchten Rechtsgebiete erstrecken sich vom Medizin- über das Zivil-, hier insbesondere das Familienrecht, bis hin zum Verfassungsrecht; der thematische Bogen reicht dabei von Neugeborenen bis Jugendlichen, Eigen- bis Fremdspenden, Blut- bis Organspenden und schließlich bis hin zur höchst umstrittenen Selektion sog. „Retterkinder” mittels PID.
