Piecing the Puzzle: The Genesis of AIDS Research in Africa
by Larry KrotzIn 1979, Dr. Allan Ronald, a specialist in infectious diseases from Canada, and Dr. Herbert Nsanze, head of medical microbiology at University of Nairobi, met through the World Health Organization. Ronald had just completed a successful project that cured a chancroid (genital ulcer) epidemic in Winnipeg and Nsanze asked him to come to Kenya to help with Kenya’s “sexual diseases problem.” That initial invitation led to a groundbreaking international scientific collaboration that would uncover critical pieces in the complex puzzle that became today’s HIV/AIDS pandemic. In Piecing the Puzzle, journalist and documentary filmmaker Larry Krotz chronicles the fascinating history of the pioneering Kenyan, Canadian, Belgian, and American research team that uncovered HIV/AIDS in Kenya, their scientific breakthroughs and setbacks, and their exceptional thirty-year relationship that began a new era of global health collaboration.

Piety and Plague: From Byzantium to the Baroque (Sixteenth Century Essays & Studies #78)
by Thomas Worcester Franco MormandoPlague was one of the enduring facts of everyday life on the European continent, from earliest antiquity through the first decades of the eighteenth century. It represents one of the most important influences on the development of Europe’s society and culture. In order to understand the changing circumstances of the political, economic, ecclesiastical, artistic, and social history of that continent, it is important to understand epidemic disease and society’s response to it.To date, the largest portion of scholarship about plague has focused on its political, economic, demographic, and medical aspects. This interdisciplinary volume offers greater coverage of the religious and the psychological dimensions of plague and of European society’s response to it through many centuries and over a wide geographical terrain, including Byzantium. This research draws extensively upon a wealth of primary sources, both printed and painted, and includes ample bibliographical reference to the most important secondary sources, providing much new insight into how generations of Europeans responded to this dread disease.

Pijn: Nieuwe inzichten – andere aanpak
by Ben van CranenburghDit boek maakt deel uit van de zesdelige serie ‘Toegepaste neurowetenschappen’. Inzichten over pijn zijn de laatste vijftig jaren herhaaldelijk ingrijpend gewijzigd. Pijn, nieuwe inzichten – andere aanpak biedt het pijn-gedachtegoed zoals dat nu geformuleerd kan worden op basis van vele wetenschappelijke onderzoekingen. Pijn is lang niet altijd een direct gevolg van weefselschade, maar is een uiterst variabele en flexibele gewaarwording die meestal van veel factoren tegelijk afhangt. In het boek komt pijn vanuit vijf verschillende perspectieven aan de orde:1. Het denken over pijn: wat is pijn? Reflecties over de zin van pijn, de vele dimensies van pijn, de oorsprong van pijn.2. Neurowetenschappen. De rol van het perifere en centrale zenuwstelsel: de hersengebieden die bij pijn betrokken zijn, de rol van pijnmodulerende systemen en plasticiteit.3. Psychologie. De huidige praktijk gaat nog vaak uit van een dualistische filosofie: als er geen somatische oorzaak gevonden wordt, is het psychisch. Dit boek rekent af met dit ‘simplistisch dualisme’ en biedt andere, meer genuanceerde denkmodellen.4. Pijnsyndromen: viscerogene pijn en diverse neurogene pijnsyndromen (o.a. CRPS en fantoompijn) worden besproken. Nieuwe verklaringsmodellen voor chronische pijn worden gepresenteerd: neurale reorganisatie en sensitisatie.5. Evaluatie en behandeling. Wat is een goede pijnanalyse? Hoe kan pijn in kaart worden gebracht? Welke overwegingen leiden tot de keuze van een interventie? Nieuwe verklaringsmodellen voor pijn openen nieuwe, vooral niet-farmacologische wegen voor behandeling.Het boek bevat geen kant-en-klare recepten voor pijnbestrijding, maar stelt primair het denken over pijn aan de orde, vanuit de overtuiging dat in de klinische praktijk het denken steeds aan het handelen vooraf dient te gaan.Pijn, nieuwe inzichten – andere aanpak kan een nuttige functie hebben in diverse opleidingen (medisch, paramedisch, psychologie). Dit boek kan ook worden gebruikt als gemeenschappelijk startpunt bij het vormen van een interdisciplinair pijnteam. Vooral dan is een zekere consensus wat betreft uitgangspunten en visie over pijn van belang.De complete tekst met figuren is ook online als e-book beschikbaar met extra bijlagen, zoals de Pijnvragenlijst en ook diverse casuïstiek ter beoordeling. Bij elk hoofdstuk zijn bovendien oefenvragen, samenvattingen en een uitgebreide literatuurlijst te vinden.
Pijn: Vanuit een neurowetenschappelijk perspectief
by Ben CranenburghDit boek bevat geen kant-en-klare recepten voor pijnbestrijding, maar stelt primair het denken over pijn aan de orde, vanuit de overtuiging dat in de klinische praktijk het denken steeds aan het handelen vooraf dient te gaan. Pijn, vanuit een neurowetenschappelijk perspectief is het derde deel van de vierdelige serie ´Toegepaste neurowetenschappen´. Inzichten over pijn zijn de laatste vijftig jaren herhaaldelijk ingrijpend gewijzigd. Pijn is lang niet altijd een direct gevolg van weefselschade, maar is een uiterst variabele en flexibele gewaarwording die meestal van veel factoren tegelijk afhangt. Het vaak impliciete uitgangspunt ´pijn is vervelend en moet dus bestreden worden´ is achterhaald. In plaats daarvan komt een zorgvuldige analyse van de zin van pijn. Pijn kan een signaal zijn voor onraad in de ruimste zin van het woord, maar pijn kan ook een doel hebben: het dwingt een zinvolle gedragsverandering af. Het domweg bestrijden van pijn kan daarom riskant zijn. Filosofische, psychologische, fysiologische en neurologische benaderingen sluiten vaak goed op elkaar aan. De neurowetenschappen zorgen voor de stevige brug tussen deze invalshoeken. In het boek komt pijn in vijf te onderscheiden gedeelten aan de orde. 1 Concepten over pijn: reflecties over de zin van pijn, de vele dimensies van pijn, de oorsprong van pijn. 2 Neurowetenschappen. De rol van het perifere (pijnvezels) en het centrale zenuwstelsel (pijn in het brein) komen uitvoerig aan de orde. Belangrijke nieuwe ontwikkelingen hebben plaatsgevonden betreffende de hersengebieden die bij pijn betrokken zijn, plastische veranderingen en de rol van pijnmodulerende systemen. 3 Psychologie. In de praktijk wordt ook nu nog vaak ervan uitgegaan dat chronische pijn een somatische of psychische oorzaak heeft: het 'dualistische simplisme'. Dit boek tracht een nuancering aan te brengen door verschillende psychologische denkmodellen te presenteren: de psychofysiologische, de operante en de cognitieve verklaringswijzen voor pijn. 4 Pijnsyndromen: viscerogene pijn, diverse neurogene pijnsyndromen (o.a. CRPS en fantoompijn). Nieuwe verklaringsmodellen voor chronische pijn worden gepresenteerd: neurale reorganisatie en sensitisatie. 5 Evaluatie en behandeling. Hoe kan pijn in kaart worden gebracht en wat kan de betekenis hiervan zijn voor de praktijk? Argumenten op grond waarvan een placebo- en nocebo-effecten wordt benadrukt. Speciale aandacht wordt gegeven aan neuromodulatietherapieën: pijnbehandeling door prikkeling zoals acupunctuur, vibratie, muziek en TENS. Afsluitend worden enkele adviezen gegeven voor een pijnanalyse in de praktijk volgens de 'empirische cyclus': het 'denken over pijn' wordt verwerkt in het klinisch handelen.Het boek kan een nuttige functie hebben in diverse opleidingen (medisch, paramedisch, psychologie). Het kan ook worden gebruikt als gemeenschappelijk startpunt bij het vormen van een interdisciplinair pijnteam. Vooral dan is een zekere consensus wat betreft uitgangspunten en visie over pijn van belang.
Pijneducatie: Een praktische handleiding voor (para)medici
by Jo Nijs Paul Van WilgenDit boek is een praktische handleiding bij het geven van pijneducatie. Het is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde interventie die bijdraagt aan een succesvolle behandeling van patiënten met chronische pijn.Ongeveer twintig procent van de volwassenen woonachtig in westerse landen heeft chronische pijn. Pijn ontstaat door activering van een menselijk (brein) netwerk met activering van verschillende hersendelen. Lang is gedacht dat pijn wordt bepaald door de mate van schade aan aan lichaamsweefsels. Dit is echter niet het geval. Veel mensen hebben pijn waar geen schade meer is. Hoog tijd om patiënten uit te leggen wat pijn is en wat de waarde is van kennis over pijn om uit de cirkel te komen van negatieve (ziekmakende) gedachten over het lichaam en toegenomen angst.Het boek bevat informatie over de neurofysiologie van acute en chronische pijn (centrale sensitisatie) en het toepassen van pijneducatie. Deze tweede druk is volledig herzien in de theorie, de diagnostiek en bevat vier nieuwe hoofdstukken over het toepassen van pijneducatie bij specifieke doelgroepen; pijn bij/na kanker, kinderen met pijn, postoperatieve (rugpijn) patiënten en pijneducatie in een transdisciplinaire setting.Dit boek is bedoeld voor fysiotherapeuten, oefentherapeuten, psychologen, verpleegkundigen, huisartsen en andere hulpverleners die werken met patiënten met chronische pijn.

Pills for the Poorest: An Exploration of TRIPS and Access to Medication in Sub-Saharan Africa (Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies)
by E. CloatreThe desperate need for a vast part of the global population to access better medicines in more certain ways is one of the biggest concerns of the modern era. Pills for the Poorest offers a new perspective on the much-debated issue of the links between intellectual property and access to medication. Using ethnographic case studies in Djibouti and Ghana, and insights from actor-network theory, it explores the ways in which TRIPs and pharmaceutical patents are translated in the daily practices of those who purchase, distribute, and use (or fail to use) medicines in sub-Saharan Africa. It suggests that focusing on routine practices and the material deployment of intellectual property significantly enriches our understanding of the complex dynamics that animate the field of access to medicines and helps relocate the role of law within those processes. It demonstrates how intellectual property affects access to medicines in ways that are often discreet, indirect and forgotten. By exploring these complex mechanisms, it seeks to ask questions about the modes of actions of pharmaceutical patents, but also, more generally, about the complexity of legal objects.

Pills, Power, and Policy
by Dominique A. TobbellSince the 1950s, the American pharmaceutical industry has been heavily criticized for its profit levels, the high cost of prescription drugs, drug safety problems, and more, yet it has, together with the medical profession, staunchly and successfully opposed regulation.Pills, Power, and Policyoffers a lucid history of how the American drug industry and key sectors of the medical profession came to be allies against pharmaceutical reform. It details the political strategies they have used to influence public opinion, shape legislative reform, and define the regulatory environment of prescription drugs. Untangling the complex relationships between drug companies, physicians, and academic researchers, the book provides essential historical context for understanding how corporate interests came to dominate American health care policy after World War II.

Pineal Region Lesions: Management Strategies and Controversial Issues
by Ioan Stefan FlorianNeurosurgical lesions of the pineal region are extremely rare, accounting for roughly 1% of the total number of neurosurgical expansive lesions in modern practice. This book offers an up-to-date review of the relevant literature, combined with the personal perspectives of some highly experienced figures in the field. The book is divided into two main parts, the first of which offers an overview of the pineal region from an anatomic, pathologic, imaging and therapeutic perspective. Special attention is given to surgical approaches to pineal region lesions. Microsurgical techniques are presented, together with detailed indications regarding specific locations of these lesions, specific complications, and controversial aspects concerning some of the approaches. A dedicated chapter addresses endoscopic techniques, their indications and limitations. Adjuvant therapies are also discussed, along with their particular indications and debated aspects.In turn, the chapters in the second part cover specific lesions such as pineal region tumors, vascular lesions, and cystic and cyst-like lesions. Regarding pineal region tumors, the most frequent pathologies are presented in the most comprehensive and practical manner possible, with special attention to the appropriate therapeutic management for each type. Further, there is a dedicated chapter on pineal region cysts. Given its depth of content, the book will allow neurosurgeons and specialists to greatly expand their understanding of pineal region lesions in daily clinical practice.
