Scourge: The Once and Future Threat of Smallpox
by Jonathan B. TuckerJonathan B. Tucker traces the history of the smallpox virus from its first recorded outbreak around 3700 B.C. through its use as the first biological warfare agent in human history, and draws some decisively important lessons for the future. In a timely debate, Tucker addresses the ever-growing concerns about the proliferation of the deadly smallpox virus and its use by terrorist organizations. Explaining how the eradication of the disease in the late 1970s encouraged military research and production of the virus, he exposes the failure of the Russian government to secure its remaining cold-war stockpiles, and evaluates the past and present measures undertaken by the United States to counter the existing dangers of a smallpox attack. Ultimately, he passionately argues for the strengthening of the existing legal ban on the development and possession of biological weapons.
Scrambling For Africa: AIDS, Expertise, and the Rise of American Global Health Science (Expertise: Cultures and Technologies of Knowledge)
by Johanna Tayloe CraneCountries in sub-Saharan Africa were once dismissed by Western experts as being too poor and chaotic to benefit from the antiretroviral drugs that transformed the AIDS epidemic in the United States and Europe. Today, however, the region is courted by some of the most prestigious research universities in the world as they search for resource-poor hospitals in which to base their international HIV research and global health programs. In Scrambling for Africa, Johanna Tayloe Crane reveals how, in the space of merely a decade, Africa went from being a continent largely excluded from advancements in HIV medicine to an area of central concern and knowledge production within the increasingly popular field of global health science. Drawing on research conducted in the U. S. and Uganda during the mid-2000s, Crane provides a fascinating ethnographic account of the transnational flow of knowledge, politics, and research money as well as blood samples, viruses, and drugs. She takes readers to underfunded Ugandan HIV clinics as well as to laboratories and conference rooms in wealthy American cities like San Francisco and Seattle where American and Ugandan experts struggle to forge shared knowledge about the AIDS epidemic. The resulting uncomfortable mix of preventable suffering, humanitarian sentiment, and scientific ambition shows how global health research partnerships may paradoxically benefit from the very inequalities they aspire to redress. A work of outstanding interdisciplinary scholarship, Scrambling for Africa will be of interest to audiences in anthropology, science and technology studies, African studies, and the medical humanities.
ScreeLing: handleiding
by Evy Visch-Brink M. van de Sandt-Koenderman Hanane HachiouiDoel van de testMet de ScreeLing is screent men in korte tijd op afatische stoornissen op de linguïstische niveaus semantiek (woordbetekenis), fonologie (klankherkenning) en syntaxis (zinsstructuur). Het unieke van de ScreeLing is dat deze taalverwerkingsniveaus in één test verenigd zijn. Nog belangrijker is dat de ScreeLing al in de eerste week na een beroerte of een hersentrauma kan worden afgenomen. Door in een vroeg stadium de ScreeLing af te nemen, kan snel met gerichte therapie (bijvoorbeeld cognitief-linguïstische therapie) worden gestart. Zo wordt ingespeeld op het natuurlijke herstel van de neurale circuits die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de semantische, fonologische en/of syntactische taalverwerking. Het resultaat van de therapie verbetert daarmee. Daarnaast helpt vroegtijdig inzicht in het linguïstische patroon van de afatische stoornis patiënten en hun familie om beter om te gaan met moeilijke communicatieve situaties. In de eerste drie maanden na het ontstaan van het hersenletsel kan de ScreeLing worden gebruikt om herstelpatronen vast te stellen, al dan niet in samenhang met gegeven therapie. Ook in het chronische stadium van de afasie kan de Screeling worden ingezet om snel een globaal beeld te krijgen van de aangetaste linguïstische niveaus.Toepassing• Screening: stelt stoornissen vast in de linguïstische niveaus semantiek, fonologie en syntaxis• Diagnostiek: geeft een eerste indicatie van de afatische stoornis, waarna de afasie uitgebreider kan worden onderzocht.• Behandeling: geeft een indicatie voor de te kiezen therapie• Evaluatie: brengt herstelpatronen in kaart en het effect van therapie.Wat meet de ScreeLing?De ScreeLing meet het functioneren van afatici op het gebied van de semantiek, fonologie en syntaxis. Voor een zo specifiek mogelijke diagnostiek zijn deze hoofdschalen steeds onderverdeeld in 4 subschalen (diagnostische taken) die de essentie weergeven van de taalverwerking op de drie gebieden.• Semantiek: 1. matchen woord/afbeelding 2. beoordeling semantisch goede en foute zinnen 3. woordassociatie 4. categoriseren (‘odd word out’)• Fonologie: 1. nazeggen 2. hardop lezen 3. foneemgelijkenis 4. foneemanalyse• Syntaxis: 1. matchen woord of zin met afbeelding 2. wie/wat/waar-vragen 3. beoordeling syntactisch goede en foute zinnen 4. invullen functiewoordenVoor wie?De ScreeLing wordt afgenomen door logopedisten en klinisch linguïsten.

Screening Adult Neurological Populations (2nd Edition): A Step-by-Step Instruction Manual
by Sharon A. Gutman Alison B. SchonfeldThis book is intended to be a functional and easy-to-understand instruction manual describing the most common screening methods for patients with neurological disorders. It is designed to allow therapists to easily identify possible impairment, document identified dysfunction, and determine if further in-depth evaluation is warranted.
Screening and Risk Reduction Strategies for Breast Cancer: Imaging Modality and Risk-Reduction Approaches
by Masakazu ToiThis book provides readers with the most up-to-date practical information on breast cancer screening. Since breast cancers are highly heterogeneous, time to clinical onset from the initial carcinogenesis differs diversely between cancers. Pathological germline variants and driver mutations cause a high lifetime risk of breast cancer. The lifetime risks are various according to what genes are pathologically dysfunctional. Integrated omics and imaging technologies have established varying tumour characteristics. Thus, this book suggests that a more individualised scheme is required to improve breast cancer screening. A key aim is to demonstrate how multiple diagnostic imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasonography, MRI, PET and dbPET improve breast cancer screening accuracy. Mammography screening alone may have a limited impact on breast cancer risk prediction. These issues are crucial to discuss. Clinical experts recommend that new modalities be incorporated for women with dense breasts, like ultrasonography, dynamic mammography, MRI and maybe breast-dedicated PET. Topics on these modalities are going to be summarized in this book. An in-depth review of these modalities is summarised in this book. In addition, new diagnostic modalities, including risk assessment tools, multi-cancer early detection tests using liquid biopsy, the role of protein biomarkers in breast cancer risk screening, challenges, and hopes for future advances, are also covered in this book.
Screening for Depression and Other Psychological Problems in Diabetes
by Cathy E. Lloyd Frans Pouwer Norbert HermannsThis book is divided into two main sections, and covers a broad range of issues important for health practitioners to be aware of when caring for people with co-morbid diabetes and depression. Section One of the book contains the overall ideas and the more recent developments in measuring psychological morbidity in people with diabetes. When attempting to identify people with depression or other psychological problems, it is important for practitioners to recognize the limitations of screening as well as its utility. Issues such as the basic principles regarding when and when not to screen, the cultural applicability of tools, different questionnaire formats and key concepts such as sensitivity and specificity of tools, and their positive and negative predictive value, will be considered. In particular there has been increased interest in the concept of diabetes-related distress and several tools have been developed to measure this. There are broad-based measures of distress such as the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) scale, the Diabetes Adjustment Scale (DAS), The Diabetes Health Profile, The Fear of Hypoglycemia Scale, etc. There are also a range of generic quality of life tools which have been used effectively in people with diabetes; for example the Medical Outcomes Survey Short-Forms (SF36, SF12), the World Health Organisation Well-being questionnaire (WHO-5) and the EQ5-D. These tools are important because they measure aspects of psychological well-being that are specifically associated with the experience of having a long-term conditions and so have important implications for both self-care and health care practice. The potential overlap of symptoms of depression and symptoms of diabetes-related distress are considered in this section and the implications for practice discussed. Section Two covers the most commonly used tools that have been used to screen for depression. For each tool considered some information which is easily referred to by the readeris set out in a table which includes details of the authors, time of first use, country where it was first developed, some examples of the questions used, the languages it is available in, data on sensitivity/specificity. Each instrument will then be discussed in terms of its use in research as well as practice, and its applicability in different patient groups, different cultural settings and so on. Guidance on the practical use of each tool is included, and the most popular depression screening tools are focussed on.
Screening in Child Health Care: Report of the Dutch Working Party on Child Health Care
by Micha De WinterChild surveillance is a subject of increasing scientific social and political debate in many countries of the world. In the UK protocols for effective action are based on a government report 'Health for all children'. The research which gave rise to these protocols has been developed further in the Netherlands and drawing on the experience of other health care systems has produced conclusions which challenge some widely-accepted assumptions about appropriate procedures. This book reviews the international research and recommendations of the Dutch working party. It presents an authoritative and practical survey of the contents and frequency of child health surveillance programmes procedures for quality control and improvement possibilities for parental involvement and the levels of expertise necessary to run programmes effectively. It offers a clear vision of a more sophisticated approach to child health care and is therefore an important reference for community paediatricians and others involved in the development of primary care.
Screening in Disease Prevention: What Works?
by Walter W Holland Susie StewartScreening for disease has become a widely accepted concept in health care. Screening in Disease Prevention takes a critical look at the practice of screening throughout the various stages of life. The book highlights three current challenges: the increasing consumer, media and commercial focus on health in general and screening in particular; providing accurate and understandable information; and tackling the continuing variation in the uptake of screening between different areas of the country and different socio-economic groups. Screening in Disease Prevention is important reading for public health professionals, particularly those involved in screening programs. Policy makers and shapers, medical researchers, pressure groups and support organizations for people with screenable conditions will also find it a valuable reference.
Screeningsinstrument voor Dysfagie bij mensen met een Verstandelijke beperking (SD-VB): Handleiding
by Marloes Schüller-Korevaar Susanna van der Woude Johanna Hovenkamp-Hermelink Alain DekkerDit screeningsinstrument helpt om een verhoogd risico op voedings- en slikproblemen (dysfagie) op te sporen bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking. Het maakt daarvoor niet uit wat de oorzaak is van de beperking, of wat het niveau van de cliënten is. Met behulp van het screeningsinstrument voor dysfagie bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking (SD-VB) wordt ondersignalering van dysfagie bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking voorkomen. Een verhoogd risico op dysfagie wordt tijdig in kaart gebracht waardoor adequaat diagnostiek en behandelbeleid kan worden ingezet. Dit leidt tot verlaging van risico’s en verbetering van de kwaliteit van leven.Deze handleiding bevat naast de verantwoording van de ontwikkeling en gebruikersinstructies (afname, scoring, interpretatie) ook een beschrijving van het cyclische dysfagiewerkproces waarin het SD-VB idealiter wordt ingezet. Dit proces, beginnend bij het moment van screenen op verhoogd dysfagierisico tot enmet het uitvoeren en evalueren van het logopedisch behandelbeleid, is onmisbaar voor goede dysfagiescreening, -diagnostiek en -behandeling in de praktijk.Het SD-VB bestaat uit 29 ja/nee-vragen over eet- en drinkgedrag. Zorgverleners kunnen dit gemiddeld in vier minuten invullen. Ze hebben hiervoor geen cursus nodig. De interpretatie van de scores is voorbehouden aan logopedisten.Marloes Schüller-Korevaar en Susanna van der Woude zijn beiden logopedist-onderzoeker, Ans Hovenkamp-Hermelink is senior onderzoeker. Zij zijn werkzaam bij de afdeling Praktijkgericht Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek van Alliade, net als Alain Dekker die hoofd van deze afdeling is.
Screenwriting from the Inside Out: Think and Write like a Creative
by Margaret McVeighThis book provides aspiring screenwriters with a practical and informed way to learn how to think and write like a “creative”. It stands apart from, yet complements, other screenwriting “how to” books by connecting the transdisciplinary academic fields of screenwriting, film studies and cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Using a stepped approach, it shows the writer how to understand that how we think, shapes what we write, so that we may write better.
Scripting Death: Stories of Assisted Dying in America (California Series in Public Anthropology #50)
by Mara BuchbinderHow the legalization of assisted dying is changing our lives. Over the past five years, medical aid-in-dying (also known as assisted suicide) has expanded rapidly in the United States and is now legally available to one in five Americans. This growing social and political movement heralds the possibility of a new era of choice in dying. Yet very little is publicly known about how medical aid-in-dying laws affect ordinary citizens once they are put into practice. Sociological studies of new health policies have repeatedly demonstrated that the realities often fall short of advocacy visions, raising questions about how much choice and control aid-in-dying actually affords. Scripting Death chronicles two years of ethnographic research documenting the implementation of Vermont’s 2013 Patient Choice and Control at End of Life Act. Author Mara Buchbinder weaves together stories collected from patients, caregivers, health care providers, activists, and legislators to illustrate how they navigate aid-in-dying as a new medical frontier in the aftermath of legalization. Scripting Death explains how medical aid-in-dying works, what motivates people to pursue it, and ultimately, why upholding the "right to die" is very different from ensuring access to this life-ending procedure. This unprecedented, in-depth account uses the case of assisted death as an entry point into ongoing cultural conversations about the changing landscape of death and dying in the United States.
Scrotal Pathology
by Carlo Trombetta Michele BertolottoScrotal Pathology is a comprehensive practical guide to the management of patients who present with scrotal disorders. Introductory chapters consider imaging instrumentation, clinical evaluation, and clinical and imaging anatomy. The full range of disorders is then discussed in individual chapters organized according to clinical presentation. All clinical and imaging aspects are covered in depth, with full description of symptoms and explanation of the value of different clinical tests and imaging modalities. In addition, underlying histopathological features are presented and correlated with imaging features in order to clarify their pathological basis. For each disorder, therapeutic strategies are discussed and appraised. Adults and children are considered separately whenever necessary, bearing in mind that they often present essentially different scrotal pathology. The many images are all of high quality and were obtained using high-end equipment.
Scrub Nurse in Minimally Invasive and Robotic General Surgery: Endorsed by the Italian Society of Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgery & New technologies and by the Italian Association of Scrub Nurses
by Ferdinando Agresta Marco Milone Mario Guerrieri Wanda Petz Alberto Arezzo Salvatore CasaranoThis comprehensive book provides an excellent overview on the role of the scrub and circulating nurse during minimally invasive procedures and a detailed description of the specific instruments adopted during surgical procedures in each subspecialty areas as esophago-gastric, colorectal, endocrino-metabolic, hepato-biliary, spleno-pancreatic and abdominal wall surgery. The concept that laparoscopy now allows everyone to actively see all the surgical steps and therefore to be no longer just a simple “another man/woman in the theatre” but an active actor. The need therefore for all the nurses – and above all the scrub ones - to know and to have the knowledge - and therefore to have in a sort of parallelism thanks to this manual - the purely medical surgical steps with the corresponding and parallel nursing ones: an added value in the training and preparation of the all the people involved in surgery. This practical book correlated by images guides scrub nurse in all operative phases. The Scrub Nurse in Minimally Invasive and Robotic General Surgery also explores the legal aspects in the scrub nursing.The Italian Society of Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgery & New technologies and the Italian Association of Scrub Nurses endorse this book.
Sculptor and Destroyer: Tales of Glutamatethe Brain's Most Important Neurotransmitter
by Mark P. MattsonThe fascinating story of glutamate, the neurotransmitter that controls the structure and function of the brain in health and neurological disorders.Sculptor and Destroyer tells the story of a simple, little-known molecule that became a master architect and commander of the human brain: glutamate. Upward of 90 percent of the neurons in the human brain deploy glutamate as their neurotransmitter. Other neurotransmitters can only exert their effects on brain function by subtly modifying the ongoing activity of glutamatergic neurons, but during brain development glutamate controls the growth of dendrites and the formation of synapses. In this eye-opening book, Mark Mattson explains how the neurotransmitter glutamate controls the structure and function of neuronal networks in the brain, thereby mediating the brain&’s capabilities, including learning and memory, creativity, and imagination.Mattson also delves deeply into the dark side of glutamate, which he calls the &“destroyer&” side. He shows how relatively subtle aberrancies in the activity of neurons that deploy glutamate may result in behavioral disorders ranging from autism and schizophrenia to chronic anxiety and depression. More dramatically, he describes how glutamate can excite neurons to death, a process that occurs in epilepsy and stroke and, perhaps even more insidiously, in Alzheimer&’s disease, Parkinson&’s disease, ALS, and Huntington&’s disease. Sculptor and Destroyer concludes with a perspective on how knowledge of glutamate&’s roles in neuroplasticity might be applied to the optimization of brain health throughout our lives.Written in engaging, approachable prose, Sculptor and Destroyer will be of interest to anyone in the fields of neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry, and psychology, as well as to anyone with a curiosity about the human brain.
Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner, and a Gentlemen Solved the Greatest Medical Mystery of the Age of Sail
by Stephen J. BownScurvy took a terrible toll in the Age of Sail, killing more sailors than were lost in all sea battles combined. The threat of the disease kept ships close to home and doomed those vessels that ventured too far from port. The willful ignorance of the royal medical elite, who endorsed ludicrous medical theories based on speculative research while ignoring the life-saving properties of citrus fruit, cost tens of thousands of lives and altered the course of many battles at sea. The cure for scurvy ranks among the greatest of human accomplishments, yet its impact on history has, until now, been largely ignored. From the earliest recorded appearance of the disease in the sixteenth century, to the eighteenth century, where a man had only half a chance of surviving the scourge, to the early nineteenth century, when the British conquered scurvy and successfully blockaded the French and defeated Napoleon, Scurvy is a medical detective story for the ages, the fascinating true story of how James Lind (the surgeon), James Cook (the mariner), and Gilbert Blane (the gentleman) worked separately to eliminate the dreaded affliction. Scurvy is an evocative journey back to the era of wooden ships and sails, when the disease infiltrated every aspect of seafaring life: press gangs "recruit" mariners on the way home from a late night at the pub; a terrible voyage in search of riches ends with a hobbled fleet and half the crew heaved overboard; Cook majestically travels the South Seas but suffers an unimaginable fate. Brimming with tales of ships, sailors, and baffling bureaucracy, Scurvy is a rare mix of compelling history and classic adventure story.
Scurvy: The Disease of Discovery
by Jonathan LambScurvy, a disease often associated with long stretches of maritime travel, generated sensations exceeding the standard of what was normal. Eyes dazzled, skin was morbidly sensitive, emotions veered between disgust and delight. In this book, Jonathan Lamb presents an intellectual history of scurvy unlike any other, probing the speechless encounter with powerful sensations to tell the story of the disease that its victims couldn't because they found their illness too terrible and, in some cases, too exciting.Drawing on historical accounts from scientists and voyagers as well as major literary works, Lamb traces the cultural impact of scurvy during the eighteenth-century age of geographical and scientific discovery. He explains the medical knowledge surrounding scurvy and the debates about its cause, prevention, and attempted cures. He vividly describes the phenomenon and experience of "scorbutic nostalgia," in which victims imagined mirages of food, water, or home, and then wept when such pleasures proved impossible to consume or reach. Lamb argues that a culture of scurvy arose in the colony of Australia, which was prey to the disease in its early years, and identifies a literature of scurvy in the works of such figures as Herman Melville, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Francis Bacon, and Jonathan Swift.Masterful and illuminating, Scurvy shows how the journeys of discovery in the eighteenth century not only ventured outward to the ends of the earth, but were also an inward voyage into the realms of sensation and passion.

Sea Bean: A Beachcomber's Search for a Magical Charm—A Memoir
by Sally Huband“Sea Bean is a coastal treasure. Its hard-won attentiveness shows the wonder and vulnerability of our interconnected oceans, wildlife, and people. In Sally's writing, beachcombing—an old island pursuit—is modern, revealing and restorative. The next time I am at the shore I will have a deeper appreciation and curiosity."—Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun and The InstantA Waterstones Nature and Travel Best Book of 2023Winner of the Highlands Book Prize 2023Longlisted for the Wainwright Nature PrizeA powerful journey of sea and self, trial and hope on the islands of Shetland, where climate change is making marked impacts on the natural world.When a seed falls from a vine in the tropics and is carried by ocean currents across the Atlantic to the shores of Western Europe, it is known as a sea bean. It’s long been lucky to find a sea bean upon the shore; these seeds have been collected and used as magical charms for more than a thousand years.Sally Huband's search for the elusive sea bean begins shortly after she moves to the windswept archipelago of Shetland, the northernmost region of Great Britain, situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. When pregnancy triggers a chronic illness and forces her to slow down, Sally turns to the beaches for solace and wellbeing. There, she discovers treasure freighted with story and curiosities that connect her to the world.The wild shores of Shetland offer glimpses of orcas swimming through the ocean at dusk, the chance to release a tiny storm petrel into the dark of the night, and a path of hope. This beachcombing path takes her from the Faroese archipelago to the Orkney islands, and the Dutch island of Texel. It opens a world of ancient myths, fragile ecology, and deep human history. It brings her to herself again.Sea Bean is a like a message in a bottle. It reveals the interconnection of our oceans, our communities, and ourselves, and offers both comfort and an invitation to feel belonging when we are adrift.
Seafood Choices: Balancing Benefits And Risks
by Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesThe fragmented information that consumers receive about the nutritional value and health risks associated with fish and shellfish can result in confusion or misperceptions about these food sources. Consumers are therefore confronted with a dilemma: they are told that seafood is good for them and should be consumed in large amounts, while at the same time the federal government and most states have issued advisories urging caution in the consumption of certain species or seafood from specific waters. Seafood Choices carefully explores the decision-making process for selecting seafood by assessing the evidence on availability of specific nutrients (compared to other food sources) to obtain the greatest nutritional benefits. The book prioritizes the potential for adverse health effects from both naturally occurring and introduced toxicants in seafood; assesses evidence on the availability of specific nutrients in seafood compared to other food sources; determines the impact of modifying food choices to reduce intake of toxicants on nutrient intake and nutritional status within the U.S. population; develops a decision path for U.S. consumers to weigh their seafood choices to obtain nutritional benefits balanced against exposure risks; and identifies data gaps and recommendations for future research. The information provided in this book will benefit food technologists, food manufacturers, nutritionists, and those involved in health professions making nutritional recommendations.
