Par Kevin J Palmer. 2015
Pourquoi des étudiants en médecine ont-ils enlevé des cadavres dans les lieux de sépulture durant près de six décennies (c.…
1820-1883) au Québec ? Cette science nécessaire fait la lumière sur une histoire originale et méconnue, en nous plongeant dans l’univers macabre des étudiants en médecine du XIXe siècle.On y croise religieuses hospitalières, chiens protégeant les tombes, juges, patients d’institutions psychiatriques, policiers, évêques, ainsi qu’un grand nombre de médecins. Anglophones ou francophones, tous s’animent autour d’une même question : quels morts peut-on disséquer pour apprendre l’anatomie humaine et devenir un médecin compétent ? Écrit dans un style accessible, à partir de sources fascinantes et souvent inédites, Cette science nécessaire montre l’essor de la profession médicale au Québec en expliquant, par exemple, comment une émeute d’étudiants à coups de fémurs transforme la médecine canadienne, comment Trois-Rivières devient une plaque tournante du transport ferroviaire de cadavres, ou encore pourquoi les squelettes fument la pipe sur les images de salles de dissection de l’époque. Le rôle majeur des organisations catholiques et protestantes dans l’enseignement médical au Québec est mis en évidence : Montréal au XIXe siècle devient un environnement médical hybride où coexistent des établissements francophones et anglophones, ayant peu d’équivalents au monde.Cette science nécessaire est une lecture essentielle, tant pour mieux comprendre l’histoire de la formation médicale au Québec et dans le monde, que pour mettre en contexte les débats actuels sur le respect et la dignité dans les pratiques médicales et funéraires.In eighteenth-century Britain the worlds of literature and medicine were closely intertwined, and a diverse group of people participated in…
the circulation of medical knowledge. In this pre-professionalized milieu, several women writers made important contributions by describing a range of common yet often devastating illnesses.In Reimagining Illness Heather Meek reads works by six major eighteenth-century women writers – Jane Barker, Anne Finch, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Frances Burney – alongside contemporaneous medical texts to explore conditions such as hysteria, melancholy, smallpox, maternity, consumption, and breast cancer. In novels, poems, letters, and journals, these writers drew on their learning and literary skill as they engaged with and revised male-dominated medical discourse. Their works provide insight into the experience of suffering and interrogate accepted theories of women’s bodies and minds. In ways relevant both then and now, these women demonstrate how illness might be at once a bodily condition and a malleable construct full of ideological meaning and imaginative possibility.Reimagining Illness offers a new account of the vital period in medico-literary history between 1660 and 1815, revealing how the works of women writers not only represented the medicine of their time but also contributed meaningfully to its developments.Immunotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer (Cancer Immunotherapy #1)
Par Anthony T. C. Chan, Brigette B. Y. Ma. 2023
This book is a comprehensive summary of the literature on the scientific rationale and clinical development of immunotherapy for head…
and neck cancers.Head and neck cancer is a biologically diverse group of cancers that bear a common hallmark - evasion of host immune surveillance through innate or acquired mechanisms. The etiological association between the Human Papilloma virus (HPV) and some squamous head and neck cancers, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and nasopharyngeal cancer has provided further impetus for evaluating immunotherapy in this group of cancers. The successful development of anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/ ligand (PD-L1) and CTLA-4 antibodies in solid tumours has gradually brought immunotherapy into mainstream oncological practice in recent years. Besides immune-checkpoint proteins inhibitors, other forms of immunotherapy such as vaccines, EBV or HPV-targeting therapies and cellular therapies are actively being investigated in clinical trials, either alone or in combination with other conventional treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. In clinical setting, the practicing oncologist need to be familiar with some unusual patterns of immunological response such as pseudo-progression and hyper-progression in patients with head and neck cancers who are undergoing treatment with immune-checkpoint inhibitors. Furthermore, the unique side effects of immune-checkpoint inhibitors such as autoimmune toxicities need to be recognized early and treated expediently. The development of biomarkers in predicting response to immune-checkpoint inhibitors has played pivotal roles in selecting patients for immunotherapy in practice or as an enrichment strategy in clinical trials. There are now emerging data on the clinical utility of biomarkers such as PD-L1 expression (Combined Positive Score), gene signatures and tumor mutational burden. This book is an invaluable companion to all those who are involved in research and clinical management of patients with head and neck cancers from any endemic regions.Ultrasound in Peripheral, Neuraxial and Perineuraxial Regional Anaesthesia

Par Mary-Frances Winters. 2020
This is the first book to define and explore Black fatigue, the intergenerational impact of systemic racism on the physical…
and psychological health of Black people—and explain why and how society needs to collectively do more to combat its pernicious effects.Black people, young and old, are fatigued, says award-winning diversity and inclusion leader Mary-Frances Winters. It is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining to continue to experience inequities and even atrocities, day after day, when justice is a God-given and legislated right. And it is exhausting to have to constantly explain this to white people, even—and especially—well-meaning white people, who fall prey to white fragility and too often are unwittingly complicit in upholding the very systems they say they want dismantled.This book, designed to illuminate the myriad dire consequences of &“living while Black,&” came at the urging of Winters's Black friends and colleagues. Winters describes how in every aspect of life—from economics to education, work, criminal justice, and, very importantly, health outcomes—for the most part, the trajectory for Black people is not improving. It is paradoxical that, with all the attention focused over the last fifty years on social justice and diversity and inclusion, little progress has been made in actualizing the vision of an equitable society. Black people are quite literally sickand tired of being sick and tired. Winters writes that &“my hope for this book is that it will provide a comprehensive summary of the consequences of Black fatigue, and awaken activism in those who care about equity and justice—those who care that intergenerational fatigue is tearing at the very core of a whole race of people who are simply asking for what they deserve.&”The Creativity Leap: Unleash Curiosity, Improvisation, and Intuition at Work
Par Natalie Nixon. 2020
"Natalie Nixon's new book provides a fresh primer on how to cultivate creativity in the workplace.&” —Nir Eyal, bestselling author…
of Hooked and IndistractableToo many people associate creativity solely with the arts, even though to be an incredible scientist, engineer, or entrepreneur requires immense creativity. And it's the key to developing breakthrough products and services. Natalie Nixon, a creativity strategist with a background in cultural anthropology, fashion, and service design, says that in the fourth industrial revolution a creativity leap is needed to bridge the gap that exists between the churn of work and the highly sought-after prize called innovation.Nixon says that since humans are hardwired to be creative, it is a competency anyone can develop. She shows that it balances wonder (awe, audacity, and curiosity) with rigor (discipline, skill-building, and attention to detail), and that inquiry, improvisation, and intuitionare the key practices that increase those capacities. Drawing on interviews with fifty-six people from diverse backgrounds—farming, law, plumbing, architecture, perfumery, medicine, education, technology, and more—she offers illuminating examples of how creativity manifests in every kind of work. Combining creativity tools and techniques with real-world stories of innovative people and businesses, this book is a provocation, an inspiration, and an invitation to unleash the innate creativity that lies within each of us. It offers a more dynamic and integrative way to adapt and innovate, one that allows us the freedom to access our full human selves.Teresita Gómez: Música, toda una vida

Teresita Gómez como nunca antes se había contado.
