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 Jonathan Leo. 2023
This second edition was updated and will again be of great value to medical and other allied health students. It…
seeks to aid students in gaining a general understanding of clinical anatomy before embarking on a specific discipline-focused program.The purpose of this text is not an exhaustive deep dive into all of gross anatomy. There are numerous other books that have done this. Likewise, it is not meant to be just a quick overview. Rather, it is meant to present each anatomical topic with clinical scenarios in mind. Hopefully, it will help first-year students with their course, second-year students looking for a refresher before boards, and third- and fourth-year students looking for a refresher before rotations.Organized among two sections, the first includes chapters that cover the anatomy of the head and neck, abdomen, thorax, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, upper limb, and back. What’s more, section two briefly examines the embryology and development of the organ systems, such as the development of major organs.This new edition is again an invaluable resource for students who wish to retain anatomical knowledge on the entire human body despite an eventual career in one particular discipline of medicine. It is complemented by its previously published sister text Medical Neuroanatomy for the Boards and the Clinic, now in second edition, which applies similar principles of anatomical information with a focus on identifying potentially malignant lesions.Ancient Medicine (Sciences of Antiquity)
Par Vivian Nutton. 2024
The third edition of this magisterial account of medicine in the Greek and Roman worlds, written by the foremost expert…
on the subject, has been updated to incorporate the many new discoveries made in the field over the past decade. This revised volume includes discussions of several new or forgotten works by Galen and his contemporaries, as well as of new archaeological material. RNA analysis has expanded our understanding of disease in the ancient world; the book explores the consequences of this for sufferers, for example in creating disability. Nutton also expands upon the treatment of pre-Galenic medicine in Greece and Rome. In addition, subtitles and a chronology will make for easier student consultation, and the bibliography is substantially revised and updated, providing avenues for future student research. This third edition of Ancient Medicine will remain the definitive textbook on the subject for students of medicine in the classical world, and the history of medicine and science more broadly, with much to interest scholars in the field as well.Bioactive Compounds Against SARS-CoV-2

Das Prostatakarzinom ist die häufigste Krebserkrankung des Mannes; allein in Deutschland gibt es etwa 70.000 Neuerkrankungen pro Jahr. Bei der…
krebsspezifischen Mortalität steht das Prostatakarzinom an dritter Stelle. Ein Viertel aller neu diagnostizierten PCA befinden sich bereits in fortgeschrittenem Stadium. Hierzu zählen neben den lokal fortgeschrittenen (cT3/4) auch die primär metastasierten (cN1 bzw. cM1) Tumorstadien. In der Vergangenheit bedeutete eine Metastasierung bei einem bekannten Prostatakarzinom eine nicht kurative Situation. Diese Sichtweise hat sich in den letzten Jahren geändert, da sowohl eine lokale Therapie, wie radikale Prostatektomie oder Bestrahlung in kurativer Dosierung des primären Prostatakarzinoms, ein verbessertes Outcome mit verbessertem Überleben der Patienten bedeutet. Das metastasierte Prostatakarzinom ist auch für erfahrene Behandler anspruchsvoll. In diesem Buch werden die aktuellen Standards zu Risikostratifizierung und Staging sowie den sich derzeit bietenden Therapieoptionen zusammengefasst.Das aktuelle Fachbuch zum Thema für alle Urologen, Onkologen, Strahlentherapeuten, Nuklearmediziner und Internisten.Gesundheit – Teilhabechancen – Diskriminierungsrisiken: Health in All Policies als Querschnittsaufgabe bei Beeinträchtigungen und Behinderung (Gesundheitsförderung - Rehabilitation - Teilhabe)

will be a comprehensive overview of clinical and pre-clinical MRS applications and potential clinical utility of MRS biomarkers in degenerative brain diseases from leading experts in the field. MRS has proven to be a powerful complementary tool to MRI for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression and response to treatment because it can detect changes in cell density, cell type, and biochemical composition, not just structural changes. As the population in the developed world continues to age, neuroimaging for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases becomes increasingly important and there has been a recent surge of clinical and pre-clinical applications of MRS indicating that this technique can provide robust and non-invasive biomarkers of degeneration. This handbook details best practices and discusses ongoing challenges in assessment and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Chapters address…
assessment and diagnostic protocols, developmental considerations in ASD assessment, and issues concerning comorbid psychological and medical conditions. Various aspects of the disorder are emphasized throughout the handbook - from assessment in adolescent and adult populations to the latest findings in neuropsychology. The book concludes with future directions for research and clinical applications, focusing on universal screening, improved assessment methods, and earlier and more accurate diagnosis.Topics featured in this handbook include:Types of ASD assessment. Report writing for ASD evaluations.Stress and satisfaction in the diagnostic process.Clinical and neuropsychological perspectives from comorbid diagnosis of ASD and ADHD.Executive functions in ASD.The Handbook of Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder is an essential reference for researchers, clinicians, professionals, and graduate students in clinical child and school psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, and social work as well as rehabilitation medicine/therapy, behavioral therapy, pediatrics, and educational psychology.Compendium of Histology: A Theoretical and Practical Guide

This book has been designed to help medical students succeed with their histology classes, while using less time on studying the…
curriculum. The book can both be used on its own or as a supplement to the classical full-curriculum textbooks normally used by the students for their histology classes. Covering the same curriculum as the classical textbooks, from basic tissue histology to the histology of specific organs, this book is formatted and organized in a much simpler and intuitive way. Almost all text is formatted in bullets or put into structured tables. This makes it quick and easy to digest, helping the student get a good overview of the curriculum. It is easy to locate specific information in the text, such as the size of cellular structures etc. Additionally, each chapter includes simplified illustrations of various histological features. The aim of the book is to be used to quickly brush up on the curriculum, e.g. before a class or an exam. Additionally, the book includes guides to distinguish between the different histological tissues and organs that can be presented to students microscopically, e.g. during a histology spot test. This guide lists the specific characteristics of the different histological specimens and also describes how to distinguish a specimen from other similar specimens. For each histological specimen, a simplified drawing and a photomicrograph of the specimen, is presented to help the student recognize the important characteristics in the microscope. Lastly, the book contains multiple “memo boxes” in which parts of the curriculum are presented as easy-to-remember mnemonics.Simulation in Healthcare Education: An Extensive History
Par Harry Owen. 2016
Simulation in healthcare education has a long history, yet in many ways, we have been reinventing the wheel during the…
last 25 years. Historically, simulators have been much more than simple models, and we can still learn from aspects of simulation used hundreds of years ago. This book gives a narrative history of the development of simulators from the early 1700s to the middle of the 20th century when simulation in healthcare appeared to all but die out. It is organized around the development of simulation in different countries and includes at the end a guide to simulators in museums and private collections throughout the world. The aim is to increase understanding of simulation in the professional education of healthcare providers by exploring the historical context of simulators that were developed in the past, what they looked like, how they were used, and examples of simulator use that led to significant harm and an erosion of standards. The book is addressed to the healthcare simulation community and historians of medicine. The latter in particular will appreciate the identification and use of historic sources written in Latin, German, Italian, French, Polish and Spanish as well as English.
