The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders by John E. Sarno (Audiobook)
Publisher: Audio Evolution | ISBN: N/A | edition 2006 | MP3/128Kbps | 607 MB

The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's long and successful career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer. While his earlier books dealt almost exclusively with the common, virtually universal musculoskeletal pain disorders affecting the back, neck, and shoulders as well as various locations in the arms and legs, in The Divided Mind, Dr. Sarno goes beyond pain and addresses the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders. These include common stomach and bowel conditions (e.g., gastric reflux, irritable bowel syndrome), allergies, skin disorders, genitourinary conditions, headaches, and many more.

Principles and Practice of Clinical Research

Principles and Practice of Clinical Research By John I. Gallin, Frederick P. Ognibene
Publisher: Aca dem ic Pre ss 2002 | 490 Pages | ISBN: 0122740653 | PDF | 42 MB

This timely book on how to conduct, evaluate, and monitor clinical research was written by leading experts in the field. An important strength of the book is that many of the authors are, or have been, associated with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In fact, the text is based on a course given at the NIH and headed by the book's editor, John I. Gallin. The authors are particularly knowledgeable about NIH guidelines and regulations that govern much of the clinical research conducted in the United States. The book also contains valuable sections on how to obtain funding from the NIH for clinical research and is particularly strong in the area of ethical, regulatory, and legal issues. Given the problems with clinical research protocols that have been sufficiently serious to close down entire universities in recent years, this book clearly fulfills an important function for anyone involved in clinical research. The book is up to date and includes chapters on women and minorities, telemedicine, and animal models of human diseases, each of which is well written and informative. However, one or more separate chapters on the unique issues associated with genetics, genomics, and gene therapy would have been an appropriate and important addition to this otherwise comprehensive book. The concise initial chapters on bioethics, institutional review boards (IRBs), and data and safety monitoring provide important information needed to prepare investigators for conducting clinical research, at least as judged by the questions on several of the examinations that the NIH and my own institution require for certification to conduct clinical research. Chapter 8 presents the instructive story of the development of, and problems with, the antiviral drug fialuridine, which was ultimately found to have mitochondrial toxicity. The story is a voyage through all of the institutional and societal regulators. It is also a personal account told by a scientist who was in the middle of a stressful and at times tragic story. This chapter, like all the others, is focused on educating the reader, rather than pushing a political agenda, an approach in keeping with the spirit of the book and its roots in the NIH course on clinical research. A useful chapter written by two employees of the Food and Drug Administration describes the critical functions of this government agency in the regulation of drugs and biologic products. Although one could criticize the editor for relying so heavily on insiders to write chapters in the book, I think this is actually a strength. There are certainly many controversial issues that cause tensions between clinical researchers and the federal agencies that oversee clinical research, but the point of this book is to provide a road map that investigators can use to navigate the complexities of regulations governing clinical research. Who better to draw this map than the regulators themselves? This book will be accessible to a wide range of readers. Seasoned clinical investigators will find it a useful reference and a valuable teaching tool. Beginning students and others who are involved in clinical research but who may not have had formal training in the field will find that this book provides an excellent introduction to the key issues all clinical investigators must be familiar with. The book contains an enormous amount of useful information, which is clearly presented. For example, the chapters on legal issues are explained in terms that can readily be understood by a physician or a nurse with no legal training. Brief chapters on statistical methods cover the high points that any clinical investigator needs to be comfortable with, including randomization, calculation of the sample size, hypothesis testing, and survival analysis. The discussions of small and large clinical trials are of course generic and limited to addressing the more obvious aspects of designing trials. These chapters are not likely to obviate the need for an experienced, well-trained principal investigator to serve as a mentor for such endeavors. The brief overviews of technology transfer, telemedicine, and animal models of human disease cover topics that are so complex that entire books could be written about them. Somewhat out of place is the chapter on how to prepare scientific images for publication and display. The chapter is too brief to provide sufficiently detailed information for those not already well versed in the use of these techniques and is too superficial to interest anyone who is already producing scientific images on desktop computers. This book is much needed and provides essentially all of the basic information required by investigators involved in clinical research, from both a practical perspective and a regulatory perspective. Although it will not take the place of more in-depth books in any of the many areas it touches on, there is very little information in this well-written and comprehensive book that all clinical investigators should not be familiar with. Given the appropriate increase in attention to regulations governing clinical research, this book will be an important resource for institutional libraries and IRBs. It is an excellent starting point for those embarking on a clinical research project, as well as a valuable reference that experienced investigators will probably want to have readily available.

Medicine Across Cultures: History and Practice of Medicine in Non-Western Cultures

Medicine Across Cultures: History and Practice of Medicine in Non-Western Cultures
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 1402011660 | edition 2003 | PDF | 432 pages | 10,2 mb

Medicine Across Cultures: The History and Practice of Medicine in Non-Western Cultures consists of 19 essays dealing with the medical knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside of the United States and Europe. In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginal Australian, Indian, Egyptian, and Tibetan medicine, the book includes essays on comparing Chinese and western medicine and religion and medicine. The essays address the connections between medicine and culture and relate the medical practices to the cultures which produced them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an extensive bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in both the history of medicine and in cultural studies. It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving those groups.

Decentralization in health care

Richard Saltman "Decentralization in health care (Euorpean Observatory on Health Systems and Policies)"
Open University Press | English | Dec 1, 2006 | ISBN: 033521925X | 352 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB

Decentralization has become a popular management strategy in many European health care systems. The term describes a wide variety of power transfer arrangements and accountability systems. The logic of decentralization is grounded in an intrinsically powerful idea; that smaller organizations, properly structured and steered, are inherently more agile and accountable than larger organizations. In a world where large organizations control wide swathes of both public and private sector activity, the possibility of establishing more locally operated, locally responsible institutions holds out great attraction.

This text explores the capacity and impact of decentralization within European health care systems. It examines both the theoretical underpinnings as well as recent practical experiences, drawing upon both published literature and evidence collected directly from the field. The book also assesses the appropriateness of management processes within health systems for implementing a successful decentralization strategy.

Decentralization in Health Care will appeal to health policy makers, postgraduates taking courses in health services management, HR, health policy and health economics, and human resource professionals.
