Medical Sociology on the Move

Revised Edition including New Directions in Theory

This groundbreaking volume offers a wealth of practical insights into oral health, oral diseases, and effective daily oral care routines, empowering readers to take proactive control of their oral health. Drawing on the expertise of over 80 contributors from around the globe, it provides a genuinely international perspective through 142 concise chapters organised into sixteen thematic sections.Presented in a user-friendly Q and A format, the book offers clear and accessible explanations to guide readers through essential topics with ease and confidence. Starting with the history of dentistry and the global burden of oral disease, the volume examines the anatomy and function of maxillofacial structures, orofacial pain, dental trauma, and a wide range of disorders affecting the teeth, gingiva, and jawbones. It covers non-neoplastic soft tissue conditions, as well as benign and malignant tumours of the oral cavity, jaws, and salivary glands, and emphasises the vital link between oral and systemic health. Additional sections introduce key diagnostic tools, treatment approaches, pharmacological therapies, at-home oral care strategies, and important insights into family dentistry.This volume serves not only as a vital resource for the general public but also as an effective instrument for patient education in clinical settings, and a valuable addition to academic, public, and healthcare libraries worldwide.

Oral Health and Disease: What You Should Know

An Anthropology of Global Immunization explores some of the most pressing vaccine concerns of our time, from HPV to COVID-19, HIV and beyond. This edited collection develops a unique anthropological response to the question of global immunization, addressing issues from vaccine hesitancy and conspiracy theories to local biopolitics. The global perspectives in this volume are bound together by critical anthropological themes of nationalism, governance and local biosocial realities. The collection lays a critical foundation to understand vaccine development, implementation and public health policy.

An Anthropology of Global Immunization

Musiker werden mit ihrer ganz eigenen neuronalen Organisation und ihren speziellen beruflichen Belastungen oft als eine „schwierige“ Patientengruppe empfunden. Dieses Buch macht auf wichtige Besonderheiten bei der Diagnosestellung und Therapie aufmerksam. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Darstellung spezieller neurologischer Krankheitsbilder: Nervenkompressionssyndrome, Schmerzsyndrome, Dystonien und zerebrale Durchblutungsstörungen. Sie sind häufig schwer zu diagnostizieren und zu therapieren.An den klinisch-neurologische Teil schließt sich eine Darstellung der Auswirkungen neurologischer Erkrankungen auf das Musizieren und ein Kapitel über neuro-psychiatrische Erkrankungen bei Musikern an. Neuropädiatrische Aspekte, wie Belastungsfaktoren, Prävention und Hochbegabung beim Kind runden dieses Praxisbuch des bekannten Musikmediziners Eckart Altenmüller ab. Neurologische Erkrankungen bei Musikern
 richtet sich an alle Ärzte und Therapeuten, die Musiker in Behandlung haben oder sich einen Einblick in die Neurologie bei Musikern verschaffen wollen.

Health, Technology and Society

Against the background of great expectations associated with the application of big data and artificial intelligence in medicine, various voices have claimed that individuals have a moral obligation to make their data and tissue available for research. This obligation is not only associated with the amounts of materials required in contemporary medical science, but also with presumptions that the knowledge produced in science is a public good. This book critically examines this claim by drawing on four case studies of medical data and tissue collections: the Framingham Heart Study in the United States; the Singapore Tissue Network; the Million Death Study in India; and the European network of sample and data collections BBMRI-ERIC. Each case study is presented as an exemplar for how infrastructures for the purpose of collecting, storing and using population data for medical research are constructed and frame particular versions of ‘collective goods’ in contemporary medical research. While each of these cases is situated in different geographic locations and largely distinct areas of medical research, they jointly illustrate how the making and operations of medical research collections produce particular ‘collectives’ and ‘goods’. This book discusses the making of such collective goods in terms of citizenship to interrogate how the framing of medical research collections generates forms of knowledge that already attribute certain (health-related) rights and responsibilities to different groups of people.

This book encapsulates the socio-cultural meanings of sweets - ritual, pride of craftsmanship, heritage and cultural identity. It also shows how sweets continue to be a part of 'Bengali' diet with a past of acute hunger, starvation, food movements and social welfare programmes for food security.

The Politics of Mental Health and Illness

This interdisciplinary volume examines the social production of mental health and illness in Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand). It draws together cutting-edge critical mental health scholarship from the region, to interrogate how personal, community, institutional and mediated relations, make and remake experiences of 'mental health.'

In the wake of the widespread insertion of psy-considerations into everyday lives, here contributors demonstrate how the relations between communities, practices, professionals and institutions often replicate long-standing histories of discrimination and violence motivated by psychiatric classification, even as the psy-disciplines move into supposedly more transformational domains: digital technology, schooling, human resources, and social media, for example.

The book's&nbsp;chapters reflect the current diversity within academic studies of mental health and illness in Australia and Aotearoa. This includes a wide range of case studies from war trauma in the Australian military and pornography addiction, to the depathologisation of trans health&nbsp;and peer workers in mental health services.

Critical Mental Health in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand&nbsp;offers unique insights particular to the region, to students and scholars of&nbsp;critical&nbsp;psychology, history, sociology, medical humanities, and education.

Natalie Ann Hendry&nbsp;is an educator and researcher who has worked and collaborated across community, secondary and hospital-based education sectors since 2003. Forever curious about the messy relationships between health, digital media and education, Natalie's research engages with media studies, cultural studies and sociological theories and uses digital ethnography, creative methods and policy analysis approaches. She currently is a Senior Lecturer in Youth Wellbeing in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne, where she teaches social research methodology and social and critical approaches to wellbeing in schools.&nbsp;

Effie Karageorgos&nbsp;is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Newcastle (UON), Australia. Her research focuses on the social history of war through the study of protest, violence, war, gender and psychiatry.&nbsp;She is an Editor of&nbsp;Health and History, the official journal of the Australian and New Zealand Society for the History of Medicine and has served as co-convenor of the UON Future of Madness Network. She coordinates the Social Production of Mental Health interdisciplinary seminar series with Natalie Ann Hendry.

This edited collection explores dramatic transformations in intimate life in contemporary Ireland, including the introduction of both divorce and civil partnerships. Yet intimate politics remain contested and abortions must be obtained abroad. Ireland offers fascinating insights into the influence of the media, and shifting cultural and social norms. The chapters examine these changes with research by leading scholars.

Building on the success of the first and second editions, the updated third edition of the Handbook of Epidemiology serves as a major reference for all researchers who want to conduct epidemiological studies or who want to deepen their understanding of epidemiological concepts, methods, and areas of application. The new edition provides an update of all chapters of the second edition and includes additional new chapters to account for recent developments in the field. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the field and covers basic approaches as well as novel and advanced methodologies with a strong applied focus by integrating the most relevant state-of-the-art knowledge that otherwise could only be gathered from single specialist publications dispersed over various scientific journals. It reviews the key issues and methodological approaches pertinent to the field for which the reader pursues an expatiated overview. It may thus serve both as a first orientation for the interested reader and as a starting point for an in-depth study of a specific area as well as a quick reference and a recapitulatory update for the expert.The broad scope of the book becomes apparent by its five sections that facilitate an integration of epidemiological concepts and methods, statistical tools, applications, and epidemiological practice: Part I covers Concepts and Designs in Epidemiology; Part II, Methodological Approaches in Epidemiology; Part III, Statistical Methods in Epidemiology; Part IV, Exposure-Oriented Epidemiology; and Part V, Outcome-Oriented Epidemiology. All chapters follow a similar structure and highlight cross-references to related topics and specialist knowledge to be found in the Handbook. They give an overview of the topic and the most important problems and approaches that are illustrated by examples. Each chapter serves as an introductory text that helps to enter a new field by addressing basic concepts without being too elementary. Thus, it also is of interest for readers who are familiar with the particular topic by reflecting on its state-of-the-art and future perspectives. Each chapter stands on its own and comprises introductory elements that can be understood by the novice, i.e., a readership not being too familiar with the methodological background, and extends to in-depth knowledge that may serve as a reference for the trained epidemiologist. The standard procedures and methods, basic concepts, and knowledge are presented as well as recent advances and new perspectives. The list of references thus covers the whole range from introductory texts to publications for the advanced reader. In particular, the chapters on statistical methods are written for researchers in health sciences who do not have the background of theoretical statisticians and may be in need of application-oriented tools. These chapters offer numerous examples, practical applications, and illustrations. Handbook of Epidemiology, 3rd Edition, is a relevant resource for professionals involved in health research, health reporting, health promotion, disease prevention, health services, and health systems administration, as well as those who need a reference book that covers all aspects of epidemiology as a comprehensive consultant for specific topics. The Handbook also is a useful text for researchers and graduate students in all disciplines related to epidemiology and public health.

Clinical Sociology: Research and Practice

This book connects clinical sociology to the food justice movement through gardens in incarcerated settings. Situated within the larger food justice movement, the authors highlight the shortcomings of the global food system and the inequalities produced by the lack of adequate nutrition, particularly in the context of marginalized populations, such as those in carceral institutions. The book provides an up-to-date overview of horticulture programs in different incarcerated settings in the US, including prisons and community correction units, and provides in-depth discussion on innovative best-practice models. It also features a detailed analysis of an ongoing multi-site research project on gardening in incarcerated settings for women at local, state, and federal levels. Unlike other literature on prison and jail horticulture, this book contextualizes gardening in incarcerated settings with critical historical analysis, presenting the theoretical background to sociological action research projects. Serving as a starting point for establishing gardening as an evidence-based practice in prisons and jails, it is essential reading for researchers and practitioners of clinical sociology and social work, criminologists, prison and corrective institution administrators, and citizen groups interested in therapeutic gardening and alternatives to industrial prison food.&nbsp;
