'ENTHRALLING ... A PASSIONATE, WELL-ARGUED AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING READ' - The Times AN AMAZON BOOK OF THE YEAR For readers of Chris van Tulleken, Tim Spector and Ben Goldacre: An international bestseller which reveals how modern-day crises have been caused by the medical establishment, and what you really need to know about your health. Is HRT unsafe? Should you avoid giving peanut butter to small children? Blind Spots uncovers how inaccurate research drives medical myths which can spark public health crises. Doctors said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They refused menopausal women hormone replacement therapy, causing unnecessary suffering. They demonised natural fat in foods, driving patients to eat processed carbohydrates as obesity soared. Modern medicine shines when it draws on good scientific studies. But when medicine is led by dogmatic groupthink, it's everyday people who fall victim. Blind Spots examines the latest research to reveal the truths essential to our health.

When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health

Life Without Parole and Medically Assisted Death

This book offers a machine-generated literature overview of the legal and ethical considerations, in the context of technological growth, over implementing privacy and data protection measures in the last three decades. &nbsp;It showcases the expectations and challenges in mapping and operationalizing the information privacy and data protection measures. It is the second of a two-volume exploration of the narrative, wherein both volumes have consciously tried to remain both jurisdictional and technology neutral while considering a range of data protection and privacy issues. Towards that end, this volume addresses these issues at a conceptual level while dealing with the question of implementing data protection expectations in different environments. It, however, looks at the operational question of implementing the expectations, positioning itself in a context of ‘conflict’ and ‘uneasiness’ that often is assigned to the question of technology and privacy. Therefore, the volume starts with chapters on these conflicts and contradictions before moving on to articles that effectively implement data protection principles in a tech environment. The following chapter gives us a sense of how privacy and data protection issues are no longer obscure incidents and have become a part of our everyday living. The next chapter provides a snapshot of examples where technical advancements offer effective and practical solutions in implementing data protection measures to protect the privacy of individuals. However, the chapter also portrays the extent of risks that such implementation may have on individuals. At the end, the final chapter captures how often privacy and data protection questions come between technical growth and advancement.&nbsp;
The first volume, titled ‘Expectations vs Realities of Information Privacy and Data Protection Measures,’ captures overarching issues about data protection and privacy; conceptualizes data protection from different perspectives and its existing debates with other rights and developments in a democratic society; provides a snapshot of developments happening in various jurisdictions and how data protection framework engages with other laws. It also broaches the critical issue of consent and how consent as a requirement has evolved and integrated with health research and other allied areas. The effective interventions by the human expert in both volumes add immense value to the machine-generated content and highlight future trends of research. The volumes are an invaluable resource for not only researchers, but also policy makers, practitioners, corporate sector, across disciplines, and anyone looking to get an idea about the evolution of privacy, data protection issues and how these issues stand with technological growth in the last three decades since 1990.

A Curated Literature Overview

Operationalizing Expectations and Mapping Challenges of Information Privacy and Data Protection Measures

This unique atlas with over 4000 images opens up new dimensions in slit lamp examination and documentation. In his "life's work", the author shows how the slit lamp can be used to depict almost the entire field of ophthalmology - from the eyelids and anterior segment to the fundus and portrayal of eye motility. This results in the first book in ophthalmology that covers the entire subject with just one device.


Traditional slit lamp examination techniques are combined with the innovative documentation of ophthalmic findings using videography. Access to these videos is provided in the book. They can be viewed via the More Media app.


Innovations:


 Purkinje reflexes functioning as "landmarks" for observing changes in the eye's anterior segment-whether for the early detection of keratoconus or when assessing intraocular lenses

 The creation of fundus overviews, some of which extending to the periphery, using just the slit lamp and image processing programs

 Documentation of objects at a great distance by holding a minus lens in front of the objective lens of the slit lamp to make it less "short-sighted". This is useful to visualize squint or to take a picture of the whole face.





Inside the book:


 Methods section on technology

 Imaging with fundus-, minus- and without additional lenses

 Image documentation with patient-histories of up to 20 years

 780 cases, including 460 follow-ups

Videographic Imaging

Cambridge Bioethics and Law

Towards Social Justice in Dementia Care

Relating to People Living with Dementia as Equals

This book draws on the disciplines of law, philosophy, and psychiatry to interrogate whether the Mental Capacity Act 2005 meets the challenges posed by mental disorder to decision-making. It is often assumed that to allow space for individuality, any test for capacity must focus only on decision-making processes and not on the substance of the values that underpin decisions. Auckland challenges this assumption, arguing that the current law serves merely as a façade, behind which judgements can be made about the nature of a person's values, free from proper scrutiny. This book provides an in-depth analysis of when and how a person's disordered values should be relevant to the determination of their capacity, offering novel suggestions for reforming the capacity test to better reflect the impact of disorder on decision-making. It also explores the implications of this analysis for people found to lack capacity, concluding that&nbsp;reforms to the best interest provisions are urgently needed. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Routledge International Studies in Health Economics

Human enhancement (HE) is considered one of the most profoundly impactful effects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This book presents the definition, theory, scope, and main challenges of HE from a health policy and healthcare systems perspective. It offers a comprehensive view of the consequences of human enhancement disrupting the status quo in health service delivery and social coherence.The book examines the latest achievements of HE, focusing on four forms of enhancement: cognitive, physical, mood and moral. These forms are supported by the list of specific technologies and techniques used for HE. The book identifies the current trends in HE's development and analyses the challenges that HE poses to health policy and healthcare systems. It discusses the legal and financial aspects of HE, including regulation and shows that the financing of HE goes far beyond the scope of universal health coverage, thus opening the door for private, voluntary insurance and/or out-of-pocket payments. This, in turn, leads towards growing inequalities, which may threaten social cohesion. Readers will receive a structured picture of the latest advances in HE and trends in the field, as well as a list of the challenges and problems that HE generates.The book offers a concise picture of HE for students and researchers across the political sciences, public health, public sector management, and sociology. It will also find an audience among healthcare managers, policymakers, and those who are interested in social change.

Human Enhancement Technologies and Healthcare Policy

War is an engine of innovation. It has motivated extraordinary achievements in medicine and science, many of which have generated benefits far beyond the battlefield. These advancements, however, have come at great cost. Countless individuals have been exposed to hazardous research, often without their knowledge or consent. Cities, towns, and rural areas have been used as test sites for atomic, chemical, and biological warfare, causing widespread environmental damage and a myriad of health ailments in generations of Americans. Health professionals have been intimately involved in enhanced interrogation programs, while warfighters face an emerging scenario where biomedical enhancements may become essential elements of military missions. Laws and ethical codes have been rewritten to facilitate these endeavors and shield wrongful conduct from the public. Due to secrecy mandates, governmental immunities, and lackluster healthcare, many individuals harmed by these actions have been left without legal remedies or adequate means to address their injuries. America's Military Biomedical Complex shows how the drive for scientific and military superiority has shifted the moral compass of government and society, detailing scores of examples where untoward conduct has been rationalized as necessary to promote national security and achieve military goals. The book traces the fascinating story of how laws and ethical codes have co-evolved with the nation's military science pursuits, dating back to the founding of America. Without passing retrospective judgment, it explores the moral calculus conducted by decision-makers at key moments in military science. This analysis reveals that officials were keenly aware of ethical dilemmas, but nonetheless chose to engage in risky (and sometimes unlawful) activities to further pressing national security goals. Coupled with this historical reflection, America's Military Biomedical Complex recommends policies that harmonize contemporary national security concerns with fundamental principles of justice and human dignity. It introduces the concept of jus in praeparatione bellum (justice in war preparations) a doctrine of restraint and responsibility that aims to elucidate just and unjust means of preparing for war.

Schielen ist weit mehr als eine Frage des Aussehens. Stellungsfehler der Augen führen vielfach zu sozialer Diskriminierung. Bei Kindern kann das Schielen – wenn es nicht rechtzeitig erkannt und behandelt wird – aber auch eine Schwachsichtigkeit (Amblyopie) nach sich ziehen, die ein Leben lang bleibt.Was genau versteht man unter Strabismus, dem Schielen, was sind seine Ursachen, welche Rolle spielen Kurzsichtigkeit und Weitsichtigkeit? Wie wird die Störung erkannt und wie geht es für betroffene Kinder und Erwachsene weiter? Dieses Buch erklärt allgemeinverständlich, was hinter dem Schielen steckt und was es mit Fehlsichtigkeit zu tun hat. Der Augenarzt und Medizinjournalist Ronald D. Gerste bringt medizinischen Laien das Thema behutsam näher und beschreibt, was Eltern und Betroffene in der Augenarztpraxis erwartet, vom ersten Verdacht bis hin zur Sehschule und den Chancen der konservativen und der operativen Behandlung, bei der es neuerdings minimal-invasive Verfahren (MISS) gibt. Wertvolle Tipps zur weiteren Betreuung und zur Selbsthilfe machen dieses Buch zu einem klugen und verlässlichen Berater, wenn Sie bei Ihrem Kind ein Schielen vermuten oder sich als Erwachsener mit Strabismus behandeln lassen möchten.Der Autor
