Law, Religion, and Health in the United States

by Cohen Lynch Holly Fernandez I. Glenn Elizabeth Sepper

While the law can create conflict between religion and health, it can also facilitate religious accommodation and protection of conscience. Finding this balance is critical to addressing the most pressing questions at the intersection of law, religion, and health in the United States: should physicians be required to disclose their religious beliefs to patients? How should we think about institutional conscience in the health care setting? How should health care providers deal with families with religious objections to withdrawing treatment? In this timely book, experts from a variety of perspectives and disciplines offer insight on these and other pressing questions, describing what the public discourse gets right and wrong, how policymakers might respond, and what potential conflicts may arise in the future. It should be read by academics, policymakers, and anyone else - patient or physician, secular or devout - interested in how US law interacts with health care and religion.

Lay Them to Rest: On the Road with the Cold Case Investigators Who Identify the Nameless

by Laurah Norton

Take a fascinating deep dive into the dark world of forensic science as experts team up to solve the identity of an unknown woman by exploring the rapidly evolving techniques being used to break the most notorious cold cases. Fans of true crime shows like CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds, and Law and Order know that when it comes to &“getting the bad guy&” behind bars, your best chance of success boils down to the strength of your evidence—and the forensic science used to obtain it. Beyond the silver screen, forensic science has been used for decades to help solve even the most tough-to-crack cases. In 2018, the accused Golden State Killer, Joseph DeAngelo, was finally apprehended after a decades-long investigation thanks to a very recent technique called forensic genealogy, which has since led to the closure of hundreds of cold cases, bringing long-awaited justice to victims and families alike. But when it comes to solving these incredibly difficult cases, forensic genealogy is just the tip of the iceberg—and many readers have no idea just how far down that iceberg goes. For Laurah Norton, forensic science was always more of a passion than anything else. But after learning about a mishandled 1990s cold case involving missing twins, she was spurred to action, eventually creating a massively popular podcast and building a platform that helped bring widespread attention and resources to the case. LAY THEM TO REST builds on Laurah&’s fascination with these investigations, introducing readers to the history and evolution of forensic science, from the death masks used in Ancient Rome to the 3-D facial reconstruction technology used today. Incorporating the stories of real-life John & Jane Does from around the world, Laurah also examines how changing identification methods have helped solve the most iconic cold cases. Along the way readers will also get to see Laurah solve a case in real time with forensic anthropologist Dr. Amy Michael, as they try to determine the identity of &“Ina&” Jane Doe, a woman whose head was found in a brush in an Illinois park in 1993. More than just a chronicle of the history of forensics, LAY THEM TO REST is also a celebration of the growing field of experts, forensic artists, and anthropologists (many of whom Laurah talks to in the book), who work tirelessly to bring closure to these unsolved cases. And of course, this book asks why some cases go unsolved, highlighting the &“missing missing,&” the sex workers, undocumented, the cases that so desperately need our attention, but so rarely get it. Engrossing, informative, heartbreaking, and hopeful, LAY THEM TO REST is a deep dive into the world of forensic science, showing readers how far we&’ve come in cracking cases and catching killers, and illuminating just how far we have yet to go.

Lazaretto: How Philadelphia Used an Unpopular Quarantine Based on Disputed Science to Accommodate Immigrants and Prevent Epidemics

by David S. Barnes

How the controversial practice of quarantine saved nineteenth-century Philadelphia after a series of deadly epidemics.In the 1790s, four devastating yellow fever epidemics threatened the survival of Philadelphia, the nation's capital and largest city. In response, the city built a new quarantine station called the Lazaretto downriver from its port. From 1801 to 1895, a strict quarantine was enforced there to protect the city against yellow fever, cholera, typhus, and other diseases. At the time, the science behind quarantine was hotly contested, and the Board of Health in Philadelphia was plagued by internal conflicts and political resistance. In Lazaretto, David Barnes tells the story of how a blend of pragmatism, improvisation, and humane care succeeded in treating seemingly incurable diseases and preventing further outbreaks.Barnes shares the lessons of the Lazaretto through a series of tragic and inspiring true stories of people caught up in the painful ordeal of quarantine. They include a nine-year-old girl enslaved in West Africa and freed upon arrival in Philadelphia, an eleven-year-old orphan boy who survived yellow fever only to be scapegoated for starting an epidemic, and a grieving widow who saved the Lazaretto in the midst of catastrophe. Spanning a turbulent century of immigration, urban growth, and social transformation, Lazaretto takes readers inside the life-and-death debates and ordinary heroism that saved Philadelphia when its survival as a city was at stake. Amid the controversy and tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic, this surprising reappraisal of America's historic struggle against deadly epidemics reminds us not to neglect old knowledge and skills in our rush to embrace the new.

Lazarus Rising: A Novel

by Joseph Caldwell

The Rome Prize–winning author of In the Shadow of the Bridge&“evokes a bygone era and an earlier pandemic. . . . An affecting turn in [his] long career&” (Publishers Weekly). This dark, propulsive novel, the crowning masterwork by ninety-two-year-old Joseph Caldwell, takes place during 1992, when AIDS was still an incurable scourge and death casualties were everyday events. One cold winter night, when the artist Dempsey Coates is on her way home to her loft, she encounters a blaze, several alarms ringing and water jetting every which way from fire hydrants. She ends up offering several firemen a place to get warm. One of them is Johnny Donegan, a passionate lad who falls madly in love with her and is determined, through prayer and sheer perseverance, to make a life with Dempsey unimpeded by the specter of her illness. But when the couple is finally blessed with an unexpected stroke of good luck, this one twist of fate that promises an enduring future will end up coming between them in a very tragic and unforeseen way. Praise for In the Shadow of the Bridge &“A moving memoir and a look at gay and artistic life in New York City from the 1950s on, through the AIDS epidemic.&” —New York Post &“In telling the story of coming to NYC as a young man, grappling with his desire to be an artist, to be a man of faith, and his desire for the love of another man, Joseph Caldwell tells the story of a time and place—the story of a generation.&” —A.

Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting: Stigma and the Undoing of Global Health

by Alexandra Brewis Amber Wutich

Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting: Stigma and the Undoing of Global Health

by Alexandra Brewis Amber Wutich

Promotional headline: How stigma derails well-intentioned public health efforts, creating suffering and worsening inequalities.2020 Winner, Society for Anthropological Sciences Carol R. Ember Book PrizeShortlisted for the British Sociological Association's Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness Book PrizeStigma is a dehumanizing process, where shaming and blaming are embedded in our beliefs about who does and does not have value within society. In Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting, medical anthropologists Alexandra Brewis and Amber Wutich explore a darker side of public health: that well-intentioned public health campaigns can create new and damaging stigma, even when they are otherwise successful. Brewis and Wutich present a novel, synthetic argument about how stigmas act as a massive driver of global disease and suffering, killing or sickening billions every year. They focus on three of the most complex, difficult-to-fix global health efforts: bringing sanitation to all, treating mental illness, and preventing obesity. They explain how and why humans so readily stigmatize, how this derails ongoing public health efforts, and why this process invariably hurts people who are already at risk. They also explore how new stigmas enter global health so easily and consider why destigmatization is so very difficult. Finally, the book offers potential solutions that may be able to prevent, challenge, and fix stigma. Stigma elimination, Brewis and Wutich conclude, must be recognized as a necessary and core component of all global health efforts.Drawing on the authors' keen observations and decades of fieldwork, Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting combines a wide array of ethnographic evidence from around the globe to demonstrate conclusively how stigma undermines global health's basic goals to create both health and justice.

Le Bégaiement: Sa Nature et une Approche Pratique pour le Traitement

by A. N. Okonoboh

Peut-on arrêter de bégayer en 10 jours ? Quel est votre plus grand rêve dans la vie ? En tant que bègue, vous ne voulez pas qu'on compatisse quand vous parlez. Dans notre livre, LE BEGAIEMENT, c'est à vous que nous pensons. Dans les groupes de paroles, on dit souvent aux bègues de ne plus s'embêter avec la guérison, qu'un tel effort est plus dévastateur que le défaut d'élocution lui-même. Cette introduction veut vous inspirer et vous aider à dissiper vos craintes. Nous allons maintenant vous donner l'idée générale des particularités du livre qui contribue à accélérer la guérison du bégaiement. Tout d'abord, ce livre est basé sur des années d'études de vraies personnes qui ont vaincu le bégaiement, pas sur une théorie intellectuelle de laboratoire. C'est pour cela qu'il marche. L'élément central est la PRISE DE CONSCIENCE, qui constitue le fil conducteur des différents chapitres. Autour de celle-ci nous ajoutons d'autres éléments qui, par leurs rôles positifs ou négatifs, méritent d'être soulignés. Par ex. : le contrôle de la respiration, l'art de la parole, la gestion des obstacles courants, l'utilisation des schémas de parole, etc. Dans « L'art de la parole », nous traitons de tous les problèmes d'orthophonie, la thérapie comportementale et cognitive, le soulagement de l'anxiété, l'autoguérison du bégaiement ainsi que l'aide que quelqu'un peut apporter pour trouver sa voix. La même section poursuit son efficacité dans le défi de l'enseignement de la parole, la thérapie pour les enfants, même dans les cas les plus sévères. Enfin, nous alertons les parents ou gardiens pour qu'ils soient attentifs à tout indice de bégaiement dans la petite enfance. Nos conseils pratiques sont très faciles à suivre. Nous avons développé ces stratégies et activités pour promouvoir le développement du langage de votre enfant. Ce sont des compétences sociales détaillées afin d'aider les jeunes enfants et les adultes à a

Lead Generation: Methods and Strategies, Volume 67

by Raimund Mannhold Gerd Folkers Hugo Kubinyi Jörg Holenz

In this comprehensive two-volume resource on the topic senior lead generation medicinal chemists present a coherent view of the current methods and strategies in industrial and academic lead generation. This is the first book to combine both standard and innovative approaches in comparable breadth and depth, including several recent successful lead generation case studies published here for the first time. Beginning with a general discussion of the underlying principles and strategies, individual lead generation approaches are described in detail, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, along with all relevant bordering disciplines like e. g. target identification and validation, predictive methods, molecular recognition or lead quality matrices. Novel lead generation approaches for challenging targets like DNA-encoded library screening or chemical biology approaches are treated here side by side with established methods as high throughput and affinity screening, knowledge- or fragment-based lead generation, and collaborative approaches. Within the entire book, a very strong focus is given to highlight the application of the presented methods, so that the reader will be able to learn from `real life? examples. The final part of the book presents several lead generation case studies taken from different therapeutic fields, including diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, neuroscience, infection and tropical diseases. The result is a prime knowledge resource for medicinal chemists and for every scientist involved in lead generation.

Lead Toxicity: Challenges and Solution (Environmental Science and Engineering)

by Nitish Kumar Amrit Kumar Jha

This book delivers an outline to graduate, undergraduate students, and researchers, as well as academicians who are working on lead toxicity with respect to remediation. It covers sources of lead contamination and its impact on human health and on prospective remediation through multi-disciplinary approaches with application of recent advanced biological technology. Lead is among the elements that have been most extensively used by man over time. This has led to extensive pollution of surface soils on the local scale, mainly associated with mining and smelting of the metal and addition of organic lead compounds to petrol. Release of lead to the atmosphere from various high-temperature processes has led to surface contamination on the regional and even global scale. In addition, plants grown on lead-rich soils incorporate lead, and thus, the concentration of lead in crop plants may be increased. Lead enters in the food chain through consumption of plant material. A high concentration of lead has been found to be harmful to vegetation. As the lead concentration increases, it adversely affects several biological parameters and eventually renders the soil barren. This edited book brings together a diverse group of researchers to address the challenges posed by global mass poisoning caused by lead contamination of soil and plants. The book sheds light on this global environmental issue and proposes solutions to contamination through multi-disciplinary approaches. This book contains three sections. The first section describes the different sources and distribution of lead in soil and plant ecosystems. The second section explains the health risks linked to lead toxicity. The third section addresses sustainable lead toxicity mitigation strategies and the potential applications of recent biological technology in providing solutions. This book is a valuable resource to students, academics, researchers, and environmental professionals doing fieldwork on lead contamination throughout the world.

Lead Wars

by David Rosner Gerald Markowitz

In this incisive examination of lead poisoning during the past half century, Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner focus on one of the most contentious and bitter battles in the history of public health. Lead Wars details how the nature of the epidemic has changed and highlights the dilemmas public health agencies face today in terms of prevention strategies and chronic illness linked to low levels of toxic exposure. The authors use the opinion by Maryland's Court of Appeals--which considered whether researchers at Johns Hopkins University's prestigious Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) engaged in unethical research on 108 African-American children--as a springboard to ask fundamental questions about the practice and future of public health. Lead Wars chronicles the obstacles faced by public health workers in the conservative, pro-business, anti-regulatory climate that took off in the Reagan years and that stymied efforts to eliminate lead from the environments and the bodies of American children.

Lead, Inspire, Thrive: A Handbook for Medical School Department Chairs (And Other Leaders)

by Claire Pomeroy Fred Sanfilippo David N. Bailey

This handy reference will help medical school department chairs and other Academic Health Center (AHC) leaders navigate the important, challenging and complex responsibilities and opportunities of their positions, whether they are new, experienced or future leaders. Medical school department chairs support four distinct missions (education, research, clinical care and public service), which serve multiple constituents, have different measures of success, and sometimes are in direct conflict for resources across the different priorities of their AHC and its component organizations. Having served as medical school department chairs, program and center directors, medical school deans, and AHC chief executives, the authors have seen first-hand the increasing difficulty and complexity of these roles and the inspiring impact these leaders can have on those they serve. This book shares their insights by providing contemporary and comprehensive information to help these leaders navigate the many issues and opportunities they face. While serving as a medical school department chair is challenging on many levels, it is one of the most important roles in AHCs and can be an extremely rewarding leadership position. Timely advice and guidance are keys to success, and this book articulates and answers the most common questions faced by medical school department chairs and other leaders over their careers.

Leadership Pearls in Healthcare

by Ralph Junckerstorff Sara Baqar

This book brings together the insights of some of Australia&’s most respected healthcare professionals and provides a resource for readers new to the concept of leadership and those currently in leadership or managerial positions. Administrative (as opposed to clinical) leadership and the skills required to be good at it, are not well covered in the medical, nursing or allied health curricula. Despite this, healthcare workers are often required to take up leadership/managerial roles, often with little notice and minimal training. In contrast to the scientific nature of clinical medicine, leadership is a management concept and open to different interpretations. Clinicians who have the potential to be great leaders may shy away from administrative leadership positions because of limited understanding and training in what leadership entails. Unfortunately, not all great clinicians turn out to be great leaders/managers. Leadership Pearls in Healthcare delves deep into the minds of eminent leaders across all disciplines within the Australian healthcare system and discover the most valuable lessons they have learnt during their leadership journey. To demonstrate how they can be applied in practice, each leadership pearl will be presented in a scenario/situation-based format, followed by a discussion with relevant references. Following this, authors will include closely related practical tips as &‘Other Gems&’. Designed in an engaging and user-friendly format, this book is accessible to a wide audience, including current and emerging leaders in healthcare, students in medical, nursing, allied health, recently graduated doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals, as well as current and emerging leaders outside of healthcare.
