The world of targeted drug delivery (TDD) represents an incredible leap forward in how we treat and manage diseases . It’s a frontier where science converges with hope, precision, and, in many ways, a reimagining of healthcare itself. As we move closer to realizing a future where therapies can target specific cells or tis-sues with minimal side effects, the excitement is tempered by a growing recogni-tion of the technical, ethical, and societal challenges that come with this revolu-tionary shift in medical practice. In this drawing from the insights of re-searchers and thinkers who are deeply engaged in navigating this transformative field. Together, the following chapters, illustrate how the evolving landscape of TDD holds both immense promise and significant complexity.
Neuroética: una guía multifacética, enfoca su atención en el uso de las neurociencias, neuroinformación, neurotecnologías, y neurotécnicas novedosas (neuroCITT), cuyos fines han sobrepasado su relación con el sector de la salud. La integración de información mediante el diálogo y la reflexión entre profesionales, a nivel práctico y de investigación, es necesario para el abordaje de los problemas y conceptos que están en el corazón de la Neuroética. De tal modo, este libro contiene información, reflexiones y propuestas sobre temas variados pero relacionados entre ellos: filosofía y clínica, ciencias y arte, método científico y reflexión espiritual. Así, por su interdisciplinaria consistencia, este libro es de utilidad para filósofos, abogados, investigadores, bioeticistas o cualquier profesional interesado en el tema.
«A experiência global e partilhada da pandemia obrigou-nos a focar a natureza – simultaneamente pública e ética – das decisões em saúde e fez sobressair a importância do consenso. Esta exigência – agora tão visível – vinha-se fazendo sentir há décadas. Prova disso é que cresceu exponencialmente a literatura que se debruça sobre as implicações antropológicas e éticas dos grandes âmbitos da cultura mais diretamente vinculados ao mundo da tecnologia, das biotecnologias à inteligência artificial. Uma das áreas em que a necessidade de reflexão se fez sentir primeiro e de forma mais nítida foi a das ciências da vida. [...]
The panorama of bioethical problems is different today. Patients travel to Thailand for fast surgery; commercial surrogate mothers in India deliver babies to parents in rich countries; organs, body parts and tissues are trafficked from East to Western Europe; physicians and nurses migrating from Africa to the U.S; thousands of children or patients with malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS are dying each day because they cannot afford effective drugs that are too expensive. Mainstream bioethics as it has developed during the last 50 years in Western countries is evolving into a broader approach that is relevant for people across the world and is focused on new global problems. This book provides an...
Proposing a new view of global justice based on natural law, this book examines the ethics of health as they relate to neglected diseases.

A theory of Clinical Bioethics based on the integration of the moral logic of health care practice ("internal morality") and the larger social concerns and processes ("external morality") Clinical Bioethics. A Search for the Foundations compares major theoretical models in the foundation of clinical bioethics and explains medicine as a normative practice. The goals of medicine are discussed with particular reference to the subjectivisation of health and the rationalisation of health care institutions. This volume provides a consistent reconstruction of bioethical judgment both at the level of epistemological statute and institutional context, i.e. clinical ethics committees and clinical ethics consultation.
This book is designed to meet the need for a practically oriented textbook on the rapidly growing field of continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring. A wide range of key clinical aspects are addressed, with explanation of status epilepticus classification, criteria for institution of monitoring, seizure patterns and their recognition, quantitative EEG analysis, and neuroimaging in patients undergoing cEEG monitoring. The value of cEEG and the nature of cEEG findings in various special situations are then reviewed, covering particular pathologies, critical care considerations, and prognostication. Treatments of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) and nonconvulsive seizures (NCS) are discussed. The...

In the 1980s, following the recommendation of a presidential commission, all fifty states replaced previous cardiopulmonary definitions of death with one that also included total and irreversible cessation of brain function.
