La medicina del nuevo siglo
Los médicos tenemos conciencia de la verdadera revolución que se opera en la base científica de nuestra práctica, acompañada del acceso a nuevos recursos terapéuticos y de diagnóstico inimaginables poco tiempo atrás. Pero desde la mirada de los pacientes, la medicina se ha deshumanizado: los médicos escuchan poco, arrogantes de su saber o apurados por sus compromisos (algo muy lejos del modelo nostálgico del médico de la familia). El origen de ese malestar es complejo, y la posibilidad de saltar de la queja a una reflexión que nos permita avanzar hacia una medicina mejor parece muy difícil de lograr. Este libro intenta explorar algunos caminos de debate sobre el complicado panorama de la medicina del nuevo siglo, mediante capítulos agrupados en tres temas de interés: “La Medicina Basada en Evidencias”, “El encuentro entre pacientes y médicos”, y “Las nuevas miradas a la medicina del siglo XXI”.
Amazing Adventures of a Heart Surgeon
The startling originality of Amazing Adventures of a Heart Surgeon is intrinsically imbued in its focus on historical ethics and esthetic theories. Author and cardiovascular surgeon Domingo Liotta provides a penetrating interpretation from the first millennium BC, considered a major mystery to the world, to modern science. He also discusses the early conception of cardiovascular system, the oxygenation of tissues, the mysterious medical power of shamanism, Taoism, Ugarit, the mythic lost city. It is in this unique melding of Science and humanism that Liotta vehemently intends the definition of a good medical doctor-while recounting the story of his remarkable life. These lectures portray Lio...

All of Mexico
All of Mexico is seen through the eyes of Rimmon Squires, volunteer lieutenant on the staff of General Winfield Scott. Squires, a daguerreotypist, uses his skill with this breakthrough photographic technology to record the heroics and skullduggery of the United States first war of foreign conquest, following the old Cortez route to Mexico city. His lens captures Captain Robert E. Lee resting after his brilliant battle field reconnaissance at Cerro Gordo, the young artillery lieutenant, Tom Jackson, as he earns a brevet at Chapultepec and Sam Grant using a steeple emplaced howitzer with telling effect as the army assaults the Mexican capital. All of Mexico catches the defining moment in the ongoing history of our two neighboring republics. The army was led by men who were to become gray bearded heroes of the blue and gray forces of the Civil War. The Mexican war induced conflicting attitudes that still resonate today, shame at invading a sister republic, pride at gaining vast territories (what is now California and the southwestern states of the U. S.) and the realization of what was termed our national Manifest Destiny.
Public Opinion, Public Policy, and Smoking
Public Opinion, Public Policy, and Smoking tracks Americans’ changing attitudes about cigarette smoking over the last century. With data from more than five thousand public and privately conducted polls, this book carefully examines how Americans came to understand the health risks of smoking; how the tobacco industry sought to reframe smoking; and how public opinion support for tobacco control affected lawsuits, elections, and public policies. This book tests several well-known linkage models that connect public opinion with public policy. It shows that conventional wisdom about public opinion and tobacco control policy is often mistaken. This book offers the first in-depth look at American public opinion and cigarette smoking during the last century.
Masetti
