Whatever deficits remain in the Canadian project to make justice available to all, class actions have been heralded as a success. The theme of access to justice runs throughout the discourse on collective litigation, but what do access and justice mean in this context? Class actions have been employed over the past several decades to overcome barriers for those who would otherwise have no recourse to the courts. Class Actions in Canada critically and empirically examines whether mass litigation is meeting this primary goal. First proposing a conceptualization that moves beyond mere access to a court procedure, leading expert Jasminka Kalajdzic then methodically assesses survey data and case studies to determine how class action practice fulfills or falls short of its objectives. With class actions becoming increasingly controversial in the United States and collective redress mechanisms being cautiously adopted elsewhere, this is a timely exploration of collective litigation in Canada.
Die Digitalisierung im Gesundheitssektor hat in den letzten Jahren stetig an Bedeutung gewonnen. Der Band nähert sich diesem Thema aus der rechtlichen Perspektive, die um Beiträge aus der Ethik und Bioinformatik angereichert wird. Der erste Themenbereich kreist um die elektronische Patientenakte (ePA). Der zweite Teil beschäftigt sich mit weiteren regulatorischen Innovationen, namentlich den digitalen Gesundheitsanwendungen (DiGAs), digitalen Pflegeanwendungen (DiPAs), Entscheidungsunterstützungssystemen (CDSS) und Software als Medizinprodukt (SaMD). Sodann widmen sich die Beiträge den Querschnittsfragen der Solidarität und Individualisierung sowie der Haftung. Der fünfte und letzte Themenkomplex beschäftigt sich mit möglichen Lösungsansätzen für datenschutzrechtliche Probleme aus einer rechtlichen und informatisch informierten Perspektive. Dieser Band liefert einen Beitrag zur Sichtung und Systematisierung der zuweilen disparat anmutenden Rechtsmaterie. Zentral ist die Einsicht, dass das Recht im Bereich Digital Health interdisziplinär, kreativ, flexibel und innovationsfördernd sein und bleiben.

In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. As a result, the pathology intern often comes into residency unprepared. Completely illustrated in color, this book lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.
