First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Since the first concepts of gene therapy were formulated, the hemopoietic system has been considered the most natural first target tissue for genetic manipulation. The reasons for this include the fact that a very large number of inherited disorders (including some of the most common disorders, such as the hemoglobinopathies) are disorders of the hemopoietic system, and the large amount of experience in hematopoietic transplantation biology. The consequence of this resulted in the first clinical trial of gene therapy in 1989, where two children suffering from severe combined immune deficiency (ADA-SCID) were transplanted with T-cells express ing adenosine deaminase (the defective enzyme in p...
Labile blood products and plasma-derived products are very sensitive form a social viewpoint. Along with the challenges faced by all medicinal products there is an added challenge due to the lack of raw material and the social problems with regards to their acquisition. Obtaining them depends on blood and plasma donations, which are insufficient. Europeans as a whole fail to even cover 40 % of their needs in plasma for fractionation. The aspiration that all donations shall be voluntary, free and unpaid, is an altruistic objective, which reality, unfortunately, contradicts every day. Governments and all social Agencies should promote to the maximum its actions in order to achieve the greatest number of donation each day. Even from a humanitarian or ethical viewpoint nobody can deny a possible donor accepting incentives. This incentive discussion, plus the concept of self-sufficiency of countries and more are discussed in this volume.
This text is a review of molecular immunohematology (MI). It draws from analyses and case studies around the world and details many techniques used in many labs. It is aimed at anyone interested in how MI is changing blood bank and transfusion medicine.
Eschewing social scientific approaches, which tend to examine race and racism in terms of quasi-static ideal types, this book surveys differing historical contexts from the era of scientific racism in the nineteenth-century to the post-racial racism of the post 9/11 period, and from Europe to the United States, in order to understand how racism has been articulated in differing situations. It is distinguished by the attention it pays to the on-going power of racial discourse in the contemporary period as a legitimating factor in oppression. It exemplifies methodological openness, combining the work of historians, philosophers, religious scholars, and literary critics, and includes differing theoretical models in pursuing a critical approach to race: cultural studies; trauma theory and psychoanalysis; critical theory and consideration of the "new racism"; and postcolonialism and the literature on globalization. It brings together the work of leading academics with younger practitioners and is capped off by an interview with world-renowned intellectual Cornel West on black intellectuals in America. This book was previously published as a special issue of Patterns of Prejudice.
L’hématologie et la transfusion ont connu de profondes mutations : médicales d’une part, nouveaux outils thérapeutiques (d’origine trans-fusionnelle ou apparentés à la transfusion), nouveaux moyens diagnostiques (sur des maladies requérant, en elles-mêmes ou pour leur traitement, la transfusion) ; et organisationnelles d’autre part, une large restructuration du paysage transfusionnel français (à la suite de l’affaire du sang contaminé). Les deux disciplines se sont enrichies mutuellement, la transfusion sanguine française étant désormais régie par le professionnalisme des acteurs, le développement du management de la qualité, la médicalisation des prescriptions, la...
Oubliez tout ce que vous avez lu, cru ou entendu sur la fin du monde. Rien ne s'est passé comme prévu. Même si en fait la fin du monde n'a jamais été prévue, ni même programmée. Mais elle avait tant et tant de fois été envisagée. Depuis la nuit des temps. Dans les livres sacrés, les fausses interprétations, par des dizaines de prophètes, des gourous ou des illuminés. Alors, pas de troisième guerre mondiale ou d'épidémies. Aucun virus foudroyant, pas de bombes H. Pas d'attaques extra-terrestres, pas de tremblements de terre ou de tsunamis. Pas de trou noir accidentel. Pas d'astéroïde provoquant un hiver atomique, pas de réchauffement climatique incontrôlable. Pas de famines, pas de morts-vivants. Pas d'archanges chevauchant les nuées venus fêter leur Armageddon, pas de jugement divin, oubliez la main de dieu. Non, la fin du monde était bien moins prévisible, moins tape-à-l'oeil : l'humanité s'est éteinte.
