Morbus Parkinson: Interdisziplinäre Reflektionen über eine Erkrankung
by Horst Przuntek Thomas MüllerNeue bahnbrechende wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse über die idiopathische Parkinsonkrankheit und verwandte neurodegenerative Prozesse sind nur dann zu erwarten, wenn die Bereitschaft zur interdisziplinären Kooperation, Fortbildung und Forschung gefördert wird. So lassen sich die in den verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen gewonnenen wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse über die letztendlich teilweise immer wieder synchron ablaufenden Prozesse im Körper im Sinne eines ganzheitlichen Therapieansatzes zum Wohle der oft multimorbiden Patienten bündeln und optimieren. Die zunehmende Spezialisierung und Trennung der einzelnen medizinischen Disziplinen sollte einer neurobiologischen Gesamtsichtweise dieser neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen mit deren Auswirkung auf Körper, Gehirn und Psyche weichen. Mit dem interdisziplinären Aspekt bei der Versorgung von Patienten, die an der idiopathischen Parkinsonkrankheit oder ähnlichen neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen leiden, beschäftigen sich auch die hier vorgestellten Beiträge.

Morbus Perthes: Ätiopathogenese, Differentialdiagnose, Therapie und Prognose
by Klaus-Peter Schulitz Hans-Otto DustmannJetzt in überarbeiteter Neuauflage:o Neuere Verfahren, wie Sonographie, Szintigraphie, Computer- und Kernspintomographieo Ausführliche Bewertung der Verfahren und Therapieansätzeo Behandlungsschema für individuelle Therapie-Lösungen
Morbus Perthes: Ätiopathogenese, Differentialdiagnose, Therapie und Prognose
by Klaus-Peter Schulitz Hans-Otto DustmannErstmals liegt ein umfassendes Buch über den Morbus Perthes vor. Das bisher ungeklärte Krankheitsbild wird eingehend beschrieben und von der Geschichte über die Ätiopathogenese, die Diagnostik, Differentialdiagnostik und Therapie bis hin zur Prognose dargestellt. Neben der klassischen klinischen und radiologischen Diagnostik werden auch neuere Verfahren, wie die Sonographie, Szintigraphie, Computer- sowie Kernspintomographie, besprochen und bewertet. Die Autoren stellen die widersprüchlichen Auffassungen in der Therapie einander gegenüber und entwickeln, anhand eigener klinischer und experimenteller Untersuchungen, ein einheitliches, jedoch differenziertes Behandlungskonzept. Das vorgeschlagene Therapieschema orientiert sich am Alter, dem Erkrankungsbild und an der Prognose. Die Behandlung kann konservativ oder operativ sein oder gar einen Therapieverzicht zulassen. Die Orthesenversorgung wird detailliert aufgezeigt, die vielfältigen operativen Möglichkeiten werden in allen Einzelheiten beschrieben und nach ihren Erfolgsaussichten analysiert. Für jeden individuellen Perthes-Fall geben die Autoren ein optimales Behandlungskonzept.
Morbus Sudeck: Fortschritte in Pathogenese, Diagnose und Therapie (essentials)
by Reiner BartlIn diesem essential wird das „Complex Regional Pain Syndrome“ (CRPS), früher als „Morbus Sudeck“ bezeichnet, als zermürbende, die Lebensqualität zerstörende chronische Schmerzkrankheit vorgestellt. Sie manifestiert sich als lokale akute Entzündung oft nach Bagatelltraumen, charakterisiert durch Schmerz, Schwellung, Temperaturunterschiede und livide Verfärbung der betroffenen Extremität. Neue Erkenntnisse in der Pathophysiologie dieser immer noch rätselhaften Erkrankung führten zu Fortschritten im Verständnis, in der Diagnostik und vor allem in der Therapie. Das mit dem CRPS assoziierte Knochenmarködem ist heute mit Bisphosphonat- Infusionen heilbar. Sonderformen des CRPS bei Kindern und Jugendlichen, bei Schwangeren und im hohen Alter werden vorgestellt.

More Harm than Good?: The Moral Maze of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
by Edzard Ernst Kevin SmithThis book reveals the numerous ways in which moral, ethical and legal principles are being violated by those who provide, recommend or sell ‘complementary and alternative medicine’ (CAM). The book analyses both academic literature and internet sources that promote CAM. Additionally the book presents a number of brief scenarios, both hypothetical and real-life, about individuals who use CAM or who fall prey to ethically dubious CAM practitioners. The events and conundrums described in these scenarios could happen to almost anyone. Professor emeritus of complementary medicine Edzard Ernst together with bioethicist Kevin Smith provide a thorough and authoritative ethical analysis of a range of CAM modalities, including acupuncture, chiropractic, herbalism, and homeopathy. This book could and should interest all medical professionals who have contact to complementary medicine and will be an invaluable reference for patients deliberating which course of treatment to adopt.

More Rules of Radiology
by Paul McCoubrieBased on the social media success of my series of articles around ‘The Rules of Radiology’ this follows on from the first volume (‘The Rules of Radiology’), published in 2021. ‘More Rules of Radiology’ is the second and final volume that contains Rules 51-100. The Rules provide a guide to what radiology is and what radiologists do. Or rather what radiology should be and what radiologists should do. This book and its prior sister volume looks hard not just at radiology but also provides a distinctly wry look at the curious and occasionally alien world of hospital-based medical practice. I ask questions and poke fun but it is serious intent. My motto is ‘first make you laugh, then make you think’. Or, as George Bernard Shaw wrote, “My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity”. Each of the Rules addresses an important part of professional practice. I analyse the underpinning concepts of modern radiology, critically reflect on underlying assumptions, pose thoughtful questions and provide measured debate. All sprinkled with a mixture of weak jokes, puns and gratuitous word play. As a relatively young but rapidly expanding specialty, there has been no guide for radiologists, no moral compass. Until now. I provide opinions and guidance on key matters; sometimes controversial but always reasoned. The hope is to provide the reader with much food for thought. Not only that but this volume and its predecessor aim to provide a manifesto for radiologists across the globe to raise their game and serve their patients better.

More Than Hot: A Short History of Fever (Johns Hopkins Biographies of Disease)
by Christopher HamlinChristopher Hamlin’s magisterial work engages a common experience—fever—in all its varieties and meanings. Reviewing the representations of that condition from ancient times to the present, More Than Hot is a history of the world through the lens of fever. The book deals with the expression of fever, with the efforts of medical scientists to classify it, and with fever’s changing social, cultural, and political significance. Long before there were thermometers to measure it, people recognized fever as a dangerous, if transitory, state of being. It was the most familiar form of alienation from the normal self, a concern to communities and states as well as to patients, families, and healers. The earliest medical writers struggled for a conceptual vocabulary to explain fever. During the Enlightenment, the idea of fever became a means to acknowledge the biological experiences that united humans. A century later, in the age of imperialism, it would become a key element of conquest, both an important way of differentiating places and races, and of imposing global expectations of health. Ultimately the concept would split: "fevers" were dangerous and often exotic epidemic diseases, while "fever" remained a curious physiological state, certainly distressing but usually benign. By the end of the twentieth century, that divergence divided the world between a global South profoundly affected by fevers—chiefly malaria—and a North where fever, now merely a symptom, was so medically trivial as to be transformed into a familiar motif of popular culture.A senior historian of science and medicine, Hamlin shares stories from individuals—some eminent, many forgotten—who exemplify aspects of fever: reflections of the fevered, for whom fevers, and especially the vivid hallucinations of delirium, were sometimes transformative; of those who cared for them (nurses and, often, mothers); and of those who sought to explain deadly epidemic outbreaks. Significant also are the arguments of the reformers, for whom fever stood as a proxy for manifold forms of injustice. Broad in scope and sweep, Hamlin’s study is a reflection of how the meanings of diseases continue to shift, affecting not only the identities we create but often also our ability to survive.

More than Medicine: The Broken Promise of American Health
by Robert M. KaplanAmerican science produces the best medical treatments in the world. Yet U.S. citizens lag behind in life expectancy and quality of life. Robert Kaplan marshals extensive data to make the case that U.S. health care priorities are sorely misplaced—invested in attacking disease, not in solving social problems that engender disease in the first place.
More Than Medicine: Nurse Practitioners and the Problems They Solve for Patients, Health Care Organizations, and the State (The Culture and Politics of Health Care Work)
by LaTonya J. TrotterIn More Than Medicine, LaTonya J. Trotter chronicles the everyday work of a group of nurse practitioners (NPs) working on the front lines of the American health care crisis as they cared for four hundred African American older adults living with poor health and limited means. Trotter describes how these NPs practiced an inclusive form of care work that addressed medical, social, and organizational problems that often accompany poverty. In solving this expanded terrain of problems from inside the clinic, these NPs were not only solving a broader set of concerns for their patients; they became a professional solution for managing "difficult people" for both their employer and the state. Through More Than Medicine, we discover that the problems found in the NP's exam room are as much a product of our nation's disinvestment in social problems as of physician scarcity or rising costs.
More-than-One Health: Humans, Animals, and the Environment Post-COVID (Routledge Studies in Environment and Health)
by Irus BravermanThis edited volume examines the complex entanglements of human, animal, and environmental health. It assembles leading scholars from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and medicine to explore existing One Health approaches and to envision a mode of health that is both more-than-human and also more sensitive to, and explicit about, colonial and neocolonial legacies—urging the decolonization of One Health. While acknowledging the importance of One Health, the volume at the same time critically examines its roots, highlighting the structural biases and power dynamics still at play in this global health regime. The volume is distinctive in its geographic breadth. It travels from Inuit sled dogs in the Arctic to rock hyraxes in Jerusalem, from black-faced spoonbills in Taiwan to street dogs in India, from spittle-bugs on Mallorca’s almond trees to jellyfish management at sea, and from rabies in sub-Saharan Africa to massive culling practices in South Korea. Together, the contributors call for One Health to move toward a more transparent, plural, and just perception of health that takes seriously the role of more-than-humans and of nonscientific knowledges, pointing to ways in which One Health can—and should—be decolonized. This volume will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the medical humanities, posthumanities, environmental humanities, science and technology studies, animal studies, multispecies ethnography, anthrozoology, and critical public health.

The Morehouse Model: How One School of Medicine Revolutionized Community Engagement and Health Equity
by Ronald L. Braithwaite Tabia Henry Akintobi Daniel S. Blumenthal W. Mary LangleyAmong the 154 medical schools in the United States, Morehouse School of Medicine stands out for its formidable success in improving its surrounding communities. Over its history, Morehouse has become known as an institution committed to community engagement with an interest in closing the health equity gap between people of color and the white majority population. In The Morehouse Model, Ronald L. Braithwaite and his coauthors reveal the lessons learned over the decades since the school's founding—lessons that other medical schools and health systems will be eager to learn in the hope of replicating Morehouse's success. Describing the philosophical, cultural, and contextual grounding of the Morehouse Model, they give concrete examples of it in action before explaining how to foster the collaboration between community-based organizations and university faculty that is essential to making this model of care and research work. Arguing that establishing ongoing collaborative projects requires genuineness, transparency, and trust from everyone involved, the authors offer a theory of citizen participation as a critical element for facilitating behavioral change. Drawing on case studies, exploratory research, surveys, interventions, and secondary analysis, they extrapolate lessons to advance the field of community-based participatory research alongside community health.Written by well-respected leaders in the effort to reduce health inequities, The Morehouse Model is rooted in social action and social justice constructs. It will be a touchstone for anyone conducting community-based participatory research, as well as any institution that wants to have a positive effect on its local community.
