Book Description
The Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Society is proud to present the 50th Anniversary Commemorative Journal. This Journal celebrates the history, activities and accomplishments of the many esteemed members and colleagues who made the CMBES what it is today, and advanced medicine, biology and healthcare technology in Canada. It represents a snapshot in time of the evolution of our national conference, promotion of both official languages and gender parity in our profession. This journal also celebrates our national interests in biomedical research, academia, clinical practice and industry partners. It is hoped the reader enjoys this historical review, as much as we enjoyed preparing it.

The Sociology of Health, Healing, and Illness
Author: Gregory L. WeissPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000857492
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 778
Book Description
With thorough coverage of inequality in health care access and practice, this leading textbook is widely acclaimed by instructors as the most comprehensive of any available. Written in an engaging and accessible style, with multiple student-friendly features, it integrates recent research in medical sociology and public health to introduce students to a wide range of issues affecting health, healing, and health care today. This new edition links information on COVID-19 into each chapter, providing students with a solid understanding of the social history of medicine; social epidemiology; social stress; health and illness behavior; the profession of medicine; nurses and allied health workers; complementary and alternative medicine; the physician-patient relationship; medical ethics; and the financing and organization of medical care. Important changes and enhancements in the eleventh edition include: Inclusion of material on COVID-19 in the main text of every chapter, with special sections at the end of each chapter exploring additional intersections of COVID-19 with chapter content. Expanded coverage of fundamental cause theory and the social determinants of health. New centralized discussions of how and why social disparities in race, class, gender, and sexual identity impact health outcomes in the United States. New “In the Field” boxed inserts on topics such as medical education and student debt, physicians’ use of medical jargon, and corporate greed. New “In Comparative Focus” boxed inserts on topics such as the 1918 influenza pandemic, infant and maternal mortality in Afghanistan, the patient care coordination process, drug prices, long-term care, and global health. A more in-depth look at both physician and nursing shortages. Expanded discussion of nurse burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. Curricular and pedagogical changes in medical schools. Discussion of continued changes in the financing of the US health care system. A more in-depth look at quality concerns in nursing homes. Increased attention to the health care systems in Norway, Germany, Cuba, and Mexico. An updated instructor’s guide with test bank and PowerPoint slides.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Canadian Journal of Medical Science, Vol. 3: A Monthly Journal of British and Foreign Medical Science, Criticism and News; January, 1878 to December, 1878 Memorable and eventful in the history of Medicine as was the year 1876, no mean successor has been found in the twelve months which have just elapsed. Unmarked by startling discoveries, undisturbed by the fulmination of new doctrines seeking to overthrow the very basis of the Science, it has been remarkable for steady progress and advance, proceeding step by step, ever excelsior, guided by the light of reason and certified by the test-stone of experience, "proving all things, and holding fast to that which is good." Purposing to take a retrospective glance over the past year's contribution to our knowledge of Medical Science in its various branches, wo do not forget that the subject is a long one (ars longa, vita brevis) and the space at our disposal necessarily restricted; we shall therefore enter on our account without further prelude or observation. Anatomy And Physiology. In the domain of Anatomy and Physiology advances have been made, amongst which we note: 1st. In connexion with the nervous system - the series of very laborious investigations and interesting deductions of Messrs. Charcot, Pitres, and Bourdon, of Paris, and Dr. Broadbent of London, on the subject of cerebral localizations, too long to quote. Prof. Langen-dorf has communicated to the new series of Dubois Keymond's Archiv de Physiol, an interesting account of his investigations on the subject of Inhibitory Nerves, the existence of which has been known since the observations of the brothers Weber on the Par-vagum. He establishes that the reflex inhibitory influence of each half of the brain extends over the opposite side of the body, and that its seat is not only in the lobi optici, but also in the cerebral hemispheres. Dr. Tyson of Philadelphia records (Amer. Jour, of Med. Sciences, July, 1877) a curious case occurring in his practice, the observation of which fully confirmed the view that the cerebellum is a centre of co-ordination of muscular movement; and another case recorded in Virchow's Archives, by Dr. Kohts of Strasbourg, goes to show that the corpora quadrige-mina must be added. Flourens' assertion that "the vestibulary nerve is a completely distinct pair from the auditory nerve or the nervus cochle " has been confirmed by the results of Horbaczewski's investigations on the nerves of the internal ear. M. Luys records (Soc. de Biol.) a case of compensatory hypertrophy of the right hemisphere found after death in a case of right hemiplegia. During the year M. Duret presented to the Societe de Biologie drawings and injections exhibiting the very great correlation which exists between the distribution of the arteries and the physiological regions of the brain, and shewing, amongst other things, that a special artery is given off to the third convolution. The last point in connexion with the cerebral nervous system which we have to mention is the investigation undertaken by Duke Charles, of Bavaria, M.D., to refute the assertion of Popoff that white blood corpuscles were found in the brain as the result of typhus and typhoid fevers. He examined fifty brains, and the result was "that in the cortical portion of every brain, healthy or otherwise, are found numerous white blood corpuscles." These may accumulate on account of retarded circulation combined with an increased quantity of water in the brain.

Ice
Author: Mariana GosnellPublisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0307791467
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 793
Book Description
Like the adventurer who circled an iceberg to see it on all sides, Mariana Gosnell, former Newsweek reporter and author of Zero Three Bravo, a book about flying a small plane around the United States, explores ice in all its complexity, grandeur, and significance.More brittle than glass, at times stronger than steel, at other times flowing like molasses, ice covers 10 percent of the earth’s land and 7 percent of its oceans. In nature it is found in myriad forms, from the delicate needle ice that crunches underfoot in a winter meadow to the massive, centuries-old ice that forms the world’s glaciers. Scientists theorize that icy comets delivered to Earth the molecules needed to get life started, and ice ages have shaped much of the land as we know it.Here is the whole world of ice, from the freezing of Pleasant Lake in New Hampshire to the breakup of a Vermont river at the onset of spring, from the frozen Antarctic landscape that emperor penguins inhabit to the cold, watery route bowhead whales take between Arctic ice floes. Mariana Gosnell writes about frostbite and about the recently discovered 5,000-year-old body of a man preserved in an Alpine glacier. She discusses the work of scientists who extract cylinders of Greenland ice to study the history of the earth’s climate and try to predict its future. She examines ice in plants, icebergs, icicles, and hail; sea ice and permafrost; ice on Mars and in the rings of Saturn; and several new forms of ice developed in labs. She writes of the many uses humans make of ice, including ice-skating, ice fishing, iceboating, and ice climbing; building ice roads and seeding clouds; making ice castles, ice cubes, and iced desserts. Ice is a sparkling illumination of the natural phenomenon whose ebbs and flows over time have helped form the world we live in. It is a pleasure to read, and important to read—for its natural science and revelations about ice’s influence on our everyday lives, and for what it has to tell us about our environment today and in the future.
