Abstract

Within forty-eight hours after birth, the heel of every baby in the United States has been pricked and the blood sent for compulsory screening to detect or rule out a large number of disorders. Newborn screening is expanding rapidly, fueled by the prospect of saving lives. Yet many lives are also changed by it in ways not yet recognized. Testing Baby is the first book to draw on parents’ experiences with newborn screening in order to examine its far-reaching sociological consequences. Rachel Grob’s cautionary tale also explores the powerful ways that parents’ narratives have shaped this emotionally charged policy arena. Newborn screening occurs almost always without parents’ consent and often without their knowledge or understanding, yet it has the power to alter such things as family dynamics at the household level, the context of parenting, the way we manage disease identity, and how parents’ interests are understood and solicited in policy debates.

Abstract

Colorectal Cancer Screening provides a complete overview of colorectal cancer screening, from epidemiology and molecular abnormalities, to the latest screening techniques such as stool DNA and FIT, Computerized Tomography (CT) Colonography, High Definition Colonoscopes and Narrow Band Imaging. As the text is devoted entirely to CRC screening, it features many facts, principles, guidelines and figures related to screening in an easy access format. This volume provides a complete guide to colorectal cancer screening which will be informative to the subspecialist as well as the primary care practitioner. It represents the only text that provides this up to date information about a subject that is continually changing. For the primary practitioner, information on the guidelines for screening as well as increasing patient participation is presentedd. For the subspecialist, information regarding the latest imaging techniques as well as flat adenomas and chromoendoscopy are covered. The section on the molecular changes in CRC will appeal to both groups. The text includes up to date information about colorectal screening that encompasses the entire spectrum of the topic and features photographs of polyps as well as diagrams of the morphology of polyps as well as photographs of CT colonography images. Algorithms are presented for all the suggested guidelines. Chapters are devoted to patient participation in screening and risk factors as well as new imaging technology. This useful volume explains the rationale behind screening for CRC. In addition, it covers the different screening options as well as the performance characteristics, when available in the literature, for each test. This volume will be used by the sub specialists who perform screening tests as well as primary care practitioners who refer patients to be screened for colorectal cancer.

Abstract

Les tests pour des maladies ou des traits génétiques connaissent un développement rapide. Les dépistages à la naissance, notamment, représentent ceux qui sont globalement les plus utilisés. Dans ce contexte, cet ouvrage analyse les enjeux sociaux d'une politique de dépistage pour une maladie génétique (la mucoviscidose), dans leur triple dimension scientifique, politique et morale. Sont explorés les conditions d'émergence de sa mise en œuvre, les logiques politiques qui la sous-tendent et les effets qu'elle produit en termes de normes et de valeurs. Fruit d'une enquête menée pendant cinq ans, l'étude montre les liens entre des savoirs biomédicaux et des techniques politiques, les types de sujets produits, la manière dont s'étend l'idée d'anormalité biomédicale, et l'articulation entre pratiques de soins et logiques de sélection des fœtus. Mais il est aussi possible de la considérer comme une contribution à des questions anthropologiques telles que le vrai, le choix, la norme et la vie de qualité. Elle tente ainsi de rendre compte des pratiques ordinaires liées à la génétique médicale actuelle – même si les questions qu'elles posent le sont beaucoup moins – et, au-delà, de ce que ce dépistage nous dit des transformations de la médecine et de nos sociétés.
