Despite the fact that most physicians will encounter medical litigation at some point in their careers, they have few resources for navigating through legal issues within the body of medical literature. With this in mind, this volume provides guidance to physicians and researchers. As the latest in the Emerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century series, it gives case scenarios in the format of problem-solving challenges faced by physicians in various practices and subspecialties. It covers topics including issues in the surgical and neurosurgical disciplines, obstetrics and gynecological infections, skin/soft tissue conditions, fevers, and complications related to HIV. It also gives information medical liability laws around the world. Rather than encourage defensive medical practice, this book provides information on administering better care and being honest and fair with patients when addressing inevitable mistakes. It is a must for all practicing physicians.

Issues in reproductive ethics, such as the capacity of parents to choose children', present challenges to philosophical ideas of freedom, responsibility and harm. This book responds to these challenges by proposing a new framework for thinking about the ethics of reproduction that emphasizes the ways that social norms affect decisions about who is born. The book provides clear and thorough discussions of some of the dominant problems in reproductive ethics - human enhancement and the notion of the normal, reproductive liberty and procreative beneficence, the principle of harm and discrimination against disability - while also proposing new ways of addressing these. The author draws upon the work of Michel Foucault, especially his discussions of biopolitics and norms, and later work on ethics, alongside feminist theorists of embodiment to argue for a new bioethics that is responsive to social norms, human vulnerability and the relational context of freedom and responsibility. This is done through compelling discussions of new technologies and practices, including the debate on liberal eugenics and human enhancement, the deliberate selection of disabilities, PGD and obstetric ultrasound.

This work offers a comprehensive understanding rooted in Catholic anthropology and moral theory of the meaning and limits of informed and proxy consent to experimentation on human subjects. In particular, it seeks to articulate the rationale for proxy consent in both therapeutic and nontherapeutic settings. As to the former, the book proposes that the Golden Rule, recognizing the basic inclinations of human nature toward objective goods perfective of human persons, should underpin the notion of proxy consent to experimentation on humans. As to the latter, an additional scrutiny of the amount of risk involved is necessary, since the risk-benefit ratio frequently invoked to justify higher-risk therapeutic research does not exist in its nontherapeutic counterpart. This study discusses a number of possible solutions to this question and develops a position that builds upon the objective notion of the human good.

The idea for Bioethics in Law began more than a decade ago, while I was studying social science and law. I was parti- larly interested in the collaborations that comprised social s- ence in law. Economic and social data in the pioneering Brandeis brief had been used to defend an early 20th-century labor law; surveys of consumer confusion had helped resolve trademark - fringement cases; psychologists' predictions of future violence had informed capital sentencing decisions. Additionally, Kenneth Clark's doll studies, cited by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education, had helped change the course of American 1 history. During that time, however, I was most intensely interested in bioethics, a relatively young field whose relationships to law had not been well analyzed. I wondered whether there could or should be a bioethics in law, because bioethics, unlike the social sciences, was not only in its infancy, but also had distinctly normative features, which might not mesh easily with law's own normativity.

This book is the first major work that addresses a core question in biomedical research: the question of acceptable risk. The acceptable level of risks is regulated by the requirement of proportionality in biomedical research law, which state that the risk and burden to the participant must be in proportion to potential benefits to the participant, society or science. This investigation addresses research on healthy volunteers, children, vulnerable subjects, and includes placebo controlled clinical trials. It represents a major contribution towards clarifying the most central, but also the most controversial and complex issue in biomedical research law and bioethics. The EU Clinical Trial Directive, the Council of Europe's Oviedo Convention (and its Additional Protocol), and national regulation in member states are covered. It is a relevant work for lawyers and ethicists, and the practical approach makes a valuable tool for researchers and members of research ethics committees supervising biomedical research.

Euthanasie is sinds 2002 niet langer strafbaar in België, maar het is en blijft een complex en gevoelig onderwerp. In dit boek delen ervaren artsen en verpleegkundigen in de palliatieve zorg én Vlaamse en Nederlandse filosofen openhartig hun ervaringen met levenseindezorg. Ze schetsen doorleefde patiëntenverhalen en stellen open vragen.Vandaag is euthanasie immers niet langer een taboe. Integendeel, het wordt vaak voorgesteld als een mooi en ongenuanceerd verhaal. De auteurs tonen elk vanuit hun eigen beleving aan dat de realiteit echter niet zo eenvoudig is. Ze vertellen hoe ze omgaan met euthanasieverzoeken en hoe ze reageren wanneer patiënten begeleid willen worden bij hun levenseinde.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/euthanasie-9789464013245

Complementary and Alternative Medicine examines the real-life implications of patient issues and the healthcare system in which care is delivered. Because complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are not presently considered to be a part of conventional medicine, this book discusses the effect that CAM has on patients, physicians, healthcare, and policymakers. Also included are the implications that CAM has on traditional patient-physician relationships as well as the physician's ethical obligations on this subject.

Dit basisboek geeft een helder overzicht van alle relevante wetten, besluiten en regelingen binnen het zorgstelsel. In het boek wordt eerst het zorgstelsel uiteengezet. Daarbij gaan de auteurs in op het verschil tussen de basisverzekering en de aanvullende verzekering en tussen een natura- en een restitutiepolis. Vervolgens komt het verband met de praktijk aan bod: welke geneesmiddelen worden door de verzekering vergoed en welke niet? Welke middelen komen voor op de geneesmiddelenlijst? Geldt er een vergoedingslimiet voor? Zijn er nadere voorwaarden aan de verstrekking van een bepaald geneesmiddel verbonden? Is er een beperking van de hoeveelheid per voorschrift? Het basisboek Verstrekking en vergoeding biedt een gedegen basis van alle relevante regels en wetten, zodat u op grond van de farmacotherapeutische werking van een geneesmiddel en de toepassing ervan kunt bepalen welke middelen vergoed worden en welke niet. De 4e druk is o.a. aangepast aan de nieuwe geneesmiddelenwet.
