Technological innovation is deeply woven into the fabric of American culture, and is no less a basic feature of American health care. Medical technology saves lives and relieves suffering, and is enormously popular with the public, profitable for doctors, and a source of great wealth for industry. Yet its costs are rising at a dangerously unsustainable rate. The control of technology costs poses a terrible ethical and policy dilemma. How can we deny people what they may need to live and flourish?

A Communal Cure: How to Heal Our Educational System’s Sickness, Volume 1 is a nonfiction book of 11 chapters, organized in two parts. In the first part, the author makes a diagnosis of the problems that undermine the educational system worldwide. These problems include the shortage of teachers, the teaching method, violence in schools, how students with disabilities and gifted and talented students are taught, poverty, the growing mental issues among students, teachers, and parents, and the impact on education of the COVID-19 pandemic, to name a few.

The second edition of this text advocates for a transformational change in the way doctors protect their mental health, look out for their colleagues, create a kinder, more humane work culture and lead health system reform. Brimming with poignant and hopeful stories and quotes from a diverse array of doctors from many different specialties and at all career stages, the book is a celebration of the growing global interconnectedness and the changing face of the medical profession.

With technological advances and information sharing so prevalent, health care should be more transparent and easier to access than ever before. So why does it seem like everything about it - from pricing, drug development, and the emergence of new diseases to the intricacies of biologic and precision medicine therapies - is becoming more complex, not less?

How can you protect yourself against an enemy that you can't see? How can you meet the regulations of a policy you aren't aware of? If you are involved in the medical industry, you know that today's technology often complicates patient-record confidentiality. You also know that regulations meant to protect patient records, like the Health Insurance Portability and Affordability Act (HIPAA), grow more stringent on a daily basis. Yet each day, the cyberthreats that impede your ability to meet those regulatory standards increase.

Der "Financial Times"-Journalist Joe Miller hat Ugur Sahin und Özlem Türeci seit März 2020 begleitet. Zusammen mit ihnen beschreibt Miller das ungewöhnliche Jahr 2020 und zeichnet die Jagd nach dem ersten Impfstoff nach, die politischen Kämpfe und den Moment des Triumphs. Das Buch erzählt die persönliche Geschichte der beiden Wissenschaftler, wie Sahin und Türeci als Paar zusammenarbeiten, wie die mRNA-Technologie funktioniert und wie sie ihren Hauptforschungsschwerpunkt beeinflussen wird - die Krebsforschung.

Eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Anleitung zum Beenden der Corona-Pandmie. Wir kämpfen nicht nur gegen das Coronavirus, sondern ebenso gegen die Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Evolution: Viren verändern sich schneller, als es Wissenschaftlern möglich ist, neue Impfstoffe zu entwickeln. Wenn jedoch die Natur stärker ist als unsere technologischen Fähigkeiten, sollten wir uns dann nicht mit ihr verbünden, anstatt sie zu bekämpfen? Schließlich hat sie uns mit der bewährten immunologischen Fähigkeit ausgestattet, Viren wie Corona effizient zu besiegen – sonst gäbe es uns schließlich nicht mehr.

Life sciences companies deliver the most innovative, life changing products in the world. Period. And yet, when it comes to delivering impactful experiences built around patients and healthcare professionals that leverage omnichannel capabilities to commercialize these therapies, our industry struggles to transform (to put it diplomatically). Why? It's because we never took the time to properly educate ourselves on the basic building blocks of omnichannel capabilities and advanced concepts on customer-driven experiences that address stakeholder needs.

Everyone knows the path to becoming a doctor: study, study and more study. Depending on your specialty, you’ll spend four years in pre-med, followed by four years in medical school. And then, to earn that white coat, you’ll toil night and day, rounding for years as a resident in a range of healthcare settings. You might think that a few of those many hours would be devoted to helping a novice doctor master the basics of launching a private practice. However, what Justin Berthold, D.O., learned the hard way was that there was no roadmap for how to go into private practice.

Our health care system is crippled by desperate efforts to prevent the inevitable. A third of the national Medicare budget - nearly $175 billion - is spent on the final year of life, and a third of that amount on the final month, often on expensive (and futile) treatments. Such efforts betray a fundamental flaw in how we think about healthcare: we squander resources on hopeless situations, instead of using them to actually improve health.

What Is a Doctor? is a vital contribution to the ongoing debate about how we maintain an NHS that is both fit for purpose and free. Using stories and case studies from across his thirty-year career as a GP, Dr Phil Whitaker offers insight into the medical movements, political interference and societal changes that have transformed the role of doctor over the past three decades.

The United States has the most expensive healthcare system in the world. While policy makers have argued over who is at fault for this, the system has been quietly moving toward high-deductible insurance plans that require patients to pay large amounts out of pocket before insurance kicks in. The idea behind this shift is that patients will become better consumers of healthcare when forced to pay for their medical expenses.

Covid is a viral infection that the human race has not seen before, but has become much more intriguing than just that. It may be the first pandemic from a genetically modified virus. The vaccine is also a mRNA derived vaccine, one never before used in the general population and has properties that are unlike the antibody protection from our usual vaccines or natural infections.

Stoppt das Krankenhaussterben! Krankenhäuser in Deutschland und Europa sind längst zum Spekulationsobjekt international agierender, privater Klinikkonzerne geworden. Die Folge: Die Konzerne erzielen Renditen aus dem solidarischen System unseres Gesundheitswesens. Thomas Strohschneider war selbst jahrelang als Chefarzt in einer privatwirtschaftlich geführten Klinik tätig.

L'amélioration de la santé humaine est une anomalie à l'échelle de l'évolution. Pendant des dizaines de milliers d'années, les humains ne vivaient pas plus de trente ans en moyenne. La grande extension de notre espérance de vie a commencé autour des années 1750 en Occident. Lente mais continue, elle est principalement due à la désinfection et à une meilleure alimentation. C'est ainsi que, en deux siècles, notre longévité a doublé. Depuis 1950, les progrès de la médecine et de la pharmacie ont permis de gagner encore vingt-cinq années de vie.

Unser Gesundheitssystem steht unter hohem Veränderungsdruck: Wir leben aufgrund bahnbrechender medizinischer Fortschritte immer länger, jedoch führt unser zunehmend ungesunder Lebensstil dazu, dass wir immer häufiger an chronischen Krankheiten leiden.

Die Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen zu forcieren, ist ein möglicher Weg, den Kostensteigerungen zu begegnen und gleichzeitig Kranke besser zu versorgen.
