Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Plague: Dealing With the Historical, Epidemiological, Clinical, Therapeutic, and Preventive Aspects of the Disease This volume has been written at the request of the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press with the object of bringing within a moderate compass the principal facts concerning plague, from its historical, epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and preventive aspects. Eleven years ago, plague as an epidemic disease was merely of historical interest. Confined to some remote places in China, in India, in Persia, in Arabia, and in Africa, its power was generally believed to be extinct. To-day plague is a matter of concern to many countries and has been the subject of two International Conferences. These Conferences have met, discussed and agreed to the carrying out of measures which, while inflicting the least injury on commerce, might reasonably be expected to protect Europe from an invasion of the disease, and during the past eight years Europe has, notwithstanding one or two alarms, had little reason to doubt that the adoption of these measures has been most serviceable in preventing the permanent lodgement of plague. Europe is however but a small part of the world and other continents have not been so fortunate, and although no great outburst has occurred on the American, African, or Australian Continent, yet there remains the fact that the disease has acquired a lodgement in these and necessitates the greatest vigilance. Plague takes its own time and opportunities for its development, and it is unwise to be lulled into a sense of security by its apparent impotency to spread in a particular country. That it is capable of spreading is seen too plainly in India. Few thought it possible, when plague broke out in Bombay in 1896 after an absence of 200 years, that the disease would not be controlled, checked and stamped out in a short time. It was a rude awakening when the deaths began to mount up to a few thousands to find the old scenes associated with plague epidemics reappear.

Download or read book The Burdens of Disease written by J. N. Hays and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the original edition of The Burdens of Disease that appeared in ISIS stated, "Hays has written a remarkable book. He too has a message: That epidemics are primarily dependent on poverty and that the West has consistently refused to accept this." This revised edition confirms the book's timely value and provides a sweeping approach to the history of disease. In this updated volume, with revisions and additions to the original content, including the evolution of drug-resistant diseases and expanded coverage of HIV/AIDS, along with recent data on mortality figures and other relevant statistics, J. N. Hays chronicles perceptions and responses to plague and pestilence over two thousand years of western history. Disease is framed as a multidimensional construct, situated at the intersection of history, politics, culture, and medicine, and rooted in mentalities and social relations as much as in biological conditions of pathology. This revised edition of The Burdens of Disease also studies the victims of epidemics, paying close attention to the relationships among poverty, power, and disease.

Download or read book To Err Is Human written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals. That's more than die from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDSâ€"three causes that receive far more public attention. Indeed, more people die annually from medication errors than from workplace injuries. Add the financial cost to the human tragedy, and medical error easily rises to the top ranks of urgent, widespread public problems. To Err Is Human breaks the silence that has surrounded medical errors and their consequenceâ€"but not by pointing fingers at caring health care professionals who make honest mistakes. After all, to err is human. Instead, this book sets forth a national agendaâ€"with state and local implicationsâ€"for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety through the design of a safer health system. This volume reveals the often startling statistics of medical error and the disparity between the incidence of error and public perception of it, given many patients' expectations that the medical profession always performs perfectly. A careful examination is made of how the surrounding forces of legislation, regulation, and market activity influence the quality of care provided by health care organizations and then looks at their handling of medical mistakes. Using a detailed case study, the book reviews the current understanding of why these mistakes happen. A key theme is that legitimate liability concerns discourage reporting of errorsâ€"which begs the question, "How can we learn from our mistakes?" Balancing regulatory versus market-based initiatives and public versus private efforts, the Institute of Medicine presents wide-ranging recommendations for improving patient safety, in the areas of leadership, improved data collection and analysis, and development of effective systems at the level of direct patient care. To Err Is Human asserts that the problem is not bad people in health careâ€"it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer. Comprehensive and straightforward, this book offers a clear prescription for raising the level of patient safety in American health care. It also explains how patients themselves can influence the quality of care that they receive once they check into the hospital. This book will be vitally important to federal, state, and local health policy makers and regulators, health professional licensing officials, hospital administrators, medical educators and students, health caregivers, health journalists, patient advocatesâ€"as well as patients themselves. First in a series of publications from the Quality of Health Care in America, a project initiated by the Institute of Medicine
