Download or read book The Ethics of Autism written by Deborah R. Barnbaum and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism is one of the most compelling, controversial, and heartbreaking cognitive disorders. It presents unique philosophical challenges as well, raising intriguing questions in philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and philosophy of language that need to be explored if the autistic population is to be responsibly served. Starting from the "theory of mind" thesis that a fundamental deficit in autism is the inability to recognize that other persons have minds, Deborah R. Barnbaum considers its implications for the nature of consciousness, our understanding of the consciousness of others, meaning theories in philosophy of language, and the modality of mind. This discussion lays the groundwork for consideration of the value of an autistic life, as well as the moral theories available to persons with autism. The book also explores questions about genetic decision making, research into the nature of autism, and the controversial quest for a cure. This is a timely and wide-ranging book on a disorder that commends itself to serious ethical examination.
Download or read book Sports Medicine written by Dr. Aruna Dogra and published by Friends Publications (India). This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports medicine, also known as Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM), is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness and the treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise. Although most sports teams have employed team physicians for many years, it is only since the late 20th century that sports medicine has emerged as a distinct field of health care. Sports medicine specializes in preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries related to participating in sports and/or exercise, specifically the rotation or deformation of joints or muscles caused by engaging in such physical activities. The sports medicine team includes specialty physicians and surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, coaches, other personnel as well as the athlete himself/herself. Because of the competitive nature of sports, a primary focus of sports medicine is the rapid recovery of patients, which drives many innovations in the field. Sports, medicine tries to provide the environment so that one’s genetic potentials are fully realized. Any disease or injury that has the potential to influence the sports performance is covered under sports injuries. The present book not only describes sports injuries in simple language but also the mechanism of such injuries.
