MANAGING INNOVATION IN HEALTHCARE

by James Barlow (Imperial College London, UK) “The book would be a great text for advanced healthcare students, as it is chock-full of fairminded and complete discussions of different scholarly views. The book contains the musts of excellent text books too: ample caselets, boxes and figures that illustrate key concepts; chapter summaries; and a distillation of key concepts and further reading suggestions stud every chapter. It is useful for practitioners too, with excellent text and case examples of how different nations approach innovation and quality measurement — e.g. pay for performance models — and full discussions of regulations of drugs and devices. All in all, a terrific book for those of us frustrated by the plethora of ‘shoulds’ and the shortages of ‘how tos’ in healthcare innovations.” Regina Herzlinger Harvard Business School Readership: MSc, PhD and MBA students on health policy, management and public health courses, managers, consultants and policy makers involved in healthcare services in both the public and private sector. 444pp 978-178-6341-51-8 978-178-6341-52-5(pbk)

GLOBALISATION OF VARIOLATION

The Overlooked Origins of Immunity for Smallpox in the 18th Century

by Alicia Grant (Royal Society of Medicine, UK) Devastating epidemics of untreatable smallpox caused not only deaths but dire disfigurements of face and body as well as one third of all blindness. In the 20th century mortality was estimated at 300 million up to 1978, the year it was proclaimed to be eradicated. Historically, the fact has been overlooked, often forgotten, that the preventative practice of variolation for smallpox was widely adopted internationally during the 18th century and was the precursor to refinement as cowpox vaccination. Never previously traced was the extensive global adoption of the technique or the impetus for this transmission and how, in these countries of its adoption, variolation was the prime mover for a national concept of public health with the establishment of free institutions. The global adoption of the first invasive medical prophylaxis for any disease, the origin of immunity, deserves its place in history. Readership: Medical doctors and students; historians of science, technology and medicine; universities with a public health faculty; government health institutions. 330pp 978-1-78634-584-4

CLEARLY DIFFERENT

by Lisa Vozza (Italian Association for Cancer Research, Italy) & Maurizio D’Incalci (Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, Italy) Translated by: Andreas Gescher (University of Leicester, UK) This book is an excursion into the drug development process, from the initial conception in a chemical or molecular biology lab, via tests in isolated cells and animals, to the stage of clinical trials. The human body is a complex ecosystem where little is conclusively known in terms of its response to medication, for both sick and healthy individuals. The considerable degree of uncertainty inherent in health-related research can lead to approval of controversial medicines, particularly in high-stakes scenarios and medical crises. Real-life examples are drawn on here to explain the decision making processes behind the acceptance of new drugs, disproving misconceptions around medicines by delving into the history and current practice of the drug development process. 188pp 978-178-6342-97-3 978-178-6342-98-0(pbk)

TU YOUYOU AND THE DISCOVERY OF ARTEMISININ

2015 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine by Yi Rao, Daqing Zhang & Runhong Li (Peking University, China)

“The book’s value lies in showing how groups of researchers, rather than mainly unnamed individuals, overcame the problems caused by rigid, centralised control in a country disrupted by the Cultural Revolution and with few sophisticated scientific resources.” British Society for the History of Medicine This book traces the path of discovery beginning with Chairman Mao’s 1964 instruction to Chinese researchers to find a cure for malaria, a disease that plagued the military and civilians alike in endemic regions. It chronicles the years of painstaking research to find effective anti-malarial drugs, and how an entry in a collection of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions gave Tu Youyou the clue which led her to successfully extract artemisinin from the plant, Artemisia annua. 224pp 978-981-3109-88-9 978-981-3109-89-6(pbk)

NOBEL PRIZES THAT CHANGED MEDICINE

edited by Gilbert Thompson (Imperial College, London, UK) “Many see the Nobel Prize as an award for original discoveries that enhance understanding, but these essays show how much medicine can deliver for human good and with almost immediate application. What characterizes Nobel Prizes That Changed Medicine is the extraordinary percipience of those who draw from a vast electric range of observations in the foreground of practice and crystallize their scientific ideas uncontaminated by dogma.” Clinical Medicine Anyone interested in the particulars of a specific award or Laureate can obtain detailed information on the topic by accessing the Nobel Foundation’s website. In contrast, this book aims to provide a less formal and more personal view of the science and scientists involved, by having prominent academics write a chapter each about a Nobel Prize-winning discovery in their own areas of interest and expertise. 372pp 978-184-8168-25-1 978-184-8168-26-8(pbk)

TUMOR HYPOXIA

edited by Yun Zhong (Yale School of Medicine, USA) Tumors often start out as a benign growth, but gradually progress toward the malignant stage over a relatively long period of time. Tumor progression results from accumulated genetic mutations and inheritable epigenetic modifications that enable clonal evolution and selection of new clonal populations of tumor cells with aggressive characteristics including metastasis and therapy resistance. Increasing amounts of experimental evidence suggests that tumor microenvironment play a significant role in directing clonal evolution and determining clonal cell fate, which eventually leads to emergence of malignant tumor cell clones. Hypoxia is the most commonly observed feature of tumor microenvironment. Tumor hypoxia is significantly associated with malignant progression and predicts poor patient outcomes. This book provides detailed and up-to-date treaties on the role of hypoxia as a major driving force in tumor microenvironment to elicit cellular adaptation and clonal selection via genetic mutations and epigenetic modifications, to facilitate cancer stem cell maintenance, to enhance metastasis, to augment therapy resistance, and to evade immune surveillance. 320pp 978-981-3147-31-7

THE HEALING ART OF TAI CHI

by Martin Lee & Emily Lee (Tai Chi Cultural Center, Los Atlos, USA) Tai chi, like many ancient Eastern practices, does not fit strict Western categories. Tai chi, together with the extraordinary self-healing method developed by Dr Lee, offers relief for stress, breathing disorders, muscular ailments, chronic headaches, and a variety of modern office- and sports-related complaints, as well as for deep emotional distress. Few today are as well positioned to explain the healing powers of tai chi as Dr. Martin Lee, a renowned engineering physicist and tai chi master. He and his wife, Emily, also a tai chi master, are the only Americans to have studied with Yu Pen-Shih, one of China’s foremost ch’i kung masters. Dr. Lee has developed a groundbreaking practical program that combines Eastern and Western approaches to wellness, which he calls “physical philosophy.” Its goal is to help people become “one with nature,” a Buddhist term for the natural restoration of true health. 150pp 978-981-3271-88-3 978-981-3273-08-5(pbk)
