Giving Blood - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Giving Blood - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Giving Blood represents a new agenda for blood donation research. It explores the diverse historical and contemporary undercurrents that influence how blood donation takes place, and the social meanings that people attribute to the act of giving blood. Drawing from empirical studies conducted in the United States, Canada, France, Australia, China, India, Latin America and Africa, the book’s chapters turn our attention to the evolution of blood donation worldwide, examining: - - the impact of technology advances on blood collection practices - the shifting approaches to donor recruitment and retention - the governance and policy issues associated with the establishment of blood clinics - the political and legal challenges of regulating blood systems. - This innovative examination moves the focus from individual explanations of rates of blood donation to a social, structural explanation. It will appeal to international scholars and students working in the areas of sociology, medical anthropology, health care, public policy, socio-legal studies, comparative politics, organizational management, health and illness, the history of medicine, and public health ethics.

Blood Feuds - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Blood Feuds - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In the mid-1980s public health officials in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia discovered that almost half of the haemophiliac population, as well as tens of thousands of blood transfusion recipients, had been infected with HIV-tainted blood. This book provides a comparative perspective on the political, legal, and social struggles that emerged in response to the HIV contamination of the blood supply of the industrialized world. It describes how eight nations responded to the first signs that AIDS might be transmitted through blood, how early efforts to secure the blood supply faltered, and what measures were ultimately implemented to resolve the contamination. The authors detail the remarkable mobilization of haemophiliacs who challenged the state, the medical establishment, and their own caregivers to seek recompense and justice. In the end, the blood establishments in almost all the advanced industrial nations were shaken. In Canada, the Red Cross was forced to withdraw from blood collection and distribution. In Japan, pharmaceutical firms that manufactured clotting factor agreed to massive compensation -- $500,000 per haemophiliac infected. In France, blood officials went to prison. Even in Denmark, where the number of infected haemophiliacs was relatively small, the struggle and litigation surrounding blood has resulted in the most protracted legal and administrative conflict in modern Danish history. Blood Feuds brings together chapters on the experiences of the United States, Japan, France, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Italy, and Australia with four comparative essays that shed light on the cultural, institutional, and economic dimensions of the HIV/blood disaster.

Blood Lines - Lawrence Schimel - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

Frightening, heart-stopping, and often shocking... Blood Lines New Englanders have a sense of lineage unmatched in any other region of America. This fondness for ancestry is akin to the longevity of the vampire, whose life (or unlife) is extended by draining the lives and blood of others. The stories in Blood Lines explore the ancient mysteries of vampirism, along with the rich literary tradition begun with Lord Byron and with Bram Stoker''s Dracula , first published in 1897 long after New England''s aristocratic bloodlines were established. The stories—all set in New England—are written by master storytellers.

HIV and the Blood Supply - Committee To Study Hiv Transmission Through Blood And Blood Products - Bog - National Academies Press - Plusbog.dk

HIV and the Blood Supply - Committee To Study Hiv Transmission Through Blood And Blood Products - Bog - National Academies Press - Plusbog.dk

During the early years of the AIDS epidemic, thousands of Americans became infected with HIV through the nation's blood supply. Because little reliable information existed at the time AIDS first began showing up in hemophiliacs and in others who had received transfusions, experts disagreed about whether blood and blood products could transmit the disease. During this period of great uncertainty, decision-making regarding the blood supply became increasingly difficult and fraught with risk. This volume provides a balanced inquiry into the blood safety controversy, which involves private sexual practices, personal tragedy for the victims of HIV/AIDS, and public confidence in America's blood services system. The book focuses on critical decisions as information about the danger to the blood supply emerged. The committee draws conclusions about what was done—and recommends what should be done to produce better outcomes in the face of future threats to blood safety. The committee frames its analysis around four critical area:Product treatment—Could effective methods for inactivating HIV in blood have been introduced sooner?Donor screening and referral—including a review of screening to exlude high-risk individuals. Regulations and recall of contaminated blood—analyzing decisions by federal agencies and the private sector. Risk communication—examining whether infections could have been averted by better communication of the risks.
