En este libro la Dra. Georgina Chan Perdomo y su hija Melisa Perdomo Roy exploran lo que el mundo cientifico recomienda para prevenir las causas principales de muerte en el nacimiento de este milenio: Infartos Cardiacos, Infartos Cerebrales., SIDA/VIH, Cancer y Enfermedades Infecciosas. Hace 3,500 anos, se le dieron cinco libros de leyes, La Tora, a un grupo de esclavos perseguidos, para que aprendieran como sobrevivir. En estas primitivas escrituras, podemos encontrar consejos que si los seguimos, previenen o retrazan las cinco causas de muerte mas comun en el presente. Estos escogidos debian compartir esa informacion con el resto de la humanidad. Las similitudes entre las guias de Las Organizaciones Mundial de la Salud del siglo XXI y las antiguas leyes de La Tora son impresionantes. Ellas fueron dadas como Leyes, pero en realidad son una reflexion del amor del Creador por su creacion, la humanidad, para que pudieramos vivir largas vida llenos de felicidad y salud. Que mas tienen Las Escrituras Sagradas que nos pueden ayudar hoy en dia? Discutimos al final del libro el impacto que tuvieron Las Palabras de Dios no solo en nuestra vida fisica sino tambien espiritual.

This book explores how we can preserve the integrity of mental health provision in an age when community safety is dominant. Emphasising throughout the mentally disordered in the community, the book examines existing controls and services - compulsory detention, hospitals, supervised discharge, supervision registers, and so on - as well as new developments such as dual diagnosis and questions surrounding treatability.

Until recently, law relating to mental disorder and to the mentally disordered has rarely been the subject of such extensive and heated debate. This book explores and reflects upon this debate. So far the debars focus has been on the tension between public protection and individual civil rights, since much of its impetus has derived from 'notorious' homicides in the community and been directed towards calls for a 'community treatment order'. The debate encapsulated here is more comprehensive, going to the heart of the nature of mental illness and its impacts on legal capacity, juxtaposing constructs which arise out of profoundly differing disciplines.

The book concludes that the contribution of current mental health legislation is both marginal and it seeks to set an agenda for radical law reform by recognizing that asking questions may, at this stage, be more valuable than providing hasty answers. Many of the chapters deal with the recent Bournewood decision in the House of Lords.

Principles of Mental Health Law provides a comprehensive account of the law concerning mental health in England and Wales. From the historical backdrop to the current law in the area it provides detailed examination of the Mental Health Act 1983 and the changes introduced by the new Mental Health Act 2007. The regulation of care and treatment in hospital and the community is explored. The book also goes beyond the legislation to explore the legal and regulatory challenges in the area of mental health in a range of areas from confidentiality and privacy to causation and limitation. The chapters are written by leading national and international authorities in the area of mental health.

First Published in 2001. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor and Francis, an informa company.

As new medical technologies and treatments develop with increasing momentum, the legal and ethical implications of medicine are being called into question as never before. Martin Levine's collection brings together the seminal papers written on the nexus between mental illness, its treatment and its relationship to the law. The volume also provides an informative introduction, summarizing the area and the relevance of the articles chosen.

Die Anforderung im medizinischen Alltag rechtlich relevante Sachverhalte, etwa nach Gewalt im hauslichen Umfeld zu erkennen und zeitgemass richtig zu handeln ist in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen. Es sind in der Regel klinisch tatige Arzte, Angehorige der Pflegeberufe und nichtmedizinische Laien wie Polizeibeamte und Mitarbeiter von Opferschutzeinrichtungen, die als erste mit Opfern in Kontakt treten und so einen wesentlichen Anteil an der Erkennung sowie an Verlauf und Ausgang der interdisziplinaren Betreuung haben.

Die Herausgeber, klinisch-forensisch erfahrene Rechtsmediziner, legen mit diesem Buch gemeinsam mit einem interdisziplinaren Autoren-Team einen umfassenden Praxisleitfaden fur Arzte aller Fachrichtungen, Pflegeberufe sowie andere Berufsgruppen mit Kontakt zu Betroffenen vor.

Der Praxisleitfaden beleuchtet unter anderem die Themenkomplexe Gewalt gegen Kinder, Erwachsene und altere Personen, Sexualdelikte, Dokumentation und Beweismittelsicherung, Bildgebende Verfahren, Toxikologie, Selbstbeschadigung sowie zahlreiche weitere klinisch-forensisch relevante Aspekte."

In economic sectors crucial to human welfare - agriculture, education, and medicine - a small number of firms control global markets, primarily by enforcing intellectual property (IP) rights incorporated into trade agreements made in the 1980s onward. Such rights include patents on seeds and medicines, copyrights for educational texts, and trademarks in consumer products. According to conventional wisdom, these agreements likewise ended hopes for a 'New International Economic Order,' under which wealth would be redistributed from rich countries to poor. Sam F. Halabi turns this conventional wisdom on its head by demonstrating that the New International Economic Order never faded, but rather was redirected by other treaties, formed outside the nominally economic sphere, that protected poor countries' interests in education, health, and nutrition and resulted in redistribution and regulation. This illuminating work should be read by anyone seeking a nuanced view of how IP is shaping the global knowledge economy.

This book will be written by experts for professionals, scientists and all those involved in toxicological data generation and decision-making. It is the updated and expanded version of a monograph published in German in 2004. Chemical safety is regulated on various levels including production, storage, transport, handling, disposal or labelling. This book deals comprehensively with the safety-ensuring methods and concepts employed by regulatory agencies, industry and academics. Toxicologists use experimental and scientific approaches for data collection, e.g. about chemical hazards, physicochemical features or toxicokinetics. The respective experimental methods are described in the book. Toxicologists also deal with much insecurity in the exposure and effect scenarios during risk assessment. To overcome these, they have different extrapolation methods and estimation procedures at their disposal. The book describes these methods in an accessible manner. Differing concepts from one regulation area to another are also covered. Reasons and consequences become evident when reading the book. Altogether, the book Regulatory Toxicology will serve as an excellent reference."
