Now in its fourth edition, Fraud and Misconduct in Biomedical
Research boasts an impressive list of contributors from around the
globe and introduces a new focus for the book, transforming it from
a series of monographs into a publication that will quickly become
an essential textbook on all areas of research fraud and
misconduct. Key features include: a comprehensive analysis of the
historical aspects of research misconduct, with cases from across
the world; an extended section on the detection of research
misconduct, examining the roles of the peer review process,
statistical analysis, and routine enhanced audit; a completely new
section, 'The Way Forward', which looks at the role of national
advisory bodies. Fraud and Misconduct in Biomedical Research
strives to uncover the issues surrounding clinical research in
order to raise awareness of unethical practice, open debate and
express concerns. This book is internationally relevant; from
anyone who is involved with biomedical research or has an interest
in fraud and misconduct, to the recipients and beneficiaries of
research, who are directly affected by unreliable research.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) created many of the most beautiful
and important drawings in the history of Western art. Many of these
were anatomical and became the yardstick for the early study of the
human body. From their unique perspectives as artist and scientist,
brothers Stephen and Michael Farthing analyse Leonardo's drawings -
which are concerned chiefly with the skeletal, cardiovascular,
muscular and nervous systems - and discuss the impact they had on
both art and medical understanding. Stephen Farthing has created a
series of drawings in response to Leonardo, which are reproduced
with commentary by Michael, who also provides a useful glossary of
medical terminology. Together, they reveal how some of Leonardo's
leaps of understanding were nothing short of revolutionary and,
despite some misunderstandings, the accuracy of Leonardo's grasp.
