Between Bench and Bedside: Science, Healing, and Interleukin-2 in a Cancer Ward

It was expensive, labor-intensive, and toxic--but, they said, it worked. How it worked is the story Ilana LOwy tells in Between Bench and Bedside, a compelling account of the clinical trials of interleukin-2 at a major French cancer hospital. Her book offers a remarkable insider's view of the culture of clinical experimentation in oncology--and of how this culture affects the development of new treatments for cancer. LOwy, a historian of science who trained as an immunologist, makes the life of the laboratory and the... In 1985 the media announced a new therapy for cancer.

A Woman's Disease: The History of Cervical Cancer
ISBN: 9780199548811 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cervical cancer is an emotive disease with multiple connotations. It has stood for the horror of cancer, the curse of femininity, the hope of cutting-edge medical technologies and the promise of screening for malignant tumours. For a long time, this disease was identified with the most dreaded aspects of malignancies: prolonged invalidity and chronic pain, but also physical degradation, shame and social isolation. Cervical cancer displayed in parallel the dangers of being a woman. In the 20th century, innovations initially developed to control cervical cancer - radiotherapy and radium...

The Polish School of Philosophy of Medicine: From Tytus Chalubinski (1820-1889) to Ludwik Fleck (1896-1961)
ISBN: 9780792309581 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. My 'discovery' of the Polish School of philosophy of medicine stemmed from my studies in the genesis of Ludwik Fleck's epistemology. These studies, and my interest in the scientific roots of Fleck's epistemology were a nearly 'natural' result of my own biography: like Fleck I had been trained, an had worked as an immunologist, and had later switched to studies in the social history of medicine and biology. Moreover, it so happened that Fleck's book, Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact -the description of a science as it is, not as it should be -was the first epistemological study in...

Heredity and Infection: The History of Disease Transmission
ISBN: 9781138867918 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ideas about the transmission of disease have long formed the core of modern biology and medicine. Heredity and Infection examines their development over the last century. Two scientific revolutions - the bacteriological revolution of the 1890s and the genetic revolution at the start of the twentieth century - acted as the catalysts of major change in our understanding of the causes of illness. As well as being great scientific achievements, these were social and political watersheds that reconfigured the medical and administrative means of intervention. By establishing a clear distinction...
