Setting Limits Fairly: Can We Learn to Share Medical Resources?
ISBN: 9780195149364 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The central idea for this book is that we lack consensus on principles for allocating resources and in the absence of such a consensus we must rely on a fair decision-making process for setting limits on health care. The authors characterize key elements of this process in a variety of health care contexts where such decisions are made- decisions about insurance coverage for new technologies, pharmacy benefit management, the design of physician incentives, contracting for mental health care by public agencies, etc.- and they connect the problem in the U.S. with the same problem in other...

Stroke Genetics
ISBN: 9780198515869 / Angielski / Twarda / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It can be directly linked to the majority of adult neurological disability as well as contributing to vascular dementia, the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer's Disease. Despite its importance on a population basis, research into the genetics of stroke has lagged behind...
