Sinopse

"Moral Views on Health" explores the ethical dilemmas at the heart of public health, examining how societies worldwide balance individual freedoms with the collective good. The book delves into critical issues like vaccination policies, healthcare access, and global health equity, revealing the moral principles that underpin public health decisions. It highlights the tension between individual autonomy and a government's responsibility to protect its citizens, emphasizing that effective public health policy demands an ethical framework grounded in both cultural sensitivity and universal moral principles.

 
For instance, the book considers how mandatory vaccination programs raise questions about individual rights versus community immunity, and it also explores the challenge of fairly allocating scarce medical resources during pandemics. The book argues that public health decisions cannot be based solely on scientific or economic considerations, but must also account for inherent moral dimensions.

 
It begins by introducing core ethical concepts and frameworks, then explores specific case studies relevant to public health crises. The analysis incorporates empirical studies, policy documents, and philosophical insights to provide a multifaceted examination of these complex issues.

 
Ultimately, "Moral Views on Health" aims to contribute to a more informed and ethical approach to public health policy-making by providing readers with the knowledge to critically evaluate policies and advocate for ethically sound practices.

Durante años, nos han enseñado a temer al sol, a protegernos de sus rayos y a evitar la exposición. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes están desafiando esta narrativa, revelando que la luz solar, lejos de ser un enemigo, puede ser un poderoso aliado para nuestra salud.
En este esclarecedor libro, el autor examina rigurosamente los últimos estudios científicos sobre la exposición solar y su impacto en el cuerpo humano. A lo largo de sus páginas, se desmontan mitos profundamente arraigados y se destacan los beneficios de una adecuada exposición solar para la salud inmunológica, cardiovascular y emocional. Se exploran a fondo temas clave como la producción de vitamina D, la regulación del ritmo circadiano y el papel esencial de la melatonina y la melanina en la prevención de enfermedades.
El texto profundiza en las controversias que rodean el uso de protectores solares, el aumento de los casos de osteoporosis, los efectos nocivos de la luz artificial y la relación entre la exposición al sol y ciertos tipos de cáncer, todo ello basado en estudios de alta calidad y metaanálisis recientes.
Este volumen forma parte de una serie de cinco libros dedicados a los pilares fundamentales de la salud: la luz solar, el ayuno intermitente, los hábitos tóxicos modernos, la glucosa y los biorritmos.

DSM - A History of Psychiatry's...

Allan V. Horwitz

The first comprehensive history of "psychiatry's bible"—the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. 
 
 
 
Over the past seventy years, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, has evolved from a virtually unknown and little-used pamphlet to an imposing and comprehensive compendium of mental disorder. Its nearly 300 conditions have become the touchstones for the diagnoses that patients receive, students are taught, researchers study, insurers reimburse, and drug companies promote. Although the manual is portrayed as an authoritative corpus of psychiatric knowledge, it is a product of intense political conflicts, dissension, and factionalism. The manual results from struggles among psychiatric researchers and clinicians, different mental health professions, and a variety of patient, familial, feminist, gay, and veterans' interest groups. The DSM is fundamentally a social document that both reflects and shapes the professional, economic, and cultural forces associated with its use. 
 
 
 
In DSM, Allan V. Horwitz examines how the manual, known colloquially as "psychiatry's bible," has been at the center of thinking about mental health in the United States since its original publication in 1952.
