With chronic disorders among American children reaching epidemic levels, hundreds of thousands of parents are desperately seeking solutions to their children's declining health, often with little medical guidance from the experts. What's Making Our Children Sick? convincingly explains how agrochemical industrial production and genetic modification of foods is a culprit in this epidemic.

Technological advances have done little to help the worrying trend of out-of-control costs and physician shortages. But there is a solution that could help millions of Americans get more affordable, convenient access to care: telehealth. Telehealth is a solution that helps combat these trends, but it has not yet lived up to its expectations. Many of the current products in the market are ineffective, because brokers, insurance companies, and major telehealth companies are more concerned with their own profits than with providing real solutions.

While modern medicine produces miracles, it also delivers care that is too often unsafe, unreliable, unsatisfying, and impossibly expensive. For the past few decades, technology has been touted as the cure for all of healthcare's ills. But medicine stubbornly resisted computerization - until now. Over the past five years, thanks largely to billions of dollars in federal incentives, health care has finally gone digital.

Ett långt och lyckligt liv är vad så gott som alla önskar sig. Vi gör vad vi kan för att leva så länge som möjligt. Säkerligen borde det väl evolutionärt sett vara bättre om vi levde längre än vad vi gör, så att vi kan få större spridning på våra gener? Trots detta har evolutionen byggt in ett bäst-före datum hos människan. Därmed ställs vi inför den eviga frågorna: hur hanterar vi att livet har ett slut? I denna bok undersöker författaren Johan Frostegård hur livet kan förlängas utifrån de senaste upptäckterna inom vetenskapen.

"Desde el comienzo de la pandemia en México, me indignaron las declaraciones del subsecretario de Salud, Hugo López-Gatell: su insistencia en que la enfermedad no era más grave que la influenza, el exceso de confianza en que todo estaba previsto y el espectáculo teatral de sus apariciones públicas. Hoy, López-Gatell reporta a diario las consecuencias de sus decisiones: más de 134 mil mexicanos han muerto y la pandemia no está cerca de concluir."

Nach einer Rückblende über Hintergründe zur Entstehung der Coronakrise ab ihrem Ursprung im chinesischen Wuhan, verfolgt der Autor die internationale Ausbreitung und die Veränderungen in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Er warnt vor einer zweiten oder dritten Welle der Corona-Pandemie, die zum brisanten Bumerang werden könne. Der Umgang mit Corona sei zum großen Charaktertest für die Gesellschaft geworden, der ihre Solidarität, ihre Rücksichtnahme und ihr Wertesystem auf den Prüfstand stellt.

In der Medizin sagt man, die Therapie darf nicht schädlicher sein als die Krankheit. Überträgt man dies auf die weltweiten Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Coronavirus, müsste man wohl von einem der größten Kunstfehler der Geschichte sprechen. Die indirekten Kollateralschäden der Therapie stehen in keinem Verhältnis zu den Schäden durch das Virus selbst. Der Journalist und Bestsellerautor Jens Berger zeigt anhand zahlreicher nationaler und internationaler Beispiele, welche Schäden die Corona-Politik verursacht hat und immer noch verursacht.

Unser Gesundheitssystem steht unter hohem Veränderungsdruck: Wir leben aufgrund bahnbrechender medizinischer Fortschritte immer länger, jedoch führt unser zunehmend ungesunder Lebensstil dazu, dass wir immer häufiger an chronischen Krankheiten leiden. Dies treibt die Kosten im Gesundheitswesen in die Höhe und bringt unser erfolgreiches System ins Wanken. Die Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen zu forcieren, ist ein möglicher Weg, den Kostensteigerungen zu begegnen und gleichzeitig Kranke besser zu versorgen.

Appell für eine wirklich patientenorientierte Medizin! Krankenhäuser und Praxen haben sich in den letzten Jahren mehr und mehr zu Wirtschaftsunternehmen entwickelt - zum Nachteil der Patienten und des Personals. Das System ist strikt auf Gewinn ausgerichtet, gleichzeitig ist eine enorme Verschwendung an menschlichen und materiellen Ressourcen zu beobachten. Überversorgung und Mangel sind die beiden Seiten einer Medaille. Die Corona-Pandemie hat es wie unter einem Brennglas gezeigt: Einerseits sind wir enorm leistungsfähig, andererseits schlecht organisiert und unterfinanziert.

Die Geschichte eines politischen Ausnahmezustands. Eine Pandemie erschüttert die Welt. Von Anfang an verfolgten die Investigativjournalisten Katja Gloger und Georg Mascolo, wie ein Virus namens Sars-CoV-2 das Leben, wie wir es kannten, auf dramatische Weise veränderte. Sie erlangten exklusiven Zugang hinter die Kulissen der Politik, die trotz früher Warnungen so gut wie unvorbereitet getroffen wurde. Ihr Hörbuch deckt bisher unbeschriebene Zusammenhänge auf, anhand von Augenzeugenberichten und vertraulichen Dokumenten schildert es die Entscheidungen, Unsicher­heiten und Zweifel.

A very wise physician has said that "every illness has two parts - what it is, and what the patient thinks about it." What the patient thinks about it is often more important and more troublesome than the real disease. What the patient thinks of life, what life means to him is also of great importance and may be the bar that shuts out all real health and happiness. The following pages are devoted to certain ideals of life which I would like to give to my patients, the long-time patients who have especially fallen to my lot.

Science doesn't speak for itself. Neck-deep in work that can be messy and confounding and naïve in the ways of public communication, scientists are often unable to package their insights into the neat narratives that the public requires. Enter celebrities, advocates, lobbyists, and the funders behind them, who take advantage of scientists' reluctance to provide easy answers, flooding the media with misleading or incorrect claims about health risks. In Bad Advice, Paul A. Offit shares hard-earned wisdom on the dos and don'ts of battling misinformation.

Between its founding in 1966 and its formal end in 1980, the Black Panther Party blazed a distinctive trail in American political culture. Here Alondra Nelson deftly recovers an indispensable but lesser-known aspect of the organization's broader struggle for social justice: health care. The Black Panther Party's health activism was an expression of its founding political philosophy and also a recognition that poor Blacks were both underserved by mainstream medicine and overexposed to its harms.
