 | Future of the Public's Health in the 21st Century
The Future of the Public's Health in the 21st Century reviews the nation's public health capabilities and presents a comprehensive framework for how the government public health agencies, working with multiple partners from the public and private sectors as an intersectoral public health system, can better assure the health of communities by:
Adopting a population health approach that considers the multiple determinants of health
Strengthening the governmental public health infrastructure, the backbone of the public health system
Building a new generation of intersectoral partnerships
Requiring accountability from and among all sectors of the public health system
Making evidence the foundation of decision-making
Enhancing and facilitating communication within the public health system

From the Back Cover
The overall aim of this work is to provide a reference book which describes the general framework for conducting GCP-compliant clinical research, particularly pharmaceutical industry clinical research. Wendy Bohaychuk and Graham Ball run a consultancy, GCRP Ltd., which has conducted over 820 GCP audits involving more than 200 companies in the last 10 years. More than 5,000 individuals have been involved in their training courses to help people perform GCP-compliant clinical research. They have authored several books and articles including:
Standard operating procedures for investigators
Standard operating procedures for sponsors and CROs
GCP — an indexed reference
Drawing on their wealth of experience, they have produced this enlightening and practical reference work which fills an educational gap in the understanding of GCP at all levels. Written in concise language simple enough to be accessible to those new in the field, the dozens of real-life stories and detailed case studies at the end of each chapter make the book an invaluable resource for the more experienced, highlighting what can go wrong in a clinical study: A study of prostate cancer in the UK - An investigator brochure was not provided. The company argued that a brochure was unnecessary because the drug was already marketed. Indeed it was — for hypertension! A study of cardiovascular surgery in the UK - The consent dates were changed (by overwriting) to indicate that the patients had provided consent before the study started. The original dates post-dated the start of the study. A study of hypertension in Germany - The investigator brochure predated the study by nine years! Checklists are provided throughout the book to help monitors, auditors and investigators ensure that nothing important is overlooked. The authors present the topic of GCP with remarkable clarity, insight and enthusiasm emphasizing that this code of practice was not designed to make studies more difficult for investigators or more expensive for sponsors and CROs but, in the final analysis, to ensure the safety and well-being of study participants and future patients who will benefit from well-conducted, GCP-compliant studies.

 | Novel Vaccination strategy
From the New England Journal of Medicine, November 4, 2004
The world of vaccines traditionally has been considered to consist of a very limited number of tools for immunizing humans and animals. In recent years, however, advances in immunology and molecular genetics have permitted the development of innovative ways of inducing protective immunity. Centuries after Jenner's experiment with cowpox, vaccines have become extremely sophisticated weapons against infectious diseases. This book thoroughly reviews our understanding of the immunologic response to infectious diseases and the many recent advances in the development of vaccines. A number of experimental vaccines are discussed, and future strategies that may change the way in which infectious and other diseases will be prevented are also presented. Stefan Kaufmann, who is the founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin, has brought together a group of experts in various fields of vaccinology from Europe, the United States, and Australia for this challenging project. Immunologists, developers of vaccines, clinical-trial specialists, and molecular biologists will find this book to be of interest. It begins with an engaging presentation about the challenges involved in the development of vaccines, including the search for serologic correlates of protection and the difficulty of developing vaccines for the many pathogens that are not associated with such serologic markers. Another section illustrates in detail the immunologic response to vaccines, beginning with the body's recognition of pathogens and ending with the mechanisms of immunologic memory.
Review
"The presentations are concise, clear, well illustrated, and provide an excellent survey of the subject overall." (IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, Jan/Feb 2005)
"Dr. Kaufmann and eminent contributors, with their outstanding expertise, created an excellent resource for medical professionals and biomedical scientists." (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, December 2004)
"…a practical addition to health sciences libraries. Its usefulness is primarily for basic researchers in vaccinology." (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, December 2004)
"This book thoroughly reviews our understanding of the immunologic response to infectious diseases and the many advances in the development of vaccines." (New England Journal of Medicine, November 4, 2004)
"This would be a valuable text for those in the field with the expertise." (E-STREAMS, October 2004)
"...enjoyed reading the book immensely, found it very informative and a good mixture of basic and applied science...definitely recommended..." (Immunology News, August 2004)

 | Handbook of SOPs for Good Clinical Practice, 2nd Edition
ISBN: 0849321816
Pages: 288
Completely revised and updated, the second edition of a classic reference, Handbook of SOPs for Good Clinical Practice provides templates of SOPs ready for adaptation to your requirements and immediate use. This allows you to create new SOPs or benchmark your existing SOPs against an internationally accepted set of SOPs. The book includes a CD-ROM containing an electronic copy of each of the SOPs and forms in the handbook so that you can easily customize the text to reflect your organization's processes. The author uses language ranging from the
specific to the very general, depending on the activity described and the number of the existing regulations governing the activity. This provides you with a starting point for the development of your organization's SOPs, saving you the time and money that would normally be spent researching and documenting each of the procedures described. Modifying the SOPs supplied by this book will be a much more efficient task than developing new ones from scratch.C ontaining templates for SOPs and forms applicable to sponsors, study sites, and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs)

Hospital Medicine
His new function differs from the role of the primary care physician, who is responsible for the treatment of patients in all care settings, ranging from outpatient clinics to inpatient service. Those who fill hospital positions often serve the needs of an academic medical center or a managed-care system, and this new kind of practitioner has been dubbed the "hospitalist."

The Fourth Edition has been redesigned to enhance understanding with new illustrations, pedagogical tools, examples, and summary boxes. According to a faculty member at the University of North Carolina, "This is one of the few books truly written for students of clinical epidemiology. ..I've used it in the past and would do so in the future. The book is comprehensive and takes a practical approach to explaining important topics."
