Medicinsk-juridiske emner

De fleste genkender nok ordene coroner og retsmediciner fra Hollywood-film, TV-serier og krimier. Men hvad indebærer denne titel egentlig – og hvor går grænsen mellem fakta og fiktion? Hvornår bliver underholdning vægtet højere end sandhed? I Liv og Død svarer en af verdens førende retsmedicinere og professor emeritus Jørgen Lange Thomsen på disse spørgsmål ved at genfortælle nogle af de mest interessante og grusomme sager fra sin mangeårige karriere. Der er hverken mangel på underholdning eller sandhed, når han beretter om en dag i en retsmediciners liv. Men det er ikke en bog for sarte sjæle, for en retsmediciner ser alt.

Gennem 30 år har Hans Petter Hougen beskæftiget sig med levende og døde inden for retsmedicinen. I denne bog fortæller han om et liv, der har ført ham fra fødelandet Norge via Spanien til Danmark. Han tager os også med til USA, hvor han uddannede sig til retsmediciner og fik set sin del af skudofre og narkorelaterede dødsfald. Gennem sin karriere har han udført eller superviseret tusindvis af obduktioner i Danmark og i mange andre dele af verden, bl.a. et krigshærget Balkan i 1999, et tsunami-ramt Thailand i 2004 og et smadret Gaza i 2014, som er noget af det værste, retsmedicineren har oplevet. I bogen reflekterer Hans Petter Hougen over livets skyggesider, som har udgjort så stor en del af hans arbejdsliv. Han fortæller om mange af de sager, der har gjort indtryk på ham undervejs. Fra den menneskelige ondskab, som folder sig ud i krige og kriminalsager, til naturkatastrofer og trafikulykker, som brat kan smadre familiers liv. Hvordan vænner man sig til det, og bliver det aldrig for meget?

Dødens årsag er en kulturhistorisk fortælling om, hvordan danskerne gennem tiden har slået hinanden ihjel. Ved hjælp af dokumenter fra obduktioner og ligsyn bringes vi tæt på historier om aftægtsdrab, giftmord og vold. De afslører en fascinerende opfindsomhed, når det gælder om at slå ihjel, men giver os også et indblik i helt almindelige danskeres liv og daglige udfordringer.De første sager er fra begyndelsen af 1600-tallet, hvor man begynder at foretage obduktioner i forbindelse med retssager. De sidste er fra starten af 1900-tallet, hvor retsmedicinske institutter og indførelsen af statsobducenter samlede og professionaliserede retsmedicinen i Danmark. I løbet af de omkring 300 år gennemgår det danske samfund nogle dramatiske forandringer, og det samme gør retsmedicinen. Dødens årsag er 300 års true crime samlet i én fortælling. 

Som retsmediciner har Hans Petter Hougen set lidt af hvert, både når det gælder naturlige og mindre naturlige måder at komme af dage på. I denne bog gennemgår han drabsmetoder og kommer med eksempler fra blandt andet sit arbejde på Retsmedicinsk Institut i København og fra sin oplæring i Miami, USA.Hans Petter Hougen tager os også med ud til findesteds- og gerningsstedsundersøgelser og svarer på spørgsmål som: Hvordan finder retsmedicineren frem til en dødsårsag? Hvordan kan retsmedicinerens konklusioner hjælpe politiets efterforskning? Kan et drab kamufleres som ulykke eller naturlige årsager, og hvordan afslører retsmedicineren det?Hans Petter Hougen, f. 1949 i Oslo. Cand.med. 1978 og dr.med. 1991. Speciallæge i patologi 1991, specialistuddannelse i retsmedicin i Miami, Florida, og København, speciallæge i retsmedicin 2008. Professor i retsmedicin, KU, 2005-2018. Medlem af den danske ID-gruppe under Rigspolitiet (2005-2016), Gerningsmandsprofileringsgruppen under Rigspolitiet (1995-2005), Amnesty Internationals lægegruppe (1985-1998) og af ICRC’s Advisory board on Forensic Medicine (2004-2014). Sagkyndig i Retslægerådet 2005-2018. Har deltaget i udlandsopdrag for FN, OAS, Rigspolitiet, Amnesty International og flere andre internationale NGO’er

To erfarne retsmedicinere tager os med på arbejde verden rundt i forbindelse med naturkatastrofer, krig, terror og tortur. Bogen er en ærlig, åbenhjertig og nogle gange rystende brevveksling gennem knap tre årtier. Hougen og Rogde bruger hinanden som både faglige sparringspartnere og som en trøstende skulder, når der er brug for det. Sammen og hver for sig har de oplevet vold og katastrofer af dimensioner, som i flere tilfælde overgår fantasien.I bogen kommer vi tæt på terrorangrebet i 2011 på Oslo og Utøya, tsunamien i Thailand i 2004, branden på Scandinavian Star i 1990 samt krigshandlingerne på Balkan i 1990?erne og i Gaza i dag - og til mange andre steder verden over, hvor et menneskeliv ikke er meget værd.

What really happened behind the scenes at the Trump White House during the COVID pandemic?When Dr. Scott W. Atlas was tapped by Donald Trump to join his COVID Task Force, he was immediately thrust into a maelstrom of scientific disputes, policy debates, raging egos, politically motivated lies, and cynical media manipulation. Numerous myths and distortions surround the Trump Administration’s handling of the crisis, and many pressing questions remain unanswered. Did the Trump team really bungle the response to the pandemic? Were the right decisions made about travel restrictions, lockdowns, and mask mandates? Are Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx competent medical experts or timeserving bureaucrats? Did half a million people really die unnecessarily because of Trump’s incompetence?

In this unfiltered insider account, Dr. Scott Atlas brings us directly into the White House, describes the key players in the crisis, and assigns credit and blame where it is deserved. The book includes shocking evaluations of the Task Force members’ limited knowledge and grasp of the science of COVID and details heated discussions with Task Force members, including all of the most controversial episodes that dominated headlines for weeks. Dr. Atlas tells the truth about the science and documents the media’s relentless campaign to suffocate it, which included canceled interviews, journalists’ off-camera hostility in White House briefings, and intentional distortion of facts. He also provides an inside account of the delays and timelines involving vaccines and other treatments, evaluates the impact of the lockdowns on American public health, and indicts the relentless war on truth waged by Big Business and Big Tech. No other book contains these revelations. Millions of people who trust Dr. Atlas will want to read this dramatic account of what really went on behind the scenes in the White House during the greatest public health crisis of the 21st century.

The inside story of how Big Pharma's relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge?misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health.The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries?yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.In this no-holds-barred exposé, Dr. John Abramson?one of the foremost experts on the drug industry's deceptive tactics?combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation to reveal the tangled web of financial interests at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. For example, one of pharma's best-kept secrets is that the peer reviewers charged with ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the clinical trial reports published in medical journals do not even have access to complete data and must rely on manufacturer-influenced summaries. Likewise for the experts who write the clinical practice guidelines that define our standards of care.The result of years of research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical-industrial complex, Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care?and presents a path toward genuine reform.

Welcome to the world of hacking and cyber threatsWith the widespread adoption of the internet, the digital world has become an integral part of our lives. Activities such as online banking, shopping, social media, and education are all available at our fingertips. However, along with these conveniences, concerns about cybersecurity have also increased.When we hear the word "hacking," we often picture criminals wearing black hoodies and masks, typing furiously on computers. But the world of hacking is much more diverse and complex than that.What is hacking?Hacking is the act of gaining unauthorized access to a computer system or network. Hackers can use this access to steal data, install malware, or disrupt operations.

An urgent call to action on a rising--and preventable--trend.Each year in the United States alone, nearly 50,000 individuals die by suicide; more than 1.2 million others attempt it. John Bateson, former executive director of a suicide prevention center, examines this national tragedy from multiple angles while debunking common myths, sharing demographic data, and identifying risk factors and warning signs. This book provides essential information about the current landscape surrounding suicide in the United States as well as strategies to prevent further tragedy.Bateson emphasizes that the rise in suicide and attempted suicide is not only a mental health issue affecting individuals but also an urgent problem for society at large. He discusses suicide in parks, prisons, and the military, as well as assisted suicide, suicide by cop, and murder-suicide. In particular, he details the stark relationship among guns, drugs, jump sites, and suicide, focusing on one of the most effective ways to prevent suicide--restricting access to lethal means. In addition to presenting practical information for identifying people at risk of suicide, Bateson details important steps that individuals, businesses, and the government can take to end this public health problem.

Deaths from preventable diseases have decreased life expectancy in the United States for the first time in a century, making it clear that we must deal with the crisis by embracing prevention as our nation's top health sector priority.In Prevention First, Dr. Anand K. Parekh, chief medical advisor of the Bipartisan Policy Center, argues that disease prevention must be our nation's top health policy priority. Building a personal culture of prevention, he writes, is not enough; elected officials and policymakers must play a greater role in reducing preventable deaths. This second edition includes important new developments in health policy, including US responses to and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and the addition of learning objectives and key takeaways in each chapter to aid students and faculty.Drawing on his experiences as a clinician, public servant, and policy advisor, Dr. Parekh provides examples of prevention in action from across the country, giving readers a view into why prevention-first policies are important and how they can be accomplished. Throughout the book, he demonstrates that, in order to optimize health in America, we must leverage health insurance programs to promote disease prevention, expand primary care, attend to the social determinants of health, support making the healthier choice the easy choice for individuals, and increase public health investments.Providing concrete steps that federal policymakers should take to promote prevention both within and outside our healthcare sector, Prevention First not only sounds the alarm about the terrible consequences of preventable disease but serves as a rallying cry that we can and must do better in this country to reduce preventable deaths.

How a coalition of Black health professions schools made health equity a national issue.Racism in the US health care system has been deliberately undermining Black health care professionals and exacerbating health disparities among Black Americans for centuries. These health disparities only became a mainstream issue on the agenda of US health leaders and policy makers because a group of health professions schools at Historically Black Colleges and Universities banded together to fight for health equity. We'll Fight It Out Here tells the story of how the Association of Minority Health Professions Schools (AMHPS) was founded by this coalition and the hard-won influence it built in American politics and health care. David Chanoff and Louis W. Sullivan, former secretary of health & human services, detail how the struggle for equity has been fought in the field of health care, where bias and disparities continue to be volatile national issues. Chanoff and Sullivan outline the history of Black health care, from pre-Emancipation to today, centering on the work of AMHPS, which brought to light health care inequities in 1983 and precipitated virtually all minority health care legislation since then. Based on extensive research in the literature, as well as more than seventy interviews with the people central to this fight for legislative and policy change, We'll Fight It Out Here is the important story of a vital coalition movement, virtually unknown until now, that changed the national understanding of health inequities.The work of this coalition of Black health schools continues, both in supporting the training of more doctors and health professionals from minority backgrounds and in advancing issues related to health equity. By highlighting these endeavors, We'll Fight It Out Here brings attention to a pivotal group in the history of the health equity movement and provides a road map of practical mechanisms that can be used to advance it.

In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, the importance of ethical leadership cannot be overstated. Ethical leadership is not just a buzzword; it is the backbone of every successful organization. It sets the tone for the entire business and shapes its culture, values, and decision-making processes. In the book "The Power of Ethical Leadership: Empowering Change in Business," we delve into the significance of ethical leadership and how it can transform businesses and society as a whole.For EVERY ONE, from aspiring entrepreneurs to seasoned executives, understanding the importance of ethical leadership is crucial. In the realm of Business Ethics, ethical leadership serves as a guiding light, ensuring that organizations operate with integrity, transparency, and respect for all stakeholders. It goes beyond mere compliance with laws and regulations; it is about doing what is morally right, even when no one is watching.Ethical leaders lead by example. They possess a strong moral compass and consistently act in alignment with their values. By embodying ethical behavior, they inspire trust, foster a positive work environment, and cultivate a sense of purpose among their teams. Employees are more likely to be engaged and motivated when they feel that their leaders genuinely care about their well-being and are committed to doing business in an ethical manner.Moreover, ethical leadership enhances the reputation and credibility of organizations. In today's age of social media and instant communication, news of unethical practices can spread like wildfire, damaging a company's image and bottom line. On the contrary, organizations led by ethical leaders are seen as trustworthy, reliable, and socially responsible, attracting loyal customers and partnerships that are built on mutual respect.Ethical leadership also plays a pivotal role in driving innovation and long-term sustainability. By encouraging open and honest communication, ethical leaders create an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, leading to creative problem-solving and innovative solutions. Furthermore, ethical leaders prioritize the long-term well-being of their organizations and society over short-term gains, making decisions that consider the ecological, social, and economic impacts.

In today's digital age, technology plays a vital role in almost every aspect of our lives. From communication and education to healthcare and entertainment, technology has revolutionized the way we live and work. However, just like any other tool, it can be used for both positive and negative purposes. This is where the importance of technology ethics comes into play.Technology ethics refers to the moral principles and guidelines that govern the use of technology. It involves understanding the impact of technology on individuals, society, and the environment, and making responsible choices that align with ethical values. As students and future coders, it is crucial to grasp the significance of technology ethics and integrate it into our work and decision-making processes.One of the primary reasons why technology ethics is essential is because it helps protect individuals' privacy and security. In today's interconnected world, the collection and use of personal data have become widespread. Ethical considerations ensure that individuals' information is handled with care, and their privacy is respected. By adhering to ethical practices, we can prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other cybercrimes that compromise people's sensitive information.Furthermore, technology ethics helps promote fairness and equality. As the digital divide widens, it is crucial to ensure that everyone has equal access to technology and its benefits. Ethical considerations help prevent discrimination and bias in the development and deployment of technology. By designing inclusive and accessible technologies, we can bridge the gap between different socio-economic backgrounds and create a more equitable society.Additionally, technology ethics encourages sustainability and environmental responsibility. The production and disposal of technology have significant environmental impacts. Ethical practices prioritize the use of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient designs, and responsible e-waste management. By considering the environmental consequences of our technological choices, we can minimize our carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.Moreover, technology ethics fosters transparency and accountability. As creators and users of technology, it is important to understand the potential consequences of our actions. Ethical considerations help us take responsibility for the outcomes of our technological advancements. By being transparent about the intentions and potential risks associated with technology, we can build trust among users and ensure that our innovations serve the greater good.

Understanding the Basics of HackingIn today's digital age, it is crucial for students to be aware of the basics of hacking. Hacking, often portrayed in movies and media as a mysterious and illegal activity, is actually a broad term that encompasses various techniques used to gain unauthorized access to computer systems. While hacking can be used for both good and malicious purposes, it is important for students to understand the fundamentals to protect themselves and their digital assets.Firstly, it is essential to grasp the motivations behind hacking. Cyber criminals use technology to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems to gain unauthorized access or steal sensitive information. Their motives can vary, ranging from financial gain, personal vendettas, or even political agendas. By understanding the motives behind hacking, students can better comprehend the potential threats they may face and take appropriate precautions to safeguard their devices and data.One of the most significant aspects of hacking is understanding common attack vectors. Cyber criminals exploit various techniques, such as phishing, social engineering, malware, and brute force attacks, to compromise computer systems. Phishing involves tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information through seemingly legitimate emails or websites. Social engineering exploits psychological and behavioral patterns to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential data. Malware, including viruses, worms, and Trojan horses, are malicious software programs that infect computers and allow hackers to gain unauthorized access. Brute force attacks involve repeatedly guessing passwords until the correct one is found.Students must also be aware of the importance of strong passwords and regularly updating them. Weak passwords are easily cracked by hackers using brute force techniques. By creating unique, complex, and lengthy passwords, students can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to their accounts. Additionally, using multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification, such as a fingerprint or a generated code.Another crucial aspect of understanding hacking is the concept of ethical hacking or penetration testing. Ethical hackers, also known as white hat hackers, use their skills to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems and help organizations strengthen their security. By learning about ethical hacking, students can gain valuable insights into the mindset and techniques of hackers while also exploring potential career paths in cybersecurity.

Introducing ethically controversial (bio)technologies into the public healthcare system inevitably provokes societal and legal conflict. While it is often argued that these choices ought to comply with moral standards, the consideration of ethical and religious concerns raises a serious problem of legitimacy. By adopting the position that the state must act in an ethically neutral manner this book provides a critical legal analysis of the relationship between ethics and law and its implications for the public healthcare system. The ensuing examination combines a comparative, legal-constitutional perspective with the investigation of two case studies: preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

The authors examined trends in the use of virtual behavioral health (VBH) care for U.S. Army soldiers and their spouses from prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic through March 2022 and surveyed soldiers about their perceptions of VBH care.

Christian and other nurses in the hostile modern and increasingly secular age may feel helpless in an environment that created the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) and continues to foster end of life 'care' through sedation and dehydration. The book aims to enlighten both health professionals and the public alike to their rights of conscience and knowledge of the needs of vulnerable patients whether related to ethical care or guidance and the law which can affect them. Indifference to patients'needs and suffering may be injurious to nurses' health all of whom have a conscience. This must be respected, protected and used as a guide to truly care for the patient's benefit, reqardless of laws and professional pathways which may prove harmful to many vunerable patients. The questioning nurse on ethical issues and dilemmas needs consideration, respect and support when attempting to act as the patient advocate. Managers at all levels need to be aware of the concerns of front line nurses and to be mindful that recruitment and retention are both equally important factors for the quality of patient care and nurse morale and work satisfaction. The NHS was a wonderful creation which is only as good as its staff at all levels. Its managers and government ministers must remember that the more authority invested in them, the more the accountability and transparency expected by both health professionals, their patients and the public.

Pediatric subspecialists are critical to ensuring quality care and pursuing research to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for children. However, there are substantial disincentives to pursuing a career as a pediatric subspecialist, which are often heightened for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine, and more effective collaboration with primary care clinicians is needed. Changing health care needs, increasing care complexity, and access barriers to pediatric subspecialty care have raised concerns about the current and future availability of pediatric subspecialty care and research. In response, the National Academies, with support from a coalition of sponsors, formed the Committee on the Pediatric Subspecialty Workforce and Its Impact on Child Health and Well-Being to recommend strategies and actions to ensure an adequate pediatric subspecialty physician workforce to support broad access to high quality subspecialty care and a robust research portfolio to advance the health and health care of infants, children, and adolescents. This report outlines recommendations that, if fully implemented, can improve the quality of pediatric medical subspecialty care through a well-supported, superbly trained, and appropriately used primary care, subspecialty, and physician-scientist workforce.
