Practical Guide to Neurovascular Emergencies

By: Guillaume Saliou,Marie Theaudin,Claire Join-Lambert Vincent,Raphaelle Souillard-Scemama

Modern vascular neurology, particularly in the emergency setting, often requires a great capacity for analysis and synthesis. Physicians who manage these patients must have acquired multidisciplinary skills, including a good knowledge of clinical neurology and medical imaging, but they may also need to be skilled in cardiology and intensive care. The initial clinical and imaging examinations play a decisive role in the management strategy. This book, written by neurologists and neuroradiologists, is designed to help all physicians involved in the management of neurovascular disease. The format and contents of this book, including the latest guidelines from learned societies, are designed to provide a succinct and practical guide. Although this book is particularly devoted to ischaemic stroke, other neurovascular diseases, especially haemorrhagic stroke, are also discussed. This book should constitute a valuable tool for everyday practice for all medical personnel involved in neurovascular disease.

The Lomidine Files

The Untold Story of a Medical Disaster in Colonial Africa

By: Guillaume Lachenal

This prize-winning study examines the nightmarish effects of the so-called “wonder drug” in preventing sleeping sickness in Africa. After the Second World War, French colonial health services set out to eradicate sleeping sickness in Africa. The newly discovered drug Lomidine (also known as Pentamidine) promised to protect against infection, and mass campaigns of “preventive lomidinization” were launched across Africa. But the drug proved to be both inefficient and dangerous. In numerous cases, it led to fatality. In The Lomidine Files, Guillaume Lachenal traces the medicine’s trajectory from experimental trials during the Second World War to its abandonment in the late 1950s. He explores colonial doctors’ dangerous obsession with an Africa freed from disease and describes the terrible reactions caused by the drug, the resulting panic of colonial authorities, and the decades-long cover-up that followed. A fascinating material history that touches on the drug’s manufacture and distribution, as well as the tragedies that followed in its path, The Lomidine Files resurrects a nearly forgotten scandal. Ultimately, it illuminates public health not only as a showcase of colonial humanism and a tool of control but also as an arena of mediocrity, powerlessness, and stupidity. Winner of the George Rosen Prize by the American Association for the History of Medicine

Bien sûr que je voulais faire du cinéma. Je n’entendais pas rester stagiaire. J’avais un plan. J’allais inopinément apparaître dans la nudité de mon être exceptionnel. J’allais me faire repérer. Ainsi, quand la cinéaste arriverait, je me lèverais, elle tournerait la tête vers moi, marquerait un temps d’arrêt (stupeur oblige), je ferais semblant de ne rien noter, exagérant mon naturel, elle me regarderait comme on contemple un phénomène, m’imaginerait instantanément dans son cadre et, sans plus de détour, me proposerait un rôle.
