Story0
The average individual is far more likely to die in a car accident than from a communicable disease...yet we are still much more fearful of the epidemic. Even at our most level-headed, the thought of an epidemic can inspire terror. As Philip Alcabes persuasively argues in Dread, our anxieties about epidemics are created not so much by the germ or microbe in question - or the actual risks of contagion - but by the unknown, the undesirable, and the misunderstood.

Story0
Technological innovation is deeply woven into the fabric of American culture, and is no less a basic feature of American health care. Medical technology saves lives and relieves suffering, and is enormously popular with the public, profitable for doctors, and a source of great wealth for industry. Yet its costs are rising at a dangerously unsustainable rate. The control of technology costs poses a terrible ethical and policy dilemma. How can we deny people what they may need to live and flourish?

Franco e Andrea Antonello sono stati i protagonisti di una storia che sembra una favola: il romanzo che raccontava il loro viaggio on the road, "Se ti abbraccio non aver paura", ha avuto un enorme successo. In questo nuovo audiolibro, Franco e Andrea raccontano la vera storia della loro vita, iniziando dalla vita di Franco prima di Andrea: dove nasce, com'è la sua famiglia, quali strade ha percorso e quali scelte ha compiuto prima di diventare un felicissimo papà di un bambino bellissimo.

Coronarie, colesterolo, elettrocardiogramma, stent: cosa indicano questi termini? Conoscere l'infarto significa avere qualche speranza in più di evitarlo o di sopravvivergli più consapevoli, e forse più sorridenti. E trattarlo con ironia significa spogliarlo del suo alone minaccioso. Dai sintomi al primo soccorso, dai fattori di rischio ai farmaci, alla prevenzione, passando per le ansie e gli interrogativi dei familiari, le prassi delle visite di controllo: un vademecum cardiologico utile anche a sostenere lo spirito di chi sa di aver corso un pericolo.

Il mondo cambia velocemente, la tecnologia trasforma le nostre abitudini quotidiane, anche le più consolidate. La morale da un lato e le leggi dall'altro faticano a tenere il passo. Eppure, certi temi, certe questioni ci impongono una riflessione attenta, puntuale, veloce. Dacia Maraini, una delle più note e apprezzate scrittrici di oggi, dialoga in questo piccolo, densissimo e illuminante audiolibro con il giurista Claudio Volpe sulla delicata questione del "fine vita".

Wenn Metin nach Feierabend mal wieder an seine Kühlschranktür klopft, weiß er, dass an diesem Tag sehr viele Patient*innen nach ihm gerufen haben – Er ist Krankenpfleger durch und durch, und ohne diese Leidenschaft geht das in seinen Augen auch gar nicht. Denn das kaputtgesparte Gesundheitssystem, der stressige Klinikalltag und die mangelnde Wertschätzung machen seinen Job zu einer Herausforderung. Doch die Patient*innen stehen immer an erster Stelle und das Team hält zusammen.

Story1
A vibrant young Hispano woman, Shonnie Medina, inherits a breast-cancer mutation known as BRCA1.185delAG. It is a genetic variant characteristic of Jews. The Medinas knew they were descended from Native Americans and Spanish Catholics, but they did not know that they had Jewish ancestry as well. The mutation most likely sprang from Sephardic Jews hounded by the Spanish Inquisition. The discovery of the gene leads to a fascinating investigation of cultural history and modern genetics by Dr. Harry Ostrer and other experts on the DNA of Jewish populations.
