Review The Progress of Experiment: Science and Therapeutic Reform in the United States, 1900-1990 (Cambridge Studies in the History of Medicine) / Cambridge University Press:This book explores the origins of our contemporary system of drug regulation and the modern clinical trial. Marks illustrates the symbiotic relationship between the history of modern drug regulation and the history of therapeutic reform. Accompanying this history of public policy is a detailed account of changing experimental ideals and practices. Marks traces the history of therapeutic experimentation, from the "collective investigations" of the past century to the controlled clinical trial that emerged after 1950 as the paradigm of scientific experimentation. The result is the first general history of clinical research in the United States, a book that examines therapeutic experiments in a wide range of diseases, from syphilis and pneumonia to heart disease and diabetes. How do we evaluate the safety and benefit of new drugs? What tasks do we hold government responsible for and which ones do we leave to the medical profession? This book explores the origins of our contemporary system of drug regulation and of the modern clinical trial. Harry Marks looks at the science and politics of drug evaluation, tracing the history of therapeutic experimentation from the "collective investigations" of the last century to the modern-day controlled clinical trial, while exploring the influence of academic ideal on governmental drug regulation.

Review Oxford Handbook of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation (Oxford Handbooks Series) / Oxford University Press, USA:Modern medicine is highly complex and investigations are a key part of the diagnostic process. With major advances in technology there are thousands of clinical and laboratory tests available. This book provides a patient-oriented approach to investigation (first part of book) where key symptoms and signs are described along with tests that may be of value in reaching a diagnosis. The remainder of the book is specialty-centred and provides a comprehensive review of all available tests within a given subject. The book emphasises which tests are of value, when tests are not likely to be helpful, along with pitfalls in the interpretation of results. The aim is of the book is to provide a more rational method of investigation and prevent over-investigation which is expensive for the hospital and unpleasant for the patient. The contributors are all active clinicians who are engaged in medical practice, so appreciate the problems faced by junior doctors. The book should also be of value to senior medical students who will be facing finals examinations, and who will soon be on the wards and responsible for ordering tests on their patients.
