This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failure to adequately control any microbial challenge associated within process or product by robust sterilisation will result in a contaminated marketed product, with potential harm to the patient. Sterilisation is therefore of great importance to healthcare and the manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Sterility, sterilisation and sterility assurance for pharmaceuticals examines different means of rendering a product sterile by providing an overview of sterilisation methods including heat, radiation and filtration. The book outlines and discusses sterilisation technology and the biopharmaceutical manufacturing process, including aseptic filling, as well as aspects of the design of containers and packaging, as well as addressing the cleanroom environments in which products are prepared. Consisting of 18 chapters, the book comprehensively covers sterility, sterilisation and microorganisms; pyrogenicity and bacterial endotoxins; regulatory requirements and good manufacturing practices; and gamma radiation. Later chapters discuss e-beam; dry heat sterilisation; steam sterilisation; sterilisation by gas; vapour sterilisation; and sterile filtration, before final chapters analyse depyrogenation; cleanrooms; aseptic processing; media simulation; biological indicators; sterility testing; auditing; and new sterilisation techniques. - Covers the main sterilisation methods of physical removal, physical alteration and inactivation - Includes discussion of medical devices, aseptically filled products and terminally sterilised products - Describes bacterial, pyrogenic, and endotoxin risks to devices and products

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the relatively new social and medical phenomenon of women in the developed countries of the world choosing to remain childfree and electing for sterilization rather than continuing with other forms of contraception. Twenty-three voluntarily childfree, sterilized women, aged 22 to 51 years, tell their stories, revealing the struggles they faced in being women without children in a society which expects women to be mothers. They describe the many barriers encountered on the way to being sterilized, including prejudice from those around them as well as hostility and refusal from the medical profession. The women recall how their reasons and decisions were ignored or pathologized by doctors who held unquestioned assumptions about how women should be. Feminist and sociological perspectives are employed to highlight that voluntarily childfree women are perceived as abnormal, not "real" women, and are often the target of negative and critical comment.

Book excerpt: The collection of topics in the second volume of this book challenges the reader to think beyond standard methods and question why certain current procedures remain static while technological advances abound in other aspects of sterilisation technology. By small means, better practices may come to pass to help answer some of the residual healthcare sterilisation and nosocomial infection queries: What are some of the current challenges in healthcare sterilisation, and how can they be handled? What are some of the acceptable current non-traditional sterilisation methods, challenging alternatives, and novel modalities? What are some of the packaging, validation and statistical considerations of sterilisation practices? How does design-of-product and packaging interrelate with sterilisation processing? Are the current sterility media and practices optimal for recovery of more modified and more resistant viable organism entities and product? Are there increased sterility and product quality needs with new types of implantables and technological advances within the three dimensional combinations of diagnostics, drug release and challenging medical devices?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing methods and processing for sterilising tissues are proving inadequate in many instances. Infections have been transmitted from the graft to the recipient and in the USA the Centre for Disease Control and other regulatory bodies have drawn attention to the need for a reliable end sterilisation method which does not damage the functionality of the final tissue. Safety of surgical allografts is, therefore, a major concern due to microbial and viral contamination of tissues which is now a problem even in the most sophisticated centres.The Presidents of the main Professional Association of Tissue Banks; American, European and Latin American met in Vienna to review the situation and concluded that the time was opportune to organise an international high level expert meeting, which would identify the best method of using radiation technology to assist in the production of safe tissue allograftsSterilisation of biological tissues with ionising radiations provides the information on this subject presented at an international meeting in Wales, supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency. New methods of protecting the tissues were presented which at the same time allow the use of sufficiently high doses of ionising radiations to inactivate invading organisms. A Code of Practice for the Radiation Sterilisation of Tissues was evaluated and the outcome and the full Code is included in this volume, as well as explorations of all of the methodologies used in the field.Sterilisation of biological tissues with ionising radiations is the only volume of its kind and as such is an invaluable source of information for those working in tissue banks, transplant surgeons and the safety regulators. - High-quality papers highlighting the most recent developments in this important area - Includes the full code of practice for the radiation sterilisation of tissues - Edited by a highly respected team of experts

Book excerpt: One of America's great miscarriages of justice, the Supreme Court's infamous 1927 Buck v. Bell ruling made government sterilization of "undesirable" citizens the law of the land New York Times bestselling author Adam Cohen tells the story in Imbeciles of one of the darkest moments in the American legal tradition: the Supreme Court's decision to champion eugenic sterilization for the greater good of the country. In 1927, when the nation was caught up in eugenic fervor, the justices allowed Virginia to sterilize Carrie Buck, a perfectly normal young woman, for being an "imbecile." It is a story with many villains, from the superintendent of the Dickensian Virginia Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded who chose Carrie for sterilization to the former Missouri agriculture professor and Nazi sympathizer who was the nation's leading advocate for eugenic sterilization. But the most troubling actors of all were the eight Supreme Court justices who were in the majority - including William Howard Taft, the former president; Louis Brandeis, the legendary progressive; and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., America's most esteemed justice, who wrote the decision urging the nation to embark on a program of mass eugenic sterilization. Exposing this tremendous injustice--which led to the sterilization of 70,000 Americans--Imbeciles overturns cherished myths and reappraises heroic figures in its relentless pursuit of the truth. With the precision of a legal brief and the passion of a front-page exposé, Cohen's Imbeciles is an unquestionable triumph of American legal and social history, an ardent accusation against these acclaimed men and our own optimistic faith in progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ways of sterilisation begin as far back as biblical and roman times, from early beginnings to standardization. Sterilisation evolution has gone through a series of trials and wizardry before it achieved the status of science. And even with a scientific approach, some of its modalities frequently has been referred to as an art (an imaginary focus), while most have achieved a certain scientific standardization. This book provides a drawbridge between history, terminology, environmental and fundamentals of sterilisation that beginners to sterilisation should recognize, but continues with advancements, which supervisors and managers should know and apply. So while providing historical and current sterilisation information, the book also provides interfacial areas with design practices, development, environmental control, material compatibility, microbiology, packaging, process selection, statistics, technical information and validation. This book consists of two volumes (Healthcare Sterilisation, Introduction and Standard Practices: Volume 1, and Healthcare Sterilisation, Challenging Practices: Volume 2). Volume 1 provides an introduction, and an overview of sterilisation on early and classical sterilisation principles such as absolutism and overkill, and steadfast and standard methods. It will help answer some healthcare sterilisation queries such as: what are the origins and evolution of sterilisation? How does environmental control and microbiology affect sterilisation? What are some of the classical as well as standard sterilisation methods? What are the most consistent and reliable sterilisation methods? Is sterilisation in your future? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Without sterilisation, infectious disease and contamination would run rampant. Consequently, sterilisation has tremendous value and disease control, and this book provides a three dimensional view of it.
