An Overview Of Public Health In The New Millenium: Individual Liberty Vs. Public Safety, Dorothy Puzio

Journal of Law and Health

This article explores the tensions between creating an effective public health system that would be able to respond to and protect against any public health threat, and protecting individuals against unnecessary intrusions on their civil liberties. It then considers approaches to this issue that might best strike a balance in a democratic society. While many Americans may recognize and even accept that greater security would entail some intrusion into individual rights, there is no formula for striking the appropriate balance. This article attempts to arrive at a workable framework by examining how the United States' public health system works. This …

No Value For A Pound Of Flesh: Extending Marketinalienability Of The Human Body, Andrew Wancata

Journal of Law and Health

In the United States and many countries throughout the world, selling non-regenerative organs for monetary gain constitutes a serious criminal offense. Notwithstanding this strong ban on the sale of organs, United States citizens are permitted to sell other "parts" of their bodies, including blood, sperm, and eggs ("ova"), for market value because current statutes do not consider reproductive cells and other regenerative tissue "organs" or even within the ambit of "parts." Rather, in most contexts, regenerative cells and tissue are though of as "products" of the human body. In fact, the United States remains one of only a few industrialized …

Pee-To-Park: Should Public High School Students Applying For On-Campus Parking Priviledges Be Required To Pass A Drug Test, Jared M. Hartman

Journal of Law and Health

This note will address the concerns raised by suspicionless drug-testing programs in public high schools by ultimately arguing that public policy considerations should be factored into the Supreme Court's balancing test, and that such considerations will weigh and balance against expanding drug-testing programs to contexts beyond those already upheld by the Supreme Court. At the least, this note will argue that the Groveport Madison drug-testing program, imposed on students applying for on-campus parking privileges, should not be upheld. However, before this argument can be properly asserted, a number of pertinent topics must be discussed. Section II of this note will …

United States V. Sell: Involuntary Administration Of Antipsychotic Medication - Are You Dangerous Or Not, Gregg Single

Journal of Law and Health

Antipsychotic drugs "alter the chemical balance in a patient's brain and can cause irreversible and fatal side effects." Furthermore, they "act at all levels of the central nervous system as well as on multiple organ systems. [They] can induce catatonic-like states, alter electroencephalographic tracings, and cause swelling of the brain. Adverse reactions include drowsiness, excitement, restlessness, bizarre dreams, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, salivation, dry mouth, perspiration, headache, constipation, blurred vision, impotency, eczema, jaundice, tremors, and muscle spasms". As well as these symptoms, they can also cause "tardive dyskinsesia, an often irreversible syndrome of uncontrollable movements that can prevent …

Dr. Joseph Rohan Lex, Jr., M.D. Faaem - The Physician-Pharmaceutical Industry Relationship, Joseph Rohan Lex Jr.

Journal of Law and Health

My premise is that physician interactions with marketing representatives result in inevitable and irreconcilable conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Our patients in medicine are the ultimate losers from such interactions.

Community Health Centers: Health Care As It Could Be, Juniper Lesnik

Journal of Law and Health

This article explores the potential of community health centers (CHCs) to become a central component providing health care in America. It focuses on health centers as a proposed solution to the dual national problems of access to care and the shortage of primary care doctoring. It argues that CHCs have the capacity to address the problem of access to health services and to provide a vibrant model for the revival of primary care. Part I deals with the history, structure, current scope, and funding of CHCs. Part II looks at national health care goals and how CHCs are uniquely poised …

The Doctor Will E-Mail You Now: Physicians' Use Of Telemedicine To Treat Patients Over The Internet, Lisa Rannefeld

Journal of Law and Health

This article examines the problems currently associated with the practice of telemedicine and suggests that the best solution for this particular field of medicine is a national standard of care. This article also suggests that the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) current functions are easily expandable to the telemedicine context; therefore, the agency should regulate the implementation of such a standard in the telemedicine field. This article proposes that the FDA use medical practice guidelines in developing the applicable standard. Other agencies, such as the American Medical Association (AMA) and other website alliances, could also aid the FDA in implementing …

The Mentally Ill Offender: A Brighter Tomorrow Through The Eyes Of The Mentally Ill Offender Treatment And Crime Reduction Act Of 2004, Ralph M. Rivera

Journal of Law and Health

Beginning in the early 1950s and '60s, states began to close their public mental health hospitals. This process was known as "deinstitutionalization." In recent years, following the massive wave of deinstitutionalization, a substantial number of institutionalized persons with mental disabilities were relocated from civil mental hospitals into jails and prisons, Despite this shift in population, correctional facilities remain ill-equipped to handle and deal with offenders with mental disabilities. One study found that approximately 6.5-10% of inmates suffered from a serious mental illness, while another 15-40% suffered from a moderate mental illness. Another study done by the Bureau of Justice Statistics …

Theories Of Therapeutic Evolution For Juvenile Drug Courts In The Face Of The Onset Of The Co-Occurrence Of Mental Health Issues And Substance/Alcohol Abuse, David L. Harvey Iii

Journal of Law and Health

The purpose of this Note is to review two specific and newly emerging therapeutic courts: juvenile mental health courts and juvenile drug courts. It will explain how and why a mental health element should be implemented into the juvenile drug court system. Part II of this Note will give a historical and procedural overview of juvenile drug courts. These procedures will draw mainly from the newly formed Medina County Juvenile Drug Court, located in Medina, Ohio. Part III will explain the origination and procedures currently employed by juvenile mental health courts, as they relate specifically to Santa Clara's Court for …

A Software Architecture For Reconstructability Analysis, Kenneth Willett, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

Software packages for reconstructability analysis (RA), as well as for related log linear modeling, generally provide a fixed set of functions. Such packages are suitable for end‐users applying RA in various domains, but do not provide a platform for research into the RA methods themselves. A new software system, Occam3, is being developed which is intended to address three goals which often conflict with one another to provide: a general and flexible infrastructure for experimentation with RA methods and algorithms; an easily‐configured system allowing methods to be combined in novel ways, without requiring deep software expertise; and a system which …

Women Leaders Combining A Career In Higher Education With Raising A Family : A Study Of Leadership, Anne Simmons Williamson

Honors Theses

Much of the research within the field of Leadership Studies focuses on whether men and women lead differently and whether women can break "the glass ceiling." This study will examine women leaders in higher education administration who have children and have already broken the glass ceiling, focusing on their work-life challenges and analyzing the structural and attitudinal issues in their organization and society that impact their leadership.

Virginia Schein (1995) identified the larger challenge for society by asking,

How can we restructure work in a society in which work and family no longer are separate, but interface?...It is when this …
