Colloque – Vaccination, Society and Politics

 

Berlin, 28-30 April

Vaccination, Society and Politics. Sociopolitical developments and the implementation of new medical practices- analyzed through the practice of vaccination.

Organized by Berlin School of Public Health and Institute of the History of Medicine, Charité Universitätsmedizin.

In 2007, the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was the first of its kind after a decades search to prevent a cancer, cervical carcinoma, to be officially recommended by the German government.While it is an important step in individual cancer prevention, this vaccine also adds a new milestone to vaccination history itself.

The symposium seeks to examine the complexities of the supposedly existing paradigm change in vaccination practice through a historical and sociopolitical lens. Presentations will combine the current historical and social science research on vaccination practice on societal and individual levels with the analysis of the different political and social contexts in which vaccination has been carried out.

Appel à contribution – Standards and Drug use outside the Pharmacy

Appel à contribution – Standards and Drug use outside the Pharmacy

Call for papers Deadline : June 15 2011

Conference to be held in Lyon, December 15, 16, 17 2011

 

What happens to drugs once they are marketed and prescribed? Does the passage of a pharmaceutical product into the public faithfully mirror what was intended or expected by the scientists who conceived it or by the pharmaceutical company that produced and marketed it? The trajectories of these products in the public are difficult to predict, whether at the level of physicians’ prescriptions or of patients’ consumption. The fact that most drugs are consumed (or not) in a context beyond the direct control of the medical profession limits the possibilities for standardising their use and gauging the totality of their effects.

As several historians of biomedicine have argued, the appropriation of drugs by physicians and patients is an important factor in their historical and economic trajectories. This appropriation often challenges the notion of ‘standardization’ as understood by the manufacturer and institutional regulator of the product. The level of consumption may be higher or lower than originally expected. The prescription may differ from the indications suggested by the manufacturer, and in some cases the development of addiction or practices of drug abuse can radically change the consumer’s relationship to the drug. Thus, the destiny of a drug in the public may be quite different from the one envisaged or even imagined by the manufacturer, the scientists and the health authorities. One of the aims of this conference is to discuss ‘unpredictable trajectories’ in the public, whether they be off-label use or the deliberate ‘misuse’ of drugs prescribed for a different patient or use.

In some cases, the trajectory of drugs in the public can reveal failures in the standardization of drugs. Side-effects, in particular dramatic ones including patient deaths, make these failures public. We would like to consider two aspects of this question. The first one concerns the drama itself and what it teaches us about the standardization of drugs (the process, rules, experiments, and expertise, as well as what failed or what was predictable). The second point is about the public attitude to such dramas; how they change the representations of drugs and the behaviour of the consumers. We would also like to consider how such affairs contribute to the emergence of patient associations and movements. Such high-profile affairs also change the relationship between patients, pharmaceutical firms and public health bodies. Thus, we can consider the history of certain drugs in the public as testifying to the failure of standardization.

Finally, pharmaceutical industrialists, patients and public health administrations were aware from the beginning that the fate of drugs in the public was difficult to manage and control. Thus, they aimed to establish rules for the marketing of drugs, including the supervision of prescriptions and compliance with the indications. There have also been initiatives to collect data about drugs effects and indications with the aim of defining the optimal use of the drugs, often with the collaboration of patient associations. Thus, the final issue we would like to raise concerns the standardization of drug alert mechanisms (for example the organization of ‘pharmacovigilance’ in France beginning in the 1970s and traceability of products).

We invite papers on the following themes:

1. “Unpredictable trajectories”: – Studies in drug consumption (quantitative and qualitative data). – Drug misuse, non-use and abuse. – Second lives of drugs: when the public use of drugs changes indications and prescriptions.

2. Drugs in the public: failures of standardization: – Unpredictable side-effects and their consequences. – Public affairs and scandals: changes in the public perception of drugs.

3. The public life of drugs and the limits of control: – The regulation of drugs markets: supervising prescriptions. – Patients as consumers: how to control the use and consumption of drugs? – Traceability of drugs and standardization.

Europeans presenting papers at this conference will have their travel and accommodation provided by the European Science Foundation.

Abstracts of not more than 450 words should be submitted before June 15 2011.

Please send your abstract in ‘rtf’ format to the addresses of the organisers.

Mardi 31 mai 2011  |  Cambridge (CB1 2EW, Grande-Bretagne)

 

An International Workshop to be held at Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge, 8–9 September 2011

What are the archives of the body? Can the body serve as an archive itself? What sources tell us the most about the body? This workshop, sponsored by the Académie Nationale de Médecine, Paris, aims to bring together historians, literary scholars, art historians and archaeologists to explore multiple types of evidence about human bodies in the medieval and early modern periods, in Europe, the New World and the Muslim and Jewish worlds.

The sources examined might include: the archives of hospitals, universities and medical academies; civic, monastic, ecclesiastical and judicial records; iconographic sources, medical treatises and archaeological data.

A keynote paper, ‘The Body in Pain and Tales of Election and Damnation during the French Wars of Religion’, will be presented by Dr Luc Racaut (School of Historical Studies, University of Newcastle).

Possible topics may include:

The holy body
Iconoclasm, corporal mortification
Medicine and diseased bodies
Anatomical knowledge and pathology
Gender, nudity and sexuality
Bodily difference and disability
The body as a commodity
Beauty and the ideal body
Senses, sensitivity and emotions

How to apply ?

Proposals for 20-minute papers are invited from

advanced scholars,
early career researchers and
doctoral students.
Paper abstracts no longer than 300 words, with a brief CV and full contact details, should be emailed to both

Dr Elma Brenner (ehob2@cam.ac.uk) and

« Immunité innée ou adaptative ? L’exemple des cellules NK »

Les cellules Natural killer (NK) ont été initialement définies comme lymphocytes effecteurs de l’immunité innée dotées de fonctions constitutives cytolytiques. Plus récemment, une vision plus nuancée des cellules NK a émergé. Les cellules NK sont maintenant reconnues comme exprimant un répertoire d’activation et de récepteurs inhibiteurs qui est étalonné pour assurer la tolérance au soi, tout en permettant l’efficacité contre les infections et le développement des tumeurs. En outre, les cellules NK ne réagissent pas de manière invariante mais s’adaptent à leur environnement. Enfin, des études récentes ont dévoilé que les cellules NK peuvent également monter une forme de mémoire immunologique spécifique de l’antigène. Ainsi, les cellules NK exercent des fonctions sophistiquées biologiques sophistiquées qui ont des attributs de l’immunité innée et adaptative, brouillant les frontières fonctionnelles entre ces deux branches
de la réponse immunitaire.
