Medical Ethics: An Excuse for Inefficiency?
No full textThe author maintains that the medical profession ignores the
objective of a health care system--to maximize the health of the community
with the resources available--in favor of maximizing the care of the
individual patient. In terms of medical ethics this results in an apparent
conflict between the individual values of virtue and duty and the social value
of the common good. Mooney proposes certain changes in Britain's National
Health Service which, while preserving clinical freedom, would lead to
incorporation of the value of the common good into medical ethics. (KIE

Lawyering at the Extremes: The Representation of Tom Mooney, 1916-1939
Get PDFThis article explores the complex and often strained relationship between Tom Mooney, the famous labor radical who was framed for a bombing murder, and his lawyers over the course of the 23-year long battle to gain his freedom. The author uses the lawyers’ archives to explore the intense difficulties that arise between a client who believes the legal system is hopelessly corrupt and his lawyers who hope to free their client and redeem the justice system at the same time. While sympathetic to Tom Mooney and the lawyers, Roiphe concludes that an independent legal profession struggling to negotiate its obligation to the client and the system is a fundamental aspect of the American democratic system

Introduction to the themed issue - Corporate power : agency, communication, influence and social policy
No full textThis paper introduces this themed issue of Critical Social Policy on the question of corporate power. Corporate power is recognized as an important agent in social policy making and delivery. However, to date there has been comparatively little attention to the crucial role that lobbying and corporate 'spin' play in helping to shape policy making contexts. This special issue of Critical Social Policy is concerned to bring such issues to the mainstream of social policy analysis. It is argued here that the rise of spin and public relations is a key feature of neoliberalism in the past two decades. These have worked to reshape policy making, resulting in pronounced changes in the content and process of policy making and it is argued that these have tended to marginalize or undermine democratic processes

International migration and extreme health inequality: robust arguments and institutions for international redistribution in health care
No full textThe international migration of health professionals from low-income under-staffed health systems worsens the extreme global inequality in health services. The politics and economics of these migration patterns challenge neat boundaries around ‘national’, ‘international’ and ‘aid’, bringing into focus the embeddedness of national health services in internationally integrating markets and cross-border social relationships. This chapter uses the challenging aspects of health professionals' migration as a ‘lens’ for examining aspects of the economics of international redistribution in health care.
The chapter first demonstrates the distributive consequences of migration of health professionals: a perverse redistribution of resources from poor to rich. This is examined within a policy framework that takes as an assumption that labour markets are populated by individuals with equal human rights, and considers the implications for international obligations of rich countries' governments and citizens. It then provides evidence that health services financing and provision within countries is typically progressive, including public health care in much of sub-Saharan Africa, a fact obscured by international emphasis on its shortcomings. In most rich countries, the embedding of redistributive processes within institutionalized commitments to universalist health service provision has long stabilized governmental and social commitment to economic redistribution, while within federal countries and the EU, labour migration is often associated with cross-border redistributive transfers to enhance efficiency and equity.
It follows that as labour markets integrate between rich and poor countries, the economic arguments for sustained redistribution across borders become stronger, while the experience of stable redistribution within health services suggests that health may be an excellent site for progressive international fiscal transfers
Spectral tuning of ultraviolet cone pigments: An interhelical lock mechanism
No full textUltraviolet (UV) cone pigments can provide insights into the molecular evolution of vertebrate vision since they are nearer to ancestral pigments than the dim-light rod photoreceptor rhodopsin. While visible-absorbing pigments contain an 11-cis retinyl chromophore with a protonated Schiff-base (PSB11), UV pigments uniquely contain an unprotonated Schiff-base (USB11). Upon F86Y mutation in model UV pigments, both the USB11 and PSB11 forms of the chromophore are found to coexist at physiological pH. The origin of this intriguing equilibrium remains to be understood at the molecular level. Here, we address this phenomenon and the role of the USB11 environment in spectral tuning by combining mutagenesis studies with spectroscopic (UV-vis) and theoretical [DFT-QM/MM (SORCI+Q//B3LYP/6-31G(d): Amber96)] analysis. We compare structural models of the wild-type (WT), F86Y, S90A and S90C mutants of Siberian hamster ultraviolet (SHUV) cone pigment to explore structural rearrangements that stabilize USB11 over PSB11. We find that the PSB11 forms upon F86Y mutation and is stabilized by an "inter-helical lock" (IHL) established by hydrogen-bonding networks between transmembrane (TM) helices TM6, TM2, and TM3 (including water w2c and amino acid residues Y265, F86Y, G117, S118, A114, and E113). The findings implicate the involvement of the IHL in constraining the displacement of TM6, an essential component of the activation of rhodopsin, in the spectral tuning of UV pigments. © 2013 American Chemical Society
