This fully updated and expanded edition of Saving Lives highlights the essential roles nurses play in contemporary health care and how this role is marginalized by contemporary culture. Through engaging prose and examples drawn from television, advertising, and news coverage, the authors detail the media's role in reinforcing stereotypes that fuel the nursing shortage and devalue a highly educated sector of the contemporary workforce. Perhaps most important, the authors provide a wealth of ideas to help reinvigorate the nursing field and correct this imbalance.

For more than 50 years, low-cost antimalarial drugs silently saved millions of lives and cured billions of debilitating infections. Today, however, these drugs no longer work against the deadliest form of malaria that exists throughout the world. Malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africaâ€"currently just over one million per yearâ€"are rising because of increased resistance to the old, inexpensive drugs. Although effective new drugs called "artemisinins" are available, they are unaffordable for the majority of the affected population, even at a cost of one dollar per course. Saving Lives, Buying Time: Economics of Malaria Drugs in an Age of Resistance examines the history of malaria treatments, provides an overview of the current drug crisis, and offers recommendations on maximizing access to and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs. The book finds that most people in endemic countries will not have access to currently effective combination treatments, which should include an artemisinin, without financing from the global community. Without funding for effective treatment, malaria mortality could double over the next 10 to 20 years and transmission will intensify.

Remotely piloted vehicles (RPV) have been credited with eliminating pilot and crew losses and lowering operating costs. They have also been said to increase vehicle survivability and performance because of their increased maneuverability and detection avoidance. GAO reviewed the status of remotely piloted vehicle technology to see if it could have wider application in the military and civil sectors. While some technological limitations to widespread use of the vehicles exist, experts agree that problems could be overcome if a real interest in them were to develop. Because the military services have been reluctant to take advantage of the promise which was demonstrated by unmanned aircraft in Vietnam, funding support has diminished. No civil programs for using remotely piloted vehicles exist. Unless they are developed for military use, which would make them affordable, they will not find widespread use in civil applications. The Department of Defense (DOD) has no operational remotely piloted vehicles, only two development programs, and limited plans for future applications. A remotely piloted vehicle is considered to be better suited than manned aircraft for harassment, decoy, surveillance or reconnaissance, and electronic warfare support missions. These vehicles eliminate pilot risks, are cheaper to build, entail less training costs, save fuel, and are more survivable than manned aircraft. Their performance under emergency or unforeseen conditions and recovery difficulties are the most widely perceived disadvantages to military unmanned systems. In the civil sector, they could be used effectively for meteorological data gathering, atmospheric sampling, and surveillance.
