    Summary: "As a country, the United States overinvests in medical care, often at the expense of the social, economic, and cultural forces that produce health. Indeed, the rise of medicine as a cornerstone of American life and culture has coincided with a social and political devaluation of factors demonstrated to mean more to one's vitality than anything else-influences like where one lives, works, and plays; livable wages that create opportunity for healthy living; and gender and racial equity. As such, this book pushes the conversation around American health toward matters of class, money, and culture. It highlights how the structural components of everyday life ultimately determine who gets to be healthy in today's America. In doing so, it makes a case for reframing the political discourse on public health in less myopic, more effectual terms"-- Provided by publisher.

    Ketoprofen (Orudis; Maybaker), whose use has not previously been reported in choldren, was compared with indomethacin in a double-blind crossover trial in 30 children with juvenile chronic arthritis. Both drugs proved to be safe and effective analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents although indomethacin emerged as the preferred drug. Perhaps higher doses of ketoprofen would be safe and more effective. Side-effects were few and mild. The problems of patient compliance and the assessment of pain in children are discussed.
