Making a Place for Ourselves examines an important but not widely chronicled event at the intersection of African-American history and American medical history--the black hospital movement. A practical response to the racial realities of American life, the movement was a "self-help" endeavor--immediate improvement of separate medical institutions insured the advancement and health of African Americans until the slow process of integration could occur. Recognizing that their careers depended on access to hospitals, black physicians associated with the two leading black medical societies, the National Medical Association (NMA) and the National Hospital Association (NHA), initiated the movement in the 1920s in order to upgrade the medical and education programs at black hospitals. Vanessa Northington Gamble examines the activities of these physicians and those of black community organizations, local and federal governments, and major health care organizations. She focuses on three case studies (Cleveland, Chicago, and Tuskegee) to demonstrate how the black hospital movement reflected the goals, needs, and divisions within the African-American community--and the state of American race relations. Examining ideological tensions within the black community over the existence of black hospitals, Gamble shows that black hospitals were essential for the professional lives of black physicians before the emergence of the civil rights movement. More broadly, Making a Place for Ourselves clearly and powerfully documents how issues of race and racism have affected the development of the American hospital system.

vPerhaps no artery in the human body bears as much importance to bodily functions and life as the basilar artery, by virtue of the anatomical territories it serves. This is due to the critical nature of the physiological functions supported by the brainstem, the nearby cerebellum and cerebrum, and the severity of most pathological conditions known to affect this artery, and the risk involved in treating those conditions. This book is a comprehensive resource of knowledge on the anatomical, radiological, developmental, clinical, and technical aspects relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of basilar artery diseases. Until now, no single book has been available as a wide-ranging resource of clinically relevant information on the basilar artery, its pathology, and various treatment options. The co-editors are experienced academic clinicians with active interests in clinical neurovascular imaging and cerebrovascular surgery, who have worked within vibrant hospital and academic settings at the forefront of the best clinical practices related to diseases involving the basilar artery. The co-editors’ clinical experience has been acquired in centers of excellence across the USA, Europe, and the Far East. In compiling this book, the co-editors have also called upon many of the world’s best basic and clinical neuroscientists, specializing in knowledge of clinical conditions affecting the basilar artery, for their expert input on the latest clinical management of patients with diseases involving this artery. This book is intended for neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, neurointensivists, and other physicians and scientists engaged in the study and clinical management of patients with disease of the basilar artery and its vascular territories of the brain. It should also serve as a unique educational and research resource for students and more experienced practitioners alike within this important area of clinical medicine.
