I am advancing in the empirical design of my next project about regimes of knowledge production on Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and I would like to know if you have any suggestions of literature about this topic in STS, Medical Sociology of related fields.

I am interested in the perspective of the coproduction of biomedical evidence which emerges in the circuit of pathologization/diagnostic/medicalization/evaluation/new research agenda, specially addressed to the diffusion of immunotherapies and artificial antibodies in Oncology and Rheumatology.

Keep safe and cheers!

Answer

I believe inclusion of these medical humanities will prevent doctors from being dissociated from their societies and will give rise to human-doctors.

Are you familiar with the history of the food diary? Is there any specific research or works in literature and art on the food diary or journal?

Have you read any articles on the history of food diary/journal in relation to its use in medicine? Where can I find any interesting stories, books or articles written by physicians, medical administrators or librarians, patients? I would also be interested if there are any documented stories in medical anthropology, medical humanities or even literature.

Now I can access the link via the cached version (that is using Google as a search engine) - to anyone having problem accessing the link above re Yoshiro Nakamatsu interview. If this is the right interview (2012?), there is only one sentence covering the topic: "He also photographs every dish he eats to recall the stimulating ones. " I am not saying it is not worth it, I hope I got the right page. I also think we should reflect more on food and I think any kind of diary could be helpful. Thanks for sharing the link to the interview!
