Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Plague: Dealing With the Historical, Epidemiological, Clinical, Therapeutic, and Preventive Aspects of the Disease This volume has been written at the request of the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press with the object of bringing within a moderate compass the principal facts concerning plague, from its historical, epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and preventive aspects. Eleven years ago, plague as an epidemic disease was merely of historical interest. Confined to some remote places in China, in India, in Persia, in Arabia, and in Africa, its power was generally believed to be extinct. To-day plague is a matter of concern to many countries and has been the subject of two International Conferences. These Conferences have met, discussed and agreed to the carrying out of measures which, while inflicting the least injury on commerce, might reasonably be expected to protect Europe from an invasion of the disease, and during the past eight years Europe has, notwithstanding one or two alarms, had little reason to doubt that the adoption of these measures has been most serviceable in preventing the permanent lodgement of plague. Europe is however but a small part of the world and other continents have not been so fortunate, and although no great outburst has occurred on the American, African, or Australian Continent, yet there remains the fact that the disease has acquired a lodgement in these and necessitates the greatest vigilance. Plague takes its own time and opportunities for its development, and it is unwise to be lulled into a sense of security by its apparent impotency to spread in a particular country. That it is capable of spreading is seen too plainly in India. Few thought it possible, when plague broke out in Bombay in 1896 after an absence of 200 years, that the disease would not be controlled, checked and stamped out in a short time. It was a rude awakening when the deaths began to mount up to a few thousands to find the old scenes associated with plague epidemics reappear.

This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Editor Joseph P. Byrne, together with an advisory board of specialists and over 100 scholars, research scientists, and medical practitioners from 13 countries, has produced a uniquely interdisciplinary treatment of the ways in which diseases pestilence, and plagues have affected human life. From the Athenian flu pandemic to the Black Death to AIDS, this extensive two-volume set offers a sociocultural, historical, and medical look at infectious diseases and their place in human history from Neolithic times to the present. Nearly 300 entries cover individual diseases (such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, Ebola, and SARS); major epidemics (such as the Black Death, 16th-century syphilis, cholera in the nineteenth century, and the Spanish Flu of 1918-19); environmental factors (such as ecology, travel, poverty, wealth, slavery, and war); and historical and cultural effects of disease (such as the relationship of Romanticism to Tuberculosis, the closing of London theaters during plague epidemics, and the effect of venereal disease on social reform). Primary source sidebars, over 70 illustrations, a glossary, and an extensive print and nonprint bibliography round out the work.

Download or read book Plague written by Wendy Orent and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plague is a terrifying mystery. In the Middle Ages, it wiped out 40 million people -- 40 percent of the total population in Europe. Seven hundred years earlier, the Justinian Plague destroyed the Byzantine Empire and ushered in the Middle Ages. The plague of London in the seventeenth century killed more than 1,000 people a day. In the early twentieth century, plague again swept Asia, taking the lives of 12 million in India alone. Even more frightening is what it could do to us in the near future. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian scientists created genetically altered, antibiotic-resistant and vaccine-resistant strains of plague that can bypass the human immune system and spread directly from person to person. These weaponized strains still exist, and they could be replicated in almost any laboratory. Wendy Orent's Plague pieces together a fascinating and terrifying historical whodunit. Drawing on the latest research in labs around the world, along with extensive interviews with American and Soviet plague experts, Orent offers nothing less than a biography of a disease. Plague helped bring down the Roman Empire and close the Middle Ages; it has had a dramatic impact on our history, yet we still do not fully understand its own evolution. Orent's retelling of the four great pandemics makes for gripping reading and solves many puzzles. Why did some pandemics jump from person to person, while others relied on insects as carriers? Why are some strains more virulent than others? Orent reveals the key differences among rat-based, prairie dog-based, and marmot-based plague. The marmots of Central Asia, in particular, have long been hosts to the most virulent and frightening form of the disease, a form that can travel around the world in the blink of an eye. From its ability to hide out in the wild, only to spring back into humanity with a terrifying vengeance, to its elusive capacity to develop suddenly greater virulence and transmissibility, plague is a protean nightmare. To make matters worse, Orent's disturbing revelations about the former Soviet bioweapon programs suggest that the nightmare may not be over. Plague is chilling reading at the dawn of a new age of bioterrorism.

Download or read book Insights into Portuguese Medical History written by Maria do Sameiro Barroso and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its richness as a potential research field, the history of medicine in Portugal has received relatively little attention outside the country. This book develops some of the understudied themes of Portuguese medical history and delivers them to a wider audience by bringing together the work of a group of international scholars. Here, a unique set of innovative studies begins to uncover details of the lives, medical practice and research of some famous and less well-known Portuguese physicians, the Portuguese response to past pandemics, and analyses of a wide range of items of medical material culture and materia medica. The contributions here elucidate topics as wide-ranging as Graeco-Roman medicine and surgery, the history of spectacles, defence against plague and other epidemics, the history of medicinal emeralds and cinchonine, and echoes of the first female forensic physician in Portugal. This book will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of science, and especially those who enjoy the history of medicine and pharmacy.
