Book excerpt: Tsia had dreamed all her life of becoming a guide, attuned to her world through a telepathic gate to another lifeform. At last, she took the guide virus that would mutate her body to create the gate she so desperately craved. But the lifeform her body took was the one lifeform forbidden--the felines, who had scouted the planet for the First Droppers and, in exchange, been promised their freedom forever from human domination. By laws of the Guide Guild and the First-Landing Pact, she could never call to the cats, never speak with them, never approach them. But then capture and imprisonment, torture and slavery took the place of an empty future. Suddenly Tsia's only hope lay with her gate--and once she had touched the cats, there would be no turning back...

Download or read book Cat Scratch Disease written by Chris Williams and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cat scratch disease (CSD), also known as cat scratch fever, is a bacterial infection primarily caused by a bacterium called Bartonella henselae. It is usually transmitted to humans through the scratch or bite of an infected cat, especially kittens, although other feline species can also carry the bacteria. The primary symptoms of cat scratch disease often include a small bump or blister at the site of the scratch or bite, followed by swollen lymph nodes, usually near the area of injury. Other symptoms may include fatigue, fever, headache, and in some cases, an overall feeling of malaise. In most cases, cat scratch disease is self-limiting and resolves on its own without specific treatment. However, severe cases might require antibiotics to manage the infection, especially if complications arise or in individuals with weakened immune systems. Though relatively uncommon, complications of cat scratch disease can include infections of the brain, eyes, heart, or bones, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems. Preventive measures include practicing good hygiene after handling cats, especially washing hands thoroughly, avoiding rough play with cats that might lead to scratches or bites, and promptly cleaning any wounds caused by cats to reduce the risk of infection.

This book was released on 2024-07-13 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cat Scratch Disease (CSD): Causes, History, Prevalence, Diagnosis, Management Etc., Cat scratch disease (CSD), also known as cat scratch fever or subacute regional lymphadenitis, is a bacterial infection affecting lymph nodes that drain the sites of inoculation. Bartonella henselae, a gram-negative rod, is considered the principal etiologic agent. CSD is one of the most common causes of chronic lymphadenopathy in children and adolescents. Patients with CSD usually have a history of sustaining a scratch or bite from a cat (typically a kitten). The initial symptom is formation of a papule at the inoculation site, followed by solitary or regional lymphadenopathy within 1-2 weeks. In most patients, the disease resolves spontaneously within 2-4 months. Thus, it is strived in this E-Booklet to describe precisely Causes, Summarised History, Evaluation and Management of cat scratch disease and along with Plenty of ILLUSTRATIONS for better understanding.

Download or read book Tumors and Tumor Like Lesions of the Hepatobiliary Tract written by Arthur Zimmermann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 3517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers all liver tumors and lesions that clinically and radiologically mimic liver tumors. It provides readers with a comprehensive overview of this complex and rapidly evolving field. All aspects of surgical pathology are addressed, supplemented by detailed presentations of the lesions’ cell-biologic and molecular features. In addition, the methods employed for diagnosis and diagnostic algorithms are discussed. It appeals to pathologists and hepatologists and serves as an invaluable aid to diagnosis.The field of liver tumors and tumor-like lesions in adults and children has experienced tremendous advances in recent years. Specifically, the recognition of novel entities, deepened insights into known tumors, and refinement of classifications have necessitated continual updates and reappraisals. In addition, previous understanding of hepatic carcinogenesis and tumor progression has been transformed by the very rapid evolution of our understanding of cell biology, genomics, signaling pathways, cell interactions, and mechanisms of invasion and spread of hepatic tumor cells. These general pathology issues must be combined with surgical pathology if a comprehensive understanding of liver tumor pathology is to be achieved.
