Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «El peligro que tienen las enfermedades infecciosas no se ha ido. Está empeorando. Aunque no sabemos dónde aparecerá el nuevo virus o la nueva bacteria, es seguro que habrá nuevos brotes». Robert Shope, epidemiólogo De la mano del autor de Superbacterias emprendemos un colosal viaje a la historia de la lucha contra el mayor enemigo de la humanidad: las bacterias patógenas. Las bacterias estaban aquí mucho antes de que los seres humanos poblaran la Tierra, y seguirán con sus minúsculos asuntos cuando nos hayamos extinguido. Desde hace más de 10.000 años, muchos de estos microorganismos han castigado a nuestra especie con un sin fin de enfermedades infecciosas —peste, sífilis, lepra, tifus, cólera, tuberculosis...—, que en algunos casos diezmaron seriamente las sociedades que construimos. Hemos intentado combatirlas de la mejor manera que sabíamos; pero la Microbiología no vino al rescate de la humanidad hasta bien entrado el siglo xix; así que hemos pasado en torno al 99% de nuestro tiempo sobre el planeta combatiendo con magia algo que no veíamos, un enemigo invisible y ponzoñoso que nos hacía enfermar. Afortunadamente, el conocimiento humano que llegó de la mano de brillantes colosos como van Leeuwenhoek, Snow, Pasteur, Metchnikoff, Lister, Koch o Fleming, permitió el esclarecimiento de uno de los misterios que había atemorizado a la humanidad desde sus orígenes. ¿Quién era el asesino silencioso que aniquilaba a mujeres, hombres y niños de todas las razas y religiones? Prepárese a conocer, de la forma más bella y sugerente posible, la historia de cómo nos hemos enfrentado —en una lucha atroz y desigual— contra las bacterias patógenas. «La humanidad está impotente contra un enemigo desconocido e invisible». Louis Pasteur, 1880 «Los humanos viven en un mar de microbios. Algunos están alrededor y otros incluso dentro de nosotros». Louis-Félix-Achille Kelsch (1841-1911)

Download or read book Carving a Niche written by Luz María Hernández Sáenz and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beginning of the Mexican War of Independence in 1810 triggered radical political, social, and economic changes, including the reorganization of the medical profession. During this tumultuous period of transition, physicians and surgeons merged in an effort to monopolize the field and ensure their professional survival in a postcolonial, liberal republic. Carving a Niche traces the evolution of various medical occupations in Mexico from the end of the colonial period to the beginning of the regime of Porfirio Díaz, demonstrating how competition and collaboration, identity, ever-changing legislation, political instability, and foreign intervention resulted in a complex, gradual, and unique process of medical professionalization – one that neither conformed to theoretical models nor resembled hierarchies found in other parts of the world. Through extensive research, Luz María Hernández Sáenz analyzes the uphill struggle of practitioners to claim their place as public health experts and to provide and control medical education in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Highlighting the significance of race, class, gender, and nationality, Carving a Niche demonstrates that in the case of Mexico, liberal reforms praised by traditional works often hindered, rather than promoted, the creation of a modern medical profession and the delivery of quality health care services.

Download or read book Monuments of Progress written by Claudia Agostoni and published by UNAM. This book was released on 2003 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A social and cultural history of public health in Mexico during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The book offers a fresh take on the history of medicine and public health by shifting away from the history of epidemic disease and heroic accounts of medical men and toward looking at public health in a broader social framework. It shows how new public health policies were instrumental in the 'modernisation' of Mexico. Adds to a small, but fast-growing body of literature, on the history of public health in Latin America and other developing areas of the world.

Download or read book Measuring Up written by Moramay López-Alonso and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measuring Up traces the high levels of poverty and inequality that Mexico faced in the mid-twentieth century. Using newly developed multidisciplinary techniques, the book provides a perspective on living standards in Mexico prior to the first measurement of income distribution in 1957. By offering an account of material living conditions and their repercussions on biological standards of living between 1850 and 1950, it sheds new light on the life of the marginalized during this period. Measuring Up shows that new methodologies allow us to examine the history of individuals who were not integrated into the formal economy. Using anthropometric history techniques, the book assesses how a large portion of the population was affected by piecemeal policies and flaws in the process of economic modernization and growth. It contributes to our understanding of the origins of poverty and inequality, and conveys a much-needed, long-term perspective on the living conditions of the Mexican working classes.

Download or read book Adamantiades Beh et s Disease written by Christos Zouboulis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is with great pleasure that I write this Foreword to the Proceedings of the International Conference on Behçet’s Disease which was held in Berlin in June 2002. This was the first International Conference held under the auspices of the International Society for Behçet’s Disease which was founded in 2000 in Seoul. First, I congratulate our colleagues in Berlin, led by Professor Christos Zouboulis of the Department of Dermatology at the Free University of Berlin, for having organised a most successful conference and for having compiled these proceedings so rapidly. It will be realised immediately on scanning the contents of this book that the conference was truly international with 210 participants from 26 countries, as Professor Zouboulis has noted in his preface. These included basic scientists, epidemiologists, pathologists, clinicians and, importantly, representatives from patient organisations. The latter held their own conference alongside the scientific-medical conference to mutual benefit. The combined session of patients and doctors (abstracts on pp 601 – 626) gave the opportunity for an exchange of information and fruitful discussion. The wide ranging scope of the communications is evident from the index and it was most encouraging to see their origin – from all parts of the world, from senior and junior colleagues and, from many different disciplines. Many communications may be regarded as preliminary reports of research in progress and we look forward to seeing the definitive publications in appropriate journals in due course.
Download or read book Public Animal and Environmental Aquaculture Health Issues written by Michael L. Jahncke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-04-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume to thoroughly address health concerns in the aquaculture industry Aquaculture-farming aquatic plants and organisms-is one of the fastest growing sectors of agriculture, yet attention to aquaculture health concerns has not been equal to the rate of the industry's expansion. Public, Animal, and Environmental Aquaculture Health Issues serves as a valuable guide to new enterprises, regulatory agencies, and government agencies that are concerned with safe, controlled aquaculture development. The majority of aquaculture products pose no significant health risk; however, like traditional farming operations, aquaculture has associated risks to employees, animals, the environment, and the consumer. This book addresses potential unanticipated risks from the perspectives of both industrialized and nonindustrialized countries, as well as how to mitigate these risks. Chapters include: * Status of World Fisheries and the Role of Aquaculture * Aquaculture Associated Public, Animal, and Environmental Health Issues in Nonindustrialized and Industrialized Countries * Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point and Aquaculture * Aquaculture and International Trade Regulations * Future Considerations of Global Aquaculture Aquaculture business owners, managers, producers, manufacturers, research and academic scientists, government officials, consultants, and food safety specialists will find Public, Animal, and Environmental Aquaculture Health Issues to be a valuable addition to their professional libraries.
