Book excerpt: Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases.

Download or read book Tuberculosis and Veterans Medical Centers written by DIANE Publishing Company and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1994-04 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on an incomparable collection of architectural drawings and prints,photographs, books, and periodicals, Architecture and Its Image explores the idea of serial imageryin architectural representation through works dating from the Renaissance to today.Although drawingsand photographs of architecture are often viewed as single images, they are generally produced inseries. The most basic of these is the set of drawings that shows a building in plan, elevation, andsection. But as Architecture and Its Image reveals, the concept can be extended to other types ofarchitectural representations: theater sets, travel accounts, photographic surveys, pattern books,even the alternative designs submitted for competition. All relate in different ways to theirsubjects; viewed in series, all reveal underlying principles of organization that can convey newunderstanding of architectural imagery.Under the headings Architecture in Three Dimensions,Architecture in Place and Time, and Architecture in Process, essays by six scholars use the conceptof serial imagery to explore the complex relationship between various types of architecturalrepresentations and their subject matter: projective drawings (Robin Evans), 19th-century urbansurvey photography (Eve Blau), the travel narratives of English architectural "explorers" from themid-18th to the mid-19th century (Edward Kaufman), festival and theater architecture (WilliamAlexander McClung), architectural publications, competitions, and exhibitions (Helene Lipstadt), andcomputer graphics (Robert Bruegmann).An accompanying catalog describes 350 examples, drawn from theCCA collections, of work by architects and architectural delineators, photographers, andcartographers. The book is illustrated by over 400 superbly reproduced duotone illustrations and 16pages of color.Eve Blau is Curator of Exhibitions and Publications at the CCA. Edward Kaufman isAssistant Professor in the School of Architecture at Columbia University.Architecture and Its Imageis a publication of the Centre Canadien d'Architecture/Canadian Centre for Architecture, MontrealDistributed by The MIT Press.
Download or read book Microbiology written by Edward Bittar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1998-02-16 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a need in small group teaching for a readable module that provides a balanced treatment of the four main areas of medical microbiology-bacteriology, mycology, virology and parasistology. It need not be encyclopedic in scope nor didactic, but it should emphasise principles and concepts. Any existing gaps in this type of presentation are, of course, left for the student to fill.Some subject material has been excluded. An example is a chapter on laboratory procedures including PCR for rapid bacterial and viral diagnosis. The discussion of bacterial sexually transmitted diseases does not cover goncoccal infections. This is not a serious matter because the tutor can assign the topic to the students. Moreover, we have reluctantly omitted a separate chapter on anaerobic bacteria. The subject of nosocomial pathogens is touched upon but not in sufficient detail (e.g., control). These bacteria (e.g., S. aureus, E. coli and pseudomonas) are found in hospitals and are resistant to disinfectants and antibiotics. A new but serious problem is the emergence of resistance to antiviral agents.Without question, molecular biology owes more to the study of viruses than bacteria. The fact remains, however, that effective therapy against most viral diseases is not yet available. Perhaps one of the most dramatic examples of this situation is the fight against the AIDS virus and the search for a vaccine. The public health challenge of AIDS remains formidable in spite of the recent encouraging results obtained with protease inhibitor therapy. At the moment at least six receptors for HIV are known to be present in human cells. One of them is the CCR5 receptor in the absence of which cells fail to get infected with the virus. Drugs that can interrupt CCR5 binding sites on the virus envelope are being vigorously sought. Thus, Volume 9B gives a large place to HIV disease.The last group of chapters highlight several features of microbiology which are also of clinical importance and heuristic value. The chapter on fever of unknown origin provides fertile soil for problem based learning.

Download or read book Quality of Care for General Medical Conditions written by Elizabeth A. McGlynn and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2000 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is one of five volumes providing detailed information on the QA Tools, RAND's comprehensive, clinically based system for assessing quality of care for children and adults. The QA Tools indicators encompass screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up in 46 clinical areas and cover a variety of modes of providing care, including history, physical examination, laboratory study, medication, and other interventions and contacts. Development of each indicator was based on the ratings of a panel of experts in the relevant fields and on a focused review of the scientific literature, which is clearly documented for each clinical condition. This volume focuses on indicators for care of general medical conditions. Each chapter summarizes the results of the literature review for a particular condition, provides RAND staff's recommended indicators based on that review, and notes the level of scientific evidence supporting each indicator along with the relevant citations. In addition, this work details the process by which the expert panel evaluated the indicators and the final disposition of each indicator. Clinical conditions covered in this volume are: Acne, alcohol dependence, allergic rhinitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, cataracts, cholelithiasis, dementia, depression, diabetes mellitus, hormone replacement therapy, headache, hip fracture, hysterectomy, inguinal hernia, acute low back pain, orthopedic conditions. Other RAND Health titles on the QA Tools system focus on indicators for children and adolescents, oncology and HIV, cardiopulmonary conditions, and women.

Download or read book Tuberculosis in the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-05-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before effective treatments were introduced in the 1950s, tuberculosis was a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Health care workers were at particular risk. Although the occupational risk of tuberculosis has been declining in recent years, this new book from the Institute of Medicine concludes that vigilance in tuberculosis control is still needed in workplaces and communities. Tuberculosis in the Workplace reviews evidence about the effectiveness of control measuresâ€"such as those recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionâ€"intended to prevent transmission of tuberculosis in health care and other workplaces. It discusses whether proposed regulations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration would likely increase or sustain compliance with effective control measures and would allow adequate flexibility to adapt measures to the degree of risk facing workers.
