Download or read book HIV AIDS in the Post HAART Era written by John C. Hall and published by PMPH-USA. This book was released on 2011 with total page 1052 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of the virus and its effects and the clinical approaches to its treatment and transmission prevention are placed in the context of the history and epidemiology of the HIV-AIDS pandemic. Each organ system of the body is explored as to manifestations of the disease, treatment now and in the future, as well as what the disease has taught us about the immune response. The science of epidemiology, which is so important in allowing for tracking of the disease and potential limitation of transmission, is another aspect of AIDS explored in detail. The pandemic manifests differently in different parts of the world, and the relevance of the volume is enhanced by its international group of contributors. No other text provides the historical and epidemiological context of this disease along with an update of diagnosis and treatment. The underlying science and epidemiology of AIDS are not neglected, so the student or clinician who is treating patients with AIDS can gain a full understanding of HIV/AIDS in individual patients and in their communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infectious Disease Epidemiology: An Introduction is a foundational textbook for public health and related health science degrees. It provides a comprehensive public health strategy for understanding and managing the spread of infectious diseases. This unique book offers an integrated approach that covers the important methods underlying the discipline of infectious disease epidemiology, while also illustrating key social and environmental factors critical for understanding disease spread and its effect on population health. The book is divided into four parts that cover the entire scope of infectious disease origin, spread, and management. It breaks down factors leading to disease emergence and modes of transmission, the social, behavioral, cultural, and environmental dimensions that contribute to communicable spread and severity, as well as the tools used for disease detection, surveillance, control, and eradication. It discusses the latest knowledge and technologies in the field—including specific coverage on the role of big data and digital disease detection, the impact and challenges of vaccines, and much more. Core epidemiologic principles are explored through rich real-world examples, utilizing a combination of case studies, popular media examples, and didactic exercises. Each chapter has an engaging narrative and includes key terms and definitions, insightful vignettes, visually compelling illustrations, thought questions, and discussion questions to foster critical thinking and spark further investigation. Infectious Disease Epidemiology: An Introduction is an essential resource for students of public health and other health professionals in developing a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of this growing and dynamic field. Key Features: Provides students with an integrated approach illustrating important epidemiologic methods and tools in the context of current and historic real-world examples Uses multidisciplinary approaches to contextualize broader socio-behavioral factors and disparities in infectious disease Illustrates how novel methodological and technological advances support progress in infectious disease epidemiology Poses engaging discussion questions in each chapter that help guide in-class discussions and group work
