Book excerpt: Explore the tropical medical research and findings of the British and Sudanese doctors and scientists in the 1900s! Laboratory on the Nile describes in detail the work of The Wellcome Tropical Research Laboratories in Khartoum, Sudan, that was under the direction of Dr. Andrew Balfour in the aftermath of the reconquest of The Sudan after the Mahdia period. As a student of tropical medicine or a medical or pharmaceutical historian, you will discover how the floating laboratory helped to advance tropical medicine as it was towed along the reaches of both the Blue and White Niles to gain clinical cases, collect specimens, and learn about the lives and customs of the Arab and Negroid Sudanese. Based on the complete set of reports and reviews of the Wellcome Tropical Research Laboratories, Laboratory on the Nile presents a summary of the military and political matters that brought the British and Dervish forces of the Mahdia into armed conflict. You will explore how the conqueror, Kitchener of Khartoum, led his people toward civilization with an educational movement that allowed industrial philanthropist Henry S. Wellcome to provide the means for medical research. Complete with multiple photos and drawings of the period (1899-1913), Laboratory on the Nile covers the research of what became a world-renowned center of excellence in tropical disease research. In Laboratory on the Nile, you will discover research that revealed brutal and superstitious practices such as female circumcision, mutilation, crude surgery, barbaric medical practices, the inhumane treatment of those thought to be possessed by devils, and the reliance on charms and mystic-religious practices. Within this historical work you will also explore: research on tropical diseases and the collection of plants, insects, blood samples, and photographs of diseased individuals research on the Nile river, and in agricultural developments, dealing with famines from failed harvests eradicating the mosquito and instilling sanitary conditions in Sudan to halt the spread of diseases and ailments such as dysentery, enteric fever, malaria, measles, and chicken-pox fascinating accounts of Dervish medicine that was a combination of savage quackery and charlatan tricks investigations into tropical medicine, hygiene, parasitology, and sanitation the efforts used to treat the Kal-azar disease which has a long and fatal history in Africa, Asia, and Latin America detailed accounts of early research expeditions that examined the people themselves, their customs, superstitions, and traditional medical practices Laboratory on the Nile is an in-depth look at the tropical medical research and studies that were conducted to benefit the people of The Sudan in fighting diseases.

Download or read book Lab 257 written by Michael C. Carroll and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strictly off limits to the public, Plum Island is home to virginal beaches, cliffs, forests, ponds -- and the deadliest germs that have ever roamed the planet. Lab 257 blows the lid off the stunning true nature and checkered history of Plum Island. It shows that the seemingly bucolic island in the shadow of New York City is a ticking biological time bomb that none of us can safely ignore. Based on declassified government documents, in-depth interviews, and access to Plum Island itself, this is an eye-opening, suspenseful account of a federal government germ laboratory gone terribly wrong. For the first time, Lab 257 takes you deep inside this secret world and presents startling revelations on virus outbreaks, biological meltdowns, infected workers, the periodic flushing of contaminated raw sewage into area waters, and the insidious connections between Plum Island, Lyme disease, and the deadly West Nile virus. The book also probes what's in store for Plum Island's new owner, the Department of Homeland Security, in this age of bioterrorism. Lab 257 is a call to action for those concerned with protecting present and future generations from preventable biological catastrophes.

Download or read book The Eastern Mediterranean as a Laboratory Basin for the Assessment of Contrasting Ecosystems written by Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-02-28 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "The Eastern Mediterranean as a laboratory basin for the assessment of contrasting ecosystems" that was held in Kiev, Ukraine, March 23-27, 1998. The scientific rationale of the workshop can be summarized as follows. The Eastern Mediterranean is the most nutrient impoverished and oligotrophic large water body known. There is a well-defined eastward trend in nutrient ratios over the entire Mediterranean that starts at the Gibraltar Straits and, through the western basin, proceeds to the Ionian and Levantine Seas. Supply of nutrients to the entire Mediterranean is limited by inputs from the North Atlantic and various river systems along the sea. The unique feature of the Mediterranean is the presence of an eastward longitudinal trend in available nitrate/phosphate ratios. This apparently induces a west-to-east variation in the structure of the pelagic food web and trophic interactions. In this context the Mediterranean, and in particular its Eastern basin, provides probably a unique platform to explore the hypotheses related to the suggested phosphate-limitation on production and to the shift between "microbial" and "classical" modes of operation of the photic food web. The major exception of the overall oligotrophic nature of the Eastern Mediterranean is the highly eutrophic system of the Northern Adriatic Sea. Here, during the last two decades the discharges of the northern rivers (especially of the Po), together with municipal sewage, have led to a very marked increase of nutrients and subsequent imponent eutrophication events.
